"Now, it's time I told you all why I brought you here." Trixter said. Everyone nodded. "You have all been brought here to...WATCH MOVIES!" Upon hearing this everyone was stunned. That's it? This mysterious person kidnaps them and prevents them from using their quirks...just to make them watch some movies?
"Do you think this is funny?" Aizawa asked.
"No, no, of course not." Trixter smiled nervously.
"Then enough jokes!" Endeavor said.
"I'm not joking. I really did bring you here to watch movies." Everyone's jaws dropped in disbelief.
"You know I was expecting something much worse." Kaminari said.
"What kind of movies?" Ashido asked.
"Why super hero movies of course." Trixter said. Kota immediately lost interest.
"While I understand the importance of super hero films to inspire youth, we have far more important matters to attend to." Nighteye said.
"I don't think we have a choice Nighteye." Nezu said.
"Correct Nezu, you don't have a choice." Trixter said. "But don't worry, you'll all find the films interesting, I guarantee it."
"So what films are we watching?" Midoriya asked.
"You are all going to watch a set of films called the MCU." Trixter said.
"MCU?" Midnight questioned.
"Marvel Cinematic Universe. That's the name of the series of films you'll be watching." Trixter explained. "However, I should clarify that these "films" are actually tales from another reality." Everyone's eyes widened.
"So you wish to show us heroes from a different universe?" Kurogiri asked.
"Heroes AND villains." Trixter corrected. "Your world is ruled by heroes and villains. Your society is centered around quirks - superpowers. I want to show you all a different reality. One with different heroes and villains each with their own ideals and beliefs. I hope that you will not only find this reality interesting, but also enlightening. I truly love the tales of this reality and hope you all learn something from them. That is why I brought you all here."
"If the stories you're showing us are real then why'd you call them movies?" Mr. Compress asked.
"Because in order to show you all this universe, I compiled the important events of this other reality into a film-like format and called it the MCU. All for your viewing pleasure." Trixter explained. "Now feel free to mingle a bit while I get everything ready." Trixter said before vanishing. Everyone one decided to do their own thing, some striking up a conversation while others just waited in silence.

Toshinori had decided to speak with the other U.A. Staff members that were here. "U-um...excuse me...All Might?" The man turned around to see Midoriya.
"Hm? Midoriya correct?" All Might recalled the boys name.
Midoriya smiled. "Y-yes! T-that's my name sir."
"Well, Young Midoriya, what do you need?" All Might smiled.
Midoriya felt like he was gonna faint. He was talking to THE All Might. The Symbol of Peace. His idol. "W-well I was wondering if you could sign my notebook."
"Of course." All Might flipped to a blank page and signed the notebook. "You must really like studying quirks huh?" All Might commented on the information in the notebook. "Hmm, 'Hero Analysis for the Future.' Oh yeah, you did say you want to be a hero didn't you?" All Might said as he analysed the cover of the notebook.
"Um, y-yes, well, actually I wanted to ask you about that." Midoriya stuttered as All Might returned the notebook.
"Hmm? What is it?" All Might asked. Midoriya prepared himself to finally ask his idol the most important question of his life.
"Can...Can someone without a quirk be a hero?" This question got the attention of everyone in the room. Toshinori was caught off guard by the question. "Can someone like me...someone powerless...ever hope to be like you?" Everyone waited to hear the No.1 hero's answer.
"Without a quirk?" All Might questioned. "W-well..."
"All Might." Nezu interrupted realizing what Toshinori would say. "Be honest with him. Lying will only hurt him more."
All Might began to sweat. He knew the truth and he knew it would hurt. He didn't want to hurt Young Midoriya's feelings. But Principle Nezu was right. This boy probably wouldn't want his pity. So he took a deep breath and prepared to tell the boy the harsh but true reality of his situation.
"I...I'm sorry young man..." Upon hearing those words Midoriya's eyes widened a little. He knew what would come next. "...but being a hero is very dangerous..." And here comes the justification. "...Even those with quirks are putting their lives at risk everyday by being heroes. It's simply to dangerous for someone without a quirk." Having given his answer, All Might waited to see how Midoriya would take it.
To his and everyone else's surprise, rather than seeming shocked or sad, Midoriya just seemed disappointed. Like he had actually expected All Might's answer. "I...I see."
"I really am so-"
"No, it's fine." Midoriya interrupted. "I figured you'd say that. I just thought if anyone would be different then it would be you..." Midoriya turned away, tears forming in his eyes. "T-thank you for the autograph." Midoriya said as he walked away. Inko instantly went to comfort him. Everyone felt bad for the boy and were shocked that All Might would crush his dreams like that. However, they all understood and agreed with the Symbol of Peace. Well, MOST of them agreed.
Aizawa believed that with the right training, one could become a competent hero without a quirk. However, just because they could be a hero doesn't mean they should. After all, being quirkless would make them more of a liability than an asset.
Hatsume thought about the idea of a quirkless hero. She figured they'd probably be heavily reliant on support gear which was enough to sell her on the idea. Perhaps the plain looking boy was someone worth remembering.
Stain didn't think having a quirk mattered since being a true hero has nothing to do with one's quirk. However, he can tell All Might was simply concerned for the boy.

After a few minutes, Trixter returned. "Okay everyone, I hope you're ready." Everyone turned their attention to Trixter. "Please enter the theater room and take the seat labeled with your name. Also feel free to get something to eat and drink from the concession stand. It'll conjure up whatever you want." Trixter instructed. Everyone got their food and drinks and proceeded into the theater. However Trixter stopped one person. "Midoriya?"
"Huh?" He snapped out of his dazed state.
"I know you're broken up about what All Might said but try not to worry about it, okay? The heroes you're about to see will change your outlook on things. I promise."
"Um, o-okay. I'll try to focus on the films." Izuku said. He wasn't sure how Trixter knew about his conversation with All Might but he decided to not question.
"All right. Go on ahead." Trixter said.
Midoriya made his way into the theater.

Author's Note
And that's the Prologue. So yeah, in case you haven't realized by now, this takes place before the beginning of the show. Midoriya is still quirkless, no one knows about One for All except All Might, Nezu, Nighteye, and Recovery Girl, Eri hasn't been saved, Kota still hates quirks, Spinner isn't a villain, Endeavor hasn't changed, Nighteye and All Might are still on bad terms, and most of Class 1-A don't know each other because they're still in middle school. I thought this would make things interesting. See you in the next chapter and thank you for your time.
