Chapter one: the day it all happened
"Kaachan, Stop!" Izumi yelled at her former best friend who turned against her when she turned four. She is now six years old.
"Shutup Deku, its your fault anyway. You should know better than to get in my way." He replied to her as he burnt her skin all over again.
she was littered in bruises and burns form all the bullying that has taken place. After not receiving a quirk it seemed as if the world turned against her. Her own mother couldn't even look at her without feeling disgusted. Izumi couldn't blame her. Her mother has lost a lot of friends because of having a defected daughter like her. Her father abandoned them two years ago after hoping she was a late bloomer was busted. He would always have a useless daughter. A daughter who would face the blunt hate of the world she was cursed to live in. The teachers never stopped her classmates from hurting her. It was the natural order of things for the strong to destroy the weak. She was the weak in their eyes. The world's eyes.
"please Kaachan" Izumi whispered as she backed away from him and closer the edge of a cliff. She was in the forest where they normally hang out but an aftermath of a villain attack had made the small ravine much grander. Calling it such seemed wrong.
"ha, 'Please kaachan' what a loser" a mindless follower of kaachan muttered as he watched the pathetic girl try to protect herself uselessly. He knew that the weak should never pretend to be strong. The strong were irritated by false predators.
"dammit Deku, quit acting like a victim. You knew what would happen when you try to make me look like a victim. What if a hero saw huh? I am going to be the greatest hero ever seen." He said and with one final hit the small green haired girl went tumbling off the cliff with a painful scream.
Bakugou was surprised by how long the scream sounded. The steam wasn't so far away the last time they visited. He looked over the ledge and looked down. It didn't look shallow; it was the opposite. The fall had to be that of a twelve story building. The thought that he may have killed someone, someone who he knew, hit him like an eighteen wheeler. He looked for a way to go check on her. Leaving his 'friends' above so he could see the one he knew longer.
"Deku" he yelled looking for his previous friend.
She was no where in sight.

but there was a black cat lying on the ground with slightly charred fur.
"what the fuck" Bakugou said said as he reached for the crispy kitty. The cat looked up at him with familiar viridian eyes. She jumped up and backed away under the elevated root of a creepy oak tree.
"Deku is that you" Bakugou whispered in shock. That cat couldn't e his friend, she was quirkless.
Izumi didn't know what was going on, she thought she was having a nightmare. Her once friend has pushed her off a cliff, chased her down and became way larger than normal. Looming over her live a demonic giant. Reaching to grab her once, to do what can only be more torture. She hid in the convenient cave that was behind her trying to stay away from her monstrous friends.
"Hey Bakugou, is she alright? We didn't kill her right?" One of Bakugou's minions yelled from above distracting him for a moment and Izumi took off running, not even noticing that she was running with her hands and feet. Let alone in the form of a fluffy black cat with charred patches along her side.
"wait, Deku..." Bakugou said as she noticed the cat running and disappearing. He cursed colorfully and took off in her direction. That had to be her, he didn't know how but it had to be. Otherwise she disappeared into nothingness. Either way his quirkless friend had a quirk now. How she got the quirk he had no idea but he will make her tell him how. If she has been faking it all along and decided to wait to pull it over his eyes, he will kill her.
'you almost did'
an eerily voice whispered to him almost making him stop running. He just shook his head. He didn't mean for her to fall so far, he would never really hurt her. He was just helping her know her place. Otherwise she'll be stupid and ty for the hero course. He can't let that happen.
'keep telling yourself that villain'

Izumi has never felt so scared. She was never a tall child but everything looks so big and bright. So scary. The trees that towered over her now appeared to be endless is height and the path she had followed seemed to go on forever. She just wanted to get home. It felt like she took the wrong path, she should be home by now. Thinking she was lost, Izumi turned and headed to the streets where signs could be found. If she was lost than she could ask for directions.
The closer she got to town the louder the noises became. She must be getting sick because the sounds were so loud, the made her ears twitched back in pain. She just shook her head and decided to hurry and when she did it was horrible. It was as if she shrunk. Everyone towered over her and the cars. They were monstrous. Even in a world of quirks, there shouldn't be so many giants. Something was wrong and Izumi didn't know what all she knew was that she was exhausted and hurt from all her accumulating injuries.
She ran down an ally to find a safe spot and hid behind a giant blue box. A large dumpster.
A loud thud was heard and she ran out afraid the object would hurt her. The sight she saw was rare. The illusive hero Eraserhead was taking down a villain whose hands were stained red. She wished she had her book so she could write everything down. He was so cool and even though he wasn't flashy like Almight he had a certain aura around him. The way he fought was like a dance. When he was finished police showed and took the villain away and Izumi wanted to ask the hero for his opinion on quirklessness.
"meow"
Izumi frowned that was not the sound that she wanted to make and why did she sound so much like a cat. She tried again and again with no success but she did acquire the heroes interest.
"Hello kitten" the hero said as knelt down and petted her between the ears. Ohh that felt nice, Izumi purred. Momentarily forgetting about her problems before yelping as she was picked up by the giant hero.
"You seem young to be without your mother." He said and Izumi nodded she wanted to go to her mama but the world seemed so confusing.
Eraserhead narrowed his eyes at the nod, finding it odd for a kitten to nod.
"are you lost?" another nod.
"are you a cat?" a shake no.
"are you a child?" a nod yes.
Eraserhead sighed and activated his quirk to see what he was dealing with. A runaway? A problem child?
Then Izumi felt herself begin to change back into a small child of six. She felt a little different though. She now had cat ears resting in her nest of ebony green hair and tail poking out from the back of skirt. She was littered in bruises and a few burn marks. She was incredibly skinny as well and smaller than most six year olds.
"What's your name?" Eraserhead asked this time.
"Izumi" then she gasped,
"I can talk and don't sound like a cat anymore. You're not as tall and scary anymore. Everything looks normal again." Izumi raddled on and Eraserhead quirked an eyebrow at her. Was this the first time she transformed and without knowing it.
"what is your quirk?" He asked her and Izumi fumbled with her skirt.
"I'm quirkless" She mumbled out fumbling with her shirt and Aizawa sighed.
"listen kid, you are not quirkless, maybe a late bloomer."
"but the doctor said I was because of an x-ray." Izumi said and Aizawa's eyes widened, that means this was force manifestation. Those were extremely rare and only happen in severe conditions.
"hey kid, how about you come with me for a moment and ill take you home. I need you to tell me everything before 'the world changed'." Aizawa said holding her hand and heading to a police department.
"I, I was following kaachan and his friends, we use to be friends before everyone else got their quirks. He started being mean and pushing me around because I am quirkless or I was?"
'bully, must have a powerful quirk' Aizawa thinks as he nods to the young girl.
"I didn't really mind because mom is always sad and kaachan is so bright, but this time I was pushed off a cliff and it hurt when I landed and when I woke up everything was large and scary. I thought it was nightmare kaachan looked so big towering over me and reaching out to grab me. I ran and ran and the world looked so different that I ended up here instead."
"and these burns?" Aizawa asked her.
"Kaachan sometimes lets his quirk off on me. I don't think he does it on purpose all the time."
"so sometimes?"
"it's a really cool quirk, explosions"
Aizawa frowned at that. Why did she think it was okay?
"Izumi, you no that its not right for him to use his quirk on you right?"
"because I have a quirk now?"
"even before that, he should not have done that. It is illegal quirk use and harming a civilian. It's the act of a villain."
"but no one ever told him to stop and he wants to be a hero."
'damn them' Aizawa thinks.
"did kaachan give you all these bruises as well" he asked looking her over a little more.
"Not all of them, some are from others." Izumi replied as they entered the building and went to Sansa Tamakawa's desk.
"Hey Aizawa, who you have here."
"I found a lost child who apparently just had a force manifestation. Is Naomasa here?" Aizawa asked as he pushed Izumi towards Sansa-san.
"Yes sir, he is in his office with Endeavour right now. property damage control." Sansa replied as he looked over at the young cat like girl.
"of course" Aizawa said as he sat down and Izumi followed him.
Sansa watched as Izumi squirmed and switched from trying to look into Naomasa's office to see Endeavour and trying to copy Eraserhead's posture. It was actually quite adorable especially with the way her ears would twitch and move. They were so expressive, more so than his own. Eraserhead looked at the girl as she was trying to copy him and her getting caught caused her ears to bend as low as they could and her cheeks to blush. Her tail shook side to side, making sweeping sounds making it easy for everyone to know that the young neko was in the room. This continued on for a few minutes until Endeavour finally exited the office.
Izumi stared at the hero with so many questions in her mind about the hero. Like if he always has a fire beard and if so how do you shave it from being too long. How long can he hold flames in the rain and ice. Could he take back the flames he throws and how about the destruction left in his wake. Her stare was intense and she opened her mouth to ask before realizing he already left.
Huh? He must be busy…
"lets go." Eraserhead said as they went into Naomasa's office.
The room was dimly lit with several lamps around the desk. The desk was covered in piles of paper and the man seemed to be forcing himself to straighten up. He looked tired to Izumi. There were two metal chairs in front of the desk where Eraserhead was already sitting down and looked at Izumi pointedly and she shuffled over to the chair beside him and fell on her face. She looked up embarrassed and sneezed. When she sneezed she transformed back into a cat. In small kitten form. She jumped onto the chair and transformed back into human form. Obviously lacking control of an adorable quirk.
"Well hello Eraserhead" Naomasa said with a small smile on his lips. The girl's antics were quite cute.
"This lost child has a force manifested quirk." Eraserhead informed and Naomasa frowned at that. Whenever anyone had a force manifested quirk, that means something bad has been happening for a while and in an effort to protect their lives they force activated a dormant gene that all humans have.
"I see, before we start we should alert the child's guardian and depending on certain facets of the situation we'll start on a plan to help young…" The detective paused and looked at the young girl.
"Midoriya Izumi" she said looking up at the detective and watching him cautiously. She hopes her mom doesn't get too upset at being called about her useless daughter.
"Midoriya-chan, please wait a minute while I contact your mother, you can go sit beside Sansa-san while we get this worked out okay?" Naomasa said with a calm tone and Izumi nodded and headed over the cat like man outside of the office. When she left the office Naomasa shut the door and called the mother. Eraserhead waited patiently, knowing that there was much more to discuss about the situation ahead.
"Hello Midoriya-san this is detective Naomasa with Musutafu police department. We found your daughter. (pause) no she did not cause any trouble. No she is not hurt. (pause) be that as it may, I would like you to come here and pick her up and I would like to speak with you. (pause) No, there isn't any charges on your daughter. (pause) It is just your daughter and the hero that found her. (pause) Yes I will see you when you get here Midoriya-san." Naomasa let out a breath as he hung up the phone.
"She will be here in 15 minutes give or take."
" I take it she didn't seem too concern on the phone." Eraserhead said and Naomasa nodded.
"asked why her daughter couldn't just walk herself home."
"hm"
"I am a little more worried about the situation."
"and the girl doesn't seem to have a high regard for her health either."
"when her mother gets here we will know more."
"but?"
"a force manifested quirk can be unpredictable and powerful. They have been known to influence the user quite drastically and on all documented cases they either die from insanity or depression."
"or"
"or they become villains who hate what society made them."
