It had been ten years since the Midoriya family moved to New York. Izuku was now fourteen and in middle school. Elementary was hard because of Izuku's quirklessness, and a lot of bullies and fake friends. But some really true friends.

They had stuck by his side no matter what, and had taken up for him when he was shown unfairness and quirk discrimination. But his friends Ashlyn and Xavier couldn't be there for him all the time. So without his friends he had more bullies on his back than usual.

Izuku loved USA and their schools, he could wear whatever he wanted, but his style was trash until Ashlyn had helped him. She was into makeup and singing, while Xavier was into classic cars and music. Xavier introduced Izuku to screamo music while Ashlyn and him loved fashion.

So now that he was fourteen and had his own style, and music taste. He was a total badass in words of Ashlyn. Ashlyn and Xavier total opposites, Ashlyn was an introvert while Xavier was a social butterfly. Xavier had a potty mouth and Ashlyn cursed when she got mad.

Ashlyn was very compassionate while Xavier always got mad. Izuku had developed depression due to bullying. So throughout his diagnosed depression he had also developed anger issues.

Inko put Izuku into therapy and was later diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. Now he had to take a lot of medication for his problem. But he loved his therapist, he was grateful for his mom and friends.

Izuku and Katsuki always kept in touch, but wouldn't be able to talk for months. Katsuki was always breaking his phone, he was very bad with luck on phones. Even though katsuki would never admit it, he was very clumsy. Mitsuki had always said he'd trip over nothing.

Izuku was obsessed with tattoos and piercings. So for his thirteen birthday, Inko had finally calmed down and let him get his ears pierced, his left eyebrow and got snake bites. She thought it was a bit too much but didn't say anything.

Izuku's birthday was a little over a month ago so, and had begged for a tattoo. Inko thought he'd regret it later on in life but would let him make his own mistakes. He had gotten a simple detailed skull with small white lilies on his forearm.

Now that he was in his last year of middle school, teens bullied him even more. Just to get it out of their systems before they went to high school, Izuku guessed. There was a new student who helped Izuku with bullying but one day he had told him to meet him after school. So he could tell him a way to get more protection, since he had no idea how to fight right.

Izuku knew how to throw a punch, getting into small fights in school. He'd win some fights against bullies but it wasn't enough for him. He was scared he get killed one day due to bullies or hate crimes.

When he finally learnt what the protection meant, he had learnt it was a illegal street gang. But it was already too late, when they had initiated him by beating him up. The gang was a local famous illegal street gang called The red American dragons.

Now it was two months in the gang and he had done what they asked of him and made best friends with the old leader Archer. He treated Izuku like a son and had taught him how to fight and protect other new recruits.

After months of Izuku protection missions Archer promoted him higher in the gang. Izuku has getting better at fighting and took drug deals very serious. Archer had nicknamed Izuku spitfire and everyone had caught onto the nickname.

Izuku progressed higher and higher in the gang till he was a head right hand man. He was very young but they took spitfire very serious. Izuku still had problems with his anger issues but was taught how to express his anger in a good way and control it.

While Izuku was a growing progress in the gang inko had began to worry and came in contact with Izuku's father again. They had became close again, talking about his father's marriage and their new adopted son Hitoshi Shinsou.

Inko had mentioned her worry about Izuku and how he had came home beat up over and again. And he'd made a deal that it got so bad that they would let him get away and move into his Father's house. Inko had worked two jobs but got a job as nurse, and worried she couldn't be there for her son and provide for him.

Izuku was at a huge drug deal as a bodyguard for the leader. The red American dragons were going to ship a lot of drugs to Tokyo for their sister gang.

Just when they had shipped the drugs, the cops came in with guns ready for arrests. Just before the deal Archer had told Izuku that he was going to be the new gang leader because he was retiring from the job. Everyone had taken a vote and all agreed to it, they had even told their sister gang in Tokyo.

Archer had hid Izuku behind a car holding his AK-47 against his chest.

"You don't get caught kid, I'm making you leader in Tokyo. Already talked to the other leader and has everything ready. NOW RUN!" Archer yelled holding off the cops as Izuku ran as cops chased him.

One cop had caught up to him and yelled to stop, but they had kept running until the young cop caught up to him again. The cop grabbed him by the arm and pushed Izuku to the ground. They had fought until Izuku was bleeding harshly.

With one more punch to the cops face, Izuku ran for it making his way home. His home was in the poverty side of the town, so it was a run down house. But it was his and Inko's home!

"Hopefully moms not home!" Izuku though racing inside, holding his chest trying to catch his breath.

Inko hurried to the living room and watched her son slide down the closed door. Blood was speared on the back of the door because the fighting. He had ripped his clothes from the dirty hard ground.

"Izuku!" Inko yelled running to Izuku. Inko helped Izuku with his wounds and sent him to bed to rest. Inko called Izuku's father in a rush with trembling fingers.

"Hello, Inko? Why are you calling?"

"Oh Shouta! Izuku came back home with horrible wounds and almost passed out due to blood loss!" Inko sobbed

"Is he okay?" Shouta asked very concerned.

"Yes I patched him up, thank goodness he didn't have a concussion! But I sent him to bed earlier, so he should be sleeping now." Inko explained with her hands on her head.

"That's good but did he ever explain what happened to him?" Asked Shouta with his husband in the back asking what happened.

"No he wouldn't say a word, Shouta I think it'd be a good idea to get him in a safer environment. I just can't do this anymore, and I feel like I'm abandoning him." Inko cried.

"Your not Inko, he needs to be safe. And it'd be best if he came back to Japan.." Shouta said with a pained voice.

"I've missed so much of Izuku's life, we've both messed up with this parenting thing. But we need to keep him safe." Shouta said as he got teary eyed remembering leaving his son behind because of his hero work.

"Yes I agree, I'll talk to Izuku and set everything up." Inko said then they both said bye worrying for Izuku.
