World Domination

So, my friend, Yuichi, how is it going with your side? I got my slaves in UA, and a huge fortress!”

“I got a grumpy successor, a mad doctor, an uber, and a cute son!”

“You adopted one? I thought you already got a successor-”

“Nah, Tomura is different from my baby scales”

“Hm? How so?”

“Tomura is grumpy, childish, eh, that list can go on forever. But I just met baby scales today, he was trying to die so… Yeah, I was adopting him.”

“I still wouldn’t believe that the All For One one of my staff is telling me about is my friend and adopted my son! What an interesting turn of events!”

“Baby scales said that too, he knew my identity by the way.”

“Oh? What’s his name and quirk?”

“His name is Midoriya Izuku…”

Then, Yuichi (All For One) went on and explained what happened to his baby scales while petting the sleep Izuku in his arms. On the other side, it was pretty hard to tell Nezu’s emotions for normal people, but for the supervillain who knew him for more than 50 years, it was easy to tell that Nezu was fuming. Maybe because of the similar past of getting locked up, he can relate.

“Can you tell me their names? I would like to plan a murder, an arson, and so on!”

“Sure! I will!”

Both said with a fake cheerful tone and ended the call. It was obvious that they were both furious about what happened to their baby scales (and cub, for Nezu’s case).

Putting down his phone, he sighed heavily as he controlled his anger, not wanting to accidentally hurt the child in front of him. Activating his teleportation quirk again, he carefully slipped into the black substances without making Izuku uncomfortable. Appearing at his office, he walked towards his office chair and table with stacks of paperwork to do.

The paper works are all about his legal companies all around the world. Since he is planning for world domination, he thought he needed a good and big global reputation. That way, it would be easier to control the economy later in the future.

However, the tiring thing is to manage a lot of big companies together at once. The amount of paperwork he needed to do is astronomical. Sighing again, he sat down on the chair and set Izuku on his lap. Snapping his fingers, his mask disappeared and his outfit changed completely and instantly - from a normal businessman-like black suit into a normal T-shirt. Putting the boy’s legs around his waist, head on his chest, he let the boy straddle him. He then felt weight against his chest as he looked down and saw Izuku nuzzling into it. Smiling contentedly at his newly adopted baby dragon, he put his hands on the table and started typing while putting his chin on the boy’s head, giving warmth to both of them.

I should make more pet names other than baby scales and baby dragons… Maybe Hatchling? Dragons do hatch from eggs after all… Yeah, that’s a good one. Ah, Nestling, dragons do live in nests after all, maybe I should make a pillow nest for Izuku.

Fondly snapping out of his thoughts full of pet names for his baby scales, he focused on working on the paperwork and stared at them, as if they personally offended him. (honestly i did the same to homework so I can relate.)

Typing on the keyboard, he activated his multitasking quirk and his limb growing quirk. Extra limbs grew out of his specially made T-shirt. After pressing a button on the desk, several monitors appeared beside the main monitor.

Now to do all these things at once, how I wish I have Nezu’s quirk.

Making the deepest sigh in his life, he started to do the paperwork, hoping that when he finished it, he could dote on his dragon son more.

The first thing Izuku felt after waking up was warmth and comfort, a feeling that he barely experienced when his mom’s best friend Aunty Mitsuki visited once when he was small. It was like a fluffy, warm, invisible blanket wrapping around Izuku, keeping him safe. Already started to get addicted to the feeling, he snuggled into the warmth more, not noticing the typing noise stopped.

“Hey, nestling! Glad to see you awake!”

A large, rough hand caressed his cheeks as his eyes fluttered open. Looking up to the person who spoke, he saw a handsome looking man with white hair. He was confused and scared for a tiny bit of a second, but then memories overwhelmed his head.

Right, I got ‘adopted’ by All For One.

“Good morning I guess…”

Izuku spread his arms and yawned, earning an ‘Aww’ from the supervillain. Rubbing his eyes, he realized himself straddling against the villain. Not wanting to offend the villain, he quickly tried to get away from it but only to get stopped by the large hand.

“It’s okay, you can hug me or straddle me or whatever you want.”

The villain said in a comforting voice as Izuku got back to his position. Still confused and unsure of what was happening, he asked some questions.

“Um, Mr. All For One, what should I call you? Big dragon? Big scales? Or dad?”

“Dad of course if you are comfortable with it!”

“Okay… then…”

Even though Izuku didn’t show any fear, he was unsure if he should call the man ‘Dad’ or not. Don’t get him wrong, he would love to get a dad that cares for him, but no one loves him, right? Why would anyone love someone useless like him? No one. So is it really okay for him to call him dad?

“Is it okay, really, is it okay for me to call you dad? I’m useless or anything, I would just be a burden to yo-”

“Shh, baby scales, shh..”

The supervillain said in a soothing voice, then put his fingers on Izuku’s lips, gently telling him to stop talking.

“You are far from a useless hatchling, and you deserve love if that’s what you are thinking. It’s okay for you to be loved, everyone deserves it, except for your stupid parents of course, but would you tell me their names? I would love to have a nice talk with them, maybe torture him while at it.”

Izuku was shocked, he has never been loved before. Sure, Aunty Mitsuki did, but it was only a one time thing since he hadn't seen the blonde woman for almost 10 years already, not because she didn’t want to see him, but because his parents always found an excuse for her not to come. All he remembered is that she had blonde hair and loved him, but that doesn’t count.

Now, this is the first time, at least in his memories, cared for him, and will kill for him. He thought he didn’t deserve love because he was useless, but All For On- dad wouldn’t lie to him right? Maybe he doesn’t, but he wants to believe that someone loves him.

“If it’s okay with you then… Dad…”

Somehow, it’s embarrassing for Izuku to say that word, probably because of how seldom he uses the word ‘dad’ (or not use it at all). The boy could only blush and hide his face his new dad’s chest like he doesn’t exist in this world, and he swore he heard dad muttering “yes!”

“I appreciate the compliments but… how exactly am I useful?”

“Baby scales, if you are really useless, scumbags like him would already abandon you, not locking you up like some sort of goldmine. Also, just to confirm, can you show me your analysis? I need to adjust my world domination plan and include you in it.”

“Wait, me? I thought you were just joking when you said world domination, that sounded like a childish dream.”

“You wound me Nestling!”

Yuichi pouted and made a fake hurt expression to joke around, but looking down, he saw Izuku with a guilty face.

“Sorry…”

“Oh it’s okay, I was just joking, don’t worry.”

“Okay then…”

“Good! Now, I will show you a random Hero vs Villain fight, I want to see how you analyze! Do you need a pen and paper?”

“I prefer notebook and pencil.”

“Right.”

Snapping his fingers, a pencil and notebook appeared with rubber in Yuichi’s hands. Izuku has gotten used to his dad’s quirk usage in various situations, which he enjoys watching.

“Here, baby scales, try.”

Nodding, Izuku picked up the pencil and place the notebook on the desk, waiting for further instructions.

“Right…” Searching through a file, Yuichi clicked one of them and it opened. From the looks of the first frame, it looked like a video of a fight between a hero and a villain. “There you go.”

The video played without warning, probably because of his dad’s excitement. Not wanting to disappoint him as he did with his so called parents, he focused his emerald eyes on the monitor. All For One rested his chin on his head and hands around his waist, it made Izuku feel warmth again, so he didn’t resist.

The footage started with a black haired, plain looking female hero. Much to Izuku’s surprise, he doesn't recognize the female hero. He has analyzed almost all of the heroes in the world due to his ‘job’, seeing a new hero was always exciting for him. wearing a tight suit, making her body more attractive, which is a weird costume style to Izuku because it is ineffective, he guessed that it was probably because of publicity - one of the reasons why the society is corrupted. The heroes often wear over sexualized costumes to attract viewers instead of making them practical and able to defend themselves well from attacks.

Back to the video, the hero activated her quirk as her hair grew longer and lashed at the villain. The villain wore a black hoodie covering his head as he stretched out his arms and his palms facing the hero. Suddenly, his eyes glowed red and the long whip-like hair hit the air. Eyes widened, the hero tried to retract her hair but it was immobilized. The villain then moved his hands around as the hair did the same. Realizing, the hero cut her hair before she got thrown around and met the same fate as her hair. Then, she scowled in pain as she grew more hair.

Izuku watched the fight closely as he scribbled on his notebook and mumbled at the same time.

_How can her hair move like that? Does she control it with his mind? How long can the hair extend? How much hair can she make before overusing her quirk? Does it require nutrients or foods to do so? Assuming she stood still with a fighting stance and let her hair do the work, she is probably a long ranged fighter, but she is too reliant on her quirk. _

Moving his attention to the villain, curious to see how the villain would react and respond to the quick attack, he readied himself to scribble anything down on his notebook.

Did his eyes glow? Is that a side effect or the main effect of his quirk? Seeing the hair immobilized and the hero’s shocked face, the villain probably did it. But how? Do his hands have something to do with it? Is it some sort of gravity type quirk? No, even the villain’s hands are moving around, his hands the movement of the hair which is currently controlled by the villain doesn't match. That cancels the possibility of a gravity quirk since a gravity quirk usually focuses on the user’s hands. Maybe a telekinetic quirk? Its most likely in this case. If so, then the movement of his hands is probably a misdirection, making people think that he needed to move his hands to control stuff. Smart.

Eyes darting back to the hero, again, curious to see the hero’s response to her hair not in her control.

_Quick reflexes and thinking, she cuts down the hair before she gets affected as well. Wait, was she in pain? Was that a coincidence or related to her quirk? Is her quirk a mutant quirk that grows nerves on her hair? Or is it because her quirked hair makes her feel pain when it gets cut or damaged? _

The fight went on for a few minutes before it ended quickly. In the end, the villain probably was on his limit and tried to run away, but it was not a smart move as the hero saw the chance and captured the villain with her hair. Overall, it was an average fight at best, despite the amount of potential he saw in the villain’s quirk, he didn’t fight smartly, even with his distracting tactics and a powerful quirk with great control over it, he didn’t utilize his quirk to his fullest. There was so much stuff he could do with his quirk if what Izuku guessed was right. Compressing the air, directly using the hero if the range is enough, if not, he could charge right at her to close the distance, etc.

Yuichi watched proudly as his baby dragon analyzed the video accurately, amazed at the level of analysis Izuku could do, no wonder his parents locked him in his house. Still cuddling, Izuku finished his draft and started to organize his notes on the next page.

After a while, Izuku finished with a sigh, picking up the notebook he gave to Yuchi to see. Much to Yuichi’s surprise, it was completely organized, it was the peak of analysis. He had never seen such high level analysis before, not even from himself. He tried his best to not let his jaw fall into the ground and not let his mouth open to cackle, which he did fortunately suppress, he didn’t want to traumatize his baby dragon with that, not that Izuku would be scared actually, he wanted to die, so… But, he will have to work on that later.

Grinning, he turned to Izuku who was looking down at the floor while fidgeting with his fingers, clearly nervous about the results and expecting a scolding to come.

“Good job baby scales! You did very well! I’m proud of you!”

Yuichi said as the satisfied grin turned into a proud and gentle smile. Running fingers through Izuku’s hair, he made an attempt to try to comfort him, which he succeeded. Watching his dragon son look up with his eyes widened in shock, then later turned into confusion. He felt anger down his stomach, begging to be released. How dare they hurt his child like this? They are so going to pay, and that will be painful. Then, he wondered, he knew the answer, but he still wanted to know what exactly his parents told him for Izuku to be confused at a praise.

“Why are you so confused?”

“Um… As I told you before, they kept saying I am worthless even though I tried my best on my analysis. They seem to never satisfy my parents so I kept trying to improve, of course, not to satisfy them and make them proud, but to earn myself a peaceful afternoon. Though, they still kept calling me useless, worthless, a waste of space, everything. I think it’s because my analysis is the worst, so they said that to me, that I don’t deserve love…”

Izuku then leaned into his dad’s chest and arms more and nuzzled into it.

Removing his hands from Izuku, not wanting to hurt him accidentally, he clenched his fist and gritted his teeth with all the strength he could muster so he wouldn’t take and vent the anger out at Izuku, that would’ve been bad, he doesn’t want to hurt his precious son. Taking a deep breath, he calmed himself down as hard as he could, while he was already running a billion ways to torture his parents after getting his hands on them in his mind.

One thing Yuichi noticed since Izuku got here is his self-degraton and low self-esteem problem. He needed to fix that, and the best way to fix it, is to get praise from others, it would make the person feel good and Yuichi wanted Izuku to know that his dad loved him with all he got. That’s why, at this moment, Yuichi knew what he needed to say.

“You have done a great job, Izuku, I’m really proud of you, I’m not joking at all, I’m not mocking you at all, I’m being completely serious.”

If not the genuine and sincere tone in the supervillain’s voice gave the seriousness out, it was the usage of Izuku’s name. The villain only used it once, if that even counted it as use, as he only repeated Izuku’s name.

“R-really?”

“Yes, baby dragon, yes. Remember what I told you when I gave you your pet name? You will grow into a big dragon and soar above the skies. But, to me, you are still my adorable fledgling, so yes, I am being completely serious.”

That was all Izuku needed to hear, the dam that had been holding Izuku’s emotion and protecting him from getting beaten more by his parents broke. Sure, the dam has cracked and some emotions came in after he got saved by All For One, but it was completely different. Izuku bawled out at All For One’s comment as he turned around and straddle against his dad, tightly hugging him, not wanting to let go from his dad and his comfort.

All For One then instantly hugged back tight protectively. He vowed to himself that day that he would make his parent’s life hell.

Starting with their normal daily lives, income, jobs, relationships, isolation, then finally torture.

Oh, he's going to have so much fun with them.

Today is one of the best days All For One has ever experienced. He normally doesn't express emotions, but with his baby dragon, he couldn't help but do so, he is just - too cute, too pure, and too sad. Therefore, he is having a little celebration about his great day in his brilliant mind right now. Reasons? Successfully catching up the world domination plan with Nezu, adopting an adorable child that he could dote on, planning to torture the said child's abusive parents - everything is great, so he would take what he said in the alley back, because today, or yesterday, was awesome.

He will be sure to include Izuku into his celebration though, what kind of Dragon Dad wouldn’t share their happiness with their child?

He wanted Izuku to be happy, safe, and comfortable when he is around his baby dragon.

He wanted to make sure that Izuku will not be suffering from what he experienced before.

He just wanted to plan world domination with Nezu, but with Izuku, it would be more fun.

After all, Izuku is his precious baby dragon. It’s not like it’s abnormal for one parent to kill for their children, right? Even though his methods won’t be the prettiest ones...
