A/N: Izuku's POV unless said otherwise

I had everything a little 4 year old boy could have wished for. A family, a warm home, meals and most importantly a place where I felt I was being accepted or so I thought until that day.

Ohh how I wish that day never existed in my life.

Flashback brought to you by a 4 year old Izuku scared to death from what he sees

A shadow was forming around my mother and I didn't quite get what it was. It looked like her but also not. However it was following her and she didn't seem to see it. Still I didn't get what this was all about, so I decided to talk. 

Me: Mommy, what is that thing?

Mother: What thing?

Me: You got a shadow following you.

Mother: A shdaow?

Me: Yes.

Mother: Where?

Me: Right there.

Mother: I don't see anything my cute cupcake.

Not see?

How?

It is there!

It is watching you mommy!

It follows you as well.

And does the same thing you do!

Me: But it there.

Mother: Are you sure.

Me: Mh!

Mother: How does it look like?

Me: A bit like you... it is floating and some dots around it too.

Mother: Izu, can you point where it is?

I did as my mother asked and pointed towards the shadow that I saw. It looked harmless really but it was creeping me out as well. The drakness was around and it was looking at me the moment I pointed at it. That scared me soo much. That thing whatever it was turned towards me instead of looking at my mother and started to float closer to me. It was still attached to my mother but it came closer and I couldn't hear what it was saying but some muttering which sounded like chanting.

Me: KYAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

No!

I don't want this!

Get away from me!

I am scared!

Mommy!

I don't want this!

Please!

Mommy!

Get this away from me!

The closer it got the more afraid I was until I ran and hid under the next table trying to make the muttering stop. It was too much for me. 

Mother: Izu!

Me: Mommy I am scared..... Make it stop .....please.

Mother: It's alright Izu.

No...

It's coming closer!

I am scared!

I don't want this!

Me: KYAAAAAAA!

No it wasn't. That thing was still around her and I didn't get what it was. Not only was it watching me but it was reaching out. I was so scared that I didn't let my mother near me at all. 

Mother: Stay there! I'll call help!

I didn't know what was going on but that thing was there and it was still watching me, reaching out, trying to grab me. A black person floating without legs but being attached to my mother was something that made me fear getting closer to it. If anything it looked like something straight out of a nightmare. 

Mother: Izu, help is on the way.

Whatever my mother meant was a mystery to me until our doorbell rang and some people with shadows of their own came into our house after my mother let them in. They looked like people working for a hospital or being from an ambulance team but that didn't matter to me at all. These people had shadows on them as well and they looked even worse. 

One shadow had tentacles all over the body and they wear reaching out to me. The other one had plant like veins and thorns around it. 

Me: GET AWAY FROM ME!

It was too much for my 4 year old mind. I was afraid, I was scared and nothing was making it better. The people tried to come closer to me but each time I would move away or run away from them. Could you blame for doing that if they had something black attached to their back and then trying to actually touch me?

Hell no.

I was not gonna find out what would happen if they do manage to get me at all. So I ran while I cried soo desperately until I couldn't hid anymore. Even then I started fighting back while crying and panicking soo much until I blacked out.

End of Flashback brough to you by Izukus new quirk manifistation

My Quirk is offically called Erasure like the one from the Erasure hero Eraserhead since the doctors belive it is the same one but it's not. I could see quirks and not feel them or erase them. They were trying to communicate with me but I didn't care at all. I didn't wanted to listen to their chanting or what they would say.

I was scared for all my life. 

I can't remember a single time I was not afraid of them at all.

Then times came where I was all alone as well....

Sometimes I feel like life hates me and wants to get rid of me!

But at the same time I know that life doesn't let me die so easily because I tried it to kill myself mutriple times. 13 times to be exactly and every time something would be there to stop me from dying.

Me: *sigh* for how long do I have to endure this any longer?

I was actually sitting at a rooftop and looking at the city right beneathe my feets. The people were all walking around and I could see their quirks attached to them. For me they still looked like shadow people but worse, almost demonic. It was scary and up until today I would avoid touching them. The feeling on its own was weird and it send shivers down my spine as well as made me feel all cold.

The effect however was erasing the persons quirk whenever I would touch a shadow for a specific time. Usually that time span is pretty random. It could range from mere 5 minutes up to hours and I had no controll over it.  This was why they put my quirk down as being Erasure which was soo wrong.

Me: At least there are no people up here.

It feels nice to be left alone and not have to fear them...

Mom, I wonder if things would be different if you were still around.

Maybe I would learn to controll my fear and approach them...

Maybe but just maybe....

Ah who am I kidding!

I would rather stay away from them.
