In a world where the super powered or "quirked" rule a majority of the planet, the 20% left without powers are looked down upon and treated less than human. This can be said for a 5 year old boy with greenish black hair running from a trio of bullies. One of which was his former "best friend," a boy with spiky, ash blonde hair by the name of Bakugo Katsuki.
"Get back here, Deku! I'm not done with you yet!" he shouted as he ran after Izuku.
Izuku didn't listen and keep running when he approached a intersection of traffic with the light about to change. He needed to run faster, he needed to make it past the traffic, and get to the safety of his home. The sign of the crosswalk was down to 3 seconds as Izuku was closing in, it didn't look like he would make it until,
"I have to make it, I gotta make it!" he said as he ran to the crosswalk as the time was now down to one second as he reached the edge. And with a mighty yell, Izuku screamed, "PLEASE LET ME MAKE IT!"
In that instant, the world around Izuku seemed to crack and change into multiple colors as he continued to run. He stopped for a second as the world returned to normal, he looks around and sees he's on the other side of the crosswalk and the cars were driving by. Izuku was shocked and looked around, wondering what just happened. He then came to the only logical explanation as he look at his hands.
"Was that...my quirk?" Izuku asked with a mix of shock and excitement. The thing that he lacked, made him stand out, and caused him pain for over a year was now in his possession. He would've celebrated if it wasn't for the bullies that were waiting for the traffic to die down. Izuku then ran home to tell his mother the good news and as he ran, he got in practice on using it. When he arrived, Izuku saw his mom sitting on the couch watching tv and ran to her.
"Mom!" he said as he hugged by leg.
"Oh, welcome home, Izuku. You seem to be in a great mood." Inko said as she picked him up and hugged him.
"I'm in a great mood, I unlocked my quirk today!" Izuku said with a smile.
Inko was surprised by this and asked, "Really and what is it?"
"I tried it out on the way home and came up with a theory on what it is." he said as he continues. "I call it "Time Jump," it lets me move forward in time. The reason why I know is because I passed by a runner in the park and asked to borrow his timer."
"Really?" Inko asked.
"Yeah, I learned that my limit is 0.5 seconds but if I use it too much, it puts a strain on my body." said Izuku.
"Oh my!" Inko said as she places a hand over her mouth.
"But what's important, I can do it! I can make my dream come true!" he said as he hugged his mother.
Though the payback for his quirk worried her, Inko was happy for her son to finally have what she thought she failed to give him. She hugged him back as he visuallize his future, a future where he is a great hero.
