Inko Midoryia had died at the age of 32, when her son was 12.
When news of this reached her husband and father of her child, he decided instead of taking care of his child, he would send money for him to sustain himself.
After he attended her funeral, he just left.
He started sending more money than usual to Izuku, but it was clear that he didn't care what happened to him.
Present day
Izuku was jumping on the walls of the alleyway, dodging a hero with engines on his arm.
"How did I get myself in this situation?!" Izuku thought, as he jumped torwards the hero.
"Oh right, I tried helping someone... and now this guy thinks I'm a vigilante. Well, good thing that I have my hero hoodie to hide my face." Izuku thought.
He in fact was wearing a hero hoodie. It was the last hero hoodie he had before he sold it, and it did a flawless job at hiding his face in the dim alley light.
Earlier, Izuku had gone out for a walk when he heard a young man scream in the alley way. He had rushed to see what was happening, and what he saw disgusted him.
There was an old looking man with a beer in his left hand, cornering a small boy with an Allmight T-shirt. The boy seemed scared for his life.
Izuku, being a reasonable and responsible human being did what any human would do at seeing an old man cornering a small boy. He ran torwards the man.
Izuku had tried to puch the man lightly, but since he hadn't had any proper training with his new strength, he had not pulled his punch enough.
He has heard a loud crack from the man as his fist connected.
The man's jaw was hit right off, and he fell to the ground.
The little kid screamed and ran away in fear.
Izuku's eyes widened at what he did.
"Oh no.. what did I do.. what did I do.. why did I do that... I should had just yelled or something...why did I do that?... I'm so-" Izuku's thoughts were interrupted as he heard what he thought was a car from the edge of the alley, and a shadow of a man with something poking from his arms appeared over Izuku.
Izuku was kneeling infront of the body, and had his head down.
"Hey! What are you doing! Get away from that man!" the man yelled.
Izuku froze, he slowly pulled his hoodie over his head in fear, and he started to brainstorm on what to do.
"Put your hands up and turn around so I can see your face!" the man yelled.
As Izuku stood up, the man gasped, seeing the state of the other man.
Izuku hadn't turned around yet, so the man couldn't see his terrified face.
"Put your hands behind your head! I'm arresting you for manslaughter!" the man yelled.
The sun started to set, and the shadows from the alleys got bigger.
"Where..." Izuku said.
"What?" The man asked, slowly gettng closer to him, with handcuffs in his right hand.
"Where were you... when this man was about to abuse that little boy?..." Izuku said in a sad, but firm voice.
The man got closer, and reached for Izuku's left hand with the handcuffs.
"Shut up you murderer." the man said, grabbing Izuku's wrist.
"Where were you?!" Izuku yelled as he turned, and hit the man in the chest with half of the strength used on the old man.
This was enough to send the hero flying back, and out of the alley.
The man was Ingenium.
Now
Izuku tried to tackle the man, but the hero was too fast. While dodging to the left, the man went for a neck chop, but Izuku smacked the hero's hand away.
"Ok... so Ingenium has thrusters on his elbows... He avoids using them too much to not over heat them. If they over heat, he can't use them. I guess I'll have to use that to my advantage." Izuku thought in a hurry.
The hero went for a right hook, but Izuku caught the hero's arm and swung him to the alley wall.
The hero grunted and fell to the ground, unconscious.
"Or... I could do that." Izuku thought.
He quickly went to check for a pulse, and was relieved when he found one.
Izuku heard police sirens in the distance, and took that as a sign to quickly make his way out of the alley.
"What... did I do..." Izuku thought.
He just wanted to go buy some food.
He was panicking, he didn't know what to do.
"What if he saw my face?... will the kid tell the police my description?.. Wait.. can I still go to a hero school? Oh no.. my future is ruined... I think I'm gonna throw up..." were Izuku's thoughts.
Izuku's thoughts were halted when a very important detail entered his mind.
"He was there, and he didn't notice him.. The man was right there, and Ingenium couldn't hear him.."
His eyes widened. The hero, a pro hero, would not have gotten there in time.
"What if there are more people like that.. have hero's just ignored them? How many people had been hurt or killed just becaue a pro hero got careless." Izuku thought.
