"Is it possible for me to become a hero? Even without a quirk?" Midoriya asks All Might.

"I don't think so, kid." said All Might.

"A pro should be willing to risk his life at any moment, without a quirk, you'll just get hurt, or worse." All Might said firmly.

Midoriya was frozen on the spot by All Might's words.

"If you want to help people, become a police officer. They get a lot of hate because they lock up the criminals that pros have taken care of, but it's admirable work. All Might said as he walked to the rooftop door.

"It's okay to dream kid, however, they have to be attainable, realistic." All Might said with a sigh as he left Midoriya on the roof.

Midoriya knew that it was coming. He left the building and just walked home, not caring for the loud commotion going on nearby.

Later that night...

Midoriya was walking home just around the same time his mother came back from grocery shopping. Midoriya tried to quickly get rid of the tears on his face as he saw his mother coming closer.

"Hey Izuku, how was your..." Inko said as a villain showed up out of nowhere standing between Inko and Izuku.

"Nobody will notice if there's nobody to notice." said the villain as he made his way to Inko with his blades drawn.

"MOM!" Midoriya shouted as he got in front of the villain, taking a knife to his left shoulder.

Midoriya got Inko out of the way from the villain's sword, but he was not fast enough to pull his right arm away.

"You must have a deathwish kid, sacrificing yourself to save hers. Just like a hero." The villain said, looking at Midoriya holding his right arm in pain.

"Fine then, if you want to be a hero, let's start with how to die like one!" yelled the villain as he started swiping away with every blade he has.

Midoriya was barely able to dodge most of them, but the ones that connected made many cuts throughout his body.

After a few minutes, the villain was tired and Midoriya was screaming in pain until he lost his voice.

"You're tougher than I thought, kid, but we'll have to end this." said the villain going for another slash with his sword.

Midoriya couldn't dodge, he had to counter somehow.

Midoriya advanced on the villain and punched him with his right arm, the sword however came down so fast that it cut Midoriya's arm clean off.

Midoriya was now paralyzed, the villain stood there shocked that he was able to land a punch, but grinned as he saw Midoriya's arm on the floor.

Midoriya passed out and the last thing he heard was his mother's voice shouting his name.

One week later...

Midoriya wakes up in the hospital, but it wasn't a hospital that looked like the others. The walls were dark green with white trim, his hospital bed was black in color and he was surrounded by screens with x-rays, blueprints of unusual prosthetics, and his entire body was bandaged from the neck down.

Midoriya sees an interface pop up. He does not know where it is coming from, but what he could make of the text was the words: "System Startup Complete".

"Ah, I see you're awake, Mr. Midoriya." said the Doctor as he walks in. "And you can see me, good. The new eyes are working.".

"New Eyes?" Said Midoriya as he sits upon his hospital bed.

Midoriya could sense a change in his voice as well, it was deeper, it sounded like he was older.

"Oh yes, you recognize your voice changed too, your vocal cords were damaged, so I had to put in new ones." the Doctor explained to Midoriya.

"Where... where is my mom?" Midoriya asks the Doctor.

"She's fine, actually, she's on her way here now. We called her saying that you had just woken up." the Doctor replied.

Midoriya let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks, uh...".

"Doc, you can just call me Doc."

"Okay, thank you, Doc."

Midoriya stood up and bowed to Doc when he realizes that he had lost his right arm.

"Wait... my arm... did you?" Midoriya asked with a slight whimper.

"Oh, I designed a new one for you, military-grade armor with carbon fiber, lots of enhancements of my own as well." said Doc.

"Well, to be frank, I actually wanted to give you an opportunity to work with me, Midoriya. I saw your notebook, it's filled with very detailed analyses on quirks. It would be very useful in the medical profession." said Doc.

Midoriya was excited to hear that someone admires his work.

"Now, if you want, maybe I can take you in as an associate doctor, I can teach you how to heal and aid heroes back to health." said Doc, hoping that Midoriya would say yes.

"Yes, I'd like to be your intern, Doc!" exclaimed Midoriya with a hint of determination in his new voice.

"Haha, this won't be just any internship, this is going to be your training into becoming a real doctor, not just in the hospital, but in the battlefield as well, you will become a battle medic." said Doc.

"If I can't become a hero, maybe I can become the one who saves the heroes. I will become a battle medic" Midoriya thought as he looked at his new arm.
