Chapter Text
"Izuku! Run!" His father shouted.
In their apartment a villain was attacking them. Two different coloured lightning, green and yellow, was running around rampant and tearing their home apart. His mother and father were caught in the middle of it.
Their son on the other hand was still in shock what was going on, his first though was to call a hero and went over to the phone, only to find it broken.
"Run Izuku! Run!" His mother cried while hugging her husband, they couldn't get out of the circle of lightning.
Then Izuku's eye caught something, a man in a black suit and yellow eyes, he only saw him for a moment before it disappeared. Before he could react he found himself pulled by something, fearfully he closed his eyes. When he felt he was dropped he slowly opened them, surprised to find he was near his school, he spun around and ran back home as fast as possible. His parents are back there, someone would have noticed the ruckus and called the police, a hero would show up, they would be alright.
When he arrived home after a long run, his heart sore at the sight of police and a hero at the ground floor. They were safe, the police and heroes made it in time, his parents are alright and the villain that attacked them was caught.
"Mom! Dad!" He cried, surprising the officers and hero.
One of the police, wearing a trench coat, stopped him from running.
"Kid, slow down!"
"My mom and dad!" he yells as he struggles against the grip, "They're inside!"
The officer was surprised and he accidentally release his grip, letting him run back to his apartment.
Then he saw it.
Two body bags.
And he blacked out.
As Izuku was carried away a figure watches from the darkness and from a location out of sight, a white lightning bolt was placed on the centre of his chest and the mask covered every detail of his face, making him look like some demon out of hell.
What he did here today was not out of malice, jealousy or any other selfish purpose. It was for the greater good even if Izuku Midoriya would never agree and forever hate him. His heart felt a pang of regret but it was quickly crushed. Now was not the time for emotions, this was barely the first part of his plan.
With that he disappears, leaving behind a trail of golden yellow lightning.
-6 years later-
"Sir, he's here again." A cat-head police officer informs.
Naomasa rubs the bridge of his nose, he was used to it but still found their weekly meetings both annoying and depressing. It's been going on for over a year now, he had to stop this.
Izuku brushes past police officers and greets them, he then pulled pile of paper and sat on a chair in front of Naomasa.
"Hi detective, so I think I found a few more suspects with electric Quirks. You see this one-"
"Stop." Naomasa raised his hand, this thing has gone on far enough.
Izuku looked surprise before continuing, "Oh, are you busy right now? I mean, obviously, you're a cop. You have cases and paperwork to do. I can come back later, I'll just leave these here for you to-"
"No, just stop." Naomasa said bluntly, "You've been coming here for over a year now, you've gave us suspects, criminals or former criminals with electricity Quirks, but we've question all of them and none of them did it. This keeps up and you'll have a list of every villain with an electric Quirk!"
He sighs and looks at Izuku in the eye, "I know your parents died, you want to find the one who did this but we just can't. Your 'man in black' doesn't match any villains in our database, Quirk and appearance-wise. It's time to-"
"Let it go?" Izuku finishes quietly and bitterly, "Stop looking for the man who killed my parents and got off scot-free?"
Naomasa shook his head, "To leave this to us. Mitsuki called and says you've been skipping classes and getting late to school. you have a whole live ahead of you. I promise you that no matter how long this takes I will find your parents killer, and when I do I will rain hell on him."
Ever since became 14, Izuku always went to the police station to get news or to give suggestions on the investigation, a few months ago he had gave information on how to find a high-level villain who he thought was the 'man in black', but after capture and interrogation they found he wasn't the culprit. Poor kid almost had a breakdown for being so close.
"Your parents wouldn't have wanted you to be like this. They would've wanted you to move on."
Izuku was silent as Naomasa handed back the pile of paper.
"You'll be late to school, I'm sure you haven't had breakfast so grab a bagel on the way out or something." Naomasa says.
-Later-
Izuku had begrudgingly grabbed the bagel on the way out. 'Move on'? How could he do that knowing his parents killer was out there, probably laughing about how he wasn't caught yet. He grabbed the train and after a few minutes made it to school, just barely on time. He sat behind his foster-brother, Katsuki Bakugou, who sent him a glare in greeting.
Their teacher suddenly slam a pile of paper on his desk, surprising all of the students.
"You all will be graduating this year aren't you?" He asks rhetorically, "I was going to hand out forms for all of you to fill in but, what the heck, you're all going to be heroes aren't you?"
Everyone started cheering and showing-off their Quirks, except for Izuku who was more than content with looking through his notes. He stops at one particular page and glares at the drawing.
A man in a black suit covered with lightning.
Underneath the drawing was a list of what little he knew about the murderer.
Age:???
Quirk:
Lightning Manipulation
No scorch marks, cause of death were heart torn to shreds.
Lightning Transformation
Same with above
Super Speed???
Why lightning trail? Excess energy? Static?
Hearts were torn to shreds without breaking skin? Phasing? Telekinesis?
- Has another Quirk?
The last one was circled numerous times because it was the most logical explanation. Ever since he made the theory he had been researching as much as he can on people with more than one Quirk. However he couldn't find anyone with dual Quirks before. The closest was the son of Endeavour, but for some reason a lot of things regarding the Number 2 Hero's personal life were redacted.
"Bakugou, you wanna get into U.A right?"
He snap out of his thoughts in time to hear Bakugou brag.
"Isn't that the school with the best hero course in the country?" A student exclaims.
"I heard they barely accept anyone. The cut-off grade's 71% or something."
Bakugou laughs at that, "I aced the mocks you know," he suddenly leaps on top of his desk, "With my Quirk the Entrance Exam will be shooting fish-in-a-barrel! I'll surpass All Might as the Number 1 Hero! Not to mention I'll be one of the richest people in Japan!"
Their teacher looks through his files again, "Well, looks like you'll be seeing Midoriya there. He's applying as well."
You could hear a pin drop.
Before Izuku could defend himself, an explosion knocks him into the back of the room.
"Kachaan! Wait, calm down!" Izuku told the approaching blonde. Bakugou instead opted to grab Izuku's collar and pin him to the wall.
"You shithead! You think you can rub shoulders with me?!" He growls, "Just because you help catch a villain doesn't mean shit! Anyone could have done what you did!"
Izuku gulped, "I'm not going for the Hero course, you know that! I'm not competition!"
"Maybe, but I'm not letting someone like you be in the same school as me!" Bakugou yells as he sets off an explosion on his other palm. "You better make sure your orphan ass stay the fuck out of U.A, you understand me Deku?!"
Behind them, a new student leans and whispers to another student.
"Jeez, I've been here for a week now but isn't he going too far? Aren't they foster-siblings or something?"
Bakugou eventually had to leave him alone as the bell rang. After getting another desk he sat down for Maths class.
-Flashback-
"No fucking way." A young Katuski Bakugou said which gets him a swat to the head.
"Shut up brat, Izu's parents just died! You can at least try treat him nicely!" Mitsuki says angrily.
Izuku was sitting in the living room couch with Mausaru, who was attempting to console him.
"I'm not sharing a room with useless Deku!"
He receives another hit to the head, "Enough with calling him useless!"
She then took a deep breath to calm down, god how did her kid became like this?
"Look, Izuku's going to live with us from now on. He'll be your foster-brother which means he's going to be like family." She says calmly.
Katsuki looked horrified at that, then angry, he turns and runs to his room locking the door behind him before yelling, "I'm not going to be related to that useless shit!"
-Present-
After Maths came Chemistry, his favorite lesson. Nobody wanted to partner with him for the experiment so the teacher placed him in a random group, said group expected him to do all the work which he did not mind. He loved mixing chemicals in a lab, it made him feel at peace.
After the lesson was over he was tasked with cleaning up everyone's equipment. He puts back the beakers of chemicals in their correct place and the apparatus.
Then he heard thunder cracking, he looks to the nearest window to see a storm happening outside.
"That's weird." He mutters, and he decided to hurry up for the next lesson.
But he never made it for his next lesson or the ones in the next few weeks, it was then he learned that most heroes are born, they can be made.
Sometimes in a flash.
