Whether a person is a hero, civilian, villain, or antihero, one thing is true for each and every one of them….each and every one them have an origin. A story, one that can be made into a film or written in a single sentence. One that can be retold time after time for people to hear about.

Every person has a starting point, one where they can grow, expand,or simply to fade into irrelevance...a point that other people can see. In a story, there is a beginning, there is a middle, and there most certainly is an end...this is true for most things, yet there are also exceptions to this.

Ever so often, there will be an individual who falls outside the pre-determined border of acceptability. One who changes the way people see each other and the world around them. A person that arises to challenge the very idea of the things that people hold so dear….Maybe they are nothing more than a kid who wanted to change the world things were and did things in order so others wouldn't have to suffer the same injustice that they did…Perhaps the being in question would be better understood after a bit of an explanation….

This being was born with the name of Izuku Midoriya and would be classified as quirkless from the young tender age of four. He would be treated terribly like more people of quirkless nature were often treated and would go on to suffer terrible abuse from his classmates. Everyday would only serve as a reminder of what terrible he was being treated in school and how his mother at home couldn't do anything to change this no matter how hard she tried, hugs and love had a limit too...then one day something happened to his home…

One faithful day a villain attack would occur...a hero would attempt to stop the villain for the money that it brought him as well as the fame….but the villain knew better than to fight the hero in an environment where he could lose….so he fought him on top of the apartment building where hundreds of people resided and where Izuku Midoriya lived with his mother…

The fight was long and overdrawn...the villain knew that he couldn't win nor get away...so he began to do the only thing that he could do….he began destroying the building under him in order to attempt to get the hero to try to save the civilians instead of fighting him….but the hero wanted the glory of winning far more….so people died...mothers died….mothers to little boys who had been previously declared as quirkless by doctors who cared very little for the matter…and that was the final straw for the little boy….

He had seen a hero who he admired fight in order to get fame instead of save innocents….he saw that this society of heroes wasn't what it should be...it was unfair, it reeked of injustice all the way to its roots….it needed to be changed, needed to be made anew by someone who wouldn't allow this to continue…but he was much too weak to do it himself at that moment...he would have to train, get stronger and learn more if he wanted a chance at fixing the problem presented here...and obviously he wouldn't be able to get the help that he wanted while remaining in Japan...he needed to find his help elsewhere...

Some Years Later:

Izuku Midoriya drew very little attention as he came off the fishing boat that he had hitched a ride from back in the middle of the ocean. It had been several long hard days at sea and now he was grateful to have his feet on land where he could stand without being tipped to one side or the other. The noise that his shoes made against the dock was a sound that he hadn't heard in quite a while so it was interesting having it enter his ears once more.

He'd been found almost a week ago on a small rowing boat slowly making his way back in the direction of Japan. He was simply rowing calmly when he was spotted, calmly making his way across the ocean on nothing but a row boat. His rescuers had found it extremely odd how he had made it so far from the coast just by rowing, going sow many hundreds miles from any land….but they'd seen stranger things in their time at sea so they chose not to question it too much...

The boy paid them no mind however and continued rowing until they came after him with their motorized boat and brought him aboard to where the sailors told him several times that he was crazy. Besides this they gave him a set of fresh clothes and a warm meal, along with a bed that would be his until they reached land.

"Yes...I suppose that rowing back home would seem quite silly…." The boy said this in an empty tone as he stared at nothing in particular….it was a bit unsettling for the crew but they only had to be around him for those few moments of introduction and then it was all back to business.

As soon as they reached a port he got off, taking all his belongings with him which he had stored safely in a simple, green, wooden case with a handle for him to carry around like a suitcase. He didn't want to bother them anymore than he already had, believing that taking him this far was good enough. Besides, he'd planned on making the journey by himself so this was a speeding up of his plans…

The young Midoriya walked along the empty streets in his tattered green hoodie which one of the crew member's had gifted to him after seeing the lack of warmth clothing that he was wearing. It was a warm and the color brought him comfort so he couldn't help but accept it, but he made sure to compensate the member for his troubles with some money that he'd had off hand.

At this particular moment he was searching for a place that he would be able to call his own. There had to be a place in which he could remain and sleep for the night, if only just for a few minutes of sleep so that he could regain some of his energy. He'd have to look for more permanent housing tomorrow when things would undoubtedly be open and available for him to use to their best capabilities.

The streets are so filthy….were they always this way….I don't recall some of this destruction...maybe the hero activity has been on the rise and with how heroes are treated in this society it's no wonder there's so much damage here….things here look interesting….

The young boy looked around at the downtown buildings that he could possibly reside in…making a list of pros and cons for every building that looked to be somewhat livable...that's when he saw the empty beer factory to his right...a gate was placed around the building and it seemed to have been abandoned for some time…parts of the building seemed to have been blasted off while a few of the windows seemed to have had rocks thrown through them…

Izuku stared at the building for a second before he jumped cleanly over the fence and landed quietly over the side. He smiled to himself as he came to one of the doors and picked its lock open with ease, allowing himself access to the inside of the building.

It had been awhile since he had a place to call home but this place would do just fine…. for all intents and purposes once he placed it under his name it would be a perfect place to call home….or perhaps he would have to use a false name since he wasn't sure that he could legally acquire this place. Either way, by tomorrow this building would be under his control and he would be able to put some of his funds into use in order to probably make use of it in order for further profits. After all, who didn't want to own their own beer factory….

Izuku went into the office of the building and set down his things on the dusty desk. He opened the green case and pulled out a candle which he carried with him wherever he went in order to soothe nerves. Lighting it, he sat down and closed his eyes trying to plan out what he was going to do in the next few days no that he was in his country of origin. It had been quite a while since he'd last left….he needed to do some research to figure out what he'd missed and how he could begin working on his plan to rework society….everything was going to begin soon enough…

Don't worry mom….I won't forget about you….not now, not ever...

AN: Hello reader! I was very interested in writing something that had Izuku not being a powerhouse and have him be more of a quirkless hero who uses his more trained skills to get things done. It's not so much hero Deku as much as it is anti-hero Deku since I think those are quite rare on the site. Anyway, this will be updated again later when I get an idea of what I want to do with it and how much people want to read about this...so until next time...Toodles!
