Street Fighting and Heroism
Guile was frozen due to an accident when he was in his forties. It was the seventies and cryo was becoming a thing.
He wakes to a world where someone got their hands on a Bison built something and now a steadily rising number of the population come with their own built in tweak. No having to train their Ki or Chakra. Just… born with a thing, most of which became active at four or five. Lovely. Kids with a built in bio weapon.
As they do, the world went nuts.
It’s been near a hundred and fifty years since then, give or take a bit.
Some of his fellow street fighters went on to raise families, or at least have a kid or two. With nothing else to do with himself, Guile decides to track down the descendants and see if they have an knowledge of the people he knew… after a couple of months to a year or so of getting back into shape.
Being snap frozen without his permission and kept in storage by an offshoot of Bison’s lot has done him NO favours.
He’s doing the rounds in Japan where some descendant of Ryu (that was shock and an accident and totally NOT with the guy’s concent) married a descendant of Ken, with some of Chun Li’s sister’s line in there too (Chun li never had kids) when he’s knocked over by a bunch of slightly thread bare kids, one of which had just gotten their Quirk so their control was a little shaky. The rest ran off scared, but one little girl with stayed to make sure he was okay, even though she might get into trouble.
Her name was Inko, just Inko, she had dark green, nearly black hair, typical Asian dark eyes, was a little on the shorter side, six and lived in an orphanage. People with Quirks didn’t have it so hard anymore but now the tide of public opinion was coming down on people with weak Quirks and people with mutant Quirks.
Inko had a ‘weak’ Quirk.
She was still the only one who stayed and, when she heard he was exploring, offered to be his guide.

Inko was visiting her husband, soon to be ex husband, in America and dropped in on him with her little boy. Her little boy who was six, Quirkless and heavily bullied for it though he tried to hide it so she wouldn’t worry. He was such a kind boy.
She didn’t know what to do for him. Their finances were about to take a sharp dip as she KNEW her former husband would be stingy with the child support and things for a Quirkless child in Japan were pretty grim. He’d be barred from SO many things simply because of a toe joint and he was so, SO smart and kind…
They stayed for a week and the man she called ‘Uncle’, who had gotten her a loving and supportive family by mentioned the kind little girl who had stayed to help and then acted as his local guide to the family he was visiting who were looking to adopt, stepped up for her boy.
Her baby would live with him, train under him and learn from him. America was vast and the number of Quirless here was higher as well. There would be SOME discrimination because there always was, but he wouldn’t be driven to suicide by it… she hoped. Her by was strong and kind but people had limits and she was his MOTHER. She couldn’t help worrying.

Izuku lived with Guile and trained in everything his unrelated ‘uncle’ could remember of the art, his own training and everything he’d picked up from the others.
His boy wanted to be a Hero. He wanted to HELP people and there was NO reason lack of some genetic hiccup should stop him.
His boy also wanted to try for U.A. which was said to be one of the best Hero schools in the world. He might not be ALL Might or Star and Stripe but he wanted to make a difference like they did.
Getting All for One was an accident. A critically injured Mirio passed it too him as it was not at all compatible with his Quirk and the two had lost him limbs.
A stock piler, it meshed surprisingly well with his Ki once he’d retrained to accommodate it…
