Summary:

Midoriya Izuku is a genius. Midoriya Izuku is a world renowned gymnast. Midoriya Izuku is quirkless. Midoriya Izuku is going to be a hero despite the odds stacked against him.

Izuku had two loving parents and, despite growing up isolated from his peers due to his quirk status, managed to defy the odds and thrive in the world he was born in. Midoriya fast tracked through school and took to training his body in both strength and other skills that his gymnastics coach could teach him, as well as learning first aid.

Chapter 1: Prelude

Chapter Text

The Midoriya family was a fairly standard family; two loving parents and a kind son. A famous support engineer, a nurse, and a five year old genius. A five year old genius who has just been enrolled in a gymnastics class and first aid course.

The Midoriya family was fairly standard; two loving parents and a son who flew above his path in life to set his own. A father that worked long hours and taught his son, a mother that worked hard to take care of people, and a son who was a national competitor. A nine year old genius who was making headlines for his athletic prowess, dreaming of becoming a hero despite having never manifested a quirk.

The Midoriya family was fairly standard; two loving parents who died in a villain attack, and a son who had his life torn away without notice. A father that made sure that his son didn’t get hit with stray debris, a mother who spent her last breaths calling for her husband and son, and a son who wakes up sweating and calling for parents that no longer existed.

The Midoriya family was no longer a standard family, but the ghost of one. The parents long since buried and the son who pushed to continue as though nothing had happened. A gravestone for each parent and a silent home to greet the thirteen year old genius who continued making headlines.
