AN: Felt like writing a fanfic after all these years using this site. Let me know what you think!

"No...I can't in good conscience admit that you can be a hero without a quirk. Pros are always risking their lives to fight villains. If you don't have the strength the do the same then... I'm sorry, you can't be a hero." Toshinori Yagi, a shriveled up blonde man, admitted to the young green-haired boy in front of him.

Izuku felt his entire world shattering at those words. Everything he dreamed about every night while going to bed was just destroyed by a few sentences uttered by the man that he looked up to more than anyone else, All Might.

"If you still aspire to save people...why not become a Police Officer? Villain custody is often thankless work but, it too is worthy of praise...you have to be realistic about what you can do, kid" Yagi walked past him.

"You have a lot to think about. I need to get this sludge villain to the authorities...I wish you the best" Toshinori reached into his pocket to make sure he still had the soda bottle he had filled the sludge villain in before stepping into the stairway to make his way out of the building.

Izuku simply collapsed to his knees on the rooftop 'I can't be a hero...even All Might said it...what am I supposed to do now?'

It's best you give up

I'm so sorry Izuku

'All my life I just wanted to be a hero. I always thought I could somehow do it even without being quirkless. Everyone always said I'd never be able to do it...but even All Might...even he rejected it.' Izuku clenched his fists.

'THIS ISN'T FAIR' he punched the ground.

'Why me?' he stared up at the sky. Dark clouds had started to crowd around the sky above him. Looked as if it was about to rain

USELESS NERD. IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE A HERO WHY DON'T YOU JUST JUMP OFF A ROOF AND HOPE YOU GET A QUIRK IN THE NEXT LIFE.

Izuku couldn't help but recall Bakugo's words earlier that day and gazed at the edge of the rooftop he was on.

tap tap tap

He didn't know how long he was there, just staring at the edge of the rooftop. When the rain started to fall he barely even registered it.

Slowly rising from the ground, Izuku slowly approached the edge of the rooftop.

'I can never be a hero without a quirk... it's all I wanted to do...I don't know what to do anymore.'

You need to be realistic

Izuku sniffled as a tear fell from his eye, walking even closer to the edge.

You can't be a hero

Izuku grit his teeth.

BOOM

A flash of lightning followed the crash of thunder. Suddenly a downpour of rain came crashing down at him.

Izuku jolted back at the sound. Suddenly finding himself at the edge of the roof.

His eyes widened in shock and he took a step back 'No... that's... that's not it' Izuku took a deep breath and sighed.

'Can't believe Bakugo really got into my head like that...' he shook his head and lightly smacked his cheeks.

'I need to go home...now' Izuku glanced at his watch and noticed it was almost eight 'What!? How long have I been here?'

The green-haired boy started to lightly jog his way towards the door All Might had used some time ago. Placing his hand on the handle he was about to open the door when-

BANG

Jumping up in surprise at the sound of the thunder, he stared up into the sky 'It really started to pour...I need to get out of here now. The forecast didn't even mention anything about rain tonight.'

Watching another flash of lightning split the sky, Izuku couldn't help but wonder how cool it would be to have a quirk that let him control lightning.

'I would be an insanely strong hero if I could do that, huh?" He thought morosely.

CRACKLE

'Huh?!' Izuku furrowed his brow as he stared up into the sky. He watched in amazement as bolts of lightning seemed to collect into a singular point above him.

KKRKRKCKCKCKRKKLE

The lightning started to circle around a small as it grew bigger and bigger.

'Is this someone's quirk? I was just thinking about that... it's not...me...is it?' Izuku couldn't help but slightly hope.

The ring of lightning started to grow and Izuku's ears started to ring as a loud buzzing sound started to burst outwards.

Hesitantly, Izuku raised his right hand upwards towards the sky and watched in amazement as the lightning seemed to crackle with more intensity and started to even shift through multiple colors.

Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple. The sky flashed with every color as Izuku watched in amazement.

'Is this...really me?' he felt hope filling his heart again for the first time today since he was saved by All Might.

Izuku clenched his fist with his raised hand.

BANG

The sky flashed green before the lightning exploded and zoomed directly towards him!

"W-WAIT!" Izuku's eyes widened.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM

Nearly all of Musutafu jumped from where they were as they saw the largest bolt of green lightning in the history of lightning bolts slam against a building.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" A scream rippled outwards just as the bolt of lightning fizzled out and lit the building on fire.

As the noise died down, sirens were immediately heard as emergency vehicles rushed towards the now burning building.

As for Izuku, there was no trace of him on the rooftop. All the firemen had found after putting out the fire was the burnt remains of a notebook titled "Hero Analysis for the Future #13".

AN: First (mini) chapter done! Let me know what you think! I started writing this casually and have a few ideas of where the fic would go, but I am open to hearing any sort of criticism or ideas you would like to see. Although, I do already have the paring in mind. Nejire x Izuku! It won't be a harem if anyone is wondering. I've grown really fond of that paring and felt that it really needs to be written more - so here's my go at it.

See you at the next chapter!
