DOGABAH BEACH, 2340

Rejected.

He was rejected.

He was always rejected

His father left him when he was five. He lost all of his friends when he was six, even kacchan his best friend. Even his hero, his childhood idle, All Might rejected him. All because he was quirkless. Just because he did not have a special super power like 80% of the planets population, no he was one of the 20% that didnt, worse he was the only one from his gerneration that he knew of (most others were over SIXTY).

Izuku Midoriya took a deap breath, held it for a few seconds and let it out through his mouth. He already cried over it. Crying would do him no good. Though he would admit to being frustrated...

... and depressed.

He won, he beat that sludge villain that attacked him, having dodged to the side when he saw him. He used the tazer his mother got him for self defence, aiming for the eyes he defeated the sludge villain before All Might had even arrived. Yet when he asked him Izuku was still told the same thing, "I can not say a quirkless can be a hero".

At least All Might had the decency to recommend other proffecions like the police, no one else ever did that (Oh, and signed the All Might section of his heroes annalysis notebook. That was pretty cool).

Even Izuku's mother Inko only ever looked at him with worry like she was afraid he would break if she said anything. He wouldn't, he promised long ago that if no one else believed in him then HE would believe in HIMSELF.

Katsuki Bakugou, Kacchan, started considering Izuku less when he got his quirk and Izuku didn't. He started calling him Deku, which mean usless/worthless. Once izuku tried to stop him from bullying some kid Kacchan turned violent, it wasn't just insults anymore.

Hell he even went so far as to tell Izuku to kill himself mere hours before the sludge villain attacked him. It wasnt always like that, their mothers were best friends so they practically spent the first four years of their lives as brothers. Then the bullying began and it HURT far more than the physical blows did, to have someone that important turn on him.

For gods sake even his teachers didnt think he would amount to much. They even went so far as to actually encourage the bullies. One teacher went so far as to convince Izuku that he isn't even human all because he lacks a quirk. At times Izuku believed him. Everyone had a quirk, had something that was individually theirs, everyone except him.

Though everyone let up a bit when a cop came to the school to get his statment on the sludge villain. Some of the students expressed disbelief that he beat a villain until the teacher, who was allowed to supervise the interaction at Inko Midoriya's request, revealed that the cop, Detective Tsukauchi Naomasa, has a lie detection quirk, and he found no lies.

Izuku shook his head to clear his thoughts as he hauls anouther trash bag. He couldn't think about the people that didn't believe.

It has been a few days and Izuku was currently cleaning dogabah beach both as a civil service and to hopfully build some muscle. It isn't like he never trained, he wants to be a hero after all, it's just that he spent more time on other training. Such as makeshift weapons, some admittedly self taught martial arts, his analysis.

Dogabah beach a place where the ocean currents would wash trash up upon the shore, eventually people started illigally dumping their trash there. Now there is not an inch of coast of the beach that is not coverd in trash, with heaps of trash that towers over most people. However izuku has been coming to clean it for about a month at this point which is where we find ourselves.

Izuku pulled a large tire off the large metal case he had been uncovering for a while now. It was large, easily as big as a stand alone freezer, which is what he thought it was at first. As he looked at it he saw it was a rusted metal and had probably washed ashore given the build up on its outside. It appeared to be sealed and much to heavy to move. If he could empty it he could likely move it. Thankfully the metal was old and liable to give way if he tried to pry the lid of with a crowbar he found on the ground.

'The things other people are willing to throw away', he thought.

He proceeds to jam the crowbar into the seal and starts prying it apart with all his strength. Just as he thinks its not going to to give the lid practily launches off causing Izuku to loose his balance and fall.

"Oww... ok that hurt", he says as he holds his head when he stands up, carfully avoiding a slippery something, then he continues as he looks inside the metal box," What the hell?".

As he looks inside he sees a good number of odd looking bottles with a glow coming from the bright red liquid (Though one was a strange bright purple) and an over sized tape recorder with a large speaker on it. The bottles are carefully arranged and packaged to prevent damage during transport. With the tape recorder are numerous tapes, one for each bottle. Confused and curious Izuku reaches in and hefts up the tape recorder and lookes it over.

He notices it has a tape inside it and after thinking about it for a second, shrugs and clicks the play button. As the tape beguins to play he reaches in and picks up one of the bottles. As he picks it up he notices that each one has a large needle attached to it.

"Hello friend thank you for ordering Fontaine Futuristics revolutinary super powers in a bottle, the wonderful, the amazing, PLASMIDS. You have the honour of being the first and only one to order literally every single super power giving Plasmid and body altering Tonic. All you need to do is inject it into your veins and boom fire at the snap of a finger, telekinisis to pick up things so far away, teleportation instead of walking, mind control that annoying neighbor, hell shoot lightning from your fingerti-".

Izuku paused the tape with wide eyes. "What... the... fuck", okay so this is kind of insane and the stuff is glowing.

He may be frustrated and maybe a tad depressed but he's not just going to inject himself with a strange substance. Izuku starts walking to pace back and forth as he reaches into his pocket for his cellphone now looking at the bottle in his hand, well more of a large syringe really now that he was holding it.

'Yeah this sounds like something the police should be aware-', unfortunatly he slipped in the weird puddle he noticed earlier causing him to fall, as he landed of his back he saw cellphone go flying and then felt pain in his shoulder he looked to see the bottle/syringe/whatever sticking out of his shoulder.

Thats all the further he got before unimaginable pain overtook him, god he couldn't even scream. Izuku thrashed on the ground in agony and panic, panic that only increased when he noticed his finger tips were on fire and the fire was spreading to the rest of his hands. He watched in terror as his flaming hands seemed to flake and turn to ash as the fire spread down his forearm.

Thats when he passed out.

-line-break-

Dagobah

Izuku's eyes were open yet unfocused. He blinked several times yet it did nothing to get rid of the haze.

After a few moments he began to regain some focus and the first thing he noticed was mountains of trash.

The second was the sun, it was ony a little futher than what it was, so likely not out for long.

The third was a pain in his left shoulder. As he looked at his shoulder he startled suddenly hyper aware as the large syringe had fallen out of his shoulder in his thrashing yet the thing was empty.

The young man was looking around in a panic as he realized that he didnt dream what happend, he really did get injected with a mystirious drug. As he looked at his shoulder the panic he felt as his hand caught on fire returned full force.

Izuku tried to take a deap breath but the only thing that he succseded at was hyperventilating. He sat on the ground remembering the agony he was in for several minutes before finaly regaining control of his breath.

'Ok good news my shoulder is in pain but other wise looks fine, it does not look like i have been unconsious for long,' Izuku thought. Seeing his cellphone on the ground he reaches for it and checks the time, learning that he has only been out for about half an hour. looking at the needle he continues with, 'bad news...'

'that happened…'

'...yeah.'

Now that Izuku had gotten ahold of his panic he began to stand up, nearly falling again as he was unsteady on his feet. He noticed that the track suit he is wearing is completly soaked through by what ever it is that he had slipped in, and it stinks badly. "seriously?" he takes a deap breath and releases it in an attempt to calm himself, frustraited he says "whatever". after taking that breath he relizes hes burning this tracksuit.

With that he makes his way over to the box and the tape recorder, 'maybe this can explain. it did say "fire at the snap of a finger" '.

Before he picks up the tape recorder again he snaps his finger only for his left hand to catch fire in a familiar manner. As he sees the fire spreading he beguins to freakout, thrashing his arms about in a desprate atempt to put out the fire.

Its a few moments of failure to put it out that he relizes that it does not burn him. Or hurt at all.

Huh.

'Tapes. Tapes now.' Izuku thinks as he reaches for the tape recorder with shaky breath.

He rewinds it for a few seconds then clicks play,"-oying neighbor, hell shoot lightning from your fingertips. Of course you already know this you bought them after all. at your request we placed a tape with each Plasmid and Tonic to detail and identify them. Just to clarify once more Tonics are passive, increases to strength, speed, intelligence, perception. Plasmids are things such as telekinesis and fire."

'So tonics are enhancement quirks and plasmids are emitters'

"We at Fontaine Futuristics also thank you for being willing to test our brand new Eve Eternal Tonic. Its the purple one. You see in order to power plasmids you need fuel, EVE is that fuel. Problem you get that by injection, via EVE Hypo. Its kind of like refueling a car, you watch that gas meter go down and down and down."

"Not anymore now with the EVE Eternal the 'gas tank' will refuel itself as if by magic. You will need to eat more to supplement your body's ability to produce the EVE, and you can still use it faster than you get it back. But like i said you will literally make the stuff, now the 'gas tank' refills as time goes on. More information will be provided by the tapes each labeled after the Plasmid and Tonic they pertain to."

"Okay so thats helpful" Izuku says as he reaches for the tape packed against where he pulled the -his?- Plasmid from, "Incinerate, well looks like i have a name for it now. at least i could pass this off as my quirk since my father could breath fire."

By this point his left hand is no longer on fire.

-line-break-

Ok so i decided that the year is 2340 for no real reason in this fanfiction, however the BioShock games still happened the same time they did in canon. That box filled with Plasmids, yeah it was lost at sea before the first game even took place, it was carried by the ocean currents until it washed ashore on the beach.

I once read in a fanfiction that a quirk factor is like a cup with a liquid in it. Before quirks nobody had a cup. If your cup is filled you have a quirk, if it isn't then you do not. Well that liquid isn't water its ADAM.

Okay so in this story ADAM is the progenitor of quirks. After Jack from the first game and Elinore from the second game made it to the surface in the good endings of both games others eventually followed. People with ADAM in their veins had kids and the ADAM was slightly mutated with each generation until a wide range of quirks exist today. After a few generations peoples bodies no longer needed Eve Hypo to use their powers for life. Rapture is kind of a state secret as there is no way that the origin of super powers would not be looked into by every government on earth. Of course Izuku doesn't know this for a long while if at all.

That purple Plasmid is one that will allow Izuku to naturally produce EVE. Yeah it doesn't exist in game but I need a way for him to continue to use his powers without running out almost instantly, I also doubt that people would let a kid constantly stab himself with glowing blue syringes. I'm hoping that because Izuku will have a finite pool of EVE to use it will prevent him from being the most op character from a story point of view. I'm going to need that because there is no cap on how many Plasmids and Tonics he can have at a time. I may have also taken a few Vigors from infinite and put them in here (cough ravens cough (SWARM ATTACK: THE BIRDS AND THE BEES)).

By the way the ADAM for the plasmids was fresh, as in straight from the slug, so Izuku will have no memories of rapture. In order to have memory flashbacks one needs to ingest ADAM recycled by a little sister. However ADAM does affect the mind with its addictive properties.

So what do you think? Good/Bad? Its my first fanfiction so please provide constructive feedback.

I don't really know if this will be a one shot or not. I'll try to add another chapter but I get hit with writers block constantly.
