Prologue: Origin
Emerald eyes looked up at a smooth, white ceiling he was all too familiar with. He felt a heavyweight wrapped around his waist and warmth coating his body. Drawing closer to the warmth. Not wanting to leave the bed to step out in the coldness belonging to the early morning darkness. A chuckle came from the body he was up against. This one cause the emerald one to smile before looking up to spot dark crimson irises full of mirth. The arm around the lean body tightens to draw him closer. Meshing their bodies together as if they were one. A moan escaped plump pink lips as eyelids drooped. Shadowing the eyes until they only slim slits. Showing a part of those beautiful emeralds darkening. Another hand was able to shift under the weight of the smaller body to reach curly green locks. Weaving fingers into soft strands. Face inching closer to the mouth to only swiftly bypass it. Settling for warmth breath against the smaller ear to speak softly, "Time for us to start a new day love."
The crimson eyed teen quickly released his hold from the greenette to toss the sheet aside. Then jumping out of the bed to race into the bathroom. Izuku pouted before burying his face into the plush pillow under his head. Waiting for his turn in the bathroom. He didn't want to go to school. Just wanting to spend the day in bed with his love. Sadly, it was not meant to be. No matter the circumstances they were in or the reasons as why he shouldn't attend middle school. But a life is a life. One both teens had to keep up. Shifting his head on the pillow so his chin rested on the fluffy thing. Breathing in deeply before letting him.

All men are not created equal. This was the reality I learned at the young age of four. And that was my first and last setback. Until one day, he told me: "Dreams can become reality. You can be a hero!" This is how my life had changed. For the better and for the worst.
Ȣ
Izuku sighed as he walked over to the koi pond in front of Aldera Junior High. That Bakugo Katsuki was really something. Yes, the boy was his childhood friend, but this was taking it to far. Using his explosion quirk to blow up his book before tossing it out the window. All because he was pompous little prick and he felt threaten when that stupid ass of a teacher announced Izuku was also applying for Yūei. It didn't help the teen had been praised for his strong quirk since it first manifested. Garnering a superiority complex and a short temper. It wasn't all to surprising at this point. Katsuki had always been this way since he first developed his quirk explosion. Becoming nothing more than a bully just because his quirk was powerful for such a young boy. Taunting and hurting the other children in the neighborhood with the group of his so-called friends. Focusing on Izuku more than anything because Katsuki believed he was quirkless. At least that what the pale blond boy thought anyway. Izuku grinned at that thought as finally reached the pond. Knowing his friend will never know the truth behind his lies. Going into the pool, soaking his shoes and the edges of his black pants in the cool water, to pick up a water-logged notebook. The liquid sloshed around as he stepped out. This is when an amused voiced made itself known, "Do you want me to punch him in the face?"
Izuku hummed before answering, "No, he's a waste of your skill and energy. Anyway, if you're here then we must have a mission."
Turning to the person who he was talking as he shook the remnants of water from the book. Seeing a lanky, tall, white-haired teen with crimson eyes shining brightly with amusement and a happy grin plastered on his face. The glow shinning though to make Izuku feel its warmth. Opening the large yellow bag to shove the wet item inside before closing it.
"Well, I do but you don't. Just came to tell you that we are meeting with Barrel Stock and Glock tomorrow afternoon when school is over," the taller, muscular teen stated as walked over to his now pouting friend. Grin growing wider with each step he took before reaching the shorter boy. Wrapping his arms around Izuku waist to draw him closer, "Now my little one, I believe we are above such pouting."
"Na, Adheesha, must you be like this?"
"With you, yes," he said as the grip tightens, "But I must be off!"
As suddenly as he was there the teen was gone. The warmth and weight now gone in a flash. Midoriya sighed then huffed in mock anger. Hating when Adheesha used that quirk to leave quickly. Izuku left the school grounds in the mock huff like he usually would after dealing with the boy with anger issues. Maybe he could convince Adheesha to allow them to do something with the shitting teachers here after they graduate. They never did help curb Bakugo bullying habits. Especially when he would target both Adheesha and Izuku. Izuku for his 'quirkless' nature and Adheesha for sticking by him. Being his only friend within the school. Izuku gave another sigh. He was thinking far too much about the boy when all of it didn't really matter to him. He apparently made it farther than he expected on his way home as he walked under a bridge that was along his route.
He felt the air around him change suddenly. Eyes narrowing as he continued to walk in a slow pace. Someone was behind him, but he didn't know who. The person was clinging to the shadows of the bridge. Slinking in them as they followed. Until several tendrils shot out in the attempt to grab him. Izuku jumped forward and dodged a few of them but one was still able to latch onto his torso to drag him into the waiting arms of more the evergreen goo. This thick substance began to laugh darkly as large teeth and big round, yellow eyes pultruded from a bulbous extension, "You are perfect for the dilemma I am in."
Izuku growled at this monstrosity as he tried to break free. This only made the sludge laugh some more. Izuku cursed his luck for not bringing any of his weaponry today, but they would hardly help him in this situation anyway. Pulling against the slime to stretch several of the arms out to thin them to find himself tugged back into the mass. The sludge cradling his body as some of it pried open the mouth to fill the warm and wet cavern up, "Don't worry. I'm just hijacking your body for a moment. So, calm down, it will only hurt for about 45 seconds… then it'll be all over…"
The middle schooler felt like he was chocking under the pressure of the sludge. Choking and straining against the confines. Feeling the slime worm its way down his throat in the effort to make the body a meat puppet. He would not die like this today. Not after all the years of torture he had been through. After all the things he been through with Adheesha. Closing his eyes when he started to see darkness crowd his vision. Wanting to deny the facts surrounding this event that he was going to die by the hands of a low-level villain that wouldn't even be on their list. But here he was, fighting against the liquefied person so he could survive for another day. As quickly as this sensation came, it vanished in a sudden and powerful whirlwind when deep voice called out nearby, "Texas Smash!"
The wind threw the slime man backwards as he was yanked off the boy. The same could be said of Izuku but he was thrown into a different spot than the villain. Quickly scrambling off his butt to get on his to knees to begin coughing up a fit. Purging any more of the villain that remained inside his body. Wanting the violation of personal space and body to be removed as fast as possible. Once gone did he look up to have his vision be filled in by the evening light silhouetting a muscle-bound man. Eyes widening when he realized who the man was as he proudly states to him, "Don't worry! I am here!"
The blond man walked passed him to scoop up the villain into a couple of empty soda bottles. Izuku felt some form of glee that the sludge man was degraded in such a way. Being imprisoned into some cheap plastic bottles instead of the high-end containment units the police tend to have. Turning back to Izuku did the number one hero finally did speak, "How are feeling?"
"Fine as I can be All Might!" Izuku answered excitedly. Out of everything in his life, meeting this man was one of few things that got him excited. Being one of few heroes he fawned over and got him through the day since he was young. Especially, when it was believed, and told, he was quirkless around the age of four. Only to proven wrong he guessed but it didn't change what he wanted to ask the popular and powerful hero. Seeing him start to walk pass him as the blond spoke, "Good, now run along home. I have to get this guy to the police."
All Might said as he patted the soda bottles in his pocket. Ready to set off in a massive leap to be stopped when the green headed teen called out, "Wait!"
Not knowing what compelled him to turn around to the boy but the hero did. Blue iris under darken eyes looking at the nervous teen. That it appeared like to Toshinori. Jaw clutching tightly as he trembled. Straightening up as he looked down at him to ask, "What is it, my boy?"
"Do you-," Izuku trembling stopped and voice unsteady, "Do you believe someone who's quirkless can be a hero?! I am a normal kid without powers! Can I hope to be someone just like you?! People believe I don't have a chance. That not having any powers make me a weakling. My classmates like to make fun of me. But you know what… That make me wants to prove them wrong. Ever since I was a kid, I thought saving people was the coolest thing you can ever do. I want to people to see my fearless smile and feel safe. And be the kind of hero people looks up to. Just like you!"
Eyes shot up to the man in a defiant and hopeful look. The stare and questioned surprised All Might as it brought up memories of a past. Ones he wished to forget. All he could do was stare back at the boy as thought of a retort. Although time was limited for him. Which it seemed to remind him in that moment when a jolt of pain ran through his side. Causing the number one hero to cough up some blood. There was no time to answer. Turning back around away to launch himself into the air.
Away from the child who asked him the question. It was mid-way through one of his leaps did Toshinori noticed something latched on his leg when he was high into the air. Gazing down to see the teen he just saved wrapped around it screaming his head off. All Might sighed as he changed his directory to land safely on top of an empty roof top. Pulling the greenette off his leg and got him standing up straight. Izuku eyes were shut tightly before they opened to the man now coughing. The younger eyes widen when he sees blood spitting out from the hero before a sudden plume of smoke engulfed the taller man. The screen of smoke soon vanished to reveal a skinner and emaciated man in front of the teen. Face gaunt that made his beautiful illuminating eyes seem to sink even further in. Arms and body skinny as a skeleton as the clothes he wore hung loosely on the blond frame. Izuku could only gap at the man in shock. He and his team heard the rumors of what happened to All Might about five years ago but here was the proof. The grainy photos and video snippets were no longer needed for proof of the state of the hero. The battle they were able to hear through the whispers and murmurings seemed to be true. No matter how much you try to hide there still be eyes who see some form of the action. At least the chance to ask what happened had fallen into Izuku lap, "All Might…? What happened to you?"
Midoriya took a tentative step towards the man before him as blood dripped down his chin. Another cough and more blood slipped out. Izuku was now a little worried about the man before him. It brought forth images of his friends whenever they come around injured or worse. A boney hand from the man rose to halt any more steps from the younger person. Collapsing on the ground against the roof top railing as another cough breech his lips before saying, "A lot of things happened to me but not so more than this. I am counting on you on keeping your mouth shut. So, don't go leaking this on the internet or telling your friends."
Raising up his shirt to show a large purple bruise with lines sprawling out from the wound. It looked as if the wound was collapsing on itself, "Pretty gross right? I got this in a big fight five years back. My respiratory system is basically destroyed, and I lost my whole stomach. All the surgeries have pretty much worn me out. I can't be fixed. Right now, all I can do hero work is about three hours a day. The rest of the time I look like this."
"No way! Five years ago?! Your fight against Toxic Chainsaw?"
"Wow, you really know your stuff. No, the punk might have put in a few good hits, but he couldn't bring me down," Toshinori started to get up from the ground, "Most of the world hasn't heard of this fight. I did everything I could to keep it under wraps. I am supposed to be the guy who's always smiling, right? I am the symbol of peace. People everywhere has to think that I am never afraid."
A hand reaches out from his side to clutch into a fist, "But honestly, I smile to hide the fear inside. Its just a brave face I put on when the pressure is high. This job isn't easy. Pro-heroes are always risking their lives. Some villains just can't be beaten without powers. So, honestly, I don't think you can be a hero without a quirk."
A shock look overcame Izuku that left him momentarily speechless. One of the few times he shown emotion. Not believing the man would be so brutal in his words to a fan. One the few ties he kept in his life to keep him grounded. Izuku looked at the ground as spoke in a shaken manner, "I-I see."
"If you want to help people. There are other ways you can. You can become a Police Officer. They get crap because heroes catch most of the villains but it's a fine profession," All Might went over to the metal door and opened it. Stopping at the door to say one more thing, "Its not bad to have a dream, young man. Just… make sure your dreams are attainable and realistic. Understand?"
With that the blond man walked through the threshold of the rooftop doorway and closing the metal door behind them. Leaving the greenette behind in his depressed state to think of the words spoken to him. That was until an explosion in the distance brought him out of his reprieve. Looking over to where it came from to see a huge plume of gray smoke rising. He ran over to the door to only be halted by All Might's words ringing out through his head. Pursing his lips together before walking out off the roof top.
Ȣ
Izuku walked down the streets looking at the burnt book he was able to retrieve. Thinking over what the number hero said. He let the man said earlier get to him. Having worked far to hard at his job to let those words crush him. Plus, All Might thought he was speaking to a quirkless boy and not what he truly was. A loud crash brought out of his thoughts to look over to alleyway with two large signs connecting the walls, 'That's strange… The fight from earlier still going on. Why am I even here? Did I subconsciously walk this way to check it out? All my notes or analytical work would be useless here.'
Going over to the crowd to check it out further to get a shock. It was the sludge quirk user from before. Eyes widening when realized what could have gone wrong, 'Fuck! When I grabbed hold of the hero, I must have caused the bottles to fall out. This is all my fault this happening! Rookie moves are really spilling out of me today.'
Izuku hears the whispers and murmuring coming from the crowd. The villain had taken a hostage. A teenager from what he could hear. Damnit, these heroes were doing nothing to help the hostage. Blaming that their quirks weren't compatible for defeating this type of person. It shouldn't matter. A person should be able to make your quirk useful in almost anyway possible. Powerhouses can contain, while the likes of Kamui Woods could pull the person out with the aid of Mount Lady. Gazing back at the man made of goo to see familiar pale blond hair and painful eyes. Suddenly, his body moved to rush pass the heroes. Ignoring their screams and yells that came from them. Eyes narrowed as experience and speed took over. Quickly taking the bag off to use his momentum to take a quick spin then tossing it at the man. Aiming for the eye to make him flinch. The sludge cried out as some of his hold was released on his hostage. Allowing Katsuki to take in deep breaths in before yelling out, "Deku! What are you doing here!"
"Will you shut up for once in your life?! I went with my instincts to save your pathetic ass and you want to question me," Midoriya growled back as he shoveled some of the slime away. Izuku knew the truth. Seeing the pained expression on his face. The one he seen to often of those asking for help. Those who were on the brink of death, which made him say proudly, "Plus, I couldn't sit back and watch you die, Kaa-chan!"
A certain blond man eyes widen in shock as he hears that statement. Like when he saw the young teenager run into danger. The sludge villain recovered faster than Izuku anticipated when the eyes reappeared and large arm rose up. Ready to slam into him. Midoriya jumped back as he hears the heroes yell something again. To be stopped when a large explosion happened. When the smoke and fire cleared did someone speak, "I really am pathetic. I told you the traits to make a great champion, but I see now I wasn't living up to my own ideal."
Viewing up to see that All Might had saved him again. Izuku couldn't help but give a snarky like smile that he was saved again by this man. Especially when he continued his speech as he grabbed his friend arm and pulled him out from the villain, "Pros are always risking their lives! That's a true trait of a hero!"
"Damn you All Might!" yelled the sludge man as another arm reared up to slam downward at the hero. To only be blown away when threw a punch to scream out, "Detroit Smash!"
Causing a whirlwind to whip around the alleyway and sludge to fly. Heroes big and small protected the people from the harsh wind until it finally died down. Everyone looked on in shock at the man and scene before them. Wet droplets got many to set their gazes to the sky to see a large hole and swirling, dark clouds above. The weather had changed from All Might attack. And much like the attack, the event afterwards was a whirlwind. From the police collecting the villain, Katsuki of course being praised for his bravery, while Izuku was chewed out by the heroes for rushing in. Not like they were doing much. It took a quirkless teen and injured man to take the crook out. All Might was of course was dealing with the press. Not surprising when there was an event of heroism with him in it. The teen sighed as he left the scene when the fools were done with him to head home. Taking the back alleys to avoid any interlopers and annoying press people that wanted more information about the event. Of course, he was still found by Bakugo to be screamed at about not needing a 'Quirkless Nobody' to help or save him. For him to turn around angrily and march off in a huff. Izuku just smiled as he thought, 'He's never going to change. Not that I am surprised.'
Going back to the path he was walking down to be halted again with All Might sliding out of the alleyway he was about to pass by with a, "I am here!"
Izuku jumped back out of instinct. Ready to pull out anything that he could use a weapon but calmed down when he realized who it was. Izuku brightens to excitably say, "All Might! Why are you here? How did you get rid of all those reporters?"
The greenette nervously scans around to make sure no one else was around. The questioning only got the man to laugh, "I only stand for justice! Not sound bites!
All might flex his muscles, "Because, I am All Might-."
A plume of smoke appears to interrupt his speech with more blood being coughed out in his skinny form. Yagi wiped away some of the blood from his mouth. "Young man, I came here to thank you. And to discuss your question from earlier. If you hadn't told me about your life. If you hadn't run into that fight. I would have been a worthless bystander watching from the crowd. So, thanks."
"What! No, it was my fault he was there to begin with. I got in the way of your hard work," the teen spoke solemnly as he turned away from his hero, "I wasted your energy and... not mention your time."
"I'm not done. You told me you didn't have a power… So, when I saw this timid, quirkless boy try to save a life. It inspired me to act to…," this caused the Izuku to look at the man in surprised when he heard those words, "There are stories about every hero. How they became great… Most have one thing in common. Their bodies move before they had a chance to think. Almost on their own."
Tears began to swell in Izuku eyes. It was bringing forth memories of his past. During the time around the time he was deemed quirkless. The time around the incident that became what he is now. An event that awoken something inside him and changed his friend Adheesha. Hearing words that his only friend told once before and keeps telling him. But this was different. The sound of his mother voice haunting his head.
"And today that is what happen to you."
Tears were threatening to spill as more swelled. Eyes screwed shut as he bowed down. Emotions were getting the better of him. Wishing he could hear these words coming his mother instead of his friends and this man. A stranger and hero. Izuku fell on his knees as those hot tears streamed down.
"Young man… You to can become a hero."
He was now sobbing as his tears stained the concrete.
Dreams can become reality…
On top of the roof a house a lone person wearing a special, skin tight outfit with a helmet. The outfit was like that of a cat suit, but it was inlayed was designs in the one-piece suit. Specialized combat boots blending into the suit while the helmet was akin to a motorcycle helmet. But it was shaped into one of a bird head. On either side of the helmet was the symbol of a plum colored bird with wings outstretched. A utility belt hugged man waist tightly so it wouldn't slip off easily. This person was viewing the scene with interest. Pleased with the turn of events. Being reminded of the mission given to them about the man. Since the mission doesn't officially start until he either finds a successor or school term starts. The man vanishing from view before being spotted by anyone.
