"Why don't you go take a swan dive off the roof and pray you'll get a quirk in your next life," Bakugou snatched Izuku's book out of his hand. He proceeds to slap the notebook between his hands setting off an explosion, successfully destroying the notebook. He smirked as he threw the book out the window. Bakugou then bent down, placing a hand down on Izuku's shoulder, almost in a friendly manner. He began to burn through Izuku's uniform and onto his shoulder. Izuku gave a small pained whimper, as Bakugou smirked in satisfaction. Izuku sat dumbfounded. How could Bakugou even think of something like that? Doesn't he understand how much that could damage a person! He stared up at Bakugou tears pricking the corners of his eyes. Bakugou just laughed unaware of Izuku's inner turmoil. Unaware of how close to breaking he was, how close he was to just ending it all just like Bakugou said. Bakugou left with his two lackeys following behind him laughing about how "pathetic Deku was" as they walked away. Izuku was in a state of bewilderment as he grabbed his bag and left to go find his notebook.

"Stupid fish, that's not food" Izuku huffed as he grabbed his now burned and drenched notebook out of the disgusting Koi pond. All his hard work down the drain. Maybe if he was lucky enough, he would be able to copy everything to another notebook! Yeah, right, as if he was that lucky. That's if the ink from his pen didn't bleed through the paper. As he left the school grounds he saw some of his other bullies a little ways ahead so he decided he would take another way home.

As Izuku was passing under an overpass he heard the sound of squelching liquid behind him. He was quick to turn around, only to see green foul-smelling slime ooze its way from the manhole. "Perfect! A medium-sized skin suit." The next thing he knew he was being covered in foul-smelling slime. His notebook falling to the ground somewhere close by. The slime was forcing its way down his throat suffocating him. He tried grabbing at the sludge but his fingers just slipped through. "You can't grab me. I'm sludge!" The gurgled voice laughed at his futile attempts at getting away. "Thanks for your help. You're my Hero." The sludge mocked. 'I'm dying... Am I dying?' Izuku thought. Black dots began to appear in his vision as he slowly lost consciousness. Just as everything was fading out he heard a distinctive voice yell "TEXAS SMASH!" As a huge gust of wind before everything went dark.

Izuku woke up to someone slapping his cheek saying, "Hey wake up, wake up!" Finally opening his eyes he was greeted with a hulking figure looming over him. It took his eyes a minute to adjust but when they did, he saw All Might towering over him. His eyes widened in disbelief. His idol was standing there right in front of him. He was quick to scramble away. "I'm glad you're ok! Sorry 'bout getting you caught up in my villain fighting. But you were a big help. Thanks! I captured him safely!" All Might then held out two bottles filled with green sludge. Izuku sat there in shock all he could think was 'He looks completely different in person!' "Oh, right! An autograph! Where should I-?" Izuku scrambled to find something for All Might to write in until he spotted his notebook on the ground. "In that notebook!" He quickly snatched it from off the ground and opened it but found that all might had already signed it. "Thank you! It'll be an heirloom! A family treasure!" Izuku said while bowing profusely. All Might gave him a thumbs up and "okay!" "Well, I need to take this guy to the police." All Might patted the bottles that were now nestled safely into the pockets of his pants.

'Wait... There are still... things I want to ask...' Thoughts were racing through his head as he watched All Might crouch getting ready to leap away. "I'm counting on you continuing support!" All Might said as he lept away. Before Izuku could even think about what he was doing he grabbed onto All Might as he jumped. Soaring through the sky dangling off of All Might's legs.

"Wait?" All Might looked down and saw the kid dangling off his leg. "Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!" All Might yelled. "I... have... a lot of things... I want to ask you directly!" Izuku stuttered. "Hey ok! I get it, so close your eyes and your mouth!" All Might made quick work of landing on the closest building.  

It wasn't until after he saved Kacc- Bakugou from the sludge villain did he sit and think about the day's events. Being told to die or more specifically jump off a building and pray for a quirk in his next life, then get attacked by a sludge villain, get saved by All Might they be told by a said idol that he should just give up his life's dreams and to end the day with a bang, he saved Bakugou from almost dying and got scolded for it. If only he knew his day was just about to get all that more complicated.

Izuku was so lost in thought he didn't notice that he had walked into Takoba Municipal beach park. It wasn't until he was deep in the beach did he notice how far he had walked. He was about to turn around and head home when something caught his eye. It looked to be a small thread of purple electricity that zapped in the air, it slowly became bigger, before he knew it the electrical field was bigger than him. Then everything exploded. Before he lost consciousness for the second time that day, he saw several blurred figures surrounding him.
