Once Left, Forever Found

After school erasure hears someone being beaten up he goes to investigate and sees Izuku getting beat and his groceries? (Food that came from a dumpster) getting smashed

Before he can intervene the kids spit on him one kicks him and runoff

Izuku stands up, bloodied and bruised to all hell, and takes a few deep breaths (Izuku hasn't allowed himself to cry since he was abandoned - He feels as if he isn't allowed to show weakness

Izuku starts picking up the frankly disgusting food - He doesn't have any other choice - He spent all his savings on getting into UA

Erasure walks over and crouches next to Izuku

"Kid, are you homeless?" Aizawa asks, voice gentle and full of concern. It's not often he shows emotion, but when it comes to kids in situations like this he knows he needs to make them feel safe enough to talk.

Izuku doesn't look at his teacher, afraid of seeing the disgust and disappointment on his face. And the fear that his Sensei will expel him on the spot if he sees the glassiness of Izuku's eyes. He simply nods and continues scraping what little food he can save from the ground.

Aizawa gently puts a hand on Izuku's shoulder causing Izuku to flinch, violently. It was as if he was expecting to be hit. Shota grit his teeth. Who hurt this- No. Who the fuck hurt and abandoned his kid.

He gently turned Izuku and pulled him into a hug. Izuku was shocked and confused. This was the most positive physical contact he's had in years. Izuku clutched onto Aizawa, similar to how a scared child would, and then the tears he's held back for so long started falling.

Aizawa hugs Izuku tight and lets him cry. He runs his fingers through his hair to soothe him, "It's ok kid. Everything is going to be ok." He mutters reassuringly, "I'm not going to let you end up on the streets again. You're going to be safe and put into a loving home where people will take care of you and love you, like you should have had from the beginning." He said.

Izuku sobs harder and clutches onto Aizawa tighter as if to make sure he doesn't fade away and leave him behind. His tears soaking through Aizawa's hero suit.

Izuku cried for a good fifteen minutes, after that he passed out from the whirlwind of emotions. Aizawa gathers Izuku into his arms and walks back to UA. The entire time his thoughts are a gigantic mix of murder plots for the people who hurt and abandoned Izuku like he was an object that could be thrown away, and plans on how to make him happy. Plans on how to give Izuku the best rest of his childhood he can.

When Shota arrives back to UA he makes his way to the staff room. When he enters the sound of cheering and greetings cut off when they see the bloodied and bruised kid in his arms.

Hizashi is the first to speak, "Shota? Isn't that the student you didn't expel?" He questioned worriedly.

Aizawa simply nods and sets Izuku down on the couch, covering him with his sleeping bag. He turns around and is greeted by the worried faces of his coworkers and former students alike.

Shota takes a deep breath before he begins to speak, "I found him being beaten up by a group of kids. He had just dug around in a dumpster for food. Those kids beat him and destroyed what little food he salvaged from the dumpster." He said, already he could see a mix of emotions on everyone's face ranging from pure, unadulterated rage on Bakugou and Todoroki, to a motherly instinct to comfort and protect on Aoyama and Uraraka, and so many others.

Shota sighed before continuing, "I don't know the full story, not yet anyway, but what I do know is that Izuku is quirkless and that he's also homeless." He said, he saw eyes widening and more anger overtaking people's features at the mention of this child being quirkless and treated the way that he was, "And from his reaction to me giving him a hug I can guarantee that he's been alone for at least a few years."

"I fucking refuse to let this kid suffer any more than he already has." He declared, "He's the only one in my class that had any potential and he has a ton of it. This kid has had to fight tooth and nail just to survive." He said, "He could've taken the easy way and turned to a life of villainy, but he didn't, he fucking fought and struggled just to survive to make it to this point."

"I'm going to make sure that this kid becomes one of the greatest heroes of his generation." He said, complete determination overtaking his voice, "And if anyone tries to stop me or tells me he shouldn't be a hero because he's quirkless. Heads. Will. Fucking. Roll."
