    Summary

    Rain traced slow, cold lines down Izuku’s cheeks as he stood frozen, staring up at the gray sky. He didn’t know how long he’d been standing there—minutes? Hours? Time felt meaningless now.

    His gaze dropped, and the breath caught in his throat.

    His mother’s body lay crumpled in the alley, blood pooling beneath her, soaking into the cracked pavement. The knife was still lodged in her chest.

    A choked whisper slipped from his lips.
    “Stupid heroes… they never help when it matters.”

    “I agree,” came a deep voice behind him.

    Izuku turned sharply. A tall man stood in the shadows, a black mask covering most of his face.

    “Who… who are you?” Izuku asked, voice small.

    The man stepped forward. “I’ll tell you—if you come with me. I can help you become the strongest hero this world has ever seen.”

    Izuku stared at him. The strongest hero. One who could protect people. One who wouldn’t let something like this happen again. He looked back at his mother one last time, then back at the man.
