Midoriya Inko knew that her son Midoriya Izuku was destined for great things in the police force. With his quirk and him suffering from a bleeding heart it makes it hard for him to ignore things. Crimes that have happened were sometimes easily (with relation to the normal means of solving them) solved and crimes that haven't happened yet were (very rarely) prevented. The instances where he can use his quirk to help prevent and solve crimes are few and far between but where he does excel at his is attention to detail and his almost superhuman analysis ability. So Inko thought that it should be obvious that Izuku should go into law enforcement.

Izuku disagreed. He still helped the police with simple cases whenever he could but he didn't see a future in that. You see, he wants to be a hero. A hero that can inspire hope with a smile just like All Might. His mother doesn't mind. Too much. You could say that this dream was planted when he first saw the video of All Might's debut. Personally, I'd like to think that it started to become reality when he first saw his best friend fight off some older kids. That's where he first saw an act heroism in relation to his life.


The four older kids were running away. One looked back and Izuku saw the bite marks on his ear, courtesy of a blond human bomb.

*sniff* "I was just like All Might, wasn't I Deku? Anyway, they came just like you said they would. Is this your quirk? You were talking about seeing the future and your eyes were purple"

"Huh? I never said anything like that."

"Yeah. You should go tell aunty."

"What?"

"You're right. Maybe she'll make you some katsudon. Do you think I should come along? Since I was here when it happened?"

"Are you listening to me?"

Kacchan, better known to others as Bakugou Katsuki, nodded his head and walked towards Izuku. Then through Izuku. It felt weird, like he was doused in warm oil. He saw Kacchan pause and gooseflesh on the back of his neck.

He looked back but Izuku thought that he wasn't looking at Izuku but a few centimetres ahead of him. Izuku couldn't see anything so he assumed that it was something to do with the quirk Kacchan said he was talking about.

"What are you looking at? Let's go!", Kacchan said.

He turned around and walked forwards. Izuku looked around and realised his surroundings have somewhat changed. He could still see Kacchan but not for much longer. He was walking towards a mist unlike anything Izuku has ever seen before. It was purple and, more importantly, was sparking with green electricity. It also surrounded him evenly and also above him. It looked unnatural, with the way that the mist didn't move even when people passed through it, with the way he couldn't see through it even though it gave him the impression of thinness, with the way that it seemed to chime in disharmony with itself.

The fact that the mist didn't move added to its mystery, its opacity juxtaposed with its thinness added to the idea that the mist shouldn't be here and the disharmonic chimes added to the feeling that Izuku, who felt like he was responsible for this impossible mist, was raising his middle finger to the realness of everything else.

The mist just didn't feel real.

"My quirk is so weird", Izuku thought to himself. He was quite right. It was very weird. But in a world where humans have naturally evolved engines that work on juice on their legs and can cancel out one of the four fundamental forces of the universe for a limited amount of time, normal seems to be in quite short supply.

"Where did those big kids come from anyway? Why was Kacchan fighting them? When did we even move here? We were over by the small gacha ball machine but the city clock struck 2 around 13 minutes ago and it's *checks the watch of a passing adult* 16 minutes. It's been 1 minute since Kacchan beat them up so where did those 2 minutes go?"

Izuku continues mumbling up a storm, not noticing the mist starting to pulse arrhythmically.

He stops, feeling like he fell very quickly and for a long time. He was back at the gacha ball machine with Kacchan.

He feels excited. His quirk lets him to see the future or something close to that. He could be a hero with tha-

"what did you get Deku? I got All Might."

"Huh? That doesn't matter Kacchan I got my quirk I can travel to the future for a bit or see it or something it was so cool I could walk through people and I can be a hero Kacchan! Oh yeah four kids are going to come and you sent them running home you bit oneanditwassocoolIcan'tbelievethat-"

Kacchan smacks him on the head and says, "slow down. You got a quirk like Nighteye? And I beat up four kids? What the hell, I thought you were quirkless! You better not be lying Deku!"

"I'm not quirkless! I'm just a late bloomer!", he said while walking.

Izuku wasn't looking where he was going (his attention to details happened quite a while later) and walked into someone, sending the both of them to the ground. It was one of the kids. He could tell by the shirt he was wearing. He was the one Kacchan bit.

"Watch where you're going shorty. Apologize to me."

"S-sorry."

"Not good enough. Give me that ball and I might not beat you up."

"Tamaki that's too much. He apologized so let them-"

"He isn't going to give you anything dipshit. Now go away and leave us alone or I'll beat you up. Got that?"

The kid-Tamaki-attempted to push Kacchan down onto the ground but he moves to his left and kicks Tamaki on the shin. Hard. Tamaki yelps and stumbles back. Kacchan walks towards him but is pushed to the ground by one of the kid's friends. Kacchan gets up and headbutts him while Izuku backs away from the fight. One of the other kids does the same. Kacchan punches and gets punched in the mouth by another kid. Tamaki comes forward and Kacchan lunges at him, face first and bites him.

"Stop that! Stop that right now! What do you kids think you are doing? Get lost before I call your parents. Now!"

The shop owner has come out and was walking to them threateningly. They could tell he wasn't joking. The kids who were fighting got up and walked, and in some cases limped, away. The adult went back in with a final glare at Kacchan and Izuku. Izuku turned and looked at Kacchan and with a sense of déjà vu said, "Kacchan that was so cool!"

*sniff* "I was just like All Might, wasn't I Deku? Anyway, they came just like you said they would. Is this your quirk? You were talking about seeing the future and your eyes were purple"

"My eyes turned purple. Are they back to green now?"

"No. You should go tell aunty."

"I will. We'll probably celebrate!"

"You're right. Maybe she'll make you some katsudon. Do you think I should come along? Since I was here when it happened?"

Izuku paused. This was going exactly the same way as his vision. Seeing the future is all well and good but-

"Deku there's purple clouds coming out of you! Is this your quirk?"

Izuku looked down and saw purple vapour coming of off him just like Kacchan said, "I probably changed the future thinking on how to answer. This purple vapour probably means that I'm changing the future right now."

"It probably is Kacchan. Let's go now! I can't wait to tell mum!"

"Ok."

They ran off towards Izuku's house. Izuku noticed that the mist went away after 2 minutes. The same amount of time he was in the future. He took note and carried on.


This was also the day that Izuku discovered his quirk.
