My Hero Academia: Alternate Beginnings Part 1
The Plot:
This story is a brief crossover and different Story of when Billy Batson alias Captain Marvel makes a short appearance in another World where 80% of the Populace has strange and weird powers. The Gods of that World want to have a warrior to fight the Seven Deadly Sins of Man, so borrowing Billy Batson from his world with the permission of the Gods of that world. He was transported directly in front of Izuku Midoriya. Looking down at the young battered green haired teenager, Billy could tell that Izuku did not have any powers and thus was a target of abuse and ridicule. Not answering any questions, Billy in the guise of Captain Marvel nodded and gazed skyward. "He is worthy." Billy proclaimed and the Gods agreed. Then sent Billy back home.
Becoming a Hero:
With stunned disbelief, Isuku shook his head and wondered if the last beating from Kacchan had rattled his mind briefly. Closing and reopening his eyes he looked up at the Red and Yellow Customed Man and as he asked the simple question on who he was. The Man simply stated that "He is Worthy" and then he was gone, just as suddenly as he appeared. "Okay Kacchan hit me way to hard this time." Izuku said aloud as he tried to smile at his own Joke. Exhaling and then spitting blood, he rose and made his way back home. Wondering if his Mother's Insurance covered brain scans.
Going to bed early, Izuku awoke after having really strange dreams. Some very tall and imposing Men spoke to him during the night in his dreams. The one that introduced himself as Zeus, King of the Gods had spoken to him and then pointed out the others. Detailing some type of gift that they each gave him. Even now he remembered the Dream and found it somewhat strange. "The Wisdom of Solomon, the Strength of Hercules, the Stamina of Atlas, the Power of Zeus, the Courage of Achilles and the Speed of Mercury." The one called Zeus spoke to him after that. Telling him when it is needed say SHAZAM and our might will be there for you. This baffled Izuku as those words kept repeating through his mind, almost like an Ear-worm that would not go away no matter what he thought or did. "Izuku do you want breakfast?" His mother Inko asked again as she waved a hand in front of his face. "Hello Izuku." Blinking he smiled and nodded.
"Sorry Mom. Had weird dream last night." Izuku replied as she smiled and placed a plate of Noodles with Vegetables in front of him. He stared at it with confusion.
"What? Those are what I made last night for dinner, but you went right to bed. Waste not want not." His Mother stated as he shrugged and began to eat. Walking to school in a daze, Izuku barely paid attention as he stepped into his class. Not even Kacchan's remarks seemed to bring him out it. Sitting the Words kept repeating over and over again. Causing Izuku to wonder if he was going mad or insane. The booming voices blocking out all other noises or sounds. Placing his hands over his ears he tried to drown out the Words, but they were in his mind not his ears.
"Hey Deku! Wake the fuck up! You Quirkless Waste of Life!" Katsuki Backugo said angrily as he popped a small explosion right in front of Izuku's face. Then grimaced when it did not have the desired effect. Barely phasing his one time friend. "I knew I should not have pounded on you that hard last nigh. Shit I think I broke him." He commented to his two cronies as they chuckled. "DEKU!" He yelled loudly at Izuku. That seemed to awaken him.
"What?" Izuku asked in confusion as he glanced about, wondering what he was doing at school and outside near the exercise field. Katsuki first looked at Izuku with some minor concern that perhaps he did harm Deku to badly last night. Then shook it off. No Deku needed to be reminded that he was worthless and would never be a Hero.
"Listen Asshole, playing dumb won't stop me from beating the shit out of you!" Katsuki stated as he smirked at Izuku. "Now are you done trying to be a hero or what?" He asked as Izuku stared at him strangely and with no real expression. With a roar, Katsuki punched him in the stomach and with no satisfaction he just folded over with no real reaction to the blow. After several more punches, Izuku dropped to the ground and Katsuki kicked him once for good measure. "You are so fucking pathetic, Deku!" He stated then walked away with his two cronies close behind him chuckling about how easy it had been for Katsuki to beat up Deku again.
Standing, Isuku barely felt any pain as he walked back towards his home. The voices in his head kept repeating over and over again and it was driving him insane. The only thing that seemed to suddenly bring him out of it was the huge explosion nearby. Glancing down the street, Izuku saw something monstrous tearing apart buildings, cars and even worse Heroes. Knocking them aside like they were nothing. The Creature was black and had a mouth full teeth. Another was there and he had hands all over his arms, legs and one on his Face. "Yes Nomu destroy everything! Kill anyone that tries to stop you!" The Maniac ordered as the Creature obeyed tossing hero after hero away from him. "This should bring Almight here and once he is Nomu you kill him!" He crackled with laughter as Nomu knocked Gunhead away. Izuku stood there somewhat in a daze as he watched the carnage. In his mind the voices became louder and more determined.
"SAY THE WORD! SAY SHAZAM!" The Voices demanded and Izuku could not stand it anymore. Shaking his head, he sat and when he finally looked up. He saw the Creature Nomu standing over him.
"Smear that kid all over the street." The Maniac ordered with a gleam in his evil and demented eyes. "That will give a perfect message to Almight." Izuku gazed up at the dark Monster and then whispered one word.
"Shazam." Izuku barely said, and to his relief the voices stopped speaking in his mind. But a new noise echoed from above. Lightening and in a flash, Izuku was struck with a bolt from the heavens. Power surged through Izuku. Then a single voice echoed through his mind.
"ARISE MARVEL AND COMBAT THE DEADLY SINS OF MAN. WE THE GODS GRANT YOU THE POWER OF SHAZAM." The Voice stated and Izuku rose and looked down at himself. He was basically the same as before, but now he had an adult body that was bulging with muscles. Reaching up he noticed that his hair was shorter, almost a buzz cut and as he gazed down. He saw he was in a custom much like the one that Man he saw flash before him yesterday and then just as suddenly left. The only difference was the Skin Tight Custom was Dark Blue and there was no cape. Tomura Shigaraki stared at the new arrival and was generally confused.
"Nomu kill him." Tomura finally ordered and as Nomu reared back, the new arrival backhanded Nomu. Sparks of Electrical Lightening enveloped the Monster with the blow sending the Creature across the street and into a bus. Nomu crashed threw the bus and impacted into a cement wall. Shaking his head with confusion, Tomura stepped away subconsciously. Not even Almight could do that. Tomura was told that Nomu could resist physical blows and absorb them.
"Whoa, did I do that?" Izuku asked, noticing that his voice was deeper and sounded older. When Nomu threw the bus at him. Izuku did the only natural thing, he leaped upwards and found himself floating in the air high above the ground. "I can fly! This is so cool!" Izuku stated looking down at the Maniac and Nomu. Soaring downward, he punched Nomu in the stomach, again the electrical power coursed into Nomu dented visibly inward from the blow and then was knocked again twenty yards away. Sparks of energy crackled all around Nomu. Tomura saw this and began to scratch his neck with aggravation.
"Who the fuck is this guy!" Tomura asked in anger, his voice almost childish as he glared at the floating man above him. "Kurogiri get us the hell out of here." He ordered and a dark shadow fell over Tomura and Nomu. Landing Izuku frowned and then as he tried to understand what had happened. Crowds of bystanders and Reports descended upon him. All with the same burning question.
"Who are you?"
Shaking his head, Izuku rose in the air again. Then decided to answer them. "I am Marvel." He stated and flew off, soon noticing that he could fly faster then any fighter jet. Landing a mile from his house in the Park, Izuku sat down on a big rock and pondered what had just happened. Barely noticing when an elderly man with a strange cane approached and smiled down at him.
"Greetings Izuku Midoriya or should I say Marvel." The man said as Izuku stared up at him with shock. "Do not fret young man, I am here to answer your questions. I am Solomon God of Wisdom. So ask and I shall answer." Solomon stated as he leaned against his cane, seeming to change from old man to much younger man.
"This cannot be real." Izuku stammered out and Solomon chuckled.
"It is, speak the word again." Solomon ordered and Izuku did. "I wish to speak directly to you and not your facsimile."
"Shazam." Izuku intoned and with a flash he was himself again. Solomon inhaled and then spoke.
"That is all it takes Izuku. Say that word and you are given the powers of the Gods. As to why, we desired an Agent, a Warrior to combat the Deadly Sins of Man. On another World there is such an Agent. So we borrowed him to choose one here. You were that one." Solomon told him as he twirled his cane around.
"Why me?" Izuku asked and Solomon shrugged.
"Why not. We have seen that you have been downtrodden most of your life. Beaten and abused by others. Even one that once was your friend. In all that you never lost the compulsion or drive to be a Hero. To help others. That is what made the other, Captain Marvel picked you." Solomon told him as he waited for Izuku continue to ask questions and the young man did. Two hours later, he was finally done. "Before I depart, is there anything else you wish to ask?" Solomon inquired as Izuku nodded.
"Not that I am ungrateful, Sir. But is there anyway that I could change into perhaps a muscular version of myself? Changing into an Adult is really upsetting." Iuku asked and Solomon laughed. Then gazed upwards and then back down at him.
"Done. You will no longer revert to an adult version of yourself. Now if that is all I would suggest one thing Izuku Midoriya. Keep the source of your powers a secret. Just tell others that you finally have your Quirk. Otherwise they may deem you are insane to believe that the Gods have granted you the powers that you now hold." Solomon added as he began to fade away. "Good luck Marvel." Then he was gone and Izuku sat once more alone in the park. Standing he walked down the trail soon he was on the street. Heading for home.
With his stomach growling, Izuku entered a Convenience Store wanting a Sunshine Peanut Butter Cluster. Reaching for the last one, his hand collided with a pink hand that was grabbing for the same Candy Bar. "Hey I saw that Fir..." Izuku started to say then his eyes widened as he stared at the pink girl standing before him. She smiled at him and retracted her own hand. The Girl had Pink Hair and Skin and the coolest eyes he had ever seen. She was wearing blue shorts and a black V-Neck T-Shirt with a Pink and White Flower on it. What really drew his attention was the girl had two horns protruding from her head. In his estimates the prettiest girl he had ever seen or met before.
"Sorry but I love those and that is the last one." The Pink girl with horns said her eyes twinkling as Izuku could not take his own eyes of the vision before him.
"No problem, go ahead. I will just get a Reese Peanut Butter Cups instead." Izuku stammered out, as she smiled and picked up the Cluster.
"Thanks,I am Mina Ashido and who might you be?" Mina asked as she continued to smile at him. Pleased that he was looking at her with appreciation. Most boys her age stared at her in a totally different way. Always whispering about her, calling her a freak or with some if she had matching carpet. That bothered her a lot. But this boy that stood before her, looked at her differently and she really liked it.
"I.I. Izuku Midoriya." Izuku replied as she chuckled at his awkwardness. Then she decided to be blunt.
"Would you like to sit and talk. I just moved here and do not know too many people yet." Mina asked and Izuku nodded, gesturing over at the nearby table. Stepping up to the counter he paid for his and her candy bars. "You did not have to do that." She said and Izuku shrugged.
"No problem. So where did you move from?" Izuku asked shyly, as they sat across from each other. Unwrapping their candy bars and each biting into them. Mina told him and they began to ask each other questions. At first Izuku was somewhat shy and reluctant to speak to Mina. But she was just so pretty and he instantly was memorized by her golden and black eyes.
"Oh did you hear? There is a new unknown Hero. His name is Marvel and the pictures and video show that he is such a hotty." Mina said and Izuku blushed a deep red color and she stared at him with confusion. "Wow nice shade of red there." She said teasing him. Then chuckled when it grew brighter.
"Well I do not think that one is going to be around anymore. That version of him anyhow." Izuku said as her eyes focused on him. Silently wondering if he knew something. That perhaps he had seen another report about this Marvel that she had not yet. Deciding to change the subject. "So what is your quirk?" He asked and silently adding. "Besides on being really cute." Mina rotated her hand and a pool of liquid began to form within her cupped hand.
"I can create Acid. From my hands and from my feet. I can also spit it if I really have to, but that is totally disgusting. Imagine me spitting on some Criminal." Mina told him as they both chuckled at her comment. Dropping the small pool of Acid into an ashtray, it melted the cigarette butts almost instantly. "That there is just low grade Acid. So what is your Quirk?" She asked, he closed his eyes and frowned.
"I was born without a Quirk." Izuku replied and then looked back at her. "If you want to go, I understand. Not many want to hang out or be around someone that is essentially powerless." He said, not ready to tell her that now he did have a Quirk. A vastly powerful one. She reached out and took his hand.
"Why would I? Having a Quirk made me like this and I like being different then everyone else. You should feel the same." Mina stated as she clasped his hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. Then released it, feeling her cheeks begin to become a brighter pink shade. They continued to talk and ask each other questions. She told him that she was going to take the UA test next month and that she wanted to become a Hero. Then realizing that Izuku would never be able to do that, she stopped talking about her hopes of entering the UA School for Heroes.
"Hey it is alright, I am actually thinking of applying as well." Izuku admitted and she stared at him with shock.
"I do not know Izuku, I hear that practical test is really hard. Someone without a Quirk might get hurt." Mina said and Izuku shrugged. But not ready to show her or anyone yet. He wanted to debut himself when he arrives at the UA. Unfortunately he could not really do any Hero Work within the Borders of the Country yet. Without a Hero License it was illegal for him to do that. But he needed to practice and learn all about his new Powers. He knew he was super strong and could fly. He began to wondered what else he could do. After finishing their candy bars and talking for another half hour, they left the store together. Izuku volunteered to show her around and Mina placed her hand on his right elbow.
"Lead the way." Mina said smiling at him sweetly and laughed when his face once again became a beet red color. She liked how easy it was for her to embarrass him, to was really sweet. Seeing the sights, she found she really liked him. He was not like the other boys, he was kind and considerate. Near dusk, she frowned. "Damn I have to get home or my Family will think that I hooked up with someone and is about to have sex." She said and watched as his face went an extreme color of crimson.
"Your kidding me right?" Izuku asked and Mina shook her head, smirking.
"Nope. My Family is really outspoken." Mina replied and then giggled. "Oh I can't wait for you to meet them. I bet they will think we are humping, though my Dad will demand to know if we are or not. He is outspoken but he still is my Dad." Mina saw Izuku turn red and then pale. Suddenly realizing that she intended for them to hang out more and eventually meet each others parents. "Hey want to meet up tomorrow, go see a Movie. I understand there is a New Almight and Midnight Movie that just came out." Izuku nodded, he actually had already seen it and though it had some action scenes. It seemed geared more to having Almight and Midnight become a couple.
"Sure." Izuku stammered as Mina chuckled lightly. Then her black and gold eyes widened, realizing that she just asked him out on a date. Recovering quickly she let go of his arm and decided to play it that way. Yes it would be a Date. Throwing caution to the wind she leaned forward and kissed him on the right cheek. Then turned and walked away. Pleased that he just stood there staring at her with shock and had a small smile plastered on his face.
Walking down the street, Mina smiled broadly. She had just asked a boy out on a date. Though that was not her intention, she just liked him and she knew he would be someone that she could be BFF's with easily. Maybe even something more. She would not mind that either. He was cute and she liked how he looked at her. Stepping into her house, her Family who were at the Dinner Table saw her expression and her Mother instantly knew what it was. "She met a boy and she likes him." Her Mother blurted out and Mina felt her cheeks turn a dark pink. Then the questions flowed from her family. All wanting to know details.
Feeling like he had transformed into Marvel already, Izuku felt like he was floating home. He could not fully believe that Mina liked him and as he entered his building realization struck him. "Shit she asked me out on a date." He gasped as his eyes widened and he smiled broadly. When he bumped into someone, he mumbled an apology. Then saw and heard who it was.
"Deku! Get the Fuck out of the way, before I melt your face!" Katsuki said angrily as he pushed Izuku out of his way. Wanting the weakling to protest or say something that would set him off, so he could beat the shit out of Deku again.
"Not tonight Kacchan, I am not in the mood for your bullshit." Izuku stated and walked right on by him. Katsuki stated at him in shock as he ascended the stairs.
"WHAT?" Katsuki screamed in a growl, lunging slightly to grab Izuku's shoulder from behind. Wanting to pull the Quirkless Wimp outside and beat him so badly that he would have to go to the emergency room. Izuku shrugged off Katsuki's hand and continued up the stairs.
"Do not push me Kacchan, not anymore." Izuku declared and turned the corner of the stairs, pausing just long enough. "Just leave me alone, if you don't you will not like the consequences. Trust me." Then he was gone. Katsuki stared up at the empty stairwell in utter shock, anger began to flow through him as he thought about what Deku had just said to him.
"I will allow you to live tonight, but tomorrow Deku! I am going to finally beat you so badly that you will wish I killed you!" Katsuki stormed out of the Building and headed for home. He felt his rage and anger escalate as he continued to think of what Deku dared to say to him.
It being Saturday, Izuku awoke early and headed for the woods. A few years ago his mother took him to a secluded place in the woods for a picnic and he decided to go there to experiment with his new Powers. Test himself to see exactly what he can do as Marvel. Once in the glade, he said the word and with a flash of lightening he was Marvel. Inhaling he could still smell the carbon in the air and as he moved his arms up and down he could feel Electrical Energy and power spark in the air. Ionizing the air all around him. "Test number one. Strength." He said as he stepped over to a Ten Foot Boulder. With little more then embedding his fingers into the rock, he hefted and with delight lifted the Rock high over his head. Noticing that his fingers were now several inches into the pure rock. "Okay I am really strong." Izuku muttered as he dropped the Boulder back were it was. After several more tests, he found that he could throw Electrical Lightening Bolts and that he could fly really high into the sky. Though that confused him somewhat, he had always been afraid of heights. Then the answer came to him. Achilles granted him Courage. That was the reason he no longer feared heights or even when he was not Marvel why he was no longer afraid of Kacchan. Some of the abilities ebbed into Izuku even when he was not Marvel. Sitting he began to ponder how he suddenly realized that. Then with a small chuckle. "Of course, Wisdom of Solomon. Man this is going to take some time to get used to." With a small smile he floated back into the air, noticing the sun position. "Oh shit! The Date with Mina." Deciding to fly he headed for home and landed on the Balcony of his and his Mother's apartment. Thankful that his mother was out grocery shopping. Reverting back to normal he rushed inside to shower and change his clothes. Knowing even now Achilles was giving him some courage, because he did not really feel nervous at all. Rushing out the door, he ran down the street to where he and Mina agreed to meet and not to be late. Arriving a good ten minutes early and seeing Mina waiting. "Oh Man, am I late?" He asked her and she shook her head.
"Nope. I just came early. Ready to go? I thought we might get a bite to eat at that Diner you showed me yesterday first then go to the Movie." Mina stated and Izuku nodded. With a small movement, she clasped his hand in hers and after noticing his face turning once again a deep red color. They walked down the street, smiling at each other. The First Date had begun and both hoped for more.
To be continued
