Midoriya's POV

                All I could hear was sirens... All I could see were flashing lights of blue and red... I also heard voices ringing throughout my ears.

                "Hurry! We're losing him!"

                "Damn it... you stupid Deku! Stay with us!"

                "Deku... please!"

                "Load him up! We don't have much time!"

                "This looks bad... it'll be a miracle if he makes i..."

                I couldn't hear the rest or anything else rather as I felt myself losing the grasp of consciousness. Damn i...

Time skip: One Day 

                 "Izuku... Izuku!" was all I kept hearing, It eventually caused me to open my eyes and senses to kick in. I looked over to see my mother standing next to my bed, only it wasn't my bed. It smelled sterile and I couldn't move a muscle. I looked down to realize that I was covered in bandages, and I had a breathing mask on. All I felt was agony until I heard my mother's voice again. "Izuku! MY BABY! You're awake!" She shouted before I saw her cry into my chest. I only said I saw because I couldn't feel it.

                 "I... I'm fine mom." I tried to smile at her but I couldn't, the mask wouldn't let me. That statement only made her worse, as she was now full on sobbing.

                "N-No... Y-You're not! Y-Your injuries a-and y-your q-quirk..." She was going to continue, but we both heard the door open, and the doctor walked in, along with All Might. He only looked at me with pity. I hate it when people look at me like that. It made me feel useless. The doctor gave me that same filthy look before he began talking.

                "Hello Mr. Midoriya, I can see that you're finally awake. The villain that your group was fighting as well as the one who caused your 'accident' have been apprehended, and no one else was injured too bad." I tried smiling at the thought of that. When I realized I couldn't, she continued. "Unfortunately I cannot say the same about you. Through the villain's attacks and the over usage of your quirk, your arms have been mostly destroyed. The muscles, the tendons, the bones, everything. You were very close to amputation, but luckily we managed to restore your arms to barely function outside of basic movements." The doctor's news got worse and worse. "I'm afraid... because of your carelessness, will not be able to use your quirk without attaining SEVERE damage." She was frowning now as well, along with my Mom and All Might. I would've frowned too, since I knew what was coming next.

               "I'm afraid... that to avoid worsening your condition, you must pull out of the Hero Course." I froze at that statement. No... nonononono... I couldn't, I was the bearer of One For All... ALL MIGHT'S SUCCESSOR! THIS COULDN'T BE HAPPENING! I began crying as I saw her leave the room. I then saw All Might ask my mom if we could speak privately. She nodded and left while having her face in her hands. 

                Once the door closed, All Might just looked at me with that disgusting look of pity. He sat down before talking to me.

                "I'm sorry Young Midoriya... that you ended up like this. If only you realized the strain you were putting on your body... if only you weren't so careless. That last sentence made my eye twitch. I may have been careless, but I had to stop that guy. Several people would have been hurt or killed without me intervening. I had no choice. As All Might was chewing me out, I realized that he was wearing really baggy clothes. That's weird... he's stopped wearing them ever since he lost One For... Oh no. no... NO! I began muffling out of my mask and began struggling. He must have known what I was thinking. He looked at me once again with that LOOK... "I didn't have a choice Young Midoriya. I was... forced to take back One For All. You wouldn't be able to use it anymore, and I don't trust you to just use Shoot Style." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I was All Might's successor. I was the ninth bearer of One For All. I was going to be a hero! And now... he just took back, no. STOLE it away from me. I began to lose it. I couldn't handle it anymore. I began thrashing around trying to get free, to prove I could still move, that I could still be a hero. What I saw next was doctors flooding the room, holding me down while one injected sedatives into my IV. I slowly began to feel its effects. I felt my head hit the pillow before I felt my eyelids get heavy. Before they closed, I saw all the doctors, my mother, and All Might, give me that FACE again... that disgusting look of pity, the look you give to a child after discovering that you like Fortnight. Recollection flashed in my eyes, of when I first found out I was quirkless. My mom kept saying she was sorry. She pitied me. They all did. I saw that on their faces as I finally closed my eyes as I entered the Nightmare Realm.


"Don't worry little one... The Heroes may have lost sight of your potential... but I haven't. You shall learn this in time, Young Midoriya."
