Chapter Text
Quirkless Izuku didn't get into UA. While he was attending a small local school his mother was killed when a kid had attained a quirk. From the time his mother was accidentally killed he started working any job he could get. Most fired him after they could find a person with a quirk that suited the job. By the middle of his first year he was working in a run down skechy bar. His only Co-worker was a man named Kurojiri. But a man named Shigaraki lived in a room upstairs. Izuku didn't mind the excentric people that would often frequent the bar. They all liked him well enough. One day he walks in to find Kurojiri and a man in a pluege doctor mask talking. "Ah Izuku this is Kai Chisaki. He will be frequently be visiting this bar to help with my side job.", Kurojiri never talked about his side job but Izuku didn't mind. Because he was accepted by Kurojiri even though he had no quirk. "N..nice to meet you sir.", Izuku said while shrinking in on himself. Kai chuckled before Tomura came down stairs. "Hey quirkless did I leave my switch down here?" At that Kei looks over at Tomura before quickly looking back at Izuku. "Your quirkless?", Kai asked while now studying Izuku.
"Oh shit he's here?!", Tomura said loudly while pointing at Kai.
Tomura quickly gets between Izuku and Kei. Izuku looks at the ground ashamed. "Y.. yes sir I.. I'm quirkless.", Tears started to form in Izuku's eyes as he said this.
*Kai got up and moved Tomura aside and lifted Izuku's chin with his gloved index finger while Tomura growled out, "Leave him alone he has no part in our line of work."
"And yet he works here. Where the base of your operations are.", Kai said as he tilted Izuku's chin up so he could get a better look at him. Kai looked back at Izuku, It's a pleasure to meet someone like you.", Kai said as the corners of his eyes wrinkled from what is assumed to be him smiling. As he held a hand out to Izuku.
Izuku froze before taking Kai's gloved hand and shaking it. "I.. it's nice to meet you too.", Izuku said with a shy smile. After that Kai left the bar quickly to go make plans that involved a certain small greenet.
"H..he seems nice.", Izuku said as the front door swung closed.
Tomura looked kinda worried as he grabbed Izuku's shoulders with his semi gloved hands. "Stay away from him he is dangerous.", Tomura looked into Izuku's eyes. "Promise me that if you see him again you will run the other way!"
Izuku looked up to Tomura before looking to Kurogiri who had his misty head in his hands looking at the table in worry. "O..okay, but can you tell me why I'm supposed to stay away from him.", Izuku asked while looking back into Tomura's eyes.
Shigaraki sighed before gesturing to sit down. Izuku sat on a bar stool. Before Tomura sat next to him. "That bastard is extremely obsessed with quirkless people.", Tomura started scratching at his neck in distress. "He would probably do anything to get his hands on someone like you."
Izuku looked shocked before asking almost afraid, "Really? But there is nothing special about me. I..I'm just a quirkless loser..", Izuku trailed off as his eyes started to water again.
Kurogiri went behind the counter to clean some dishes. "Chisaki has a unfortunate quirk that is like Tomura's where when he touches things what ever he touches will be destroyed. Plus his line of work has gotten more difficult since quirks started to manifest. So a hatred for quirks grew inside of him.", Kurogiri explained.
Izuku started to frown after he heard that. "Oh.", Was the only thing he could think to say before he started mumbling, "If his quirk causes things to be destroyed he could get a construction job or even a job as a rescue hero. Like Thirteen who's quirk is like a black hole that sucks up destroyed buildings...",
*Wham*
Izuku looks around while holding his head behind him was Dabi who was holding up the rolled up magazine that he used to hit Izuku's head with.
"I was rambling again wasn't I?", Izuku asked while a light blush spread across his face.
"You sure where. Here I was thinking you where getting better at not doing that.", Dabi said while handing the magazine back to a fuming Toga.

"Boss has been very preoccupied lately, and it has something to do with that League of Villains. He has been visiting them so often lately.", Setsuno said irritation in his voice.
"Irinaka why does he keep going over to that bar almost everyday when he knows that he will have to thoroughly clean himself afterwards?", Setsuno continues as he is washing any speck of dirt from the entrance hall.
"Sorry but I'm not allowed to say.", Irinaka said smugly. "I finally got a one up on you all I'm not going to let it go that easily." The small creature laughed.
"Don't make me mad I'll put you in the wash again.", the blond said with a manical laugh.
"You destroyed the washers. Don't you dare do that again.", Kei said irritation seeping from him as he passed them.
"Your only angry because your boyfriend wasn't there when you visited.", Irinaka said under his breath but loud enough for others to hear.
After Chisaki left the room the other two in the room rounded on the small creature. "What do you mean boyfriend? There is no way Kai has a boyfriend."
"Well he's not exactly a boyfriend but ever since he started working at the League of Villains base. Kai has been visiting when ever the guy has a shift. Today the kid wasn't there he called in at the last minute saying he couldn't come in. That's why we are back so early today."
"Why is he so interested in this person, do you know?", Kurono asked worriedly.
"Well the kid's quirkless. Maybe that is the reason. But if he wanted a quirkless he could have just bought one.", Irinaka said while thinking out loud.
"You know how he is though he never wants something that's dirty. Those people who are sold in auctions they are kinda broken, and dirty.", Kurono said matter of factly.
"Do you remember the kid's name Irinaka?", Satsuno asked while taking out his phone. "I'm looking this kid up."
~ time skip~
Name: Izuku Midoriya
Parents: Hisashi and Inko Midoriya
Date of birth: July 15, XXXX
Citizenship: Japanese
Notes: After many tests ran on him he is deemed Quirkless. From the lack of the quirk jean. A defect from the mother's side of the family.
"So this is the kid? He's nothing special. From the year he was born he is still in High school. Wonder if that is why he wasn't able to make it today."
Chapter Text
~~Meanwhile at a undisclosed highschool~~
"Look it's that quirkless boy wonder where he has been. He hasn't been at school for a while.", a girl said while whispering to another as I walked passed them. I lowered my head letting my hair obstruct my vision as I continued my silent walk to class. Just a few tests then I can get to work. Once in the classroom I move up to the teacher's desk. "I'm here for the make up tests. When do we start?"
~~After the test~~
I got the tests back I aced them easily. I shove them into my bag before heading to the bar. Once I reached the bar I was out of breath and panting. "I..I'm here sorry I had to be late today Kurogiri." I look up from the position I was in where my hands where on my knees. "I see he's not here today.", I say while catching my breath.
"He was here but noticed you where not here so he left.", Kurogiri said. He seems amused with bar patron's actions.
"D..don't say things like that!", I said I can feel my face heating up. I must be blushing. "No one would want anything to do with a weak quirkless nobody.", I lowered my head in shame. I quickly made my way into the bathroom before changing into my uniform. It looks exactly like Kurogiri's uniform but I wear a black half apron that I tie around my waist. My tie is red instead of striped like how his is. Also I wear my red shoes the ones my mother had gotten me. I move behind the bar and let Kurogiri tie my tye. "Thanks for helping with my tie I have been practicing but they still end up short and puffy.", I say while looking down at the evil tie. I then pin back the side of my hair with Bobby pins. "Okay I'm ready for work. I'll stay late today to make up for the time I had to miss earlier.", I smile brightly up to Kurogiri.
"No need for that. We are actually closing early today.", Kurogiri informed me as he was shining the cups.
I start sweeping the floor. There is always a lot of dust on the floor. I look up at the ceiling to see if the dust is coming from up there but I know it's not. Before the first day that Kei came here we cleaned the whole building extremely throughly. After my mom passed I took up cleaning as a hobby. Cleaning makes me feel closer to my mom. When she would get worried or stressed she would clean.
*smack*
I look around and find Shigiraki with a smirk on his face. "You where mumbling again.", he said while looking around now bored with me.
"You didn't have to hit him.", Kurogiri said.
"Besides he already cleaned up the floor. Aside from that he should have started cleaning from top and worked his way down. Any idiot knows that.", Shigiraki said irritated with me and my mumbling.
"Shut up already you are giving me a headache.", Dabi said. I looked around and found him at a corner booth with his head on the table top. I didn't even realize that either of them came in. Now that I looked around the rest of the regulars are here too.
"Sorry I didn't realize I was taking so long with just sweeping. Oh! I just remembered I had something I wanted to show you Kurogiri. You helped me study for the test.", I go and pull the paper with my grades out of my bag before giving it to Kurogiri. "Thank you I aced it easily.", I smile brightly up at him.
"You could have done that on your own Midoriya. You already knew it all." Kurogiri starts to take the Bobby pins out of my hair before petting my head while saying, "Now it's time for you to go home, I will close up today."
"But I just got here.", I look at the clock and notice that I've actually been sweeping the floor for quiet a while.
Chapter Text
POV Izuku POV
I start my walk home from the bar but I have this odd feeling it's like someone is watching me. So I start walking faster while looking around.
POV Hari Kurono (chronostasis) POV
Since looking up that boy I have been curious. Kai had mentioned seeing something that intrested him. But I would have never thought it would have been a person. Maybe it's just Mimic's imagination that Kai is interested in this boy. I checked his house it is very clean. But what worries me is the hero memorabilia. I've also started keeping tabs on him or as Mimic calls it Stalking. It seems the boy is getting more cautious. He has started looking around at his surroundings as he is walking. I wonder if something tipped him off about me or could he have lost something? Maybe I should start listening to the news for around here. There could be small time crimes happening around here. I highly doubt it though. There is a hero agency near here after all. I keep following from a distance and by the time he arrives home he seemed to have calmed down some. He goes up to his apartment and enters after taking off his shoes and turning on the light. I make my way to the top of the building across the alley from his apartment window. By the time I can see straight into his apartment he is making dinner. It seems that no one lives with him. Which is good because if he just disappears there are less people looking for him, and less likely for someone to say he is missing. While I can't tell what he is cooking it looks elaborate to a certain extent. He is wearing a apron while he cooks. He kinda lightly sways while cooking maybe he is listening to music? Wonder what he is listening to. When he finishes cooking he eats alone and then cleans the dishes. After that I assume he takes a shower because when he comes back into view his hair is no longer fluffy and he is wearing different clothes. He sits on the couch and does some paper work or maybe school work. Then he goes to bed. His morning is rather plain. He doesn't eat breakfast unless it's a piece of toast or something small. Then it's to that bar. I can't see through the windows so I have no idea what he does there but sometimes he comes out with trash or when he sweeps the side walk. Maybe he's the janitor or something like that. The bar barely gets any people except from the one's who are from the League of Villains. I keep this up for a few days. One day he walks through his apartment without a shirt on and I see that his back is covered in burn scars. Probably from someone's quirk. Kai will probably not like that he is covered in scars but he will fix it if he wants to.
If I want to know what the kid's job is at the bar then I will have to go inside. Kai will be going out of town for business with a main branch family. So I will go to the bar then if he doesn't have me tag along with him. I guess I will have to have someone else watch Eri for an hour or two. Rappa is a good candidate. He likes her and they do have tea time together at times when they are both free then I can have Tengai watch over the security cameras.
~~Time skip~~
Every thing is in place they know to not take their eyes off of Eri. Kai is gone for the day.
I enter the shabby rundown bar. Upon entering the building everyone turned to see who came through the door. I could name everyone there easily as I have seen them before during a few meetings between Boss and the League of Villains. But they haven't seen me out of my uniform Kai has me wear. I'm wearing dark grey dress pants and a purple button down shirt with a white surgical mask.
"Welcome take a seat any where and I'll be right with you.", the quirkless boy said as he stood up and turned from where he was sitting at the bar. Looks like he's doing homework.
I nod to them before taking a seat at a booth. Izuku comes up to me after shutting his notebook. "What would you like sir?", Izuku asked with a bright smile.
"I would like Sake with two cups.", I said not missing a beat.
He walks over to behind the bar and gets the sake cups as Kurogiri fills the sake flask. Izuku then gathers them up on a small tray before bringing them over to my table. He sets every thing out very neatly and almost traditionally. Before pouring sake into the two cups. I note that even the way he pours the Sake is traditional and polite. The boss will be pleased with that."Is there anything else you would like sir?", he asks with a cock of his head.
I gester to the seat across from me and the extra Sake cup. "Drink with me?", I ask while removing my surgical mask.
He waves his hands in a dismissive manner while a light blush spreads across his freckled cheeks. "I'm sorry sir but I'm not old enough to drink yet."
Hm... interesting so he is under twenty years old. Like what it said in the file he is still in high school. Kai isn't that much older than him then. His looks are deceiving then because he looks 13 or 14 years old.
"Here Izuku.", Kurogiri said while setting a cup of coffee in front of Izuku. "Take a break. You have been studying for an hour straight."
Izuku nodded "Yes sir." He then smiled up at the villain. "Thanks I kinda needed a break. Oh!", he turns to me while smiling so big his eyes are closed. "Thank you too sir!"
He is so innocent. He doesn't know anything about me or why I wanted him to drink with me. I shake my head while smiling. "It's not a problem at all. Plus it's boring to drink all alone."
"Y..yeah I guess I know what you mean.", Izuku said. He started to blow gently over the coffee. It's light in color so Kurogiri must have put sugar, and milk in it already. Kurogiri seems more like a doting mother like this then in the meetings where he acts like Shigaraki's guard dog. But if I made a move against this boy there is no doubt that he would snap straight back to being that guard dog.
"So... huh, I never got your name.", I said acting as if I didn't already know it.
"O..oh! Sorry m..my name is Izuku Midoriya.", he said while blushing lightly while looking embarrassed.
"Well Izuku I'm Nisemono. (Its a fake name. Means fake name according to Google translate) Nice to meet you.", I said with a smile not really wanting him to know my real name so I gave him a fake name.
"Nice to meet you too.", Izuku said before sipping his coffee.
"So Izuku what is your favorite subject in school.", I asked trying to make small talk. He seemed to pirk up a little whether from the coffee or the topic I don't know.
"My favorite subject is Quirk studies!", he said while sitting up a bit straighter. His eyes where less focused on me and more focused in the distance. Something that only he could see as he rambled on about quirks. I was listening while trying my best to look intrested.
But then something happened as he was talking about a quirk that I vaguely remember hearing about some where. Something to do with explosions. His eyes lowered to the now lukewarm coffee. He slouched a bit more then he was earlier. As if the weight of the world was put onto his skinny shoulders. That's when I hear it. "Maybe I'm so intrested with quirks because I don't have one of my own.", his eyes dark as if remembering something terrible while his voice was soft and shaky. He smiled up at me eyes closed but I still had still seen the tears that welled up in his eyes. He then stood up before bowing. "Th..thank you for talking to someone like me. I should get back to studying and stop bothering you.", with those words I realized what went through his mind. In his mind quirkless people are not in the same category as people who have quirks.
As he scurried back to the counter with his cup of coffee in his shaking hands I thought about something Kai had told me when I first learned about his dreams for the future. "I want to revert humanity back to there more innocent state. A state with out quirks.", Kai had said full of determination. I confess that I didn't always understand his reasons. But if every quirkless would act like this boy. Then I fully understand now. But that is very unlikely.
After a half hour I decided that I had stayed long enough. But on my way out I caught a glimpse of a heart warming sight between the quirkless Izuku and Kurogiri. Kurogiri had stopped what he was doing and was helping the boy with a problem that he was having trouble with in his homework.
With that I was off back to the main estate where Eri and the others where no doubt waiting for my return.
Chapter Text
~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 5~~~~~~~~~~~~~
POV Hari Kurono (Chronostasis) POV
Once I returned to the estate I was expecting to see a tired out Rappa and Eri. But instead I come home to Boss sitting in the entrance hall waiting on me to return. Sitting there like a disappointed parent of a teen who stayed out past curfew.
"Where were you?", he asked in a stern disappointed and tired tone.
"I was checking on the person who works at the League of Villains' bar.", I said while taking off my shoes, surgical mask, and the gloves I had been wearing. Before standing up straight to look at him.
He by this time had stood up and was turning around. "Follow me.", he said before leading me to the library and study.
After stepping through the door he told me to close it so I did as he said. Then he gestured to a couch across from the one he sat on. His hands clasped together while his arms where resting on his legs. While he was looking straight at me. He sits like this when irritated yet slightly intrested.
"Please continue.", he said his voice slightly revealing what he was feeling. Which was revealing that he was interested and still irritated with me.
"Well the boy's name is Izuku Midoriya. He is in high school. His favorite subject is Quirk studies. He lives alone. He can cook. His apartment is very clean. Cleaning seems to be something of a hobby to him. His room has hero memorabilia in it. He has quiet a few composition notebooks filled with hero and villain analysis. He doesn't do much other then go to school and work at that bar. He isn't in the League of Villains. He watches neighbors kids when they need him to. Kurogiri treats him almost as a son. But they are not related. The rest of the League treat him something like a pet without his knowledge. But they all seem to look out for him even going out of their way to do so. His parents are both dead his mother worked her self into a early grave while his father was in a car accident that killed him. He knows some first aid. Also he is quirkless. Proven by many different tests that the doctors had ran on him when he was 3 to 6 years old. As for physical things he has burn Mark's covering his back and shoulders, he also has freckles on his cheeks, his hair is black that fades to green naturally, and his eyes are also green. He mumbles, rambles and stutters. He seems to believe that quirkless people are bellow people who have quirks. He also seems to be rather smart. 2nd in his class in almost all subjects aside from quirk studies, and history which he is first in. Also he tried to get into UA hero course but failed the physical exam while he aced the written exam. While UA usually offers those who don't pass the physical exam a place in their general education course, he wasn't offered that for some reason. ", I stopped and Kai just sat there thinking before leaning back and looking at the ceiling. Kai was looking off into space this expression he has I've never seen it before so I don't know what it could mean.
"Your dismissed for today.", Kai said before moving over to his desk.
I leave the room to find Rappa, Irrinaka, and Setsuno were loitering around outside trying to act as if they where not eavesdropping.
"So what is the boy like?", Rappa asked obnoxiously.
"I know you all heard everything.", I said irritated with their childish actions.
"Well tell us then what wa the reaction of the boss?", Setsuno said not even going to try to refute my claim.
"I'm not certain.", I said while clenching my fists and looking down. A feeling of failure filling me with these cold useless feelings that I'm not used to. This feeling I don't like it and never want to feel it again. I was assigned to Kai by the previous boss. I grew up with him. I know everything there is about him. Well apparently everything but what that expression means.
Setsuno came over to me and patted my back in a sign of understanding and sympathy. I don't like having others worry about me especially the people who I'm supposed to be in charge of. With that I leave and go to my room. Maybe it's the alcohol or the fact that I'm tired. That I'm not up to par with how useful I usually am.
Once in my room I change in to plain silk black pajamas that was a gift from Kai. I then set out the futon make my bed and lay down. But as my head touches my pillow I have a uneasy feeling in my gut. The feeling I had the first time I realized what Kai had done to Eri. It's the same feeling that I got when the doctors declared that they had no clue what was wrong with the previous Boss. This feeling I get when I know Kai is going to do or all ready did something outrageous.
Meanwhile~
Kai smiled learning more about the quirkless boy just made him more intriguing. He could feel a sensation building inside of his chest that he hasn't felt in a long time. Excitement that could be the only word to describe this feeling. He opened up his phone and started look at the picture he took of Izuku in secret.
Chapter Text
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 6~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Izuku woke up early and started to get ready for work he took a shower brushed his teeth and changed into his uniform before heading out the door. He took a deep breath before starting his walk to work.
POV Izuku POV
As I begin my walk to work I start to smile the feeling from last night of someone watching me is gone making me sigh in relief. I hope I never have that feeling again it was kinda scary. But looking back on it now it was probably nothing to worry about which is embarrassing. I'll tell Kurogiri about it anyway just in case, since no one checks in on me other then him. Kacchan's mom is to check in on me every weekend, but she has gotten a job recently. I'm happy for her but it's lonely with no one else at home. Even if the visits where short lived they where nice while they lasted. Before I knew it I was arriving at the bar.
As I walk inside the bar I smile over at Kurogiri. "Good morning Kurogiri! I arrived early today sorry about arriving late yesterday.", I say while smiling embarrassedly.
His eyes crinkled up showing he was smiling. Most people don't think he can show emotions but if you look at his eyes they show all of his emotions. They crinkle up at the corners when he smiles, his eyes will become more narrow when analyzing and they will become brighter and will flair up when angry.
Kurogiri is starting to look worried... oh crap I was staring at him.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to stare. I was just thinking that I don't see what they mean by it's hard to read your expressions.", I say to him while I feel my cheeks start to heat up.
Kurogiri starts to chuckle. "Was there anything else on your mind Izuku?", he asks while still smiling.
"Oh yeah there was. You have told me in the past to tell you if I feel there is anything wrong on my way from or to work. Well yesterday I felt as if there was someone watching me. But I must just be paranoid because who would want anything to do with someone like me.", I say the last bit while chuckling and rubbing the back of my head.
He motioned me closer to him to fix my tie. So I step over to him. He flips up my collar and adjusts my tie before tying it neatly before fixing my collar. "You shouldn't say such things about yourself. If you would like I can send someone with you as you return home.", Kurogiri said as his eyes flaired up with light before dulling to a slightly darker shade of yellow then usual. He must be worried about me.
"I bet it was just a fluke. When I looked around there was no one around so it might have just been me. So there is no need to worry.", I say while trying to reassure him that I'm fine. "Any way I should probably get started cleaning up.", I say while looking around at all the dust. "I swear where does it all come from? Maybe one of our patrons has a dust creation quirk or something.", I say while chuckling.
I start to clean the tops of the tables and counters before cleaning the chairs off quickly incase any one comes in early today. After that I start to sweep the floor. Once I'm all done with that I go upstairs to collect garbage from Shigiraki's floor before collecting the trash on the main floor and from the bathrooms after that I go out the back door with the two big bags of trash before starting to head over to the dumpster. On my way over to the dumpster my head starts to feel all tingly and funny while my feet start to not listen to me. It's as if they are moving in slow motion while my brain is running at full speed. I drop the bags as I stumble my way over to the dumpster I try to hold my wobbly body up against the dumpster as I wait for this feeling to fade. My body releases a hickup while I feel my face start to get warm. "I guess I must be blushing... but *hic* why?"
"Hey what are you doing back here?!", a voice yells I don't know the voice but they sound stern. I then hear foot steps behind me running away. Was there someone there?
"Hey kid what are you doing back here? Did you know that guy that was behind you?", the stern male voice asks he sounds kinda tired.
"There was *hic* someone there?", I ask while I try to get my head to focus. When I think my head has focused enough I turn around which wasn't a good idea because my head swims with nausea.
"Kid have you been drinking?", the black haired male asks.
"No *hic* but I was going to have a cup of coffee at break."
He sighed "Do you live around here or have a friend close by?"
"I work at the bar.", I say trying to focus on the adult's face. "Have I seen you before? You look familiar.", I say before he looks away to see if he could find the back door. Lucky for him it's the only door that is open.
"I'll take you inside they will probably have a place you can rest.", he says before moving my arm around his shoulder. He hold the wrist of the arm that is around his shoulder before wrapping his other arm around my waist before guiding me over to the back door. He sets me down in the door way before knocking on the wall. "Hello is this the bar?", he yells into the door.
After a few moments Kurogiri comes over thru a door. "Yes is there something the... Oh It's Eraserhead isn't?", Kurogiri asked.
He looks suprised and a little suspicious at Kurogiri knowing his name.... "Wait you work at UA right?!", I asks louder then I mean too. "You teach class 1-A Kacchan's in your class. I hope he is making friends. *hic* "Sorry for his language.", I say while looking away.
Kurogiri starts to pet my head which I lean into. "Isn't Bakugo the one that would bully you Izuku?", he asks worriedly.
I nod and hum, "He is not good at emotions.", I say trying to defend him.
"He told you to kill yourself Izuku there is no reason for you to defend him.", Kurogiri said.
Eraserhead clears his throat. "What did you just say?", he said it as if not wanting to have heard what he heard.
"Kacchan told me to jump off the roof and wish for a quirk in my next life last year.", I say as my eyes start to droop. My eye lids starting to feel heavy with sleep. Before I realised it I was asleep.
