Summary: Izuku may or may not be a Being from a different world destined to fight The Darkness.

Oh.

And he may be the reason why the people of this world have Quirks, but that's not important. Look, a serial killer, and a skeleton, Mama can we keep them?

Beyond Stars and Moon (Title May Change)

Sometimes Izuku is lonely, don't get him wrong, he has Mama, who is the bestest Mama in the world! But sometimes, sometimes, he felt like there should be more, he should be surrounded by more people then Mama. More laughter, more voices, a person in every room, constant movement, blending together in a jovial warm chaos.

He doesn't tell his Mama he's lonely though, he didn't want her to think she isn't enough.

He's six, Quirkless, still lonely, when he suddenly isn't.

The man is super-duper tall, and scared Kacchan away.

Izuku is pretty sure it's because of his face, eyes looked at Izuku with something gentle, sad, old and familiar. The man smiled, it's a funny looking smile, and Izuku thought: "Oh, you found me."

He brought the man home to Mama, little fingers gripping bigger ones, his smile bright. Mama is alarmed, then Izuku smiled at her and everything was alright.

~.~

Izuku can see a lot of things, people, animals. People who are not people, animals who are not animals, can see in between and further. Sometimes, he'll hear a song, soft in his ears, and clear. It doesn't have any words, but he hummed the words all the same.

~.~

Chizome, though welcomed into the house, came through his bedroom window most of the time.

Mama will scold him, before shoo'ing him to the table for food, lively talking and joyous laughter.

~.~

When he and Chizome are alone, they talk, not in Japanese or even English, but something ancient. It flowed off he's tongue like water.

~.~

He is Quirkless, and teased for it by the other children in his school, Kacchan liked to call him Deku a lot.

Useless.

It hurt, but not for the reasons they seem to believe.

~.~

Sometimes, he'll dream, of green, sunshine, and crashing waves. Cheerful voices that whispered stories, legends, secrets. He'll dream of a world that felt like home.

~.~

The day he was diagnosis as Quirkless, and they were home from the doctor, he asked his Mama if he could be a Hero without a Quirk.

His Mama cried, and told him she was sorry.

In her arms, Izuku said nothing, as a voice, familiar, but foreign said: "Just because you don't have what we have, doesn't mean you can't?"

A few days later, a new notebook is added.

~.~

Animals like him.

When he's in the park, they'll come up to him, and say hi. Or, if he's walking with Mama or Chizome, they'll follow like little ducklings until Izuku waved good-bye.

A lot of them love to gossip.

Crows will come in through his open window, and leave gifts. Cats did it too, but he had to tell them to stop because Mama isn't fond of dead things.

Some like to hide stuff in his hair.

He doesn't mind.

One day he asked why they like him so much, and they said: "You smell like home."

Chizome, and the squirrels declared war on each other.

So far, the squirrels are winning.

~.~

All Might is his favorite, he's everyone's favorite, even Chizome. Why wouldn't he be? Sure, all the other Heroes are great, but there is just something about All Might, something bright. Brighter than his hair, or that big fearless smile of his. And loud too, so loud it often overlapped that boisterous laughter.

There's a reason for it, but Izuku doesn't know why, or maybe, he just doesn't remember it.

~.~

In this world, Chizome is not a good man.

"That's okay," Izuku told him over ice-cream, "you're still mine. But you can't do bad stuff anymore, kay?"

Chizome, with his double scoop, chocolate sprinkle cone in hand, nodded, "Okay."

Then he stole some of Izuku's ice-cream.

~.~

Izuku will look at the world, at the people and their Quirks, and think, they shouldn't have it.

He knew it was his fault.

~.~

One day, when he's eight, Chizome brought someone with him, not a boy, but not yet a man either, dark hair, eyes blue as flames and patchy purple skin in some places. Izuku smiled, and said: "You are mine."

His name was Dabi

This time when he brought Dabi home to Mama, she took one look at him, then ushered him inside, sat him down, and shoved food into bewildered hands.

Izuku watched it all with a soft giggle.

~.~

Sometimes Izuku will look at Kacchan and think: "You will fall first"

~.~

When Chizome read through one of his books, he chuckled.

"Some things don't change."

Izuku, comfortable in his lap, titled his head, he suppose that's not too bad a thing.

Chizome turned to a page, "My head is not that big."

~.~

Sometime between seven and nine, he started waking up in different places, he had a feeling he was looking for something.

Chizome always found him, and brought him home.

They don't tell Mama.

~.~

Izuku is his third name.

He doesn't remember the other two.

~.~

The first time Dabi heard him mumble, the look his face had Chizome laughing, and Mama giggling.

"Somehow," he said ruffling curls when Izuku finally stopped, and his freckled cheeks go slightly red in embarrassment, "that's not the weirdest thing I'll end up dealing with because of you."

Izuku smiled, and then demanded to be cuddled.

No, most likely not.

~.~

Kacchan is usually content to calling him names, and some shoving, but one day, he saw the boy and two others bullying another kid.

"We, are the Wall."

He stopped him.

Kacchan used his Quirk on him for the first time, and it hurt.

There was pain, far more intense than it should be, hurting something deeper, stronger, yet so vulnerable.

He gained his first set of burns, and bruises.

He cried.

When Kacchan and the other boys left, Izuku is alone with the boy, whose' crying now and hiccuping sorry over, and over. Though he was hurting, and his tears gone and eyes red, Izuku smiled, and hugged him, "It's okay."

Because he was the Wall.

When he's walking home, he wondered should he tell them, he looked at one of his stinging burns, Mama will cry. Chizome and Dabi will certainly be angry.

"Our scars are for being the Wall my love."

He knew the owner of that voice, the words as familiar as his own name, but…. he couldn't see the face, and those words, there's something else to them, something he's forgetting.

He doesn't tell them.

~.~

When he's not looking beyond, he's watching the people, them, and their quirks. Everything seen and found is added to pages of his latest journal.

The content concerned Dabi a little bit.

Dabi told Chizome.

Chizome just shrugged and fed him more of Mama's cookies.

~.~

One day, he woke up in a classroom, it's bigger than the one in his school, with clear windows that let the stream of moonlight in. He doesn't remember how he got out, but when he's at the front gate, Chizome is there waiting for him, quietly carrying him home, green eyes watching the building fade into the distance.

He'll wake up in the classroom about three more times.

~.~

When he's ten, Izuku found a boy, and decided to keep him.

"That is not how that works," Dabi said when Izuku told him, before looking at the other boy Izuku managed to lure in with food.

It's always food.

That's how Chizome got him.

The boy was mostly likely Izuku's age, purple hair that seem to defy gravity and eyes that looked tired.

He's name was Hitoshi.

~.~

Sometimes, Kacchan will look at him in puzzlement, Izuku will look back, and all he saw was the boy falling.

~.~

Izuku woke up in the classroom, and there was a whale-man staring down at him. Izuku blinked, yawned, and then reached out for him. The whale-man blinked before reaching down and picking him up out the chair.

"And how did you get in here?" The whale man asked as he settled the small body so that Izuku could lay his head on a shoulder.

He smelt like the ocean.

Yawning, Izuku nuzzled the man's shoulder, dozing as he was carried out the room. He's sure he closed his eyes because the next thing he knew he was looking at people he's supposed to know but his sleepy filled brain can't figure it out at the moment.

"It's a kid?!"

Someone is shushed, yawning again, Izuku snuggled closer to the whale-man; sleepy eyes watching as the people talked in hushed voices.

"We're going to have to call his parents."

"Chizome."

Eyes looked his way, one looked sleeper then he felt, smiling, Izuku spoke again, "My Chizome is waiting for me, he's gonna take me back to Mama."

"…..Where is he?"

Izuku rubbed his eyes, "At the gate."

There is silence, before someone walked a little bit a ways, Izuku found himself dozing, not minding the curious looks aimed at him. Eventually, and vaguely is he aware of being carried away.

He's a little bit more awake when they arrive at the gate.

Chizome waiting for them, hooded, the one with the tired eyes gave him a suspicious look, wanting to go home. Izuku wiggled until he was put down by the whale-man, he stumbled over to his Chizome. He's picked up, and they are leaving after Chizome gives a vague explanation and quick goodbye, over the man's shoulder Izuku waved goodbye.

He'll see them again.

~.~

Before Dabi, Izuku is still waking up in places not his home, when he stumbled upon a teenager. His skin is unhealthy pale, hair is light blue-grey, limp, and kind of messy, eyes red behind it with chapped lips. Izuku looked at him and thought: "Not yet."

Izuku smiled, and shared his cookies, the teenager is surprised, but ate them.

No one can resist Mama's cookies.

Izuku will one day find out how she made them taste so good. One day.

They meet once a month to share Mama's cookies.

~.~

There is a beach nearby.

When he goes there, everything is loud, and there's a hurt that is a dull pain, easy enough to ignore. Izuku stripe down to his swimming trunks and entered the water, he floated on his back for a moment, watching the sky before going under.

Underneath, he heard and saw much different things, he could look further if he wanted, but doesn't.

Its nice down here.

Chizome will always come with him, watch as Izuku stripe down to his swimming trunks and entered the water, then he'll set about hacking away at the trash there.

Eventually Dabi will come with them too, mostly out of boredom, and some delight in being able to burn things without consequences.

By the time Izuku found Hitoshi, the beach is cleared, and all three watch as Izuku made his way into the water.

"Why does he do that?" Hitoshi asked.

"It's quiet down there." Chizome answered.

~.~

Something is missing.

It's something he's always aware of.

He doesn't know what it is. Just that it is the reason he'll sometimes wake up somewhere else, When he's standing in front of a tall skeleton of a man he thinks: "Oh, there you are."
