Chapter 0: Quirk

Quirks, a special, superhuman ability an individual can possess. Quirks are generally unique to their user, and are classified in multiple categories. They are inherited genetically through the Mendelian inheritance law, and manifest themselves in children at the age of four at the latest. These children will either manifest one of their paren'ts quirks, a composite hybrid form of both, or in a rare case, something completely unique and related to the genetic lineage. These unique mutations are completely seperate from bloodline that birthed them and carry the weight of endless possibility genetically.

On July 15th a young woman gave birth to beautiful and healthy boy, after many hours of going through the painful process, the doctor smiled at her and placed him in her hands. As the child cried and tossed around, when suddenly a calm voice whispered to him,

"Hush my little baby, don't you worry. I am here!" tears formed as she finished the sentence.

As the voice finished it's sentence, the baby stopped crying and his eyes opened revealing a pair of beautiful dark-green eyes. The doctor who oversaw the operation smiled as he spoke to the woman,

"He has the same eyes as you, Miss Midoriya." he spoke with a smile.

She smiled as she took in the joy of holding her child and feeling her motherly instincts kick in.

"Have you thought of a name yet?" he calmly stated to her.

The words from the doctor managed to break her loving gaze with her baby boy,

"Izuku. Izuku Midoriya." She said with a smile.

-6 months later-

Inko sat on the couch of her home, she just finished putting Izuku to sleep and found herself waiting as she did every night for the last year. She was waiting for him to come back and see her, the man she fell in love with that fateful night. He was so charming and his voice so calming yet powerful. He had an aura that made you feel safe unless he was angered, this she learned of shortly before she would last see him. He always talked about his work and how important it was. He never shared much information with her but just that he loved her and would constantly tell her how she ment the world to him. Then one night, he didn't come home to see her as he always did before. One night became a week, and then a week became a month. She soon began to think it was her becoming pregnant that drove him away and it broke her heart greatly. A sigh escaped her mouth and she rose from her rested position and walked to her bedroom spiritually defeated, it would be one of the many nights she would cry herself to sleep, unsure of what the future would bring.

-3 1/2 years later-

Young Izuku sat impatiently in the waiting room with his mother, he was looking forward to this day for so long! It was the day he would find out what his quirk was and he couldn't wait to find out! He already imagined himself with his mother's quirk being able to lift objects like she could, he hoped his quirk would allow him to lift bigger objects like trucks and even buildings! He jumped up and down while fidgeting in his seat, his mother looked over to him and let out a chuckle,

"Izuku! With all that jumping around I think your quirk will be that of a rabbit!"

He looked up at her was stars in his eyes,

"Oh that would be so cool! Imagine how high I could jump! I could be running around super fast! Like All Might! I want to be like All Might mom! Maybe then people will want to be friends with me!" he finished as he raised one fist in the air and started giggling.

The laughter stopped as the door opened revealing the doctor,

"Sorry to interrupt you two but Miss Midoriya could I speak with you privately for a moment?"

"Of course! Stay here Izuku, I'll only be gone for a moment!" She smiled as she pat her son's head, thinking about how he said then maybe people will want to be friends with him and walked through the door with the doctor, leaving young Izuku alone playing with his All Might toy.

The doctor took Inko into the testing room and lifted his hand towards a seat as he began to speak,

"Miss Midoriya, I have good news and bad news I'm afraid." he stated calmly , "I'll start with the good news, your son has a quirk but the bad news is we can't figure out what it is. The results came back positive but he has no sure signs of a quirk nor has he showed any abilities of one. We're afraid his quirk might be a genetic mutation that does close to nothing. It's as if he was quirkless."

Inko's heart dropped as she thought, -Oh no, he is quirkless! How can I break his heart with this bad news?!-

Before she could say something out loud the doctor rose from his chair, "In many rare cases quirks develop later than usual so I don't want you to give up hope! There is still a chance he might develop it later rather than never." His head dropped a bit, "I saw how excited he was to find out if he had a quirk but I'm afraid as of right now he doesn't have one, it might be best to tell him sooner rather than later that his quirk might not manifest into what he would have hoped." He frowned, "I am sorry Miss Midoriya."

Inko rose from her seat, unable to say anything she bowed her head in thanks as she headed for the door. -What should I tell him? Hearing that he has a quirk will make him happy but will he think I'm lying to him if I said that it might develop later than everyone else's?- She closed her eyes and knew what she would say.

A smile formed on her face as she opened the door and looked at her baby boy, "There is my hero! Guess what the doctor said? You have a quirk Izuku! You can be a hero!" She exclaimed happily to the boy who was previously jumping up and down in his seat stopped and his eyes widened.

"I-I can be a h-hero? I h-have a quirk?!" tears began to fall from the boy's eyes as he processed the information before a huge smile formed on his face as he ran into his mother's arms as they both cried happily at the good news.

-I can be just like All Might!- he thought as his mother happily took his hand and began to head home, -I can't wait to tell the kids at school!- he thought with a smile on his face.
