Midoriya Izuku like all children wanted to be a hero growing up. However, at four almost five years old his quirk still had not appeared. And the delay of his quirk had also brought about the ostracization of his peers. His once best friend Bakugo Katsuki or Kacchan was no longer his best friend or even his friend in general. And today the other kids got out of control and now Izuku had to explain the bruises to his mom.

"What happened sweetie?" Midoriya Inko, his mother, asks. Izuku's mind flashes back to after school where the other kids made fun of him for still not having a quirk. He jumps into his mom's arms fast and hard like a bullet before he starts crying. He tells her all about his day from getting to school to all the bruises that he got from his once friend. Inko sets her son down on the chair and goes off to the bathroom to get a first aid kit to deal with his injuries. Its beyond frustrating for this to be a problem at school, especially since her son is so young. First thing was first though, dealing with the injuries. She comes back with disinfectant and All Might bandages. After cleaning up Inko decides that to help cheer Izuku up it would be best to get to the bottom of what is happening with his quirk and set an appointment with a doctor for the next day.

The next day Izuku was bouncing on his way to the doctor's office. This was his chance to get rid of the nickname "Deku" once and for all. Arriving at the doctor's office he is put through some of the standard tests before he and his mother are sent into the room to wait. Izuku's doctor, Dr. Tsubasa, comes in and sets up a picture of the x-ray they had taken moments ago.

"According to modern science, quirks are the next step of evolution in human beings. To this day we have no idea where they came from, however one sign points to the lack of a joint in the pinky toe. Your son also seems to lack this joint so most likely his quirk will appear soon." The doctor started.

"Is there anything we can do to help this along?" Izuku's mother replied. That was the last of the conversation Izuku caught as he began to fantasize about his quirk. The doctor said he should get one soon. That meant that everyone would stop worrying about him soon and then he would be on his way to being just like All Might. He was bouncing so much that he dropped the All Might toy that he brought to the office with him.

"-yes, that's right my husband's quirk is to breathe fire and mine is a weak form of telekinesis." Inko said as she grabbed the toy from the ground with her quirk. She gave it back to Izuku as he continued to play in the office. After they finished at the doctor's office, Inko stopped to get ingredients and then headed back home. After dinner and putting Izuku to bed Inko put Izuku to bed and tried to get herself some rest.

Inko woke up to small arms tugging at her roughly. The first thing she took in was the smoke all around the apartment. It was all over and she could feel it filling her lungs. She grabbed Izuku and made a dash for her open door and into the hallway only to be stopped by the fire in front of her. She was about to just run straight through when suddenly, the fire cleared to both sides. It was a straight line to the door and as much as Inko wanted to know what happened getting to safety was the most important thing right now.

When she burst out there were several rescue crews, heroes, and firemen in the area helping other families out of the apartment complex. As she started heading down a fireman quickly spotted her and quickly brought her over and began checking her and Izuku over. She had suffered from inhaling too much smoke, but otherwise would make a full recovery. Izuku on the other hand had not suffered from anything at all through the fire despite his young age. Inko began putting the pieces together at the information and realized that her son had finally awakened his quirk. If only she knew the hardships it would bring.

"So basically Mrs. Midoriya due to the nature of your son's quirk we cannot accept the risk of housing you in the city any longer. There are two options either find an insurance company that will insure your home and possessions with such a volatile quirk or move into an approved community." Inko took a moment to process the information it came as no shock that due to his quirk there would be some problems with an insurance claim, but she never expected to be forced out of her home.

"What are our options" Inko asked hesitantly.

"You can move to the Asakusa area. It's a poorer area, but with your son's quirk we can reasonably assume the damages he causes in that area. It may seem a little unfair, but most other companies will have you living on the streets." Inko weighed her options in the event that this was true she and her son would be on the streets and they would have to fight to survive. At least this way there would be a roof over their heads. Naturally she had to do what was best for her family.

The day they left their home Izuku Midoriya learned two very important lessons about the world. One the world is not fair to anyone, and two that not all people are born equal.
