(A.N) so this is my first ever fan fiction, so I hope I am doing this correctly, and I hope you enjoy reading! Just a quick btw, Izuku is 12 in the first few chapters, even though he is older in canon, this is to make the story go smoother

Midoriya's POV

As I walked down the maze of streets, Kacchan's words rang throughout my head-

"You should just take a swan dive off a building and hope you get a quirk in your next life"

I lowered my head as I walked, thinking What if Kacchan is right? As I made my way through the streets, I decided to take a shortcut through an alleyway. I wasn't looking where I was going, so I ran into this... blob? I looked up, and the thing looked at me and grabbed me, it was a villain. I tried to run, I tried to escape but I couldn't do anything about it.

But then, I saw something, no someone jump into the alleyway and pull me from the blob's grasp.

It was All might

My eyes lit up and hope rushed through my blood as All Might called, "I am here!"

I was freed and lied on the ground and the blob was put into a container, so I jumped up, "All Might! Wait!" I called out.

All Might turned to me, "Yes young one?"

I took in a deep breath and mustered all of my courage, "Can I become a hero without a quirk?" I said, smiling and filled with hope.

All Might's expression changed, he was no longer smiling, but had a somber expression, "no," he replied, but realizing how he said it continued, "but you could be a police officer or a fireman!"

I didn't realize at first, but I had a tear rolling down my cheek and a look of disappointment and hate on my face.

He was trying to stop me from feeling bad I could tell. The looks went away and I wiped my eyes. I just nodded then mumbled, "thanks for saving me," and walked out of the alley, a million thoughts rushing through my mind at once

A police officer, a firefighter? They are useless in this world! That's what heroes are for!

I arrived at my home and before entering I put my best fake smile on and entered, only to me greeted by my mom, "how was your day honey?" She said with a smile.

"Fine," I responded, hugging my mom, never able to make eye contact with her, I released her embrace. I walked down the hall, and into my All Might filled room. I sat my backpack down and looked around. I had All Might action figures, an All Might bed set, posters, and everything in between. I grabbed a daily large box and picked up an action figure and tossed it in, my mom told me to get rid of anything I didn't want and put it in boxes.

Soon every All Might thing I owned was in the large box, covered my an inside out All Might bed cover. I taped the box shut and put it in the back of my half-empty closet.

I walked out of my room and into the hall closet to get some white bed sheets and a large gray blanket to put on my bed, once that was done I put some miscellaneous objects in my shelves from my desk like notebooks, books, and whatnot. Soon my room didn't look as bland and I sat on my bed looking around smiling. I would prove him wrong.

(A.N) Most of my chapters will most likely be longer than this, so tell me if you like this so far!
