A/N: Another long one, Enjoy

"Dad... I think I wanna be a Hero!"

A kid of assuming 5 years old said with a huge grin, however his face was blurred by a black mist

His infantile voice reached a man whose face was also blurred by an even bigger mist

"Hm? You do? Why is that?"

He said in a gruff but caring voice, though insecurity was clear on his tone

"Um... they're cool!"

Before his simple answer the man chuckled lowly and walked towards the way shorter kid and ruffled his hair

"It's need to be something else, just because they're cool isn't enough to be one"

The kid hummed with doubt and thought about it

"I just.... want to be able to help people and be someone who they can trust. I don't like staying still without being capable of doing nothing, you know since I am Quirkless"

For a kid of his age he surely knew how to talk above his age, possibly because he read a lot

The tall man knelt in front of him, even if his face wasn't visible a smile on his face could be felt

"You don't need to be a Hero to help people, you just need some good ideals. If I am truthfully honest, I don't want you to enter in such toxic category"

Kid's shoulder fell with clear sadness but the older man reassured him

"You previously said you want to help people, for that you don't need to be labeled as a Hero, these Heroes don't help, they just are selfish people who seek wealth and false recognition. I want you to he better than that. Help people... but don't stick to the current society rules, you're better than that. Help others with disinterest"

The younger figure seemed a little more happy and gleeful but soon again it faded replaced by sadness

"But.... I am Quirkless"

In response the man chuckled and rested his hands on the younger's shoulders

"Being Quirkless isn't a problem to worry about when I am Here"

"What do you mean by that?"

He chuckled lowly

"You'll get it soon enough, Son"

...

Y/N opened his eyes abruptly as drop of sweat fell down his forehead

He was panting as a headache attacked him making the boy grab his hair in a futile try to relieve it

Sighing he thought about that dream... However it didn't felt like one, more like a memory or something

It felt like he had been there and that man felt so familiar, though he didn't had a clue of who was that person

Trying to clear his mind he blinked multiple time trying to adapt his eyes to the sunlight that passed through the window of the hospital

Y/N tried to sit up but a weight stopped him from doing

Humming in curiosity he looked down to be marveled before the sight
