"Before I begin to tell you this story you must first need to know about 'Quirks' what is a quirk? I hear you ask. A quirk is what we call a superpower. There are 3 known quirk types: Emitter ; Transformation ; Mutant."

{Emitter type quirks have the ability to either release certain substances, or alter materials around them in certain ways. Emitter-type Quirks usually require a conscious effort to activate, and some even require large amounts of concentration in order for them to remain active.

Transformation type quirks cause the user to take on a temporary alteration of some kind. Transformation-type Quirks allow the user to temporarily "transform" their body in a variety of manners, sometimes enhancing existing features or perhaps adding new features to the body altogether Transformation-type Quirks generally affect the user exclusively.

Mutant type quirks can have a wide variety of features and abilities depending on the individual, but the common similarity seems to be that these Quirks are a part of the user's physicality, causing the user to exhibit irregular bodily features that generally have some sort of purpose to them. As a result, Mutant Quirks are passively active and, at a glance, are the most identifiable.}

"The first recorded quirk was in the dead of night when a baby started glowing, after that it spread like wildfire to young and old. Around 90% of the population of Earth has a quirk based off of the 3 types, the 10% that don't have a quirk are labeled as outcasts, people who can't live up to anything always overshadowed by those with quirks... I was apart of that 10% until an accident happened which forced my quirk to activate in order to save my life, while that doesn't seem bad at first. Forced quirk activation can and will have serious if not fatal drawbacks, I however probably had the worst Forced quirk activation drawback recorded in history."


[Aged 4 doctor for quirk analysis office]

"If you look at your son's x-ray you will see that he has more than one joint in his pinky toe, this means that your son's chance of developing a quirk is next to impossible as the body of a quirk holder is more streamlined." The doctor said while pointing at the extra joints on the x-ray scan.

"Does that mean he won't develop a quirk?" My mother asked.

"While his chances of developing a quirk is next to impossible there is a very slim chance that he will develop one, to be honest he might have a dormant quirk, its just 'unlocking' the quirk that's the problem if he does have one that is." The doctor replied.

"I see so he might already have one but it might not be 'active' is that correct?"My mother asked.

"You are correct Miss Chaos" The doctor answered.

"Thank you or your time doctor." My mother said as we walked out of the office.


[1 hour later, Home]

"Hey mom I'm gonna go to my room okay" I said as she went into the living room.

I opened my bedroom door which had a sign hanging on it which said 'Caution Mad Scientist at Work' the door closed with an audible click from the lock.

I walked towards my bed when i stopped about 2 feet away from it, I look around the room.

Next to my bed is a desk which my computer sits on with bits of tech in sates of being either pulled apart or repairing, when it comes to making technology I have quite the mind.

"I know you're here Wendy" I say out loud in my empty room.

"No i'm not" Was the answer I got, the speaker giggling uncontrollably.

"Huh... guess I was wrong" I reply to her, as I sit down on my bed.

"Bennnnnnn" Is all I hear before I get forced to lie down on my bed from the sudden weight increase.

When my senses come too all I can hear was giggling coming from the person sitting on top of me.

"You got me again Wendy, I didn't even realize you were here, you're getting better that's for sure." A smile plastered upon my face as I open my eyes to see my giggling sister.

Unlike most people our age Wendy managed to manifest her quirk when she was 3 instead of it manifesting at 4, her quirk also reminds me of an anime show I once watched, if i remember correctly it was called Fairy Tail, Wendy's quirk is almost identical to one of the main characters powers, i believe it's called Air dragon slayer magic.

I even came up with the name for her quirk, well technically I borrowed the name from Fairy Tail. My sisters quirk is called Air Dragon she really likes that name.

My sisters quirk is a combination of my father and mothers quirks, my mothers quirk allows her to control and manipulate the air around her. My fathers quirk allows him to transform himself into a miniature fire dragon surprisingly his fire has the ability to heal people.

My sister has used the character Wendy Marvell from Fairy Tail to give her inspiration on what she could eventually do with her quirk, she's really into Fairy Tail what else can I say.

Anyway this is where things start to go wrong.

"I got you again yay *giggle* I always get you because you don't pay attention" She told me.

"Well you might always get me, but I always manage to get you." I say as I flipped us around so I was on top.

"Ben. No. No. No" She said as realization dawned on her, she fell into my trap again, she always does.

"Ben. Yes" I reply as I raise my hands up.

"Ben. Noooo. *laughter* Please... stop *laughter* Please" She begged, as I started tickling her.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

I stopped tickling her as I looked over at my computer which was beeping and flashing red, i walked over to it realization dawned on me.

"That's not good!" I shouted as fear spread across my face.

I threw my door open with a loud BANG, I raced down the stairs and out the backdoor into the back garden.

I ran towards an old looking shed as though my life depended on it, and in someway it did.

I threw open the sheds door... that was a BIG mistake, flames burst through the now open door as the sound of an explosion echoed throughout the area.

I was thrown onto my back from the force of the explosion, I managed to keep conscious just long enough to see that my family was okay, as they had followed me when I tore through the house, where the shed once stood however there was now a small crater, I blacked out.


[unknown amount of time later]

Beep Beep Beep

'Why is the first thing I hear when I wake up a bloody alarm clock?' I ask myself.

"Ben I don't know if you can hear me or not but please wake up, mum and dad are worried sick that you won't wake up. It's also incredibly lonely in the house without you. *sniff*" Wendy tells herself while crying. Hearing that was the final straw for me. I'm making my sister CRY.

My eyes snap open, i'm blinded from the suddenly opening my eyes so fast but I don't care. My back groans in protest as I sit up, the blinding white light in my eyes fades away. I look over at Wendy she has her hands to her face and she's clearly crying. I force my arms to move as my joints are stiff from not moving for a while.

Wendy flinches when I wrap my arms around her. "Be... Ben you're awake!" I can see the absolute joy on her face, she starts crying happy tears and she launches herself into my grip like she's desperate to make sure that i'm actually awake, which makes me question.

'How long have I been asleep?' I ask myself.

[5 minutes later]

Wendy was still crying in my arms, now with a smile on her face as I told her that she was the reason I woke up.

I move back so I can see her face clearly, her eyes are red and swollen from crying so much her eyes fill with tears again, I move my hand to wipe the tears away.

I stop however when I hear a small almost unnoticeable mechanical whir come from my arm, I look at my arm searching for the point of origin where the sound came from.

I'm visibly surprised when numbers, figures among other things start popping up in my vision. The one that confused me the most was a pop up that said Calibration : 20%.

"Ben are you alright?" Wendy asked me nervously.

"I really don't know" I replied honestly as I seriously have no idea whats going on. Wendy jumps in fright.

"WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR EYES!" She shouts.

"Calibration at 30% complete" I reply.

"Huh?" Wendy asked confused.

"I have no idea" I say bluntly.

"Calibration complete, powering down." I say, with a robotic edge in my voice.

Wendy calls my name as I fall backwards onto the medical bed.

I try to make sense of the words, numbers and other things as they fly past my eyes, I slowly begin to realize that I can completely understand what they mean, they aren't just random words and numbers, they're parts of a system report, MY system report.

I wake up 5 minutes later.

"Ben what happened you just collapsed!" Wendy asked concerned.

"I'm a bloody robot!" I reply.
