DISCLAIMER: I do not own Boku no Hero Acadamia, nor any other anime/other that may or may not be mentioned in this story.

"*sob*"

People are born unequal.

"T-That's mean, Kachaan!"

We learned that early on.

"Oi, Deku…"

Everyone learned that early on.

"… you playin' at being a 'Hero'…?"

Some are born stronger than others, with power to fight against everything.

"…When your THIS WEAK!?"

Some aren't.

BOOOM!

".. *hiccup*.."

Yet even then. EVEN then, strength is not reliant on they're physical prowess, nor in their powers.

"*huff*…*huff…"

No, strength comes from an indomitable will.

A green light shone throughout the park, causing a young boy with wild blonde hair, and a set of intimidating red eyes to glace back, his grin falling off his face, replaced with a scowl.

"*huff… *huff*… Your alright now. Why?"

Crouched down in front of the bullied kid, with clothes singed and cut. A bruise sat on his face, slowly fading away, washed away by the gentle green light. Hands outstretched to the kid, glowing green with waves of light coming off his hand.

"B-Because, I am here!"

The bullied kid looked up, tears in his eyes even as his own bruises healed, soothed by the light. Because in front of him, with a shaky grin stretched across his face, a mop of dark green hair, with matching green eyes, squinted together, and freckles doting the youths face, was his defender. Doing the worst All Might impression he has ever seen.

A giggle escaped the kid's face, even as the tears remained in his eyes.

"Tch!"

A scoff escaped the blonde kids lips, causing his minions to glance over as well.

"Oi, oi, oi. Looks like little Deku is as-"

The crack of a miniature explosion caught the long-fingered kid's attention, interrupting his rant, as he looked over to the source. Only to meet menacing red eyes.

"Shut up."

"…"

Swallowing his words, Long-Finger gave a shaky nod.

With one more glace towards "Deku's" direction, noticing the green-haired child standing protectively in front of the other, shaking, but a determined glint in his forest green eyes, he turned around and walked off.

Yet only the green-haired kid noticed the blonde's clenched fists.

'Kaachan'

With the lackey's following the leader, "Deku" let out the breath he was holding. With them gone, he turned-

"Are you ok-"

-only to be met with empty air. Despite this, and the bitter sigh that escaped his lips, a small smile graced his lips.

Yes, not everyone was born equal. Some aren't as physically capable as others. Some powers, or quirks, are weak. Worse yet, some are born without a quirk.

Picking up his bag from the ground and dusting off the dust and singe marks, he turned towards the sun.

Yet even among the "weak", the oppressed, and the beaten, strength can be found. With kindness. With fortitude, and a indomitable will. And most of all-

"…Guess I'll head home."

the desire to help, to save, and the spirit of self-sacrifice. With just these, even the "weak" can be strong, can grow.

Eyes gleaming in the sun, the boy, Izuku Midoriya, the not so "useless" hero strode forward, mind at peace, with a slight smile on his face as he faced the coming days.

Through hell and back.

HELLO, everyone! Author here, otherwise known as ScarletDawnSO, Scarlet Dawn, or just Dawn. Anyway, this is my first fan fiction, and the first time I'm writing anything except an essay (high-school doesn't count, since most of it was doo-doo). I got the idea for this fic when reading Murgen Arashi's fic called Successor. I'm not terribly far in it, maybe only a chap and a half, but it did cause an interesting idea to pop into my head, one that got me out of my writing funk, where I lost all passion for writing, basically since college started. Depressing, right?

Anyway, like a lot of fan fics, this idea came as a 'what if?' As in, what if Izuku had a quirk? Crazy, right? JK. Anyway, I thought, what if Izuku had a quirk that heals people and himself at the cost of something like stamina, or maybe an internal energy of sort. As of now, I'm leaning towards stamina, like Recovery Girl's quirk, except instead of it being the patient's stamina, and instead of needing to kiss someone, he can project it, and use it on himself. I wont spoil too much, but I will say that it is a combination of his father, OC,'s quirk (specifics being decided now) and his mothers. And before you ask, yes, he will get All for One. I can't wait to think of how his original quirk will work with it. Hehehe!

*Cough*! Anyway, though more will be disclosed later, some ground rules for his quirk:

-Strictly healing, as in accelerating the body's natural healing abilities.

-That means it offers no combat potential, on its own.

-Think Recovery Girl's quirk, or the Mystic Palm Technique from Naruto, except Izuku is not limited to his hands, and he can use it on himself with touching himself (and before those of you, if any, dissect this part, NO, there will NOT be chakra involved. It is Izuku's quirk, not a jutsu.)

-BTW, I'm making this up as I go.

-Umm, I'm brain farting, so if I think of any noteworthy points that should be brought up, then I will mention it in later releases.

-Oh, and any of you bring up some interesting points that are LOGICAL, and don't make Izuku OP, and mesh well with his quirk, leave a review and I will mention if I add it ;P

Next, One for All. Will Izuku get it? Will he not? Find out NEXT TIME! Or maybe the next next time. Or the next next next time. Anyway, read to find out :P

Just a few more things I want to note.

One, this will be a Harem! If you dislike harems, this is your chance to leave! I'm sorry, but I like a lot of the girls in this fic and couldn't chose just one :P. The pairings are undecided for the most part, BUT, I will give you a sneak peek.

Izuku x persons

Cheeky right? In all seriousness, read to find out who! I WILL note, for those who don't like harems just because most are written like a bad pokemon fanfic, trying to catch them all, that the harem will not be instantaneous. I have never written romance, but I love romance. AND, the girls added will be added for a reason. No love at first sight, no mass harem full of 70 girls, and they will not just pander to Izuku. They are strong, independent women that need no man!

Before I move on to the next point, however, I will let you know that the MAX in the harem is 7 girls. I'm currently leaning towards 5 or 4 as of now, with 1 other decided, and another attentively added. For those of you who want to speak out for your fav girl Head To The Reviews! Again, they must be reasonable, I have to like the pairing, as it needs to be something, I can write without feeling forced, and as of now, I want to say that they can't already be pro heroes. So, no Midnight or Mountain Girl. BUT, if you can think of a plausible reason, I should add them, and persuade me, it's not impossible.

Anyway, next thing I wanted to bring up, is that this WILL be and AU. My philosophy is that things already set in motion will stay in motion. Other than that, with each little thing changed in the basics of the story, the rest will progressively derail. Oh, Eri will be in here no matter what. Non-negotiable!

Also, as an AU, the classes MIGHT be different, both for 1-A and 1-B. Maybe even some OCs…(hint hint). If you have ideas, hit me up :P

Now, since the endnote are already longer than the prologue, I will try to wrap it up, so take note of the following points.

AHEM!

-UA is a college

-They will be in dorms

-PLEASE, leave critics. I'm new and green. But be nice :P please

-Brainfart

-Sporadic Updates!

-If there was anything else, I forgot.

If you got this far, congrats! And thanks for giving me your time. *Bows*. Anyway, as a little gift, I hinted at a lot of what ifs in the end notes, fun little things I will add to the story to spice it up. If you find them, and post them in the reviews, I will reveal one person whom'st I plan on adding to the harem. AMAZING, RIGHT!?

Thank you, everyone. I hope to have your support, and that you will like this story. Oh, and you can expect the first chap in a week or two.

Stay safe, stay inside, and stay healthy. DAWN OUT!
