May as well dive off a 's plan had started off well, making it through year one easily, although the workout regimen was kicking his ass. He started with five minutes of jump rope, then a 3 Km run, following that up with 100 sit ups, push ups, and crutches, then a 10 minute plank and wall sit. On top of that Deku also started to shadow box for about fifteen minutes a day on top of everything else. It was killing his body, but it was worth it. After buying the books he needed to study for the next three years, he started saving as much money as possible from his allowance.

It was finally time for it to start, the building of the Mini-Lab. It would mostly just be tools stored in a homemade case to hide it all. Deku ended up with a few power tools along with a welder and soldering iron. Although those two tools won't be usable here, rather once he gets his mobile lab up and running.

It was time to design his first tool. All Deku could think of was just upgrading something that already exists, so that's exactly what he did. He opened up his closet and started to look through every single street hero, or those without powers, and read about each of their tools. A grapple hook looked like a great idea, but the issue is that human muscles alone won't be able to support swinging through the city, and he would need more time to study before he would be able to make something to support himself. He looked through the most famous street hero of them all, Batman. He was considered smart enough to be a DC metahuman. He created a symbol that he used to strike fear, the Bat. Deku thought he needed something like that. A symbol of his own, opposite but the same as All Might, the number one hero. 'If All Might is the pillar of hope, a ray of light in the dark, one might call him the Sun. So I will be the Moon.' Deku thought to himself, as he started to draw up a blueprint. It was in the shape of a crescent moon.

Two Months Later

Deku had made himself a basic outfit to go on his secret adventures away from home at night. A simple black spotted and green shirt, a satchel, black mask to cover his lower face, and a hood with a long black cloak, reminiscent of Batman's own cowl. He had taken the liberty of using his new skills to find the ATM unlock times of a bank one town over. Anyone suspicious of Deku would be answered with a simple, "It's because of my quirk, I can't show my face in public," or "I got into an accident when I was younger and don't like showing off my face," if it was someone with the authority to make him remove his mask. He realized just how easy it was to lie, and make up a short and simple story to get people away from you. Make them uncomfortable. Anyone would not want to talk about something that makes someone completely unable to look or act how others define as normal. It makes them just want to shut up and pretend that they weren't there.

Deku waited for nightfall as the guards came to open and add money to the ATM machine. Deku took what he knew and snuck up on the guard near the front, and wrapped his arms around the man's throat. He held on tightly and covered the guards mouth with his other arm. It took longer than Deku had thought it would, but the first guard was out cold and hadn't seen him. Of course, Deku hadn't thought it would be this soon for his first crime, but in order to build the tool he needed, he would need to acquire a large sum of money. As he moved to take out the second guard, he saw that he was already on the ground, and turned to see a man standing there in a purple suit, with a beige scarf, and a cigarette in between a gap in his teeth. He had silver or possibly grey hair, and purplish lensed glasses. "Ah a rising criminal in the dust? Well this was going to be our steal, but I guess we could share a bit. What are you doing stealing at such a young age, boy?"

Deku was just shocked. Someone else who was most likely a real villain just helped or possibly just didn't care. "Wait let's start at the beginning, why are you fine with sharing?"

"Well kiddo, I need some money for a project and I noticed you already started this heist. Although we have been planning it for a few weeks." The man looked grumpy. Almost upset that a kid out shined him.

"Wait, it took you weeks to plan this? It took me two hours! You guys are using tools that the modern era are full of right? I hacked the cameras in the area and put them on a loop, each one waiting for a moment where no one or thing was moving in it. You really took weeks for this?" It took Deku a second to realize what he had just said, to a pro villain no less. He quickly covered his mouth with his hands. He wasn't ready to fight someone with a quirk, yet. The man started laughing lightly.

"Don't worry kiddo, you're a future client I'm not going to get angry at you. In fact it's impressive that you were able to do this much on your own. You've got balls, kid and I like it. Come work for me sometime, maybe we can plan and commit a crime in one day!" The man took out a small crappy flip phone and handed it to Deku. 'A Burner?' Is what Deku thought as the man started to talk. "My codename is already saved as a contact, as well as a meeting location set in the address and the number for my own burner." Deku just looked at the phone, then looked up as the man's hand was on his face. The next morning he was in bed, with a note hidden in his bag along with quite a bit of money. Next time kiddo, don't bring your ID with you to the scene of a crime.

Deku wanted to slap himself in the face. Of course he shouldn't have brought his ID to a crime scene. That was just dumb. At least he got some money to build his first tool. He pulled up his mini lab box and started to look through the blueprints. He quickly realized he had not finished any of them except one. He didn't have the know how to fill in the blanks yet. So he went to the nearest tech store and looked around. Deku was crouching down reading about the processors. He needed something extremely powerful. The best parts about corner tech stores, were you could find all kinds of new and interesting things, and… "They Never ask where a kid would get this kind of money!" Deku was shocked by a sudden loud femminine voice next to his ear. "That was it right? I knew what you were gonna say and I went ahead and finished it for you!" Deku was shocked. Not only because he was mumbling out loud, which if he continued to commit crime he would have to stop, and that a girl just finished what he was saying loudly, as well as in his ear. In fact he was so startled that he had fallen from a crouch, to on his ass.

"Excuse me? Who are you?" Deku looked up to a girl with yellow eyes staring into his and pink hair almost floating around her head. She was wearing a black tank top, with overalls to match as well as black boots. She was really in his face. Deku fell back again this time onto his back.

"I'm Mei Hatsume! Nice to meet you. I plan on working in the support item development in UA." He looked at the girl again, then stood up.

"Could you back up a step please?"

"No. Why are you looking at processors? What are you trying to build?" She stepped even closer, her yellow eyes wide. He could make out what looked like crosshairs in her eyes.

"Secret. Do you always try to bug other people?" Deku snarked. He backed up a couple of steps.

"Yep, Tell what you are building pleeeeeease!" She stepped even closer. Deku hit the wall.

"Back up. Now." Deku said, shaking slightly. He never really liked being cornered after all those years is Bakugou.

"I'll back up if you tell me what you are building." Mei said mockingly. At this point Deku grabbed her by the shoulders and spun around, slamming her into the wall.

"Don't try and corner me." He pinned her against the wall as she started to laugh. He then let her go.

"You know you're pretty weird. You are the first kid my age I've seen anywhere near these kinds of shotty back alley stores. Here, reach out to me every now and then." She somewhat professionally handed him a business card. "Let's make some really cool babies sometime!" Deku just blushed and got flustered really quick.

"What do you mean by that?" He said his voice quivering as he put his hands up defensively. She just smirked and laughed.

"I mean whenever you're done building your current baby show it off and let's make a few more together!" She left the store and just walked away.

Deku had no clue what wandered through her mind. He had to guess that by babies she meant her inventions. He had no idea what drove her to act like that but at least she was gone. Deku went back through the section he was looking around in and picked out the most powerful processor he could afford.

Deku went back home and pulled out his mini lab. He had already gotten all the other things he would need to make his tool. He measured out his wrist carefully. He hammered out metal and welded on hinges, making sure it would fit snugly. He added an area for wiring and his new processor. He cautiously laid wiring through the ports as well as adding a few retractable wires on the side. Each one with a different port or plug that is used for most tech. He took the inspiration for this toll from Batman himself. A small yet frighteningly powerful computer strapped to his wrist, as well as having the option to hack almost anything. He screwed on the last part of the fold-able keyboard and strapped it on. It was done. His first and most likely most important tool.

It was time to get back to studying and building. For now with this basic and clunky piece of shit he was set. Deku went outside to get some fresh air and go for a stroll. Along the way he heard a familiar loud voice, along with the crackling of several small explosions. Deku slowly turned around and faced his biggest fear, Bakugo. His puffy and spiky blonde hair shooting up and his devilish smile wide as ever. "Deku, where ya been buddy? I haven't seen you since Elementary School. Did you not want to go to middle school with your best bud?"

Deku froze. He knew that he couldn't fight Bakugo yet and that if he tried to stand up to him, it might end up in a fight. He stood there quietly and nodded, sweat dripping down his face. "Ah that makes me sad Deku, come on, hand over some money so we can go to lunch together and catch up." Deku nodded and took out his wallet, only to remember that it was currently empty. He shook his head and showed Bakugo the empty wallet. "So useless you don't even have money huh? What a waste of space and time." Bakugo walked away as Deku started to tear up.

"I'm not worthless. I will do amazing things." Deku spoke softly, catching Bakugo's attention.

"What was that? Deku you piece of shit?" Bakugo turned back and let his crackling explosions off yet again. His eyebrows scrunched down showing off his anger. "You won't do shit. Watch." Bakugo slammed his hand onto Deku's face and let his quirk rip, knocking Deku a good few feet back. "I'll be a hero, and you will be stuck here on the ground like the spineless Zero you are. May as well dive off a roof." Bakugo walked away and laughed, sticking his hands in his pockets.

It was at this point Deku decided. He wouldn't be a hero at all. If someone like Bakugo can survive and thrive as a hero, then they just shouldn't exist. The easy solution would be to topple the Japanese style of Hero Work and move to a more American one. One where Heroes do the deed out of the goodness of their hearts, and police are authorized to use their quirks. I mean thinking about it, Deku can't be attacked by a hero. He doesn't classify in the Japanese Legal Definition of a Villain. Only the police can go after him, once they find out he doesn't have a quirk. They would need to make a whole new addition onto the hero work documents just for heroes to fight him. He could use this to his advantage. A very devious idea occurred. What point would he make, if heroes can't touch him and he just out ran the police. He would have to make sure that they thought he had a quirk. Or two or three. He got out his Quirk Biology and Biochem books, and got to studying. He had a long year ahead of him.

Author's Note Here

Heyo! I'm ninjabear and I write three fics currently and one original story on fiction press under the same name. I was hoping you few readers could leave some quirk ideas as well as gadgets you would like to see Deku make. I have a ton of plans, and if someone suggests something I like I'll give them credit when it comes in. I would also like to say I am sorry about the gap in time, between Trying to find and job and being stuck inside with family, everything is hectic.
