My Hero Academia: The Flash-Part 1
(The First Chapter is going to be a little quick...the ones that follow will not be).
(Also I erased Superman...I just could not get into that one and I did not like it...sorry.)
The Beginning:
For Izuku Midoriya Life in general Sucked for so many reasons. For one he was Quickless, which meant that in a society that worshiped and accepted those with Power generally were the ones that held sway over those that didn't. Like himself. He was a subject of ridicule and abuse and not just from his Classmates and his one time Friend Katsuki Bakugo. But also others that believed that due to him being Quirkless, he was not truly human and in such not really worth anything. His life did not matter so he could be beaten and abused without any repercussions. That was his Life and it Sucked. He had made the mistake of running this time, knowing that if he had just accepted the few insults and minor beating it would be over. But he had run, which would result in a much more severe beating then he would have had before. That had been a mistake, though he already had one beating earlier and did not relish in being the subject of another. The Gym Teacher had beat him two hours ago for not showing the proper respect to him. Izuku knew that was bullshit, Mister Orisakgi just wanted to hit him due to that the elder man had a rotten day and needed to take it out on someone. That someone was always him. It really did not matter to the older Man that he was three times larger then his victim or that his Quirk gave him steel knuckles. All that really concerned Orisakgi is when Izuku bled on his sneakers. Marking them with drops of blood. Which he then punished Izuku more. So when he later was confronted by Bakugo and two others that hung out with his one time friend. He had made the mistake of running. Not wanting to be harmed any more then he already was. Now all three chased him and the two Cronies cackled with glee at the prospect of how much of a beating that Izuku would receive for daring to run away from his betters. For Izuku Midoriya life in general sucked and was hell. What made it worse was no one really cared. Not the Teachers, not the Heroes and not the Police. When he finally took a good look at where he was, Izuku winced. "Where am I?" He asked gasping for breath, slipping through a hole in a fence and heading towards what he could tell was a open Warehouse door. Hoping that once inside he could find a good place to hide.
Inside the dismal Warehouse, Izuku grimaced. The whole building had several hundred Metal Sealed Barrels and all of them had some type of Warning Hazmat Stickers on them. All in all the worst place to hide from someone that had a Nitroglycerin based Quirk. One mistake and it could spell disaster for anyone stupid enough to be anywhere near any of the Barrels. But what choice did he have, if he left Bakugo and his Cronies would make him pay for running. So he carefully slipped his way through the Barrels and hoped that none of them were leaking. The only saving grace was when Bakugo entered, he had common sense not to actually go inside. "I am not going in there Bakugo." One of them said and Bakugo nodded.
"Deku would not be stupid enough to go in here...he must be hiding somewhere nearby...find him...I owe him a serious beat down for...well for being such a stupid jackass!" Bakugo growled as he moved away from the open door. "It is about to rain...so his ass kicking can wait until tomorrow." Inside behind several Barrels marked with big M's, Izuku sighed with relief and decided not to press his luck. Thankfully today was Friday and if necessary he would stay inside his and his Mothers Apartment until he had to leave on Monday for School.
"There has to be another Door." Izuku muttered glancing about for anything that looked like a door that led out of the Building of Death. Seeing an EXIT sign he smiled, believing that perhaps his luck was holding out. Edging past the Barrels, he headed for the door. (Not knowing that the owner of the Warehouse had set the Building to be involved in a natural disaster accident. Up on the roof was a Lightning Rod that had wires running to several of the Barrels of Flammable Materials. The Owner had the idea that during a Thunderstorm the Lightening would hit the Rod and then the whole Warehouse would go up in flames. He then would put in a claim to his Insurance Company and make Millions). Nearing the door, he again sighed with relief and then winced when his bruised right side ribs touched the top of a Barrel. In his mad flight away from Bakugo his Adrenaline blocked out his pain from his earlier beating by Orisakgi and now he was beginning to feel the onset of pain. Opening the door, he groaned. The Door led to another room. This one had several Glass Containers filled with different colored liquids and all of them had Skulls and Crossbones stuck on them. "So much for luck." He muttered and then noticed another door just on the other side of the smaller Room. Shrugging he eased himself towards it. He had heard the distant clash of thunder and knew soon it would probably downpour. He wanted to get home before that happened. In the Middle of the room, he heard an explosion and then everything went white.
Lightening had hit and the surge of Energy flowed down the wire. Sparking off the Flammable Materials that exploded. In the smaller room the explosions basically knocked Izuku down onto the floor. Again Lightening struck the Rod and this time it surged into the small room and the Sealed Chemicals stored there. The Glass Containers shattered splashing all about the room and onto Izuku. The Lightening that pulsed within the room, flowed over him and he burst into flames. In agony he crawled towards the door and again he was struck by Lightening. He screamed and screamed and screamed. Then mercifully he passed out.
Revival:
Awakening hours later among the rubble, Izuku inhaled deeply. Standing up he expected to find himself burned and in agony. Confused he looked at himself, his School Uniform was tattered and burned. But he was fine. Touching his face he sighed with relief. He fully expected to be nothing more then a charred disfigured mess, if he actually woke up after he passed out. Moving out of the rubble, he wobbled slightly a sudden wave of exhaustion hit him hard. Swallowing dryly, he made his way out of the rubble and headed for home. He would seek answers later, right now he just wanted to get home and rest. In route he felt like he was walking thru mud, he could barely lift his feet and it took him a good two hours to reach the nearest Transit Train. Slumping in one of the seats, he could hardly keep his eyes open and he had to force himself to stay awake. When the Train reached his stop, he groaned as he stood and stumbled out of the Transit Car. Sweat poured down his face and he was tempted to just lay down on the sidewalk. But when he finally reached his and his Mother's Apartment Building a new reserve of resolve filled him. His bed beckoned to him and in moments he reached the Apartment. Dropping to his knees he crawled inside and straight to his Bedroom. Thankfully his Mother was not there and he knew she would not be for at least another hour or so. She cleaned other Apartments for some extra money. Crawling into his room, he removed the taters of his School Uniform and dropped them in the trash. Climbing up onto his bed, he collapsed and as soon as his head hit the pillow he was unconscious. When his Mother came home, she found him in his bed asleep so she decided to just let him sleep. But at noon the next day she became concerned and went to wake him. "Izuku...Izuku...wake up." Inko Midoriya said as she shook him and his eyes opened. "You have been asleep for almost 20 hours...are you alright?" She asked and he inhaled a deep breath, then smiled.
"Yes...actually I feel great." Izuku replied getting up and with a deep exhale, he had a sudden urge to go to the Bathroom. Walking towards the door, she chuckled.
"Well lunch is ready...we got all those leftovers to get rid of." Inko told him and went to wait for him at the Table. In the bathroom after taking care of some business that took a lot longer then he expected. Izuku pulled off his T-Shirt and when he looked at himself in the Mirror he gasped. His chest and arms were more muscular then what they were a few days ago. Then he lightly touched where earlier his Ribs were bruised, there was no sign of any bruise and no pain at all. There was no sign of any of the injuries that Orisakgi had inflicted upon him. Glancing down he noticed that his legs were bigger and broader then before.
"What the...?" Izuku was dumbfounded and then he remembered last night when the Chemicals splashed onto him. He began to wonder if perhaps it had done something remarkable to him. Checking himself in the Mirror he smiled, then his stomach rumbled and he quickly pulled on a clear long sleeved T-Shirt. Going out to the Table where four days of Leftovers sat. Taking a large plate full he began to eat, then eat and eat. Soon all the leftovers were gone. Inko stared at him in shock.
"My someone was hungry." Inko commented with a huge smile, pleased that Izuku had a better and healthier appetite then he normally did. He nodded as he finished off the last of the Chicken with Brown Rice. "Oh could you do me a favor today...I need to clean Misses Tushinorgi's Apartment...I also need to mail in the Rent...could you take this down to the Post Office and send it out." She pushed an Envelope towards him and he nodded. He would have to chance it that he would not run into Bakugo. He tried to help his Mother out whenever he could, which meant going grocery Shopping and do other errands when necessary. The Errand might even give him the chance to go back to the Warehouse and try to figure out what happened to him.
"Sure Mom..no problem." Standing Izuku headed back to his room, to take a shower and get dressed. Once under the spray of the Shower, he moved his hands over his now muscular body. It had not been a delusion, he somehow gained muscle mass and in general felt stronger then he did before. "Weird." He whispered with a small smile. No longer looking scrawny as he once did. When he came out of his room, his Mother was gone. So after picking up the Envelope he made his way first to the Post Office. One that was done he decided to walk to the Warehouse. He felt so energized that he felt like he could walk the ten miles easily. Near the end of the Street he heard a voice that he had hoped to avoid.
"DEKU!" Bakugo growled loudly, stomping towards him with his hands sparking small explosions. "Nowhere to run this time...Fat Wing and Fingers are blocking your escape route." His one time friend said gloating as he smirked evilly. Glancing to his left and then his right he saw Bakugo's cronies. Both smiled with sindistic grins. There was only one way for Izuku to escape, back down the street. But there were no Alleys or other streets for at least a half mile. The three would easily catch up to him or Bakugo would unleash a Blast at him to stop him or at the very least slow him down long enough for the three to pound on him. He actually had no choice, so he began to run and the three were in hot pursuit. "NOT THIS TIME WEAKLING! THIS TIME YOU ARE GOING TO REGRET RUNNING FROM WHAT IS COMING TO YOU!" Bakugo said sneering as he was about to unleash a blast and then stumbled to a stop when Izuku blurred away so fast that the other could barely register that it was him. "Whhhhaaaattt the Fuck?" Dropping his hands as he tried to even see where Izuku was. But he was gone.
"UUUHHHMMM...Bakugo...what...that was Deku wasn't it...he just sort of...I am freaking out...did that loser just? Never mind I do not want to know." Yubi said as he walked away, leaving his leader to try to figure out what had happened. One second he was about to blast Izuku and the next the other was just gone. Streaking away in a blur of shapes. Shaking his head, he walked back home. Tomorrow he would confront Izuku again and demand to know how the other had done that. For he knew that Izuku did not have a Quirk, so he suspected it was just some type of trick.
"Gotta Run...Gotta Run Fast...Gotta get away." Izuku muttered as he began to run. Then before he realized what was happening he was moving so fast that the air whizzed by his ears and Cars, Buildings and People were nothing but blurred objects. In seconds he was on the Beach and impossibly streaking on the Water. "I am running on Water." He whispered in shock, turning he headed back towards shore which looked about a mile away. Nearing the Beach he stopped and dropped into about three feet of Water. Not even breathing hard. "What...what the fuck was that?" He said aloud, stepping out of the Water and when he reached the shore he dropped to his knees. Looking down at himself, he saw that his Clothes were shredded. He stood. "Have to try that again." He said then with a jolt, he was running again this time down the running trail next to the Garbage infested beach. He could actually tell what the Blurs were as he ran. He passed billboards, buildings and trees in an instant and within a few moments he was miles away from where he once was. He began to laugh. "Wow...that was awesome." He said and as he began to process the fact that he could run and move at blinding speed, his stomach rumbled.
Making a Friend:
Walking into Burger King Izuku stood in front of the Counter and the Girl behind the Counter looked at him oddly. His Clothes were a complete disaster, but at the moment all he could think about was that he was hungry. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out 1000 Yen. "Uhm..How many Cheeseburgers can this get me...oh and a large Diet Coke?" He asked the pink girl with horns blinked and then quickly typed in the order.
"About 26...do you want 26 Cheeseburgers?" The Girl asked and Izuku smiled.
"Yes please." Izuku handed her the Money and within five minutes the Girl pushed a Tray heaped with 26 Cheeseburgers. She was expecting a group of the boys friends to come in and eat, she was not expecting him to go sit down at one of the tables and basically inhale the Cheeseburgers himself.
When the tattered seeming boy came in Mina Ashido had an urge to call the Manager. But after he ordered and then ate those many Cheeseburgers she was astounded at how someone as ripped as him could pack away that many of them. That and she thought he was kinda cute. She had taken this job so she would have enough Money to buy a really valuable collectible that was for sale on Ebay. Working on weekends and after School for a few hours, she just about had enough to buy it. A limited Edition signed by Sigourney Weaver Alien Queen Replica Fourteen Inch Statue. Walking over to the table she stared down at the Boy and shook her head. "That was a lot of Cheeseburgers." She commented and then smiled. He looked up at her and finally seemed to notice her.
"Yeah...I was really hungry...sorry if I seemed out of it when I came in." Izuku said and the Girl shrugged. She picked up the Tray and dumped the wrappers in the trash, putting the Tray on top of the Garbage Can.
"That's okay...uhm...how did you eat all those?" Mina asked and Izuku shrugged. He actually had no idea, but he suspected it had to do with his new Ability. "I mean the last person to even come close to that was this big...ahem...chested dark haired girl...she ate about 10 of them plus over a half dozen large fries...but she told me she needed limpets to create things. Is that why you needed to eat so many...it is part of your Quirk?" She asked and he inhaled sharply.
"I am Quirkless." Izuku said sadly knowing that now the Pretty Pink Girl would make a hasty retreat. Now that he actually noticed she was extremely pretty, even though she had pink skin and hair with two small horns. But she also had coolest eyes he had ever seen. They black and yellow irises and seemed to sparkle. She did not move, which confused him. "Uhm...I said I am Quirkless...are you going to like...I don't know...stop being nice to me now." He asked and she shook her head.
"Nope...by the way I am Mina Ashido and you are...?" Mina said introducing herself and Izuku smiled broadly.
"Izuku Midoriya...I am a little confused...you know most people when they find out that I am Quirkless...they...they...treat me differently...like I am less then human." Izuku said sadly and Mina giggled.
"I guess People treat me about the same as being Quirkless...I am a Quirk Oddity, Quirk altered Abnormal is the polite term...the impolite one is Freak." Mina told him and Izuku inhaled softly. What she said was true, there were those that treated the ones that believed that those Altered by their Quirks were not truly human just like the ones that were Quirkless. She sat down across from him. "So Izuku Midoriya...tell me about yourself." She said with a small smile. He glanced over at the Counter and she shrugged. "Oh don't fret about that...this was my last day...I only took this job to get enough Money to buy something I wanted off Ebay. Actually about three Months I am going to take the Hero Exam and try to get into the UA." Izuku smiled at her.
"That is what I want to do." Izuku said and she wrinkled her brow slightly. Shaking her head.
"Are you sure that is wise...I mean without a Quirk you don't stand much of a chance...the Practical Test is supposed to be a Killer." Mina said and Izuku just simply smiled. He did not know what his Ultra Speed was yet, but he did know it was not a Quirk. So in essence he was still Quirkless.
"ASHIDO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING...GET BACK TO WORK!" The Manager demanded and Mina took off her hat and tossed it to the Older Man. Then pulled off the Black Shirt and tossed it to him as well. For a brief second Izuku stared at her chest as she pulled the Burger King Shirt over her head. When she had her arms straight up it really highlighted how nice her chest was. Especially since she was wearing a V-Neck T-Shirt that showed an impressive amount of cleavage. As she turned back towards him, he quickly stopped from staring at her Chest and looked directly at her.
"Sorry Tongi...I just quit." Mina said with a huge smile. "Since I no longer work here...do you want...maybe go for a walk?" She asked Izuku, who nodded vigorously. Once outside, she laughed and gestured back inside the Burger King. "Never work at one of these...the pay is alright...but the work really sucks." She told him and then began to walk in no specific direction.
"So what is this Thing you want off Ebay...what is it?" Izuku asked and Mina smiled over at him broadly.
"Only the coolest thing ever...it is a Replica Statue of one of the Greatest Movie Creatures ever made...a genuine Alien Queen signed by Sigourney Weaver." Mina said gleefully and Izuku looked at her confused.
"A what?" Izuku asked and Mina stopped walking and stared over at him appalled.
"An Alien Queen...you know from the Movie Alien or actually it is from one of the Sequels...she is like the most awesome badass monsters out there." Mina told him and he still looked confused. "If we are going to hang out together Izuku...you have to see those movies...hey I got an idear...tomorrow they are playing all of them at the Gallery Movie theater...we could go." That hit Izuku like one of Kacchans Blasts. He stumbled and began to gasp for air.
"Wait...like...like...like a date?" Izuku stammered out and Mina giggled.
"Yeah why not...sure we just met and all...but I am kinda spontaneous...so how about it?" Mina asked and Izuku felt faint. She exhaled softly and stopped smiling. "Oh...is it because of how I look that you don't want to?" She asked him sullenly and Izuku shook his head.
"No not at all...I actually think you are...really cute." Izuku whispered the last two words, but Mina heard him. "I...I never...I have never been on a date before." He confessed and Mina giggled.
"That is nice to know you think I am really cute...by the way I think you are really cute too...as for going on a date...I never have with anyone before either. Soooo how about we try it and if it flops we just be friends?" Mina asked with a huge smile.
"Okay." Izuku replied nervously and with that they continued walking. He felt like he could run around the Planet and with what happened to him, he suspected that he could easily. He still wanted to test what he could do, but he also did not want to tell anyone about it yet. Though if he did tell someone it probably would be Mina. She was just so friendly and nice that he could not help but like her. They continued to talk about each other and Izuku learned that Mina was the youngest and had an older Brother. Her Mother and Father both worked in Advertising and they had just moved back here from the United States about five months ago. She was a bit reluctant to tell him about her Quirk but when she did. He was really impressed. Without even noticing where he was, they had neared a Street in the Suburbs.
"That is my house right over there." Mina said as she stopped walking. "I...I do not think it would be a good idea to subject you to my Parents and Brother yet...I want you to like me and they would ruin that rather quickly." She told him and Izuku could almost relate to that. He did not want her to meet his Mother yet, because she would assume that he and Mina were a couple and then really embarrass him.
"That is okay...so...what time you want to...?" Izuku asked and Mina pulled out her Phone. She checked the times for the Showings.
"The first one starts at 9 AM...so lets meet at the Gallery at 8:30 AM...oh and give me your Number." Mina demanded and he quickly gave it to her. She dialed it and when he checked his, he found an unknown number on his screen. "There we got each others number...so NO standing me up tomorrow or I will hunt you down." She said with a huge mischievous smile. He shook his head.
"Wouldn't dream of it...okay I have no idea what to do now." Izuku said softly and Mina giggled. Then held out her hand, he clasped it and they shook hands.
"See you tomorrow Midoriya...oh I do not like that...too formal...Izuku...no too...I know...Izzy...see you tomorrow Izzy." Mina then jogged walked off towards her house. He stood there for several minutes.
"Izzy?" Izuku whispered not liking the nickname she had just made up for him. With that he turned and headed back home. Turning around the corner, he decided to run and within a minute he was back in front of his Apartment Building.
"Izuku...What happened to your Clothes? There...they are...you did not leave the Apartment wearing those rags did you?" Inko Midoriya his Mother asked and Izuku just did not know what to say. So he went inside, he felt hungry again.
To be continued
