My Hero Academia: Seek and Destroy [Reader Insert]

2. Best Friends

{The first time you met Izuku Midoriya, was also the first day you had ever gotten into a fight.}

The first day of middle-school, during the regular class introductions, the teacher went around having the students introduce themselves and state what their Quirk was and what they wanted to be when they grew up. It was all very standard. However, your interest was peaked when a freckled boy with green hair had stood and proudly announced; "My name is Izuku Midoriya, I'm Quirkless and I want to be a pro-hero!"

It had caused mutters of doubt and giggles of mockery throughout the room. But you were intrigued. He was Quirkless! Just like you!

A rarity in that day and age. You had never met another Quirkless in your life before, and you were eager to befriend this boy.

When your turn came around, you had stood and announced proudly; "My name is Y/N L/N. I'm Quirkless too!" You shot Izuku a smile and his eyes glittered.

During lunch, you had decided to seek out Izuku and befriend him. After a while of navigating the lunchroom and the classes, you finally found your future friend at the back of the school.

Bakugo Katsuki had him pinned up against the wall, his hand sparking with the power of his Quirk.

"You don't have a Quirk. You don't have any talent. Why even try to be a hero!?" He sneered.

Izuku had shrunk in on himself at that, shame on his face. "It's my dream. I'm not giving it up. Nothing has changed since we were kids, Kacchan. Nothing other than you."

"Don't call me that!" Bakugo growled. "Middle School is my fresh start and I don't need you messing it up with that stupid nickname!"

Izuku coward in fear, "I'm sorry!"

"I'll make you sorry!" Bakugo spat, raising his hand and allowing the flicker of explosions to build up.

Now, you were by all means an even tempered and reasonable person. But in this situation you decided to take notes from the more confrontational heroes that you looked up to.

Mustering up all the courage you had, you raced forward and landed a roundhouse kick to the blonde's head.

He dropped fast, clutching the back of his head and cursing.

Izuku looked on in a mix of terror and awe as he watched his childhood friend and bully writhe on the ground.

"You.....did you really just do that!?" He whispered. Green eyes met yours.

"I guess I did....." you said, finally processing that you kicking someone with a highly dangerous quirk was probably not the best idea. "I uh....take it you two have some history?"

"He was my friend...." Izuku said, looking conflicted. "And you.....kicked him....."

"Sorry, you just looked like you were in trouble," You had said apologetically though you could hardly imagine that the relationship was anything friendly based on what you had seen.

"I......." Izuku swallowed nervously. "I guess I was......."

The pained look on his face made you realize you might have hit a sensitive topic, so you quickly changed the subject. "Uh.....You are Quirkless, right? You're like me!" You said excitedly. "You want to be a hero too!"

Izuku's horror faded and was replaced with that look of wonder from when you introduced yourself. "You want to be a hero without a Quirk!?"

You nodded enthusiastically,

He smiled, "We're the same then...."

"Here, let's start over." You bowed. "My name is Y/N L/-"

You were cut off as Bakugo tackled you to the ground.
