Hello everyone, this is my first MHA fic. A couple of things before I begin.

I do take requests for one-shots. Which I may expand on more if I feel inspired. However, should I will not accept requests for Bakugou/Uraraka. I personally don't like that pairing. I also don't see any canon evidence to it.

I also – most likely – won't be referencing the movie, as I have not seen it yet. If I see it before I reach a certain point with this story, then I will reference it and may use the characters, but if not...

I'll respond to some comments and questions in the notes before the chapters start. If you want to ask something of me or have other questions, please ask away. If you have constructive criticism to give, also please give it.

I own nothing except for the computer that I write with.

Thank you and without further ado, let us begin.

Chapter 1: Izuku Midoriya – Origin

To say that Midoriya Izuku was having a bad day was an understatement. His days at school were never pleasant – due to the bias against quirkless people like himself and his childhood friend turned bully Bakugo Katsuki – it had been worse than normal due to Bakugo blowing up and throwing his Hero Analysis For The Future Vol. 13 notebook into a small pond. While lamenting this, Izuku had been attacked and almost killed by a villain made of slime, who had wanted to possess his body.

However, Izuku had been saved by a hero. And not just any hero. He had been saved by the No. 1 Hero, and his own personal favorite and inspiration, All Might. He had even managed to get the Hero's autograph in his notebook. And what had been a terrible day for Izuku had become a dream come true.

Until it all came crashing down around him.

All Might has collected the pieces of the Sludge Villain and moved to leap away. But Izuku needed to know something. He needed to know that the worlds greatest hero – his hero – believed in his dream. If All Might believed in it, then Izuku didn't care what others thought. All he needed was All Might's approval.

So that's what he sought. In a moment of desperation Izuku had grabbed onto All Mights leg and held on as the man rocketed into the sky. The hero had landed on a rooftop when he noticed Izuku clinging onto his leg, and it was there that the hero's biggest secret was released: He was crippled, and slowly but surely, the hero that was All Might was beginning to die.

It was also there that the final nail in the coffin that was Midoriya Izuku's dream was hammered into place.

"You can't be a hero. Not without a quirk."

Just like that Izuku felt himself crack. All of the hurtful comments from the past came to the forefront of his mind, playing over and over again. They played as he walked back to his apartment, taking in none of the sights nor caring about anyone around him. This led him to the scene of another villain battle – one that he recognized.

The Sludge Villain had broken free, most likely when Izuku grabbed onto All Might's pants. If that wasn't the worst part, the villain had taken Bakugo hostage, and was manipulating the boy's explosion quirk to cause massive collateral damage and prevent the nearby heroes from assisting.

The next events were a blur, even now. Izuku had charged forward, feeling the need to go help his former friend, which overpowered any and all rational thoughts he could have had. And, miraculously, he had managed to stun the villain and free Bakugo. But the two were still in danger and the villain not yet defeated.

Until All Might reappeared. In a single punch and a yell of SMASH, the Sludge Villain was blown all across the alley, with the shockwave caused by the punch broke and dissipated the smoke clouds cause by Bakugo's explosions.

Midoriya and Bakugo had been collected by the police and other pros while All Might smiled and spoke to the reporters and fans that were present. The two boys were placed side by side while being examined by paramedics. Two of the heroes at the scene – Kamui Woods and Death Arms – began to speak.

They complemented Bakugo for his powerful quirk and continued to spout out about how great a hero he could become with its power. But when it came to Izuku all they had to say were words of anger, all the while scolding him for risking his life, getting in the way of real heroes and how he could have made the situation worse.

'I got in the way of real heroes? How? The one's there did nothing? I get that not all heroes have quirks that are compatible with fighting different types of villains, but they should have done something! Hell, all I needed to free Kacchan was my backpack and some quick thinking. No super strength, no wood powers, no explosions...no quirk. I saved him without a quirk...I was the real hero in that situation, not them.'

So lost in thought and anger that Izuku didn't notice his old friend approaching him until Bakugo got his attention the usual way: a small explosion and a yell of "DEKU!"

Turning, Izuku repressed the anger that was threatening to come out. If he exploded now, Kacchan would just beat him up, and honestly, he didn't need any more scratches or burn marks today.

"I didn't need your fucking help!" Bakugo continued to shout at him. "I could've gotten out of there just fine Deku! Next time just do everyone a favor and FUCK OFF and let the real heroes deal with it, you quirkless bastard!"

With his piece said, Bakugo began to storm away. Turning back around, Izuku began to trudge back to his house, all the while the anger he had felt his whole life began to resurface. Anger at his quirklessness, anger at the lack of support he received from anyone about his dream, anger...

Anger at himself. For being so weak as to not stand up for himself.

Izuku was shaken out of his mental self-loathing when a blur of white, yellow, and khaki zoomed in front of him. Stumbling back onto his butt, Izuku looked up and saw the smiling, beefed up figure that was All Might.

"HAHAHA! I have found you, young Midoriya -"

All Might was cut off by a rush of blood exploding from his mouth, causing his body to deflate into the skinny appearance that he had shown Izuku earlier that day.

Normally Izuku would be ecstatic at the sight of his hero or freaking out due to the amount of blood that was spewing from All Might's mouth. But the No. 1 Hero, the Symbol of Peace...Izuku's hero, had shown that he was no better than anyone else in Izuku's life. He had sat there and watched him get chewed out by the other heroes, the ones who failed to do their job, while All Might played with the press. Izuku knew then and there that All Might was no different than Kacchan, his teachers, and all the other people who had ever derived him...they all judged him by his quirklessness. They assumed that he was a nobody, someone who was never going to amount to anything in the world.

Well, he had had enough.

"Sorry about tha-"

"Shut up!"

Both the Pro Hero and the school boy stood in silence – one taken aback by the ferocity and anger in the other's voice, the other looking at the ground, his fist clenched, his small form shaking.

"You're probably here to reprimand me for running out there without a quirk. Or for getting in the way of the other heroes." Izuku spat out the word hero like he hated it. "Or maybe you're here to remind me, again, that I can't become a hero?"

"Young Mid-"

"Well you don't have to worry!" Izuku snarled cutting off All Might. "I don't plan on becoming one! Not anymore! What I saw today...that wasn't heroism. Those heroes – Kamui Woods, Death Arms, Mt. Lady – none of them did a damn thing to help the situation! All they did was watch as Ka...as Bakugo almost died! And then I show up and get him out! And what happens? I get scolded! For what? For doing their job! For not having a quirk!"

"And what's worse!" All Might recoiled slightly as Midoriya's head shot up, his large green eyes filled with tears and anger that the hero hadn't seen in an individual since him. "The hero I looked up to the most just stood there and justified it! You justified the scolding of a simple act of heroism – of true heroism – and that..."

Izuku's body lost all the tension he held as he hung his head, masking the tears that fell from his eyes, though nothing could mask the way his voice choked up. "And that's it then. I'm done. I'm done wanting to be a hero, I'm done liking them...and I'm done believing in them. I'm done believing in you. Goodbye All Might."

With that Izuku stormed past the still frozen hero, who could only stare at the young man whose form was slowly beginning to blur. 'What is?' All Might asked himself before he felt a cool splash of liquid trail down his face. 'Oh...'

And that's the first chapter. I will try to update as frequently as I can. But no promises. As a reminder, please review and ask questions if you are confused by something, or the angle that I'm going for. I'll answer either before the chapter, or in the writing itself. So until the next time, this is TheSaintsFollower, signing out.
