#there was an AU floating where Kacchan was quirkles and Izuku had a suped up version of Izukus quirk

[redrobin-detective]

Hey who wants a balls to the wall crazy AU that I thought of while walking my dogs?

Okay so, Katsuki’s quirk comes in when he’s four and not long after, his best friend Izuku’s quirk manifests, a telekinesis quirk like his mom. Its clear from the start that Izuku’s quirk is strong, able to move books and plates within days of coming in. Katsuki beams, its destiny that him and Izuku are so close and both have such great quirks. They grin at each other over sleepovers, pinky promising to work really hard and become heroes together forming the Bakugou Midoriya agency. For awhile, all is well.

It takes them awhile to notice that while Katsuki’s quirk is growing, Izuku’s is growing at a much, much faster rate. When Katsuki makes small sparks Izuku is moving tables; when his explosions are palm sized, Izuku levitated their teacher’s whole car. “Izuku’s quirk is so strong, he’ll be a great hero,” teachers and councilors say with bright (scared) smiles. Inko buys industrial strength quirk suppressing bracelets, just in case she tells herself. Every time he outgrows a pair, she buys another. 

Katsuki and Izuku are inseparable, Izuku is shy about his quirk having picked up the adult’s unspoken fear and caution around him. He’s sweet and kind but confident, he is going to be the strongest hero. Katsuki is always encouraging his friend always pushing him to be better. A small primal part of him also senses Izuku’s power and that little nudge that says he’s dangerous keeps Katsuki’s darker jealous impulses at bay. Then, everything changes during their last year of middle school.

Izuku separates from Katsuki to run to the store for his mom when he’s attacked by the sludge villain. Scared, surprised and suffocating, Izuku unleashes his power which he’s previously kept a very very tight lit on. City blocks are wiped out, the damage is unspeakable. Heroes from all over rush in expecting a band of villains only to find a crying child. Izuku is brought in and his quirk properly tested and its far more powerful than they had imagined, he’s listed as one of the most powerful psychics on record. His quirk is ranked as Class S, the most powerful and destructive of quirks (yes I stole it from OPM, shh). The Hero Commission comes in with smiles and says, “how about we train you to be a hero, Izuku-kun?” only it’s not a request. He’s pulled out of school and taken to a facility to hone his abilities.

(On my walk, I played with the idea of Katsuki running into AM and being chosen as his successor on the basis of him trying to save his friend and future partner and be the strongest hero. Still on the fence on it but it doesn’t factor too much into the AU so you decide)

The Commission wants to keep Izuku with them but Izuku insists on going to Yuuei, kicks up quite a fuss until they relent. He’s brought in on recommendation (Yaomomo is kicked out but takes the regular exam and passes). His true motives are to get away from the Commission who he recognizes wants to turn him into a weapon; he also misses Katsuki and knows he’ll be at Yuuei. The first day of class, Izuku walks in, hiding quirk suppressers under his sleeves and bursts into tears when he’s sees his best friend. No one knows what to make of the two kids who are holding onto each other crying like they haven’t seen each other in years.

Aizawa and all the teachers are briefed on Izuku’s insanely strong quirk, he’s placed with Aizawa for the sole purpose of being an off switch should he ever get out of control. He’s required by law to tell the kids there’s an S level quirk in the class but he doesn’t say who which is a relief for Izuku. He’s so scared of his quirk he barely uses it and he would have flunked had Aizawa not motivated him to use a small bit of his power to yeet the ball just enough to pass. Katsuki watches with frustration and understanding at his friend limiting himself, they have 3 years to get it under control. The class loves Izuku but they kind of don’t understand how a kid with such a weak telekinesis quirk got in on recommendation by the Commission. 

Anyway then comes USJ and shit gets real. Izuku, with his power has a savior complex from being the strongest person in the room in which it’s up to him to save everyone. As soon as he can, he moves all of his scattered classmates back to the front, blows off the doors and tells them to get out. He then singlehandedly subdues every villain, forcing each individual down with his quirk until he loses control. The class goes sick with awe and fear as shy, sweet Midoriya, lost in his own power, pulls the entire USJ facility out of the ground. Aizawa has to scramble up and erase Izuku’s quirk to get him to stop. The building hits the ground with a resounding crash, Tokyo reports a minor earthquake that day.

That’s as far as I got but I really want to explore the flipside of canon, of Izuku instead of being quirkless having such a ridiculously OP quirk, how it would affect him and those around him. Also I’m a sucker for stories where Izuku and Katsuki remained friends. Plus the idea of a nicer Katsuki inheriting OFA is kind of hilarious, him and All Might would make a greater duo. Anyway all I know going forward is the LOV wants Izuku so bad and he’s the one kidnapped in the Forest Camp arc.
