"Izuku? Is that you?" Inko asked looking at who she was nearly positive was her son.
"Of course, it's me mom. Why is something wrong?" Izuku held a confused look as he turned towards a mirror only for his eyes to widen. While his hair was green there were now bright red highlights coming from random sections and one of his eyes has gone from green to cerulean blue. He blinked looking deep into his now multi-colored eyes. "What happened?"
"Izuku are you feeling alright? You're not in pain or anything are you?" His mom asked completely worried for her son. She walked towards him before looking him over. "Besides the red hair and blue eye, you seem to be fine."
"Why did my hair and eye even change out of nowhere?" As Izuku looked at his new appearance Inko's eyes widened. Running off she quickly grabbed a few things from around the house and brought them to her son.
"Izuku your quirk!" Placing a book, quarter, fork, and pencil she motioned Izuku to look at them. "See if you can use a quirk! You're my son so you should have my quirk. Close your eyes and focus and see if you can feel your self grabbing something ok?" Inko watched as Izuku looked confused and even slightly worried before taking a deep breath and closing his eyes. 'Please let him have mine. Don't let him be like that man. He doesn't need to be connected to that man. Not since he left him.' Inko watched her son before taking notice of the fork. And how it was now standing on its points. She watched in amazement before tears came from her eyes. "Izuku l-look." She called causing Izuku to open his eyes. His eyes widened seeing the floating fork. After a moment the quarter joined it and Inko noticed that Izuku had a black outline around his hand. They both watch in fascination as the two items spun in mid air before moving towards Izuku's hand.
"I have a quirk." Izuku said looking at the two objects in his hand before the black glow disappeared. "I have a quirk!" Izuku screamed this time as he looked at his mom. The mother son duo smiled at one another tears coming from Inko as she hugged her son. She pulled away after a few seconds looking him over once more.
"I don't know why your hair or eye color changed when you got your quirk, but it seems like your quirk is like mine." Inko paused as she grabbed the fork and quarter from her son. "I wonder why you only moved these two?" Looking at the two objects closely she quickly realized that the only things to move were made from am metal material. "Can your quirk only move metal?" She thought for a moment before looking towards the clock. "Oh, Izuku we need to get you to school! You'll be late!" Panic enveloped the Midoriya's as they both rushed to finish getting ready. Once Izuku was dressed he grabbed the breakfast his mom made for him and devoured it before rushing into the car. Nothing was going to ruin Izuku's perfect attendance record.
Inko got into the car and drove off to the middle school to drop off Izuku. As they drove the two continued to talk about the possibilities of his quirk. From what to call it to how to properly use it and even a costume to work with it. They talked until they got to the school. "Thanks for the ride mom. I can't wait till I get back home and we can talk more about my quirk!" Izuku was excited as he waved to his mom. She waved back giving her own excited farewell before driving off. Once he turned around, he noticed a few students whispering while looking at him. Gulping down some air he walked towards his classroom trying to ignore the curious whispers despite getting very nervous from the stares.
"Is that Deku-Kun there?" Izuku flinched at the voice calling his nickname. Turning around he was met with a pink haired girl. Her hair was going over her left side with the sides shaved down and a lip ring. She wore simple black jeans that hung off her waist and a loose red top with the word poison on the chest that showed her left shoulder. She walked towards him before reaching forward and grabbing his chin. "Well well well. Did it finally happen? Did the useless loser finally get a quirk? Or did he just decide to dye his hair." The girl laughed as did the group of girls behind her. This was Rena Miyaoka. The resident bully next to Katsumi.
"He obviously dyed his hair. As if a loser like him would suddenly get a quirk."
"Yeah he's nothing but some hero nerd. He was probably so desperate to fit him that he changed his hair color a little. Not bad do it kind of works. It would be better if he wasn't you know. A loser." A few of the girls commented getting words of agreement from the rest. They were suddenly silence as Rena glared at them her eyes glowing with a blue fire around her purple eyes.
After shutting up her groupies she turned back towards Izuku regaining her smirk. "Now then. Why don't you tell me what's with the whole hair change hmm?" Finished with what she wanted to say she pushed him back letting his chin go.
"I-I woke up this morning and my hair and eye were like this. I didn't dye it at all." Izuku flinched when Rena leaned closer to his face making him blush. While he had the confidence to talk to a girl being close to one was a different story. Especially when it came to a girl like Rena who had no problem hurting him when she wanted to. Before anything else could be said a random blur came through picking Izuku up and dragging him away. The girl's blinked before Rena growled. "It's that bitch again." She glared in the direction Izuku was grabbed before scoffing and walking off.
While Rena walked away Izuku coughed not at all ready to be picked up like that. Once he caught his breath he looked up towards his savior and smiled seeing who it was. "Looks like your my hero again today." Izuku stood up only for the person to cling to him.
"Of course, I'm your greatest friend after all." A female voice came from the figure who looked up revealing her yellow eyes and ash blond hair. She wore a tan cardigan with a black skirt and a green scarf around her neck with the words Izu Squad on it. This was Izuku's best and closest friend. Toga Himiko. Having met at the beginning of middle school Izuku was quick to notice the lonely girl who people turned away from calling her a villain and freak. Seeing the sad look, she had Izuku tried his best to get close to the girl and that was all it took to become her friend. Desiring attention and companionship Toga happily allowed Izuku to get close to her and bond with one another. This went on to the present day with the only hiccup being when someone told Izuku about her so-called villainous quirk which let her transform into people only if she had drank their blood beforehand. Despite learning this Izuku did not try to stay away from her. If anything, it made them closer as friends when Izuku stated he didn't think she was a villain for being born with her quirk. It's what she did with it.
While not wanting to be a hero she also had no intention of being a villain either instead wanting to live a tamer life despite her desire to drink blood and finding people being hurt attractive.
"So Izuku why did you dye your hair and put on a contact anyway?" Toga asked curiously. While she didn't mind it actually liking how Izuku looked with it she was a little confused on why he did something like this.
"Oh right! Toga look!" Izuku quickly reached into his pocket pulling out a handful of change. Toga watched in fascination as the change started to float in his palms before squealing in joy.
"You have a quirk!" Toga wrapped Izuku in a hug squeezing the life out of him in joy. She watched Izuku as he trained to become a hero. Despite how much she wanted his dreams to come true she couldn't help but be scared of him actually fighting a villain without a quirk. While most villains didn't have quirks that were truly impressive there were a few that had strong quirks. Seeing the floating metal above Izuku's hand she couldn't help but feel relief that he now held his own quirk. "What does your quirk do exactly?" She asked.
"Oh well when I tried it out this morning, I tried using it on different things except it only worked on things made of metal, so I think its some kind of metal tracker. I'm trying to think of what to call it do." Izuku said crossing arms and putting on a thoughtful face.
"What about polarity?" Toga said getting a confused look from Izuku. "In my science class polarity is when certain things are affected by magnetic or electric waves. Basically, magnetism and all that." Izuku looked at Toga in surprise for a moment.
"I always forget how smart you are sometimes." Toga simply giggled into her long sleeve. She sometimes forgot herself "But yea that actually sounds like a really good idea! Now all I need is a cool hero name!" Izuku was excited. He had a name to go with his quirk now thanks to his closest friend Toga. The two smiled excited at each other before a bell suddenly sounded. "Oh, shoot were going to be late for class!" Izuku and Toga quickly ran off to their classroom. Once they made it the second bell rang signifying that class was going to start so they walked to their seats that were next to one another. The two chatted for a few ignoring the looks Izuku was getting for his hair and eye until the teacher came in. A slender woman in a dress shirt and skirt with raven hair walked to the board.
"Now class lets continue from where we left off."
"Yes Miss Luan." Some from the class called.
Luan wrote some math equations on the board and turned around only to stop upon seeing Izuku. Giving a sigh she pointed towards him. "Midoriya why have you dyed your hair and put on a contact. It is not good to make yourself stand out when you don't have a quirk Izuku." Ever since he has been in this class Luna never liked Izuku. She grew up in a family that believed a person's worth was how strong their quirk was. In her eyes Izuku not having a quirk made him less worthwhile then the other students. While Izuku and Toga didn't appreciate it the rest of the students openly mocked Izuku since the teacher did nothing to stop it. On that note she has also shone to favor Katsumi due to her explosions quirk.
"Miss Luan Izuku actually has a quirk now! He showed it to me earlier!" Toga like always came to Izuku's defense.
"You expect me to believe that Midoriya suddenly gained a quirk over night? I find it very unbelievable that he has." Luan scoffed making Toga glare at the teacher.
Toga suddenly smirked before she pulled out a quarter from her pocket. "Izuku-Kun catch!" Toga then threw the quarter at Izuku who held his hand up just in time. A black outline covered the quarter signifying that use of his quirk and the quarter spun in the air before floating back towards Toga who grabbed it out of the air. The room was silent as they turned towards Izuku in shock. He scratched the back of his head in embarrassment while the class gawked at him.
"You got a quirk!?" Luan was completely shocked as she watched Izuku blush at the attention.
"Yes Miss Luan. I woke up and I was like this and I also had a quirk. I was quite surprised as well." Izuku gulped at the stair he was getting not only from Miss Luna but the glare he was getting from Katsumi who suddenly stood up.
"You damn nerd stand up and fight me!" Katusmi quickly ran at Izuku who stood to try and run away but wasn't quick enough and was grabbed by Katsumi. She held his collar with one hand and had explosions in the other. She held a smirk as she pulled him close to her face. "Still the same old useless Deku even do you got a quirk huh? Come on and do something already damn it!" Katsumi stopped the explosions from her hand and grabbed Izuku's chin.
"Katsumi were in school. Were not allowed to use our quirks." Izuku tried to reason with her only for him to be pulled away by Toga standing in front of him glaring at Katsumi. She returned the glare before pressing her chest against Toga and smirked at her.
"You best move now or else I'll kick your ass vamp-bitch." Toga continued to stand there glaring at Katsumi who started to get annoyed.
"Come now you two. Any problems you have can be talked over. Without the use of your quirks alright? Now then Izuku tell me about the quirk you suddenly have. It has caught my interest." Luan spoke catching the classes attention as they also were curious about Izuku's quirk.
"Well I am not sure why but my quirk but mixed red into my hair color and changed one of my eyes blue. As far as I know I can control things that have metal in them, but I haven't tested it much since I only got it this morning. Me and Toga decided to call it polarity and I was planning on testing it after school today." Izuku explained what he knew while the whole class payed attention. 'Wow this is the most the class as ever listened to me talk before. It was only Toga who listened to me at all.' While he was happy the class was actually paying him some attention, he was mostly annoyed that it was only because he gained a quirk.
"Well I would love to see more of your quirk you are also right. No quirks on school grounds. With that said Katsumi you will have to stay after class for detention." Katsumi growled but said nothing seeing as Luan was her teacher. Last thing she needed was anything bad on her record to prevent her from becoming a hero.

"Ugh class was killer today." Toga groaned as she leaned against a tree with Izuku next to her. He was quick to nod while relaxing beside his best friend.
"Everyone hounded me about my quirk today. It was nice at first but got really annoying really quick. And it's only because I have a quirk now that they even bother talking to me at all. If I didn't wake up like this then everything would have been the same. At least I got you to hang out with and brighten my day." While Izuku smiled towards Toga the second he turned away he didn't notice the massive blush on Toga's face as she inwardly squealed in joy. She was kind of glad he was dense, or she wouldn't be able to focus on school at all. She would be to busy cuddling up to Izuku during classes and after them to.
"Say Izuku-Kun. What school do you plan to go to when were done with middle school?"
Izuku looked towards Toga and she smiled seeing the determined look he held. "I'm going get into U.A. High. That's where All-Might went to after all." Toga giggled hearing the fanboy in Izuku.
"Well then we better get to studying when we get home. It's not exactly easy getting into the top school in Japan after all." Izuku looked at Toga surprised.
"Your going to get into U.A. as well? But I thought you wanted to live a simpler life instead of heroics?"
Toga waggled her finger at Izuku before poking his nose. "Don't forget that U.A. also has general ed classes for students who want a good resume. Imagine the kind of jobs I could get if I graduated from U.A. Highschool. I could practically work anywhere with a diploma like that. And I could get into the greatest college's around as well." Toga squealed excited but, Izuku knew the job she truly wanted.
"Any job you say? Like a hospital perchance? More specifically as a nurse?" Toga blushed while lightly scratching her cheek in embarrassment.
"Of course, you would remember what I wanted to be in life. Once I become a nurse Izuku-Kun you better hire me on the spot so I can keep you ready to go."
"Wouldn't have it any other way. Now come on you said you got permission to go to my house from your parents so let's hurry up. Me you and my mom could all decide on hero's names and costumes. My mom texted me she was making Katsudon to celebrate my quirk tonight."
Toga quickly jumped up grabbing Izuku's hand and began pulling him along. "Then hurry up already! I love auntie Inko's Katsudon and we got to come up with the best name and costume ever! Get you but moving!" With that Toga ran dragging Izuku along yet neither notice the small white glow coming from Izuku's hand. Nor the heated glare coming from both a pair of red and burning purple eyes.
Alright everyone. This is chapter 2 and I have one question. What kind of hero costume would work best with Izuku? I want to hear some of your ideas and if one sounds more awesome then all the rest, I'll use it as his costume for the story. I will also give a shout out to the person who sent in the idea. Let me here your opinions both on the costume and what you think of the story so far. Till next time I hope you all have a good time.
