"Alright let's talk." Midoriya looked up to see David Shield staring daggers into him. "What was that out there?"
"Wh… What do you mean?" Midoriya put his hands up trying to fane ignorance. "I really don't know either."
"Bull shit." David looked at All Might. "He has it doesn't he Toshi?"
"Yes I passed it down to him." All Might sighed
"Well that explains why your quirk levels have been dropping so dramatically." David put his hand on his chin. "Listen, Midoriya we're gonna run some tests on you. I promise this won't hurt, it's just to check quirk levels."
Right after David explained everything there was a knock on the door. "Papa everything is ready now." Melissa popped her head into the room
"Thank you. Alright let's go." David led them into a room filled with monitors and a clear chamber that is filled with liquid.
"What is this?" Midoriya walked up to the chamber.
"That's a solution that helps locate and monitor a person's quirk". Melissa walked up with some wires. "While in it we can see the growth and decline of a person's quirk.
"Oh wow that's awesome." Midoriya had a huge smile as he was nerding out. "But what are those for?" He pointed to the wires.
"Those help us monitor you while you're in there. They send signals to us letting us know all your vitals." David grabbed one. "Unfortunately I'm going to have to ask you to strip down to your boxers."
Midoriya looked down. "Do I have to?"
All Might walked up and out a hand on Midoriya. "Unfortunately that's the only way to get accurate readings." He gave the boy a smile letting him know it's going to be alright.
"Alright let's do this." Midoriya took. Deep breath as he took off his costume. He was shaking not just because there was a girl in the room but all his scars were out in the open. He looked down and could feel the eyes on him.
"What happened?" Melissa asked him as she was attaching the monitors and wires to him.
He didn't raise his head. "It's a long story." He walked up to the chamber and put on a mask to regulate his breathing. He then climbed in and submerged himself in the solution."
David began to work on the computers making sure all the data was coming in and that everything was running smoothly. Melissa monitored his vital signs and was occasionally walking to the tank to look at his scars. She looked down at him. "Uncle Might what happened to him? Those marks aren't natural." Her voice wavered
"It's not my place to tell." All Might hung his head
David studied the data as it came in. "I've told you before that it's impolite to try and pry into someone's personal life if you just met them."
"I'm sorry. It's just I saw how he was fighting and it hurt." She started to tear up . "Those two were going all out while he was holding back. I know he had that smile and was confident but he just seemed so scared the whole time."
David just sighed "I know what you mean but you can't force your way in. These things take time..." David stopped "Wake him up now!"
"Is something wrong?" All Might stood up
"These readings don't make any sense." David continued checking to see if there was an error in data but couldn't find any.
Melissa woke Midoriya up and helped him out. "Is everything alright?" Midoriya asked as he started to dry off with a towel.
David just stared at the computer. "Sit down we need to talk."
Midoriya nodded and quickly put on some athletic clothes and sat down. "Is something wrong." Midoriya looked nervous waiting for an answer.
David still hadn't turned from the computer. "This data makes no sense. It's reading shows that you didn't have a quirk till just a few months ago." David turned around. "I checked this data and the programs multiple times. There was no error in any of them."
Midoriya put his head down. "Well you see sir I was actually born quirkless." He tensed up he could feel the room staring at him again. "It wasn't until before the entrance exam that my quirk just miraculously appeared." Midoriya already knew that David knew about One for All but he didn't want to risk Melissa finding out. Midoriya slowly raised his head to see a smile.
"So you were just like me." Melissa stood next to him. "Why didn't you say anything last night? Was it because the rest of the class doesn't know?"
"No I just didn't want to make you feel bad knowing the one person that knew the feeling of being quirkless was lucky enough to get one." He looked back down.
David looked at Midoriya. "So I'm guessing you weren't fighting all out because you don't have full control over your quirk?"
"Yeah right now I can only handle 15% if I use any more my body can't handle the back lash." He looked at his arm's.
"Is that why you're covered in marks?" Melissa took his hand and looked at it.
"No... only my arms got messed up because of my quirk." Midoriya put his head down he started to shake again.
David walked up to him and knelt down to be eye level with him. "What are you so afraid of when you fight? You have such strength yet you seem to be terrified."
Midoriya trembled. "I'm scared of everyone's eyes. I can always feel them on me... judging me."
"Why would they be judging you?" Melissa backed off him a little.
Midoriya stood up and looked at All Might who just nodded at him. "I'm scared that they're judging me for who I once was and they only treat me this way because I have a quirk." Midoriya walked to the wall and leaned against it. "I was bullied and tormented my whole life when people found out I was quirkless." Midoriya slowly slid to the floor as he continued to tell them the story of the past leaving out the parts about Bakugo and the roof.
After Midoriya had finished he hid his head scared of the reactions. "You know between the two of us I'm glad you were the one to get a quirk." He looked up and saw Melissa smiling at him with a tear running down her face. "I may have missed out on things my friends could do but I was never treated any different. But your life was tough and I think fate chose you."
Midoriya couldn't help but start to cry. "Thank you."
David looked at the two of them. "Hey Melissa why don't you head back to the dorms I have a few more questions to ask."
Melissa got up and started to walk out. "See you later." She waved as she walked out.
David's smile turned into a serious expression. "She doesn't know about One for All so now we can talk freely. Now explain how you vanished and reappeared."
Midoriya looked up. "It's a second quirk. Yesterday I was focusing on my quirk trying to figure out what it was when I entered my own mind. In my mind I saw a figure approach me. I had seen this figure before." He looked at All Might. "I've seen them before during the sports festival when I was brainwashed. The figure told me that it was a previous user of all for one and that all of the previous users' quirks were still stored inside it. Apparently during my fight with Monama I unlocked one called Vanish. As of right now I can only use it if I'm channeling 10%.
David looked at All Might. "Do you know anything about this?"
"I've seen the figure before but it only told me that it wasn't time yet." All Might thought back. "It's true that the previous users of One for All leave pieces of themselves behind, but this is something I've never heard of."
David looked back at Midoriya "Is it alright if I take a sample of your blood I want to run some more tests." Midoriya just nodded. David took some of his blood and stored it in a vile. "Alright that's all for the day thank you for your time." Midoriya stood up and walked towards the door. "Oh one more thing, that costume is pretty basic if you like I could make you some changes and upgrades to support your fighting style." David smirked
"SE.. SERIOUSLY?!" Midoriya jumped in the air in excitement. "YOU'D REALLY DO THAT?"
David let out a small laugh. "Of course, why wouldn't I? I made All Mights costumes so I should be responsible for his successors as well."
"Thank you sir that would be amazing. I just hope it stays true to the original because it holds sentimental value to me." Midoriya bowed.
"Great I'll look over the paperwork and see if I can have it done by tomorrow." David smiled as he stored the blood.
