AN: Guess who's back, back again! With a new story! Well here it is, Izuku has the powers of The Flash! All rights reserved to DC comics of course. I got big plans for this and just to let you know there might be crossovers! So without further adieu let's just jump into it!

Tragedy

Izuku Midoriya, 4 years old, son of Hisashi and Inko Midoriya. The three of them lived happily, until it all started to fall apart.

The two loving parents were currently in the doctor's office, little Izuku was running around the office with his All Might action figure that he loved to carry around. "Izuku sweety slow down, you are going to fall," said Inko.

Hisashi laughed, "It's alright dear, let him run around. Just make sure not to knock anything down, alright Izuku?"

Izuku stopped and nodded, "I won't! I'm just really excited to find out what kind of quirk I'll have!"

"He sure is energetic isn't he?" asked the doctor as he walked into the room.

"Yeah he is," said Inko. "Alright Izuku, time to sit down."

Izuku nodded and quickly sat down, "Good, now let's get onto what you came here for."

"So what kind of quirk does my son have? My wife can attract things and I can breathe fire. Izuku here also has dreams of becoming a hero." said Hisashi.

The doctor looked at his charts, "Unfortunately Izuku here won't develop a quirk."

The entire Midoriya family's eyes went wide, "I-I'm sorry what?" asked Inko.

"Let me explain." reaching into the folder the doctor pulled out an xray of Izuku's foot. "You see, those with quirks have only one joint in their pinky toe, while those without quirks have two. In Izuku's case he has two joints. Which in all likeness means that he will not have any powers. Sorry kid, but you can't be a hero."

Izuku dropped his All Might action figure, "Thank you doc, we'll see ourselves out." The family then got up and walked out of the doctor's office.

The car ride home was quiet, after a few minutes the family got home. Entering Izuku didn't say a word but slowly made his way into the other room where he had a computer on.

Taking a seat he began to watch videos of All Might. The two parents stood at the doorway as their son watched the video. Half way through the video Izuku spoke but didn't turn around, "Mom, Dad, can I still become a hero. Like All Might?"

Inko immediately ran towards her son and hugged him. "I'm so sorry Izuku! I'm so sorry!'

Hisashi stood at the doorway looking at Izuku, 'I'm sorry kid, but I don't think you can be a hero. But you sure as hell can be something else.'

A week had gone by since Izuku got the fateful news, the once energetic boy was now sitting quietly on the sofa. It was the weekend so this meant everyone was home, Inko was reading a book and Hisashi was washing dishes. After moments of silence Hisashi couldn't take it anymore, "Alright kid, let's go." Walking over to the sofa, Hisashi stopped in front of Izuku. "Go get your shoes on, and wear something comfortable."

Izuku looked at his father confused, "Where are we going?"

Hisashi smiled, "We are going on a run."

"A run?" asked Izuku. He looked over to his mother who nodded, "Alright…"

As Izuku went to change Inko got up and walked up to her husband, "Do you think he'll be fine?"

"I-I don't know, but what Izuku needs right now is something to distract him. Maybe he can find that in running." explained Hisashi.

Once he was done changing Izuku met his father outside. "Alright sport, let's get started."

"Where are we going exactly?" Asked Izuku.

Hisashi smiled, "You'll see, now an important thing about running is that you should keep a steady pace. If you go all out in the beginning you'll get tired easily. Got it?"

"I think so?" Said Izuku, still slightly confused.

"Good enough, let's go!" With that the two began to jog down the stairs and onto the main street.

After what felt like hours but in reality was only 30 minutes, and due to the fact that Izuku was still a kid and had nowhere near the amount of stamina Hisashi had, they finally made it to their destination, the beach.

With sweat staining his shirt and dripping down his forehead Izuku was picked up by his father. "So that was difficult right?"

Catching his breath Izuku nodded, "Y-Yeah, why did we do this?"

"Before I answer that, look." Hisashi then pointed forward.

Turning his head, Izuku's eyes widened, "Wow!"

There in front of him was the red glow of the setting sun as it dipped under the horizon. "Beautiful isn't it?" Izuku nodded, "That's why I told you to come. I wanted to show you that even though the journey getting here was tough, in the end it was worth it. That's how life is going to be for you Izuku. There will be times that you feel like quitting but always remember, one step at a time, and don't ever look back."

Being a kid Izuku didn't fully understand the magnitude of those words but in time, maybe he will. As father and son watched the sun disappear Izuku tapped his dad on the shoulder, "Hey dad, I don't know if I can become a good hero like All Might, but I still want to try."

Hisashi smiled, "That's the best place to start kid, first we have to decide if we want to start or not. Come on, we should head home, your mom is probably worried sick."

A Few Years Later

Izuku was excited, today was a special day. It was his 11th birthday. Hisashi took the day off and Inko was at home baking a cake. Izuku was running down the street alone.

After he turned 10 and after some convincing from Hisashi, Inko finally allowed Izuku to go running on his own. Stopping at the same beach his father took him years prior he took a deep breath and took in the cold salty sea air. "I can't wait to eat mom's cake! I should probably head back now."

Turning around Izuku began to head home, these last couple of years life wasn't easy for him. This was especially true in school, after the kids found out he was quirkless they began to pick on him. The worst one of them being his childhood friend Bakugo Katsuki.

Izuku would constantly come home with burns and bruises from the bullying. Inko and Hisashi even went to the principal to complain but nothing was ever done. They suspected that it was because of Bakugo's quirk, it was strong and he himself wanted to be a hero. After multiple attempts the parents finally got something done by switching him to another classroom but even there he would be picked on.

But it was like his father said, one step at a time and never look back. Even though it sucked Izuku was still happy, he had parents that loved him even without a quirk.

As Izuku got closer to his home he began to see several police cars zooming past him, followed by heroes. "Huh, I wonder what happened?" Izuku was casually walking down the street when all of a sudden he turned his head to the left and for a split second Izuku could see a red lightning crackle streak past him. His eyes widened as through the lightning he could see a face. As the object left his sight another green streak of lightning quickly followed.

"Huh, was that a hero?" he asked himself as he turned the corner, but as he did Izuku's eyes widened, from the street he could see that his apartment door was taped off. Izuku feared the worst, 'No no no…'

Running up the stairs he tried to get past the cops but was stopped by one of them. "Sorry kid you can't be here." Izuku looked up to see a tall man wearing a trench coat and hat.

Izuku struggled against the officer, "I live here! What happened, are my parents alright?"

"You live here?" The officer then placed a hand on both of Izuku's shoulders. "Listen to me kid, my name is detective Naomasa. What I'm about to say may not be easy to hear but…"

However, before Naomasa could say anything two other officers were taking Hisashi in handcuffs away. Izuku was confused, "Dad?"

Hisashi turned to see Izuku, "Oh my god, Izuku, thank goodness you're safe. Listen I love you son, no matter what I love you, don't you ever forget that. And remember what I said, one step at a time and never look back. Promise me you'll do that. Okay, promise me!"

Before Izuku could respond the officers took Hisashi away. Breaking free from Naomasa's grasp, Izuku ran into his home to find a white cloth covering someone on the floor. Looking around he could see that the floor was charred and scorched.

Walking over to the sheet Izuku kneeled down and reached for the end of it. Slowly he began to pull away the sheet to reveal his mother, dead.

Izuku couldn't believe it, touching her shoulder he began to shake her gently, "Mom…Mom! Hey come on wake up! Mom! Please don't go...mom." tears began to fall as Izuku shook Inko more, but he knew she was gone.

Sobbing and with tears hitting the floor Izuku looked up to see a cake on the table. That's when Naomasa walked up behind Izuku and covered Inko with the sheet, "Izuku was it? Come on, let's get you out of here and somewhere safe. Do you have any family members we can call?"

Standing up and with tears in his eyes Izuku shook his head, "N-No, if..if only I was faster I could have saved mom. Mom would still be alive…"

As Izuku was being taken to a police car, Mitsuki and Masura Bakugo both ran up to him. "Izuku!" These were the parents of Bakugo, his childhood friend.

Looking up, Izuku saw them, "Aunie, Uncle…" seeing them caused a sudden surge of sadness to wash over Izuku. "Mom..she's...she's…"

That's when Mitsuki hugged Izuku, "I know dear, I know."

"Izuku, I thought you didn't have any relatives. Who are you?" asked Naomasa.

Masura then stood forward, "We aren't family, we are close family friends." Naomasa nodded, "Where are you taking Izuku?"

"We are going down to the police station, after that we are going to call child protective services. Izuku will most likely be taken under their protection." explained Naomasa.

Mitsuki's eyes widened, "NO! You are not taking Izuku away."

"Ma'am, we have no choice. With no other family Izuku has to go with them." explained Naomasa once again.

However Mitsuki wouldn't let that happen, "Never! We can take care of him! Isn't that right dear?"

Masura looked at his wife and saw that she was more determined than ever, he sighed and turned to Naomasa. "Is it possible to take care of Izuku? Besides his parents, he's known us longer than anyone."

Naomasa thought about it, "It's not really my area but I think we can do something about that. That is, if Izuku wants to."

Everyone turned to Izuku, he thought about it for a second. Even though Bakugo was mean to him his parents were always kind to him. "I want to stay with them."

Naomasa nodded, "I have a hero friend that may be able to help with this. But first come with us down to the station, there are a few questions we'd like answered."

Down at the Police Station

Izuku was taken to a lobby where he was told to wait, soon someone would come and talk to him. Still in shock and scared, Izuku turned to one source of comfort, videos of All Might. Pulling out his phone he began to watch his videos, after a while Naomasa walked into the lobby, "A fan of All Might?"

Looking up, Izuku nodded, "Yeah, he's my favorite hero."

"I see, he's my favorite too. Izuku, listen, is it okay if I ask you a few questions? After you answer them Mr. and Mrs. Bakugo will be able to take you home." said Naomasa.

"Okay." said Izuku in an empty voice.

"Do you know if your parents were fighting or arguing the night before?" asked Naomasa.

Izuku tilted his head, "No, they rarely argued."

Naomasa nodded, "Has your dad ever hurt you?"

Izuku's eyes widened when he noticed what Naomasa meant with that question, "You think dad had something to do with mom's death?" Naomasa stayed quiet which only confirmed Izuku's suspicions. Getting up from his seat Izuku balled his fist, "You're wrong! My parents loved each other, dad wouldn't ever do something like that."

"I believe you, you want to know how? My quirk, I can tell when someone is lying and what you just said was the truth. But there were no signs of a struggle or even a break in. the only ones in your home were your mom and dad." explained Naomasa.

"Still my dad loved my mom! Even after they found out I was quirkless they still loved me!" yelled out Izuku through sobs.

"You're quirkless?" Naomasa then got a call on his phone. After the call he turned to Izuku, "It seems like the paperwork is all done. You will be staying with Mr. and Mrs. Bakugo for the time being. Come, I'll take you to them."

Now under their care Izuku went home with them. "Izuku dear, if you need anything just tell us. You can have the guest room. It may be small but it should work out." Said Mitsuki.

Izuku simply nodded and responded, "Thanks auntie…" before going back to looking out the window.

3 Years Later

Now 14 years old Izuku was living a somewhat normal life. He was currently in middle school, sitting in his class with his head down. Everyone else around him was loud and talking to one another. "Hey Deku, are you alive?" Asked someone tapping on his shoulder.

Getting up Izuku turned around to find Bakugo, "Kachan? What's up?"

Over the years and the fact that they were living together the two once again grew a bond. Yes Bakugo would still pick on him but it was more in a playful manner. "Didn't get much sleep, up all night again with your girlfriend?" Asked Bakugo with a smirk on his face.

Izuku blushed slightly, "She's not my girlfriend, but yes we stayed up all night again working on stuff."

Throwing his arm around Izuku, Bakugo began to tease, "You sure the two of you weren't making babies?"

"Y-You know that's just her way of saying building stuff! Don't misunderstand!" Said Izuku as he pushed Bakugo's arm off.

"Alright alright, just wanted to make sure." Explained Bakugo.

"Sure about what?" Asked Izuku.

Bakugo's face turned serious, "Still want to go to UA to be a hero?"

Izuku looked Bakugo in the eyes, "Yes."

"Even though you have no quirk?" Asked Bakugo.

"Yes, I've been training every day you know. My stamina is amazing thanks to all the running I've done and thanks to all the junk at the lab I've been gaining some muscle." Explained Izuku.

"You're going to get hurt." Said Bakugo.

"I don't care," said Izuku.

Bakugo clicked his tongue, "Damn it Deku! You know you can't be a hero, why even try? You are like the smartest guy I know, you can join the support department or something."

Izuku balled his fists, "It's what mom would have wanted! Besides, if I become a hero I can find out who killed her and finally get my dad out of jail!"

In the months following Inko's death Hisashi was tried and found guilty of killing his own wife. Izuku even spoke to the jury and told them that his father only ever loved them. But alas the circumstantial evidence was piled against him. Eventually he was found guilty and sentenced to 35 to life in prison.

After the trial Izuku would be fully under the Bakugo family care. Making sure to not let Izuku forget his father Mitsuki would go down to the prison once a week with Izuku to visit his father. Their time was limited and the only way they could see each other was through a glass panel, but it would do for now. Every week on a Saturday, at 12 pm, Izuku would visit his father and talk about the week. And every time Izuku went to visit his father he would always say this right before he left, "I promise you, I'll get you out one day and then we'll be a family again."

Bakugo sighed, "Please, just think about what I said. I don't want you to end up like…"

However before Bakugo could finish Izuku snapped, "Like who Bakugo?"

Seeing Izuku mad scared Bakugo, "Never mind, just try to get home before it's dark okay. See ya."

Izuku watched Bakugo leave the classroom, soon Izuku would also leave but he wouldn't go home yet. Instead Izuku ran down to the beach, but it wasn't any normal one, this one was covered in trash and metal. Climbing over the piles of metal he eventually came upon a makeshift hut with a glass roof, going inside he found several beakers of liquid along with several prototype gear. "Hey Hatsume! Are you here?" Izuku called out.

As Izuku looked around, a hand suddenly appeared from a pile of scrap metal, "I'm here!" said a voice. "Can you help me out, I'm a bit stuck here."

Izuku sighed as he walked over to the pile and grabbed the person's hand, pulling he managed to free the person. "How many times do I have to tell you to be careful? This is the 4th time I have found you like this."

A girl with pink colored thick dreadlocks and green-yellow eyes appeared. She wore a black tank top, had a workshop overalls wrapped around her waist, and goggles on her head. "Sorry about that, I was taking apart a fridge when the pile fell over."

"Wait…I just noticed, how did you get here before I did?" Izuku narrowed his eyes, "Did you ditch school again?"

Hatsume froze up, "W-What, nooo…"

"Hatsume, did you ditch school?" asked Izuku.

"I-I called in sick. So no harm no foul." said Hatsume with a grin.

Izuku sighed, "Whatever, as long as you get into UA it's fine. So, what are you working on?"

"I'm working on a chemical compound that will super harden in an instant!" said Hatsume excitedly. "Although, most of my attempts have failed."

"I'm sure you'll get it soon enough. In the meantime you should probably start cleaning up. Especially these chemicals over here. Why are these even out here?" Asked Izuku. The chemicals he was talking about were in clear glass containers and on a shelf.

"Oh those are the chemicals I'm using for anything I have planned." Explained Hatsume. "I'll clean it up later, promise."

Izuku sighed, "Alright fine, come on them let's head out. I'll buy you something to eat on the way back."

Hatsume frowned, "But my babies."

"They will be here tomorrow, you need a break and I'm hungry so let's go." Pouting Hatsume cleaned herself off and headed out.

Several minutes later Izuku and Hatsume walked out of the convenience store with meat buns in hand. "Thanks for the food Midoriya." Said Hatsume as he took a bite out of her bun.

"No problem, this is probably the first thing you've eaten in a couple of days right?" Hatsume stayed silent. "Thought so, I swear one day you'll work yourself to death."

"But before that I will go down as the world's greatest support gear maker in UA!" Said Hatsume with a smile.

Izuku's eyes softened, "Right, UA."

Seeing that Izuku's mood changed, Hatsume thought of a way to distract him. "Hey want to take a shortcut home?" She asked, pointing down an alley.

"I mean, sure? I don't see why we don't take our normal route though." Izuku shrugged but followed Hatsume down the alley.

As they were walking however they didn't know that something was watching them. "Well what do we have here? Two fresh bodies for me to pick. Hmm, I think I'll go with the guy." Said as a villain made of sludge as he stuck to the wall.

"I'm telling you Midoriya it's going to work." Said Hatsume, slightly frustrated.

"I'm telling you it's not, the amount of tensile strength you'll need to make that is off the charts. And even if you made something like that you'll never be able to incorporate it properly. The machine will break from the stress." Said Izuku as he argued with Hatsume.

Hatsume groaned, "My babies won't break! I know my babies since I created them."

Izuku raised an eyebrow, "Oh yeah? What about baby number 34?" Hatsume's face scrunched up, "Oh and 41, 52, 56, want me to keep going?"

"Alright alright, geeze, no need to kick me while I'm down." Said Hatsume.

Izuku laughed, "Just trying to tell you to slow down, enjoy life, and try not to blow yourself up. It's like my dad told me, one step at a time and don't ever look back."

"Your dad sounds wise kid, too bad for you. You'll never see him again." Turning around Izuku was suddenly snatched up by the sludge villain.

"Midoriya!" Yelled out Hatsume. The villain then began to try to invade Izuku's body.

As he did Izuku began to move around trying to fight back, "Hey kid stay still, you'll only make things worse for yourself. I just need your body, I don't really need you awake."

Feeling his airway starting to be blocked, Izuku's vision began to fade. 'Sorry dad, mom, I couldn't do anything in my life. Even now I'm so helpless.'

Hatsume was about to jump in to do something but before she could a booming voice was heard behind them. "Hahaha, your time is up villain. Why? Because I am here!"

Turning around Hatsume smiled, "No way."

There standing at the end of the alley was a tall and muscular man with yellow hair, this was All Might the number one hero. The sludge villain's eyes widened, "Ahh hell, I thought I got away from you!"

All Might laughed. "No one can escape me. Now, let's finish this shall we?" Pulling back his massive fist All Might dashed towards the villain, now in close All Might threw his fist forward. He didn't even make contact, the sheer wind pressure from his fist was enough to send the villain splattering towards the wall and get Izuku free from his grasp.

Catching Izuku before All Might put the boy down, "Hey kid you alright?"

Coughing out pieces of sludge, Izuku looked up, instantly he recognised who it was, "A-All Might!?"

"Yeah that's me! So are you alright?" asked All Might.

"Midoriya! Are you hurt? Please say no, we wouldn't want your ideas going to waste." said Hatsume running up to him and checking if he was alright.

Izuku rolled his eyes, "My head is fine, and I'm fine too. Thanks All Might."

"It's what I do kid," said All Might with a smile.

Izuku then reached into his backpack and pulled out a notebook, "If it's not too much trouble, can you sign my notebook?"

"Of course!" Grabbing the notebook All Might took up two pages signing his name. He then handed it back to Izuku, walking over to the villain. All Might found an empty bottle and put the villain inside, "There you are, now if you'd excuse me, I must go. Farewell!"

Turning around All Might was about to jump into the air, "Wait! I have a question!" yelled out Izuku as he jumped at All Might at the last second.

Hatsume watched as Izuku grabbed onto All Might's leg and disappeared into the sky. "Midoriya, what the heck are you doing? Oh well, nothing I can do about it now. I should probably head home, I'll call Midoriya later. Still though, it looks like it's going to rain." High above her dark clouds began to roll in.

Now in mid air All Might felt something grabbing his leg, looking down he was shocked to see Izuku latched on, "What the hell kid, are you crazy!? Let me go!"

"I-If I do that I'll fall!" said Izuku as he held on for dear life.

"Oh right, alright hold on I'll land." Sliding atop of a roof the two landed safely. "Never do that again kid, again sorry but I have to go."

Izuku reached out, "Wait, all I want is to ask you a question."

All Might began to cough, "I don't have much time kid…"

Closing his eyes Izuku mustered up the courage to ask, "Please I just want to know if I can become a hero without a quirk?"

But that's when it happened, All Might ran out of time, "Shit…" suddenly a puff of white smoke appeared around the hero.

Izuku opened his eyes to see a very thin, frail looking man, "Who the heck are you!?"

Fanning the smoke away the man spoke, "It's me All Might." Izuku couldn't believe it. "Man I didn't expect for someone to find out about this."

"W-What happened to you? The All Might I know is strong." said Izuku.

All Might sighed, "Well since you already know this much might as well show you." Raising his shirt All Might showed Izuku a horrendous wound on his side. "Pretty nasty right, I got in a fight with a villain years ago. My entire respiratory and digestive tracts are in shambles, not to mention that my stomach is all but gone. As of now I can only be a hero for a few hours at most."

Izuku couldn't believe it, the image of the invincible All Might he had in his head was now shattered. "Listen kid, don't go around telling people this, it's a pretty well kept secret." All Might then began to walk toward a door on the roof. "As for your question, no, I don't think you can be a hero without a quirk. It's too dangerous, you can be a cop or something. It's not as glamorous as a hero but they do good work also. Anyway I'll see you kid."

Now alone on the roof and with dark clouds covering the city Izuku clenched his fist, "Not again,"

Walking down the building Izuku decided to go, not home, but rather back to the beach. As he walked down the streets it suddenly began to rain, but Izuku didn't care. Finally making it to the beach he went straight into the makeshift hut, grabbing a towel on one of the workbenches he dried himself off.

That's when Izuku's phone suddenly began to ring, reaching into his pocket, he noticed that it was Hatsume. Sighing, he decided to pick it up, "Hello."

"Midoriya! Where are you? The rain suddenly came down, did you make it home?" asked Hatsume.

"No, I'm back at the beach. I'm taking shelter inside the hut right now." explained Izuku.

Hatsume noticed something in Izuku's voice, "Midoriya, are you alright? You sound kind of down."

Izuku stayed silent for a couple of seconds before forcing himself to smile, "It's nothing really."

Hatsume didn't believe him, "I don't believe you. I'm going down to the beach now."

"No don't!" said Izuku a little too quickly. "I mean, it's raining and I wouldn't want you to get sick. Besides, if you come here, I'll make you clean up."

Hatsume groaned, "Fine, but if anything is bothering you, you know you can talk to me right?"

"I know, I just need time, that's all. Thanks Hatsume, really thank you." said Izuku.

"Of course! I'll always be on your side Midoriya no matter what." said Hatsume, which made Izuku smile.

But just as he was going to respond Izuku looked towards the containers of chemicals and noticed that they were floating? The liquid inside the beakers looked like they just lost their gravity and were floating in the air. "What the?"

That's when it happened, looking up Izuku's eyes widened when he could see something crash through the glass roof shattering it. Whatever it was, it managed to hit Izuku and throw him into the batch of chemicals. Glass and metal pieces scattered the floor as Izuku lay seemingly unconscious and with cuts over his body.

The last thing Hatsume heard was a loud boom followed by crashing, " Midoriya! Hey Midoriya! Are you there! Oh no..."

AN: Well what do you guys think? Izuku as the FLASH! Ahhhhhh! Anyway this story should update every other week so keep that in mind! Some of you may be asking yourself why does Izuku know Hatsume this early on, well it's simple...cause I wanted it like that. I got plans for here, just you wait.
