"G-give it back…"

"What?"

She is beyond confused at what happens. Izumi Midoriya was daydreaming of being a hero until she heard her best friend using his quirk on a boy with demonic horns.

The green-haired girl tried to stop him but then…

She grabbed his right hand…

"Give it back you bitch!" Katsuki screamed and much to the shock of everyone, he cried.

"I don't understand-"

"MY QUIRK! GIVE ME BACK MY QUIRK!"

Izumi shrieked at the tone of his voice.

"I-I took it!? Is that even possible-"

"SHUT UP AND GIVE ME BACK MY QUIRK!" Katsuki screamed in tears as he tried to push Izumi to the ground.

She yelps as sparks emerge from her hands.

Everyone looks at her with the horrifying realization of her newfound quirk. Even Izumi is horrified at the possibility.

"SEE?! SHE TOOK MY QUIRK! GIVE IT BACK!"

"Kacchan..! Please..! Calm down! I can try to give your quirk back!"

"TRY IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH!" Katsuki yelled at Izumi again causing her to cry.

The young girl remembers how she took his quirk and decide if she could do the opposite. Izumi grabbed his hands again and proceed to do give his quirk back.

Katsuki noticed that his hands are making a small explosion and began to shed tears of joy.

It didn't last long considering that one responsible for his situation, is standing right next to him.

"St-stay the fuck back..!" The explosive boy began to walk away in fear.

"Huh? But Kaccha-" Izumi tried to ask her best friend.

"STAY AWAY FROM ME! You are not taking my quirk again you fucking villain!" He yelled at Izumi, shocking her at his tone and how he called her villain.

"V-villain..!? But I'm no-"

"Izumi!? What happened!?"

Izumi turned around and see her mother running towards. She sees that all the students and teachers of the school are looking at her with one emotion she doesn't like.

Fear.

After dealing with the panic and confusion, the mother of the green-haired girl took her to a quirk specialist to get her quirk registered.

"What is her quirk?" Inko asks the quirk specialist.

"It's fascinating. Her Quirk allows her to steal and use quirks of any kind no matter what type it is, I'm sure that she could steal mutation quirks and be able to use them with no problems." Inko is shocked at the power her daughter holds.

"I must ask though, I know that your quirk is Pull. But about your husband's quirk?" Inko let out a sign.

"I… Don't have a husband. I never knew the father of my daughter, I know that he has a fire breath quirk but that all I know."

"...I see… That is quite a mutation, from a weak attraction quirk and a simple fire breathing to quirks stealing quirk."

"Well, that's all I can do for now. Just need a name to get your daughter's quirk registered."

"Izumi?" Inko looks at her daughter for an answer.

"...Archetype…" Izumi said in a shameful tone which made her mother concerned.

"Oh? That makes sense actually. You can leave."

After both Midoriya leaves the room, Doctor Tsubasa reaches for his phone with contempt and satisfaction.

"Sensei, you will be pleased to know that your first phase of the project is a success."

Inko is getting worried at the lack of excitement of her daughter, she hasn't talked at all for the rest of the day, now she just stares at the video of All Might's first debut.

"Izumi… You're being awfully quiet today." Inko asks her daughter who didn't say anything at all.

She should be happy, she got her quirk! It wasn't her fault that she took Katsuki's quirk by accident! Everyone makes mistakes when getting their quirks for the first time! I know I had my first share of- Inko's thoughts was cut off by a horrible question.

"Am I a villain?" Izumi's question horrified her mother.

"What!? No! Izumi! You are the nicest girl I ever know! You would never hurt someone for no reason!" Inko tried to reassure her daughter who isn't convinced.

"I steal quirks! A part of someone's else! And I stole Kacchan's quirk! You didn't see how scared he was! It- it was terrible! He was crying! I'm a horrible person-" Izumi was cut off by her mother who hugs her tightly.

"You. Are. Not. A. Horrible. Person. Izumi, this is your quirk doesn't decide who you are. You gave Katsuki his quirk back, that something a villain wouldn't do and yet you did. You are a good person for that, and you can use that quirk to help others if you want. Your quirk doesn't define you." Izumi hugged her mother back in tears.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry…"

"Don't say that… I support you no matter what. If you want to know more about your quirk then I could help then. You can take my quirk and use it."

"But mom..!"

"There is nothing to worry about! You can give it back!" Inko reassure Izumi again, making sure to hug her tightly to let her know that her mother loves her.

Izumi looks at her mother nervously, Inko took her to a place called Dagobah Municipal Beach Park to train her quirk a day after their emotional episode.

Well… it's not a beach, it's more a dump.

"Uh, why are we here?" Izumi couldn't help but ask.

"Well, I thought this place is perfect for my quirk! I can use my quirk on almost anything here. That, and we can use our quirks without anyone scolding us."

"What do you mean?"

"Even if we were caught doing this we wouldn't be punished as we are not using our quirks in public."

"Oooh."

Inko giggles at the noise her daughter is making, it's true that since they are using their quirk in a location that no one would see. they wouldn't really be punished.

"Now then, can you take my quirk?" Izumi stiffens at the words.

"Izumi… You can give it back. There's nothing to worry about."

"Y-yes, mom…" Izumi places her hands on her mother and felt the quirk within her mom.

She carefully took the quirk and place it on her body.

"It's done." Inko tried to use her quirk only to feel nothing. It felt like it was never there and that's disorienting.

"I-… I can see why Katsuki was so upset at losing his quirk. Izumi, how do you feel?" The Midoriya matriarch asks her daughter.

"My hands feel... heavy? It's pretty weird…" Izumi uses her mother's quirk to pull some junk next to her, It feels natural to her…

She notices something about her mother's quirk, it felt empty to her.
Can I do something about it? Izumi began to focus on the emptiness of the quirk and felt weak for some reason?

"Izumi!" She heard her mother scream as she looks at see what happened.

Green and black electricity emerges from her body causing her to jolt and lose focus on the quirk.

"What was that Izumi!?"

"Your quirk felt empty for some reason! I was just trying to see if I could do something about it!" Izumi quickly apologizes for the scare she causes.

"Maybe we should go back home for the day… I don't think we could do much with one quirk anyway. Can I have my quirk back?"

Izumi didn't need to be asked to give her mom's quirk back.

It was surprising how fast the day went, after having her favorite food Izumi went to bed for school tomorrow at 10:00 pm. She would have been thinking about how everybody would treat her due to her quirk but she is distracted by one thing.

How I am still hungry!? I ate my mom's biggest katsudon! There is no way I could still be hungry! Izumi thought as she clutches her stomach in pain. She closes her eyes to sleep it off.

She let a groan in pain,

Izumi stood up and go to get some snacks, she stops when she looks at the time.

10:10!? It's only been 10 minutes!? It felt like hours! Izumi nearly yelled before she covered her mouth to prevent her from waking Inko up. Only for her to clutch her stomach again in pain.

It's getting worse… I can't take it anymore! I need something to eat! She reached for the doorknob only for her to stop. What is this smell..? Izumi thought as she starts to search for the smell.

It's outside..? I shouldn't do this, but I want to know what it is! Izumi got out of her room and rush to open the front door of the apartment.

The green-haired girl shiver at the cold. So cold! Maybe I should wear one of my hoodies. Izumi went back to her room to get her favorite All Might hoodie.

As she leaves the apartment the smell is getting stronger. It smells so good..! I have to know what it is! Izumi starts to run, she must know what it is!

The four-year-old finally found the source of the smell… In the alleyway, A shady man who was looking at the apartment complex that both she and her mother lives.

"Hm? What a brat like you doing outside in this hour? You should be sleeping, little girl… Oh, you must be the one we're supposed to kidnap." The man approaches the girl while raising his hands which turns into monstrous metal claws.

Izumi should be scared, she should beg for the man to leave her alone, and yet,

Green and black electricity form around her body until it focuses on her hands, Izumi instinctively raises her hands and shot the electricity at the man. It is slow but the man was caught off guard by that action.

When it hits, he didn't have time to scream. His hands turned back to normal as the quirk was forcefully taken from him.

Izumi's thought and rationality return to her as she looks at the man who had fallen unconscious in horror.

"I took his quirk..! I took his quirk..!" Izumi put her hands on her mouth as she tried to think about what happened.

"My-My quirk..! It makes me hungry..! For quirks!?" She knows that this man was a villain if his words were enough to her child's mind of what villain should be.

But it didn't make her any less guilty for what she did…

"I'm sorry… I'm so sorry… I can give it back..!" Izumi rushes to the man and gave the quirk back to him.

The hunger came back and hit even harder than before.

Izumi feels nothing but pain as her hands start to move of their own and took back the quirk.

It came back..! The young girl thought as she clutched her stomach in pain. I took the quirk back but I'm still hungry! Izumi stops at the newfound horror.

Get hungry? She has to take quirks to satisfy her hunger.

Give any quirk away? The hunger comes back even stronger.

No! No! NO! I don't want this! Why is my quirk doing this to me!? I didn't want this! What would everyone think of me!?

Izumi began to imagine all the horrible things that could happen if everyone figures out her quirk.

Her mom getting in trouble for harboring a dangerous person.

People insulting her and calling her a villain.

Heroes watching her like a ticking time bomb.

She doesn't want that…

But she's afraid of what would happen if she doesn't satisfy her hunger. Izumi attacked that man on sight, she's lucky that he was a villain.

Betrayed my mom's trust..! I… I can't tell her! Tears well up in her eyes. I could hurt mom in my hunger state! I don't want to hurt her! I can still feel it! Izumi grimace at the pain she was feeling. It wasn't intense like before but I will get stronger soon.

"I have to take another quirk..! So that I won't hurt anyone..! But I don't want to hurt innocent people…" The horrible thought as she realizes a way to solve that problem.

I could take quirks of villains! They wouldn't hurt anyone and I could make it easier for any hero! Izumi thought to herself only to feel guilt.

But then they become quirkless… Izumi is fully aware of the hardships that quirkless face. It saddens her to see cruelty from people.

The hunger returns again, reminding Izumi of the danger of her quirk if she let her hunger take control again.

I have to steal quirks… For the safety of everyone..! Izumi in tears began to walk back home to recover only to hear shock voice from the alleyway.

"Shônia!? What the fuck did you do to him!?" A black hooded man rushed towards the quirk thief.

Izumi somehow dodges the man's mad rush and notice that black smoke began to form around his hands.

"Pathetic!" The man shouted as the smoke form into a ball and aimed it at Izumi

She panicked for a bit only to realize that she can use the quirk that she took. Her hands change into the same claws as before.

"What!?" The hooded man exclaimed in shock at the sight before him.

That hesitation was all she needed somehow.

Izumi rush towards him as she blindly waves her hand.

It was a surprise that her claws hit the man in the shoulder. Blood began to spew as the man hold his clutch his shoulder to stop the bleeding. Izumi reverts her hands back and quickly took his quirk. She ran away as the man collapsed.

Izumi enters her apartment and quickly but quietly closes the door to make sure that her mother won't wake up.

She collapsed to the floor in exhaustion and look at the time.

12:27 pm.

"Hah…" The young girl let out a relieving breath but quickly broke down into tears.

"I'm sorry mom..."

"Are you planning to steal our quirks!?"

Ever since last night, Izumi learns how to smell quirks,

"Get out villain!"

each smell is unique and it tempting her to just take all the quirks for herself.

"Monster!"

But she doesn't want that.

"Why the fuck are you even here Deku!?"

She wants to be a hero.

"You should be with the villains!"

She is not a villain.

"Villain!"

She's not.

"Villain!" "Villain!" "Villain!"

"I'M NOT A VILLAIN!" Izumi screams as she stands up. She instantly regrets it as every student quickly stay clear from her. Even those who were planning to use their quirk stood back.

Even Katsuki Bakugou.

In complete fear...

The teacher who was very idle at the insults, gulp for a bit before starting the lesson.

"U-uh… At least none of you are being loud for now… Anyway! Today we are going to talk about-"

Izumi sat through most of the school, quietly taking note of each lesson.

It hurts for Izumi to know that everyone single person in this school doesn't care about her at all.

And it hurts her, even more, to know that everyone is afraid of her to the point of submission.

And they were so supportive.

The teachers would actually do anything she said out of fear! She could possibly get someone in trouble if she wants to!

Is that how everyone would treat me?

Is that how everyone would see me as?

Even as a hero?

A hero that brings fear to the innocent?

I hate it.

I don't want to be a symbol of fear…

I will rather be quirkless...

As she walks to her mom to pick her up, she overheard a conversation between Katsuki and one of the teachers.

"Bakugou, she can steal your quirk!"

"Then I fucking beat her to cough it out then!"

"No! This is different! She can make you quirkless! A waste of space! Do you want to know what it's like to be quirkless!?"

"Why the fuck do you care!?"

"I do not care about her, but I know a disaster when I see one!"

"So you're fucking scared huh!?"

"Of course! You're scared as well! I saw you begging for Izumi to give your quirk back!"

"You shit! I-"

Izumi couldn't take it anymore, she ran. Crying at how cruel fate is.
She learns that all men are not created equal.

In any shape or form…

0o0o0

"Izumi..? Are you okay?" Into comfort her daughter who is crying on her shoulder.

"T-they said mean things to me..! Saying that I'm a villain..! A-and all of them stay away from me because they're afraid that I take their quirks..!" Izumi hiccupped after each word.

"Even the teachers are afraid of me..! Th-They could do anything makes me happy because they are scared that I might take their quirks..!" Inko is speechless, she never thought that it would be this bad.

"Shh… Don't worry Izumi… I can get you to transfer to another school-"

"NO!" Izumi screamed out, shocking her mother.

"Please… I don't want more people to be scared of me..!" She buried her face in Inko's shirt.

"If I meet new people..! They could figure out my quirk! And they could get scared of me…!"

"I don't want to be scary..! I don't want to be scary!"

The Midoriya matriarch could only watch in horror as she watched her daughter cry, it broke Inko's heart to see Izumi like this. A girl with a big dream and a bright future being broken down over something she has no control of.

Inko wants to see her daughter smile again...

"Shh… Do you want the ice cream to make you feel better?"

"...I would like that…" Izumi smile for a bit.

Inko takes her daughter to the nearest ice cream shop.

It was night once, Izumi is not looking forward to stealing quirks again.

She is, however, better prepared.

She now wears a plain black hoodie which is rare for a hero fanatic like her, she wore navy blue shoes, black jeans for her size and a scarf to cover her face.

"I'm ready, ...I think…"

"Are the quirks there?" Izumi checks on her quirks, Black Smoke and Metal Claws are still there. Even if she doesn't know how they even work.

"I… should probably be using to the quirks don't I?" She should be excited that she is living her dream of being a hero, but Izumi knows the cruel truth of her intentions.

That beach mom took me is a great place to train! She realizes the potential place to use the quirks.

Thankfully, her mother took her to the park on foot so she knows the way to get there.

After nearly getting caught a couple of times by pro heroes who would most likely ask why a four-year-old is walking alone at night, she arrives at the park.

"Alright… Time to test these quirks!" Izumi is for once happy at the chance to analyze new quirks which are her hobby.

"I should use Black Smoke first." Izumi focuses on the quirks within her.

Swirling smoke of the quirk began to form.

Alright… I saw that the original user of this quirk can make a ball out of this. Izumi raises her right hand to form the ball. The black smoke did as she commands and forms a ball, she tried to throw the ball but it didn't work. Can I control the ball?

Izumi imagines the ball moving and it did. The ball began to move around on her command.

She had the ball hit a refrigerator and it melted. Her eyes widened in shock and horror.

"He could have killed me! I… should've seen this coming…" Izumi is no stranger for pro heroes dying on duty but it still shocks her that the villains don't hold back.

I could get killed! These villains don't hold back! I should-

The hunger painfully reminded her of the danger of her being controlled by her hungry…

I have to learn how to control my hunger… For the sake of everyone..!

"I need to test on the other quirk, then I deal with my hunger." Izumi turns off Black Smoke and activates Metal Claw.

Her hands turned into the same claws as last night, demonic and monstrous.

Izumi swings her hands in a clawing motion.

It's heavy and yet I can raise my hands with no problem. Can I change the shape of the claws? Izumi focuses on the claws and it began to lose its monstrous appearance.

She starts experimenting by changing its shape, she even tried to change into something other than claws but the quirk is very specific.

The quirk thief stops for a break.

"Both of these quirks are great for hero's work! I just need more practice with them." Izumi stops her excitement for a second as she realizes something.

Both of these quirks felt empty just like her mom's quirk.

But why? Is there something I'm missing? Her thoughts were interrupted by her hunger.

She winces at the pain.

"I need to find quirks to take the…" Izumi groans in pain as she walks out of the beach to her 'patrol'.

The young girl did some research around Mustafa to see which is the best route to get home quirk.

Her thoughts were interrupted as shouting and grunts can be heard in an alleyway nearby alerting Izumi causing her to rush in to help those in need. Using her quirk smell to find the source.

She arrived in a horrible sight, a man wearing a suit kicking a tattooed woman to the ground.

"This is what happens when you make powerful enemies 'Jack'!"

"F-fuck you Aresh!" 'Jack' said defiantly before going unconscious.

Aresh pulled a gun intending to end the woman's life.

Body please move! Izumi was able to move her body to stop the man from killing the woman.

She quickly throws the smoke ball at the assaulter.

He somehow turned around to see the attack and put his body to the wall to avoid it.

"What the fuck!? Are you her little helper!?" Aresh aims his gun at Izumi and pulled the trigger.

In the last split second, Izumi turned her hand into fat claws that took the bullet with no problem.

"It seems I got a lucky one here!" The man threw his gun away and rush toward Izumi at an unbelievable speed.

The girl was shocked at how fast he is, uses her claws to block his attacks.

The man's fist is strong and fast, Izumi nearly collapsed at the strength he using.

He's strong and fast! I can't take his quirk like this! I need a distraction! But how?! Her mind starts working to see a solution. Wait! Can I use both quirks? Time to find out!

She activates Black Smoke while leaving Metal Claws on at the same time.

Izumi quickly covered the area with black smoke blinding the man.

"You little bitch!" Izumi tried to grab the man but he kicks her away.

"Gah!" She lets out a sharp cry of pain.

Aresh attempts to stomp on Izumi's head but she recovered quickly and use her claws to block the attack. This only causes the man to repeatedly stomp on the claws.

Izumi starts to think of a strategy until she remembered something. My electricity! I could .use that to steal his quirk.

She focuses on her own quirk in hopes of unlocking the way to steal quirks from range.

The same electricity emerges from her body but can't seem to go into her hands.

Metal Claws is blocking my quirk! Izumi realized before narrowing her eyes. I only got one shot!

As soon as Aresh stops stomping, the young girl quickly lets go of Metal Claws and shoots her electricity at him.

"GAHHHH!" He screams in pain as his quirk is forcefully taken away from him.

Izumi stands up as she sees the man collapsing to the ground.

Why did that hurt for him? That didn't happen when I took quirks from mom and Kacchan… The tattooed woman groaning in pain cut off Izumi's thought.

"Wha..?"

Izumi quickly runs back to her apartment. Her guilt washing away with the fact that she saves someone. She is happy for her quirk for once.

"What do you think?" Doctor Tsubasa looks at his master who saw the video.

"I'm happy to see that my project is starting quite well… Her quirk is already better than mine. She can take quirks from range although it's rather slow, is something that I can't do."

"Yes, All For One. Granted her hunger surprises me…" Tsubasa said as he looks through his notes.

"An unfortunate downside, a downside that I neglected to realize…" All For One grimace at the horrible memories of his hunger.

"Yes, it's unfortunate that the extraction team was caught in her hunger."

"No matter, we can always just try again in the future."
