The quirkless hacker

Hero Names

A Hero is someone who in spite of weakness , doubt , or not always knowing the answers , goes ahead and overcomes it anyway

Izuku POV

Opening my eyes I was met with darkness as per usual my insomnia had decided to act up checking my watch it was 4:30 am rolling over onto my back and stared into the inky darkness. Five minutes had passed and when I had made the unconscious decision no to get up my mind took that as an opportunity to launch me into a flashback.

2 years ago no one's pov

He stood on a rooftop utterly destroyed Izuku Midoriya was now a boy with no dream no direction. Ontop of him having an above average shitty day he had met his personal idol All Might. Any kid would be happy but you know how the saying goes Never meet your idols  All Might had utterly crushed his dreams leaving Izuku feeling hollow. Moving to the edge of the building he gazed down to the unsuspecting crowds of civilians going about their lives. " I'll show All Might and all those who doubted me that I could be a hero they'll have no choice but to acknowledge me"  Izuku thought as his face turned bitter  and the light slowly left his eyes leaving them dull and toxic. One thing was sure his resolve to be a hero was now solidified now more than ever.

If you asked anyone about Izuku Midoriya people would often say that he was quirkless and useless but something wasn't right about him. They would often say his eyes looked right through them and his face in a permanent uninterested but analytic expression. After the rooftop incident as he dubbed it Izuku changed drastically , his mother now worried for him more despite him saying he was fine. Upon reaching home he had politely asked his mother to sign him up to several extracirricular activities being martial arts and IT. His mothr while wary couldn't outright deny him this request so she let him. He had now become something of a zombie developing eyebags because he stayed up too late and  chronic insomnia. He had grown quite proficient at martial arts and was now able of taking out several people at the same time. In his IT lessons he had quite the natural talent for hacking and was soon put on to a class specifically for hacking.  Which brings us to today after having a one sided argument with Bakugou he had left feeling only a little mad. Upon reaching home he noticed that his mom had gone out and left a note saying "Went to the stores be back soon making katsudon tonight :)"  Shrugging he went to his  to his room booting up his computer he dropped his bag in the corner and entered the deep web continuing his little side project. Time had passed and now with his stomach rumbling he came out of his room only to be met with a dark house. Suddenly  there was a knock at the door. Opening it he was met with two police officers. Are you Midoriya Izuku ? Officer #1 asked  so he nodded his head "Its your mother she has been killed in an attempted robbery at the supermarket" that was the last thing he heard before darkness consumed him (Flashback over)

Shaking myself out of my daydream I looked at my clock which said 5:30 am surprised I jumped out of my bed. Moving silently to the kitchen I saw Aizawa making coffee to which I was in full support of both of us being insomniacs coffee is an absolute must. Shuffling into the kitchen I grunted a greeting to him which he returned falling into step behind him we quickly whipped up some eggs and toast with some rich arabian coffee to wash it down. Getting ready quickly we made it to school with 30 minutes to spare. He went to the staff room to rest and I went to the classroom.  Soon enough the noises of my classmates made its way to my ears. Keeping one eye on the door and one on my phone I waited for the inevitable. Two minutes before the bell the door opened then silence , watching me were the bakusquad  consisting of Bakugou Kaminari Kirishima and Mina. They spat morning greetings towards me and then sat. Soon enough the classroom filled with everyone  talking , laughing but everyone had their eyes on me waiting for someone to broach the topic of yesterday. That person just happened to be Bakugou the apparent victim of the situation. He obviously got a little pep talk from his squad cause his proud smile had returned "Well Deku you didn't have to hurt me so bad you know fucked up my arm pretty bad" he said slamming his hand down on my desk exploding it. "O come on Bakugou stop acting like such a baby did you conveniently forget that you tried to explode your own team mate or shall I?" I asked with venom in my voice "as for the fucked up arm you deserved it so much for hero material" He obviously didn't expect me to clap back and was angry just what I needed time for some karma " Bakugou I think that your classmates need a little insight into how much of an asshat you really are. Lets take em back shall we? By now the entire class was listening and there was no way I was stopping now "Lets start at the beginning shall we Bakugou and I actually are childhood friends but when he manifested the perfect quirk and I didn't he let it go to his head and he started bullying me. He was so convinced that I wouldn't make it into UA that he actually told me goodbye but guess what bitch I'm not going anywhere" I said smirking. He effectively turned pale and now the judgmental eyes of 1A was now turned on him instead of me which was nice for a change

But before anyone could say anything Aizawa walked in with Midnight in all her perverted glory I saw Mineta start to drool when she walked in. "Sit down problem children today we have a very important class today one which might decide the way your hero career might go" Aizawa started  "Hero names but I'm no good at those which is why Midnight is here" he said pulling out his now famous yellow sleeping bag and laying down. 

Timeskip 15 minutes 

By now mostly everyone had gone up and said their hero names the few that hadn't gone were Bakugou , Shoto and I. Getting up and making my way towards the front of the class. All eyes on me I turned my flashcard to everyone that had these words on them 

"The informant" 

There was silence for a minute before Midnight turned to me "offense young man but this is bland what do you even know what an informant is ?" Turning to her I allowed my eyes to roam hers for a minute before saying I know what an informant is I have been one for 2 years I would suggest you do your info before making assumptions Nemuri" How do you know my name Midoriya that is not information that even my form class knows ? her eyes now slightly startled. Not answering her I went back to my seat. All throughout the lesson she kept throwing me glances. When we were finally released for lunch she kept me back and chewed me out for disrespect her entire speech went totally unnoticed my eyes looking straight through her. As she was about to let me off I heard "Nemuri I think you owe my son an apology" turning to dad he had his quirk activated "S-s -s-son ?"  she stuttered out  "I'll deal with you later he said averting his eyes to mine but first I think I need to have a little talk with my colleague here" Taking that as my que to leave  I slipped pass the now frightened Midnight out to the roof where I often spend my lunch.  To sum up why I took that rather bland name is one quote from a pre - quirk era movie that I live by and it goes
