Chapter Text
Izuku feels weird.
He's on a playdate at the bakugou’s because kacchan just got his totally amazing quirk today! It's so cool, Kacchan can make cool pops with his sweat! He really wishes he gets a cool quirk just like him so they can be the most amazing heroes together! But Izuku still feels this weird sensation in his back, and he doesn't know if he can take it anymore as it starts to really hurt.
he starts screaming.
Mitsuki Bakugou comes running into Kacchan's room, he doesn't register the screaming of kacchan, or the worried voice of Mitsuki, the only thing he can focus on is that excruciating pain. Tears spill from his eyes as Mitsuki picks him up and rushes to her car. Izuku doesn't know what happened next.
Katsuki didn't know what happened, the first thing he knew was that he and Izuku were playing heroes, and the next his best friend was crying and screaming on the floor of his bedroom. He quickly rushed to get his momma.
"Momma! Something's wrong with Izu! he-he just started screaming!” Katsuki's own tears spilled down his face now too. He watched as his mother rushed to his room, worriedly trying to talk to Izu. He watched as Izuku was rushed to the hospital with his mother. He watched as his father called aunty Inko. he watched.
"Papa?" Wh-whats wrong with Izu?” Katsuki wiped his tear streaked face with the sleeve of his All Might hoodie, looking worried for his best friend. His father kneeled to his level. “I don’t know what's wrong, katsuki, but I'm sure Izuku will be just fine! So show me you’re a big strong man and believe in him, Izuku is strong.” His father embraced Katsuki in a hug, making some of his worry dissipate.
But only some.
Izuku woke up. big white lights shining in his eyes, he took a second to register where he was. He was in a white room, monitors around him, and his mother sitting in front of the bed Izuku laid in, looking at something on her phone. The pain in his back was still there, but it wasn't as bad anymore.
“Momma?” Izuku croaked out, his mouth dry.
His mother looked up from her phone screen. "Oh Honey." His mother rushed to his side, not quite touching him yet, but trying to do something to comfort the 5 year old. Izuku started crying again, not really knowing what other emotion to use as its the only thing he knows how to do right now.
A knock could be heard from the door. A man peeking his head inside, holding a clipboard with papers. “Mind if I interrupt?” the man, who Izuku registered as a doctor, now fully walked into the room. “I’m Dr. Hayashi, I have some information for the both of you.” the Man, -Dr. Hayashi-, flipped through some papers. “It seems little Izuku here is starting to show signs of a mutant quirk growing in.” Something in his mothers expression changed, but Izuku was too in awe to notice that. “Does that mean I get a cool quirk like kacchan?” Izuku exclaimed excitedly. “Are you sure Doctor?” Inko didn't look happy about it, not happy at all.
“Yes, I am sure. there is a big chance izuku will grow new bones on his back, to form wings. but I do need to tell you that growing this in will hurt a lot. I recommend putting him off school for a few weeks till the bones grow through his skin, after that it will be like no time has passed at all, and the little man will have a pair of beautiful wings.”
Izuku was getting wings? That's so cool! He can't wait to tell Kacchan! The doctor said a few more things to his mother, and not soon after they were in the car driving home. The moment Izuku and his mom were in their apartment Izuku felt something off, it was like he sensed something behind him so he ducked, only for a glass to fly over his head. Izuku didn't know what happened to his momma as he turned around, but she didn't look happy. She looked very angry, and Izuku didn't know what was wrong. “Momma?” Izuku croaked out his mouth.
“Shut up! Don't talk to me you filthy animal!” Inko screamed at him. Izuku felt tears creep at his eyes as his own mother grabbed his arm and janked him away from her, toward the door.
“Get out! Get out of my house! You aren't my son! Get the fuck out!”
Izuku cried as he walked down the dark streets of Musutafu, a homeless 5 year old, alone on the streets.
Izuku walks for what feels like hours, his legs hurting. He decides to lay on a bench near a playground he and his momma used to go to. trying to fall asleep.
sleep doesn't come easy to him, but he manages. The moment he wakes up he hears his tummy rumble. He stands up from the bench he was on, immediately sitting back down because that horrible pain in his back returned. Izuku can't help but cry as the pain consumes him whole. He wants his momma, he wants to cry into her arms, he wants to…
Izuku feels numb, he's gotten used to the pain after a few hours. He walks past a few stores, smelling the food, he's so hungry.
Izuku goes the whole day without food or water, he feels dizzy and lightheaded. It was already starting to get dark out
“Hey kid.”
Izuku turns to the voice behind him, he sees a scruffy old man with black hair and a weird thing around his neck. The man Izuku doesn't know is kneeled down to his level, holding out what looks to be a sandwich.
