I do not own My Hero Academia or any of the characters part of the My Hero Academia universe.

It all started with the nightmare:

Izuku Midoriya would never forget the day he awakened his quirk.

A room like any other, filled with desks, it was his first-grade classroom.

It seems like a normal day all the students were telling Izuku the usual speel

"You'll never be a hero, you worthless Deku" That comment hurt the most that Kachan, Izuku's friend since he was a little kid, could tell him that straight to his face.

"You Really think you can be a hero?" Izuku didn't like that question.

"Loser, you really think you can save people with no quirk? Don't make me laugh."

All of this was normal, he had no indication that this was a dream.

Until he heard his teacher say something too good to be true:

"Class today All Might will be coming in to meet you." The entire class was excited, especially Izuku he had the chance to meet his favorite hero, his dream could be realized. The moral of the story; if something sounds too good to be true, it generally is. The first thing his hero said as he walked into the room nearly broke him.

"Izuku…" Izuku was so happy that his hero knew his name…

"You can not be a hero."

…

The next instant all of the insults that were being lashed at him we're coming back like a cloud of darkness enshrouding him. Al he could hear was the laughter of his cruel classmates, his teacher, even all might, all the insults he heard over the years flooding back to him. He wanted it to just go away, He wanted it all to just...

"STOP" Izuku yelled at the top of his lungs awaking from his horrid dream, the word seemed to echo off the walls of his small room. His room had not a trace of light besides that of the moon. He looked at his All Might alarm clock: 5:30… he wouldn't have to wake up for at least thirty minutes. He wondered two things: first, his cheeks were still wet, had he really been crying over such a stupid dream, he knew all might would never say anything like that. Second, he realized that he scream should have awoken his mom. Now he was worried. He tried shouting MOM… no sound could be heard, again he tried and again no sound came out of his mouth. His throat felt really sore it hurt to even think of talking like had been talking straight for seven hours. He has only yelled one word though, so he wasn't sure why. The first thing he tried to do was turn on the light but no matter how hard he pushed on the switch it wouldn't budge. Izuku knew he wasn't that weak, but gave up and tried waking up his mother. The door to his Mom's room was opened because Izuku had troubles with nightmares in the past.

He tried everything in his power to wake her up. He Yelled… but no voice came out of his mouth. He tried shaking her but she wouldn't budge. He wanted to try ice but the freezer wouldn't open, no matter what he did nothing would budge even slightly, Eventually, Izuku gave up, after what felt like 9 hours of trying he gave up and tired falling asleep, the weirdest thing was that the clock still read 5:30. This experience is what made him want to be a hero to save them from experiences that scared them like this.
