Masaru has always hated hospitals. Maybe it was the relation to sickness, the cold clinical walls, maybe it was the fact that he was just a teensy bit scared of needles, but he was sure that the biggest problem was that the austere quiet of its halls were a far cry from the loud wild energy that permeated from his wife and son. The tap of tiny feet against the cot side and the scratch of pen on paper were the only things reminding Masaru why he was here, to figure out just what Izuku's quirk was.

After the disastrous quirk awakening that was yesterday, Inko had been rushed to the hospital. Mitsuki and Katsuki were with her right now. He had canceled several important meeting, but it was a small price to pay to help little Izuku.

"Alright, I think we have an idea on what Izuku's quirk is," exhaled the doctor as a serious expression covered his features, "Izuku has some kind of biological manipulation quirk. Which, as it is, would be fine except for two major factors." Izuku perked up as the doctor talked, he had always been a curious kid, and apparently, his own quirk was no exception to his curiosity. "The first is the fact that it doesn't just change one singular part of the body," continued the doctor, "the entire body apparently rearranges itself under the effect of his quirk, and, unless specifically directed, it mutates rapidly. Meaning that just contact with him could cause shock for the victims."

"What do you mean contact?" Asked Masaru, a grim frown found its way in his face as he saw Izuku flinching as if realizing something.

"I was getting to that." Frowned the doctor, "The second problem is that his quirk factor never turns off. Meaning his quirk will be active no matter what."

"Does that mean I can't be a hero?" Sniffled Izuku, tightly clutching the edge of the cot.

"Of course not," reassured the doctor, before turning to face the curly-haired child with a wide smile on his face, "your quirk is strong and bif you can get around those two problems I'm sure you can be a hero. Now I believe our appointment is over so move along little Izuku, I hope your mother gets better soon."

"Thanks!" beamed Izuku as he all but skipped out of the room.

Turning around Masaru shook the doctor's hand. "Thank you for those kind words, Izuku really needed them."

"Don't thank me just yet, Izuku will have a long way to go, not only learning to deal with his quirk, but he will need to deal with people's stigma as well, after all not everyone can tell the difference between a villain and a villainous quirk." Waved the doctor before returning to his folders. Later, Masaru drove Izuku home getting ice cream on the way back for Izuku, though that part will be their little secret.

A far cry from her husband, Mitsuki was not having such a great time, somebody upstairs had apparently said that she shouldn't get any good news today. Pinching the bridge of her nose she remembered what the doctors had said about Inko's condition.

"I'm sorry to be the one to tell you, Mitsuki-san, but it's unlikely that she'll be able to be changed back."

Those words had been deafening to her and Katsuki's subsequent glare and shouts at the doctor only got another cold assessment.

"As it is Inko-san's body has undergone extremely massive changes that seem to have took pieces of her internal organs to complete them, as well as irreversibly changing her DNA." The doctor's finality has seemed to lock her in place. "Under normal circumstances we'd just have another biological manipulation quirk just take away the changes and fix her up. The problem is that her DNA was reprogrammed so that the scales, as well as all the other changes, are now coded to her biological makeup. So even if we did change her back, her body would just regrow the removed items. We did the best we could and repaired the organ damage, but any change of the level necessary to fix her permanently could put her body into a coma."

She gripped the wheel tightly before looking into the backseat. Inko sat there entertaining Katsuki by telling him about embarrassing moments in her youth. But the changes in small woman were almost to clear. She looked like the smallest brush against her might shatter her. The greenette's arms now seemed impossibly thin, her once healthy skin was now a nearly translucent white, and her voice was so weak, barely hovering above a whisper as she told Katsuki about the time she got lost at a cherry blossom viewing.

"She will likely never recover from these changes, the demand these scales have on her body is huge, I can prescribe some nutrients supplements to help her, but the weakness your seeing in her will never go away, it's likely she will need help to complete any strenuous asks now. I'm really sorry Bakugo-san but this is the extent of what I can do." Finished the doctor, staring at her with eyes that were filled with a mix of pity and clinical finality.

Mitsuki felt tears prickle against her eyes, fighting to keep them in she focused on the road, wishing blasphemously that this had happened to someone, anyone else.

•2 weeks later•

Izuku was excited, mommy and he were moving in with Kacchan's family. He had heard from Auntie Mitsuki during dinner, after a whispered discussion between the three adults, something about his dad being a deadbeat? Izuku didn't know what deadbeat meant but, assuming the way Uncle Masaru said it, it was probably a bad word. Maybe Kacchan would know, Kacchan always knew bad words.

Izuku excitedly continued packing, They had apparently found an even bigger house where they were all going to live together, he and Katuski would even get their own room! Izuku had gone back to the doctor several times over the last 2 weeks, apparently, he manipulated something called DNA, and he forced the body to match those changes. Which meant Izuku had to redraw his hero costumes all over again. There were all kinds of limits like he couldn't manipulate two different strands of DNA at the same time, and that apparently it hurt, as well as a bunch more, like never turning off. It sucked not getting kisses and hugs from Mommy any more but it was better than her getting hurt.

Izuku's wardrobe had also changed to match his quirk, long sleeves and pants were almost always a must. After all, he didn't want to accidentally hurt anyone. Izuku and also gotten more skittish with contact in general, when kids he didn't know went for high fives or when the grannies in the neighborhood went to pinch his cheeks, he'd whimper before running away. The image of his mother spasming on the ground still burned in his mind. All though he didn't want to seem weak to his mother or Kacchan he was a little scared. His quirk was pretty scary and villainous. But All Might always smiles so, so would Izuku.

"Bzzzt" the buzzer at the door rang filling in the now empty rooms of the apartment and bounci

off the mountain of boxes, mainly scrapbooks containing his baby photos, piled inside the living room.

Izuku quickly zipped up his bag, "Coming!" Izuku scrambled over boxes and piles to reach the door. Once there he stood on a stool, tiptoes extended to reach the doorknob, whoever made doorknobs so high up deserved a good spanking, it was always too hard for Izuku to ever open the door. As he finally turned the doorknob he pushed toward with all his might but the door wouldn't budge!

"Izuku sweetie, the door is a pull door when you want to let someone in, not a push door." He heard Auntie Mitsuki say, trying really badly to stifle her giggling."

Managing to pull the door slightly open Izuku leapt off the stool and looked up at Auntie, and all the nice people who would be getting their boxes.

"Hi, Auntie where's Kacchan?" Greeted the toddler before tilting his head cutely, wide eyes staring questioningly at her."

'Ahhh so cute' thought Mitsuki as she smiled warmly, "he's in the car waiting, do you have your toys ready?"

"Yep" the four-year-old answered before entering the maze of boxes, only to come out a minute later with an All Might backpack and action figure in tow.

"Alright kiddo get moving, the nice men and I will get your mom ok?"

"Ok!" Izuku quickly raced off to join Katsuki in the back seat of the van.

—-

The move didn't take long, the house was pretty close to where they originally lived but it was much bigger. Izuku marveled at his new room as the moving people unpacked his things for them, one was even using his quirk to carefully float everything to the shelves they had just placed.

"Uwahhh, soo cool!" Izuku shouted, " what are your quirks? They all look so cool."

"Mine is just simple telepath while my buddy here has super strength." The older man smiled. "Well we're just about done here," he continued, "So we'll be going little buddy now you better behave." As he walked away helping his coworkers pack away their equipment.

Izuku walked around the house getting a feel for the new area he found his mom within her room. Looking up at him she smiled and beckoned him over.

"Come over here Izu, sit with mommy, do you want to use the computer?" She smiled sleepily.

"Mmm Yeah," he murmured.

"Do you want to watch All Might, again?"

"No thank you, mommy,"

Inko's eyes widened in surprise, could something be wrong, Izuku never refused anything to do with All Might. "Honey, are you feeling well?"

"Yeahuh I heard from the doctor I affect D...NA so if I can learn how to do it better I can fix mommy."

"You'll have to practice too my little Izuku." His mother smiled quietly as she switched on the laptop near her bed.

"No! I don't want to hurt people," cried out the child, "hurting people is bad."

As the two sat separated by several sheets, they started to watch and read about the complexities of DNA. Unbeknownst to them, a small blonde had heard their conversation.

—

Katsuki was worried, Izuku pretended to be happy but he heard the sniffling inside his best friends room, he missed being able to touch people and animals. Then he heard Izuku wanted to improve his quirk but didn't want to activate it on things either, which was stupid, how was Izuku gonna get better if he never used his quirk. "Auntie had said Izuku needed practice, and if Izuku wasn't gonna find something to practice with for himself I need to find one for him," thought Katsuki as he marched to his dad with a determined gleam in his eyes.

"Old man," Katsuki started as he clambered up the couch his dad was laying on, "you saw Izuku's quirk assessment right can you tell me what was on it?"

"And why would you need that Katsuki," his dad chuckled out as he ruffled his hair.

"So I can get Izuku a training partner," Katsuki struggled to get his dad to stop ruffling his hair.

"Well it will be a lot harder than you think, Izuku's quirk has a lot of downsides and restriction, even with how powerful it is."

"Like what?" Questioned Katsuki

"Well first there's the fact that his quirk hurts people, which means he'd need something with a pain nullifying quirk, the second is that it has to be a living thing or else his quirk doesn't activate, and finally it needs to have multiple different DNAs so Izuku doesn't accidentally change it when he doesn't want to. Finally, it'd have to be able to withstand lots of damage from Izuku constantly rearranging its entire body. That's a lot of hard to fill criteria Katsuki."

"Okay, so I need a painless, multi DNA thingy, super strong animal...easy," Katsuki stated as if his cocksure attitude and spunk would make it happen.

Masaru sweatdropped at his son's statement, "I don't think that will be as easy as you think Katsuki."

"Yes it will, I'm gonna be the next #1 hero so if I can do that, this will be easy." Katsuki looked at him incredulously.

Before Masaru could even correct Katsuki's impossible expectations he felt a hand lightly squeeze his shoulder.

"Hey, don't correct him ," she smirked down at him, "It's keeping his mind off of Inko and Izuku, and it's cute watching him try his hardest to help his friend, I'll go with him to adoption centers around town, after all, he's a kid after the first week of not finding anything he'll probably give up."

—

Sometimes Mitsuki wanted to go back and punch herself in her smart mouth. Katsuki definitely had the drive to be a hero, if his willingness to ask her to take him to every goddamned adoption center in the city daily was anything to say about it. It had been 3 months since then and the blonde was pretty sure that she has spent more on gas than any other time in her life. At least he was doing this for a friend, but Mitsuki is pretty sure her wallet wasn't going to take that excuse from her. It's even worse because her little brat has made all the adults swear an oath of secrecy, saying he wants to make his gift a surprise.

Quietly she flipped on the TV and waited for Katsuki's to ask her to take him to those adoption centers again. As the room filled with the drone of reporters and news anchors, she heard a quiet shuffling from behind her.

"Oh, hello Mitsuki." Smiled the green haired mother, "you waiting for Katsuki-chan again?"

"You know it," Mitsuki sighed as she scooted over to let Inko take a seat, "I think the employees actually know me by name now."

"With how much you two go to the center I'm not surprised."

"At least Katsuki is putting his energy to something better than blowing up all the furniture. That reminds me how are Izuku's studies coming along?

"Really well actually, maybe it's because he used to put so much time in learning about heroes but his ability to retain, work with, and understand DNA is getting much better, I think he might be able to learn 5th-grade level material soon."

"It's good Izuku-chan is so studious compared to Katsuki, as smart as he is he spends more time researching adoption centers and when they get new animals than he does addition and subtraction."

The TV droned on talking about the latest reports on a medical company being sued for illegal testing. Barely listening, the two mothers chattered on enjoying each other's company.

"You know, Izuku is scared Katsuki-chan doesn't want to be his friend anymore." Inko casually mentioned

The Blonde mother choked suddenly, "why would he think that?" Surprise and confusion flashing across her face at the bomb her friend had so nonchalantly dropped.

"It's because Katsuki has been going to those adoption centers with you, and whenever Izuku asks what he's doing Katsuki-chan refuses to tell him." Chuckled the greenette.

"If only my son wasn't so dead set on making this a surprise then it would be so much easier," said Mitsuki as she let out a long-suffering sigh.

Suddenly the door burst open with a shout "Mom! We're home and we need to go now!" Screamed the source of Mitsuki's headaches, and the burning hole in her wallet.

"Can I know where you're going Kacchan?" The smaller of the two asked.

"No, it's a secret just study with Auntie Inko, once I finally get it I'll tell you what is." Answered the explosive boy frankly.

"Ok you little munchkin, let's get going, hopefully this is the last time," Mitsuki said as she swiped her keys and her purse. Waving goodbye to the pair of greenettes.

"Maybe, we need to go to the one in Hosu by the way'" smirked Katsuki, " the news said that the kennel there would be getting a large influx of animals needing new homes because of the recent lawsuits."

"And how did you know that?" Mitsuki raised her eyes as she buckled Katsuki into his seat.

"It's been on the news all week mom," deadpanned the four-year-old, "plus, Izuku told me that a good hero needs to research their opponents"

"So nice of you to put so much effort into finding your friend a dog."

"Best friend," corrected Katsuki.

"Alright, best friend, however, you should probably put in more effort to hanging out with him, a little birdie told me that he's been feeling really lonely recently." The mother focused on her son's face as he realized what he had been inadvertently been doing. If only Katsuki had developed a sense of social awareness above knowing when people were looking down on him, and how to be aggressive.

"Ok, I'll fix it when we get home," Katsuki frantically nodded. As the two drove out of Mustafu the sun began to lower in the sky, the trees and buildings along the road slowly thinning out.

1 hour later

The pair of blondes got out of the car, stretching stiff muscles as they walked to the animal shelter.

'At least the people won't be able to know my name here' thought Mitsuki wryly as they entered the cool lobby.

"I'm sorry but we can't keep that...thing here," Shouted a worker into a phone agitation pouring off his body, "we don't have the equipment to contain it, period, find another place or something because if it stays here we will have to put it down, it's too much of a danger to the other animals." Placing down the phone the worker gave a groan before raking his hands through his messy hair.

"''Scuse me," the younger Bakugo said on his tiptoes trying to get the man's attention, "we heard you have an influx of new animals can we see them, and can we ask if they have any of the qualities we need as well." The ease in which he said this showed how long the two had been going on these daily escapades.

"Oh, yes sorry for that," said the man sheepishly, "if you show me your requirements I can quickly get you a catalog and point to you which ones match those descriptions." The man quickly turned around grabbing some catalogs before following them to a set of chairs. "Alright, so what are these requirements you have?"

"It needs to not feel pain, be unable to die due to constant extreme shifting of its bodies organs, have multiple sets of DNA, be good with kids, not mind loud noises, and be strong enough to help with hero work in the future." Katsuki belted off the outrageous requirements as if they were the most obvious things in the world.

"Excuse me, what?" The man spluttered.

"I apologize for my son," interjected Mitsuki before Katsuki could repeat what he said, with a smile that she hoped hide how done she was with all of this, "I'm Mitsuki Bakugo and this is my son Katsuki, may I ask you name? And Katsuki, sweetie," The blonde mother sent a meaningful glance to her son, "please let me do the talking."

"Hello Bakugo-san I'm Kyocho Kaigosha," answered the now dubbed Kaigosha-san as he quickly gathered his composure, "I caught what your son said I was just surprised by the requirements, may I ask why you have them."

"Katsuki here has a friend who recently developed a quirk that is rather dangerous, it more or less prevents contact with any living thing, those requirements, we learned from a doctor would create something that could allow him to hold without hurting it." Answered Mitsuki.

"I see let me think to see if we have any animals with quirks that are available and what they have."

"Ah no rush, but just being curious but what was going on earlier, you seem rather stressed out?"

Kaigosha-san seemed to regain his aura of stress, sighing deeply, "it's a new arrival, it came from the recent illegal animal testing bust, the only problem is that they have multiple quirks, one of which is unable to feel...pain." The man slowly trailed off, before looking at them, "I might know something which can satisfy all your requirements but I'll need to see if it does have the necessary quirks if you could give us a couple hours to call in some quirk analysts."

4 hours later

'This is taking forever' thought Katsuki as he watched the clock tick by. Hopefully, these doctor people would be done soon and he'd get to go home with a new partner for Izuku in tow. Suddenly the door creaked open and a man dressed like one of those mad scientists from the cartoons came up to them, taking hurried steps.

"You two are the one looking to adopt I assume," spoke the doctor, "if so I'll have to tell you the potential problems you will have with the dog, and later you will have to undergo screening to ensure that you will not mistreat it."

"Yes, we are," Katsuki's mom said, "we'll take the screening but can you tell us what my son is getting us into?"

Katsuki twitched leveling a glare to the older blonde. "Well I'll tell you what you will be facing adopting the dog, they have what seems to be 3 quirks, it's first is an absorption quirk that lets it absorb other animals it bites, this fulfills your requirement for multiple sets of DNA, but makes her extremely heavy." The doctor readjusted his glasses before continuing his droning. "The next 2 quirks were likely taken in by animals they absorbed, the first is what we have dubbed organless, the entirety of its body is made of a new muscle structure with each cell acting like every cell at once, this would help prevent any shock of mass changes of its characteristic as well as making it likely that the dog will live way past what any other dog might. Finally, there is a pain nullification quirk that she grabbed making it more or less perfect for your needs."

"Well if that isn't just a nice little dues ex machina I don't know what is." Chuckled the mother as Katsuki blinked trying to process everything the doctor had said.

"Not exactly, the dog is friendly for all accounts but gets aggressive around to many people, they also weigh about 2 tons."

"What!" Exclaimed the pair as they looked at the doctor incredulously.

"There's more," continues the vet, "we have a volunteer who can understand animals all those animals absorbed are to some extent 'awake' they are unable to control motor movements and don't display signs of feeling pain or discomfort but it might mean the dog could be erratic in behavior."

"That it," Katsuki asked wondering why this part matters after all being 2 tons seems like a much larger problem, "if so mom let's sign the papers and bring them home."

"If you are still fine with this dog and the problems he will probably bring you can have him, just sign here." The doctor said this as he handed Mitsuki a pile of forms pointing at a dotted line.

It was taking a while for Kacchan to get home it was almost 7 hours since they first left. It was almost bedtime but Izuku wanted to stay up for his friend. As he looked down from the window in his room he decided to continue reading his book. He had been reading a lot of books on anatomy, the more he knows the easier he could possibly control this ability and prevent bad side effects. Yawning lightly Izuku tried to focus on the latest chapter over bone structure and what they were made of. As he started to turn the page he heard a soft shout from downstairs

"Izuku, sweetie, Katsuki-chan is back with Auntie Mitsuki, they have something to show you." His mother called excitement leaking from her voice. Rushing out of his room he was met with a wall of fur and flesh. Knowing what would happen Izuku leapt back hiding his eyes from whatever horrible disfigurement he had just caused. Only to get licked on the face and hear loud barks. Opening his eyes he saw the dog in front of him. It's was big, with fluffy fur that seemed to blend from black and dark brown to light blonde as it got closer to his underbelly*. It had large expressive eyes and a snout wet with drool shoved into his face as it continued to lick at him.

"Ehhehe, stop it, no stop I'm ticklish," giggled Izuku as he fell over succumbing to the dogs' surprising weight. Suddenly he realized he was touching the dog, "No, stop, get away! I don't want to hurt you!"

"It's fine," smirked Kacchan as his mother seemed to have bent down struggling to hold in her laughter. "The dog's got quirks that will negate the problems with your quirk, so now you have no excuse not to play with me or practice to be heroes go it."

"Kacchan, you got him for me?" Questioned the greenette as he finally wiggled out from under the massive dog.

"Yep, now we can practice to be heroes," Katsuki practically glowed with pride as Izuku seemed to gaze at him with awe and admiration.

"Thank you so much Kacchan!" Beamed Izuku as he circled his arm into the dog reveling in the contact he had been missing for the past months.

"Ok you two, calm down and Izuku, what do you want to name him?" Masaru asked lightly ruffling Katsuki's hair.

"Ummm Mochi, cause he's squishy like mochi." Izuku hesitantly murmured before tilting his head cutely. Only to see everyone else deadpan at him.

"Really that's what you choose Izuku it's sooo la-"

"Woof!" The now dubbed Mochi barked happily before giving Izuku's another slobbering kick to the face.

"Well, I guess that his name now, I can't believe that's the name he gives this monster," Mitsuki groaned with face in hand, "Inko your son is so plain."

"Hey, now I think it's a…. wonderful name." Inko countered looking back at Izuku who now seemed more concerned with playing with his new dog.

"Well at least he's happy," smiled Masaru as Katsuki rushed over to Izuku and Mochi to play with the two, his grievance over Izuku's atrocious naming forgotten in favor of sinking into the thick fur. "Though I know we're all in for some headaches in the coming years."

AN: The dog I'm using as a model for Mochi is a Sarplaninac cuz they're cute and fluffy and like super big
