Note: Updates have been pretty frequent thus far, but will slow down from here. This isn't due to a burn out or lack of interest to this story, but mainly just I'll be pretty busy these next couple months. Updates won't be paused, just slower than the first two chapters.

Izuku Midoriya, 8 years old. One day after discovering his stand's power.

The green-haired boy's steps made soft thuds against the ground as he excitedly jogged down his schoolyard. He was slightly disappointed that his mom instructed him not to show off All Star, but he was still happy that he was, even if only partly, like everyone else around him now.

"Hey deku"! Izuku halted in his tracks, a slight sweat starting to form before he realized something. He turned to the kid who called out to him with an uninterested look. His suspicions were confirmed correct when he saw a pudgy kid in a tank-top with thinly shaved hair sending a mean look his way. The green haired boy let out a sigh. One of Kacchan's cronies stood in a pose similar to that of the boy he would follow around. Every now and then they would try to be like their 'hero' by copying the things he did. And sometimes they would choose to pick on one of Kacchan's favorite victims.

"Hey don't sigh at me! I saw you skipping around the courtyard, what is some quirkless kid like you so happy about"? Izuku used to get disheartened at the insults aimed at him, but he found now that they seemed very weak. He inwardly groaned at having to deal with this.

"Hey look, can we just not do this today? I really don't feel like taking this right now". That seemed to be the wrong thing to say. Anger flashed on the other boy's face as he started stomping towards the green-haired stand user.

"And what right do you have to-"?

Neither of the two boys saw it coming. The bully had grabbed the front of Izuku's shirt for a split second before the familiar ghastly arm materialized from Izuku and punched the boy, knocking him backwards before he could even finish his sentence. The green eyed boy looked on in horror as the boy that was previously threatening him lay on the ground a few feet away, clutching his stomach and threatening to bawl his eyes out. The other kids took no notice of the two at first, but were alerted to the situation when the bully let out a cry. Before Izuku knew it all of the kids were swarming around the area, whispering rumors on how the quirkless kid got into a fight with the boy and somehow 'won'.

Izuku paid no mind to the hushed rambling as a couple teachers came to inspect what was going on, his thoughts were running a mile a minute. He vaguely recalled his mother telling him about how stand's will protect their user's despite not receiving any orders. He thought it was just going to be a push away from him or a threatening pose, he didn't want to hurt anyone.

The teachers ushered the boy to the nurse and brought Izuku to the office. They rang up his mother about the situation and she said that he had unlocked his quirk and didn't know how to control it yet. She had them hand the phone over to the still horrified Izuku and she said to him that there was no point in trying to keep it hidden anymore. Izuku answered back in quick one or two word answers, still mulling over what had occurred.

The school day wrapped up quite quickly after that, with the only further talk about the situation being through the students. Izuku trudged off the school grounds towards his home, a sluggish pace displaying his guilt at what had happened. The kid wasn't fatally injured, but there was some bruising on his stomach where All Star jabbed him.

Izuku called out the aforementioned stand, who held a somewhat downcast expression on it's face. Izuku still wasn't sure how sentient his companion was, but what he gathered from the books he assumed that it mirrored his emotions.

"You know, that wasn't very nice. I don't want to hurt anyone, and I'm sure you didn't have to hit him". The stand pulled the hood already resting atop it's head even further down, casting his face in slight shadows. It's simple actions still somehow conveyed to the boy exactly what it was trying to say. It felt shame at making him disappointed, but wouldn't hesitate to do it again if something threatens him. It showed a type of loyalty that Izuku felt was slightly heartwarming.

"Hey don't feel too bad, I'm sure you were just doing what your instincts told you". He couldn't find it in himself to be mad at the ghostly figure hovering over him, showing an almost childlike defiance.

"Hey Deku"! Izuku immediately recalled All Star in surprise before turning to look at the voice, a sense of deja vu playing back the events earlier that day.

"Kacchan"! The blond child approached the shivering boy with an arrogant grin on his face. Izuku paled slightly, hoping that he wouldn't make the same mistake as the boy from earlier. He felt a small glimmer of hope as he recognized that Katsuki was approaching him with an air of intimidation, not hostility.

"I heard you finally got your quirk. I came over here to tell you not to forget your place. Good job or whatever on taking out one of those goons, but just remember that I don't care what your quirk is, just know that it's not better than mine". The boy slammed his fist into his palm, small explosions radiating around it before he walked off, a confident smirk plastered onto his face.

Izuku blinked at the spot where Katsuki used to be before leaking a small smile. He successfully avoided fighting, and he was pretty sure that Katsuki wouldn't go after him as much anymore. Izuku idolized Kacchan and studied his behaviors, and easily came to the conclusion that the main target's for his bullying were either the kid's with the weakest quirks, or the kid with no quirks. He went after Izuku the most because he was stronger than him in almost every way, but now he's lost that edge.

Izuku beamed at the prospect that he wouldn't have to worry about him anymore, and happily walked the rest of the way home, making idle one-sided talk with his stand.

Izuku Midoriya, 10 years old.

One thing the stand user learned very early on about his stand was that it was different from quirks. He spent hours inside the book, mulling over every little detail to figure out how to make it stronger. With quirk's, they started out pretty weak, but over time the person get's more and more accustomed to their quirk. This allows them to infinitely have the ability to make their uirk stronger in some way. A person with a flame quirk could start out with making small embers that couldn't burn a piece of paper, to being able to make wide range forest fires with enough hard work.

Stand's on the other hand, started out with a good chunk of their power. Of course the stand is able to get stronger as time passes and the user figures out and hones more of it's skills, but it was a noticeably slower process to that of quirks. He read that it was called development potential, and apparently each different stand has different levels of development potential. So Izuku was trying to figure out his learning curve.

"Magnet's magnet's. How can we figure out how to use your magnet power's to the full potential"? He read in the book as well that stand's may have hidden abilities, but he didn't want to touch on that right now.

"I know, I'll look at heroes who do have magnet power's and borrow from them"! The stand simply stared at the boy.

11 Years old

Izuku first learned that he couldn't take a hit when he tested it at the beach he kept going to for his training.

"Ok, I want you to attract the garbage can, and when it's flying towards you, cancel it at the last second. This way it will hit you, and we can see how much damage we can take. Sound good buddy"? The stand nodded with determination.

Izuku and All Star's friendship was strange. Only one could verbally communicate, but they both seemed to understand each other just fine. Izuku looked up to the stand almost the same way he used to look up to All Might. He still admired the pro hero, he just didn't have enough time to focus on getting his merch when he had to train his stand. He still held massive respect and hero worship towards the number one hero though. When his mother asked why he admired his own stand so much Izuku would normally respond with "Because he's super awesome"!

Izuku shook his head, going back to the task at hand.

"Ok All Star, attract it"! He still needed to work on his battle cry, but the stand didn't seem to mind as he made the trash can fly towards the offending stand, who stood with his arms outstretched to take the full force of the attack. The trash can connected and Izuku doubled over as the wind was knocked out of him. The stand hovered over the green-haired boy with an air of protectiveness, ready to assist when needed.

"Woo, I'm okay. Just a little winded. Ok, so the hit seemed the same as if I would take it directly. So your durability isn't too high, but you can still take a hit or two. Me on the other hand". He got back up to his feet, a grin still on his face. While the information gathered was unfavorable, he could still work with it.

"I guess we'll just have to not get hit".

13 years old.

Izuku held up the item in his hands for his mother to see, wanting to hide his face. Inko gasped, her hands covering her mouth as her eyes widened.

"Izuku". The boy flinched, not wanting to hear his mother's response to the thing he was grasping tightly now in anticipation.

"You're copying him! That's so adorable"!

"Mom! It's not adorable"!

Izuku held a piece of clothing in his hands, more specifically, a hoodie. The hoodie was a light green, much lighter than, but obviously heavily inspired by the hoodie that his stand wore. Izuku hadn't fully decided on his dream hero costume, but he knew he wanted a hoodie like All Star that he could wear all the time. And his mom was reacting like he expected her to.

The boy cried out in indignation as his mom continued to coo over his new clothing.

Izuku Midoriya, 14 years old. 10 months before the entrance exam.

The stand user stood on the beach he spent years training his stand on with a confident grin. The beach was noticeably scarce of pollution, as a result of all the years he spent attacking and experimenting on it, basically grinding it into dust or scattering it into the wind.

He stuck with the light green hoodie, which provided a nice color palette when paired up with his stand. He stuck to normal blue jeans with black shoes, providing him with a pretty casual look instead of the flashy hero he used to aspire to be. Izuku laughed, it was amazing what getting something like a quirk could change.

Izuku never interacted much with other kids, after the incident years ago when his stand attacked someone, he refused to make any type of enemy for fear that they would get hurt on accident. And he figured the easiest way to do that was to simply keep to himself and not interact much with other people. That decision is probably the reason why he had atrocious social skills but he determined that it was for the better.

Because of his limited interaction with other people, he could only judge his stand based on his own experience training it. Izuku called out his stand, the soft glow emanating from it making a nice picture when combined with the orange morning glow. It was 10 months before the entrance exam to U.A, a decision that when announced, caused Katsuki to challenge Izuku with an overconfident smirk on his face.

"Go ahead and try to get into U.A you nerd. It will only make me shine brighter of how much I overshadow you". Luckily his theory was correct in that Katsuki wouldn't bother him as much anymore. Now their relationship was more of Katsuki not acting angrily towards the stand user, but more of him putting down Izuku for being not as good as him. A treatment he has towards everyone, but with Izuku it seemed more like a rivalry. He supposed he could thank the fact that they used to be childhood friends kept him from being despised by him. When Izuku offered o let Katsuki see his stand he replied, "I don't care about your 'stand' or quirk or whatever, I just care about results. How about you show me if you ever get into U.A., then we'll see how much better I am than you".

Izuku grinned at the stand floating just in front of him.

"Let's show not just Kacchan, but the world our strength All Star! With you by my side, I know I can become the greatest hero"! He stuck out his fist with a confident smile, that the stand mirrored as he fist bumped Izuku.
