Chapter 1: Origin
Chapter Text
It was a calm sunny day when the young boy was practically bouncing with joy, his fourth birthday was soon, and that only meant his quirk was nearly here, his smile was blinding his poor mother who giggled,
“Who's quirk do you think you will get honey?” She asked, her soft voice like an angels to Izuku’s ears, he hummed in thought, his green curly hair shaking as he does,
“Mamas!” He yells, his voice high pitched and loud, making his mother flinch away, squinting as if that would make him quiet down, it of course, did not.
“Whys that baby? Your fathers quirk is much more powerful” She questions, holding his little hands as his smile drops, moving his glaze to the floor sadly
“I just thought, if i get something with fire, it could hurt mummy…” He winced, as her smile got bigger, her little boy was so thoughtful and cute! She snuggled him tight
“My sweet sweet boy! Don't worry about that, you could never hurt me.” She beamed, he stared up at her before giving the exact same smile back, the woman couldn't have been so wrong.
The young Bakugo and Izuku walked happily, Kacchan had just gotten his quirk and Izuku's should come any day he believes.
“I bet it wont ever be as powerful as mine!” Kacchan says his voice covered in pride, his quirk was definitely great, and Izuku was convinced that simple telekinesis wouldn't surpass it, but the smaller boy was also convinced he could train it, and make it more powerful than any villains, and save people with a smile, just like All Might! The hero he was so obsessed with.
Inko and Izuku were at the Bakugos house, Izuku and Katsuki were playing games and giggling, Kacchan using his quirk whenever he could, making Izuku giggling in awe as it popped in the blonde boys hands, Mitsuki looked over and screamed at the boy to stop it, Kacchan rolled his eyes annoyed, putting a finger to his lips, telling Izuku to be quiet as the boy nodded and giggled, Inko laughed and turned to Mitsuki, sighing as she traced her finger along the table, Mitsuki turned from making dinner to look at her friend
“Whats on your mind Inky?” Mitsuki asked wiping her hands on the hand towel, leaning against the counter, Inko looked up at the woman, shaking her head
“Just a bit worried, Izuku is scared of getting his fathers fire quirk, i just dont want him to be upset if he does” Inko confesses, Mitsuki frowns, walking to the table and sitting down in front of her, holding the smaller woman's hands, stopping them from shaking
“Everything will be okay. Trust me."
It was an average Thrusday night, Inko was prepping dinner, about to turn on the stove, Izuku felt light headed when she turned on the gas, even though electric was more modern, Inko enjoyed the power she had over the gas stove, able to control the flame and heat as she pleased, looking over at Izuku she tilted her head as the boy looked sick, thats when the flame came on, the click triggering as it came out large, she gasped and stood back, about to rush over to her son, but he walked towards it, mesmerized by the fire, she stared in shock before rushing forwards
“Izuku stop!” She screamed, but the flame flew towards him in an uncanny way, like a vacuum sucking up dust, as soon as it went towards the boy he sucked it in like breathing in air, it came naturally to the small boy but his mother watched in fear, not understanding, Hisashis power breathed fire, so what was happening, the boy began to look warmer, his neck, forearms, chest and hair began to go redder, the tips of his hair flew like flames, and his back sprouted flames.
The boy finally started turning but his mother didn't see the boy jump happily over the quirk, instead he started screaming in pain clutching his chest, Inkos heart dropped, she had heard of some quirks causing pain when manifesting but never expected it to happen to her son, she rushed forwards but when holding the boy in a hug, pain surged through her, her chest started burning, his chest was on fire, and it was burning her alive, she let the boy go, the pain was unbearable but he cried out to her, his arms reaching towards her, his eyes begging for her comfort, she cried, tears flushing down harshly as the lump in her throat was cast aside, along with her worry for her own safety, the room started to set aflame, the carpet catching fire as his quirk was still manifesting, the giant wing shaped flames on his back were sparking aggressively, she embraced the screaming boy, holding in her own cries.
“I love you Izuku!” She screamed, as the boy held his mother close, he could feel his mothers heart beating, then fading, his mother, his beautiful kind mother, the one who held him the closest, who warmed him when he ran cold, feed him when his stomach begged for it, and cried with him when he scrapped a knee, she sat lifeless, those eyes that were always filled with so much emotion were now cold and bland, the sparkle within died out, and with it went Izukus innocence.
Heroes came, but none could get close to the crying boy, the neighborhood was evacuated, the Bakugos watched from behind the saftey guards laid out by the police, shocked, the wall had come down showing Izuku screaming as Fire radiated out of him, finally after what seemed like hours for Kacchan, a fire type hero arrived to save his friend, running in and calming the boy down, but when that didn't work he was knocked out quickly and softly, the fire deactivating, but the boys forearm still burnt the hero, which shocked the man, a fire type burnt? His hand was red and blistered.
“Be careful, this kids quirk seems to nullify other fire types, i cant imagine how much pain id be in if i didn't have a fire quirk” He explains, clutching his hand, before looking over at the woman's body, she wasn't burnt to a crisp like she should be, it seems the flames completely dodged her, meaning the boy had complete control over all flames in the area.
Izuku was shoved in cuffs to suppress his quirk for the time being, Mitsuki quickly gave Katsuki to his father and rushed forwards.
“I-Inko! Is Inko alive!?” She asked as the police held her back, the woman's voice cried out for her best friend, her tears became stained in Katsukis mind. But all he could worry about was his best friend who was being treated like a villian right now, Mitsuki’s focus went to the boy
“Izuku! Baby?” She asked trying to reach the boy
“Ma’am please stay away, the boy is dangerous right now, for your own safety keep away.” An officer hissed pushing her back to her family, but she kept crying after the boy.
Izuku was held in a hospital, restrains and covers all over his body, including a fire resistant muzzle on his mouth to prevent him from breathing in any more fire, they found out it was breathing in fire when an officer lit a cigarette, and Izuku subconsciously took it in, he was passed out yet the fire prioritized the small boy then its basic physics, Izukus father Hisashi raced back to Japan, as soon as he was told he took the next flight out, the father was livid to see his son in restraints
“Get those off of him! hes just a boy!” Hasashi hissed, the officers shook their heads
“His quirk is dangerous, and out of control, any fire hes near gets taken, we must keep him here until he can control it. Even then we may not release him, his quirk is too dangerous to be in normal civilization.” Says the head chief, Hasahi clenched his fist in rage, his son, his FOUR year old son was being held captive like a villain.
“I have the same quirk, I breathe fire, yet im not being restrained like som- some Villain!” Hisashi argued, his hands flapping about, the officer looked over at the boy who sat silently, glancing around with his arms restrained to his own body, his heels were covered in metal to stop the flames from pouring out, as well as his chest, forearms and neck, the flames sprouting from his back were tied up, the boy looked scared and lost, Hasashi wanted to hug his son more than anything, with the boys mother, Hasashi's wife gone, the man was all Izuku had, and Midoriya wanted to do right by his son.
“His quirk isnt like yours. A quirk analysts discovered and named his quirk as Furnace Lungs” The uniformed man said, looking through the reports, Hasashi stared. It was obvious the man was confused, the quirk definitely related to Hisashi but it was stronger and more complex then his average fire breathing, but it was no excuse.
“You'll be hearing from my lawyers.” Hisashi spat before slamming the door behind him and storming to the closest law firm.
It was a harsh legal battle, but Hisashi luckily won to keep custody of his son, but only after a year of training under the government to reduce accidents caused by the boys quirk, Hisashi and the Bakugos would visit the boy, but he was put in high protection and again restraints. Katsuki always threw a tantrum, due to the muzzle put on the now five year old, Izuku found it hard to talk, not that he wanted to, but Izuku had a grasp of his quirk and knew how to control it to a safe level, so in three weeks Izuku was allowed to leave and be released into the custody of his father, but that was still three weeks away and Izuku was impatient to get out, the muzzle and restraints put on him left marks that seemed permanent, but the officers promised they would go away with time, but these guys promised a lot to Izuku that they lied about, like how they said it would only be a month, but they kept saying that every month that went past, or that his father would be there three times a week, but every week they would say “not this week hunny” when all the boy wanted was to see his father.
He was finally released and Hisashi hugged him tight, the metal covering all his hot spots were obviously uncomfortable on the small boy, but sadly Hisashi admitted to himself they were necessary, Hisashi took Izuku to get some lunch, the boy wasn't smiling like he used to.
___
Izuku was three years old, Hisashi came back from America to visit for the boys birthday, his smile was brighter than the sun that shined down of Hisashi, his laughter was sweeter than any sound he had ever heard, Hisashi loved his son, he loved the wife that his son took after, and as they all shared dinner together laughing away, the giggles erupting from his baby, he thought he was the luckiest man in the world
—
Now he sits alone on the couch, mourning the death of his beautiful wife and mourns his sons childhood, hearing his sons cries from the boys room Hisashi raced to his side, the tears fall but disintegrate and turn to steam when going down his cheeks, Hisashi sighs sadly before hugging tighter.
“You are safe now, ill never let anybody hurt you again” He hushed, Izuku calmed down looking up at his father.
Kacchan came over the next day and they happily played with hero figures, Izuku was of course All Might, but Katsuki was also All Might, they created a game where there was a fake, and they had to prove who was the real one using strength, Hisashi chuckled at the boys before continuing dinner, Mitsuki helped in the kitchen, watching the boys with a smile, her smile faded quickly, looking at Hisashi.
“How will you find a job here? Will you start looking soon?” She asks, Hisashi sighed, placing the knife down
“We are moving back to America. They have special houses and equipment to help with his quirk” He explained, Mitsuki seemed as though she wanted to argue but didn't bother, just nodding softly.
Hisashi kept his promise, and 8 months later they had their Visas accepted and ready to move, Kacchan begged for them not to leave as Izuku cried out for his friend
“Ill find you Izuku!” Kacchan screamed, his hands reaching towards the flaming boy, Izuku just cried into his hands as his father sadly pushed him forwards onto the plane, Izuku was given a special pod on the plane to refrain from hurting anybody on the plane, his father got in the same pod as him
“I'm sorry Izuku. We can come back when you have a better grasp on your quirk, but none of this is your fault hunny, I chose this for my own accord.” Hisashi reassured, Izuku nodded sadly staring out the window as his home got smaller and smaller, leaving all the memories, and all his friends.
8 years later
Izuku was jumping with joy, tomorrow they were going back to Japan! Back home, Izuku grabbed a lighter, flicking it on, the light caught, but as Izuku breathed the fire went into a sort of gas state, threading its way through his teeth, going into his lungs. shivering at the bad taste, but getting a hold of fire is harder than one may think, and fire caused by a stove gives Izuku bad memories, and its tastes bad, it tastes burnt, which is ironic.
Hisashi gets home and takes off his shoes
“Are you packed Izuku or have you just been watching TV and lazing around” Hisashi groans, seeing the boy chomping down on popcorn with a movie on, he turned of the tv and looked to the side
“Id never result to such idiocy” Izuku whispers, his voice serious, Hisashi rolled his eyes
“Haha smart ass” Hisashi sighs. “Go pack before i pour water on you” the annoyed father threatens, Izuku stands quickly saluting the man
“Yes sir!” He yells before walking to his room slowly, making Hisashis eye twitch.
it had been eight years since they left Japan and luckily the USA has been kind and patient with Izuku and his situation, the school he went to specialized in extreme quirks, after all these years Izukus fire on his back has formed into the shape of wings, his hair is more fire than hair now, and hes finally gotten used to the chest, arm and neck plates hes forced to wear, and hes more than ready to go to UA.
Their flight was long and exhausting, Izuku didn't like flying, as he needed to wear quirk cancelling cuffs, it made him look like a villain, not to mention his hair without fire to hold it up flops down and covers his face, causing him to need to push his hair away every minute, but it also makes him look ten times scarier than usual, people give weird stares as the whole plane ride Izuku seethes in pain, he keeps forgetting to breathe, he needs warmth, hes covered by many blankets but its too cold, he needs fire.
As soon as they land officers take off the cuffs, they gave him some fire to inhale resulting in fire blasting out his back, combing through his hair, and blasting out his heels, Izuku sighs in relief as he quickly grabs the lighter from the officers hand, lighting it and deeply breathing in the fire it causes. sighing in relief and smoke comes out his nose and mouth, his father ruffles his hair as they grab their bags. Driving to the house, Izuku was still catching his breath, breathing in the lighter, flinching at the bad taste of fake flames.
“Dad, i need your flame, this isn't doing it” Izuku begs, his eyes pleading as his father nods, pulling over, his father found a branch and blew onto it, causing it to light aflame, Izuku quickly inhaled the flame sighing, as his flames grew brighter and larger, he smiled happily
“That's better!”
“Did that get your furnace going?”
“Yep! Tastes like steak!” Izuku chuckled, Hisashi laughed as they got back in the car. The exam was tomorrow, they were already wasting time. So from then on it was a direct course home.

Chapter Text
Izuku was ready! The day was bright and his mind was clear, he was punching the air as his father made breakfast, Hisashi was laughing as Izuku was full of energy. The man served him food, the bacon slipping onto Izukus plate as the boy dug in, stuffing his mouth, the under cooked food cooking within his mouth as he chews.
His father could barley blink before the food was gone and Izuku was trying to get out the door, his father grabbed his arm, giving him the look, eye brow raising as his lips went into a line, Izuku sighed and nodded.
“Ill be careful. i wont take off my protectors unless i have to” He sighs as his father nods, letting him go, he smiles and runs out the door, the walk to the train station was luckily very short, standing at the back of the train his smile still bright, it started to fade as people moved away from the boy
“What a dangerous quirk, he should be put on quirk suppressants” says an older lady, her hair being replaced by water, Izuku shuffles away from the woman, worried about his own quirk being hurt, his happy mood was put out like a camp fire.
He walked to the UA entrance his excitement rising up his throat despite the annoyance on the way to his location, grabbing a lighter he clicks it on, breathing in its contents like hes taking a hit, shaking off the bad taste he walks through the gate, there were so many cool people around, Izuku was bouncing and looking around, people shed him curious glances, the flames covering him always have made him stand out, so Izuku didn't mind when people stared, it would only affect him if they started being mean about it, sitting in the hall, seats surrounded the main stage, Izuku stood out in the dark, like a dull light bulb in a dark room, the people next to him moved away slightly, Izuku cringed in embarrassment, trying his best to make his flames smaller, especially the ones on his back. That's when Present Mic started his talk, Izuku tried to pay attention. Points, blah blah blah, Robots, Blah Blah Blah, Izuku was never too good at paying attention, usually losing interest if its not something hes disgustingly educated in.
His thoughts were cut short when a boy stood up, making Izuku look over along with everyone else in the area.
“You only talked about two of the opponents, what about the third one you showed us all” The boy asked, he had a clean and rich looking appearance, the boys hand was chopping up and down, Izuku wondered what up bringing could make somebody have a permanent stick up their ass? But after Present Mic explained the rules, Izuku zoning out once again, the boy pointed directly at Izuku
“You with the flames, learn to control them, the people around you have to suffer because of your lack of consideration” The boy said making Izuku's jaw drop, but he picked it right back up, he stood and grabbed the seat in front of him, his flames growing as he got angrier, Present Mic quickly shook his hands around
“Hey hey young man! don't go making assumptions on peoples quirks now!” Mic said as Izuku sat down angrily, he forgot how unaccepting Japan was with quirks!, its not like the US at all, Izuku was always always complemented and praised for how pretty his flames were, or how cool of a hero he will be, but ever since he got to Japan hes been degraded and treated horribly, not like he didn't know it would be like this, he wont forget that year were he was practically imprisoned.
The students got to the written exam and it was extremely easy? Izuku was expecting harder questions, and he got bad looks when he turned in his test. Eyes trailing the Izuku as they watched out of jealousy. After everyone was done they walked to the practical area, Izuku was still just about skipping, the bus ride was short too, although nobody sat even near him, rather standing then going near his ‘dangerous’ flames.
“He finished way too early, i bet he gave up” Said a girl with spikes on her back, she wasn't even that far away from the boy, almost like she wanted him to hear her, Izuku clenched his teeth in anger, grinding them together, how annoying.
When they go to the entrance Izuku stared into space, people talking and playing around, but the sky was pretty that day so Izuku ignored it all to stare at the clouds above, the clouds were so white and so big! shaking out the thoughts, he grabbed his lighter, lighting it quickly and breathing it in, sighing in relief as the warm feeling fills his lungs, the boy that randomly called Izuku out during the lecture from Present Mic walks over with a mad expression, Izuku rolls his eyes, wondering what he could possibly want now, smoke coming out of his mouth
“How dare you smoke! If you came here just to cause trouble you should leave now!” The annoyance hissed, Izukus eye twitched in anger,
“I'm covered in fire, I naturally smoke from-” Izuku says his hands motioning to all of him “all over!” Midoriya hisses, hes getting sick of this entitled brat, hes definitely rich. ’Stick up the ass’ goes to argue but Present Mic interrupts them.
“Go!… what you think there are count downs in real battles?” The loud hero questioned, Izuku was happy he had an excuse to run away from the conversation.
His wings push him forwards as he charges the robots, he has a main idea on how to get points, so Izuku just ends up going wild, obliterating any he sees, saving a few people along the way as they thank him and quickly run off, Izuku sighs, clicking his lighter and breathing it in, his wings growing bigger, running down the streets he sees some fires have broken out, jumping with joy he focuses, sucking it all in, they must be naturally caused, they taste like the charcoal that sits at the bottom of a barbecue, don't ask him how he knows what that tastes like. Now pumping with power, Izuku turns to see people running, screaming and telling other to run as well, looking over a giant robot towers even the actual towers, its frame was just as large, making destruction wherever the fat robot went, Izuku's heart races.
“Holy shit!” he whispers about to turn to run his wings flapping about ready to go, but his ears pick up a scream, turning his head he sees a girl trapped under the rubble, she has light brown hair and very cute pink cheeks, his feet turn on their own, his heart beating faster than before, his mind racing, and before he knows it, hes in the air, taking off the two metal casts on his forearms, charging all his fire into his arms, they turn redder, heating up as steam pushes out his skin, escaping to furnace that's being created through him, blasting the robot away in one big shot, he wont lie, it hurt, it felt like his energy flushed away with it, it flew around fifty meters, before falling, Izukus wings were too weak because of the fire power he used, they felt like they weren’t even attached to his back, not to mention he could feel his blood beneath his skin boiling like water ready for pasta to be tipped in, falling towards the ground, the wind pressure was stinging his ears, how does he avoid breaking a bone, or two? The ground was getting freakishly close, Izuku closed his eyes shut putting his arms in front of his face, then hes slapped, what the fuck?the girl that was trapped under the robot was making him float? but it didn't last long because as soon as he heard a small
“Release!” he slammed on the ground, it was painful but at least it isn't a broken bone, the blast from the falling robot was giant, hot flames pushing into the air, the red flames came straight towards the two, the girl shrieking as he covered her head with her hands, Izuku quickly stood, getting the girl behind him, making sure she avoids his forearms.
Izuku sighs before sucking in the flames about to charge for others, his lungs rise the more that comes in, his wings and hair getting hotter and larger, it burns and scratches at his throat, his heart is burning like he just ate too much food way too fast, but there were people around, so he lets himself smoke out, the grey gas coming from his ears, nose and mouth, some came from his skin but it wasn't enough to notice, turning to the girl who sits on the floor shocked
“Are you okay?” he asks as she nods, he reaches out his arm for her but seeing his bare arm, Izuku flinches away
“Wow! That was nearly bad” Izuku chuckles awkwardly before using his flames to pull his casts towards him, slapping them on quickly and helping her up, she thanks him, her eyes round and pretty, he keeps his arm around her, holding her up, her leg is hurt, the cuts surrounding her thigh and shin were bloody and bruised, so he sweeps her feet from underneath her catching her with a swift movement, her face goes red
“Oh I'm sorry, I'm pretty warm” He sighs but she blushes more and just shakes her head
“I-its fine!” She replies hiding her face with her hands again, Izuku smiles at her as the sirens alarm
"Test over!” Present Mic squeals as Izuku sighs in relief, he probably couldn't do much more anyways.
A small woman comes forwards
“Have some candy!” She smiles giving out sweets to those around her, they grab then hesitantly before shrugging and eating the thing whole, she faces Izuku straight on. She didn't need to ask because the look on her face said plenty as she eyed the girl being carried by the flaming kid.
“Shes hurt her leg, not broken, just a bit cut up” Izuku says laying the girl down slowly as she winces, the lady nods giving her a big kiss on the head, her cuts seem like they get better automatically, making Izuku light up, so cool! The healer, who goes by the name of recovery girl, gives the brunette a sweet, smiling at her kindly, Izuku makes sure the girl is okay, when she seems all fine he helps her up, putting her arm around him as he helps her move to the entrance.
“Whats your name?” She asks shyly, almost as if he would scream at her for even trying to ask him such a question.
“Izuku Midoriya! what about yours?”
“Ochaco Uraraka!”
...
Bakugo wasn't worried about the exam, he was confident he would pass, but during the introduction he had this weird feeling, a feeling of nostalgia, when a boy started rambling on about the robots he then pointed to another boy and insulted him for his quirk, Katsuki looked over, the boy had fire for hair, his green hair peeking through at the base, his small fire wings were bright, his face all too familiar. Bakugo didn't want to get his hopes up but he wants more than anything for that to be his old friend, the only one he believes can rival him, remembering the times when Bakugo tried to use his quirk but the boy ate his flames like it was nothing besides a quick snack. Saying it tasted like 'sugar and burnt sausages'. If the boy had to be honest, it scared him, his quirk was powerful, he was told that since it first came, but in the back of his mind Izuku lurked, even if Bakugo succeeded in a hit, the explosion would just push the boy back a bit. As flames and heat didn't even hurt him.
Bakugo was preoccupied the whole exam, the written he had to redo the last page because he read it wrong, and in the practical he nearly exploded a fellow student, but he played it off, making sure it didn't look like he nearly did that, he could have lost points, Bakugo shook it off, screaming in annoyance as he pushed it out his mind, running to another robot to explode the poor piece of machinery.
...
Izuku was watching TV at home, yawning as the need for sleep became more desperate, the exam was tough but Izuku just wanted to watch one more episode, but his fathers arrival home interrupted that as Hisashi's mood was bad as soon as he entered, Izuku wasn't an empath, but the bags under his fathers eyes and the growl that came from the mans throat was enough for Izuku to think, he may be mad.
“Its 12am! Go to bed.” He hissed, taking off his shoes, Izuku rolled his eyes turning off the TV but complaining the whole time, protesting like a child
“I deserve it, i did so much today!” Izuku whined, his father gave him a stare so Izuku stopped out of concern for his life, before silently scattering off to his room.
It was a week later of lazing around, Izuku loved it, his father kept telling him he should go train but what was the point? Izuku is fine, besides over using his quirk a bit to much, it was still easy, his wings strained a little but they should ease out with rest.
Izukus wings are not powerful, he loves them more than anything, but they are weak, they need training but flying using fire is an incredibly hard task, they are only really used for fly when he needs it, and its only for a quick second, but he had to save that girl, Uraraka her name was, so he had to actually go air born for longer than his typical quick second, so his back is tense and sore, not that he would admit that to his father, since Hisashi did tell him not to push it, blah blah blah, your quirk is enough alone blah blah blah, where is the fun in that.
Izuku heard a knock, opening the door, he saw the mailman standing bright
“Hey, mail for you, looks important, so i didn't want to put it in your mailbox!” He said as Izuku smiled at him, putting his metal cover on his neck
“Thanks! Have a good day!” Izuku says as the man leaves, Izuku sees the ‘UA’ symbol printed neatly on the white envelope, smiling he opens it eagerly, but coming out is a small disc, looking at the circular object, Izuku's eyebrow raises
“What the fu-“ Before he can finish his sentence a hologram of All Might pops up, Izuku stares in shock but pays attention none the less.
“I am here! As a hologram! Young Midoriya! You passed the written test with the best scores! congratulations, now the practical, you also got the top score! Amazing work young man! For the points you got by the robots! you got a whopping 65 points! But now, there were points we didn't tell you about! For rescue points you got a whopping 70 points!” Izuku did the quick math while eating some raw bacon, the food cooking in his mouth before he swallows.
“135, not bad at all” Izuku comments to himself,
“UA is excited to see you on the first day! your class is 1A! your schedule will be given to you on the first day! Your student pass to get into the school is in your letter! This is your Hero Academia!” The tiny all might yells before the hologram ends, Izuku smiles, the message wasn't long but he understands the man must have A LOT of tapes to record. Taking out his phone he quickly texts his dad.
-‘I got in of course!’-
-‘I'm surprised they didn't see through you and realize how lazy you are’-
His dad replied as Izuku took offense, gasping at the device, but then the TV revealed his favourite show was on, so his phone was thrown across the room as he snuggled up to the couch, sighing in relief as he takes off his chest and neck cover, grabbing his heat proof blanket. He fell asleep so he missed his show. His poor dad got to hear all about how upset Izuku was as it was an important lore episode.
The first day was here but Izuku spent his morning on his phone playing angry birds, its a game where these birds with quirks attack pigs, it was made before quirks were a thing, maybe the creator could see into the future and predicted powers? Izukus flames get larger and angrier with each level he fails
“dumb stupid pigs, just die already” Izuku hisses, his dad rolls his eyes taking the eggs and bacon off the pan, both under cooked
“Come eat Izuku, put that bloody phone down, you'll burn down the house” Hisashi sighs, serving the food onto a plate
“yeah yeah.” Izuku groans sitting at the table, eating the raw food, Izuku hates food that's overcooked and it hurts his stomach, so his food must be cooked nearly raw, it will cook in his mouth anyways so its not like Izuku will get sick, and for his dad, its too much trouble cooking them separately so he just cooks his using his breath when its on the plate, although that does destroy the plates quite a bit.
“Have fun today! wear your covers so you don't burn your peers!” Hisashi says kindly, Izuku smiles back
“Yeah will do! See ya!” Izuku shouts before running out, with his new uniform being fire proof and made to accommodate his quirk he luckily doesnt burn them off straight away, Izuku is used to burning off all his school uniforms which usually left him naked, so now being naked caused by his quirk is normal to him, and he doesn't get embarrassed anymore, the only annoyance is its expensive, re-buying clothes over and over, so its great to have a uniform that doesn't burn up whenever Izuku gets fired up. On the train people again would step away from him, as Izuku sighed sadly stepping away from the crowd, whispers of how inconsiderate he was spread through the crowd, making Izuku sink in on himself sadly.
He was bummed out the rest of the walk to UA, thinking of the mean words people spread
“A UA student? looks more like a villain”
“With that quirk, he could really kill somebody”
“The government needs to suppress that boys quirk”
It was all so cruel, they didn't know him, besides cant they see the obvious suppressants he has on already, these neck, chest and arm covers are uncomfortable no matter how often he wears them, they will always hurt, the neck cover bruises his neck, hes just glad he doesn't need the ability to breathe, due to his quirk, Izuku doesn't actually have to breathe, so when hes forced to wear suppressants it wasn't rare for him to pass out because he forgot to breathe. If it wasn't for that, the cover on his neck would have probably killed him years ago. He entered the school still in a bad mood, but the giant building lifted his spirits slightly as he walked faster to get inside.
A blonde boy with spiked hair had already taken a seat in the class, his feet resting on top of the desk as the student with the stick up his ass complained about the students before him and respecting the school. Not knowing about the exhausting day to come.
Notes:
So there's the Entrance Exam YIPPEE!
I got the idea of Bakugo and other peoples fire like quirks tasting different depending on the person from a commenter from my first chapter, they said i could take full credit for it but, I'm not gonna do that, it was their idea and it was a really good one! I wont say their name tho, they may not like that.Next chapter will be out tomorrow as its already written, but I'm lazzzyyy and cant be bothered to edit it wahhhh!
Remember! you can always ask or give suggestions on his quirk but don't be asking "Can you write better" cause you know i wont :>
My brain is still fucked so i cant think past the basics SORRYYY, maybe as i go on the writing will get better.Also if you didn't notice, i swear a lot, I'm Australian and its literally in my every day vocabulary, so it feels wrong not typing like that too, me being Australian also affects my writing and spelling, so when i grammar check it with help of a website, it tries to say some words aren't real? so don't worry about when it switches between different spelling types.
Chapter 3: First Day of UA
Notes:

Izuku enters the class, sighing as this means he has to actually work, but as he looks up he sees a familiar face, Bakugo already starting fights,
“Kacchan!” Izuku yells, students looking over, Bakugo's eyes widen in shock seeing the boy, that's what gets his feet off the desk, Bakugo stands
“Izuku! When did you get back to Japan?” Bakugo asks as Izuku smiles at him
“A day before the exam, speaking of which, I didn't see you at the exam,” Izuku says laughing, Bakugo sighs
“Yeah I was, I thought that was you I saw, why didn't you contact me when you got back?” Bakugo questions, annoyance obviously in his tone, Izuku cringes
“Oh yeah aha! its just it had been so long, I didn't want to annoy you or anything” Izuku explains, scratching his arm, where the cover starts, to try give himself some freedom, its become a tick he usually finds himself doing when ever hes put under pressure, another is trying to free the room on his neck.
“You still wearing those?” Bakugo asks as Izuku sits behind him, the boy with the weird engine legs sighs and goes to his own seat.
“Yeah, government orders, it kinda makes sense, the temperature has started to reach 140 degrees” Izuku sighs, Bakugo's eyes raise in surprise
“Wow that's really hot” Bakugo says shocked, Izuku chuckles
“Wow Bakugo, didn't know you swung that way” Izuku laughs, Bakugo blushes in embarrassment
“WHAT! AH GET LOST” He yells, his quirk popping in his hands
“Okay, okay, you know I'm just kidding!” Izuku plays, his hair getting hotter as he laughs, Bakugo sighs, calming down
“Your Japanese is still good, that's a good thing” Bakugo comments as Izuku nods happily
“Yeah! me and my dad still talked Japanese when talking to each other, hows your mum and dad by the way?” Izuku asks putting his hand on his cheek to rest his head.
“Yeah the hags fine, my dads doing okay too” Bakugo comments, Izuku sighs giving the boy a look
“You still call her a hag? How have you not di-“ Izuku says but hes interrupted, eyes pointing to the door as a yellow caterpillar the size of a man lays in front of the entrance, Izuku tilts his head confused, the man shuffling up to the front of the class, Izuku watches carefully, as the... Man? Waits for the rest of the class to calm down, when the other students finally shut up the man groans loudly
“It took you two minutes to calm down, that isn't acceptable” The man says before taking the sleeping bag off, his long dark hair flowing down, he has these eyes that stare into your soul, it gives Izuku a bit of the creeps in a way, but he knows the man must be a good person, although he may seem mean.
“I'm your new homeroom teacher, Mr Aizawa” The man says as Izuku stares curiously, hes unfamiliar, but he looks pretty cool.
“Put on your sport uniforms and meet me on the training field” The teacher explains before walking out of the classroom, Izuku and Bakugo keep talking as they walk to the change rooms.
As they start changing Izuku realizes, he didn't know about this uniform, he hopes its fire proof, Izuku carefully takes off his covers, placing them down as they clutter
“Hey man what are they for?” Asks a red head, his hair even more spiked up than Bakugos
“They are my heat covers, I'm forced to wear them by the government, specific parts of my body could kill people if they touch them” Izuku explains
“Woah, are they uncomfortable?” He asks, concern painting his face
“You bet!” Izuku giggles, putting on the sport uniform, his wings luckily don't melt the uniform… yet. But when he puts on the chest and neck cover, he feels the fabric melt into his skin, hissing in pain he pulls through and walks to the field, the pain doesn't stop but he does get used to it pretty quickly.
They get to the field and Izuku is met with Uraraka,
“Hey Midoriya! I'm so glad to see you made it through the exam, even though I was confident you would pass!” She says happily, Izuku nods
“I'm happy to see you here too Uraraka! Lets do our best!” Izuku says punching the air excitedly, Aizawa sighs, shutting up the class with just a look, and instructing Bakugo to use his quirk to throw the ball, the boy smiled wildly, nodding as he snatched it out his teachers hand, standing in the circle, he took a deep breath and used his blasts to throw the ball forwards
“DIE!” he screamed, his explosions pushing the ball into the sky and out of sight, Izuku chuckled, ‘die’? Aizawa showed the results of over 700 meters.
The student erupted in excitement as they talked about how fun it would be, their teacher gave an evil smile.
“Oh this will be fun huh? Okay. Then the person who comes in last will be expelled” Aizawa threatens, the class turns to him complaining about how its unfair
“Is it fair that natural disasters take lives everyday? Are villains killing innocent people fair? No. Life isn't fair and the sooner you realize this the better. And if you never do, you are not fit to be a hero.” The class stays silent taking the hit, sighing as they accept their challenge.
The first test was the 50 meter dash, Izuku warmed up happily ready to go, his wings fluttering, they increase in size to prepare for the race, when Aizawa shouts go, Izuku blasts forwards, his flames on his ankles blast forwards as his wings flap once, getting him to the end just after engine legs does, Izuku smiles at his wings, letting them hug him in their warmth, but as he looks down he sees where his ankle flames sit, his uniform burnt away. The others did well too, Bakugo blasted himself across, The guy with different coloured hair used ice, and another used frog like jumping, all of their quirks were really cool, Izuku would love to talk to them all about them, but he was one of the last racers so the next test was beginning.
Grip Strength, Izuku was strong of course but his quirk didn't play into this one very well, so he just did it as hard as he could, Izuku squeezed but in the end his arm strained due to the metal on his arm causing him to freeze up, he only ended up getting 60kg. Angry at the result, he smacked his metal heat cover, but that just hurt his hand, gasping in pain he grabbed his hand wincing.
“Midoriya.” Mr Aizawa said walking over. Izuku looked over as the man got close looking at the metal, holding it carefully, Izuku flinched, hes not used to people touching his arms without concern or fear for themselves.
“These were mentioned, what are they for?” Aizawa asks, he obviously wants specifics on why the government keeps him under restriction. Izuku goes to say the same long story about how those points on him have extreme heat due to the lungs and where his power comes out, but he knows the teacher doesn't want that, he must want specifics.
“When my quirk manifested I killed my mother, without these, if I even hug somebody they can die immediately depending on the person.” Izuku says, his voice heavier with each word, Aizawa nods softly
“Do they hurt?” He asks as Izuku gives a sad look
“Always” Izuku replies, his eyes filled with a lingering look of agony yet the smile on his face doesn't budge. Aizawa nods and walks away, making Izuku wonder what the goal of that conversation was. But Izuku calls out to the man, Mr Aizawa turned, waiting for Izuku to talk, Izuku went to speak but couldn't, so he just walked away.
Next was standing long jump, Izuku knew this was going to hurt his wings quite a bit, but they would heal. So when it got to his turn, he stretched his wings and legs, ready to jump, he looks behind him and sees Bakugo use his quirk, quickly sucking up the boys flames, Bakugo jumps back in shock
“IZUKU!” He yells, as Izuku just laughs
“Thanks for the snack Kacchan!” He giggles as the boy looks at him angrily, taking a minute to get his quirk back and working, Izuku jumps, his wings working roughly and he clears the sand pit easily, using his flames on his ankles to propel him faster. landing perfectly, he took a pose, walking back to Bakugo, although he ended with the shoulder completely gone it was still a good jump, Izuku learned the red heads name was Kirishima, Izuku gave him a big smile
“Good jump!” He complements and Izuku bows dramatically, the yellow haired boy who introduced himself as Kaminari looked at Midoriya.
“Did you take Bakugos quirk?” Kaminari asks as Izuku shakes his head while smiling
“Not at all! I took his fire, it was yummy!” Izuku jokes, giving Bakugo a look as the angry boy glares at him
“Yummy?” Kaminari questions, an eyebrow raised
“Yeah, for my quirk to work I breathe in fire, and that means ANY fire, so even if somebody used their quirk and it had flames of any kind, I can just take it, so I'm a bad match up for Bakugo” Izuku says smiling, Bakugo just sighs sadly, turning his head away in shame
“That's crazy cool!” Kaminari says, Izuku gives him a thumbs up, hes too pumped and excited to get all chatty.
More tests went on and Izuku did well in all of them, usually coming first or second, then the ball throw happened, it wasn't during the throw that something went wrong, it was after it, Izuku had just thrown his ball and managed to get 823 meters, using his fire and wing strength to blast it forwards, it may have destroyed his uniform but he wasn't naked at least. As he went back to join the others, one of the girls, who was pink and used acid wasn't looking where she was going, and as Izuku stood his back facing her, trying to calm down the heat of his wings, the girl fell towards him, Aizawa didn't have time to intervene so instead he erased Izukus quirk to protect her, she smacked into him and apologized but the boy fell to the floor, shivering and shaking, Aizawa gave him back his quirk but the boy didn't stop, the breeze making it all the worse, Izuku couldn't breathe, scratching at his throat to try take a breath, his neck cover was on, which presses down on his neck harshly, not to mention the fabric that went into his skin, now with no heat there to regulate, it went cold against the metal, nobody had realized the pain he was in.
Except Aizawa, he rushed towards the boy as Izuku took off the neck, chest and arm covers, but it didn't do much, he needed fire to be able to breathe properly, its the same feeling as if you had no air in your lungs, and there was no air around to fill it either, Izuku looked up at Aizawa with teary eyes
“Did I.. Do something wrong?” The boy asked as Aizawas eyes filled with worry, he crouched down beside him, that's when Bakugo looked over, rushing over
“Izuku? what do you need?” Bakugo asks, Izuku would ask for his quirk but Bakugos quirk isn't real fire, its still fire he can breathe in to power up a little, but it would hurt more than not having any fire at all, imagine you were starving, you had no food in your system at all, yet then you just had a cigarette, and kept having cigarettes, it would be ten times worse than that. Izuku rummaged for his pocket and grabbed his lighter, other people started to notice the scene and looked over, Izuku was clicking the lighter but it was out of gas
“I need fire. Now. or ill pass out in five minutes, and be dead in ten” Izuku begs, his voice washed out and breathless
“what about mine?” Bakugo asks, Izuku shakes his head. Aizawa grabbed Todoroki
“Use your fire to help him now!” Todoroki was shocked at the sudden task but quickly made some fire, Izukus eyes lit up as he breathed in the quirk made fire, sighing in a bit of relief, it tasted like? what did it taste like? It was different, but he cant worry about the taste of the boys quirk right now, he looked up at Todoroki with begging eyes as the boy realized what he was asking and made some more, Izuku breathed that all in too, as his wings started gaining size, smoke was coming out his mouth and nose, and finally he had enough, pushing away Todoroki softly with his hand, the boy was also glad he didn't have to do that anymore, only just realizing he had used his power, but at least it wasn't to fight, besides Izuku needed help, what hero would Todoroki be if he refused. Aizawa went to grab Izukus arm, and Izuku couldn't stop him in time due to his own fatigue, Aizawa grabbed his forearm before flinching away, his hand blistering, Izukus eyes looked at his hand, scrambling for his covers, Aizawa tried to stop him
“Don't! you have injuries” The teacher said, talking about the burnt in uniform, but Izuku didn't listen.
He quickly shoved them back on before turning to his teacher
“Are you okay? I'm at around 100 degrees right now, that must sting!” Izuku says as his teacher stares at him.
“Bakugo. Take him to the nurse and force him to take those things off to heal his injuries. ill deal with the rest” Aizawa hisses as Izuku flinches, Bakugo helps him up and uses his quirk to give Izuku more fuel.
Aizawa turns to Ashido.
“You are at UA, everyone around you has quirks that could be dangerous, especially his, you nearly went right into his fire covered wings, you could have suffered 3rd degree burns, not to mention the government could have taken Midoriya away and blamed him for your injuries.” Aizawa says before turning to the whole class.
“Always be aware of your surroundings, especially with quirks like Midoriyas, he must have enough worries trying not to hurt people, you will make his life harder if you don't pay attention either, you are not his problem, look out for yourselves. Now lets look at the results.” Ashido rubs her arm to comfort herself sadly
“Mr Aizawa, shouldn't you get that burn looked at?” Asks Iida, as Aizawa looks at his hand, the burn was painful, more painful than a regular burn, it was his own fault, he knew the boys arm was a hot spot and yet grabbed it anyways out of instinct to comfort the boy, and anyways if he turned it in, Aizawa isn't sure what would happen to Midoriya.
—
Izuku sat in recovery girls chair, still taking in fire from his lighter. Recovery girl sighed.
“Boy, I need you to take them off, I wont be hurt I promise” Recovery girl said as Izuku scratched his skin that can be seen on his forearm. He finally sighs and takes off his neck cover and chest cover, leaving on his arm ones, due to there being no injuries underneath them, she gives him an angry look.
“If the uniform didn't suit your covers, you should have immediately taken them off and come to me, or Mr Aizawa, we would have helped you” She sweetly explains, yet it still had anger behind the tone, Izuku just looks down, disappointed in himself, she begins to take out the fabric that got melted into his skin, wearing heat resistant gloves, after finally taking all of it out of his neck and chest she gives him a kiss on the cheek, the skin already started to heal, making Izuku sigh in relief, she then went to put on bandages but Izuku stopped her
“They will burn off in an instant” He explains as she just nods, putting a tin of cream in his hands instead
“Put this on yourself. I don't want to be burnt” She smiles, Izuku nods and grabs his covers, going to put it back on, but Recovery girl grabs his hand making Izuku quickly look back.
“Don't put them back on boy, you'll get get hurt” She states, her voice not angry or demanding, more as though it was a soft suggestion the boy was allowed to make
“But if it don't. People die.” Izuku argues back, shoving the chest cover back on over his uniform, they grabbed it to change into as his sport uniform was burnt away and destroyed, Recovery girl just looked at the boy sadly, Bakugo who was leaning against the wall watching with a straight face, but underneath he felt bad for his friend.
Izuku didn't want to hurt anybody, not again.
—
Izuku was ten years old, his friend Jacob and him were inseparable, although for the first few years of their friendship Izuku found it hard to say Jacobs name, but he got it in the end, Izuku and Jacob had similar quirks, that's why they got along so well, Jacob had a quirk called ‘Fire feet’ his feet can produce flames from the bottom of his feet that can be made stronger by eating hot foods, so Jacob was fine being around Izukus heat because they both had fire type quirks.
So when a villain attacked their school, and Jacob twisted his ankle, and was rendered unconscious, Izuku without thinking picked up the boy and started running. His covers weren't on, when Izuku got to the ambulance, his friend was already dead, Izuku stared at Jacob, the boys eyes lifeless just like his mothers were all those years ago, the ambulance stared in shock, the boys side that leaned against Izukus chest was burnt to a crisp, as well as the back of his neck and the back of his legs, where Izukus arms were holding him, Izuku knew. He had killed his friend, his friend he had known for five years, the one who made sure nobody bullied Izuku, the one who had laughed and cried with Izuku.
When the heroes turned to Izuku who stood shocked, Izuku shook his head
“N-no! I didn't kill him! I didn't kill Jacob!” He screamed, but a fire type hero jumped on the boy, pinning him down as they yelled for quirk suppressants and restraints. Izukus father arrived quickly, screaming for his son, but Izuku was taken away yet again.
It took six months for the trails to go on, for the murder of his friend, and the burns the hero that pinned him down ended up receiving. That's where Izuku was proven not guilty for the Murder of his best friend, but that didn't make Izuku feel any less of a killer, any less of a villain. The rules put on his covers became a permanent need, Izuku didn't fight it, as in the end, it was an action that would protect others, even if it hurt Izuku in the process.
Notes:
Welp! We got a bit further into Izukus life in America, there will be more of that don't worry, but I don't wanna do it all at once, that would completely ruin it!
I was considering on Izuku not getting his quirk erased this chapter as there is TOO MUCH angst already but! I needed to show you the affects on how Izukus body reacts when he doesn't have his quirk in further detail. I hope those who are actually liking this story, enjoy this chapter.
Next chapter is the Hero class with All Might! (It will come out on Friday) But Im pretty sure its gonna be LONG so hang in there!
Chapter 4: Notice!
Notes:
Please read if you wish for this fic to continue! :D or if you are wondering where the update is.
