The year is 2356, since 200 hundred years people have been getting powers rangin from longer fingers to manipulate weather at 5 years old, to minimize the problem created by this a child reaching the age of 5 will have to be examined by a quirk doctor
/At the doctor's office, hour 17:30\
Congratulation! Your daughter has a very powerful telekinetic quirk, and it also seems like it has a little bit.... of pyrokinetic?
Anybody in both of your family's history had a fire quirk?
Yagi:No, as far as I know in my family, there was no fire quirk user
Inko:My grand grand grandfather could breathe fire
Izumi:YES, I WILL BECOME THE BEST HERO!!
Doctor:it seems like it, little lady. You will become a powerful hero
Izuku:And me?
the Doctors face contorted finally he signed:Sorry kid, but you do not have a quirk
Inko:What do you mean he doesn't have a quirk?
Yagi was staring at the Doctor with a hard gaze then changed his attention trying to cheer izuku
Though Izuku was still as a statue with eyes wide open, the sadness clear as day
Doctor:Your son has a double joint and has too little quirk DNA, as a lot of quirkless people have this, we are using it as proof,
I'm sorry, but your son won't be able to be a hero.
Toshi:But Doctor izuku here loves to play with fire, and he has no scars? He burns himself a lot each time we think we have every object that can start a fire he finds another
Doc: As Madame Inko said, her grandfather had a fire quirk. Young izuku here might have a little fireproof thanks to that, but nothing major.
And with that, the world of izuku comes crumbling dow
Inko: Thank you, doctor.
/Time skip to the house\
While Inko and Izumi were happily talking, Toshi was trying to give morals to Izuku, who had his word thrown around
"Dad, can I still be a hero?" asked Izuku tears slowly forming and falling
Toshi wasn't sure how to respond to that, on one hand, he didn't have a quirk, and hero work is very dangerous, on the other hand, there was a slim possibi- no!.
False hope would only hurt more. With that, Toshi gave his answer to izuku
"Izuku i-..there are other jobs where you can be a hero too! Less dangerous jobs, like a cop, firemen, or a doctor!"
He stopped talking to search Izukus face for a couple of seconds, seeing his saddened face broke his heart, but he had to do it, so he continued hoping he could convince Izuku.
"Being a hero is a very dangerous and hard profession even with those who have quirks! While you not having one doesn't mean anything, it would make your job a lot more dangerous and hard. "
Izuku had tears running down his face "øk dad".
izuku went to his room where he stayed for the rest of the afternoon and night only stepping out for diner, crying himself to sleep
/With Izumi and inko\
I'll be the BEST hero ever!!!
I'll be the next number 1!!
Inko:(smilling) I'm sure you'll become a very good hero Izumi
While they were talking, Toshi entered the room. He sat on the chair and began watching Izumi as she did silly motions with her hand, making him chuckle
"You'll be a great hero one Day Izumi "i'm sure of it, "he thought
"I can't wait to tell Shoto and katchan,"
"You'll tell them tomorrow, now lets make dinner," said Inko while getting up and heading to the kitchen.
/the next day at the schoolyard \
"Hey! Shoto, kacchan,katsumi, did you guys go to the quirk doctor?"
Shoto:Yes! I even got 2, I got fire and ice! I'll be invincible
Katsumi: "What do you think?! of course if we were to be the best we need quirks!
I'm a walking kiloton bomb! every part of me can explode!" She shouted with a crazed look on her face
Ha! Of course and Katsumi and I have the best quirks
With this, we'll become the next NUMBERS ONE!
Boomed Katsuki while also making explosions with his hands
"So what is yours? and where is izuku?"
Asked Shoto while also looking around scanning the area looking for Izuku
"I have a very powerful telekinetic power! I can send anything flying!
And since I m the best, I also got fire resistance!" You could almost see her eyes shine from the excitement she was feeling
But wher-the bell rang, signaling the start of the school day
"Come on, let's go!"
Thought, where is izuku? i thought he was behind me?'
/with izuku\
'i m late! I m late!'" school started 10 minutes ago! Run goddamit, " said izuku while also slapping his legs, "I m almost there! I knew I shouldn't have watched the villains and heroes fight, but they were so cool!'
'I made it!'
Just as Midoriya opened the door, the teacher stopped her rambling.
"Izuku midoriya, you are late,"
"Sorry, sensei, there was a villain attack I was stuck there."
"Just this once I will let you go,"
/during recess\
Izuku was playing in the sandbox, thinking about how he could become a hero.
"Hey, izuku!"Hearing his name being called, he lifted his gaze toward the group coming toward him.
In front was Kachan and Katsumi with Shoto and Izumi following closely behind them.
"Hi guys," he greeted them.
"Izuku, what is your quirk?!" asked katsuki the moment he was close enough to Izuku
What should I say? should I say it's something useless or something lame
Whataboutthetruthnotoorisk-...
While Izukus's brain was on overdrive Izumi and Shoto caught up to them
Izumi looked at Izuku, seeing that he was not gonna answer she decided to spell his doom
"He is quirkless."
Wha-"Before Shoto could create a word katsuki exploded on little Izuku
"You are quirkless?! How are you gonna be a hero then?!"
"I can still be a her-"Izuku tried to defend himself, but Katsuki wasn't finished
"YOU CANT BECOME A HERO!, NOT EVEN A SIDEKICK!" he shouted the others just watch
/Ring ring ring motherfucker!\
"Come on let's go to class," said Izumi
They leave Izuku behind to quickly make it to class
/6 hours later\
After school was done izuku waited for the others outside the school gate
Katsuki and katsumi were very skeptical on the question of izuku being a hero after all he is quirkless! Weak! slow!
Izumi While not as much as the 2 explosive siblings doubted her brothers capabilities in becoming a hero
Shoto didn't really care about much so he didn't think much of it.
As the others came out of school izuku joined them and they began walking home at that time izuku didn't know that it would be his last peaceful walk with all 4 of his friends,
/4 years later, avoiding being seen by the others\
End of school izuku had a couple of confrontations with his friends
'They hurt me a little but they probably didn't mean it' he thought
Izuku was returning home with a couple of bruises thank death, that he has fire resistance or else there would burns aswell
"I can become a hero i will be one I will show them!"he was quietly muttering to himself
He was using the underpass that he normally uses when a sound called for his intention
"huh?" he watched as a puddle of slime gathered on the ground
"Damn heroes always ruining my fun" a voice called out
It took Izuku 3 seconds to realize it came from the puddle on the ground, wait, 'what did he say? heroes ruining his fun? he must be a villain! Dammit! There is no exit around and he is too close-'
"Would you look at that a fresh defenseless suit in front of me now would you kindly let me take čøňþrøł".
He snarled just before jumping straight at izuku and engulfing him in his disgusting body,
"Don't fight, don't worry, soon you'll be gone" he whispered in his ear.
Izuku started to quickly trash and get away from the slime trying to get into his mouth slowly the slime was getting more aggressive" just open you're goddam mouth!" he shouted having enough of being discrete
Izukus's lungs burned, he couldn't breathe and even if he opened his mouth the slime would get inside (which is disgusting,)
His vision slowly started to fade to black,' well then my end is here apparently he thought,
Texas smash!" someone shouted and the world regained its colours
Izuku was trying to get what was left of the slime out of his face because of that he couldn't clearly see who saved him
"Than-'cough cough'-you sir" he spoke coughing some leftover slime and finally when he regained his vision he noticed that he was infront of his idol!
"ALL MIGHT" he exclaimed with great renewed vigor, " can you sign my notebook please?!" He quickly opened his bag and gave al might his notebook and a pencil, " OF COURSE! ANYTHING FOR A BRAVE FAN!"exclaimed all might with his booming voice.
he grabbed the the notebook and pencil and crudely wrote his name on 2 page but izuku didn't mind, after all, it's all might!
But then izuku decided to ask the question on his mind a question that means everything to him "all might? I have a question? Could you answer it for me please?"
All might had been in the middle of gathering leftover goo that he missed the first time, once he collected it he decided to indulge izukus question and hoped it wasn't important."ASK AWAY MY BOY".
"Is it possible for the quirkless to become a hero?" Izuku asked with sparkles and hope in his eyes however dim they might have been.
All might became suspiciously silent,
He was racking his brain to find a way to tell izuku what he has been telling him since the day at the Doctor, but without giving out his civilian identity.
"MY BOY WHILE BEING A HERO IS A VERY NOBLE THING ITS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS!, VILAINS WOULDN'T THINK TWICE TO KILL,MAUL OR DISMEMBER YOU, THERE ARE JOBS OUT THERE JUST AS IF NOT MORE HEROIC THAN BEING A HERO!
, FIREMEN, POLICE , DOCTOR, WHILE YOU CLEARLY HAVE THE WILL YOU'RE BODY WON'T BE ABLE TO PUSH FOURTH MY BOY, THINK THIS TROUGH!, NOW MY TIME IS RUNNING LOW SO I MUST GO! GOODBYE YOUNG MIDORIYA,SORRY MY BOY BUT YOU BEING A HERO IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE !
All might began explaining calmly then began slowly rushing it feeling that he won't be able to hold his transformation for much longer,
Of course there was more to say but he needed to drive his point home into izukus mind, so he hastily without mu h thought added whatever he could and leaped way into the city to deliver the slime filled soda bottles, leaving a heartbroken and dream shattered izuku alone under the pass,
izuku couldn't believe it but he had heard correctly. even his idol told him he couldn't become a hero, tears welled in his eyes as he slowly gathered his scattered belongings and stuffed them in his backpack, he arrived home half an hour later then he would have, battered and bruised his clothes damaged,
toshi quickly rushed to his side to inspect the injuries and clothes and also to make sure nothing was wrong ,
but the damaged was light on the outside the true injurie the one that is truly bleeding, was invisible to the naked eye,
at least for now.
/A couple of months later\
His life continued full of torment, did his sister even knew what she was doing?! Why was she even attacking him?
"Izuku come on dont hide! We are only helping you!" Her voice resonated around, did she really believe that?!
He could see the feral grin on katsuki and katsumi's face's, those 2 have serious issues, he looked around nothing much of utility, he grabbed a rock and made sure to throw it away from but not in a noticeable way.
It worked, they went to the sound, izuku used his chance to lose them completely, at first he walked slowly to not make a sound then when he was sure that he was far away enough he began sprinting towards an alleyway.
He ducked behind a couple trashcan to hide for a couple minutes and also regain his breath, then he he looked around while trying to be sneaky, the alley was considerably long, there was trashcans and bins filled with trash some even overflowing, there were puddles of questionable origins all over the ground.
He walked toward the road at the other side of the alley and he noticed a sign just before it
|-history shop-|
|-history before quirks, how was it before?-|
Izuku was curious now at school they always talk about quirks during history lesson's, he entered the shop? School?,
The first thing he noticed was that there were rows upon rows of books, and a old desk in front of all there was an old man writing something "h-hello? Izuku called out startling the man making him drop his pen.
He looked up from his book noticing the small form of izuku" ah hello child, come in come in" he warmly greeted him.
"What is this place?" Izuku asked the old man,
The man smiles softly " its a library, one that nobody uses but i still maintain it,
More importantly it contains history that the people in charge today doesn't want it to be know", He Strangely added.
"Huh? Why wouldn't they want it to be know?" He asked, confused,
This time the old man frowned " this is old history, this is the beginning of humanity, it's empires, it's age, it's fundamental laws!,
Everything before quirks were nothing more than story's told in books and cartoons",
"So the books contain knowledge of the time before quirks?" He asked the old man curiosity slowly building up inside him, after all they didn't teach this at school!, they always taught about about the era of collapse, quirk warlords and the mutant insurrection,
And probably more quirk time problems or discovery, izuku is racking his brain to think if they ever taught about the time before quirks but he came out blank.
"Can it read them?" He asked suddenly,
The old man had smile reaching his ears " of course child, but I would like to make a deal with you" he began Izuku's smile growing in size then into confusion.
"What deal?, I don't have money" he shuffled on his feet.
Hahaha.. no kid it's not money I'm old and getting pension, i don't need money, no, my deal is that you read a book or parts of it and before going, you tell them to me" the old man was jovial that someone would actually use his library for actual learning and not play games.
Sure! And that way, I'll go over what I've learned!" His smile shined like a star then he stopped and asked the man" what kind of book should I start with?"
The old man ran his hand through his beard "it depends, what do you like?, culture?, Religion?, conflicts?,
simple history?, mythology?,
Famous persons?, inventions?, that is a vague question that depends entirely on you kid"
"Then what would you start with?" Izuku asked as he really didn't know where to start from, the library looked so big and vast to his eyes.
The old man approached a bookshelf
"Well...then I'll say start about conflict and wars sometimes they make you think more". He told izuku puling out a book and giving it to him.
"Be as it may the book is far in the future compared to anything else you can read here, but this peculiar war has always kept the attention of the youth like you".
Izuku turned the book around and read the title.
|-the great war, the end of an era-|
