Chapter 1: 8 Years Ago

A young girl whimpered as a group of boys and girls surround her with sneers on their faces. She was back here again being bullied because of her quirk by the other kids again, kids she used to call her friends. 

"Aww it's poor Momo and her useless ass quirk" 

One of the girls spat at her, one of the boys grab her by the collar and roughly pulled her to her feet.

These kids had been bullying her for years, they had been jealous of Momo's family and status. Momo had always stood out as the top dog in all of her classes, the teachers dared call her a prodigy.

Today was one of those bad days, ever since her quirk developed their bullying only got worse. She was eventually dubbed the "Useless Prodigy" due to her quirk being the way it was. Momo had no clue how to use it making her weak in the eyes of her peers.

Momo tried isolating herself but, that only made matters worse. She became singled out and easier for her bullies to find and berate her. She began losing faith in people until she saw him. The symbol of peace,  All Might on T.V. one day.

Momo then aspired to become a hero and save people, to make her quirk known. Her parents blew off Momo's dreams for becoming a hero, telling her that she needed to focus on her studies. Her peers continued relentlessly harassing her, revealing her dream of becoming a hero had sparked an outrage in her fellow classmates.

That lead to this day.

Her bullies must have been really sick of her, tracking her down and harassing her in an alleyway. It was secluded. It was dark. It was perfect for them to have their way with her. A hot and partly cloudy Saturday was the day that Momo thought she was finally going to give up.

"You think you are better than all of us just because your all rich and stuff? Ha! With a quirk like yours, how can you even dream to be a hero?" 

The older boy of the group says with venom in his voice

 "I can be a hero if I try"

Momo speaks softly the boy then throws her on the ground. 

"You can't do that if you can't even fight us!" 

The boy yells before he starts kicking her, the rest of the kids join in beating Momo while she is on the ground.

"All men aren't created equal." 

Momo thinks to herself cynically as the kids kick her

 "We live in a world where you are either strong or hopelessly weak" 

Momo thinks cynically as the kids kick her

 "Maybe they're right" 

Momo begins to cry

 "...Maybe I can't be a hero after all" 

Momo shuts her eyes and waits for them to stop. 

"All I ever wanted was to be strong like my heroes..." 

Momo thinks as she begins to succumb to the kids hitting her

"Oi!"

 A voice calls out. Momo's eyes snap open as the kids stop hitting her, they all turn their attention to where the voice is coming from. It's a boy around their age with spiky blond hair and piercing red eyes with a confident smile on his face.
