To Be Vigilant(e)

This is My Origin Story

Hi. This is the author! You can call me God, K, or Kelly. I am going to be using some of the suggestions that you guys left. I'll be sure to credit them for their ideas. Thank you! Enjoy the story! Also, this is the first time I've tried this writing style. If you cant figure it, it will come in in the next chapter.

Several voices could be heard from behind closed doors. The overall mood was somber.

"Looking back on it, that day seem perfectly normal. It was two days before winter break.q The sun was out, some clouds floated(flewt) across the sky. There was a cold breeze flew in with coming winter, leaves already changing. Nothing about that day pointed toward..." an unidentified voice started. Only, they hesitated, their eyes were wet with tears, yet refusing to let them spill over.

"Breathe. Dont think about her. Dont do that to yourself." A second voice spoke, rough but somehow comforting.

The reassurance seemed to have helped, as the first voice started up again."I-I was on my way t-to school, rushing as usual," A nostalgic smile crept it's way onto their face."it happened alot. My moth-mother would fuss over me until I Had to go or I'd be late. She always packed my lunch for me with a different little note inside. They would say things like 'I l-love you my little Rabbit' or 'your my h-hero' with a terrible drawing of a rabbit in the corner. She always called me that- her hero, her lucky rabbit. Now that I think about it, I'm not very lucky am I?" Their voice was soft and quiet. Anyone in the room could hear the sadness in their voice.

"Mi-" a third voice spoke gently, as if from one wrong move, something would shatter into millions of pieces.

"Oh sor-sorry... I went on a tangent, didnt I? Where was I? Oh. I got to school. I remember being happy until I walked into the room. People threw things at me, teased me, threatened me,  stole my lunchbox. They never stole anything- guess they wouldn't go so low as to eat food made for my 'kind'. But it was fine, the teachers never did anything to stop it and there were no cameras or anything like that so there would be now proof. I made my way over to my desk, black and brown scars pressed into it. There was some new graffiti. I remember that. I dont remember what it said though...," A pause the speaker turned their eyes up to the ceiling, as if asking it something,"probably 'Deku'" they said finally.

"Deku? Useless?" The third voice, appearing to be an officer of some kind, looked up from his notebook with a puzzled look. "Why would they call you of all people useless?"

"Well, m-m-multiple reasons, s-someone who I thought was a friend started calling me that 'cus he found out he could read my name as 'Deku'. Seing as I was a pretty scrawny and clumsy boy, the name stuck. It only fit more after he got a quirk and I d-didnt."

His body was tense, ready to bolt, or dodge. It was like he was expecting some type of negative reaction.

He, now being referred to as Deku, looked up, for the first time. He glanced between the two adult with him. He saw the aforementioned cop wearing a beige fedora and matching trenchcoat. The man sitting next to him looks beyond tired- probably his doing. He looks homeless to be honest. They were Detective Tsukauchi and Eraserhead.

He knows both of these men, maybe go as far as saying they were friends. Though he knows it's not mutual. Hes just an annoyance to them.

But that's beside the point. Neither of them were going to strike him. At least right now. Even more, they seem upset- but not at him.

"But you have a Quirk. I've seen it. Hell, I've erased it." Eraserhead was the first to speak. Though his face remained stoic, confusion could be heard in his intonation if you really listened.

This caused the boy to shrink down lower- head back down. "M' a late-bloomer." His voice was barely above a whisper.

All of a sudden, he switched characters. This had been known about him for a while, comedic coping, as he calls it."So, back to my Origin Story™! So I was, y'know, relaxing, or as much as I could with my tormentors trying to beat me. A few minutes go by and the teacher comes in. Today was a half day, being the last week of school before break, so the teacher handed out some highschool applications. Bully friend said he wants to go to UA. I wanted to too. The teacher called me out on it. Long story short, bully friend didnt like that at all so he took my notebook, used his quirk on it, and threw it out the two story window and into a koi pond. He also told be to swan dive of the room of the building. A-"

"Wait.. what?" Looking up, Deku could now see just how pissed Eraserhead was. Eraserhead looks toward the Detective."Is he being serious?!"

"Unfortunately"

"I'm not done."

Eraserhead sighs, mumbling about problems and a child, but waves him to continue, nonetheless.

"Ok, so on my way home, I decided to take the long way to avoid Ka- bully friend since we have the same route. On that route, I went into an underpass. Ive done it before so I wasnt paying close attention per say.. so a villain, a slime villain to be exact, caught me, and tried to mouth-fuck-tenticle-porn-rape me. It wasnt fun. Hmm... oh All Might showed up. I got his autograph.  That was fun. I asked him if a quirkless child could still be a hero- said no. I was left on the roof of a very tall building." Eraserhead and Tsukauchi could see his mask breaking again. It was worrying to see such a bright, albeit somewhat annoying kid lose his smile all over again.

"So I started my climb down the thirty or so flights of stairs after getting scolded by a worker there for 'trying to kill myself on their building', and headed home. In the distance, I could h-hear explosions but I thought nothing of it.

On my way home, I got distracted by a villain fight. Endeavor vs some unfortunate th-hug. That thug died. Endeavor k-killed him- burned him alive. I left. Ran. The smell of smoke hit me. I was too late. During that fight, Endeavor caused over 10754100¥($100,000) in c-collateral damage. The collateral damage included an empty school, part of a park, and an apartment building. 14 people were injured and 1 died and 1 is presumed dead. My mother was one of them."

A dangerous mixture of rage and sadness started to fester inside of deku.

"After that day, I noticed the flaw in the hero system. I'm going to fix it if it's the last thing I do. Dont try to stop me."
