Chapter 1: Life of the Quirked
There are two ways to identify someone with a quirk. Both as effective.
The first one, by the little toe test, as it is called. They have a system in most places, that once you pass it see if you have or lack the bone in your little toe. If you don't have it, the thing will set an alarm. Y'know, the type of the supermarket when you try to steal something.
The other one, by physical appearance.
Not all, but some quirked people have a trait that marks them as quirked. An exotic skin color, horns, a tail or in my case...
Earphones jacks hanging from my earlobes.
Yes. Earphones jacks.
They appeared a couple of months ago. I went to sleep with normal ears and the next day, poof! I have these things.
I didn't notice them until I walked into the kitchen and my mom screamed and my dad dropped his mug.
I think the rest is obvious, right? Quirked daughter, not really open parents with that theme and the result is being kicked out of the house.
And being honest, these last couple of months had been bullshit in their finest.
I have to hide my quirk using some headphones I have. In most places it works so I can do small works to have a little bit of money and go to a cheap dinner to eat. Sadly, I don't have enough money to go and sleep in an actual building, and when I do, they ask me to take off my headphones for 'security reasons'.
Security reasons my ass.
Well, but this day was kinda different. This day I met Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo.
A day that gave my life 180 degrees turn.
I was walking down the street thinking what can I do. I almost ran out of money and I was hungry. The street was pretty full so no one minded me. And why should they? With my headphones on my head, I am just a normal quirkless person.
"Hey girl! Nice headphones ya got there!" Someone said grabbing my shoulder. I turned around to see it was a teen maybe a little older than me. He had freckles and red hair.
I simply nodded and was about to continue my way but the pressure I felt on my shoulder didn't left. "C'mon now. No need to give me the cold shoulder. Ya should come with us! Right guys!?"
Two other guys surrounded me and I knew they didn't really have nice intentions. They took me to an alleyway and one of them grabbed my headphones and took them out of my head making my jacks visible.
"See? Told ya she was a freak." The red-head one said and other one, a smaller one rolled his eyes.
"Whatever. What should we do with her now?"
A tall and fat one chuckled as he licked his lips "What if we have some fun with her?"
"Are ya crazy!?" The red head snapped "What if we become freaks!?"
"Sorry. I didn't think that well."
"Look," I said as sweat formed on my forehead and the attention of the douchebags turned back to me. "I haven't done anything bad, so why don't you guys let me go and we can just forget about this-" I stopped when the red-headed one pull out a switchblade.
"Why don't we make ya normal again, freak?" He said while placing the blade next to one of my jacks.
I closed my eyes waiting for the worse when it happened.
*Minutes Before, Izuku and Katsuki*
"Why the fuck you never want to do anything, Deku!?" Katsuki asked to Izuku as both of them were walking down the street. Katsuki woke up in a good mood, which wasn't often wanting to do something fun.
But everything he suggested to his best friend was simply answered with a 'Good grief' or a yawn. Both things infuriated the blonde.
Izuku gave him a dry look, the bags under his eyes noticeable "What you want me to do? Go to the arcade or something?"
"YES!" Katsuki snapped and Izuku shrugged.
"Good grief. I just wanted to sleep today."
"When doesn't you feel like sleeping? I had to drag you out of your place just to buy groceries for auntie!"
Katsuki kept screaming at Izuku that seemed to be ignoring him. In truth, he was. But only because he caught sight of some guys cornering a girl with headphones. He can't explain this, but he always had a need to help people. Quirked or quirkless, people are people.
Activating his quirk, he rushed to the other side of the street, avoiding cars. Once he was next to the alleyway, he saw that the girl had some earphones jacks hanging from her earlobes. A quirk. And one of the assailants had a knife.
"Easy." He muttered before stopping time once again. He got into the scene, grabbed the switchblade and threw it into a bin. He then got himself behind the girl as time resumed again.
"Eh?" The red-headed one said noticing the knife was gone.
"You know, attacking quirked is illegal since a couple of years ago." They turned to Izuku that was resting against a wall while looking pretty boring.
"The fuck are you?" The small one said and the fat one rubbed his head.
"When did he got there."
The red-headed one smirked. "Well, if ya are talkin' bout laws, using yer quirk in public, is also illegal."
Izuku shrugged "Unless it is for self-defense. Now beat it, before my friend comes here. He was mad since morning."
The red-headed one snapped his tongue. "This ain't over ya freaks!" Before the three of thems ran away.
"Good grief." Izuku said before turning to the shaking girl "You okay?" He asked as she nodded "Good."
He was about to leave when the girl snapped at him "OI! I didn't need your help! I was fine by my own!"
Izuku looked at her over his shoulder "Whatever." Before resuming walking.
The girl gritted her teeth as she marched to him and turn him around. "Listen to me! I am capable of surviving by my own! I had been alone for a long time and I can handle myself!"
Izuku just gave her a brief look. She was thin. Maybe too thin and her clothes were dirty.
"Good grief." He said as he turned around. "Follow me."
"Eh? What are you talking about?"
"We are going to my place so you can eat and shower. Or not. I am not forcing you."
She looked to the ground before sighing. "Name's Kyoka."
Izuku nodded "Izuku."
*Midoriya's Residence*
"Here you have sweety. Hope you enjoy it." Inko said giving Kyoka a plate of rice as Katsuki and Izuku were eating on the couch next to her.
"Thanks Miss. Midoriya." She said as she started to eat.
"It isn't much, but it had been hard to find job lately."
Izuku snapped his tongue "It isn't your fault. They only don't like that I am your son."
"Izuku, don't speak like that. Everything will figure itself out." Inko reassured him and Izuku simply shook his head.
"Hey, what's going on?" Kyoka asked Katsuki that snapped his tongue.
"My shitty parents told the whole neighborhood that Auntie here is giving housing to me and Deku. So, people also treat her close to a quirked."
"And she isn't?" Kyoka asked honestly surprised. It doesn't make sense that a quirkless person actually cares of the quirked.
"Aja. Mom is like that. She cares about every single soul. I guess that's why I went to help you before." Izuku said and Katsuki glared at him.
"About that... you fucking left me alone!"
"You are a big boy. I am sure you can take care of yourself."
Kyoka smiled seeing their interaction before placing her bowl on the table. "Well, for more fun this had been, I think I should leave. I don't want to bother you guys anymore."
"And where are you leaving exactly?" Izuku asked and Kyoka shrugged.
"Don't know. Where I can stay, I guess."
"Why don't you stay here? I know being surrounded by boys isn't ideal, but you could have a place to stay at least." Inko suggested before Katsuki smirked.
"Or you could go with me to UA."
Izuku groaned as he rolled his eyes "And again with this bullshit."
"Oi, that your old man works there, doesn't mean it is bad." Katsuki said back and Izuku closed his eyes.
"It is a prison with a nice name. Only an idiot would go there."
"What's UA?" Kyoka asked interrupting the both of them.
"It is a school for the quirked. It has dorms, gym, cafeteria and everything you could ask. And the personnel is all quirked!" Katsuki explain before Izuku snorted.
"It is just another excuse from the government to keep the quirked away from the quirkless. That way, the freaks are locked and the normal people are safe. Good grief Kachan, I honestly thought you had more in your head."
"The fuck you say!?"
"Okay! Okay! Guys! I'll think about it." Kyoka said and both nodded still starring at each other. "So, Mrs. Midoriya, you don't mind I staying?"
Inko shook her head with a smile "Not at all. Feel free to stay the tim you need."
Kyoka nodded as one thought passed her mind...
'A place for the quirked... sounds nice...'
And done! That was chapter 1 of 'Frozen Time'. Hope you enjoyed. In the next chapter, we are going to see Aizawa and UA for the first time. So stay tune for more. Now, before I leave a question: I want to add a villain out of the MHA universe to add something more to the story. The options are:
DIO (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure)
Estrarossa (Seven Deadly Sins)
Your own suggestion!
No one.
