All men are not created equally that is a given in life. Even more so in a world where everyone has a superpower except 20 percent. Sadly for Izuku Midoriya he was of that 20 percent who were powerless. Denounced quirkless at age 4 he became an outcast. His friends left him, his mother felt sorry for him, and no one else to support him. Years pass and he is constantly bullied for his wanting to be a hero like his idol All Might the number 1 hero.
A/N apologies but i don't feel like writing the scene everyone has already seen so just assume everything that happened up until all might said Izuku cant become a hero happened the same.
All Might had just left the rooftop leaving Izuku alone with his thoughts. Suddenly without warning he fell down and crouched next to the ledge of the building.
"Why?" Izuku sobbed to himself on the rooftop tears creeping out of his eyes crying.
"Why is it that i cant be a hero?" Izuku continues crouched up against the edge of the building holding his legs.
"Am I just that much of a dead weight to society that not even All Might believes I can be a hero!" Izuku screams to himself in his head getting up wiping the tears off his face.
"Why is it that Kacchan gets to be a hero when all he does is torture me!" Izuku says to himself clenching his fists.
"Ill show them. ILL SHOW THEM ALL!" Izuku screams to the sky just barely loud enough for the people below to hear, but pay no mind.
Then Izuku starts chuckling to himself as his hair falls over his face covering his eyes as he hunches over.
"Just wait Kacchan, All Might. Ill be coming back and when I do," Izuku says as his chuckling increases in volume and pace.
"ILL SHOW YOU WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE WEAK!" Izuku screams to the sky again throwing his arms out laughing hysterically.
Suddenly slow clapping is heard from the other side of the building as a figure walks toward Izuku wearing a bright orange overcoat,feathered top hat, and a mask hiding his face.
"Bravo my friend, Bravo, encore encore!" The man says clapping his gloved hand rapidly imitating an audience at a performance.
Izuku just stares at him blankly as the man keeps clapping.
"Splendid performance my friend, and such a wonderful climax." the person says slightly laughing themselves but stop.
"Thanks" is all Izuku says as he just stares dumbfounded someone aside from his mother actually commented him.
"(Fake coughing noises)" The man fake coughs into his fist as he clears his throat.
"I must say that was quite the performance. Such action, such drama, such heartbreak." The person says in a playful tone spinning in place theatrically.
"Get to the point." Izuku says bluntly as the man stops spinning and extends his hand for a handshake.
"Well my young friend I must say I'm touched by your story and have an offer for you." They say as Izuku just stares at them.
"Tough crowd, tough crowd." the person says to themselves withdrawing their hand.
"Get to the point please." Izuku says annoyed sighing.
"Well like I said before I was touched by your story and would like to offer you a position." The person says pulling a card out of their overcoat pocket and tossing it to Izuku who catches it.
"Sako Atsuhiro, traveling magician and stage performer." Izuku mumbles to himself reading the card.
"Exactly my dear friend, Sako Atsuhiro at your service." Sako says pulling out a deck of playing cards from his coat pocket and air shuffling them.
"Pick a card, any card." Sako says gleefully holding the entire deck separated upside down.
"Ok?" Izuku says confused but nonetheless reaches out and picks a card.
"Very Good now then." Sako says shuffling the deck again.
"I'm going to pull the opposite suite color of the same card you have in your hand." Sako says pulling up a card while Izuku looks at his card the 6 of clubs.
"And look at that I pulled the 6 of spades." Sako says chuckling as Izuku just looks confused.
"Look you mentioned an offer, what was it." Izuku says in a demanding voice tossing the card back to Sako.
"Well lad I believe you and me could be partners." Sako says leaning down on Izuku putting one arm around his shoulders and motioning with the other one.
"Imagine it, you and me on the stage with the thunderous applause of the crowd. People laughing all the while having no idea what happens behind the scenes." Sako says putting his arm around Izuku and waving the other one in front of them.
"What exactly goes on behind the scenes?" Izuku asks in a less demanding more curious tone.
"Well my dear friend to learn that you'll need to except my offer." Sako say releasing Izuku and stepping aside.
"Join me as my assistant. Choose your own path, be what you want to be and not what others tell you.'
"You realize if I join you I will be considered by all means a villain then right." Izuku says side eyeing the man before him.
"That's your choice to make in whether or not you accept." Sako says straitening his sleeve cuff.
Izuku thought for a moment what it would be like, being the complete opposite of what h wanted to be his whole life. Then he thought about what that would entail for himself. Leaving his old life behind or a new one where he most likely wouldn't be judged for being quirkless, but for his skills in villainy, or on the stage.
"I acc-" As Izuku was going to say he accepted he stopped mid sentence causing Atsuhiro to look at him through his mask.
Izuku had realized what this would mean for his mother. He would most likely never see her again. After all if he did become a villain then the competition would try to get to him through her. And if he was ever found out then the hero's would assume she was an accomplice and arrest her.
"Well What's your answer?"
"I accept." Izuku said more confidently this time standing straight up.
"But on a few conditions." Izuku continued before Sako could say anything.
"And they would be." Sako asked leaning forward on his cane.
"One I live with you so my mother doesn't get involved with anything." Izuku said holding back tears at the thought of leaving his mother.
"Alright. And the others." Sako says motioning for Izuku to continue.
"Two, I am provided a new wardrobe and an altered appearance as to hide my real identity from people who might recognize me or the hero's and police who might search for me." Izuku continued.
"And."
"Three, I am to be allowed my own free will. While I will listen to you I would like to have my own life while doing it." Izuku said looking at the person who he now works for.
'Nothing wrong with any of those terms." Sako says standing up off his cane as it suddenly turns into a marble and he pts it in his coat pocket.
"Now then for the reasons you just listed and you just listed and your own personal safety-" Sako says as off in the distance an explosion is heard.
"I'm going to temporarily turn you into a marble until we get back to my dwelling area." sako finishes as Izuku nods and steps forward.
"Just think of this as an opportunity for a long nap." Sako says as he touches Izuku's head and turns him into a marble, and puts it into his pocket.
"Must say a rather interesting lad. Smart enough to choose his own path. And soon with enough brawn and skill to back it up" Sako says jumping from rooftop to rooftop quickly and silently.
THE NEXT DAY
Nobody was really all that concerned when Izuku hadn't shown up to school the next day. Other than Inko Midoriya.
"Tch. Useless nerd. To much of a quirkless damn coward to face me." Katsuki grumbled to himself throughout the day.
"Please be safe my baby please." Inko cried to herself all day watching the new in hopes of something about Izuku turning up.
Little did anybody know that the boy mocked for being quirkless and called a useless Deku would now be the thing many feared and laughed at.
"Welcome back to the land of the living my friend." Sako says as Izuku groggily rubs his eyes and takes in his surroundings seeing he is in pretty much an average looking living room.
"Where are we." Izuku asks standing up.
"At my current abode. Please forgive me I've yet to tidy it up." Sako says walking over to the room over.
"Follow me." Sako says as Izuku walks into what looks like a costume room with a little salon chair and sink in one corner.
"Now since you don't want to be recognized the best thing to o is to completely change your appearance." Sako says grabbing a bottle of Purple and red hair dye among a shelf full of colors.
"Why purple and red?" Izuku asks curious.
"Because they go well together and since you and I will be on stage together." Sako says motioning for Izuku to sit down.
"Now this will be a while so don't move."
"Ok"
"Also you'll need to decide a new name for yourself since using your current one would be risky." Sako says as izuku thinks.
"take your time while I go ahead with the makeover." Sako says and Izuku can swear he is grinning behind the grinning mask.
"Now then try not to squirm." Sako says removing his coat, gloves, and hat.
"By the way since every villain seems to have a name what's your villain name?" Izuku asks curious.
"Its . Its both classy and original."
"Neat." izuku says as Compress begins applying the bleach to his hair as it slowly turns form green to blond.
"Now while I let the bleach do its work I'll begin on your face." Compress says grabbing a thing of makeup and gently powdering it on Izuku's face.
"Since that freckled mess of a face would easily be recognized we need to mask it."
"Whatever."
2 Hours Later
"And Done." Sako says stepping back as Izuku sits up.
"So how do I look." Izuku asks.
"See for yourself." Sako says grabbing a mirror and holding it in front of Izuku's face.
To say Izuku was impressed was an understatement. Even he could hardly tell he was the same person. His once normal toned freckled face was now replaced by a much smoother shade of white but not enough to make it look unrealistic. His once green hair was now purple with red tip at the end. Finally his once bright green eyes were now staring into a pair of red eyes to match the tips of his hair.
"Well what do you think." Compress asks a little nervous having never done this before.
"Perfect. Its perfect, I barely even recognize myself." Izuku says standing up from the chair he was in and grabbing a comb and brush.
"I take it you want a new hairstyle hm." Sako says walking over to the clothing racks as Izuku fiddles with his hair.
"By the way." Sako says walking up to Izuku with a pile of cloths in his hands, "Did you decide on a name for yourself."
At this Izuku stopped. True he had picked out a name but it was what his new boss would say about it that he was nervous about.
"I have a name. But promise you won't laugh." izuku asks as Compress nods.
"I hardly knew my father. In all and complete honestly apart from my mother your one of the few to show me kindness." Izuku says looking down
"It was my choice you know, but go on." Compress urges.
"Since I am and will never again be Izuku Midoriya-" Izuku pauses for a breath.
"I have decided to rename my self Kuro Atsuhiro." Izuku says praying he didn't make a mistake.
neither one says anything for a moment until Kuro feels a hand on his shoulder.
"Well then welcome to the family Kuro Atsuhiro." Sako says as his body subconsciously moves and gives his new basically son a hug. It was at this point both of them knew they were in for a more adventure filled life. And they both were ready for it.
A.N. Please don't kill me. I swear this idea just popped in my head out of nowhere and I liked it. Its my first Fic so I get writing mistakes and fast paced ness. But please review so I know im not doing bad or if people actually like this.
