Summary
Bakugou and Midoriya were friends as kids. Bakugou was quirkless, and Midoriya wasn't, but that didn't matter to them. Together the two wanted to become heroes. Bakugou wanted to prove himself to a world that said he couldn't, and Midoriya wanted to escape the path to villainy that his dad, All For One, had placed him on.
However nothing stays the same forever. As a twist of events, spurred on by a momentary decision brings the future crashing down, Midoriya's dad is killed and he is brought into the fold of the HPSC where he is raised to be a hero, (where he discovers that heroics isn't all he thought it was).
Midoriya (Now Akatani Mikumo) now works for the commission, while Bakugou is trying to become the hero he needs to be to not only find out what happened to his friend, but to also figure out how to save him. Yet the shadows of the past continue to haunt the present, as the pair of old friends have to rediscover their friendship and learn together how to fight to save the future.
