Izuku Midoriya, UA's finest first-year student. Everyone knew what a great hero he'd make, everyone loved and cared for the little ball of sunshine. The only thing that ever went wrong in his life, was his parents' death. Supposedly so, they died in a car crash, which led to Izuku being left alone as an orphan. He was 10 at the time and was adopted by a loving "couple" just a few weeks after his parents' demise. He was happy, or at least looked happy. But, what really goes on inside of Izuku's head is something UA should wish they never found out. They were looking at the leader of the LOV after all. Also, Izuku knows about One for All but doesn't have it.
What if when Izuku was a kid something huge happened. Something that seemed to pass by quickly to others but to him it stretched out for years and years?
What if Izuku had a chance, one chance to be free? What if he wanted to be a hero? And he became a vigilante? What if he's able to trick Aizawa and Nezu (and the rest of the heroes?) What if he hid everything he knew and who he was?
The LOV, AFO, UA, All Might, everyone is looking over one of his shoulders.
How long can he shake them off for?
What was he doing these days just for fun?
There are no ships in this story. Updates may be scattered and I'll try to update as often as I can.
I'll write everything and then come back and edit (maybe.)
NONE OF THESE CHARACATERS BELONG TO ME.
I own the plot for this plot specifically. This is my first fanfic that I've written.
THE ART DOESN'T BELONG TO ME EITHER.
Used to be called "WHAT YOU SEE... IT ISN'T ME"
