I have always admired heroes for their bravery ,for their righteousness ,and their willingness to fight evil and oh yes their their quirks like fire manipulation , textile manipulation , super strength ,super speed .....and ...oh dear I'm mumbling again.
What I'm trying to say is I also admired their strength and then I thought to myself once who's the strongest in the world to that I always answered it has to be ALL MIGHT right like he could beat anyone with one punch and so I was satisfied but oh it wasn't so simple.
It would take years before I realised the true answer to that question a truth that shook the whole world forever. The truth of the 13. Until then I remained blissfully unaware.

'On an empty playground in musutafu ,Japan 3 boys corner a lone child unable to defend himself that child is me izuku midoriya.'
"Ka..kacchan pl..please stop"
"Oh shut up you quirkless deku and stay down heh"
'And the one whose beating me my bestfriend kacchan or katsuki bakugo and is he beating me because I'm quirkless and quirkless can never be heroes is what everyone says and so does kacchan.'
"Look at you your so pathetic no quirks and no strength and you still think you can be a hero"
"Bu...but ka..kach-"
"Shut up deku I don't need your help not anyone's help especially you quirkless "
'Then I saw kacchan with the other two kids who were my friends too as we all followed kacchan cause he was amazing ,so confident ,I just couldn't bring myself to fight back and even if I did I couldn't beat him I....I.....I.'
"HEY !"
'Huh who who's shouting? '
"Huh what do u-"
'Huh why did kacchan go quiet and then I look towards where he was looking and then I saw him ...no it standing around 2 and half meters it wasn't the height that made us quiet.'
"Why don't you bully someone who can fight back firecracker hahahahahha"
'No it was the sheer weight of his presence it felt like I was standing before All Might he was covered in beetle like armour wearing a Hawaiian tshirt with a can of soda? But what really terrified me was the eyes those glowing bright azure eyes it felt like looking at a dragon .'
"Who are you freak!!!!?"
"Wow now calling me a freak firecracker how uncultured hhahaha"
"Sh....Shut up you freak take this!!!"
'I saw kacchan jumping towards that ....that MAN! Yes man ....with his quirk activated and created a small blast to his face it hit him straight to face but.'
"Hah! Take that you freak noone can beat me cause I'll be the number 1 hero!"
"Ha haha haahahahahahahahahh!"
'And then he flicked kacchan with his fingers just a flick and that was all he took to beat all three kids without even touching them and they weren't even injured just unconscious.'
"Wow kids these days sure are fiesty hahahah i like it now about you kid?"
'He then looked at me I was scared I was horrified he looked so scary he was covered in a shining beetle like exosel.... exoskeleton yes exoskeleton with a tail that was as long as he was tall or even longer and a horn on his head as tall as me I.....I .....I someone '
"Hey "

' i slowly turned around and looked him in the eye and ....and he looked kind how?'
"Hey kid your covered in bruises let me help you"

"There that should bout do it "
"Um....th.... thankyou um"
"Fly call me fly kid haha"
'he then proceeded to pat me on the head and then lifted me and sat me on a nearby bench and then when to kacchan and the rest and treated them as well with the same care as when he was treating me.'
"Um mist...mister fly are you a hero"
'i asked him quietly as I wanted to ask him something, something that's very important to me'
"A hero me hahhahahahahahahh"
"Hu...huh?!"
"No no no kid i ain't no hero like why do you ask"
"It's.. it's cause..yo..you are so ...um"
"What ? Hmmmn"
'i was kinna disappointed then that he wasn't a hero cause I wanted to ask him if I could be a hero without a quirk and so I decided to stay quiet but he noticed '
"Come on kid tell me you wanted to ask me something right go ahead ask away"
'i .....i... I look at him and I saw the most beautiful smile in the world second only to my parents and all might's and I felt save looking at that smile ,so I asked'
"Mister fly can I be a hero even without a quirk can I still save people even if I don't have powers can I ....can i ..... Can I smile just like all might!"
"...hmmmmn"
"Um.....mist-"
"HAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!"
"Huh?"
"Of course you can save lifes even without a quirk "
'what i....i didn't know what to say then for nearly 2 years everyone told me to forget about it that I couldn't be a hero that I couldn't save anyone but here was mister fly i don't know what to say'
" Man you are funny kid tell me why do you think a quirkless can't be a hero?"
"I....but everyone-"
"Kid i said why do YOU think a quirkless can't be a hero"
"I don't know "
"Here kid let me tell you something being a quirkless doesn't mean you can't be a hero it just means you have to work harder than others and be bravery than others and most importantly be strong enough to be kind that's a hero"
'as I look at him I couldn't help but feel tears emerging from my eyes cause all my life i wanted to be a hero but after the doctor told me I was quirkless I lost all hope ....I just couldn't '
"Kid you can be hero anyone can be hero all you need is a will ,a will to go forward where no one else will that's a hero so kid if you wanna be a hero work hard "
'And then I couldn't hold it anymore and so I cried I cried with all my soul with tears of happiness yah this was what I wanted to hear yah this was what I wanted just someone who could tell me my dreams wasn't meaningless that I could be a hero '
"HAHAHHAAHA look at you crying like a little puppy kid ...let it out ....let it all out"
'and I did I let it out, I let it all out my sadness, my happiness, my pain, my joy, my 2 years of suffering under everyone elsei let it all out'
"Cry all you want kid even heroes are people...hmmnnn"
'after a while I stopped crying though I was still sniffling I was okay now '
"Hey kid why do you want to be a hero"
"Because I want to be just like all might he's the coolest he saves everyone with a smile on his face one day I want to be just like him and make everyone smile as well as I save them!"
"Is that so...."
" Um is something wrong?"
"Nothing...maybe ..hehe"
"?"
"Yah maybe you will be a hero just like all might not you will surpass all might and save millions "
"Yah!"
"And maybe finally stop the 13...."
"Yah...Wait the who!?"
'as I looked back at mister fly he was gone except for the bandages and unconscious kacchan and his friends he disappeared like as if he never was here '
" Hello mister fly where are you ?hello!?"
