Izuku didnt expect his day to go to hell in a handbasket at 4 in the  afternoon. Not-quite-a-vigilante that he was, he had learned to expect  that some level of hell-in-a-handbasket could happen at any moment, but  he still hadn't expected it to that degree while he was just out running  errands.

As it was, his arms were too full of groceries to be  able to fight back agaisnt the sludge villain, and by the time he'd  dropped them the guy was already forcing his rancid slime down Izuku's  nose and throat. He'd always thought if a villain was going to take him  out, it'd either be at an ungodly hour of the morning on one of his  patrols, not the middle of the day in broad daylight.  His last thoughts  before blacking out were of Eraserhead, the hero and would-be psuedo  father figure he sometimes spent those patrols with and just how worried  the man was going to be when Izuku just suddenly stopped showing up.

Then he woke up to All Might himself slapping him awake.

Izuku  might've had plenty of experience interacting with heroes between  spending most nights needling Eraserhead (bonding with, as the hero  would have described it- the man had been trying to adopt him for over a  year after all) and running circles around any other hero that had  tried to take him in as a vigilante, but this was All Might. Izuku could  be excused a few moments of fanboying over the man who'd been an  inspiration to him since he was four.

Ignoring the niggling  thought in the back of his head about how All Might had signed his  autograph before checking on the unconcious victim, Izuku let himself  get swept up in the excitement of the moment- this was his chance to  finally ask the one question he'd always wanted to, needed to ask. He'd  probably never get the chance to again.

He wasn't expecting to  find himself alone on the roof of some random office building, reeling  from the twin shocks of suddenly learning government secrets and hearing  All Might crush his dreams with a single 'no'. Izuku stared at the  point All Might had disappeared from with his soda bottle bound villain  before collapsing down onto the sun warmed cement with a single  humorless huff of a laugh.

"Be realistic," All Might had said.  Izuku wondered if the man knew what that meant for the quirkless in this  day and age. 'Realistic' would probably have him taking the fast route  off this roof- honestly at this point it was barely realistic that Izuku  was even still alive.

Long story short: His sperm donor had left  for America when was diagnosed (and wasnt that a crock of bullshit, that  he was diagnosed) quirkless at four and Inko had joined him six years  later, leaving Izuku to fend for himself at the ripe old age of ten. It  had been difficult, and terrifying, but he'd made it work using his  wits, analytical skills, and a strong (if hidden) quirkless community to  support himself.
