Everything is okay, you know why? Because I'm here...

What is it like to want something with all your being and have everyone tell you that you won't achieve it?

That lie that is repeated over and over and over and over and over and over and over until you believe it

"You're just a useless Deku, you know something from now on Deku means useless"

You realize that the world is wrong when they take your words of hope and turn them into your worst nightmare

I always dreamed of being a hunter I wanted to be a hero who would save others with a smile and I still want to be one

But people have always done everything possible to prevent it

They don't have a reason, they never had one they just saw the innocent child with a dream and decided to kick him until he breaks

I never gave in

I'm still standing and more confident than ever

I'm okay, why? Because I'm here...

It was a normal morning in Vale

People went out to work, children and teenagers went to school and the vagrants walked aimlessly

-Izuku, have breakfast-

A short, plump, green-haired woman said

-I'm coming, mom-

A 15-year-old boy said as he finished putting on his clothes

These were a black t-shirt, green military pants, red boots and a green sweater wrapped around his waist

The boy had black hair with green highlights, a slender but defined figure and 4 freckles on each cheek in the shape of a diamond

In the boy's room there was a lot of merchandise of a superhero, a muscular one with a big smile on his face and 2 blond locks in a V shape that resembled the peace symbol

The boy left his room and went to the table to have breakfast with his mother

-So what are you planning to do today? Ruby came up with something crazy that do?-

The woman asked her son

-We'll just leave school to look for the new All Migth comic that came out-

The boy had a little red tint on his cheeks as he answered the question

-I just ask that I see you here before 11 and without a teenage pregnancy-

The woman mocked her son

-Mom! Don't say that, I'm 15 years old-

The boy said completely red and embarrassed

-and I'm 30-

He answered with a smile

That had been a constant mockery of his mother since he managed to get a friend

His best friend

The boy finished his breakfast and gave his mother a goodbye kiss on the forehead and left for school

Signal Academy

Nothing very special or out of the ordinary except perhaps his students exactly one in general

-Hey Izuku ready to start the day!?-

A girl with black hair that ends in red with a hood of the same color appears in front of our green-haired protagonist

-Hey Ruby! Yes I'm ready why are you here-

Izuku smiled softly showing clear affection towards the girl and mentally hoped that she would notice his subtle flirtation

According to him

-Exactly! That's the attitude who would you be without your super cool best friend-

And it seems that it is still very subtle for the girl with red locks

-yes yes exactly my super cool best friend-

The boy had a nervous smile but played along, it would be for the next one

-what do you think Uncle Qrow will teach us in today's class?-

The girl asked anxiously

-I don't know, I hope I can make new modifications to my Smashers, I think I found a way to reduce the impact of the recoil on my arms a little more-

The boy said thoughtfully

-it's true it wasn't fun the last time you broke your arm-

The girl with red locks told him with a finger on her chin

Izuku just got a little depressed causing a purple aura to settle on him

-don't remind me-

He said discouragedly

-oh come on it wasn't that bad, besides without Katsuki around you have less fools to deal with-

She answered trying to cheer him up

-with time the pain of breaking his arms stops being a big deal but it hurts me to keep losing my opportunities to show that Deku can be a hunter and not someone who destroys things at random and like that-

The boy said discouraged

-come on we always lose things but if you focus on what you lost you won't be able to focus on what you won, like reading All Might's new dome multiversal hope!!!-

The boy smiled as his cheeks turned a little red

-thanks Rubes-

He said with the most sincere smile he could give

-you're welcome Deku-

The girl smiled back with her own little blush they both entered the academy to see their classes

Ruby has been important in my life for 5 years now

She defended me, praised me and got me up to move on and fulfill my dream

We clicked when we We met, we shared a taste for hero stories, cool weapons and likenesses, she was also the only one who could keep up with my murmurs

The only one who saw Deku as he is, a name of hope

I never knew why they made fun of me, whether for my small and fragile appearance or for my rather late appearance of likeness

I only know that it started with Katsuki Bakugou and since then the name Deku went from being the dream of being the next symbol of hope to being nothing more than useless

Trying to be like All Migth in real life is difficult but I have fought and broken bones to fulfill that dream and I am fulfilling it with Ruby

-How are you doing, are the changes already made?-

Ruby asked Izuku while he was in the workshop

The boy at his table had white gloves with blue details and golden openings above the knuckles

He was wearing sleeves that consisted of several red metal plates, he was testing the mobility of them and seeing that they were not limiting his articulation he turned around to answer his friend

-It's ready, just need to try it, okay Smashers Gamma version first test, please don't break my arms-

The boy went to a small shooting range and put on both white gloves and with a wheel that was on the side of the right he turned them on

-Let's see 1%... Smash!-

Making a movement with his fingers of these together with a small trail of green rays he fired a small burst of compressed air with the help of a mechanism in the gloves

-How's the recoil?-

Ruby asked

-Null, let's go for the 10% what do you think-

He turned the wheel and prepared to shoot again

-Smash!-

A more powerful blast was fired from the gloves leaving a greater shockwave that made the hair of both teenagers move in the wind

Some of the other boys got closer

-recoil?-

Ruby asked

-a little noticeable-

He said without further ado, this turn plus the wheel

-25% ready?-

The girl next to him nodded while the others watched with greater interest

-SMASH!-

This time the shot and the shock slingshot were enough to push the green-haired boy back a little

This attracted more people interested in the boy

-how are you?-

Ruby asked

-this is great last time it hurt a little but now it's just a slight prick we're at 50% and I can say that I did it for today-

The boy smiled with some hope

-Are you sure?-

She asked

The boy just nodded and started to aim

He placed his fingers in position and concentrated

The looks of the others towards him were making him nervous if he failed many people would watch him fall

He closed his eyes

-Come on Deku try if you can!-

Said a boy with messy ash blonde hair and red eyes

He opened his eyes

-DETROID SMASH!!!-

The shock wave pushed most of them back but Ruby who was the closest was thrown with more force

Izuku who was being propelled into the air with pain in his arm and who knew that if he fell it would hurt him tomorrow decided to use his semblance to help his friend

In that some black whips with green reflections came out of the openings of his gloves and caught Ruby in the air preventing her from hitting the floor

Too bad he did kiss the floor

SPAM!!!*

-hey come on it wasn't that bad-

Ruby said as she walked with her friend

He had a bruise on one of his eyes and was wearing his sweater

It was a dark green color with black stripes on his chest and arms, he was wearing his hood that had green advice ears on it

It was a sweater his mother made him, the ears were actually supposed to be All Might's locks of hair but he ended up looking like a rabbit, he still loved his sweater

Both teenagers walked the streets of Vale at night and entered a 24/7 store

-really? Look at my face, apart from the fact that I dislocated my arm, they put it back in place-

The boy said, discouraged

-At least nothing broke beyond the wall and you, at least you know that you can use them at least 25%-

The girl tried to cheer up

-Come on, let's go find the comic-

They both put on some headphones and found what they were looking for

They looked at each other with excitement in their eyes and began to read

Things were never the way I thought they would be

In a world where there are huge beasts that want to end humanity and its creations, you would expect everything to be exciting fights and cool heroes like in the comics

But no, people focus on racism and wars from years past

The world trampled on that little boy but he got up because he has his friend by his side

That boy who wanted to be a hero still lives

Because Deku is not useless Deku is hope Deku... is unity

That is what that represents name that occurred to a 5-year-old boy

-Hi, I'm %&#$ what's your name?-

A girl asked whose face was covered by a strong light

-I.zu.Zuku-

The little green-haired boy stammered

-Deku? I think it's a nice name-

The girl said innocently

-yes, I'M DEKU!-

The little boy said nervously

-it's like the name of a hero-

The girl said

-a hero is what I want to be, the symbol of peace, I'M DEKU AND EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE BECAUSE I'M HERE!-

The boy said excitedly

The girl just laughed a little but didn't go away

-#&$% let's go home!-

A man called the girl

-I hope to see you being a hero Deku-

Maybe she couldn't see him because of the light but the girl offered him a bright smile

That day the boy who loved heroes decided to become one

Definitely
