Chapter 1: Slimy Supervillain

Soles scrape the cement, breath quickens, steady and fast pace. Even though she lacked the normal flow of oxygen, she easily pushed her way to the inner ring of the crowd. Her freckled face reflected the thrilling emotions of an adrenaline filled fight. Hopping eagerly, she pulled out her pencil and began writing a summary of the hero's fighting style.

That handsome man was known as Kamui Woods, and he was sending a seemingly unlimited supply of branches at a rampaging villain. The villain must've just debuted because Kamui was landing almost every attack. The Wood Hero was already preparing to use his special move. She grinned wider and muttered the attack's name as he shouted it,

"Preemptive Binding Lacquered Chain Prison!" She watched as his branches extended towards the villain in a swirling mass. The climactic scene was ripped to shreds as a humongous lady shot out of nowhere and kicked the villain to the ground. The kick sent the man flying into a pile of rubble, and it sent the spotlight over to the new hero who was calling herself Mt. Lady. The women seemed to have a gigantification quirk that allowed her to change size. Before she could stop herself, she muttered a question in curiosity.

"I wonder how she can navigate the city without crushing everything?" Her muttering didn't go unnoticed. A tall women inquired her with a few questions about her fangirlism, and she answered all of them with passionate ease. After finishing their conversation with an inspirational "I'm rooting for you!" Izuki stuffed her notebook away and sprinted for school. She was going to be late!

School zipped by in a flash and soon it was her last period. Entering the classroom, she slid into her normal seat. She glanced around and gave a consecutive groan. A group of bullies were eying her up. They would most certainly attack her after class, which meant another ruined day. The teacher's voice went to the back of her mind as she reviewed her notes from earlier and sketched a picture of Mt. lady in the margarin. Her attention shifted back to the front when she heard dreaded words,

"I hope you're all ready for the exams, we have a lot of work to do. Some of us more than others." He stared pointedly at Midoriya and let the rest of the students groan in irritation, but their teacher quickly ended it by slamming a stack of papers onto his desk while smiling.

"Just kidding! I know you all want to go into the hero courses!" The class cheered enthusiastically at his correct assumption. The teacher grinned widely and observed his pupils with pride.

"Yes, your quirks aren't bad. I expect many of you will exceed expectations." Several students gave dopey smirks of satisfaction, while others began showing off their quirks. Izuki's cheeks flushed in embarrassment. She prayed the teacher wouldn't single her out. The dread building in her chest grew when her rival put a well-muscled leg onto his desk and made a declaration,

"Yeah, all these extras are gonna become sidekicks at best, while I actually stand a chance of becoming a pro!" The teacher grimaced at his pupil's boldness.

"Ah Bakugou, you wanted to attend Yuuei, correct?" You certainly have the aptitude for it." Bakugou smirked in triumph. The teacher had fallen into an egoism trap. Izuki would die if this went on any longer.

"You'll see, I'll be the only one from this hellhole to be worth something. No one else can even compare!" Their teacher was obviously dying on the inside because his face was frozen in a cringe. In order to pull the show elsewhere he used his scapegoat and said the dreaded phrase.

"Midoriya, didn't you want to go to Yuuei too?" Everyone's heads whipped in her direction. Their eyes bore into her soul. She shrunk into her seat submissively while they all stared with overbearing looks and layered prejudices. The room suddenly erupted in laughter, and students began voicing their opinions obnoxiously.

"Does Yuuei even except quirkless trainees?"

"How does she expect to pass the exam when they have such a low acceptance rate?"

The comments ended abruptly when Bakugou leaped up onto her desk angrily. She flew from her seat in fear, and backed into the wall. Bakugou gave her a menacing glare,

"They would never except a loser like you Deku! Is this a desperate attempt to ruin my chances?!" The boy's red eyes were reflected through her green ones, achieving a kaleidoscope of emotions. He was daring her to contradict him. She shivered in fright and curled into the fetal position subconsciously.

"No! No! It, it's not l-like that Kacchan! I'm not trying to compete with you." Her stuttering only made things worse. Bakugou leaned in closer and growled,

"Stupid Deku! You could never compete with me!" Lucky for her, the bell rang before Katsuki could take it further. The spiky-haired teen stepped away from her, temporarily sated, and went to collect his things. Still shaking, she picked herself up off the floor and retreated to her desk.

Once most of the students disappeared, she pulled out her notebook to continue her study. Her reading however, was cut short when the book was snatched from her hands by a trio of smirking teenagers. The thieves skimmed the cover with their criticizing eyes and laughed hysterically.

"Hero Analysis for the Future, really?" He handed the paper booklet to Bakugou who took it happily.

"Of course Deku needs notes, otherwise she wouldn't even qualify as a person. Oh wait, she'll never do that because she's a D-E-K-U!" He gave a short and evil laugh that sprayed spittle in her face. Izuki cringed and attempted to grab her notebook.

"Give it back!" She desperately swiped for it again and again, while he teasingly held it just out of her reach. She was on the verge of tears.

"Even if I gave it back you'd never be a hero because you're just shitty Deku!" Sparks ignited on Bakugou's palms and his quirk enveloped her prized papers in a burst of flame. She screamed in shock and once again tried taking her notes, but her hands came back empty. Bakugou grinned wider at the sight of her agony, then he pulled back his arm and chucked the notebook out the window. Izuki watched helplessly as her prized possession faded into the distance. She felt rage engulf her for a split second, and she turned to face her bullies head on.

"I'll get you get for this Kacchan, you'll see!" Bakugou whipped his head in her direction.

"If you really want to be a hero so bad, why don't you jump off a bridge and hope for a quirk in your next life?" He finished the cruel statement and started to leave with his slightly shocked lackies following after him. Izuki opened her mouth to reply, but stopped when Bakugou turned back around with his palms up.

"Got something to say?" He tilted his head daringly and set a threatening explosion off in his hand. Her bones shook in fright and she looked down in compliance. There wasn't any reason to provoke him, as she couldn't defend herself if he tried attacking her with more than words. Satisfied with their threat, Bakugou and company finally left.

Izuki sighed in relief and morose. She'd probably never see that notebook again, maybe it was for the best. She waited a few minutes, to be safe, and then slowly shuffled out of school and onto a peaceful looking pathway. She needed to clear her head after that traumatic encounter.

She dragged her feet through the sand collected on the path, leaving a trail of grains in her wake. She was so distracted watching her feet, that she bumped into the concrete edge of a koi pond. She grunted as the pain sent shockwaves through her body. She stumbled forward, but managed to catch herself by gripping the affected leg securely. Wincing in pain, she regained her balance and resumed her walk. She stopped when she caught a glimpse of something in her peripheral vision. All of her hard work, reduced to fish food; she almost smiled at the irony.

She took her notebook from the water and dried it with the edge of her skirt. Pieces of the pages crumbled off from improper care. She admired the burnt cover and sighed.

"Maybe he's right, I'll never be a hero." She tucked the book safely under her arm and slowly made her way home. She kept her head lowered as tears pooled at the bottom of her eyelids. The drops splattered onto the tips of her swinging shoes. Busy watching the falling droplets, Izuki didn't hear the greasy slop of slime tailing her.

Her mouth was the first to be covered. She scraped desperately at the muck to no avail. She'd run out of air soon if she couldn't get this stupid thing off her. She tried once again to pull the coat of slime from her body with no success. Her oxygen was dangerously decreasing. Her arms fell to her side in defeat, she was useless, she was Deku.

A new fire lit her soul. There was no way she'd let this villain use her body to terrorize the lives of the innocent. Going against the will of her body, she started struggling through the slime again. Why'd she have to be quirkless? She was completely useless. In a panic she sifted through every important memory she had in life. Her thoughts rested on her amazing mom, Inko. There were only a few times in Izuki's life were her mom had infractured. One of them came back to her.

…

Her four-year old self formed in her memory. She had her eyes wide and a gigantic grin on her face. She bounced from pent up energy and excitement.

"Mom, Play it again! Please, just one more time?" Izuki used her signature puppy-dog eyes and pouted, while silently begging for a yes. Her irresistible cuteness made it impossible to say no, so Inko pulled up her favorite video.

The screen showed a small group of villains huddled together to share their evil plans in whispers. The group called themselves Detrimental Fury and their ultimate goal had been to destroy anything and everything that "got in their way." They all had effective quirks with the easiest use being to reduce things to rubble, but their strength was nothing against Izuki's number one hero that would soon make their debut in this video.

Suddenly, a blur of tan dropped directly into the middle of the unsuspecting group. The villains were caught off guard when they saw their assailant in all her glory. Jaws reached the floor at the sight set before them. A sexy woman stood, smirking, at the men surrounding her. She wore what was equivalent to a bra and underwear. The R rated hero Midnight shifted her hair away from her excited eyes.

"See something you like?" One villain actually had the audacity to nod his approval. As soon as his head moved to make the non-verbal gesture, a long black whip smacked him across the nose. Midnight smiled sadistically, pleasure lighting her eyes.

"It's fun to take care of perverts like you!" Still smiling, she faced the rest of the crew, cracking her whip threateningly through the air. The next few moments were a mixture of martial arts, whipping, and using her quirk. In the span of a minute she had all the villains incapacitated in a heap. She smirked maliciously at the news anchor.

"This is Midnight telling you to stay safe kids!" She ended the cheesy message with a salute to the camera, and she hopped away over the rooftops.

The video stopped and Izuki squealed in appreciation of her hero. Nowadays, she wore a less revealing costume, but her tactics, inspiration, and skill remained her own. Midnight was one of the top ten heroes and there was nobody Izuki idolized more. The memory of her toddler self was broken by an even stronger one.

…

She raised her tiny feet as high as they went, watching as the leaves followed with graceful ease. They danced and spiraled around her in an autumn dress. She carelessly kicked a large pile of brownish leaves into the sky. Her hand went over her mouth to hide her pleasure.

"I'm sorry Kacchan, I should've been paying attention." The ash blonde boy turned with anger in his eyes.

"You better be, I don't wanna have to use my quirk on you!" Izuki halted her stroll, fearful of retaliation from her friend. Bakugou registered the look on her face and sighed,

"It's okay Uki-chan, I'd never use my quirk on you." He placed his hand reassuringly on her shoulder. Izuki looked into his joyous eyes and smiled.

"Someday I'll get a quirk as good as yours Kacchan." Her smile widened, stretching enough to overlap all of her features. The tiny Bakugou chuckled and smiled back.

"You know that's not possible Uki." He pulled back and lit up his palms teasingly. Izuki's small, childish self dissippated until she once again became fourteen.

…

The blob of slime still enmeshed her. She was still useless while on suppressants, at least that's what she believed. A single tear slid from her cheek and splattered onto the revolving slimeball. The villain snorted in disgust,

"Why don't you just give up already little girly? This won't hurt a bit." A slimy hand crawled over her face until she wore a mask of sickly green. Something clicked in her mind and her survival instincts went into overdrive. The binds holding her began to crack. No, no, no, no, NO! This wasn't possible! She was useless because she'd just taken her second dose of pills for the day. She shouldn't be able to access her quirk. She wasn't allowed to access her quirk.

Her confusion and panic worked against her, sending another resonation into her mental chains. Power flowed through the fracture until it coursed through her entirety. Her veins changed to a deep, black color to signify the use of her quirk. She finally unleashed her wrath onto the writhing slime. The villain screamed in agony and dropped her abruptly. The slime twitched painfully as its nerves slowly burnt out. It was left an empty shell upon the ground, cowering in the corner of an abandoned alley. Izuki watched the creature. Pity and regret filled her eyes.

"It's okay Mr. Slime, you won't be able to feel pain anymore. You won't be able to feel anything." She inched towards her fearful assailant to comfort him, only to remember he wouldn't be able to feel her comfort anyways. She quickly reassured herself by reviewing the fact that this dude was a villain. He hurt and manipulated people, so now she needed a way for her to turn him in to the police without them finding out about the illegal use of her quirk. Gathering confidence, she placed a hand on the slime and whispered a threat,

"I'm letting you go this time little slime, but if I see you again I'll take more than just your feelings. I'll have to fry your brain as well." She cringed internally at how real and scary her words just sounded. She didn't really know how to control her quirk, but she prayed the bluff and the slime's fear would be enough.

The blob shrunk away from her touch. He knew that the numbness he currently had was gifted by the young lady in front of him, so he took the threat seriously. His mix of fear and instinct forced him to comply. He bobbed his head in agreement. He'd do anything to get away from the monster crouching before him. Izuki swerved away from the cowardly villain and marched home.

AN: I know a lot is the same, but also different? I tried to make it my own while sticking to the BNHA plot structure. I will continue trying to do that(while throwing some major differences in there every once and a while, it is an AU after all). Thanks for reading!
