THE WORSHIP OF STARS

Izumi's Pov

Sometimes it's hard to admit that not everyone is born equal, Some are born with a silver spoon. Others have looks that put them above others, while some people deal with having a shitty life. Yet still people learn to prevail and overcome odds to lead a life that they've always wanted to have. That's what the green haired child always believed in when dealing with life. Izumi always had a very hard time with people while she tried to be outgoing. She was her mothers daughter and still very shy. 

Her father was barely around to the point she doesn't even remember what he looks like. She did have a very attentive mother who always made sure she wanted for nothing. While she tried to be a happy child she still had her own things she had to deal with. Everyone started to gain the quirks at 4 yet she didn't. When her best friend at the time Bakugo, were together  playing Hero and Villians(of course Izumi was on the hero side).  Though she always called Bakugo, Kaachan, when his powers exploded for the first time trying to save himself from falling instantly he was praised. No matter what he could do no wrong, he could be seen stealing people would look the other way. Always saying that he would be a great hero.

  Not to be out done Izumi begged her mom to know when her quirk would come. Her mother always reassured her to no end that it would come in. So day after day she waited and nothing happened. Eventually when she turned 5 her mother took her to the hospital. Sadly it was her greatest fear she was truly born quirkless.

The bullying began as soon as everyone found out that she truly had no powers. Being quirkless was a curse she wouldn't wish on anyone. Her dad faded from memory as if he was ashamed of it. Her mother tried to put on a brave face, to give her hope that one day she could become a hero. Izumi knew in her heart that her mother gave up on her being a hero. Bakugo started to call Izumi Deku, he's using it mockingly in the modern sense of the word, implying that Izumi is good for nothing. That she will forever be a useless Deku.

With Kaachan leading the charge everyone picked on her. Stole her clothes, books, and even would leave her with black eyes if she dared to fight back. So she took all the ridicule because she knew in her heart she could be better. Everytime a new kid would transfer no matter how nice she would be they would end up leaving. Rather it's due to me being quirkless or Bakugo making sure no one is around me. Sadly she endured it because she wanted her to be happy, especially since Bakugo's mother just happened to be her moms best friend.

Instead of letting it get her down she started to concentrate on heroes. Every day she studied every single hero video she could find(although All Might is her all time favorite to watch). This helped learn how to read opponents, and deduce how quirks work very quickly. Not to say she let her schooling slack because she was the smartest kid in the school for a time. Making sure to keep top grades until she turned 10. A child named Oliver Kanato moved into the neighborhood, which was actually funny because he moved in next door to her.

He was robotic in execution only talking if he had to, and honestly mostly keeping to himself. She admired how when Kaachan tried to yell at him or do anything he would ignore it. Oliver always made time to help people when needed or pick up trash. So she started to emulate him. It was very interesting seeing the smiles on peoples faces when she always offered a hand to help people. Hopefully in time Izumi will be able to talk her mom into getting a membership(fat chance of that happening).

Years went by and Izumi still tried to help everyone she could. Sometimes it worked out in her favor other times people seem to take offense. Though today she had a really happy pep in her step. Not only is she finally applying to the U.A. High school, and best of all she also heard that Oliver is going to be joining as well. She couldn't help but hope to have the ability to get into the school together. Oh, she also got to see a new hero debut today before school. So she was able to get input on another quirk. Though Mt.Lady was very very sexual which is fine it'll make guys more interested in her. Finally making her way to her desk she sat down and started going over how the quirk could be used. 

In the distance, a voice screamed, "AHHHHHH YOU DAMN DEKU!!!"

Three youngsters quickly marched their way over to her desk. The leader was her ex best friend Kaachan who had small explosions coming out of his hands. Izumi's body began to shake uncontrollably, and she began to get scared. She could tell by his demeanor that he was very angry with her. His hands were soon upon her desk, and began to leave an imprint of his palm due to his quirk. The classroom was unconcerned, with some actively encouraging him to send her to the nurse's office again. Izumi didn't know why he was pissed but tears began to roll down her eyes as everyone seemed to just be against her. Except for one youngster, who wasn't here yet. Which sucks because he would've spoken up by now or said something in defense of Izumi which in turn would've pissed Kaachan off.

"You're a damn extra why would you think that you apply to the U.A. High School.", this was my dream that you took from me. You sit there and pretend like you're better than me", Kaachan yelled in her face.

"Ka.. ka.. ka.. kachan." "I want to be a hero," Izumi stated shakily. 

"YOU SHITTY NERD, DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO JOIN THE "HERO PROGRAM?" said Kaachan. Noticing the book on the desk he took it from her without permission.

"Kaachan give that back", Izumi stated firmly.

"Oh, finally stand up for yourself for once. Kind of surprising since your friend is always having your back", Kaachan mocked. He kept the notebook in his hand and blew it up throwing it out the window. 

Izumi let out a gasp and tried to rush to the window yet it was too late. Her notebook was in the water and you could see burnt edges.  She felt nothing but frustration that began to overwhelm her fear of Kaachan.  Yet she knew even if she stood up for herself it wouldn't have mattered she would be punished and he let go. Sometimes life can be fair for a quirkless person like her.

Pov Change

Thomas's pov

Oliver Kanto was a very strange kid, welp not so long ago he wasn't actually a kid. He once was a man named Thomas Baker. Thomas was 28 years old and had the world at his fingers. He had a good paying job, a beautiful fiance. Finally found friends that became as close to family to him. He had a brother who was going to be his best man at the wedding. Yes his life might've started shitty but it grew to be the best life he could have.

One day he woke up thinking he was going to have a normal day, sadly it wasn't. His legs suddenly didn't touch the ground. His room was changed along with his fiance sadly not being right next to him. All he could do was cry the entire day as a person who called him Oliver came into the room to ask him what was wrong. It made me even more sad knowing that his real mom was dead. He was eight years old and on that day he found out that he wasn't in his world anymore. His head was hurting him the entire time as memoires upon memories of who Oliver Kanato was.

The first year was trying to get used to not being Thomas Baker and that was the hard part even though he still looked the same. He was essentially different and he knew it because first off his father was someone important. He was the head of some business yet he never got any true details. For some reason he always felt something off about his father though he couldn't even explain why. It just felt as if something was off about him, and even if he got some of Oliver's memories there were still some he couldn't access.

One day after his private classes were over he was sitting next to his new mom(who's name he never truly got) and on the news suddenly he All Might popped up. It was a shock to find out that he was sent to the My Hero Academia world. The world with a shitty Mc and dick bag of a rival that everyone defended. Out of all the anime they could've picked they decided to send him here of all places. The worst part about everything was the fact he was born quirkless. It all makes sense why he was never allowed to go to school. Even when his father was around he always seemed sad and had a slight anger in his eyes. Oliver might've been sad or even depressed yet Thomas didn't care.

Thomas enjoyed learning by himself, and never having to want for anything. It took forever last time in life to build all the up. It seems he was blessed in this life to already have more than before. Though he was kind of sad to be alone without his fiance, truthfully he can only hope she isn't in too much pain for him to not be there. If Thomas wasn't with his mom, or busy with his instructors. He could be seen always writing in a notebook that he kept a lock on. He could rarely be seen without that notebook in his hands, always with him besides when he was in his self defense classes. Even then it wasn't too far out of sight for him. It was the only lifeline he had, and while he wasn't too sure what time he arrived. He wrote down everything he could remember when it came to MHA.

So that's how two years passed until one day when he was coming out of a class to find his father with a heartbreaking look upon his face. That's how Thomas found out his mother died in a fatal car crash. After that everything was a blur and his father began to close himself off more and more. One day during one of his lessons his head felt like it was going to crack open, and passed out. Thomas couldn't remember anything from that day, but he woke up in the hospital. That's how he learned he had a quirk. 

From there he spent part of the year training to hone his quirk that was based on sound frequency. It was interesting because it had more uses than one would actually suspect though he tried to hide as much as he could from his father. Thomas discovered he could emit sounds at different levels. He could see that everyone had different frequencies, even twins who felt different from him. Not only could he make a shield but if he had the proper time he could in some cases reverse a person's quirk if he was synced into the sound that they made. He could also heal in moderation and he was hoping to grow that aspect even more. The best part was he had the ability to scream out of his mouth. Truthfully it was his favorite way to use his new found quirk. 

Thomas was easily able to learn how to keep his quirk in check though he sometimes sent out sound vibrations so he could always keep track of where people were. After six months Thomas finally had an idea on how to progress his plans. Calling his father(who of course was away on business) and asked if he could find Inko Midoriya. WIth his fathers connection it didn't take too long before he was able to locate them. Then Thomas spent a week convincing his father to allow him to rent the apartment next time. Using the excuse of friends and wanting to go to school his father relented.

Since then it's been six years of training his body and coming up with ways to get All Might's help. He wanted to go home and just hope his loved ones didn't forget about him. He has nothing left here since his new mother died, not unlike his first mother. Thomas, now 16, was running late because he stayed up working on finding the frequency this world runs on. Then he could learn to open up portals around making it so much easier to be a hero if he could just show up to a location. Sort of like the person from a television he once watched on his original earth.

Walking through the relatively small school he was quickly trying to make his way into his homeroom. Climbing up the stairs he could already hear Bakugo yelling.  Thomas could  only sigh that he's getting enough of having to deal with him. Today he could hear the line that knew today was the day he would meet All Might. 

"Give up on going to U.A Deku your quirkless extra. Maybe if you wish for a quirk, then take a swan dive off the roof. Then in your next life you won't be such a Deku."Bakugo taunted.

Thomas would usually come defend Izumi, but today needed to happen so not only could Izumi be the hero she wanted. So he could also get All Might attention for help in finally being able to go home. If he didn't need to keep it secret from his father he would've gone to go find the Shields. For now he could wait, it wouldn't be much longer now until he could meet them.

Thomas went about his usual school day, ignoring people doing work. Helping a few people where he could as Bakugo and his goons terrorized everyone. Deku stayed quiet for today looking down. Soon school ended and Thomas made his way quickly out the door. He knew Deku was already out there somewhere so eventually he would be able to start his plans. A sudden thump could be heard. Thomas glanced down as he saw green hair and realized he ran right into the person he was looking for.

NAME - Izuku Midoriya

AGE - 16

QUIRK - NONE

Bio - Dreams to be a Hero 

Thomas quickly helped him up, grasping Deku's hand it felt like something was different about him. Thomas couldn't figure it out . It's been awhile since he thought of the anime let alone which character looks like, yet Izuku just seems so different. Deku still has his usual wild hair and freckles; he just seems more feminine? While Deku stammered out apologies, Thomas quickly picked up the stuff on the ground and handed him his bag. Thomas also noticed that Deku already picked up the burnt notebook from the water. The story is still going as planned. 

I started walking the path home, hoping he would follow me. Which he actually is, soon we'll be under the bridge where it begins.Deku stayed flustered right next to me the entire time, as if he wanted to say something, yet couldn't bring himself to. 

"I..I.. thank you for being kind to me", He stammered out before turning bright red and muttering nonsensical things. Thomas just gave a small smile and kept walking forward. 

Now matching strides Izuku quickly began to talk about a bunch of things, oddly the voice was more effeminate than Thomas remembers. Thomas, overwhelmed by the speed of the words, just zoned out the noise  as he began to think of what he needed to do. 

"Do you think I can?" Deku's voice interrupted his thinking

"Do I think you can?", Thomas replied. 

" Become a hero", Izuku suddenly shouted.

Before Thomas could reply there was a loud noise and suddenly green ooze started to come up from the sewer drain. The smell was ultra bad, causing both Deku and Thomas to cover their noses. Trying not to gag from the terrible smell. 

Name - Sludge

Quirk - Slide Body Quirk

Age - 30

Bio- turned to a life of crime when he couldn't make it as a hero. He will take over people's bodies and use it to rob and steal. Impervious to most physical damage.

That's new for Thomas that he  can see the name of the person, the quirk, even a small bio. So lost in thought he didn't realize that the slime monster was coming after him until it was too late and he already was covered. 

"Shit", Was all Thomas could scream before being covered.

  "PLEASE CALM DOWN FREAKING OUT OVER YOUR FRIEND WON'T HELP THINGS '', a loud booming voice said. 

 

A shivering voice replied, "I…I..I feel so..so responsible maybe because if I didn't distract him maybe he would've had a chance to move."

Thomas could feel his body shaking and his shirt was drenched due to the tears of Deku. Thomas began to try to sit up, though it felt like his lungs were on fire. His mouth also tasted like, actually he couldn't think of taste as bad as what was in his mouth.

 

  "Ahh", Deku Screamed seeing me fully trying to set up.

He jumped up and tried to start apologizing. Thomas just gave a look as if now's not the time to freak before trying to stand up. As soon as he made his way to his feet he instantly puked up everything he had for the day. Not the smartest decision Thomas had today but it's fine he can work with this as he took a napkin out of his book back and used it to clean his mouth.

  "YOUNG MAN, WHILE USUALLY ID SCOLD YOU FOR USING YOUR QUIRK IN PUBLIC. IN THIS CASE YOU USED IT IN SELF DEFENSE SO I'LL LET YOU OFF WITH A WARNING." , All Might told me. As he checked over the two teens to make sure they both were okay.

  "My mouth tastes like ass and… wait quirk. I've been  quirkless my entire life." Thomas replied. Still trying to hide his quirk from everyone in case everything went wrong.  You  could see the shocked look on Izuku's face when Thomas said that. 

 

Suddenly Thomas was handed a piece of gum by a big hand. Of course, Rip Off Supes would have his own gum brand. On the wrapper  All Might could be seen with his signature smile doing a thumbs up. Thomas took it while also offering a small thanks. Hmm, mint flavored, that's good. 

  "YOUNG MAN I CAN'T SAY IF YOU HAVE A QUIRK I JUST SAW THE AFTERMATH OF THE SLUDGE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND YOUR FRIEND CRYING OVER YOUR BODY. BUT I HAVE TO BE OFF NOW I MANY MORE PEOPLE TO SAVE. 

  "Wait all might", Izuku yelled but All Might was already about to jump. 

Already knowing what was about to happen Thomas quickly grabbed the opposite leg of Izuku. Legit dumbest thing ever and Thomas wonders how he reached this point though it's important to the plot so he's following it. Thomas usually doesn't like to complain but holy shit he went from being engaged with a nice life to grabbing fake supes leg in support of a shitty mc that he admittedly has grown fond of. Deku's screams could actually be heard loudly through the wind ; you could tell he was scared. Thomas on the other hand was enjoying the rush of wind while holding on tightly. I just want to say by the way it is hard as hell to breathe going this fast. What can I say though it is kind of fun. 

 

All might finally notice us and quickly grab us in his arms as he makes a safe drop on top of the building. Huh, even with him here it's still the same building as the anime. If you look around and take notice of really nothing just thought it might go a bit differently honestly. Though it was a comical sight seeing  Izuku crying and holding the ground. As All Might looks slightly annoyed and exasperated.

  "YOU GUYS CAN TAKE THE EXIT RIGHT THERE AND GET TO THE STREET. I HAVE MORE PEOPLE SAVE. REMEMBER DON'T DO DANGEROUS STUFF LIKE THAT AGAIN.", All might have tried to scold us. Thomas just shrugged and Izuku looked like he was trying to work up the courage to say something.  All Might begins to tense his legs to jump. 

 

"Wait All Might before you go I..I need to know if I can be a hero as a quirkless person?", Izuku asked with a small amount of fire. 

  "I don't have time for this", All might begin before suddenly smoke covers the building. There was a skinny man in front of us. 

  "Ahhh where did All Might go!!!?," Izuku screamed. Suddenly he started muttering fast. Thomas could be seen laughing, this was way more fun than in the anime, like seriously. 

  "Look kid I am All Might", All Might replied. 

  Izuku asked, "How could he be?"

Instead of All Might answering I decided too. 

  "That man right there is All Might, or in this form Toshinori Yagi. If you lift up his shirt he has an injury on his right side he's also missing half of his stomach's lung. Am I right, old man?"

NAME - Toshinori Yagi

HERO ALIAS - All Might

AGE - 48

QUIRK - One for All

BIO - Yagi once a quirkless boy before he's found by his new teacher. Once he started training and became the 8th user of One for All he not only controlled easily but was able to use 100% from the start. After watching his mentor die he promised to always save people with a smile. He is now the number 1 hero in the world. 

  "All might be.. is this true?," Izuku asked with tears in his eyes. 

Thomas just began to ignore the explanation of All Might as he knew what was going to be said. Hopefully this will be enough to make All Might come after him. One on One Thomas then could explain his situation, maybe conceiving All Might to help.

  As Thomas made his way to the streets, loud steps could be heard as someone was catching up to him . Of course it was Deku, clutching his burnt hero book tightly. Tears running down his face, he looked very distraught. Knowing what was said, Thomas decided staying quiet was the best open. It sucks but he needs this to prove to All Might then ,if needed he could start making changes to this world.

 

Suddenly there's a loud boom coming from what looks like a building more than a couple blocks from us. Here we go finally. Thomas  took off running to the burning buildings. Izuku is struggling to keep up. Yet he didn't slow down, no he's  ready. Ready for this damn story to start. Ready to start making plans. 

 

Quickly we began to see a large crown forming. Izuku was trying to catch his breath but I refused to wait. Thomas started pushing his  way through making sure Midorya was with him as they made their wait to the front.  Just like in the anime, Bakugo was captured by the sludge monster and the hero's were useless. Backdraft stayed near the police. Death arms was back away from the fire in the he was farthest from the buildings. Mt. Lady instead of shrinking decides to stay full size hiding behind a building. Slugger while closest to the action you can see his legs shaking unsure on what to do . Thomas could see All Might in his skinny form peeking from another part of the crowd but he too wasn't doing anything.

Thomas clenched his fist, even though he doesn't want to be a hero, his body still wants to save Bakugou. Yet it doesn't matter, we have to wait for Izuku to make a choice.  Slowly Bakugo quit fighting,as he started to lose air. Deku was shaking until he finally made a choice to duck under the caution tape. The police tried to stop him but he ignored them, even pushing a few on the ground.  Yes, that's my boy.  Thomas followed behind him also ignoring the police officers. 

  Izuku was taking off his book bag before throwing it at the villain's eyes. 

  "Ahh my eyes, you little punk", the sludge monster said

"Common Kakachan keep fighting, give me your hand", Izuku screamed. Finally reaching his hand we both pulled as hard as we could, his head coming out first. Taking deep breaths you could tell he was mad. 

Before he could say anything hurtful Thomas punched his face on accident( yeah on purpose we all know) as if Thomas  was trying to fight for grip. It proved effective in keeping him quiet as he knocked out. Hopefully no one noticed the punch to his face. Going on instinct Thomas allowed some vibrations to go into the sludge, and he began to shriek. The sludge moved quickly back from Bakugou to get away from him . Before Thomas could grab him suddenly there was a tall shadow in front of him and the sludge monster was gone. For the first time Thomas could understand why people are in awe of All might. 

 

"You kids helped with realizing what a real hero is, what I should've been. So yes even if you're quirkless you can too be a hero!!",ALL MIGHT said to us. 

Even Thomas felt partially moved by this as everything began to happen so quickly. All might disappear again and hero's began to try and clean. Death arms and Mt. Lady came over to Izuku and Thomas as they were waiting to get cleared to leave the scene. 

  "Yeah I'm going to stop you there before you say anything you guys are useless shits of heroes. You did nothing to help death arm as an excuse being made of wood what about yours mt.lady or anyone else around. You guys did nothing and should  praise us instead of scolding the two who saved his life!  All I will say is this if you approach me with bullshit I'll return the same. Don't start with me.", Thomas said with a sharp glare on my face. Before they could reply Thomas grabbed Deku's hand and dragged him with me without any resistance. 

Though he found it strange, Deku had blush on his face. At this point Thomas just ignored it and pushed through the remaining crowd. As soon as there was no one near them he let go of his hand. Deku had a small pout on his face after that, strange/  Everything was quiet on the walk to Izuku place. He tried to start a conversation a couple times with me but honestly Thomas  just ignored it. Truthfully he just doesn't have the energy to engage at the moment.

 

Finally making it to his house before he could even knock the door swung open and you can hear his mom crying and asking if he's okay over and over again. 

 

"Thank you so much for saving my daughter",  his mom said. 

  Name - Inko Midoriya
