The Good Citizen

An AU where Izuku is just an ordinary boy. He never meets All Might and has his application for Yuuei's entrance exam rejected because of his quirkless status. He still wants to be a hero, but then again, he's just a normal kid with a mom who works two jobs, and since he failed to get into his dream school, he still has to get into another one, he doesn't have time. to go to the gym or learn to fight, or whatever. And yet, he wants to be a hero, so he grabs a pair of old skates and a stick. And he sneaks out the window at night, intending to be a vigilante.

But like a normal boy, he's a bit of a coward, so when he encounters his first crime, instead of getting involved, he calls the police. He calls the police and hides and is delighted when a police car arrives a few minutes later and does its job. And then he repeats that, goes out, finds a crime and calls the police. And repeat. And the next time, he identifies himself as "Good Citizen" when the person on the line recognizes his voice. And the name sticks. And Izuku keeps it, thinking of it as a way to keep his identity safe. But one day, 'The Good Citizen' calls the police on a group of men beating up a guy. And next he stops a man from harassing a girl.

The mens who beat the guy are part of a powerfull gang and their high-rankers discovers that the person who reported them was the same person who has been making several reports. The old man who harassed the girl was an important member of the HPSC, whose arrest creates a huge scandal

With this he successfully angers the villains and the HPSC all at once. Next week there's a bounty on 'snitch's head. And an arrest warrant for the vigilante who is 'an enemy in the making for the society of heroes'.

Then a race begins, villains and heroes mobilizing to kill/arrest one (1) well-intentioned green bean.

And, out of nowhere, this all becomes Aizawa Fucking Shota's problem.

I hate when you can tell how young a fandom is. MHA for instance is so full of youngins and their views of black and white mentality.

If I see another quirkless vigilante Deku and All Might bashing on my feed imma scream.

Was All Might supposed to tell this quirkless kid who almost got killed by sludge yes you can be a hero be fucking for real.

Deku would’ve got killed by the first villain he fought come on now. He’s smart but that isn’t a quirk he’s just smart so is Bakugo and even he almost got killed by sludge with quirks.

Can you imagine Deku going up against Stain or Dabi with no quirk in what world is he surviving?

Just because he’s quirkless doesn’t make him Batman and let’s be honest Batman only wins through plot armor if Superman randomly decided to flick Batman into space because his voice was annoying him in a meeting he’d be dead.

Also bashing all might and not aizawa who was canonically an asshole is questionable. Will never understand or his mom who legit said sorry and was crying for him.

May not have been what he wanted to hear but she was being realistic parents fuck up it doesn’t make them bad parents.

Paperwork for the paper god I guess.

This is the reason someone can't just be Batman in BNHA unless they have All Might or Knuckleduster connections by the way. Because even if a quirkless person trained, access to support gear is tightly regulated through the pro hero (pro quirk user) profession.

And for the only person shown with access to a support item outside of heroics or villainy (Aoyama), it was because his family was extremely wealthy and they were willing to use unsavory channels to have their kid's needs met.

Chapter 3 Summary:

A breaking news banner scrolled across the bottom of the screen as the word Live! flashed in the corner. They were playing aerial footage of an expansive, traditional Japanese house engulfed by flames.

Blue flames.
