Faded destiny (IzuMina)

Chapter 1 The filth of the world

Earth, home of the human race. Over thousands of years they have lived, loved, fought and died, though now is something else, fear. Fear because of change that has come about, because over the past few years some humans have begun changing. Gaining power the world has dubbed 'quirks' which began the fear, causing certain governments to take action in a off the record mission, the mission, to take those that have quirks and experiment on them, see if they can use their powers for an upper hand in war, make life easier and so and so forth. Though some of the newly built facilities began taking things a step further. As well as kidnapping those with quirks they were hunting them down, killing them in the streets without a care and some actually applauded this kind of action.

For those lucky enough not to be killed life seemed different, locked out from the outside world essentially kept in a city sized dome, housing usually a few hundred if not thousands of quirk users, the facilities were broken up into multiple different housing areas where only a few quirk users would see each other, sometimes being the only other people they would see. Though the housing areas were also a way of separating children and adults, with each individual child and adult given a number on the inside of their left forearm for their identity as well as a white shirt and pants to wear. In a play area was a group of 10 years olds, some playing games with each other while others were minding their own business with one in particular drawing and writing in a notebook. The curly green haired emerald eyed Izuku, number identity 9-26-21-11-21, though he gave himself the name Izuku upon finding a children's book which went over the letters of the alphabet with Izuku seeing the numbers in his arm spelt out a name though he didn't tell anyone, mostly because he hardly spoke to any of the other kids, though that was soon to change.

He was sitting on the ground, writing about the outside world from overhearing guards speak about it, he was reading over what he had written when a girl's voice began quietly reading along too "I hear the sky is blue and the cities are grey and the grass is green like my hair-" she stopped talking as Izuku quickly shut his book, he went bright red and slowly turned to look up at the new person. He saw she was one of the few that had an appearance change, her hair while curly like his was pink with accompanying lighter pink skin along with 2 thin yellow horns and yellow and black eyes, black sclera with yellow irises. She smiled at him "Sorry, i saw you sitting by yourself and was wondering what you were doing, I'm 13-9-14-1 by the way" the pink girl said extending her hand which Izuku slowly took allowing the girl to help him up, she stared at him and Izuku soon realised she wanted to know who he was "H-hi I'm Iz-I-I'm 9-26-21-11-21" he said, the girls face lit up "That's cool.. buuuut what is Iz?" She asked.

Izuku froze, he had no idea how to continue. The girl looked puzzled by his sudden change, she looked down at the notebook and pointed "Is the Iz thing in there?" She asked though Izuku remained frozen. He hesitated to speak, but he drew a large breathe before he spoke "It's a-a name, using the n-numbers" he said, the girl smiled and appeared amazed. Izuku bit his bottom lip "Ummm c-can you not t-tell this to a-anyone, but my name f-from the numbers is I-Izuku" he said feeling somewhat relieved. The girl looked even more amazed then outstretched her left arm "What's mine?" She asked eagerly, Izuku picked up his notebook flipping back through pages, he stopped then looked at the girls arm then back to his notebook and said "Your n-name is M-Mina" the girl smiled even more "THAT'S AWESOME! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" She yelled. Izuku nervously chuckled and nodded, she then did something that made Izuku a blushing mess, she pulled him in for a hug. He tensed up and didn't know what to do "Thank you, I mean that really.. I think I've made my first real friend in this place" the girl now known as Mina said before breaking the hug.

She giggled at him as she saw he was bright red "Do you wanna be my friend?" She asked a little nervously, Izuku nodded and smiled awkwardly not knowing what he was exactly doing. Mina jumped up and down excitement and stopped herself from hugging Izuku again, this was the first on many steps for them. In the coming days they met up and became proper friends until one day Mina was gone, causing Izuku to feel lost.
