Chapter 1-All that glitters
Inko's mornings are pretty calm; wake up and prepare breakfast for her baby boy then walking him to the local kindergarden after which she would spend the day cleaning and spending time with her friend Mitsuki. One loud thud, a scream for help and another thud shattered her calm morning.
"Izuku," Inko screamed as she rushed into her son's room, she hadn't even known he was up yet. The sight of her son lying face down on the ground brought a sense of dread to her soul. She checked her child over with her basic first aid knowledge, relieved to find a pulse albeit weak. "Izuku, honey, answer me," her calls were answered with incoherent mumbles, "Hold on honey, I'm phoning the hospital!" A quick call to the ER had them ready for her and her son. Cradling her son protectively in her arms when Izuku mumbles something about All Might, she finds his All Might figure close by but something is different, it's completely gold colored. Not thinking much more about it she pulls it to her with her quirk, it flies to her and into her hand so easily it surprises her by how heavy it is.
Securing her baby into her car she quickly drives them to the Musutafu emergency room where they immediately hook Izuku to an IV and begin doing tests when the doctors find that the golden figure was found near him when he collapsed. Many hours later her baby finally awakens and the test come back positive that her child's quirk had activated and caused him to fall unconscious; in the end she was just happy her child's dream of awakening his quirk became true.
"It's quite remarkable Mrs. Midoriya, you say this figure was one of his toys," a female doctor with a long antenna with a bulb on the end asked as she looked over the child.
"Yes, All Might is one of his favorite heroes. I'm surprised I was able to use my quirk on it, it must have been near 13 kilos," she said sheepishly with a hand on her cheek, normally she has trouble just bringing ordinary objects to her, much less something made of solid gold. "Is my baby going to be okay? Why did he fall unconscious?"
"Well you see, my best hypothesis is that he barely had the energy to manage what he did," as the female doctor was going to continue there was an alarm and several nurses shouting while running down the hall to her son's bed. Both women rushing after the nurses found Izuku once again unconscious but with the sheets and railing of his bed glittering gold. "Unfortunately it doesn't appear he has the ability control it, I guess it is like the mythical Midas touch."
"Isn't there something you can do to help him?! Please, he's all I have," Inko practically begged the doctor who simply put her arms above her head and took a deep breath.
"I'm afraid there's nothing I can do," Inko started crying geysers of tears but trickled to a small river as the doctor continued, "Nothing I can do but I can contact an old college classmate of mine, if anyone could find something to keep your son from putting himself in danger every time he touches something it's David but it won't be cheap."
Inko holds up the solid gold statue of All Might, "I doubt there's an issue with paying them in this case, Doctor."
"Haha I suppose not then, let me give him a call while you wait here with you son and explain to him to not touch anything else. I'm not sure what time it is where he is."
As the doctor leaves the room, Inko sinks into a chair near her boy and runs a hand over the golden rails and sheets with a worried filled sniffle, "Oh honey, please be okay…"
Meanwhile in the female doctor's office she waits while her phone rings, there's a click and a groggy sounding voice on the other end, "Hello?"
"David! It's Elizia, from college? You sound rough, long night?"
"Eliza? Oh right the," David starts to say but is cut off.
"Anyways, the reason I'm calling is I have a patient here in Musutafu ER. He was rushed here after his quirk manifested," Eliza began, flipping through her notes on Izuku Midoriya.
"What exactly does this have to do with me, Eliza?"
"Well I'm calling to ask for help on behalf of the mother, her son is suffering from Rampant Quirk Activation. He's already turned an All Might toy, his sheets and bed rails into gold and is unconscious for a second time this morning. We were hoping you could help by designing something to inhibit his quirk for now to prevent him from accidentally activating his quirk."
"I'm sorry, he turned this stuff into what?! I think there's something wrong with the connection."
"Nope, you heard me, solid gold," She smirked knowing she had him on the line and just had to set the hook, "From what the mother implied she's willing to part with the son's All Might figure to pay for the help. I don't believe I have to tell you how much a 13 kilo solid gold statue of All Might could be worth, imagine the collectors and what you could fund with it." She smirked at his agitated grumblings as he argued with himself over the choice.
"Give me a few hours and I'll see what I can come up with. Freaking Anglerfish…" With that statement there's a click and the line goes dead, Eliza gives an arm pump as she lets out a creepy laugh before settling her features while heading back the Midoriyas. With a flourish of her lab coat she flings the door open to reveal young Izuku happily bouncing in his bed studying the railings.
"I got my quirk! Mommy I did it! I can't wait to tell Kacchan about it! He'll be so impressed!"
"Fufufu, good news, I just got off the phone with my friend, he said to give him some time and he'll see what he can come up with. If I can count on anybody it'd be David."
"I can't thank you enough, Dr. Ruā," Inko said teary eyed and bowing to her gratefully.
"Please, call me Eliza," Inko then tells her that she can call her Inko, "I must admit I had to bribe David with your son's All Might doll."
"What," Ikuzu cried out while sniffling, "I don't want to get rid of my All Might!"
Inko spend several minutes explaining to Izuku that she would buy him another All Might but they needed this one to pay for the item to keep him from accidentally triggering his quirk.
"…Okay Mommy, you can have my All Might. I promise I'll learn about my quirk, I'll become so good with it that I won't need any help!"
Inko just smiled as she caressed her son's forehead, "Thank you Izuku, that's very mature of you." Inko turns to Eliza, "Do you think it would be safe for Izuku and I to go home today?"
"I'm afraid not, we'll have to wait for David to get back to me with what he's been able to come up with. We wouldn't want cute little Zuku here to faint again by touching something or god forbid someone. I'm not even sure how his quirk would respond to organic material." Inko pales considerably at this, the last thing she would want is for her baby to turn one of his friends into gold. "I give David two days minimum before he comes up with something."
"Right," Inko says unconvinced of this David fellow,"Is there any way I could ask you to look after Izuku for me while I go home and get some of our things?"
"Of course! If anything comes up I'm sure one of the nurses can watch him if I'm needed." With a nod and checking that Izuku would be okay with staying with the nice doctor.
~~Midoriya's POV~~
Much like Dr. Ruā had guessed, David came through with a design and shipped the finished product to the hospital; a set of gloves made from high density carbon nanotube fabric that should resist being transmuted by my quirk. Needless to say mom's weekend was spent watching me running around with his gloves on pretending to be a hero. Unfortunately our weekend came to a crashing halt when I had an encounter with Kac-chan and his other two friends in the park
"Hey nerd! Where were you?! We were missing our favorite punching bag," one of Kac-chan lackeys, the one with extendable fingers shouted while doing a little jab in my direction.
"Well uh, I was in the hospital, I got my quirk! Isn't that amazing, Kac-chan?!"
"Oooh? Well let's here it then, what's your pathetic quirk," Kac-chan asked excitedly and making small pops off his palms, "After all, it can't be more awesome than mine!"
"Well uh you see kac-chan," I said holding up my gloved hands, "When I touch something with my bare hands it turns really shiny and yellow!"
Kac-chan laughs loudly and points at me, "What a useless quirk, we might as well just call you Deku for how worthless it is! If that's your quirk then why aren't your gloves yellow and shiny?!"
The extended finger kid jeers as he tackles me and begins trying to yank off the gloves, "Come on Deku, let's see your dumb quirk!"
"No! Mommy says to not take the gloves off," I cry as the kid manages to pull my glove off, Izuku reaches out and grabs his hand with the glove in it. Extendable fingers begins screaming for his parents as gold begins creeping across his fingers freezing them in place. I rip the glove from his hand while Kac-chan just has a thousand yard stare as the kid goes crying for his parents, as the shouting becomes louder as the parents join the kid, he snaps out of it and quickly runs away. Thankfully I wasn't touching the kid long enough to do much more than gold plate his fingers, they then found out that when they're only plated like that then they revert back to normal after a certain amount of time. I didn't interact with Kac-chan much after that incident, every time he was forced to be near me he'd get skittish and call me a deku, never becoming physical in his few and far between bullying.
'I've decided, I shall call this quirk Midas' Touch and I shall train endlessly in order to prevent what happened to that kid from ever happening to anyone else,' I think to myself and clench my fist, 'I will work on my endurance and energy so I can use it without knocking myself out. I shall become a golden hero like All Might and become the number 1 hero or my name isn't Izuku Midoriya.'
