Now... Let's talk about something. If you recognise this story as 'Deku the Gray' then yes... It is by the same person who made that story a couple of months ago but then deleted it. Now if you think the reviews, don't be silly. It wasn't that. It's just that I made a massive mistake which was writing it. I just typed and typed without actually realising how dumb it was. Now here is what It will be like.

This story will contain Dark and gritty moments, strange and weird moments, questionable moments and potentially sexual moments in this story. So be ready for that. It was rated M+ for a reason.

Expect some OC's (ORIGINAL CHARACTERS) Who have either no purpose or little purpose to the story. Don't expect it to be the same MY HERO story you can read. It will follow a similar chain of events but from different views, and with different outcomes.

Take this story with a grain of salt, and please PM me if you want to review, only give positive or fair criticism. If you want to give harsh criticism, Private Message me yourself. I'd rather talk to you myself and understand why you gave harsh criticism.

And reason why i was gone for so long was because that I had to think for a minute on what to do, and got back into a bad hobby. And I had more ideas for stories I'd like to make. Those Stories will soon come out once I catch up to where the story was when I deleted it.

And... Sorry to sound like this, but i was the first Jiren Deku Fanfic on the website. I just deleted it before because I needed to change many things, and if you want to talk to me, you can private message me.

And last important thing I need to say. This isn't just a Jiren/Deku fanfic where Izuku is the exact same character as Jiren. Right now in my mind they are not even the same character.

Reason why they are not the same character or have much in common is because that Jiren has almost no character depth of his past, nothing unique or special about him or any character development until the end of the T.O.P (Tournament of Power) so I decided to have some fun with Izuku's character, and put my own spin on things, how I would like my Deku/Jiren to be.

We don't know Jiren's canon age but I assume he's around in his 40's or 50's in Human years but we got nothing on who he was back then character and personality wise, and this Izuku is a teenager and not an adult, so I can't really do anything but put a spin on it unless if you want something predictable.

At this point he's more so an OC then just based of off Jiren at this point. Later in the story at least. In terms of Izuku's personality in this fanfic, he's not just some cold individual who has a 'Might makes Right' complex, he's something a bit more... Deep.

obviously this won't be explained immediately as that would just ruin things, but in due time yes, and again. This isn't some basic Jiren/Deku Fanfic that someone could simply make, this Deku/Jiren character is something different from both of their respective sides.

If I were to explain what he actually is, it's nothing pretty, it's nothing nice or kind, it's nothing good, it's negative in many ways. That's how I think a Teenager Jiren would be at least. Or in this case this Deku/Jiren character.

If you want to give a review on criticism, don't sound insulting, just sound fair, and take this story with a grain of salt. Not everyone can write, and its Fanfiction. It's not a big deal.

5:30 AM

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Musutafu city was nothing but silent as the orange shimmering light called a star in the sky lit up every dark crevice in the city... well most of them

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

APARTMENT COMPLEX

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

This home was... poor to say the least... Dirt was on the walls, the wallpaper being teared slightly, spiderwebs in every spot it could be made... Overall, it was a mess... but that didn't matter all too much to him. All he needed was a 'base' of sorts... the type that could serve as a place to sleep. He wasn't all that picky.

Most of the rooms were wrecked and trashed, some spots having burns and claw marks. But he wasn't all that picky.

Izuku Midoriya. That's who owns such a place like this, a guy who had long black hair, wearing nothing but a cheap hoodie and sweatpants of all things. No socks or shoes. He was in a pose. A meditation stance, called the 'Lotus Position', his own body floating a couple feet of the ground while covered in a red aura.

He made no movements, not a single one. His chest wasn't rising up and down and his hair remained still. The only sort of movement that was occuring was that Red Aura.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

7:40 AM

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Sigh

he took a shallow breath in, losing his pose and standing on his two feet to look at the shattered window that showed the sun. He took two of his fingers and positioned them just below the sun.

his other fingers outstretched as he looked to be measuring the time.

'7:40 is it... Pathetic.'

Izuku turned around and walked out of his room, one that had no door with no hinges.

'School... I have no time for that...' he took a glance at the room that looked to be a kitchen. 'I have better time to use then waste it on Aldera' he grumbled before walking over to a larger window that only had a crack on it... Before falling off it's loose hinges down to the bottom.

'Read my mind...' Midoriya climbed out of the window before he began to...

Float up to the very top of that apartment complex, his feet touching the cold roof right before his bottom could.

'No clouds... this day may not be so terrible...' he sat there peacefully without any sense of annoyances.

He listened to the wind whistling, breathing in the air.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

8:20 AM

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

This process kept on going before a bird landed near him. A bird...

'A white tail eagle...' he gave a smooth glance at the bird as it's head tilted at him, his instincts not flaring up.

"You look... Small for a predator..." Izuku's hand reached into two boxes that were next to him, pulling out a loaf of bread that looked to be slightly moldy on one side.

"Here." The plastic was ripped off as the slices of bread left the package. "Take it. I'm not hungry, bird." the so called 'Malnourished White Tail Eagle' waddled slowly and carefully forward.

'It trusts me so easily. Or is it just oblivious to the potential danger it's in. maybe it's a pet?'

"Chou! Come down!" A voice rang out, behind the two, making them both turn around, seeing a woman climb up to the top of the roof.

The Eagle that was called 'Chou' then waddled up to the stranger without hesitating. "Chou! What have I told you about leaving mama so quickl-!" she then looked towards Izuku and stopped, making her face turn a bit red in embarrassment.

"O-o-oh... Y-you heard that... Didn't you...?" she chuckled to herself a bit shyly before scooping Chou into her arms.

"Yes... I did... Is that your bird."

"Y-yeah... Sorry if he caused issues. He's not normally like this... O-oh...! Can you help me with somethi-!" she stopped talking once she saw the slices of bread on the roof.

"is that... Yours-?"

"Mine. But now it's the bird that you call... Chou... take it." he grabbed a slice of bread and threw it at them.

Chou leaped out of his owner's arm and nibbled on the bread slowly. "The bread has some mold on it. I don't know enough about birds..."

"It should be fine... whomever you are...? Apologies sir... But do you have a name?" Izuku took a breath and breathe out, contemplating this question.

"Doesn't matter. What are you doing here... Just here to fetch your pet. If so, leave..."

"First of all... Rude... Second of all... I need some help from you stranger... Do you know where Tori Tori street is? I don't have my phone on me and i got a bit lost..." she replied sheepishly at that last comment, while gently scratching Chou's back.

"You got lost..."

She blinked as she stopped petting her bird. "Yeah...?

"With a bird..."

"Y-yeah...?"

"That can fly..." Izuku tried to remind her of her own situation, being lost with a bird that you are friends with.

"O-oh... I..." Her face was a bit flushed.

"I get it now... B-but... Chou isn't the most helpful with directions..."

'Great...'

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

ALDERA MIDDLE SCHOOL

8:47 AM

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

"All right class! That's everyone... Everyone expect for... Sora... Sora? Are you present?" The teacher of Aldera middle school called out for 'Sora' but he wasn't even here.

"He's not here?"

"Figures..."

"When is he ever here?"

"Sora?! All right then... No response... No attendance..." The teacher sighed as he thought of Sora for a second.

'This is the 30th time he hasn't been present in a row... that boy...' He put a hand on his mouth, seemingly tired of this charade.

'But at this point... I shouldn't even be calling for him, not since when he pulled that stunt on us...'

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Flashback Start.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

It was a couple of weeks ago, in a school assembly, as everyone was here, except for Izuku Midoriya.

"Now! To conclude our asse-!"

BANG

one of the doors to the auditorium was slammed wide open, very loudly and suddenly, as Midoriya walked in wearing nothing but a hoodie, sweatpants. No shoes, no socks, no uniform. And no sense of respect.

His hands were in his pocket as he was walking barefoot, before pulling out what looked to be a pack of cigarettes. "Carry on." He leaned against the wall while the cigarette seemed to light itself.

"I'm feeling generous for once. So you have my attention... For as long as this cigarette lasts..."

"Huh. What is this jerk doing here?" whispered one of the students nearby. Another shrugged. "Who knows, but it's not like he'd be missed. I've heard he's a total waste of space." They both chuckled, but not without some worry.

Izuku took a long drag from his cigarette, his eyes narrowing as he exhaled a thin stream of smoke. He glanced around the auditorium, taking in the surprised and irritated faces of his classmates. Some of them were glaring at him, others were shaking their heads in disbelief.

He'd never been one for following the rules, and today was no exception.

The principal, cleared her throat, trying to regain control of the situation. "Mr Sora, what do you think you're doing?" she demanded, her voice cold.

Izuku shrugged, taking another drag from his cigarette. "You wanted me to be here... So... What's so important you had to gain my attention like this?" He asked, his tone almost bored.

The principal's expression darkened further. "Young man, you are disrespecting not only this school, but your fellow students and myself as well. That cigarette is against school rules, and your behavior is unacceptable."

Izuku took another drag from his cigarette before replying, "And."

The principal's face twitched. "And what?" she asked, her voice tight.

"I shouldn't be conversing with someone like you..." He took a much bigger drag, a huge drag that was so big the entire cigarette burned up, leaving only a small stub in his mouth, as if it was nothing.

He blew the smoke that was in his body out, as a cloud, dissipating quickly in the air.

The principal's expression twisted into a scowl. "Young man, that's enough!" she barked, stepping forward. "You're going to have to face the consequences for your actions."

Midoriya spit out the tiny stub that was left of the cigarette, moving the long hair he had out of his face.

"We're done here now... You ran out of time." Izuku began to leave, walking calmly but quickly toward the exit, his hands back in his pockets.

"Wait just a moment, young man!" the principal called after him, but he ignored her, leaving the auditorium.

The other students watched him go, some with surprise and confusion, others with disdain or even envy. Izuku was always an enigma.

The principal stood at the front of the auditorium, her face red with anger. "Well," she sighed, "I suppose that's one way to handle things. But mark my words, young man. You will pay for that disrespect." She turned back to the class, trying to regain control of the situation. "Now, as I was saying before we were so rudely interrupted..."

A blonde boy with spiky hair only glared at the door that Midoriya had exited from, not a harsh or mean or any kind of glare. But a curious and interested one.

'He's kind of cool.'

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Flashback end.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

'That boy has been so troublesome... But ever since he disappeared from this shithole, we at least had some level of silence...'

'But still... A kid managed to humiliate us without any punishment... yeah... Fuck him...'

The teacher finished reminiscing of that event, and everyone had stopped talking about it, only one student stay interested.

'Sora... He's just a pile of crap... but I did he say he was cool... and he still is...'

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

APARTMENT COMPLEX

2:15 PM

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

"So I then found Chou inside of my washing machine! Where my pants were about to get cleaned!" The Bird Lady laughed as she was rambling on about some story.

"Hmmm" Izuku only grumbled, acting like he cared about her story.

"I had to almost go inside the washing machine just to see if he didn't do anything... dirty!" she laughed again as she fell on her bottom.

'Is she done rambling... It's getting annoying...'

"Hooo! I'm having too much fun stranger! My name is Chiba Sinju... god im tired..."

Izuku looked at her, unimpressed. "I don't care about your name. Just get out of here... I'll tell you the location of the street..."

Chiba perked up at this. "Really? You'd tell us where to find the street?"

"It's 8 O'clock from my perspective." He pointed to his 8 O'clock view. "So go straight in that direction for 20 minutes... Once you walk past a restaurant called Washoku, that's when you've gone too far, If you pass by a school, then your in the right direction. You'll find a small alleyway on your left. Go in there, and you'll find the entrance to the street. Now, if you're done wasting my time, I have things to do." Izuku lied, not even bothering to look at them.

Chiba tilted her head, clearly unconvinced. "You sure you don't want us to buy you dinner first or something? I could make some really good ramen." She smiled sweetly, batting her eyelashes.

"No. You don't even know my name, i'm just a stranger to you. I don't need your food." Izuku said, still not even glancing at them. He was really starting to get annoyed.

Chiba pouted, crossing her arms. "Fine. But remember, I could've made you some really good ramen. You'll be missing out!" She grinned, nudging the bird slightly.

Izuku rolled his eyes, not caring. "Just get out of here, already. I have better things to do." He muttered, turning away from them.

Chiba stood up, brushing herself off, while carrying Chou "Well, alrighty then. Thanks for the info, stranger!" She grinned, giving him a little wave as she climbed back down.

Izuku sighed, rubbing his temples. 'I hate when people waste my time like that. I'm supposed to be something much more then some stranger...' He thought to himself as he looked behind him.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

3:15 PM

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

He kept himself planted on the roof of the apartment complex, just listening to the wind as it whistled an out of pace tune.

'So... That big woman... Around 20 meters... Growth quirk... She doesn't deserve my attention... Though her size and strength could be of some use against me... But everybody else that was there won't stand much of a chance...'

He reminisced on his senses, feeling a giant sized woman, landing a dropkick on some smaller guy. 'Her potential is vastly limited... Nothing too special but she could survive...'

But the silence and whistling was interrupted by his stomach grumbling silently.

'Food...' he reached into his pockets but pulled out nothing but fluff, as he was dirt poor. 'Nothing...' he glanced at the moldy bread and took a bite out of a slice, it tasting like dirt.

'Not too bad... I've had worse...' he took another bite, ignoring the taste of it and definitely ignoring the mold.

'But it's been too long since I've eaten something that was worth anything.' he finished the slice while standing up, feeling uneasy.

Izuku then walked slowly until he fell of the building, falling off an apartment complex that looked to be around 6 stories high.

'Let's do something more proactive...'

he gracefully landed on his two bare feet, while landing on specks of broken glass. Not that it could pierce his skin.

'Maybe there'll be someone who can make me less tired...' He walked over to a fence with barbed wire on the top and leaped over it casually.

'Like that could ever happen...' He turned around to face the apartment complex, which was rundown entirely, there being large holes and vines on the building, the smell of trash and rust everywhere, empty barrels with ash and dust in them.

'When was the last time I've even had to use Jade...'

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Outside Aldera Middle School

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Chiba was humming a tune to herself while her eagle was perched on her head. "So, What do you want for lunch?" Chou cheeped a bit, like if they were having an actual conversation.

"Just the regular? That's cool." She glanced at the people were filing out of Aldera, remembering the directions she was given.

'If I walk past a school... I'll be in the right direction... That's what he said wasn't it? Then he said, take a... Right?'

Chirp Chirp Chirp!

"A left...?" She glanced at her left and saw an alleyway. 'Actually yeah, it's a left. A bird has better directions than me apparently...' she thought as she walked over to the alleyway, her eagle named Chou still on her head.

'Wonder who that guy was... He seemed pretty nice at first...'

"Ahhh... Fuck... Is he still following me? I might have to get out of to-!" A gooey, slimy, grimey sludge monster came out of a manhole cover, like if it was a normal occurrence for him.

"Wwwwell now! I'm saved!" The sludge monster wrapped up Chiba in his slime while Chou squawked and got off her head.

"W-W-Wait! Let go of me you sludge fuck!" She squirmed but the sludge got her good.

"Sorry! Some number one hero is coming for me! Gotta hide in some fucker!" He laughed out loud as his sludge started to enter her mouth

SCREECH!

The eagle then scratched at the Sludge's beady eye "AHHH! fuck! You feathered bitch!" Resulting in the bird getting slapped towards a concrete wall violently.

"No! Chou-!" The slime went down her mouth heading straight for her stomach and insides. "Don't put up a fight! Makes it less painful for you and easier for me! Win Win!"

The sludge then stopped going down her throat, as they both froze. "W-W-wh-why can't... I... move...!"

He was then ripped away from Chiba, the slime leaving her throat and body, as he was manhandled.

"So... First one of the day..." It's hands were having a sort of interesting grip on the sludge villain, it's black hair flowing gently.

Chiba landed on the floor, coughing up and gagging on whatever sludge remained inside of her, as she took a look at her 'Saviour'

'I-its him...'

"L-let me go you... S-s-shit-!" He yelled to let go, but gasped once he felt his sludge begin to disappear.

"W-w-!"

"Burn." Izuku's hands started to glow a red orangish shade, as the sludge that was right on his hands started to evaporate.

"N-n-no! L-let go you... Fucking! AHHHHH!" He felt his entire body get turned to a more hardened and less malleable sludge, one that had a gray shade to it. He then dropped to the floor, his sludge body being as malleable as cheap cement.

Sigh

He breathed in and out, at the interesting display he demonstrated, and how disappointing it was.

"Pathetic... You should be grateful that you hooked my attention over to weak trash like you... At this rate, killing you would be an act of mercy." He saw a dozen purses that were inside the grayish liquid on the concrete floor and picked it up.

"Just a thief... You would of gotten away If I wasn't so bored. But these purses and wallets aren't worth anything... Pitiful."

CLANK

The manhole cover was sent right into the air, so high up it was barely visible.

"So... What's managed to stop you from running away! Are you ready to face me!" A loud and confident voice came from the manhole cover, a big muscular man came out of it, wearing a white T-shirt, green military type trousers, big boots, and a large toothy smile on his face.

'All Might...'

All Might took a glance at Chiba and Chou, his smile widening for a reason.

"It's Fine Now! Why? Because I am here!"

'Finally... Maybe this day won't be so boring...'

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ

Sora and Izuku Midoriya are the same person, it's just another name Izuku uses for himself.

All Might thinks Izuku is the sludge Villain, and Chiba isn't ready to explain everything. Midoriya isn't opposed to Fighting All Might. In fact he insists that this fight happens.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ
