Rise of the Phoenix

~ I N T R O D U C T I O N ~

   This is a TW for like the entire book!!!!!  This book deals with many topics including eating disorders, depression, anxiety, and self harm and suicide.

 We just want to make sure you know what is going on before you read, because the entire book has dark tones and themes! Also this is just a short intro! We will update this every Monday and we are really happy with the way it is going! We currently have five chapters done, but we decided not to post them all so we can have a schedule since we are writing another fanfiction too!

Neither of the two should effect each other with updating so don't worry about that!

That being said, we hope you enjoy as much as we are and thank you to anyone who reads this!

Izuku was a bad boy. He wasn't sure why but that was what dad said. Everything seemed to lead to punishment. If he spoke, he was punished; if he left his room, he was punished; If he ate what mom snuck him and dad found out, he was punished.

When he turned four he went to preschool, Kacchan said that preschool was for cool kids.

The teachers kept asking mom why he came to school with bruises. She said he was clumsy. They asked him too, when mom wasn't around. He said he was clumsy too.

Some of their classmates already had their quirks. Mom and Kacchan said he would get his soon.

Kacchan's quirk came in the second week of preschool. He could make explosions! Kacchan told him they would be the best hero duo when Izuku's quirk came in.

It did not.

Two weeks after Kacchan's quirk came, mom took him to a doctor for quirks! Izuku was excited.

He wondered what his quirk would be and how he could use it with Kacchan's. He made plans for elemental quirks, other emitter quirks, and many other types.

The doctor told him because he had an extra joint he wouldn't get a quirk. Izuku wasn't excited anymore.

He told Kacchan that he didn't have a quirk, but they still could be a duo.

Kacchan got angry and called him Deku, using his explosions to send him to the ground. It hurt.

The next day at school he didn't have friends anymore. They all hurt him like dad and Kacchan.

The teachers stopped asking him about his burns and bruises he came to school with because he was a Deku.

Kacchan was especially angry today, he let an explosion off too close to Izu's head. His ears bled. Mom told him she was sorry. She wouldn't take him to the hospital in fear they would see what dad had done. He always hears ringing now.

On his fifth birthday, his dad beat him up while mom cried in a corner. Dad had lost his job. He blamed it on having a quirkless son.

Dad left, slamming the door, carrying a bag with him. Izuku lay on the floor.

Izuku faintly heard the doorbell ring. Then it rang again. And again. Finally there was a shout and a loud noise.

' Auntie' Izuku thought weakly, as his world faded to black.
