It has been a week since Izuku slept over at Katsuki's house. The little broccoli haired boy's life was slightly getting better because his best friend was there to support him in his time of need. He was still heartbroken that he couldn't be a hero right beside her in their future but he was already starting to grasp that it was impossible for someone like him to be a hero.
And you know what? It was okay, Because as long he had someone like his mom and Katsuki to be by his side it was going to be alright.
Over the past week he had started to think that things were going to be alright and get better so he was getting to be in a better mood with each passing day.
IIII
Inko Midoriya was having the absolute worst week of her life and it was all because of her son. If he wasn't quirkless then maybe her life wouldn't have taken such a drastic turn towards the bottom.
First it was her co-workers that knew what had happened between her and her husband and that her son was quirkless.
She thought that she could ignore it and that her and her colleagues would just move past it and forget about it but no. She was getting constant ridicule and judgement from those all around her at the workplace.
'Sucks to be her.''No man is going to be with her now.''I bet she cheated on her husband on some quirkless freak.''If I was her son I'd hate her too.'All this constant bombardment from people she thought she trusted was pushing her over the edge. She didn't know what to do with herself anymore. She can't take more of this. But at least she could get a break when she went home.
Or so she thought.It didn't take long for the neighbors around the apartment complex to find out what had happened to the sweet little family in their area. And it didn't take long for them to start judging her and her son for for tearing their family apart.
While she was gardening her plants the other day one of her neighbors was staring at her with some disturbing look on her face. Inko exactly knew what she was thinking about and it pissed her off. After she was done watering her plants she stormed back inside her house angry.
About three days later she was taking out her trash when she spotted two of her neighbors walking their dog. While she was putting the bag in the garbage can one of them started whispering something into the others ear and started giggling. Inko was now pissed she turned around and scolded them.
"What's so funny?! say it straight to my face!"
The neighbors were immediately scared of her when she did that. They turned a straight 180 degrees and sped off. One of them screamed something as they both ran off.
"Quirkless freeeaaak!"
Inko just stared down the sidewalk and let out a heavy sigh. She was starting to lose it and those really dark thoughts came back to her mind.
'Everything that has been happening to me is all my son's fault, If he wasn't a quirkless like everyone says he is then maybe my life wouldn't be this bad.'But alas, she can't do anything about it. Or can she? Inko in her broken state of mind started thinking about all the wrong things she could do.
'Maybe I could give him away?' Inko didn't know what she was thinking anymore, all this stress and madness happening around her was getting to her head. No, it did get to her head.
She was seriously thinking about putting her son in a orphanage and foster home. Inko was getting really tense now because she was about to got through with it. I mean, who was going to stop her from doing it?
Inko was in her room staring at the ceiling thinking about what she was planning to do. She had made her final decision. Her son had caused her all this pain because he was quirkless and she had to get eid of the problem. She had finally given in to her thoughts about quirkless people and sadly her son was going to pay the price for it. In her now broken state of mind Inko looked up which place she was going to put Izuku. She had found a place across the city that she would put him for adoption, tomorrow will be the time for change.

Izuku was at Katsuki's house playing heroes when it started getting dark. Mitsuki told Izuku that it was time for him to go home.
"By Deku, I'll see you at school on monday." she yelled.
"By Kacchan I'll see you too." he beamed with the brightest smile on his face.
By the time Izuku got home his mom was waiting for him in the living room. Izuku noticed immediately something was different about her. She had a deadpan look on her face and she had dark bags under her eyes.
"Izuku honey, I want you to go into your room and pack some clothes and get ready for bed. I'm going to take you somewhere tomorrow, okay?"
"Where are we going mom!" Izuku asked excitedly.
"Just a place dear, I guess you could say it's going to be a surprise."
"Okay." Izuku said. After that he went straight to his room and got a backpack and started shoving some pairs of clothes into it. After he was done the clothes he packed were, An All Might T-Shirt he loved wearing, another shirt that was just plain green to match his hair and eyes, and some pairs of shorts that he randomly picked from the closet.
Izuku went to bed that night excited for what "surprise" that he going to be involved in tomorrow. 'Maybe it's going to be a hero museum or a zoo.' He thought. But young Izuku would never be prepared for what he was actually in store for him tomorrow. He then drifted into a slumber waiting for the morning to come.
IIII
Izuku woke up around 8AM excited for the day ahead of him. But too bad he was unknowingly walking into a trap set up by his own mother.
He looked out the window to see a nice beautiful blue sky with very few white fluffy clouds around the blue hued atmosphere. He heard the sounds of birds flying around and chirping in their nests. This all seemed very familiar to him at the moment.
He then stopped paying attention because he smelled breakfast being cooked by his mom. His stomach started rumbling in anticipation for the meal he was about to eat without knowing it was going to be the last meal he'll ever have with his mother and as a family.
He walked into the kitchen to see a smorgasbord of food waiting for him. Today must be really special for her to prepare all this food. Then again he unknowingly knew that his mom had prepared all this food because after today she would probably never see him again after she leaves him.
Izuku chowed down on all the food he could before his stomach got full. He had pancakes, toast, eggs, ham, and bacon. Inko watched as her son ate all that food, she still had that deadpan look on her face showing no emotion. She was dressed nicely so the orphanage would accept her dropping off her son.
"Izuku honey you need to hurry we need to leave soon okay?"
"Okay mommy." He said.
After breakfast was done and Izuku took a fast shower, he got dressed in his best clothes and got ready to leave waiting for his mom to get done readying herself.
IIII
Inko was driving across the city to get where she was going to drop Izuku off, her son was sitting in the backseat playing his little All Might toy. It was pathetic, over time she got annoyed by the fact he was obsessed with heroes, especially him. She took her mind off it and kept driving down the freeway to get to the orphanage.
After about twenty minutes of driving through the cityscape Izuku looked up to see where he was.
This is a really sketchy part of town he has never seen before. This looked like the place heroes would fight villains that'd he watch on the internet.
Everything looked run down and trashy to be honest. the sidewalk looked cracked in lots of places, Some of the buildings had either bars on the windows or were boarded up because no one was in them. Police were patrolling the area like crazy. Lots of alleyways had police cars in them. He saw on a street corner that there was a barrel with a slight burning fire in it surrounded by people putting their hands in front of it.
Izuku actually felt uncomfortable from all the things he was seeing, So he just stared in front of the car waiting to get where his mom was taking him. Suddenly the car stopped and made a turn and parked.
"Alright honey get your stuff and come with me."
"Alright mom." He said.
Izuku got out of the car and his mom took his hand and walked him into the building. The place looked like an office but he didn't question it.
"Izuku honey go sit in the couch over there."
Izuku left his mothers side and went to go sit on the couch. He looked around the decor to see where he really was. This entire building looked like an office, but he still heard children running around, so maybe this is a place children can play?
Then all of a sudden Izuku's mom tugged at his hand and took him outside. He had noticed she had a really depressed look on her face.
"Is something wrong mom?"
"No honey, but I have to tell you something."
"Yes mom?"
"Can you make a promise to me?"
"Of course."
Inko took a deep breath and stared at Izuku.
"Can you promise me that you'll stay on your best behavior." She said with a non emotional voice but her face looked really sad now.
"Yes mom, of course I will." He said with a smile. But he didn't know that it would be the last time his mom would see him smile.
"Okay Izuku, please stay here and play and wait till I come back." Inko lied to his face, but it was in order for him to not freak out.
Inko turned around headed straight for her car. She got in her car seat turned the key and drove off. Leaving her son behind. Forever.
IIII
Izuku decided to explore the complex he was in while he waited for his mom to come back to get him.
He walked around and found that all the rooms were living spaces that people stayed in.
'Is this on of those hotels people stay in.'
He looked out the back window to see a small playground with a few kids on it. He was tempted to go down there to play but his social skills with making friends were terrible so he didn't try.
For almost seven hours Izuku walked around and explored the building not knowing that this was going to be his new home for the next couple of years. He was starting to get tired from all the walking he was doing because he was exploring the area.
The sky was starting to get dark. In droves kids started walking in and headed up the stairs from playing outside all day or from being at other places like school.
Izuku walked outside and decided to start waiting for his mom to arrive so she can take him home because he had school tomorrow, and he wanted to see Kacchan.
And he waited, and waited, and waited. He was starting to get really tired now waiting for his mother to arrive.
'What's taking her so long? She should be here by now.' He kept thinking. He was actually getting scared that his mom left him here and forgot.
Then all of sudden a lady walked put the front door and spotted him. She looked like one of the people that worked here. She had longish hair that was starting to gray and her face was starting to look like it was wrinkling. She was getting old it looked like.
"Hey kid what are you doing put here? it's time to get to bed."
"Bed?" He said. "I'm not going to bed I'm waiting for my mom to pick me up." His voice was full of concern now. Some old woman he dosen't know is telling him to go to bed like he lives here.
"Mom? Kid we have no "moms" coming in at this time of night. What are you walking about?"
"My mom and I came in earlier today and before she left she said to me that I have to wait for her."
"What did she look like?"
"She's tall, skinny, and green hair."
"Oh." The old woman said. "Kid... Um," There was pure silence for almost ten seconds. "She isn't coming back for you."
"W-w-what do you mean that she isn't coming back for me?!" Izuku started to panic, his breaths were getting shaky and he was hyperventilating.
"Kid do you know what this place is?"
"No."
"This is an orphanage."
"What is an orphanage?" He asked.
"A place where parents bring there kids when they can't take care of them anymore. Your mother brought you here because she either can't take care of you or she didn't want you anymore."
Izuku was in pure silence. He was trying to process all tthe information that was given to him. It was all too much to handle. The woman that gave birth to him, raised him and told him that she would support him and told him that he would become great in life abandoned him.
He started crying hysterically, bawling his yes put like crazy at the realization that his mother abandoned him because she didn't want him anymore.
The woman beside him sat down on the bench he was on and started comforting him.
'poor kid.' She thought while rubbing his back and patting him. He was shaking horribly and breathing really hard at the moment.
"Come on kid it's getting late, you should head to bed and get ready for a day at a new school tomorrow."
"O-okay." he muttered with shaky breaths and sobs.
Izuku walked to his new room and started to unpack his backpack. He didn't have anything besides the things he packed. His two T-shirts and shorts.
He looked around the room to see that it was kind of run down and not the best quality, the bed looked worn over the years and the closet for his clothes had some holes in the door.
'This is going to be nothing like home is it?' He asked himself. It was funny. After all the progress that he had made over the past week with Katsuki had all went back to zero. His mother abandoned him at an orphanage all the way across the city, and he doesn't even know where he is.
Izuku laid in bed hoping maybe that his life can still improve even though that he is starting from the absolute bottom now. He can only hope that things can probably get better and that he can make new friends since he won't be able to see Kaachan ever again.
'KACCHANHe internally screamed in bed. His eyes were wide open now and he was staring at the ceiling. 'How is she going to feel about never seeing me again?' He was now even more depressed, his best friend isn't going to see him ever again.
Izuku laid in bed for about one more hour before he drifted off into his sleep wondering what his new school is going to be like tomorrow.
IIII
Inko walked back into her house after a busy day of filing paper work to put her son up for adoption. She walked through her house slowly taking in the new atmosphere she brought along. It was erie and silent and to her kind of peaceful. Her bother of a son is gone and she hopes now that her life can go back to normal without her Izuku being there to drag her down with him.
She walked right into his room and looked around. Hero merchandise and All Might posters everywhere. She started going through his things and putting them in boxes. She took all the Hero merchandise and posters and started putting them in the garbage.
She stumbled upon all the family photos she had and put them all in a box and put them in her top slot in her closet.
She worked all night to disassemble Izuku's whole room and throw almost all his stuff away. She took the priceless hero action figures and stored them hoping that she can sell them for a high price in the future.
Overnight she turned Izuku's room into an office that she can from home in. Because God knows that she isn't going back to work after everything that has happened to her over the past week.
She can hope for peace in her life now. Then one thought came to her mind.
'I wonder if Hisashi would come back if I tell him about what I did with Izuku? Hmm I'll do it tomorrow.' She thought.
She was already starting to get happy again. All her problems seem to be fading away as she finds peace in starting this new branch of her life.
But the same can't be said for Izuku.
