This world is filled with those in possession of a Quirk, some kind of amazing power. Eighty percent of the world's population had one, every hero had one, and everyone without one was just boring, useless, background noise. That is the lesson Izuku Midoriya had learned when he was four and diagnosed as Quirkless and it was what he believed until he was fourteen and met his idol All Might.

That day had started out as any other, a villain was causing trouble and the heroes came to stop him. Izuku had got to watch their battle on his way to school. He had even watched the debut of the new heroin Mt. Lady! Then he rushed off to school, managing to make it on time despite getting distracted by the heroes earlier. There his day took a major downturn.

The teacher announced to the whole class that he, the only Quirkless kid in school, had signed up to enter U.A.. This of course lead to the entire class mocking him because how could a Quirkless loser ever think of applying for U.A.? What's worse, Bakugou Katsuki took that as a challenge or possibly as Izuku looking down on him, so he responded by threatening Izuku.

After class things continued to go down hill. Bakugou used his Quirk, Explosion, to burn Izuku's Hero Analysis Notebook, tossed it out the window, then told Izuku to kill himself. He thought that was the lowest point of the day but even that was eclipsed by Izuku getting attacked and nearly killed by a villain with a Slime Quirk.

This attack also marked the beginning of what made the day one of the happiest days of Izuku's life. As he was losing consciousness All Might appeared and with one punch defeated the villain, freeing Izuku. After detaining the slime in an empty soda bottle All Might gave Izuku an autograph and prepared to jump away. But this was Izuku's one opportunity to ask if he could be a hero so in a act of desperation he clung to All Might's legs when he jumped.

Finally landing on a multistoried apartment roof Izuku was given the opportunity to ask his question, "Can I be a hero without a Quirk?"

For a moment All Might paused, steam rapidly billowing from him. As Izuku remained bowed and rambling about his past he failed to see as All Might erupted into steam and be replaced by a much smaller and skeletal version of himself. Finally Izuku looked up.

"AHHHHHHH!" Izuku yelled, jumping and fidgeting around. "Where's All Might? He was just here a second ago? Imposter!"

With a sigh the now skeletal All Might spoke, "Settle down kid, I am All Might. Think of a guy holding his breath to puff up his muscles at a pool, that's me." With that he pulled up his oversized shirt and revealed a horrible injury on his side. "Five years ago I fought a very powerful villain, one who manage to injure me severely. Most of my respiratory system has been destroyed along with all of my stomach. At the moment I can stay in my hero form for three hours a day."

"W-w-what? Five years ago? That was your battle with Toxic Chainsaw?" Izuku asked, stunned that the unbeatable All Might could be injured so severely.

"Wow, you really are a fanboy but no that punk got in a few hits but he couldn't hope to injure me like this. No the fight that did this was never published, the Symbol of Peace must never falter because that's what gives people hope. So don't go telling anyone about this online or amongst your friends, got it?" All Might said, getting more serious at the end. Izuku nodded his head so fast All Might was almost worried it would fly off.

With another sigh, one brought on by thinking of the past All Might continued to speak, "To answer your question. Can you be a hero without a Quirk?" Izuku tensed, dreading the answer but needing to know with all of his heart. "Someone once told me, 'A hero is determined not by their Quirk but by their heart! So smile and never give up because that smile will burn away the dark!' So to answer your question, yes you can be a hero without a Quirk. The real question is if you are willing to work hard for it, to rise above the challenges in your path, and smile to the world?"

As All Might finished speaking Izuku, through a tsunami of tears, smiled and spoke, "T-thank you! I'll do it! I'll show the world that I can be a hero they can depend on!"

"That's good young man! Now if you'll excuse me I need to get this villain to the police." As he said that All Might realized the bottle was no longer in his pocket. 'Oh crap', he thought to himself.

The rest of the day happened in a blur for Izuku. He made his way off the building in a happy daze. He then walked to the scene of a villain attack without noticing, the same villain that had just attacked him. While the heroes present stood around trying to minimize damage he spotted the middle schooler the sludge villain had captured, his long time bully Bakugou, and before he could stop himself he charged in to help. Both Bakugou and Izuku were then saved by All Might, who was inspired by Izuku's bravery to act. The day ended with another surprise when after everything All Might found Izuku on his way home.

It was then that All Might offered to train Izuku because Izuku had, in All Might's words, the heart of a true hero! It was this offer that started Izuku's ten month campaign to clean Dagobah Beach of trash. The work was gruelling and at times Izuku felt like he was going to die but he kept going because if he wanted to be a Quirkless Hero then he needed to push himself four times as hard as anyone else.

By the sixth month much of Dagobah Beach was cleaned of trash. Izuku was still pushing himself relentlessly, going so far that All Might had to make a new schedule when Izuku pushed himself past the original. Right now Izuku was busy moving trash, taking a pile to the old pickup truck All Might used to deliver everything to the designated landfill. As he went back to collect more Izuku noticed that the trash he just moved had been in a small crater. At the center of the crater, surrounded by glassed sand, was a hammer sticking up from the ground.

The hammer was had a short handle wrapped in leather and the head seemed to be made of a large rectangle of solid metal. Curious about the odd hammer Izuku picked it up to examine it closer. As he lifted it up to examine it a bolt of lightning struck him, the suddenness of it made him fall backwards onto his butt.

"Young Midoriya! Are you alright?" All Might asked, rushing over in his buff form.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine. J-just a-a little shocked is all." Izuku answered looking up at All Might, still shaking a little from the nerves. Izuku began to pat himself down with his hand that wasn't holding the hammer.

"Haha that is good my boy! You gave me quite the fright." All Might said resting a hand on the boys shoulder. "Though lightning isn't something to play with, are you sure your fine? I won't be mad if you need to take some time off, it would be for the best if your injured."

"I-I'm sure, I just fell from fright." Izuku said, calming down as he spoke. He couldn't quite explain it but he didn't feel as anxious as he usually did.

"Well then I am glad you are ok, Young Midoriya! Do you know what happened to cause such a sudden shock?"

"Uh, I-I'm not sure. I was just clearing some junk from around this crater when I picked up this hammer," Raising the hammer to show All Might, "cause it looked neat and I got a bit distracted, not that I don't want to be here or that this isn't important I just think the design is neat..." Izuku began mumbling.

"You are mumbling my boy." All Might said gently, breaking Izuku from his monolog.

"Right, sorry. Uh after I picked up the hammer the lightning struck it and I fell. Could the hammer of caused it or maybe some static build up?" Izuku pondered.

"Can I see that hammer my boy?" All Might asked.

"O-of course!" Izuku immediately began to nod and handed the hammer to All Might. As soon as the hammer left Izuku's grip it plummeted to the ground, dragging All Might's arm with it. "Ah! Are you ok?" Izuku yelled, startled.

"Yes, I am fine. This hammer is heavier than I thought. How were you able to hold it so easily?" All Might asked confused.

"I-I don't know, I just could I-I g-guess." Izuku said looking down suddenly self conscious. All Might motioned for Izuku to lift the hammer once again and he was able to with little apparent strain.

"Well this is quite the mystery!" All Might said with a loud laugh. "Why don't you take that strange hammer home today, we will cut today's training short and I am sure that in no time your sharp mind will find the secrets to this weird hammer!"

"O-ok, I will figure out what this hammer is! Don't worry All Might, I won't let you down!" Izuku promised.

"Good to hear my boy, I know you can do it! Do you need a ride home?" Seeing Izuku nod no All Might said, "Very well, my boy! I shall see you tomorrow." With that All Might made his way to the beat up pick-up truck and drove off.

(Scene Change)

Izuku's walk home was spent contemplating the hammer, so much so that he was surprised when he arrived home having been lost in his thoughts. Izuku's home was in the top floor of an apartment complex. It was a two bedroom apartment with a small kitchen and modestly sized living room. The walls were tan, with some cracks, and mostly bare. The living room had an old red green couch with a coffee table in front of it, a worn chair was to the side of the table and everything faced the tv which was against the wall with the door.

Izuku's mom, Inko Midoriya, was sitting on the couch watching a movie called "The Quirk of Love". She jumped abit when Izuku opened the door, once she saw it was Izuku she began to asked a barrage of worried questions, "Izuku! You're home early, are you ok? Did something happen, you're not hurt are you?"

"Uh, no no. I'm fine just taking an early day is all." Izuku answered nervously, he didn't want his mom to know about the whole lightning thing because that would definitely cause her to go into a panic.

"W-well that's good, you don't want to over do it and hurt yourself. I haven't started supper yet but if you're hungry we have some apples, I just bought some today." Inko offered, her heart rate starting to settle down now that she knew Izuku wasn't hurt.

"That's ok, I'm just going to go to my room." Izuku replied as he walked past his mom and the couch and headed to his room. His room was recognizable thanks to the All Might themed plaque that had his name on it that rested on his door. Inside his room was even more All Might themed memorabilia, one could argue Izuku had too much memorabilia but Izuku would disagree.

The room was covered in All Might posters, the twin sized bed had an All Might bedspread, even his alarm was All Might themed. Then there were the All Might action figures that decorated most of the shelves in his room. Though to be fair he had other hero merchandise like a pair of Present Mic Headphones, a Gang Orc sponsored book on marine life, and Captain Marvel themed hoodie. The last one was particularly rare since Captain Marvel was an American Heroine.

As Izuku made his way to his desk to study the strange hammer more closely it began to glow. Floating out of his hand it hovered at eye level then the glow condensed into the shape of a tall, muscular man though it lacked any details beyond an outline due to it being made of light. Izuku was rendered speechless from his shock and before he could think of anything, he was further thrown through a loop when the hammer spoke. It's voice came out like a rolling wave of thunder as it said, "Greetings Izuku Midoriya, I am Mjolnir."

Izuku starred for a moment, his mind taking its time understanding the events that just happened. Then once his brain rebooted itself he started to pace around, to put it plainly he was freaking out! What was going on, how was the hammer talking? Was this a Quirk, some kind of weird joke but then how come All Might couldn't lift the hammer? What kind of Quirk would be needed to pull this off?

"Worry not Izuku Midoriya, this is not a trick." Mjolnir said, interrupting Izuku from his unintentional muttering. "The other man, All Might, could not lift me for he was not worthy. Only those I deem worthy may lift me and wield the powers of Thor."

"W-what do y-you mean, wield the powers of Thor? And why wouldn't All Might be worthy, he's All Might the greatest Hero every!" Izuku asked, his nervous stutter giving away at the end as he praised All Might.

"I shall not share what traits one had that made them unworthy of me." Mjolnir answered, it had yet to move except to keep its gaze on Izuku as he paced during his muttering. "Those who are worthy are granted the powers of Thor, God of Thunder. I have appeared before you to aid you in understanding these powers, for there is no Asgardian left to do so."

"Ok, w-wait. You m-mean a g-god, like an actual god?" Izuku asked, this really was too much.

"Thor was considered a god by some of the inhabitants of Midgard, after he protected them from frost giants. The other Asgardians took similar titles as their existence was discovered by your people." Mjolnir replied, seeing Izuku's continued confusion the hammer continued explaining. "Midgard is the name given to this planet by the Asgardians. The Asgardians were a race of immortals from the realm of Asgard."

As the night wore on, Izuku listened as Mjolnir explained who Thor was and the powers he, and now Izuku, possessed. Through this lecture Izuku kept detailed notes, which he felt he would definitely need since he was a little overwhelmed with everything to really process it. It would be well into the morning before Mjolnir would finish and revert back into its hammer form.
