A chunky, green liquid arose from the sewer, quickly forming into a creature with two large red eyes and teeth. It's eyes immediately locked with Izuku's, and it smiled at the greenette.

Izuku felt the urge to run as fast as could, run, run, but he couldn't. His feet refused to move no matter how much he tried to.

He was frozen with fear, the only noises that came from him was ragged breathing.

The creature made a somewhat gurgled laugh and lunged at the paralyzed boy, quickly suffocating him and taking control. The greenette tried so hard to grip at the sludge, but failed. The creature laughed at the child's struggle to free himself.

(FIRST PERSON POV IZUKU MIDORIYA)

I-I can't breathe!

Please someone hel-help!

I can't die yet! I- I can't die yet!

Black dots danced around my small field of vision- I'm really tired.

I'll just take a quick nap.

Mom'll wake me up later- I know she will, she always does.

I finally shut my eyes as the pain started to ebb away, I heard a blurry laugh then something clattering.

(SWITCHING BACK TO THIRD PERSON POV)

AllMight quickly started to put the sludge in the bottles, hoping it wouldn't wake before Izuku.

Once the blonde finished, he quickly hurried over to the Izuku, who was knocked out and his breathing was ragged, making AllMight more worried.

He immediately started to light slap the greenette's face to wake him up without too much commotion.

After about 2 minutes, the greenette's eyes snapped open and he started to cough up his lunch before AllMight could even say anything. Once Izuku's eyes landed on AllMight he screeched and backed up a couple of paces and quickly wiped the remains of his lunch off of his mouth and stared wide-eyed at his idol.

"O-Oh my gosh- ALLMIGHT!" The greenette said in disbelief, as he fumbled to find his notebook. "Ah, no worries my boy!, I would like to thank you for helping catching the evil-doer!"

Izuku chocked on his spit when he saw AllMight had already signed his notebook, and was getting ready to leave.

He can't leave yet!

I-I have to ask him! I have to know- I have to know!

Without thinking, the greenette grabbed onto AllMight's leg, just as the man leaped into the air.

"H-hey kid let go!" AllMight shouted while shaking his leg lightly mid-air, "if I let go now I'll diE!!!" AllMight chocked on his pit and quit shaking his leg, and mumbled "Oh, yeah, forgot about that"

AllMight quickly found a building and landed, a lightly kicked away Izuku away and prepped to leave, but Izuku asked him a question that would change his life forever.


"Can I become a hero, even if I'm Quirkless?" Izuku already knew the answer, he just wanted to hear someone- at least just one person- say he can, that a Quirkless can become a hero.



AllMight froze.

He frowned.

"No."



Izuku felt something snap.



"You simply can't become a hero if you're Quirkless. try to be a police officer or doctor, those are some honorable jobs to have."

Izuku, somehow, feeling so calm replied with a glare.

HE glared at the no. 1 hero.

"You didn't think I tried that?" He said with gritted teeth, as he forced himself to look at the ground so AllMight wouldn't see his face.

"I tried so hard to find a job that can suit my skills. I'm actually fit to become a police officer, and I even tried talking to some online on how I can apply." He clenched his fists, he heard AllMight cough awkwardly, but ignored it. "But you know what, AllMight? When they asked me about my Quirk- I told them the truth and they straight up told me no. Just because of something I can't even control!!" Izuku was yelling at the no. 1 FREAKING PRO HERO! 

To be frank, AllMight was shocked that someone was even talking to him like this. And to put five pounds of salt in the wound, he was running out of time! He needed to leave ASAP!!

But now, AllMight felt a bit guilty, but he had to leave, he couldn't let a civilian know his secret!

So before our little green bean could say anything else, AllMight just left.

Izuku stared, wide eyed that the place where the no. 1 hero stood.

He opened his mouth to scream, but nothing came out, just a choked sob as tears began to stream down his pale face.

Izuku always thought AllMight faced his problems, but no, that- that coward ran from them.

Why? It wasn't his fault he was born like this. Why-Why did no one understand that? Just why?

Why can't Izuku just be normal?

Why did he have to be the odd one out?

Why him?

Before Izuku knew it, he had somehow walked out of the building and was heading down the street, tear stains on his cheeks.

He silently walked down the street he was on, blocking out all of the noise, he just- he just couldn't believe AllMight would do that!

Izuku looked through his burnt analysis book, and flipped to the page with AllMight's signature.

He felt like he was going to cry again, so he tore out the pages and ripped them apart and threw them away in a nearby trash can.

Izuku suddenly realized he really doesn't know where the fuck he is.

He decided to walk into a local coffee shop and call his dad there.


When he walked in, he was greeted by a bubbly waitress with brown hair and eyes. She was also dressed with a wide smile as she asked for his order and where he would like to sit.

"Good afternoon, sir! My name's Uraraka and I'll be serving you today!"
