Arc 1 Izuka Medoria Origin
Chapter 1.
With the emergence of quirks humanity became a super human society and with this came the profession of heroes and the society became reliant on those heroes, but what happens when one is failed by those heroes.
It was a normal day for Izuka Medoria. It was the day after her 4th birthday and when she woke up she felt like something was different.
When she got out of bed and rubbed her eyes she noticed that there were on holes in the centre of her hands. Her eyes widened into the size of dinner plates and she bolted towards the kitchen. When she went to the kitchen she saw her mother feeding her younger brother Izuku who was 2 years old.
When she sees her mum Izuka instantly rushes over and yells "Mummy look at my hands"
When Izuka's mother sees the holes in her daughter's hands she instinctively reaches out and touched one of the holes. When she suddenly felt as if something had left her, as if something that had been there her entire life had suddenly disappeared, Izuka's mother did not like this feeling; she felt hollow.
Izuka pulled her hand back in shock as she felt a tingly feeling shoot up her arm and into her chest. When the feeling subsided she wiggled her fingers testing to see if she could feel anything wrong with the limb, as she did this a cup that was on the kitchen table gently floated towards her. But as soon as she noticed this she stopped moving her fingers and the cup fell to the ground.
The shock of seeing herself use the same quirk as her mother was cut short when Izuka grabbed her mothers arm, she felt something she never had before the arm felt the same but at the same time there was an emptiness as she focused on the feeling the tingling feeling came back in her hands. She did not like the feeling of her mothers feeling like this; she wanted to fill the emptiness in her mother.
As soon as Izuka thought that she felt the tingling feeling intensify in her hands until it abruptly stopped, she could no longer feel the coldness in her mother but a pleasant warmth instead.
It took a second but when her mum recovered from whatever that was she looked towards the broken cup on the floor and back at Izuka. After that day Izuka's mum never looked at her the same way again.
Time skipped 2 years later.
Izuka was now 6 years old and Izuku was 4 and a half. Izuku had yet to develop a quirk so the family planned to go to the quirk doctors later that day. Izuku was super excited about finding out what his quirk was and was playing heroes with Izuka in the living room.
In all-might pyjamas Izuku stood proudly holding his All-might action figure and beside him stood Izuka in Mirko themed Pajamas holding an endeavour action figure. The two made the hero figures clash with imaginary villains.
"Sorry kid it's not gonna happen." the doctor blandly stated, the quirk doctor went on to explain that Izuku had 2 joints in his pinky toe and that it is a sign that he would not get a quirk.
Izuka remembers that day very well, because she could see her mother not looking at Izuku or the doctor but directly at her, she had a cold look in her eyes that day and she never said a word to Izuka for the rest of that day.
The next day Izuku and Izuka were in the back of their mum's car and were being driven to school, not a word was said as they drove. Once they arrived at school their mum said that Izuka won't be going into school today and once Izuku left the car to go to school Izuka and her mum started driving again.
The one to break the silence was her mum, "Why did you do it?" she asked in a neutral tone. This confused Izuka. "What do you mean mum?" she asked, tilting her head to one side.
"Why did you take Izuku's quirk!?" her mum yelled, scaring Izuka.
"I didn't take it!" she said back to her mother.
Her mother shook her head and pulled the car to a stop. Outside the car there was a part of the city Izuka did not recognise.
"Mum, where are we?" Izuka questioned
Her mother said nothing as she got out of the car, she opened the passenger door and took Izuka out.
Izuka was tearing up at this point when her mother said "I can't bring myself to love someone who will be a villain who took her brother's quirk, '' her mother spat "don't try to find your way back home either." And with that said Her mother Drove off, not even looking back.
Izuka just stood there staring in the direction her mother drove off in, she hoped that she would come back and get her so she waited. Eventually she began to get hungry. She glanced at the people passing by and at most they gave her a glance but continued with their day.
Izuka wandered around the city looking for a familiar place without success; she eventually sat against a dumpster in one of the many side streets. It was night now and she was getting cold, she started thinking about how Izuku might be feeling with her gone and she began to cry.
1 week later.
Izuka had been barely surviving day by day eating scraps of food out by the back entrance of a bakery. She waited for the staff to dispose of the food that had gone a bit stale or did not meet the bakeries standards.
The door to the bakery swung open and out came a man holding a bag of trash. The man then dumped the bag in a dumpster and with a sigh he went back inside.
Izuka rushed to the side of the dumpster and rummaged through the contents of the bag, finding a stale piece of bread she clambered back down. Izuka spun around at the sound of screaming, when she turned she saw a man around mid 50s with an unkept beard.
The man was screaming at her about being in his territory. While this was happening he was also walking towards her. The man had a crazed look in his eyes as he suddenly rushed towards her. And before she could react the man was upon her. His grip was like a vice as he grabbed her neck and slammed her into the wall of the bakery.
Izuka felt her windpipe constric not letting her breathe, as she struggled to break free from the man's hold; she could feel the strength slowly leaving her body. As she got more desperate she reached out her hand and grasped his arm and pulled. The tingle came rushing into her body as the man screamed out in pain before he crumpled to the ground.
Izuka gulped down air trying to fill her lungs, as the moment passed by and Izuka slowly calmed down realisation dawned on the young quirk stealer. about what she had done, but what shocked her most was that she didn't feel any trace of guilt. Instead of it she felt the warmth of a new quirk tingling under her skin and she liked the feeling.
