When we get home, I start thinking about Hatsume’s request. Phrasing aside, it's an unusual request. Usually she just asks me to test them, so why is it different this time…? I sit down at my desk and start marking some getao places in town. After a while, I make my way to the nearest one, a few apartments that have boys who always seem to die in alleyways. That was almost me… Ashido runs after me, looking at me brightly, “I hope we find some cute boys!” I stare at her her for a second and swear under my breath before walking ahead and soon find myself at a park in the middle of the hood. I sit down as Ashido runs around like a kid. Probably should stop her before someone gets something… I stand up and stop her before looking around and seeing a green haired kid about Ashido’s age, lying on the ground, bleeding with a broken arm and I approach him, “You good kid?” He looks at me blankly and asks, “Who the hell are you? Are you an angel?”
I shake my head and help him up, “Sadly, you’re not dead. Though, what happened?”
Ashido jumps in, “Yeah, you look like you take drugs!” I lightly hit Ashido on the head and he looks down, “I’m not high, but Kacchan… He does this often.” I shake my head and suddenly have an idea,
“Hey kid, what do you wanna do with life?”
He looks down grimly, “I wanna help people. But like that’ll fucking happened in the world…” I nod solemnly and pat him on on the back as Ashido smiles like a predator. Not that kind you perverts. I offer him my hand, “I wanna help the world too. I can make sure you can help people just like in you dreams.”
He looks and my hand and takes it, and with a glean in his eyes says, “Hell yeah! I'm gonna be a hero!!”
“Oh yeah, what's you name kid?”
“Deku. And I don't have a quirk."
"That's fine. Not like you're better off with one..."
Perhaps it was fate. Perhaps it was just some fucked up spur decision by God. But now... We live in hell. Where evil rules the streets and heros are even less heroic. Benny knows this, and knows he has to live with it. But his life changes when he meets a young pink haired girl on the street. Maybe, just maybe, life will change. But how can one homeless kid change the world? Find out in Superpower Dystopia!
