Chapter 2
Origin Part 2
Izuku Midoriya and his mother, Inko, were sitting in a doctor's office waiting for the results from the latest tests. Inko was originally devastated to see the condition her son was in when he got home from school, but upon hearing that her son finally developed a quirk all her anger had melted away and she took him to the doctor to find out exactly what happened.
After a series of tests and hours of waiting the doctor entered the room looking over some notes on a clipboard. Izuku stopped playing with his favorite All Might action figure, ready to find out what amazing power he had. The doctor looked at them gravely and took a deep breath before speaking.
"Sorry kid, but you don't have a quirk."
"Are you sure?" Inko Midoriya replied, holding out hope that this was some sort of mistake.
"Yes, for several reasons actually. For starters lets look at his X Rays." The doctor pointed to a X Ray hanging on the wall. "You see when powers first began appearing many studies were conducted. Doctors discovered a link between the bones in a person's foot and their likelihood of developing a quirk. People with powers only have one joint in their pinky toes. Izuku here has two, like roughly twenty percent of the population. So his chances of developing a quirk aren't great to begin with. Also, the quirk he describes using is not at all like the quirks you or his father possess, which is even more rare. While exceptions to these cases do happen, the chances of them both being the case in one person is ridiculously low. What more than likely happened is the boy Izuku was with, this Bakugo child, attempted to use his quirk and it backfired for some reason. Whatever the case, I can honestly tell you that if his quirk hasn't developed by now, it probably never will."
At that Izuku felt something snap inside himself and didn't even realize he dropped the All Might figure. He felt his whole world falling apart. If he had no quirk, how can he be like All Might? All of the top heroes had some sort of quirk. He felt his mother grab his hand to help guide him out of the room when he felt a weird pull in his other hand. He looked down just in time to see the All Might figure going back into his hand, but that can't be possible, he's quirkless. Isn't he?
Ten Years Later
It's been a decade since Izuku was officially declared quirkless, and despite that, weird things kept happening. There have been times when he could swear he had a quirk, but he had no idea what it was. Sometimes, objects would float to his hand, just like his mothers' quirk, and sometimes he would feel the heat of Kacchans quirk building up in his own hands, but as soon as he realized what was going on the feeling would go away as soon as it had appeared.
Whatever the case may be, the rest of the world wrote him off as a quirkless nobody, but that didn't stop him from wanting to be a great hero. He took notes on every hero he could, not just what they're quirks are and how they might work, but weaknesses, costume improvements, support gear that could assist them, personality traits. Everything he could think of. If he was going to become a hero, he had to learn as much as possible.
Midoriya was sitting in class as the teacher began his lecture for the period.
"Since you're all third years, it's time for you to think seriously about your future. I'd pass out handouts for your future plans now, but you're all pretty much planning to go into the hero course, right?"
The class let out a massive cheer, blasting quirks in every direction, trying to show off when a voice cut them off. Bakugo leaned back in his chair, not showing off at first, then jumping onto his desk.
"Hey teach! Don't lump us all in the same group. I'm not gonna be stuck at the bottom with the rest of these rejects! You all should shut up like the extras you are! "
"Oh, if I remember correctly, you want to go to U.A. Right, Bakugou?" The teacher said looking down at a sheet of paper on his desk.
"That's right! I aced the mock test! I'm the only one at this school who could possibly get into U. A. I'll definitely surpass All Might and become the new number one hero!" Bakugo roared looking around the room to see if anyone would challenge him. At that moment the teacher spoke up.
"Oh yeah, Midoriya wanted to go to U. A. too, right?"
The laughter was almost instantaneous, followed by a explosion rocking the room as Izukus desk was destroyed.
"Deku! You can't seriously think you have a chance at U. A.? Why would they let someone like you in when they could have me? Your worse than the rest of these rejects you quirkless nobody!"
Fear paralyzed Midoriya as he looked up at the raging man before him.
"Bakugou! What did I tell you about using your quirk in school? If you don't want to ruin your chances at U.A. sit down now!" The teacher yelled, terrified, but at least attempting to defuse the situation before it got any worse.
Bakugou paused for a moment before turning back towards his desk.
"Whatever". He sat down and class continued.
Later that day.
Izuku was trying to hold it together, Bakugou had approached him after school with some not so friendly advice, destroyed his most recent notes about some of the newer heroes in the area, then left. After finally working up the will to move, Izuku started on his way home, thinking about ways he could prove everyone wrong and become a hero. He was crossing through a tunnel muttering to himself about possibly using support gear when a shadow was cast over him. He turned to see a mass of slime and liquids looming over him.
"You'll make a perfect skin suit for me to hide in kid." The sludge. Midoriya screamed and tried to get away as he was tackled. "Don't worry I'm just taking over your body, it will only hurt for a minute. Thanks for the help, you're a real hero to me, kid."
The creature started forcing itself down Midoriyas throat. "I never would have tried anything if I knew HE was in town".
Izuku felt himself suffocating, getting weaker, he tried to pull himself free, but his hands just passed through the creature. What would Kacchan do? He wondered. He wouldn't give up, he would keep fighting! Izuku tried to push his way out, but it was no use. He began to panic even more, not realizing the pressure that was building up in his arms. As he began to lose consciousness a giant explosion blew through the tunnel, causing part of the tunnel to collapse. The creature faltered for a second, just enough time for help to arrive.
"Have no fear young man you're safe. Why? Because I am here!" A booming voice announced.
"Damn you All Might!" The creature turned, forgetting about the now unconscious Izuku.
