Izumi wanted to be a hero.

All her life she’d been told it was something unattainable, something out of her reach. Her doctor that made the diagnosis that she was quirkless told her to give up. Her own mother burst into tears and apologized over and over. Her entire class laughed at the notion. Even her best and only friend whom had promised they would become heroes together put her down over and over.

When he found out she put in an application to take the exam at UA high school, a prominent school for heroes, he and the entire class laughed at her. How could a meek quirkless girl like her hope of entering a school for heroes? Was she stupid? Did she have a death wish?

Why are you applying to U.A? You’re lower than the rest of these class losers, you’re quirkless. What makes you think you can get into a school like that?

Stupid Bakugo

All this time and he still didn’t know what he meant to her. As children her and her childhood friend had promised they’d become heroes together. After they found out she was quirkless, however, he’d flat out told her that the promise no longer applied. His opinion of her changed from someone who could walk beside him, to someone he was forced to shelter.

Baka Usagi!

Usagi… the Japanese word for rabbit. It was his personification of her, someone who came off as meek and timid and helpless. In his mind she was his frightened pet rabbit; someone he had to look after and protect. Now that they were growing up he was reaching for the stars and rising to the top. The promise didn’t matter to her anymore, she knew she could never be as amazing as him. All she wanted now was to be strong enough to stand on her own two feet. She didn’t want to inhibit him, but neither did she want him to leave her behind. She applied to UA for one purpose, and one purpose only. To prove herself.

She wasn’t his pet. She wasn’t a victim!

“Baka...Go…. Bakago! BAKA BAKA BAKA!!!” She shouted loving how it echoed down the done as if reaffirming them. She felt empowered and laughed. “Bakago BAKA!!”

“A cute little shield…” a dark voice spoke from the shadows silencing her laugh. She whirled around and screamed as the green ooze form surrounded her and shoved down her opened mouth and throat. She struggled against it, trying desperately to move and fight, but her hands slipped through the mucus. The scent of him gagged her senses and she felt her eyes roll up and back as she lost her breath.

“Easy now, it’ll only hurt for about 45 seconds… sorry about this cutie, but I never expected HIM to show up in this little town.”

Him? She thought absently as she started to lose consciousness and screamed mentally. She wanted so badly to believe she wasn’t a victim… and yet here she was about to die at the hands of a disgusting green glob.  Maybe Kacchan was right after all. What could a quirkless girl like her do against villains like this?

Help me…   She cried and felt the hot tears stream down her face. Someone help me!

Before darkness took her she heard a voice call out to them, and the shadowed figure of the hero she always admired since childhood.

All Might?

She wasnt sure how long she passed out, but once awake again she felt shame and confusion wash over her. Had it all been real? Had she really been attacked? Who saved her?
