"Now I'm you", MHA oneshot, ft Izuku

Izuku sighed in relief, ducking into an alleyway before he leaned against the wall.

Panting lightly as he smiled. He didn't get it all at first, how- useful a quirk like this could be. Continuing to smile to himself as he looked at his hands. Watching them change, larger- rougher... And the ground became further away as if he was being lifted up.

He had developed a quirk late... And this- was the result; the ability to turn into others, so long as he saw their face. Though he could only shapeshift into what he already saw and heard..

If he saw their quirk? He could wield it, voice? He could use it... And nobody- nobody would know it was him.

The thought made him once more smile. Or was it because he'd only ever seen the hero smile? That his own face only had one expression to copy?

Izuku took a deep breath, before exiting the alleyway and running into the heroes that had been chasing him previously.

"All Might- have you seen a young boy run by? Green hair- dark clothes, short-ish, the little guy is quick..." Fatgum... He never thought he'd have Fatgum looking for him. Having to push down his excitement and contain it for the time being.

"A young man?... I'm afraid I haven't, fellow. I was actually just after wrapping up a different situation. Sorry I can't be much help," he said, even his voice sounded like All Mights, almost identical even.

Izuku could feel his heart loudly beating in his chest, or- All Might's chest?.. He wasn't sure.

Fatgum sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Alright, just thought I'd ask since you were in the area. Not even the first time either- heard he showed up on a scene looking like Edgeshot, then the actual one showed up and that kid fled." Fatgum stated, it was like he had gotten scared of being caught.

But if Edgeshot hadn't shown up- he would've been just fine. As Izuku clenched his fists...

"Sounds troublesome, it's getting late- so I gotta bounce." He said, trying to come up with a decent excuse. Fatgum knew about it- of course he would've!

"I guess even the number one needs rest every now and then. Alright, I'll let you go then." Fatgum said as he patted his shoulder.

"Fairwell Fatgum!" Izuku said before taking off.

That was close- even for him... As he made his way back home, making sure to dip into another alleyway to transform back.

Letting out a sigh of relief, as he rubbed the back of his neck.

He'd admit he never expected he'd get such a thrill of adrenaline. Not too sure how he should feel about it. As he hurried back home, quietly closing the door behind him...

Not wanting to wake his mother as he went to his room, letting out a sigh. Glad his mother was likely asleep, there was no doubt about it.

But he knew it happened again... His body- it had moved before he had the time to think. Although he hadn't expected that when he started to run towards the danger that his body would change... He'd no longer be Izuku, except he was- he just looked- different.

He looked in the mirror, one last time- just out of curiosity he changed again.

Where he stood, instead of the boy he was so used to seeing... Was a smaller All Might, skinny, shadow eyed.. Clothes a size to big. As he grazed his hand across the near skeletal face of his idol...

      His  idol?..

The thought made him pause as he felt his face nearly twitch. His idol wouldn't have told him his dream was unachievable...

That wasn't someone he should idolise.. As he turned back his hand falling to his side. A tear falling from his cheek.

'All Might...' He thought, 'why did I see you as my idol?..'
