"I see you're in deep thought Izuku, did you think of anything that might have caused it?" Sensei asked

"Well I think I might know but since I'm not sure I rather not tell you" Izuku said nervously

Sensei stared at him for a while. "Fine but tell us soon" Sensei said

"Ok, I will" Izuku said with his normal cheerful smile

"Oh, by the way I have a mission for you for tomorrow" Sensei said

"What is it?" Izuku asked

"You are to go with Toga and stalk All Might" Sensei said

"Ok, I'm good at stalking" Izuku said jokingly

"How many people have you stalked?" Toga asked

Izuku stared at Toga wondering how she could fall for such an obvious joke, which made Toga's face turn a bright red, which in turn made Dabi call her an idiot, which once again made them argue with each other.

"Hey, Izuku you're friends with Katsuki Bakugo aren't you?" Shigaraki asked

"Well, I would like to call him my friend, but he's more like a bully to me than anything" Izuku explained

"Then why does he call you Deku? Isn't that the nickname your friends gave you?" Shigaraki asked

"Oh, well the nickname 'Deku' means useless, which as he once said suits me since I'm quirkless" Izuku explained boredly

"But you're not quirkless, as Sensei said, you have a Quirk it just hasn't manifested yet" Shigaraki said

"Then well will my 'quirk' manifest?" Izuku asked

"I don't know the answer to that, but we could try something" Shigaraki said

"Like what?" Izuku asked

"We could put you in life threatening situations to force your quirk to manifest and protect you" Shigaraki suggested

"Ok! Let's try it!" Izuku said excitedly

"Are you suicidal or something?" Shigaraki asked

"No, why do you think that?" Izuku asked

"Because normal people wouldn't agree to that without hesitating a little bit" Shigaraki said

"I'm not suicidal I just want to see what my quirk is" Izuku explained

"Ok, well let's try something tomorrow after your mission is over" Shigaraki said with a small smile

"Yeah" Izuku said returning the smile

The next day

Izuku woke up with a fresh start feeling more energized than normal. He sat up on the edge of his bed thinking about what happened yesterday. He started to feel excited for the new training and his first mission, which is stalking All Might. After a minute or two he stood up and got dressed, that is when he realized the sun wasn't up and it was about 2-3 in the morning.

"Why and how did I wake up this early?" He asked himself

He looked down to see himself half dressed. 'Well I might as well stay up since I have to wake up in a couple hours anyway' he thought to himself. During the next few hours Izuku passed his time by playing a game of chess by himself, which then he realized that playing by himself seemed pretty sad and made it look like he had no friends, which to be honest was somewhat true if you're not counting the league of villains. He stopped playing chess and instead went for a walk outside. During his walk he saw a lot of shady people, which for some reason he somehow befriended, which in turn helped him. For instance one guy he befriended warned him about the heroes' nightly patrols and where they usually were, which thankfully was on point. The guy's name was Koroshin Shaka, which was also the name of a former villain, who was perhaps stronger than All Might until he got his quirk taken away by one of his followers.

Izuku was walking along a sidewalk that led to his old home, when suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder and a deep, yet familiar voice say, "what are you doing here?". Izuku whipped his head around to see All Might staring down at him without his usual smile.

"Just going to see my old home" Izuku replied faking a smile

"Ok, but be careful there might be villains lurking around this area" All Might warned

"Ok, I'll be careful, but you might want to get back to patrol" Izuku pointed out

"Yeah, I almost forgot" All Might said as he waved

'It seems like he already forgot' Izuku thought

Izuku continued walking to his old, ruined home. He was deep in thought when he realized that he reached his destination. He stared at the old, burned out house with a deep feeling of regret and nostalgia. He walked into the house clutching onto his chest as old memories flooded his mind. He felt a burning tear stream down his face as he collapsed onto his knees and started to bawl his eyes out. The more he resisted the memories the faster they came and disappeared.

"This is the very reason why the happiest memories are the saddest" Izuku said sadly

"Why is that?" An unknown voice asked

"Because you know those moments will never happen again" Izuku cried

After crying for a few minutes Izuku felt the urge to start laughing. He didn't resist the urge and started laughing, but instead of his usual cheerful laugh this laugh was filled with resentment and sadness. He laughed even more as the last of his tears dried, until his laughter faded and only silence remained. He stood up and exited the house. He wandered aimlessly back to his so called 'home', which was the only place he could go back to. He started ominously mumbling to himself when suddenly a boy with half red, half white hair bumped into him. Izuku looked up with dull, lifeless eyes to witness who walked into him. The boy looked down at him with curiosity and concern.

"Are you okay?" The boy asked concern filling his eyes

"I'm okay" Izuku said smiling

"Okay, but be careful you don't want to encounter a villain" the boy said

"Sure" Izuku said

The boy walked off leaving Izuku to his lonesome. He started walking towards the bar again, when he felt eyes staring upon him. He quickly turned around to see who had the audacity to look at him with such bloodlust. He scanned the area, but nobody was close by. He turned back around and started to run back to the bar as the sun was about to set. When he got back to the dark doors of the bar he felt relieved, as he no longer had anything to be afraid of. He opened the door and walked in to find everyone else awake and out of bed. They stared at him as he walked in.

"Mornin'" Izuku said trying to break the awkward silence

"Morning" Toga replied with a smile

"What are you doing up so early?" Dabi asked plainly

"Where were you?" Shigaraki asked concerned

"I just went out for a walk and took a detour to my old home, nothing much happened" Izuku said

"What do you mean by 'old home'?" Shigaraki asked

"You mean you don't know what happened before I came here?" Izuku asked uncertainly

"Something happened before you came here?" Dabi asked confusedly

"Well, long story short my bully got attacked by a slime villain, then when I went home my house was on fire, I went in to make sure my mom wasn't hurt, but I found her when she was taking her last breaths." Izuku explained

Everyone was silent for a moment, as if they didn't want to break the silence, they were very awkward when they tried to talk.
