Prologue

Welcome everybody! I arrived with a new story of BNHA called 'All in the Cards'. So, this is the thing; I started to play LoL again and I couldn't help but to write a story with Izuku with the abilities of one of my favorite champions. You probably already guessed by the title but it is Twisted Fate. If you don't know about the character or game, I hope you still enjoy the story. And now, some important details:

Izuku won't get OFA.

Pairing is undecided.

Izuku won't be either a hero or a villain.

More LoL characters will appear.

And now that everything is clear, let's go to the story!

Legend:

"Talking."

'Thinking...'

Prologue: A Twist in Fate

"Dealer? It sounds lame."

"B-B-But it is cool! That's what mom said!" Izuku said as he fell tears welling up in his eyes. Katsuki and his cronies laughed.

"Suuuuure. Make some cards appear is super cool." One crony said in a mocking way and Katsuki smirked-

"Admit it Deku; your quirk is just like you, useless."

*Midoriya Residence*

"It is okay sweaty. Ignore what they say about you. Your quirk is awesome." Inko Midoriya comforted her son as he cried in her arms. He came crying home and told her what happened at school.

Izuku looked up to her with watery eyes and sobbing a little "Y-You think so?"

Inko nodded with a small smile "I do. Hey, why don't you make that trick you showed me before?" Izuku nodded with a watery smile. He put his palms together before opening them upwards and downwards as cards came out from each hand.

Inko smiled and clapped her hands "See? You can do cool stuff." Izuku smile widened as he nodded "Just ignore the mean things they said about you. You are cool and I know it."

Izuku nodded with all sadness gone. That moment of mother and son lasted short due to the sound of something tapping outside the door. Izuku started to look fearful and Inko frowned. "Izuku, dear; go to your room."

Izuku nodded and went to the direction where his room was but hid behind the wall to see what happens. The door was opened by an annoyed Hisashi Midoriya.

"You are early today." Inko said and Hisashi clicked his tongue.

"I came for some money. I am going to hit the bar after this." Hisashi said as he looked at Izuku peeking behind a wall.

"Hey champ. Come and give daddy a hug." Hisashi said as he bent down on one knee and opened his arms. Izuku hesitantly went closer and got next to the man that hugged him.

"So, how was your day today?"

"Some kids were mean to me. They said my quirk was useless and lame." Izuku said and Hisashi scoffed.

"They know shit then. Your quirk would be great to make money."

"Hisashi!" Inko screamed angry on what her husband was implying.

"What? I was just saying something." Hisashi said giving Inko an annoyed look while Izuku got confused.

"Money? How can I get money?" Hisashi grinned at the question.

"Whatcha say if I show ya. Tonight champ, you're coming with daddy." Izuku gulped and Inko frowned as she had enough.

"No, he is not! I forbid you to take our kid to that run-down bar you go!" Inko demanded and Hisashi glared at her.

"Shut up woman! No one asked ya! What you say champ. Wanna come?" He asked with a smirk to Izuku that looked to his feet.

"I don't know..."

"C'mon! Help your pops with this one. If ya don't like it, I won't bother ya again with this." Izuku gulped as he nodded. Hisashi grinned as he took Izuku's hand and dragged him out of the house leaving Inko in the verge of tears, because of what could happen to her son now.

*Queen Ane Bar*

Izuku was sat on the bar stool, watching as how his drunk father slam the table with his fist and cursed. Probably because he lost in poker.

Again.

His father explained to him the basics about the game. The Texas Hold 'Em version of it. And for what he was seeing, he was losing.

"You know someone there?" He heard a voice behind him and turned around to see the mist-man that had been serving him juice all this time.

Izuku nodded "Hm. My dad is there." The mist-man nodded and looked at the table.

"I see. Let me guess, you are Hisashi's son?"

"Yes?" Izuku answered not sure on where this was going. This mist-man was scary and maybe he is angry with his dad. Mom is usually angry with him.

"So, you are Izuku. Hisashi talks a lot about you. I am Kurogiri by the way." Kurogiri introduced himself and Izuku nodded.

"Dad talks about me?"

Kurogiri nodded as he cleaned a glass "That's right. He cares a lot, always talking about how proud he is of you." Izuku smiled but was interrupted out of his thought by a 'Goddammit!' of his dad.

He gulped as he got off the stool. Kurogiri looked at him curious. "Where are you going?"

"I-I am going to help him. Maybe I can win." Izuku said as he got close to the table.

He tugged on his dad shirt and the man looked at him "Wha? Hey-Hey champ, how you doin'?" The Hisashi asked clearly drunk and Izuku steeled himself before speaking.

"C-Can I try?" Hisashi raised a brow. "I know how to play and-and maybe I can win?" He said a little unsure and Hisashi grinned.

"Sure champ. Knock yourself out! Here! Have some money." Hisashi handed him some money to gamble. Izuku sat on the chair and the three men playing laughed.

"This drunk idiot is letting his brat to play!"

"This is gonna be easy."

"I doubt he have to many luck or brains. Just like papa."

The men laughed at their puns as one started to give the cards. One of them started to hand out some cards. Izuku received his two cards and looked at them.

A 2 of hearts and a 5 of diamonds.

His dad gave him 5000 yens (A/N: 44 dolars) to gamble and he already have bad cards. But then, an idea hit him.

He knows the rules of the game. And this people have a lot of money for what he heard. And he has a quirk that can create cards. What if he can change them?

That would be cheating but... dad is proud of him. He can make him feel even prouder by winning money for them. He heard his dad say once, that it doesn't matter how you win money, as you get it.

He his hands under the table and put the two cards between his palms. He focused and then after some seconds he looked back at the cards. They looked the same but with one difference.

Now there were a pair of A one of spades and one of hearts.

"Oi, brat!" His attention turned to the men that were looking at him. "You bet or pass? We are at 1500 yen (A/N: 13 dolars)"

Izuku nodded as he got an idea. He just hopes that these men are idiots.

"I go all in." Izuku said throwing all the money at the table. The men laughed.

"What a moron! Just like his old man! Y'know brat!? I'll play. All my money is in play!"

"Yeah! I'll go too!"

"You two are idiots. But here we go."

Izuku grinned. His plan was working. Then they started to turn the 5 cards on the table.

3.

10.

5.

King.

7.

Two of them threw their cards to the table while groaning and cursing. The other grinned as he showed his cards. He had a 4 and a king.

"Pair of kings boys. I'll be taking this." The man said as he stretched his arms to pick up his gains when Izuku spoke.

"Pair of A. I win." Izuku said as Hisashi jumped of joy while screaming. They grabbed the money and left the bar.

"T-That was awesome champ! I always knew you had it!" Hisashi praised as he put the money in his pockets. They were walking back home and it was dark already.

Izuku blushed "R-Really?"

Hisashi grinned "Yeah! I am so proud of ya right now!"

Izuku smiled as he made a decision that will shape the rest of his life.

*One Year Later*

"Izuku, you know why are you here?" the director asked Izuku that was sat in front of him.

"Maybe." Izuku said as he was shuffling some cards. The director sighed.

"You're here for injuring one of your classmates. Mind explaining yourself?"

Izuku gave him a dry look "Look, the guy is and was acting like a bastard. So, by sending him down I am actually doing you guys a favor. And besides, I am not charging ya for it."

The director narrowed his eyes at him "That is not a way to act here young man. I am afraid I'll have to talk with your parents. Also, you are suspended."

Izuku clicked his tongue as he left "Look how much I care."

Izuku went back home. He could go to the bar to gamble, but it is too early and not many people go at this hour.

When he was getting close, he started to hear sirens. He got closer and he saw a crowd and police cars. When he arrived he saw to paramedics, carrying a body covered by a blanket and two officers carrying his unconscious dad.

Izuku went to the officers "Hey! What are ya doing to my dad!?" He demanded and the officers looked at him with pity.

"Look kid, this is going to be hard but..." He listened but didn't want to believe it. They told him his dad murdered his mom. Someone grabbed his hand and told him that they were going to take him to a new house. He bit the hand and ran. He ran and ran away of these people. Away from there screams.

When he was sure they were far away he rested against a wall. He hugged his knees and started to think.

'And now what?'

Then he got an idea. He is smart. He is good at playing card games. And he is good gaining money playing them. He doesn't win clean, but he never losses either.

He saw that a pair was going to pass and he stood up. He dusted off his clothes, closed his hand into a fist before opening revealing a card, and took a relaxing breath. The pair crossed in front of him and he started his new life.

"Excuse me sir, ma'am; do any of you two feel like gambling?"

And done! This was the prologue of 'All in the Cards'. I hope you liked it. And before we finish a couple of things:

Izuku is 7 by the end of this chapter.

His abilities are inspired on Twisted Fate, they are not the same.

Izuku grabbed habits from his dad, Kurogiri and drunk people at the bar.

His quirk is like Momo's, only that it can create cards. You'll see how it can work in future chapters.
