It is a commonly known fact that those who suffer abuse often become those who abuse. Abused children become child abusers, and the bullied become bullies. It takes a special kind of hero to lift people out of that cycle, and Izuku was, uplifted by All Might. But what if he hadn't been? Abandoned by all but one, Izuku saved himself, but at the bloody cost of maintaining the cycle.

Izuku got beaten up for saving someone. By the one who was supposed to be his friend. No one helped him. Ever. And laying under that tree, beaten up, he came to a gruesome realization. So, did he wimp out and did nothing? FUCK NO! He used that brilliant mind of his, made a plan and stuck to it. And now came the time to reap the rewards. OP! Izuku. OOC! Izuku. Slow Burn romance.
