Hello!
To those of you who have no idea who I am, hiya~ It's nice to meet you all and I hope you enjoy my story!
To those of you who do know of me. Hello again! I know I've been creating a few fanfics lately but I plan to only really work on three: This, God of Requip, and Devilish Sage. I hope none of you mind to much. Ill try to keep my update schedule at least somewhat balanced/organized to the best of my ability.
Regardless, LETS BEGIN THIS STORY!
(P.S. I apologize if this chap is a bit short, I'm very bad at long intro's. I've also been struggling to write long chaps lately)

7 year-old Izuku Midoriya stared up at the large expanse of sky above him, most of his body flaring in pain thanks to the bruises and injuries he had received from Bakugou not even ten minutes ago. With a deep sigh he groaned and slowly rose to his feet. As he did, the short 7 year-old looked back and noticed the kid he had been trying to protect had already left him. It hurt, it really, really hurt when this happened. And it always happened. He'd protect someone against bullies (usually Bakugou, though) and then after he got beat up, the person he'd saved would leave him for dead because he was 'Quirkless'. Izuku allowed a rare glower to cover his features as he glared at the ground by his feet. Oh, how he hated that infernal title.
If anyone was asked, they'd very easily be able to say that Izuku was like a pure ray of sunshine given human form. But, of course, all people have a breaking point. All people have something they hate or dislike in some way, shape or form. Izuku found that hatred directed at the simple label of 'Quirkless'. That one word was enough to turn the masses against him. That one word was enough to make his life a living hell. That one word was enough to crush every dream ever held by a child. And the thing that angered Izuku the most about that title was that it wasn't even true!. He had seen the doctor three years ago, he was missing the toe joint, he had a quirk factor, and yet his quirk just wouldn't show itself!.
Izuku huffed angrily and shook his body before slapping his sore cheeks, reminding himself that hate did absolutely nothing. His mum said so, so it was definitely true!
With a hiss of pain, the child made his way home, knowing his mother would be extremely worried once he got home.

It wasn't a surprise to Izuku when the moment he stepped through the door, his mother was on her knees in tears while checking over him. Izuku winced as she touched a particularly tender spot on his arm and Inko recoiled as if she had been struck before continuing to check him over tearfully.
"I-Izuku! P-Please! You h-have to tell me w-what's g-g-going on!" She said through sobs, staring at him eye to eye.
Staring into the tearful green eyes that he inherited, he could feel himself beginning to tear up. Remorse hit him like a sledgehammer even as he instinctually opened his mouth to lie.
"I-it's not s-serious mum….J-just-" Though unlike every other time, Inko cut him off.
"S-son! P-please…..Please don't lie to me!" The boy could feel his heart breaking in two at her voice "I-I tried to believe you the o-other times! I-I really, really did!...But this..this is so bad!" She cried "So please! P-please Izuku….."
The green haired boy really shouldn't have been surprised when he began crying, it was something that the Midoriya's were famous for, after all. But he still found himself blinking in surprise when he felt a hot, wet stream down both of his freckled cheeks. Without realizing it, he had began to cry alongside his mother. With a small wail he fell into her and hugged her tightly, never wanting to let go as he cried.
"I-I'm sorry M-Mum! I-I'm so, s-so sorry!" He wailed while soaking her shoulder "I-I never w-wanted t-to make you upset!"
"S-Sweety…H-how did this happen?" She finally asked.
Izuku wanted to lie, he wanted to make sure that no one got in trouble. But seeing his mother like this, on the verge of breaking in tiny shards. It reminded him far too much of when he was six. When his world had been shattered by the leaving of his father. He hadn't heard the whole thing. Forgotten some of it, too. But he could never forget the state his mother had been left in after he had stormed out of the house. And seeing her like this, right now…he couldn't bear to lie to her.
"K-Kacchan…" He weakly mumbled into her shoulder, it was only a name, but it was enough to confirm Inko's theories.
"I'm going to talk to Mitsuki the first thing tomorrow morning, okay?" She promised him while beginning to dry up some of her tears.
"I-I don't w-w-want Kacchan t-to get in t-trouble" Izuku muttered while looking at his mother and sniffling.
Inko smiled warmly and cupped his head gently in her palms. Her still wet eyes gazing lovingly into his own eyes.
"My sweet little Izuku…Always the hero~" She murmured lovingly before gently kissing his forehead "How about we go get dinner out tonight?" She suggested, both as a way to cheer him up, but also as a way to give herself more time to figure out how to bring the issue up to Mitsuki tomorrow.
"S-Sure!" Izuku said enthusiastically while trying to dry his eyes.
XXXxxxXXX
Inko couldn't help but smile as Izuku happily looked around the mall that the two of them had gone to, to get dinner. Of course the first thing that had caught his attention was a store selling Hero collectibles, but that didn't surprise the single mother in the slightest. She wondered what notebook the boy was up to by now, she'd have to ask and see if he needed some new ones. As she thought, she never noticed her son slowly stop bouncing as his eyes focused on something. She was brought out of her musings by a tug on her sleeve.
"M-mum. Why i-is that man using his quirk i-in public?" Izuku asked her curiously.
"What?" She asked in confusion and whipped her head around to where Izuku was pointing, seeing the man in question as he lobbed an orb that he pulled off his head at a nearby pillar.
A second after the orb hit the pillar and stuck there, it suddenly began glowing before detonating with a large explosion, throwing the mall into a panic as the man began to lob orb after orb in every direction without rhyme or reason.
"IZUKU!" Inko shouted while grabbing his hand and pulling him towards an exit.
Izuku struggled to keep up with his mother but did so anyway, his fear allowing him to run faster than he ever had before, as adrenaline surged through his veins. As they ran, he heard the villain yell something before three orbs landed above the exit they were running towards. Desperately the two (among everyone else running towards the exit as well) tried to stop and run the other way. Unfortunately they had only managed to stop by the time the orbs began to glow.
"NO!"
BOOOOM!
XXXxxxXXX
Izuku saw the three orbs and began to panic, trying to stop and run the other way with his mother. When he saw them starting to glow, he felt fear creep through his system. He saw the fear on everyone's faces. He saw the fear on his mothers face. In that one moment, he felt any worry about himself die and be replaced by a gripping fear for everyone around him, though specifically for his mother. He swore he heard some sort of switch flick inside his head. He felt a rush of strange yet soothing energy rush through his body.
As the orbs began to detonate, he flung his hand forward and felt the energy rush into his arm before coalescing in his palm and firing towards the three orbs. Without even realizing, he felt a scream tear itself through his throat and escape his mouth.
"NO!"
BOOOOM!
XXXxxxXXX
Inko slowly opened her eyes as her ears rung from the explosions. The first thing she noticed through her blurry vision was that she was on the floor and Izuku wasn't near her. As her vision began to clear and the ringing began to disappear she felt panic grip her poor heart and began to look around wildly.
"Izuku!?" She asked while whipping her head around wildly "IZUKU!?"
"No way…."
Her head snapped towards the teenage girl nearby who appeared to be slack-jawed by something nearby. Turning her head in the same direction as the girl she couldn't help but feel the same.
In front of her stood a still standing Izuku Midoriya. Except he was different from the sweet, innocent boy she had raised. The 7 year-old in front of her was alit with green flames that didn't seem to actually give off any heat. His curly mess of green hair was waving calmly in the air with glowing green tips. And even though Inko couldn't see it from behind him, Izuku's eyes glowed an intense emerald. He had his right arm raised to what used to be the exit, his palm covered in brilliant emerald flames. The most surprising and terrifying part however was the massive chunks of concrete and metal floating in front of the terrified group of civilians. An especially large piece was mere inches from her sons palm.
All around her, people began to murmur and look at her precious baby boy in awe as he protected all of them with his Quirk. With his Quirk! Inko felt a small amount of pride slip into the tsunami of suspense and anxiety that was filling her.
Hearing a loud 'bang!' behind them, everyone turned around to see the villain knocked out by Death Arms, the Pro Hero.
"Oh good" Inko turned her head towards Izuku so fast she actually hurt her neck "The Heroes are here" He smiled happily even as his eyes began to droop "We're…..saved…" He mumbled as the flames began to die, the items began to fall to the ground, and Izuku began to fall over.
"IZUKU!" Inko began to rush towards him, as did various others.
The exhausted 7 year-old hit the ground and knew no more.
XXXxxxXXX
Inko wrung her hands nervously as the paramedic which arrived at the mall looked over her son. Even though she had been told that it was simply exhaustion from using his Quirk for the first time, she hadn't began to calm down until the paramedic finally bent and checked on the small boy. Feeling a tap on her shoulder, she turned to see the teenage girl she had seen before.
"Um, hi" She began awkwardly with a little wave.
"H-Hello, dear" Inko greeted back kindly, the nervous speech reminding her of how Izuku spoke.
"So I, uh..I just wanted to thank your son for saving me. I only really came here to hang out with some friends. A-and when that crazy guy attacked, I panicked and couldn't think straight. B-but, um, your son managed to save me soooo, w-what I mean to say is uuhhh" She gulped and shifted her posture before smiling sincerely at Inko "Please tell your son that im very thankful he protected me"
Inko couldn't help but send a warm smile back at the girl. Placing her hands over her heart as she did so.
"Of course. My little Izuku has always wanted to be a Hero more than anything. I know that he would enjoy hearing what you said more than anything in the world"
The girl couldn't help but giggle and look over at Izuku, who the paramedic was still checking.
"I'm sure he'd be an awesome Hero one day" She said with a bright smile before quickly walking away to a group of teenage girls, Inko guessed they were her friends.
After that one girl, dozens of people began to approach her and give thanks and messages for Izuku. All of the compliments and thanks for her son began to make Inko tear up from happiness. Wiping some tears away, she smiled bright enough to light up the darkest of caves.
"Ill make sure Izuku hears everything you wanted to tell him!" She yells out to the group before facing her son once more.
Bzzzt Bzzzt
Raising an eyebrow, the green haired woman brought out her phone and answered the call.
"INKO! ARE YOU OKAY!? I JUST SAW ON THE NEWS THAT SOME FUCKING NUTJOB ATTACKED THE MALL YOU WENT TO!" Mitsuki Bakugou yelled over the call the moment it connected.
"I-Im fine Mitsuki. But you'll never guessed what happened! Izuku got his Quirk!" She told her panicking friend happily.
There was silence for a moment before..
"WHAT!?"
