Idea 35.

I'm open to people suggesting things like ships but remember I write Fem!Izuku (Izumi) x other girls and I'm more interested in some pairs than others. Rare pairs are very welcome, you all know me.

Relationships such as potential friends, mentors, or family members (adoption is fine)

Miscellaneous stuff like what school Izumi may attend or if she didn't, whether she's a hero student, criminal, or villain, key parts of her personality, hero and quirk names and story titles, what type of story it is, hell you can all even suggest where OFA goes, etc.

Instead of just putting out ideas, I also did a little writing for each one but that DOESN'T mean this beta writing would be in the story if said idea takes off.

Anyways, feel free to leave suggestions in the reviews and of course which idea they pertain to.

Enjoy, more notes at the end!

Title: Lock On (?)

*Bakugo POV*

Much as he hated her, Deku was a fast little shit.

"Don't even bother," the blonde growled, stuffing his hands in his pockets as the extras that stuck to him began protesting, "she's just a lying fucking coward that can only run."

That quirkless idiot not only was aiming at hero schools but had U.A on her list of all things. She needed to get real with herself and quit fucking with everyone's life by being in their way with her fantasies.

Someone like her would never be a hero.

*All Might POV*

The greenette before him fiddled with the pair of adjustable goggles in her hand, a habit no doubt, while she stared down and brushed off his words as if they were nothing.

"Ah yeah, that's what I thought!" the girl laughed nervously, a bit of a cobbled together smile on her face, "I was just curious about a hero's thoughts on the matter," the greenette explained. "I don't even think I'd make a very good hero," she exclaimed, almost as if that was something to brag about, and Toshinori nodded hesitantly since he had no real words to respond with.

"I see," the man quietly replied, "then I must be on my way."

"Right, right," she agreed with a couple bows, "have a nice day!"

"You as well, young lady," the hero spoke solemnly but the strong face she put on had remained.

He knew he had just squashed this girl's last hope but it was for the best.

All Might leapt away but only a few moments later did he realize that he lost the villain that he'd captured. He was already at his time limit and his last efforts of searching provided nothing until he had already reverted back. The sludge villain now had a hostage, a young blonde student whose explosive quirk was making things hard for the onsite heroes, and Toshinori cursed his own carelessness. They couldn't allow for the student to be held longer with how the villain was suffocating him but the heroes also couldn't act carelessly. Just as the destructive stalemate dragged on, something had hit the villain in his eyes, causing him to release his hold and fall back, and the student wrestled his way out with the help of his explosive quirk.

The sudden but blessed opening had finally given the heroes on scene the time and drive to strike and only in the aftermath did the hidden number one find something on the sidelines. It was some kind of weighted pellet, the item broken open and hollow on the inside, with the lingering sent of pepper on it. It didn't take a detective to realize that this was likely to be what stunned the sludge villain but he had no lead on just who had done such a thing and how no one else had noticed. While the hero's mind was wandering, he felt a gentle breeze and turned into the direction of the wind to look at the setting sun. It was slowly falling behind a distant building and the man sighed as he trudged away, he had an appointment at U.A.

It truly was time to pass on this quirk.

*Izumi POV*

It was strange the things that stuck with you from childhood.

Izumi would always remember that one time that Katsuki had lost when they were little kids. It was a squabble between him and a few older kids but it was a time in which he needed help and Izumi ran away because she was scared. She couldn't move things with her mind, she couldn't breath fire, and she didn't have super strength.

That day had cemented that Izumi wasn't hero material.

But she wanted to be.

She had run back after a few moments that day but the other kids had already left and Katsuki hated her from that day on. The damage had been done and it stuck with her all the way. So when she saw him all the way down in that street and in trouble, Izumi, with an adjustment of her goggles, did the one thing that she was best at.

She took her slingshot and fired.

No matter the distance, it had, of course, hit and the greenette was on her way.

"100 shots, 100 hits," she said with a sad smile on her lips.

Even she could still be useful.

Notes and Stuff

I've done quirkless Izumi before but I don't think I've done one where she aims to be a hero and is definitively on the weaker side. I've also done troubled Izumis but not in this way before so I wanted to do something with that.

Continuing with my love for One Piece, I kind of got the idea to use Usopp as the referenced character. Honestly, Usopp would kind of be what canon Izuku could have been had he remained quirkless. I'd stick with Usopp's pre-timeskip skills in this idea and for a pairing I was thinking maybe Hatsume cause I've never done the pair before and given her personality, love for support stuff, and her quirk Zoom especially, then I thought that might be interesting.

Anyways, feel free to leave me suggestions in the reviews!
