Chapter Text
Fourteen-year-old Midoriya Izumi growled to herself as she was tired of letting herself get beaten up. She had just gotten beaten up and frankly, she was getting fucking tired of it. Just because I'm quirkless, I'm useless? That's a load of bullshit! Izumi laughed to herself as she laid on the ground, letting the pain lessen before she attempted to get up. Bakugou Katsuki, her best friend, ran towards her. "Zuzu!" The explosive boy was worried about the girl as he had been trying to find her hours earlier but now that he had finally managed to find her, he felt so, so fucking guilty. "What the fuck did they do to you?" Katsuki demanded as he lifted Izumi into his arms as he sobbed onto the girl's shirt.
Izumi let him before she let herself up. "Alright, Katsuki, we're going to get down to business." Izumi's voice made Katsuki shudder as he now knew that the girl had lasted beyond her patience and her patience had been tried too many times already.
"What do you want me to do?" Katsuki asked the girl as she brushed the dirt from her uniform off as she stilled herself to stare right into Katsuki's eyes.
"I want you to train me to fight." Katsuki knew not to argue when Izumi was like this and he respected her wish as he lashed out at her and Izumi smirked as she knew that he was going to obey her demand. Izumi waited until Katsuki was close by and she punched him in his face. Katsuki was shocked by the power of the punch as he grunted. He slid back as he held his face.
"What the FUCK, Izumi? That actually hurt like a bitch!" He shouted out to Izumi as the girl smiled at him. She knew that punching the punching bags repeatedly was going to help her out.
"Well, I have been punching the punching bags at the gym." She admitted and Katsuki sighed in relief at the fact that the girl knew how to punch.
"Alright, Zuzu, I'm going to put you on a training plan and don't you dare even think about doing any complaining. You fucking asked and I'm going to deliver." He tells her and the girl smirked at his response.
"Good. I've been wanting to get stronger, in any case." Izumi responded as she paid attention to Katsuki's next words.
"You will do twenty pushups, ten sit ups and run three miles for every four days. I'm telling you right now, take breaks." He spoke as he smiled at Izumi, knowing that the girl could handle the training regime.
Izumi smirked back at her childhood best friend. This is going to be fun. She thought as she cracked her knuckles.
It had been a couple of months and Izumi can feel a fucking difference in everything. It helps that Katsuki that been sparring with her regularly and now that Izumi had force Katsuki to the ground, both teens knew that Izumi was ready to face her bullies. "Hey, Deku, you still going to act tough?" One of her bullies as he glared at the girl as he watched the girl crack her knuckles for the first time that day.
"Yep." She spoke as the teen got mad and he rushed at her. Now that Izumi wasn't afraid and actually paying attention to her bully's posture, she hated that she was even terrified of him in the first place. His posture isn't even good. She thought as her fist connected with his jaw.
She was glad that her mother was willing to back her just in case her temper had finally broke and today was that day as the same bully got up and rushed at her once again.
Izumi socked him in his jaw once again and she was definitely willing to break it for him if he kept on coming at her.
Unfortunately, Izumi's prayer for the teen to stay down was ignored as she had to change tactics. If punching him in his face won't help, then this should keep him down. Izumi thought as her fist caught the teen in his gut. "Stay fucking down." She ordered the boy as she forced him onto the ground with her punch. She was glad that she was finally able to down the teen as she was getting frustrated with having to repeatedly punch the boy over and over again. "Thank goodness." The girl spoke as the teenager laid on the ground, whimpering because he had just gotten beaten up by a quirkless nobody. When Katsuki appeared to see if Izumi had gotten any injuries, he wasn't shocked that the girl had managed to down the guy that she had just fought but he was shocked when he noticed that she had no bruises on her body at all.
"You must have went apeshit on his ass?" He asked and Izumi smirked at him.
"I was tired of being a punching bag for him." She answered.
Of course, the school did try to suspend her but Inko and Mitstuki were on the board's asses about allowing bullying on any child, quirk or no quirk. This made Izumi happy since the two women were always telling her how great she was without a quirk but now, they've just became her two favorite adults in the entire world.
Izumi could say that she was finally happy.
It took her beating the ever living shit out of her bully but no one had dared messed with her ever since.
And, for that, Izumi was grateful for all the things Katsuki had her do as it made her strong in her own right.
