Chapter 2: Along came another
"Kacchan! Why are you being so mean? You're making him cry Kacchan! If you don't stop... then I'll... I'll stop you myself!" Exclaimed a little boy who was no older than five years old. He was wearing green shorts, a light blue t-shirt and red shoes. The most notable thing of the little boy was that he has emerald green hair. He stood over a little boy who was crying, holding his bruised elbow in pain as he was violently pushed off the monkey bars by three boys in the local park.
Seeing this, The emerald haired boy got off the swing set and ran as fast as his little legs could carry him. His heart and mind set on helping the boy from the three bullies with his own set of tears welling in his eyes.
The three bullies only laughed at the boys attempt to be a hero. The first bully was a bit chubby, wearing a plain white tank top with shorts and white tennis shoes. He also had short brown hair and his eyes looked like they were permanently closed.
The second one wore a purple T-shirt underneath a beige button up shirt. He also had on denim jeans, black converses and a purple hat that kept his long black hair to his back.
The third was a little boy with ashen, spiky blonde hair and red eyes. He wore a navy blue T-Shirt along with red shorts and white sneakers.
The blonde haired boy, known to the emerald boy as "Kacchan" , smirked and slightly shook his head. "Tch. You want to pretend to be a hero?" Kacchan began with cocky grin as he punched his right hand into his left palm, giving off a small explosion due to his quirk activating in the hot summer day. "You don't stand a chance without a quirk, Deku." Kacchan finished as he narrowed his eyes at the emerald haired boy.
The boy, " Deku" as what Kacchan called him, gasped in fright as he watched the chubby boy release blood red wings from his back, the skinny boy rushing with his fingers elongated and Kacchan with his fists raised high.
All the little boy could do was scream in pain as the other three little boys began to beat him.
A sharp inhale escaped Izuku Midoriya's lips as he quickly shot out of bed. His heart was beating erratically and was covered in a cold sweat. He took a deep sigh as he grabbed his sweat ridden t-shirt and gave a quick pull around the collar.
"Dammit, why did I have that dream?" He muttered as he swung his legs over his bed, feeling the cold wooden floor at the bottom of his feet. He reached up to his face and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes as he walked to his door. He reminded himself to do laundry when he comes home after school.
He walked out into the hallway, a slight breeze passing by his body as he smelt an intoxicating smell coming from his kitchen. He smiled as he walked out of his hallway and into his kitchen. It was an average apartment he lived in, a four story apartment complex only five minutes away from downtown.
"Good morning honey." A woman's voice called to him as he looked over to his kitchen. A woman wearing a pink sweater and a blue skirt smiled at him lovingly. She was 5'7, a slender yet curvy body and had emerald green hair just like his own.
"Hi mom." Izuku replied with a smile as he sat down on a bar stool near the kitchen island. His mother placed a plate near him and began to serve him breakfast. It was a simple breakfast; Bacon with eggs, Toast and a cup of orange juice.
"So I'll be working late tonight. A nurse called in sick so I have to pick up her hours tonight. There's fifty dollars on top of the fridge so you can order pizza or Chinese food." His mother spoke as she drank a sip from her coffee.
"Okay mom. I'll probably just get pizza or something today too." Izuku said as he took another bite of his breakfast.
"Will you invite Katsuki over today? It's been so long since I have seen him." Inko asked her son as she finished her cup of coffee. Hearing this, Izuku visibly flinched at the mention of his former best friend; an act that didn't got unnoticed by Inko in the slightest. "W-w-well you s-see, K-Kacchan is going to be... busy today and I-I don't w-want to b-bother him." He nervously chuckled while scratching the back of his head.
Inko sighed. She was wondering why her son has been trying to actively avoid trying to get his friend, Katsuki Bakugou, out of school. She had already met his mother, Mitsuki, when she had moved to Musutafu. Although she doesn't know her past, Inko still considered her a friend.
She had hoped that Izuku and Katsuki would've been long time friends. She didn't want her baby to end up how her and her late husband was back all those years ago. Yet, given Izuku's Quirk less nature, she knew that life wouldn't be so easy. She still remembered that fateful day.
A four year old Izuku came rushing out into the kitchen, bouncing up and down with glee with a big, giddy smile on his face. "Mom! Mom! We gotta hurry! It's computer time!" The little boy shouted with glee as he held his favourite action figure of All Might in his small hand.
Inko turned around and looked down to her son as she turned off the running faucet. "Computer time again huh? Well alright hunny." She said with a big smile as she hefted her little boy up and bopped his nose, earning her a happy giggle.
She walked with her son in hand into her room, turning on the family computer and going onto google. "Gee, I think you added ten thousand views yourself Izuku." Inko chuckled as she loaded the video of her sons favorite hero.
"HAHAHAHA! HAVE NO FEAR CITIZENS! WHY? BECAUSE I AM HERE!" The voice of All Might came through the computer speakers as her son jumped with glee. "He's the most awesome hero in the universe! When I get my quirk, I'm going to just like All Might!" Little Izuku said with glee, standing on the black leather computer chair and raised his All Might action figure into the air.
Inko smiled as she watched her son by the bedroom door. She didn't really mind Izuku wanting to be a hero. If she were being honest, she didn't want her baby to end up on the path she and her husband took all of those years ago and get into the "family" business. As much as she despised heroes, she wanted Izuku to be happy and if being a hero made him happy, she would do what any loving mother would do and support her baby on his future.
'If only you could see our little boy, Hisashi.' Inko thought to herself as she wiped away a tear that threatened to escape her eye. She had to call their family doctor to see if she could get an appointment for Izuku's quirk assessment.
After a week, Inko finally managed to get a day off from her job as a nurse. She was now sitting in a white hospital room with her son who was bouncing up and down with excitement. They had been here for over five hours, doing all sorts of tests and diagnostics to determine what Izuku's quirk could be. If Inko had to guess, her little boy would either get her own or one of the quirks Hisashi had stolen.
She didn't want him to have All for One. That would cause too much trouble in the future since she knew about Hisashi's quirk to a certain extent since he never told her how the process of stealing quirks worked. She didn't want to have her baby develop All for one and accidentally use it on some one and steal their quirk. That would cause too much issues from the police and heroes who would connect the dots with the police officers who were their that night Hisashi and All Might fought. She would kill anyone who tried to take her precious baby boy away from her. Be it All Might, Endeavour. Anyone.
She was brought out of her thoughts as she heard the door open, the sounds of telephones ringing , gurneys and doctors passing by came as quickly as it left as a elderly bald man walked in the room. He wore a beige suit and green button up shirt with a white doctors overcoat. He also had a comically large grey mustache and glasses.
"So Doctor? Is there any results on what my sons quirk can be?" Inko asked the doctor while holding Izuku's hand in her own. She was internally praying that she won't hear that her little boy had All for One.
The doctor took a deep sigh, pulling off his glasses as he looked down to the floor. "Ma'am... I have been doing this job for over thirty years... I have seen flashy quirks, mutant quirks, emitter quirks, and very powerful quirks. But this here... is the most painful part of the job." He said solemnly, making Inko confused as she felt a pit of dread begin to form in her stomach.
"Izuku... he is Quirk less."
Izuku instantly stopped bouncing, dropping his Action figure and staying perfectly still. Meanwhile Inko, was beyond shocked. Quirk less was the last thing she expected to hear. Her son should of received her quirk or one of Hisashi's stolen quirks. Hell, she would have rather hear the doctor say her baby had developed All for One than what she just heard. At least then she would of been able prepare for what was to come.
"Quirk less? Doctor... there has to be some kind of mistake. He should of had my quirk or even my husbands. But Quirk less?" Inko pleaded as she looked at the elderly doctor who kept his gaze to the floor. "I have run... countless tests to see whether or not he would develop a quirk. However... given the fact your son has an extra joint in his pinky toe, it confirms the worst..." the doctor replied as he looked down to the frozen Izuku.
"I'm so sorry young man... but... You Cannot become a hero."
Tears pooled inside Izuku's eyes as his young mind registered those words, Knowing the fact that he was powerless in a power driven society. Inko wiped her own tears away as she gently took her sons hand into her own. "T-thank you doctor... I must get him home... it's late and he has school tomorrow." Inko said with a sad tone in her voice as she left the hospital room with a silent Izuku.
The ride home was quiet for the Midoriya's. Usually Izuku would want to stop for ice cream or listen to the radio but it was dead silent as she drove back home during the night.
When she unlocked the door into her home, Izuku rushed in and ran into her room, slamming the door shut with a resounding thud. Inko sighed sadly as she took off her shoes and walked to her room. When she opened the door, the only light illuminating the master bedroom was the home computer, playing the All Might video on loop.
"He's so cool..." she barely heard his whisper as she watched her ever smiling baby, now stricken with tears as he slowly turned around to look at her. "Mommy... do you think... I can be a hero like him too?"
That was the last straw for Inko as tears welled up uncontrollably in her eyes, Seeing her baby so broken and helpless hurt her heart deeply. "Oh Izuku... baby..." she choked out as she ran and gave Izuku a bone crushing hug. They stayed like that as she let him sleep in her room that night with her.
"Mom?" Izuku asked, bringing Inko out her thoughts as she looked at Izuku who was wearing a black school uniform. "I said I was going now." He continued as he gave his mom a quick kiss on the cheek. "Okay hunny. Just be safe! I love you!" Inko yelled as she heard the front door open and shut.
She sighed as she looked to the ceiling with a distant look. 'I wonder how life would be like if you were here... Hisashi. You would given him a quirk.' she thought to herself before going to change for her job.
Izuku looked nervously at the building in front of him. Aldera Junior High was a school located in the southern prefecture of Musutafu. It wasn't that big of a school, known for its high acceptance rates and small staff. While those looking to move to Musutafu for work or to start a family, Aldera would look an ideal school to send your kids too.
However, Izuku knew better. This place was hell on earth. Everyone here fended for themselves and power was the only thing that mattered in such a school. Since he was Quirk less, he was at the bottom of the food chain. Everyone managed to find someway to make his life a living hell here; Be it the faculty, Students or the dreaded baseball team.
Many times he wanted to take it up with the police. To inform them or anybody in an authoritative position of what really happens behind the doors and how. However, it was a classic case of he said/ she said. No one here was going to side and prove the wrongdoings beside a Quirkless boy. Besides, All Might never gives up, so why should he? He only had around five months left here. Then he could forget it ever happened.
Izuku looked around, seeing students pass by and not paying him much attention as usual. 'So far so good.. I haven't seen any of them so far.. maybe they had a game and they had to go?' He thought to himself as he didn't see any of the baseball team around. He hoped they didn't show up today, least of all him...
"OI, DEKU!"
Izuku visibly flinched as he heard the voice of his former friend turned enemy. He turned around, coming face to face with Katsuki Bakugou and two members of the baseball team who also tormented him since he was a kid.
"K-k-Kacchan!" Izuku shrieked as the ashen blonde glared at him with crimson eyes. "Stop your bitch ass mumbling you fucking nerd." Katsuki spat as his two friends giggled behind him. Izuku began to sweat, shaking nervously as he spoke.
"I'm sorry Kacchan! I promise.. I -I won't do it again!" Katsuki kissed his teeth in annoyance before wrapping his left arm around Izuku's neck and pulled him closer.
"So listen fuckwit, did you do Mr. Tanaki's history homework like I asked you to?" Bakugou asked Izuku who was shaking with fear. "W-w-well... you s-see K-Kacchan... I had to go... t-to g-get mine d-done too s-o" Izuku stuttered in fear as he smelt the familiar smell of smoke rising to his nostrils.
Katsuki's gripped suddenly tightened around his neck, steam now erupting from his hands as his crimson eyes narrowed at the boy in his grasp. "Come on Deku. You don't want me to fail history right? 'Cause if I fail that, then I can't get into UA. And if I can't get into UA, then oh boy..."
Katsuki chuckled as he was slowly beginning to choke Izuku, the emerald boy gasping for air as he felt the blondes arm tighten even more around his neck. "Then that will be very... very bad for you, isn't that right, Deku?" Katsuki Asked the emerald haired boy who was nodding as fast as he could, tears pooling from his eyes as he tried to squirm away from his head lock.
"I-of c-course K-Kacchan... I-I'll do it tonight!" Izuku pleaded with haste. Katsuki only chuckled as he let go of his arm around his neck. "Good little deku. Now, this is for you." Without warning, Katsuki rammed his fist into his gut, the action making Izuku bend over in pain with a silent scream on pain etched on his face.
Katsuki however wasn't done. He then used his left palm and held it over Izuku's face. Without warning, he let off a small explosion, making Izuku scream in pain as he felt to the ground. Katsuki and his friends only laughed as they watched the boy cry. "Next time, do my fucking homework, Deku." Katsuki spat as he kicked Izuku in the jaw, making the boy grunt as they walked over him and into school.
Izuku laid on the concrete ground motionless, tears dropping to the ground as he tried to regain his bearing. This wasn't the first time this had happened to him. He was always met with some sort of opposition when he came to school and yet, he always toughed it out, reciting that All Might never backed down in a battle, so why should he?
Slowly, he began to pick himself up, his legs a little wobbly as he slowly began to walk inside the school, hoping that today would go by very quickly so he could go home.
Inside Aldera Junior High, Izuku walked up the staircase and towards Class room 2-C, the sounds of lectures and kids talking filled the empty hallway as the greenette slid open the wooden door. Inside was his classmates, each and everyone with a variety of quirks. While some were emitter types, there was also mutant types as well, such as the girl with fish likes gills on her neck.
"You're late, Midoriya." Come the deep voice of his homeroom teacher that Izuku turned his gaze too. He was an elderly man in his late fifties, wearing a white button up shirt along with a blue tie, khaki pants and brown loafers. He was balding on the top, grey hair was seen on the side of his head that was underneath his big, silver glasses for the small, pugy man.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hanahashi, but I uh..." Izuku looked over to Katsuki, the blonde narrowing his eyes at him while steam emitted from his palms. "Got caught up with something." He finished with a dejected tone as he sat down at his desk.
Mr. Hanahashi sighed in annoyance before stepping to his podium. "Midoriya. This is the third time you have been late. I want a written essay on my desk tomorrow morning. Let this be a lesson to all of you. Get here on time." The teacher sighed, making Izuku nod as the students neared him snickered at his bemusement.
Mr. Hanahashi, although a smart teacher, used subtle methods to branch himself from Midoriya. This wasn't the first time he singled out the greenette. Izuku would only be a couple of seconds late to class, being held up by the train being a few minutes late or one of Katsuki's punishments for lack of a better term and yet, Mr. Hanahashi would always make him write essays on why you should never be late, usually wanting three thousand words.
However, when Katsuki came late to class after practice or just not wanting to show up, the teacher would not bat an eye and just smile, saying he understood and didn't mind it the slightest.
Izuku only sighed as he opened his textbook, wishing today would go by quick was able to go home.
It was during P.E that Izuku fouls himself in , dressed in a grey T-Shirt and blue basketball shorts. He and his class were playing dodgeball while the Gym teacher, Nakamuro, sat on the bench watching the game intently. If Izuku were being honest, Nakamuro was the only one in the faculty that Izuku actually liked. He was a tall man in his late forties with chestnut hair. He wore a red Adidas track suit with a grey T-Shirt underneath.
"Alright move it ladies! Come on I want to see some fire here!" Nakamuro shouted as he blew into his whistle. It was down to the last four people on each team, Izuku was on the left side with a girl who had long navy blue hair. Her nails were razor sharp and resembled talons.
The last two on the other team were Katsuki and Tsubasa, both of them were glaring with murder at Izuku who shivered. "Here I come, Deku!" Katsuki roared as he and Tsubasa threw two red balls at Izuku's frame. The girl growled before running to the boy with her own ball, blocking and punting them away as she growled at the greenette.
"How about you stop being such a useless fucking pussy and help me, Deku." The girl spat as she grabbed one of the balls and roughly shoved it into his gut, making the boy slightly stumble. Katsuki glared at the duo as he picked up the last ball on his side.
"Hey, Katsuki help me out here." Tsubasa Asked pleadingly as the navy haired girl readied the ball in her hand. "Fuck off fatass." Katsuki spat as he pushed the boy away from him. The girl threw the ball hard, creating a screeching noise as the ball whipped through the air and towards Tsubasa.
The boy didn't dodge in time as he was hit hard in the face, creating a loud smack as the ball fell to the ground along with him. Capitalizing on the moment, Katsuki whipped the ball at the girl, using a small bit of his quirk to make it faster.
The sound that came next was music to his ears as he heard the ball crash into the girl's face. "HAHAH! EAT SHIT BIT-
He was suddenly pelted in the face by a ball, knocking him back a few feet as the ball slowly dropped to the ground. The gym was completely silent, the sound of the running fans reverberated through the room as all eyes landed on Izuku with shock. His arm was stretched forward, a brief look of shock etched on his face as he slowly began to pull it back.
Katsuki slowly began to shake, his face now reddening with rage as he began to growl. "YOU LITTLE FUCKING SHIT!" He roared with fury as he rocketed towards Izuku with his quirk. The emerald boy only yelped as Katsuki pounced onto him , tackling him to the ground and began to punch him in the face.
The students all began to holler and cheer while Katsuki kept punching Izuku in the face, the boy was begging for him to stop while he tried to defend himself.
"HEY! KNOCK THAT OFF NOW!" Nakamuro shouted as he pulled Katsuki off Izuku. The blonde was fighting tooth and nail to get back to the boy who was crying on the court. "You! To the office this instant! I'll be calling your mother!" Nakamuro shouted as he pushed Katsuki to the side, the blonde screaming as he was led to the office by a student.
Nakamuro slowly dispersed the crowd before bending down to Izuku's crying form. "I'm so sorry kiddo... I should of made you sit out today." Nakamuro said with a gentle voice as he slowly lifted Izuku off the ground, paying heed to not hurt the boy further.
"It's fine, Nakamuro-san. I'll be fine." Izuku replied with a pained smile, blood staining his teeth as he began to dust himself off. Nakamuro frowned. Izuku was always his favorite student and didn't care if he was Quirkless. It always pissed him off to no avail that kids like Katsuki, Tsubasa and Hikari would bully him while the teachers would do nothing about it. There were numerous times where he threatened to file a complaint to the board of education committee about the unlawful acts happening at Aldera. However, not only did the principal "mysteriously" misplaced those files, Katsuki Bakugou was the "Golden" boy at Aldera. Since he wanted to be the number one hero and attend UA high school, the teachers would look over any wrong doings to hope it wouldn't affect his future career and have a foot hold in the future heroes biography and have the bragging rights of "teaching the Number one hero."
"Come on Midoriya. I'm telling you, you should apply for Somei Academy in Kyoto, with your grades you would easily be accepted. The headmaster is an old friend of mine back in our days playing American football and he would be more than happy to give you a scholarship there with your incredible grades." Nakamuro pleaded as he watched Izuku slowly sit on the bench.
Mr. Nakamuro had been pleading to Izuku about this non stop. Somei Private Academy was one of, if not the most highly academic Junior High in all of Japan; most foreigners had dubbed it "Japan's Harvard" given how hard it was to be accepted. While Izuku did admit that being in a completely new city, with new and (hopefully) better teachers along with students did feel promising and rewarding, Izuku didn't want to quit here.
No, he had spent to long in Aldera and didn't want his mom to lose her job because of him. Yes it was hell on earth here but if Izuku wanted to be a hero, then he would have to learn how to deal with all of this. Besides, heroes would consider this as child's play compares to fighting actual villains or dealing with injuries a thousand times worse.
"I'm fine, Nakamuro-san. I can't do that to mom." He replied as he rubbed his ribs in slight pain. The gym teacher sighed as placed his hand on Izuku's shoulders. "You're a good kid, Izuku. I mean it. Get out of here okay? I'll let you go home early." Nakamuro Stated with a sad smile as he watched Izuku nod and slowly leave the gym, holding his left ribs in pain.
Izuku walked back into the street, looking down at his phone and noting it was only two in the afternoon, an hour before school ended. Normally, He would of been afraid that he was out of school so early, But Nakamuro would cover for him to his mom, noting that he had always selected a few people each day of the week to send home early.
The weather was hot, not a single cloud in the sky as the hot sun beaded down on Izuku's frame. Sighing, Izuku walked through the gates and down the street, walking by the business men in suits and the occasional pro Hero. He would of stopped and asked for their autograph if he had the write book on him.
He only had one page left on his note, dubbed "Hero book issue 12", and he was saving that for a certain person, either the pro Hero Hawks or Endeavour.
After walking for ten minutes, He took a left down Toji avenue, walking underneath the cherry blossom trees as he walked into the local arcade. As he opened the door, the sounds of electronica dance music hit his ears while the place itself was pitch black but also had tons of neon blue, giving the place a Tron-esque feel. The carpet glowed in the dark while hundreds of games, such as Street Fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Need for speed and Injustice littered the area.
Teenagers ranging from seventeen to twenty one walked by the area, paying him no mind as they conversed in their social groups. He had to remember that the local High school, Hitsugya High, let out its students at two pm and this was a popular place for them to go after school.
He walked inside further, passing by a blonde with a rather large bust and a jock in a Letterman's jacket. Slowly, he reached his way to Street Fighter II, noting that no one was near it and began to fish out a quarter from his pocket and shoved it inside.
The machine whirled to life instantly, music erupting from the speakers as it switched to the "Select a Fighter" menu. Izuku scrolled around, ideas popping into his head on which Fighter he would use. Normally, the emerald boy would go for Sagat, , or Dhalsim. However, given the fact that the owners had removed the "Turbo" version of the Street Fighter II arcade machine due to griefers and cheaters, those three fighters were now difficult to fight with.
He settled on a class, Ryu. The screen loaded on his first fight against Guille, an American Air Force Pilot. Izuku began to fight, using the joy stick and buttons to constantly use attacks such as the "Shoryuken", "Hadokuen" and "Tatsumaki Zenpukayu" against the computer.
As time went on, moving to different arenas with Ryu and the game getting progressively harder, Izuku began to get a small crowd behind him, watching the fight with intensity. He was on the final battle against Vega, the masked clawed Spaniard with a difficult move set to counter. He was beginning to regret using Ryu at this moment, since it was difficult for the fighter to counter Vega's move set while others such as Chun-Li, Balrog and Ken was easy to hit him.
Eventually, he had lost to Vega, the computer using a final tiger climb and hit him. The crowd dispersed as Izuku only sighed. "Well, better luck next time I guess." He muttered as he tried to fish another quarter out his pocket, only to find lint. He let out another deep sigh, noting it was three thirty in the afternoon. He was about to turn and leave before he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"That was some good gameplay kid, you're better than these noobs I go against."
Izuku turned around, seeing a pale man with light blue hair that was disheveled. He wore a black sweater, black jeans and red Air Jordan's. He was a bit taller, standing around 5'9 and was really skinny.
"I-oh! I u-uhh, t-thanks!" Midoriya stuttered nervously as his face flushed red due to embarrassment. The man only sighed, shaking his head in slight annoyance before speaking. "Relax kid, if I was going to grief you I would of done it by now. None of these noobs here are good anyway, so seeing you get so far was pretty good." The man grinned, showing his white but slightly yellow tinted teeth.
Izuku shook his head, muttering over and over again while the guy sighed. "Play a round with me? I got a quarter." He said with an annoyed tone as he turned around and walked to Street Fighter II. Izuku would of denied, heading home to take a nap and get the day over with after what happened in school.
However, he began to remember that his mom was out late due to her job as a nurse. It wouldn't hurt to play one more game right? Besides, she didn't have to know and worry over him like she usually did.
Izuku walked up to the second joy stick and clicked enter, scrolling over to Ryu while the man took Blanka. "Going with him again eh? Not bad. Easy person to master." The man said with a chuckle as the arena loaded in. The two began to duke it out, Izuku throwing Hadoken after Hadoken while Tomura used a variety of combos.
"You're not half bad kid, but you need to stop relying on a combo or else someone good can counter." The man stated as he used Blanka's electricity to fry Izuku's Fighter, leaving him open. The man chuckled as he watched Izuku lose the first round with Sixty HP remaining.
"Look, Ryu is all about combos. Try using the Shoryuken to launch me in the air then follow it up with a Hadoken, punches Then the spinning kick shit." The man said to Izuku.
"I- yes!" He replied as he began to do the combo on Blanka. The man grinned as he was given a challenge finally. The two played more, gaining another crowd as it was the final round. Izuku kept using his own combo and the one the man taught him. However, Even then the man proved to much of a match to Izuku, countering all of his moves easily.
After a few minutes, Izuku lost again to the man, this time the mans HP was down to thirty. "Not bad kid, but you still need to work if you wanna best a champ like me." The man replied, backing away from the machine while Izuku sighed. "I'm sorry sir, you were too much for me." He replied to the man who chuckled.
"Cut the Sir shit out, you earned my respect today. Names Tomura." He said with a grin, extending his hand out for a handshake. Izuku noted that his ring finger was tucked into his palm while the others were still extended. 'What an odd handshake', izuku thought as he slow and reluctantly, shook his hand.
"I'm.. I-I-Izuku." He replied to Tomura who just chuckled. "Good to meet you, Izuku." Tomura grinned as he wrapped his arm around Izuku's frame, still not touching him with his fingers. "Say, why don't we go around and show these hacks what true gamers look like? Moneys on me." Tomura grinned at Izuku who was wide eyed.
Did this man really ask to hang out with him? A Quirk less no body? He never had any friends to begin with and here was an older guy, old enough to be his cousin, asking him to hang out?
"Dude." Tomura deadpanned as Izuku looked up at him. "Why the fuck are you muttering? Shuts hurting my ears." Tomura whines as he rubbed the inside his right ear with his index finger. Izuku went bright red and began to speak in a high pitch voice. "N-no! It's not that! It's just..." his voice became low, depressed even as he looked to his feet.
"Why would someone like you would want to hang out with a loser like me." He muttered, making Tomura sigh as he began to scratch his neck. "Look kid, I don't know what the fuck you been through and quite frankly I don't give a shit. But look around." Tomura waved out into the crowd with some teenagers still there. There were cheerleaders, Jocks in Letterman jackets, mutant quirks and the average person talking to one another without a care in the world.
"I'm guessing your in what, Junior High? These guys are in high school, actual high school. And you notice not one of them gives a fuck what they look like? It's not Like those American films where each has their clique or some bullshit. Times have changed, no one really gives a shit what there social status is in high school now, everyone here knows it won't mean shit when they graduate." Tomura replied as Izuku watched the jocks laugh with an average kid with a blue t-shirt, blue jeans and black shoes. The kid looked like what foreigners would call a "nerd" and yet, no one cared.
"So, turn that frown upside down and let's rock this joint." Tomura gave a cheeky grin as he looked at Izuku. Slowly, the boy nodded as they began to walk around the arcade, wanting to see what they could play next as they walked by many teeangers who were still in the arcade.
Izuku stepped out the arcade, the sun was now gone as it was six in the evening.
"Did you see the look on that guys face when we beat his high score on time crisis? That was hilarious!" Tomura chuckled as he followed Izuku out the arcade. Izuku laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his neck while giving off an uneasy chuckle.
"Well, it would of been okay if we didn't hog the machine." Izuku chuckled at Tomura who only kissed his teeth in annoyance. "It's not our fault those noobs don't know how to play a game." He replied before giving Izuku a grin. "You're alright kid. A nervous and stuttering wreck but alright." He said with a chuckle while Izuku laughed.
"T-thanks, T-Tomura." Izuku replied.
"You need a ride home? My uncle will be here soon and I can drop you off." Tomura Asked the boy who shook his head quickly. "N-no! That's f-fine! I don't want to impose... besides I live only a few blocks from h-here." Izuku told Tomura who only kissed his teeth again in annoyance.
"Well alrighty." Tomura replied as he watched a black Sedan pull up to the curb. Tomura walked to the car and opened it, putting a foot inside before looking back to Izuku. "I'll see you around, kid." He waved before getting fully in the car and driving off.
Izuku watched the car drive out of sight before turning away and beginning to walk home. He began to wonder, was this what it felt like having a friend? He never had one after Katsuki began to bully him. But Tomura seemed cool to him, granted there was a small feeling of unease that formed in his stomach but the emerald haired boy pushed it away as he turned the corner and began to walk home.
The night was cool in Musutafu, a slight breeze passed through the air as he waited to cross the street to go home. He was going to get inside and order his food before bedtime. he just hoped that the fast food places were open still, knowing that some close early on school nights.
"OI FUCKHEAD!"
Izuku froze instantly, his blood going cold as he slowly turned to see Katsuki glaring at him with Tsubasa and Hikari. "Because of you I got benched next game , so now it's time for you to repay me you fucking deku!" Katsuki roared as he ran to Izuku. Quickly, the emerald haired boy turned and ran across the street as fast as he could while the three gave chase.
He ran fast, running by people as he heard the other three yelling at him to stop. "Come back here you fucking freak!" Katsuki screamed as he didn't give chase to Izuku. The emerald haired boy yelped as he ran through the local market place, pushing people out the way and running through a set a hanging clothes in hope to escape Katsuki yet to no avail.
"Please leave me Alone Kacchan!" Izuku screamed as he hoped a fence and began to run into an alleyway. He looked around frantically, seeing movers unpack a a small restaurants belongings and began to climb the boxes to get to the small rooftop.
The three boys gave chase, Katsuki using his explosions to easy gap the jump while Tsubasa and Hikari ran through the back door of the restaurant, disturbing many of the patrons inside.
Izuku jumped back to the ground after running across the small roof, Katsuki right behind him as Tsubasa and Hikari ran out the front door. "I'M STILL HERE, DEKU!" Katsuki screamed in fury as he ran after Izuku. "Move! Move!" Izuku screamed frantically as he ran past people who jumped back as the four boys ran past. Izuku turned a corner, seeing a homeless man riding a bike with several milk crates filled with empty bottles. With fast thinking, Izuku grabbed the milk crates and threw them to the sidewalk, smashing the bottles and briefly stopping the three boys.
"HEY!" The homeless man shouted while Izuku ran away as fast as he could, albeit a bit slower since he was beginning to ride out. "FUCK! YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT DEKU!" Katsuki roared as he and the other two gave chase to the boy.
"Please Kacchan Stop!" Izuku screamed as he cut through another alleyway that was closer to his home, running through a small green door and slammed it shut. He slowly back up, shaking in fear as he heard the three boys slam against the door. Izuku was about to sigh in relief until he heard an explosion, followed by the door shattering into a million pieces as Katsuki ran out the door.
"NOW YOU'RE DEAD!" Katsuki roared as he gave chase to Izuku who began to run again. He hopped another fence, running through someone's back yard and ended back up Kohei He looked to his left, seeing his apartment building in its glory as Izuku made a dash for it. He ran through the gates, hoping to get inside his home so he couldn't have to deal with his bully.
As he was about to run up the stairs, he was grabbed and violently thrown to the pavement by Katsuki. "Not fast enough, deku." He seethed as he kicked Izuku in the ribs, making the boy shriek in pain as the other two ran walked up behind him.
"K-Kacchan.. please d-don't..." Izuku whimpered as he felt Tsubasa and Hikari roughly pick him up. The two boys held his arms apart, grins plastered on their faces as Izuku had tears steaming down his face.
"Tch. You fucking nerd. Always thinking you are better than me. Is that why you hit me in the face in Dodge ball?" Katsuki mockingly Asked the boy before punching him hard in the stomach, making Izuku whimper in pain but couldn't bend down due to Tsubasa and Hikari.
Y-y-you got it wrong... I- the b-ball.. slipped." Izuku coughed out to Katsuki who growled. "Bullshit. You just thought that if you could hit me then all the girls and the rest of those useless fucks could see you as some big fucking hotshot who managed to hit the best. Well news flash you fucking nerd..." Katsuki growled as he punched Izuku hard in the stomach again, making the boy cry out in pain as the other two threw him back to the ground.
Katsuki kicked Izuku hard in the jaw, making the boy grunt in pain while Katsuki knelt to him with a grin on his face. "You are nothing but a useless, quirk less, Deku." Katsuki spat as kicked Izuku hard in the ribs, making the boy scream as he laid on the ground helpless.
"Make sure you do my fucking homework tomorrow, Deku." Katsuki stated as he spat on Izuku's clothes and walked away with his friends while laughing their asses off, all while leaving Izuku on the ground with tears rolling down his face.
Izuku slowly stumbled in his apartment, painfully taking off his shoes and walked into the house. The house was quiet, his mom still at work as he walked into the kitchen. A box of Chinese food was sitting on the island with a note written on it. Slowly, Izuku took the note and began to read it.
Hey baby,
I came home on my break and decided to get you Chinese food for you. It's Lo Mein noodles with General Tao chicken. Heat it up and make sure you eat! I'll be home at ten tonight.
Love, Mom
Izuku sighed as he slowly at stuck his food in the microwave and began to heat it up. After a few minutes, he took the food out and sat on his couch, turning on the TV and turned it to HNN, also known as the Hero News Network.
"Thank you for tuning in. Tonight's story, new rookie sensation, Kamui Woods and Death Arms have been taken the streets and stopped a bank robbery that happened on Banjiro and Daisuke Avenue. No one was hurt in the matter and the money was safely returned to the bank.
The anchor, a fish headed man spoke as Izuku slowly and painfully ate his dinner. As he kept watching, his mind kept going back to today. He was stupid to think that Katsuki would just leave him alone. Not after what had happened today during gym. He just wanted today to be over with.
After a few minutes, he tossed the empty food tray in the garbage and began to disrobe, putting the uniform in the washing machine as he grabbed a fresh pair of pajamas and walked into the shower. As he stood there, feeling the hot water hit his bruises and run down his body, he began to think.
Can he really stick it out for the next five months? If he could wait until then and apply to UA, then Katsuki wouldn't be able to bully him since he was surrounded by professional pro heroes. If he could just survive five months, five long months, then Aldera Junior High would be a thing of the past for Izuku.
He turned off the water, drying himself off and began to put on his All Might pajama's. He stepped out the bathroom. Taking his uniform and putting it into the dryer and began to walk into his room.
With a painful effort, he climbed into bed and looked at the ceiling. "Why is Kacchan so mean to me... I just want to be a hero... why are they so mean..." Izuku muttered as tears began to pool in his eyes. No matter how hard he tried to wipe them away, they just wouldn't stop.
Eventually, Izuku cried himself to sleep, Hoping that tomorrow would be better for him.
AN: So Tomura is slight OOC right now I know. I don't want to fall in the path where he manipulates Izuku and said boy "finds hope" in the league of villains like everyone does. Not dogging on people's story preferences I promise, it's just I want my story to stand out amongst the others. Don't worry, he will become the Shigiraki we all know and love, but right now, expect him to be slight OOC.
Also, The league of Villains do not exist yet. We never really got to see the founding of said group in the Anime/Manga so I'm going to show that Izuku and Tomura become the founders after some event that changes them and gains attention from giran and of course, All for One.
Now speaking of Tomura, how should I get him to show his dislike for heroes? Should I go straight for it and have him say it during a convo with Izuku? Or should I have it build up like have heroes and authority do something (I don't know what yet) to him that makes his hate slowly build up for them. I already have Izuku's planned out, I just need help with Shigiraki.
Also, Netapal did make a good point on having Shigiraki become a heath ledger "Joker" esque style. Not have him become the full fledged joker but share his exact ideals. Which brings me to now, I have all my plans to go in which way I want with this story but it's up to you readers to decide what Villain Izuku should be based upon! I'll end the vote either Wednesday or Thursday so that gives you PLENTY of time to vote! The votes are:
Magneto Izuku: 3
Victor Von Doom Izuku: 4
Anarky Izuku: 1
Green Goblin Izuku: 1
Death Stroke Izuku: 1
lex Luther Izuku: 1
Joker Izuku: 4
League of Assassins Izuku: 3
Scarecrow Izuku: 1
Lastly, the vote will also close for ships on Wednesday or Thursday so you gotta vote! It's:
Izutoga: 4
Izuochacho: 3
If I choose Ochaco, she will have to be OOC to fit the narrative.
Also, if I choose Joker, I don't want to have this where he's like a criminal genius that not even Nezu, a rodent thing with an IQ of like 600 can't touch. I just don't want this story to fail and fall into an category where it started off good then falls into the mediocre villain deku fics.
almost forgot, should i dedicate a full chapter to Inko? to show hows she holding up as a nurse and have her experience a bad day like Izuku will have in the future? decide in the comments below!
Please leave constructive criticism in the comments, don't flame me please! And I'll see you all later this week!
