"He wouldn't like me, would he?"
Chapter 1: "Your Quirk isn't cool"
"Are you ready for your first day of elementary school, my dear?", her mother asked. She jumped up and down, because finally she could show people what cool quirk she inherited from her father. Her brother smiled at her and patted her on the head, making her laugh and grin.
"You'll be a pretty good team of heroes later in life, my cuties. Now, let's go to school you two.", their father said. The children, happy as can be walked to school, both having their first day at the new school, her brother visiting middle school. Before he went to school, he brought his sister to school.
"I don't want you to leave, Shota. Please stay!", she pleaded, but to no avail. Shota just smiled at her and walked her to her classroom.
"I'll pick you up after school, Sakura. I hope you have fun and find a lot of new friends.", he ruffled through her black hair and left, leaving his little sister in the care of her teacher. Because it was a public school, quirks weren't allowed to be used, that's what Sakura understood, but still she wanted to show people what she can do.
"Alright class,", the teacher started. "we are going to make an introduction round. We start with the young Miss Aizawa."
Sakura panicked a bit but stood up and stated: "I'm Sakura Aizawa, I'm 6 years old and my Quirk is called 'Wings'. I dream of one day be a Hero like my parents and my brother. He is the coolest"
Her classmate looked at her in silence until one boy said: "Your Quirk is lame. My Quirk is a lot cooler, I can manipulate water."
Everyone joined in in mocking her and making fun of her, so she sat down again and didn't say anything. After all this was over, she stayed behind in the classroom when everyone else was running around at the playground.
"I think you have an impressive Quirk. It's just like Shadowfly's Quirk. Is he your father?", the teacher asked her. Sakura just looked at her and nodded. Shadowfly and Nullifier were her parents, while she got the quirk from her father, her brother inherited the Erasure Quirk from their mother.
"Dad and Mom started dating after they had to work on a case together. Shota got the Quirk from our Mom, he is the coolest and he will be a hero one day. I wanna be a hero too, and I will attend UA once I'm old enough.", Sakura declared, sadly for her, the bully heard that and started laughing again.
"You? A hero? With that uncool and useless Quirk you have? Even Sammy, who is quirkless, has a better chance at being a hero.", he chuckled. "Your Quirk isn't cool."
That had stung. What could that brat do? Manipulate water? Wow, very impressive. At least if she was allowed to use it at school she could show him that her Quirk was cool and useful, even though she might need a bit of combat training.
"Now Bryan, that's not nice. You don't even know what 'Wings' can do.", the teacher tried to defend Sakura. Bryan, the bully, just shrugged: "Of course I do. I have seen Shadowfly on TV before, it's just not very impressive"
The rest of the school day also went like this. Nobody wanted to befriend the kid with an unimpressive or weak Quirk. Once it ended and Shota picked up his little sister, he immediately noticed, that she wasn't as energetic and spunky like her usual self.
"What's wrong, butterfly?", Shota asked, using the nickname he gave her at the age of 5 when she showed of butterfly wings. Sakura just wiped tears from her face and tried to smile, saying: "Nothing, I'm okay."
Now if you are a big brother or sister and your baby sibling is sad, you instantly know that something is wrong. Especially if your baby sibling was so excited telling people about their Quirk in the morning. Shota just sighed: "Well, something IS wrong for sure. You were so happy, telling everyone about your awesome Quirk. I mean with it, you can Fly, not everyone can say that about their Quirks. I just get to erase other Quirks. That isn't nearly as impressive..."
But he was cut short by the small sobs coming from his little sister.
"Someone said my Quirk wasn't cool, and, and, and that I could never be a hero with such a lame Quirk!", she cried, tears streaming down her face. "Why...why couldn't I also get Mom's Quirk?"
Being a bit overwhelmed by the situation, he sighed: "Tell you what, We are going to get some ice cream and when we get home you tell Mom and Dad what happened okay?"
Sakura smiled and nodded, so Shota looked up the nearest ice cream store on his phone. When he found one the two of them made their way towards it.
Seating themselves inside of the little cafe the two siblings had the time of their lives eating ice cream together. It was the first time in years they did this, last time being a celebration that Sakura finally got her Quirk after almost giving up. Shota and Sakura were very close, even though Shota was 5 years older than his little sister, the two were two peas in a pot. Sakura admired Shota for his quick thinking and his levelheadedness, he was always calm and collected and could think of ways to resolve a problem without having to use his Quirk or relying on violence; Shota on the other hand admired Sakura for her bravery and optimism, for she could smile even in the most dire situations, making sure everyone keeps on hoping, she was a bundle of sunshine so it was always easy to spot when she was sad or angry. They would one day grow up and work as a hero team, though none of them has thought of a hero name yet.
"Ready to go home?", Shota asked and Sakura nodded, having her signature smile on her face, making him smile as well. If he wouldn't know better, he'd say she possesses two Quirks.
At home Sakura told her parents that a classmate didn't like her Quirk so everybody didn't like it, so she had no friends.
"The most important thing is, that you like your Quirk. Maybe they are just jealous that your Quirk is so special, just like you are.", her parents told her. Sakura was relieved about what her parents said and wasn't afraid to go to school anymore, but from this point onward, she would have to fight harder than anyone to keep up with everything life throws at her.
A\N: Woo, I'm pretty hyped for My Hero Academia. I've just seen the first Season because it's on Netflix, but I already like Aizawa and All Might a lot. Anyway, you know what you have to do, leave a review with constructive criticism and maybe some ideas what could happen. I have a general direction I want this story to go, but I won't spill the tea.
