It was dark. Izuku wondered if this what death felt like. He did not feel cold and he was not in pain. It was quiet.

"A visitor," a voice said. "This plane has not had one in a while."

Light flowed through his eyelids. Opening his eyes, he was met with the sky. He could not believe it. He was sure that he was dead. The villain who had attacked him; wanting to use his body to conceal himself from someone after him. Had found some else, Kacchan. His body moved before he had the time to think. He was blasted by his friend's quirk during his desperate attempt to free him.

"No you are not dead," the voice informed him. "Simply, misplaced."

"Misplaced!?" Izuku squeaked in panic.

The voice chuckled causing the green haired boy to feel uncomfortable. Izuku looked around. The place looked like a giant lake. A few ruined buildings in its wake as well as an archway that looked like converging horns with a gem floating in between. Still, after taking in his surroundings, he found no one. He wondered if he was hallucinating and questioned his sanity.

"No Izuku, you are neither hallucinating nor are you crazy," the voice answered his unspoken question. A dragon suddenly appeared in front of the confused boy. "I am Ugin. It is nice to meet you young Izuku Midorya."

The teen gaped at the creature. His mind trying to comprehend what was happening in front of him. The creature of legend was at least twenty feet tall, his body radiated energy but was translucent, almost surreal.

"My apologies for startling you," Ugin apologized.

"You're a dra… Dragon!?" Izuku stuttered fearfully. 'Is he going to eat me?'

"I am not going to eat you Izuku, humans tend to be stringy and they resist too much. Not really easy for the stomach," Ugin replied to the boy's unspoken question.

'Is he reading my mind?' Izuku asked in his mind. 'Is he someone with a quirk like Mandalay of the Pussy Cats?'

'Telepathy is but one facet of my power,' Ugin's replied as his voice echoed throughout Izuku's mind. 'You too have similar powers.'

"What!?" Izuku shouted in disbelief. Different emotions flooded him one after the other as he processed the elder dragon's words. "But I'm quirkless."

"Yes, you are quirkless," Ugin said.

"I knew it," Izuku whispered. Tears fell from eyes hidden beneath his mop of green hair. Memories from his past played within his mind.

"However, your abilities that I spoke of do not stem from what your world calls quirks," Ugin explained causing the boy to raise his head. "It stems from something that is not limited to one world. It is what our kind calls 'The Spark'. This power that we have been given allows us to gain many abilities and skills. One of which brought you here."

Izuku began to mutter. Trying to find logic to what the dragon told him. Unbeknownst to him, an unknown force had begun to surround his body. Ugin sweatdropped at the boy's habit but it turned to interest once he saw the magic that the boy invoked unconsciously.

'This boy is odd,' Ugin thought amused. 'Then again everyone has their own way of being unique.'

"Sorry for being weird," Izuku apologized after hearing the dragon's comment before going back to his muttering.

Ugin looked at the boy in shock. He did not voice his comment. Yet the boy replied to his thoughts. He strengthened the shield for his mind in caution. A newly awakened spark can be very dangerous afterall. 'This boy is incredibly powerful, to be able to sense my thoughts.' Being an immortal dragon, there were very few things he had not seen in his lifetime. This boy was a wonder to him. A living paradox.

In the small time that Ugin had gone through the boy's mind, he saw the boy's origins, his truths, his aspirations, and potential but the dragon found that it was no simple task to know this boy. His mind was powerful but broken. Years of being abused, disregarded, and disappointment has shattered his mind. Each piece a different person, a different emotion, a different aspect of his life, different memories. Many of them work together forming the boy that was before him but some…

He had been trying to repress his memories. Hoping that he could erase them altogether but know that his experiences are part of his identity. His mind a treasure trove of knowledge but still learning. His reality destroyed again and again. A lesser man would have succumbed to mind death. One bad moment in his life and darkness would claim him. Yet, the boy has the best disposition for a hero. He was capable of sacrifice, of bravery, empathy and understanding. His desire to become a hero was earnest. His reason pure.

"Do you want to return to your world young one?" Ugin asked. Bringing the boy back from his thoughts. The boy looked at him with wide eyes.

"Can I?" Izuku asked.

"I can help you," Ugin replied. The words were simple but his answer was filled with profundity.

"But why help me?" Izuku continued. "I'm…"

"Because I see in you great potential, Izuku Midorya," Ugin interrupted as soon as he read the self-deprecating thoughts that were going through the boy's mind. "One that would be a waste not to nurture. This barren plane is not ideal for your growth. Your world will give you the opportunity for it. So, I ask again young Midorya. Do you want to return to your world?"

Ugin saw repressed memories play so clearly in the boy's mind. He could not help but empathize with the boy and be sympathetic. Izuku's face was filled with tears, creating ripples in the water. His eyes hidden behind his hair. Clenching at his heart as his face contorted from pain and agony.

'You never told me, mom,' Izuku thought as the memory played. He fell to his knees. 'The thing I wanted you to say. The words I needed to hear.'

"Young man," Ugin said solemnly. "You can become a hero."

Author's Notes:

I tend to get distracted easily because my mind constantly bombards me with random thoughts. One of which made me wonder what Izuku would be like as a planeswalker. Though he would become OP, I still saw a lot of potential for this.

Thank you for reading the story. I would really appreciate your thoughts on the story and if people like it, I'll continue it.
