Katsuki didn't realise the damage he'd done to Izuku until she's sent to her uncle in Inoba, Izuku was broken and quirkless until the stress of what Katsuki did to her triggered a whole new breed of quirk, their paths and lives changed they both meet again at yuuei high both wondering if their old friendship could be rescued (katsuki) or if it's irreparably Izuku

Prologue: Pain of difference

No one's POV:

First year middle schooler, Izuku sniffed as she stood outside of her middle school, her former friend Katsuki Bakugo had changed and not for the better, he'd become a monster in her mind, just that day he used his quirk on her, destroying the first letter her dad had sent her in months and burning her badly in the process, however it wasn't those things that had hurt the most was the things he said to her doing it.

"No one wants a quirkless hero Deku!" Katsuki's voice echoed in her memory.

"If you want a quirk so bad why don't you kill yourself and pray you get a quirk in the next life" his voice sneered again in her head, causing large pearly tears to roll down her cheeks and fall to the ground in cascades.

Shaking her head, Izuku started the walk home her head hanging low as to not let anyone see her cry, once she was at the building, she and her mother lived in she decided to take the lift rather than the stairs knowing she'd likely run into Bakugo and his mother on the way up if she didn't.

"welcome home sweetie... sweetie" called Inko from the kitchen as Izuku entered their little apartment and pulled off her shoes, however she didn't hear her mother as she walked towards her room with Katsukis voice still echoing in her mind.

Today she'd had enough, enough of the merciless bullying, enough of being different and being called out on it every time, she was sick of being stuck in the cycle of pain she was in and didn't know how to get out of it.

Once inside her room she collapsed on her bed crying from everything that had gone on during the day, after a few minutes of doing so, she turned over and stared up at the ceiling.

"So that's, that then" she murmured to herself sadly, her voice hoarse from crying, before getting up and walking to her chest of drawers and pulled out a sturdy leather belt, closing her bedroom curtains along the way. Then she opened her closed and hung one end of the belt from the clothing rail and wrapped the other end around her neck as she climbed on top of a box of old toys and tried to kick it out from under her.

However, something happened before she dropped a flash of white light and chains and thorny vines appeared and wrapped themselves around her, almost as if they were trying to stop her from ending her life, however the belt around her neck was tightening and she was blacking out because of it, the last thing she saw was her bedroom door opening and her mother's panicked voice as she ran into the room.

Izuku's POV:

I woke up feeling stiff and sore, my neck hurt and I couldn't move. My eye's flickered open only to be met with a bright white room, the soft beeping of a heart monitor reached my ears.

"Oh Izuku! Why would you do such a thing?! You scared the life out of me!" came my mother's voice from the left of me, I tried to turn to see her but something was stopping me from doing so.

"Mom! Is that you, why can't I move?" I nearly wailed as I struggled to try and see her.

"oh, sweetie the staff needed to strap you down while your neck and back where healing" Mom explained to me, however before she could continue explaining to me the doctor came in.

"Ah, Miss Midoryia , that was quite the accident you had, it's seems that you where misdiagnosed as being quirkless, it seems that you went through a very rare phenomena of belated quirk activation, your accident was the result of the powerful backlash you went through, you'll need to wear a power stabilizer until you get control over your new abilities, but other than that you'll make a full recovery" The doctor explained kindly to me. Once the explanation was over, he and a nurse undid the straps on by bed and mom helped me sit up.

"Now tell me what possessed you to do such a thing!" Mom demanded, it was then I finally broke down and told her everything.

"I COULDN'T TAKE ANYMORE! I'VE BEEN BULLIED SINCE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL KAACHAN IS THE WORST ONE! I HATE HIM! I HATE IT HERE!" I all but scream at my mother, tears flowing down my cheeks in rivers, as she hugged me and rocked me, stroking my hair whispering to me that "It'll be alright" however I knew it wouldn't.

No One's POV:

Inko Midoryia was at a loss, seeing her daughter so broken in the hospital was just too painful to bear, so she decided to do something about it, as soon as Izuku was released from the hospital, Inko pulled her daughter from her old middle school, siting that it was partly their fault for her mental state, then came the hard part, talking to her friend Mitsuki about her sons treatment of Izuku.

"Hey Inko, it great to see you!" Said Mitsuki sadly.

"I wish it was under better circumstances" Inko replied with an equal amount of melancholy.

"So, what was it you wanted to ask me anyway?" asked Mistuki politely as she made a pot of tea or coffee for her green haired friend.

"You're not going to like this, but it has to do with why I pulled Izuku from that school" Explained Inko wringing her hands with worry.

"Go on" encouraged Mitsuki.

"Your son, Katsuki, I'm sad to say has been bullying my daughter and the teacher had done nothing but encourage it" Inko finally said, nearly sobbing as she finished the sentence. Inko's statement shocked Mitsuki, but the woman knew that her friend wouldn't lie to her about such a serious matter.

"Katsuki! Get your ass out here!" the blond bellowed throughout the apartment until the boy appeared in the kitchen.

"What you bog hag! I was studying!" yelled the preteen, causing Inko to narrow her eyes at the boy who once called her auntie.

"I've just heard something concerning about you and little Izuku!" began Mitsuki before Katsuki cut across her.

"That Deku what has she been saying now!" he yelled in anger forgetting Inko's presence completely.

"MY DAUGHTER HAS BEEN TORTURED BY YOU! AND THE SCHOOL! AND NOW HAS TRIED TO KILL HERSELF!" screamed Inko in her rage.

"Wh-what, but they said it was an accident!" exclaimed Katsuki in shock of this revelation.

"Well, that doesn't matter any way, my Izuku now has a quirk and she won't suffer any more" said Inko her voice now as cold as a winter blizard.

"What do you mean, she's alive..." Katsuki began to ask before Inko cut across him.

"I've pulled my daughter from that school and I'm sending her to live with my brother in Inaba, it'll do her some good to be away from this toxic city" explained Inko with satisfaction ringing out in her voice as she watched the wheels in Katsuki's head turning.

Meanwhile Katsuki's face had begun to turn ghost-white at the realisation at the fact that he'd practically driven the only true friend he'd ever had, he'd been so wrapped up in his quirk and the power he had that he'd lost track of himself, leading him to become "friends" with bad kids and push Izuku to the breaking point, it hit him like a kick to the gut, he had to fix this somehow, he needed to apologize not only as himself but as her lost friend.

"You can't..." he muttered in shock.

"Can't what?" asked Mitsuki tapping her foot impatiently.

"you can't take her away... not before I can apologize" exclaimed Katsuki in a pained voice.

"Well, it's a bit too late for that now isn't it" snapped Mitsuki as she watched her son wither in front of them, she wanted to comfort him, but she reminded herself that he needed to learn the consequences of his actions.

"Why so you can accept her now that she has a quirk! Life isn't like that what you did has lasting damage" yelled Inko.

"But...But..." was all Katsuki could say before he finally broke down in tears as he realised how big the situation was.

Five minutes later Inko left the Bakugo apartment and went back to her own home and checked in on Izuku, who was tired after boxing up her room ready for moving to her new life with her uncle Dojima, her neck still in a brace after her accident/suicide attempt, but she was happy to be free of her problems. Inko smiled sweetly at her daughter as she explained what was going to happen the next day, this made Izuku smile at the thought of living in the boonies, where nobody knows her name, a new start for her, however it also made her worry about her mother and how she'd come on her own, but was reassured when she was told by Inko that she'd cope.

"Oh, before I forget I got these the other day" said Inko picking up a bag and handing it to Izuku who opened it smiling when she saw the new school uniform, it was a black sailor fuku top with a gold scarf, a grey skirt, white socks and black shoes, under the uniform was the summer uniform, and beneath that, there was a beautiful outfit it was a gothic outfit with a calf length skirt with a stained glass design and a black and white horizontal striped top, there was a dainty pair of silver heels and a matching bag to go with it and in the bag was a card.

Sweetie

A new look for a new start

I hope you like the outfit

Love

Mom

Tears formed in Izuku's eyes as she stared at her mother, before getting up and hugging her, truly grinning for the first time in years.

"I love it, thank you mom" she whispered as she hugged Inko.

The next morning was a quiet affair, breakfast was quiet with Inko making all of Izuku's favourite breakfast treats and helping her with her suit cases on their way to the train station, Izuku quietly got on the train with her bags and found a seat that Inko could see her from. Just as the train began to roll out of the station, Inko heard a rush of footsteps from behind her.

"WAIT!" came the frantic voice of Katsuki Bakugo from behind her, Inko turned around to see Katsuki's grief striken face as he stood at the platform, watching as the train disappeared down the tracks, the blond boy looked heartbroken as he hung his head in shame and turned around to leave the station putting something in the trash can on the way out.

Inko walked over to the trash can and pulled the item out of the trash and unwrapped it, it was a box containing a bracelet and a card apologizing for his actions, saying that he understands if she hated him, Inko put the item in her bag to take home later.

Inko sighed, she couldn't be mad at the boy any more, but she was so sad at the way things turned for both of the children, she could only hope that they could heal from their experiences.

Meanwhile Katsuki was in the park sitting on a bench alone, he knew he'd gone too far this time, and this was the result, losing Izuku, his friend, it made Katsuki really think about what he had done and what he had to do to fix it, first he had to change his attitude and stop hanging around with the kids that called themselves his "friends", he hoped to see Izuku in the summer if only to make up for what he did to her, he traumatised her, he called her Deku, useless, he hurt her using his quirk and by beating her, he didn't blame her if she'd never wanted to see him again.

Back on the train, Izuku leaned against the window and watched the scenery as it passed by, trying to take her mind off of how itchy her neck brace was, she was relieved that she only had to wear it for a week or until her uncle could arrange physiotherapy at the hospital.

"So, this is the beginning then, the start of my new life" she said to herself, as the train clattered down the rails towards Inaba, not knowing of what lay ahead of her.
