Izuku Udonta

Part 1: Capture

"Give up kid, it's not going to happen"

I drop my All Might figure in shock, everything fading into a fog as I sit there.

'Not going to happen? I'm not getting a Quirk?' I think to myself in a daze.

I hear the conversation between Mom and the Doctor.

"He has an extra joint in his pinky toe, this is a useless joint and is usually seen in those without a Quirk as a Quirked person has evolved, in evolution you lose the useless parts of yourself and adapt"

"So there's no chance?"

"None I'm afraid"

Mom takes me home and leaves me in my room while she goes and talks to Dad.

I could hear them through my vent.

"Honey, he's Quirkless" Mom says.

"WHAT!? HE CAN'T BE QUIRKLESS! THE TWO OF US YAVE QUIRKS!" Dad roars.

"I know, but the doctor said it could be a latent gene in one of ours ancestry"

"Fine..."

A few weeks pass and Dad's ignored my entire existence, prefering to fawn over my twin sister who awakened her Strength Enhancement Quirk early.

She and my old friends tease me at school, pushing and shoving me around. They even renamed me as Deku, nobody at Kindergarten calls me anything else anymore.

Mom's slowly forgotten me, I know it isn't quite her fault, Dad keeps drawing her away from me by getting her to help Izumi while he 'helps' me.

He just pretends to.

I had to learn to cook and clean for myself, take care of myself.

I read survival books and various medicine books over the next year as the shoving became punching.

Punching became Quirk Punching and Exploding.

I got hit once and flew through a window, causing scars across the right side of my face.

It's my 7th birthday today and I look through the window, seeing how happy they are. I notice at one point Mom stops and looks confused, trying to remember something before ignoring it as unimportant when Izumi calls to her.

"She is trying to remember me... But those two don't make it any easier" I mutter as I turn around and go for a walk.

I'm fairly fit, having to avoid Katsumi, Katsuki and Izumi when they try to attack me.

I'm passing an alley I know a few addicts live, I talk with them on occasion and try to help them from the withdrawl symptoms.

"Hey Z'uk! How are you kid? Happy birthday!" Matt calls, I turn in and walk down to him.

"I'm doing ok, Mom's still trying to remember, almost did today but Izumi interrupted her. And thanks, how are you feeling today?"

"Same old, same old kid, you know, most don't bother with us Druggies, it's... Refreshing for another human to care, and shocking it's a kid who does"

Matt is my favourite person, he was kicked out of the house for having a Mutation Quirk that gave him extra eyes.

He's taught me how to shoot a gun for protection and how to play catch, basically became my dad.

"You know me Matt, I'm not happy unless everyone I care about is happy" I smile. "How's the rest going?"

"Pretty good, Ronnie had a relapse, but came clean to us, you may be Quirkless kid, but hey, some Heroes don't need a Quirk to save others" He lightly punches my shoulder, a smirk on his face.

A bang sounds and Matt's head explodes...

"Matt No!" I grab the gun he always carries and turn to the entrance of the alley to fire a few rounds, I clip one guy but the recoil sends me flying.

I try to run but there are more guys the other way, beefier looking.

Both have a physical enhancement type Quirk, the left looks Rhino like so Strength and Defence, back intelligence.

The right has a more bear appearance.

Strength, claws, minor defence buff.

I shoot at them, the last two round and try to pass by as they cover their faces in protection, I almost manage it. But Rhino grabs me and swings me into the ground hard.

It goes dark.

I wake with my head pounding.

I keep quiet as my memory returns.

I've been captured, likely for ransom.

Nobody will pay though.

I strain my ears to listen.

"Hmmm... Quirkless... Yes a perfect test subject... Master All For One will be so very pleased you managed to procure us a Quirkless one. They are so very hard to come by these days"

"Glad to be of service Doc, can me and my boys be paid now? So we can get outta here and you can get do your thing" A gruff man asks.

"Of course, your cash is on the same table as always"

"A pleasure Doc"

The heavy steps of the gruff man sound as he leaves and my mind starts to race.

Test subject?

All For One?

I'm not going to be Ransomed?

"Boy I know you're awake... Just to let you know I've already put a collar on you that will blow up should you be of a... Non Compliant mentality"

I open my eyes and look, it was the Quirk doctor who diagnosed me two years ago.

"Hello again doc... You ruined my life two years ago, not that surprised that you're behind it this time" I sigh, surprisingly not too panicked.

"You don't seem scared... Interesting"

"Doc, you do realise being a Quirkless in this day and age means not having an identity right? Literally one of the first questions a person asks is what's your Quirk?"

Agony, in an instant lightning courses trough my body, the collar's electrocuting me!

"AAAGGGHHH!" I scream in pain.

"You should fear me child... Not to worry however, I'll soon reprogram your mind to obey my master"

Electricity electrocutes me again.

For weeks this continues, soon it is hard to remember my name, then my family... But two things remain in my mind.

Matt, and my desire to protect others.

"Hello Number 8362. How are you today?" The Doctor asks me, coming by my cell one morning.

"Good, how are you sir?"

"Alright, it's time for your first Quirk Experiment"

I follow him, I allow myself to be strapped to the table and he begins filling each vial with a disgusting looking liquid.

"This will hurt 8362, do your best not to move about too much" The Doctor says before pressing a button.
