Little Midoriya always wanted to be a hero. His mom, especially, knew that more than anyone. Everyday, Izuku would come running to her after dinner, asking her to play the same video of All Might, his most loved hero, rescuing 100 people from a burning ruins, and with time he did, she can't help but smile every time she saw the look of pure admiration shine through her son's eyes as he watched his hero say his lines.

All Might was Izuku's greatest idol, letting him know that the moment a hero arrives, there will always be hope, heck All Might himself was the very symbol of peace and hope for young Midoriya, that's why he wants to have his own quirk, once he finally has his own Quirk then that will be one step closer to becoming a hero. Will he be breathing fire like his dad? Or maybe he'll be like his mom, a Quirk that can pull anything towards his direction. The young child can't help but grin in excitement just thinking about having his very own Quirk soon.

Sadly, that day never came. Not long after his birthday, his mom took him to the hospital where  the doctor told him he is unable to have a Quirk due to an extra bone in toe. Izuku was devastated about the news, how was he suppose to become a hero without a Quirk?

After the check up, Izuku stayed in his room, doing nothing more than watching the same video of All Might over and over again. His mom tried her best to cheer him up the moment she saw him turn to her, eyes filled with tears and a forced smile on his face, she knew how devastated he was about his Quirk. She cried and hugged him, repeatedly apologizing, even thought she hasn't done anything wrong.

Izuku said nothing as his mother cried, one thing only ran to his mind as he silently cried along with her 'Why did this happen?'

If only he knew the events that were to come

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

News about him being quirkless spread like wildfire across his school. For days he was constantly teased and bullied by the other kids who were able to attain their own quirk. But no one enjoyed teasing him more than Bakugou Katsuki, Izuku's long time friend and neighbor. Bakugou took delight in the thought of being better than the useless quirkless boy. He teased, insulted, and even tried to burn Izuku several times. For weeks the bullying continued, Izuku would come home covered in dirt and scratches, at first he would just shrug it off figuring they'd stop after a few more days, but they didn't. Things got worse when Bakugou thought it would be funny to throw Izuku's All Might action figure into the river.

"What can someone like you who is quirkless do?"Bakugou mocked as he snatched the toy away from the small child.

"Kacchan, give it back!" Izuku reached for the toy but stopped when the hot head brought his other hand near the toy, smoke rising from the tiny hand.

"Huh?! You defying me deku?!" Bakugou scowled "If you want this back then go get it!" He threw the toy over Izuku, who watched in fear as the toy flew into the river.

"Kacchan why would you?" he said as he ran into the river and began to look for the toy.

"look at him go!" He heard one Katsuki's friends laugh. After a few minutes, Izuku pulled out his toy from underwater, he turned and started walking towards the playground. As he stepped on dry land, Katsuki quickly snatched the toy away from him while his other two friends held back the smaller child, who watched in horror as the hot head used his quirk to burn the surface of the toy

"Kacchan! Stop! Please!" Izuku begged as tears began to form on the corner of his eyes.

Katsuki sneered "Oh yeah? What can a useless deku like you can do against me? HUH?!" he walked forward and shoved the smaller child with his other hand. Izuku held back a whimper as the blonde kept shoving him until he lost his balance and landed on his rear. Before he could get up, he felt Katsuki pull him down by his cheek before he felt his hands getting warmer and warmer "I want you to remember this moment the next time you would even think that you are even more than just a useless, quirkless deku!" with that he let go of his face with a sharp shove and threw the ruined toy right next to the  green-head.

Izuku slowly sat up as he listened to the bullies laugh and walk away. He turned to his All Might before picking it up. Silently, he tried to wipe the burned marks away but as he tried more tears began to fall from his eyes. He tried to wipe them away but more and more began to fall. He didn't really know why Kacchan was so angry at him, or what exactly he did to enrage the blonde but deep in his minds, he knew that Kacchan was only trying to protect him from the cruel reality of his dreams but one thing was fore certain, Kacchan was right what can he do without a quirk? He couldn't even defend himself from Kacchan and his friends. Izuku could not hold back his tears anymore and began to sob.

'Why was this happening to him?'

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By the time Izuku turned 8 tragedy after tragedy seems to follow him where ever he goes, the next tragedy happened when he just got home from school, he was just a corner away from his home when he heard sirens. Sirens from an ambulance. He felt a lump in his throat as he got nearer and nearer his house. He turned the corner and his eyes widened in fear as he saw a police car, and a ambulance parked right in front of his house, his mom was standing outside, sobbing into her handkerchief while a police woman was trying to comfort her.

His feet felt like lead with every step he took near his house "Mom? What going on?"

Inko looked up, eyes swollen in tears "Izuku!" she cried before him and knelt down and hugged him as she sobbed "Mommy is sorry, she is so sorry!"

Izuku was confused, why was his mom crying? Was there a break in? The house didn't seem destroyed, so why was she crying

Then it hit him, he looked around for his Dad. The lump in his throat came back he swallowed before he asked in fear "Mom, where's dad?"

Inko flinched not expecting him to catch up so quickly, she opened her mouth to say something but uncontrollable sobs only came out, her hug around him tightened as she tried her best to tell her son about his father.

"I'm sorry Izuku, I'm so sorry..." she sobbed. Izuku hugged her back wanting to comfort his sobbing mother before he noticed two paramedics reeling out a hearse with a body covered in a blanket through their front door.

To make matters worse, a sudden wind blew off the blanket that covered the body and Izuku saw something that made his blood ran cold. There was his father's body, pale as snow, his face was covered in burned mark and a rope like mark around his neck. Paramedics quickly covered the body as fast as they could before taking the hearse into the ambulance. Izuku as well as his mom watched in devastation as the ambulance drove away, it's siren turned off, which only meant one thing.

His father was dead.
