Summary: Izuku has a particularly bad run in with bullies as a child, changes schools and eventually priorities. He becomes a quirkless detective, and the only case he can't solve is the one of a mysterious quirk less vigilante that happens to be himself.
Izuku wasn't sure what he had done.
It must have been something bad, Kacchan never went this far before. He keeps replaying the memories in his head from just a few hours ago. He remembers Kacchan gripping his hair and forcing him to his knees, his other hand was crackling with tiny fireworks that always made Izuku feel nauseous. He thought his friend was just going to slap him again, but a whole different level of pain shot through him as Kacchan pressed his hand against the side of his head and held it there.
Izuku tried desperately with his eight-year-old strength to get the burning hand off of him, but it didn't work. Kacchan's hand was only there for five seconds but Izuku had the smell of his own cooking flesh burned into his memory. Even hours later, the side of Izuku's neck hurt, the doctors said that it would leave a scar. After that, his mom told him that he was changing schools, and Izuku felt bad.
Izuku felt bad because it had taken him so long to realise that Kacchan didn't want to be his friend, no one did. He was quirkless, useless, a nobody, a burden, he blamed himself.
He spent the last month of school at home, being homeschooled by his mother. Now, the burn had turned into an ugly red scar that covered the side of his jaw and neck, one that was unmistakably hand-shaped. He spent the whole time researching heroes, writing everything he could find into neatly detailed profiles.
He also wrote about Katsuki, about how to neutralize his nitroglycerin sweat, about how he favors his right arm, and about how easy it is to agitate him. Izuku wrote four pages detailing exactly how to take him down with nothing but a jump rope's worth of rope and a box of salt.
Izuku had a very educational three months at home, after figuring out Katsuki's weaknesses Izuku decided to look up old unsolved cases for fun. What confused Izuku, though, was that the first case he looked at, the stories didn't quite add up.
He printed out the files, highlighted them with different colours, and put them in his All Might backpack.
