It was a cold winter morning, Izuku was leaving with Aizawa for his weekly quirk practice routine. In a week he was to start with his middle school and was trying to get a better grasp at his lightning.
They reached UA and headed straight to his designated training field, upon the final test by Nedzu, he had given Izuku some free reign. He was allowed to roam about the campus as long as he informed a pro where he was. Also, Nedzu and Recovery Girl were no longer part of his weekly practices, but as a precaution, Aizawa was to be present there at all times.
Izuku and Aizawa reached their spots and began with their mild warm up session, so they could smoothly continue their training without any hassle.
Melissa had landed in Japan a couple of weeks ago, and due to her Uncle Might already arranging everything that she might require upon her stay here, she was already fitting in with the foreign place.
When Toshinori had told Nedzu that he had chosen a successor that happened to be his best friend's daughter, Nedzu made the arrangements for her to start her middle school education in Japan and subsequently when she finally landed here, he couldn't contain his excitement and asked him to bring her to his Alma-mater.
Melissa was ecstatic about meeting Principal Nedzu, she had learned a lot about him and his past from her father. She also knew that he was the Principal of the school that Melissa will be applying to in a couple of years, so saying she was thrilled and scared to meet the individual would be an understatement.
The successor and predecessor went up to UA in his car, at first she was a little surprised by the fact that The Number One Hero drove a beat up station wagon, but she guessed that it would let him remain incognito, as no one would suspect such a thing.
The ride to UA was a silent but peaceful one, after they reached the gates of UA, Melissa was gawking at the site, she was at one of the finest Institutions the world has to offer. Toshinori was filled with a warm feeling, remembering his time as a hero in training, he pushed those thoughts aside as he walked with Melissa in tow, right to the Principal's office.
Melissa was staring at the huge door that said, 'Principal Nedzu', as she was about to knock on the door, Toshinori voiced, "Now, Young Melissa, the Principal can be a little scary, but he means well".
Before she could ask what was that about the door opened revealing a dag? Bear? Mouse? Individual wearing a suit sitting on an oversized chair, gawking at the screen in front of him.
"Good morning Principal Nedzu, I am Melissa Shield. It's nice to finally meet you, I have heard a lot about you from dad", Melissa greeted and bowed as Toshinori pulled a chair for her to sit on and one for himself.
"Ah, good morning Young Melissa, Toshinori, I hope you are enjoying your stay here in Japan. I know it wasn't easy for you to leave your father like that and start all over here", Nedzu offered both occupants a cup of tea as he also greeted them both.
"It was alright, I mean I do miss Papa but I can finally see myself achieve my dream and for that, it's a price to pay", she delightedly took a sip of tea.
"I am glad to hear that, and just so you know, if All Might haven't told you yet, the reason I wanted to see you was because I wanted to meet the soon to be 9th user of One for All", Nedzu stated flatly, not cryptidly like he always spoke in.
Melissa was taken aback with the sudden bluntness from Nedzu's part, but let it slide. What really caught her attention was the fact that Nedzu knew about All Might's secret power. She glanced at Toshinori as he spoke up, "Yes Young Melissa, Nedzu is one of the few individuals that know about One for All. And it would certainly help you in your time at UA, another to have at your side".
"Yes indeed, I want you to know that if there's any problem regarding the quirk, i'm also here if you need to discuss anything about it", Nedzu chirped as he took the last sip on the never ending tea, "Allow me to formally welcome you to Japan and I hope I will see you in our fine institution in years to come".
Melissa was about to thank him, when suddenly the sound of thunder was heard, followed by a cackle of electricity. She glanced outside the windows, the once clear day.
All Might was alarmed immediately and the nostalgia of a similar fateful event came rushing back. Just when they were about to deal with it Nedzu stopped them and told them it's a kid's Quirk and he is practicing.
They followed Nedzu to the Main Field where Izuku was doing his routine Quirk application tests.
They were in awe as they saw a young man around the same age as Melissa, levitating mid-air with purple veins forming on his body as he played around with the weather like it was as easy as drinking water. While both of them were baffled to see a kid with immense power, the purple veins that were on him, were now bouncing around the young man. The familiar sight of him Floating gave Toshinori mixed feelings, either anger or sorrow.
Aizawa and Izuku saw two blondes with Nedzu coming his way, he paid caution to the wind and came back to the ground.
Melissa noticed the weather change immediately back to its peaceful setting, she had multiple questions running through her mind, but one stood out, who was this boy?
"It seems you are increasing your proficiency on the lightning bolts, though I must remind you about Recovery Girl's warning, your body cannot handle more than two of those, so keep that in mind", Nedzu said as he walked to Izuku and Aizawa.
Aizawa was aware of All Might's condition and was baffled to see a similar blonde beside him, 'did he have a secret child or something?', he thought as he greeted Nedzu.
"Ah where are my manners, Young Melissa, Toshinori, this is Young Izuku Midoriya, Izuku, this is Melissa Shield and Toshinori Yagi, All Might's assistant as his agency".
Izuku's tired eyes were now filled with stars, "WOW! Shield! As in THE great David Shield, he is the Worlds' most renowned scientist who is sure to win this year's Noble Quirk Prize ! And was the genius behind all the All Might's suits and to this day! And woah! You work alongside ALL MIGHT himself, how is he in person?! Can you please get me an autograph?! Or is that too straightforward? I mean, it's not every day that I get to meetsomeonewhoworksalongsideTHEn- umberoneheroorthe...", and they lost him.
Aizawa was smirking beside watching his son's antics,"It's been a while since he went on such an intense muttering spree, it's normal, nothing is wrong with him, I had him tested. I am Shouta Aizawa. Looks like Nedzu lost me in the introductions there, not that I care", he glared at what he likes to call a rat, "It's a pleasure to meet you Melissa, nice to see you are doing better Yagi-san".
After they took the small time to greet each other, Izuku stopped fan-boying and apologized for his muttering. Toshinori formally introduced his honorary niece who had the dream of becoming a Pro hero one day.
Izuku, taking his cue, introduced himself as Aizawa's adopted son and that he wished to follow the same path. Toshinori was surprised that the cold hearted Aizawa had a son, but noticed that he introduced himself as Izuku Midoriya ,
"By the way if I may ask, why is that your surname, isn't Aizawa yet?", he curiously asked, Aizawa was about to intervene before things got out of hand but was interrupted by Izuku, "Sorry sir, but I don't know you well enough to share that information with you". Izuku bluntly bluntly.
Melissa and Toshinori saw him drop his eyes to the side in sadness and wisely decided not to pry in what happened.
After some light hearted conversations, Melissa and Toshinori took their leave while Aizawa and Nedzu were busy discussing... something.
Izuku was now 12, he was currently growing into a fine young man who remained calm and collected, standing at 5'4 with an almost well built body, and his now unkempt long curly green hair.
It was his first day of middle school, he was so excited he didn't even get a wink of sleep last night. After having everything ready and his bag packed he left off with Aizawa to his new school.
After a good 30 minute drive, they came within viewing distance of the school. Izuku was shocked that the school was absolutely massive and was now in the rich part of town. Izuku imagined the price to go to this school was astronomical. The golden plaque outside the school read 'Somei Private Academy' he thought the name sounded familiar but he wasn't 100% certain on that. Shouta thought, 'Good thing Nedzu is paying for the school, I would go bankrupt if I were to do it', as they walked to the gates, he hit the comms button before the doors opened allowing the two to enter.
It was a long walk from the gates to the main building, they finally reached the building as Shouta and Izuku made their way to the teacher's lounge to meet his homeroom teacher before the school would begin their sessions.
When they entered they were astonished to see the familiar site of two familiar blondes sitting opposite to a woman with jet black hair, and with a vibe that gave off that she was an office worker.
Both of them sat next to the blondes and greeted the teacher who introduced herself as Mrs. Yaoyorozu, which was a mouthful to say the least. Apparently Izuku and Melissa were going to be in the same class as her daughter and she hoped they would get along as her daughter was kind of a loner due to previous situations she had been through. Izuku and Melissa just nodded and said they would do their best.
Izuku and Melissa were just happy that they had at least one friendly face in the new setting.
When the students made their way to their assigned classes, the revelation hit Toshinori and Aizawa like a truck that Nedzu was responsible for picking out the school for both of them and neither of them didn't even want to think what that could mean.
Once Izuku and Melissa finally made their way to class, they were asked to introduce themselves, which went well for the first impression. After that, they made their way to the empty desks at the back and noticed who must've been Mrs. Yaoyorozu's daughter because she looked like a carbon copy of the teacher and just shrunk down. The classes continued uneventfully, in a rather free period, Izuku and Melissa got acquainted to each other much better than the first time around, they shared their motives of becoming a hero, their likes, dislikes, and hobbies. During this they would glance around the room and would see several groups of kids talking among themselves, but the onyx haired girl would just read her book sitting alone.
The rest of the day passed by, much to Izuku's boredom, that is until lunch. Izuku and Melissa had just devoured their meals, before looking around the cafeteria. They saw Yaoyorozu by herself and decided to go sit down with her. "Hello Yaoyorozu, do you mind if we sit here?", Izuku noticed everyone was staring at them like they were idiots.
The girl simply shrugged and decided to give the two a chance, "You may".
"Thanks, it's super hard starting a new school, when everyone already has their friend circles", Melissa rubbed the back of her head awkwardly, getting kinda weirded out by the fact that the cafeteria had gone nearly silent.
Izuku could feel the stares boring into the back of his head, he tried his best to ignore them, "So what's your quirk Yaoyorozu?", Izuku didn't miss how Melissa flinched at the question.
The girl visibly shook when Izuku asked that, he backpedaled immediately, "Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize it was a personal thing, you don't have to say anything", Melissa visibly relaxed at that.
The girl looked like she was deliberating something before finally responding. "No it's fine my quirk is called Creation , I can make any non organic material as long as I know the chemical makeup and I have enough lipids to generate the item in question", they watched her make a small metal rod appear from her hand. "Wow, that's amazing Yaoyorozu, there are so many ways to use that. So the more you eat, the more you can make", Melissa added, both girls unaware of what Izuku was thinking.
"Like how Poop works!"
As soon as he commented that, the cafeteria was so quiet you could probably hear a pin drop, Izuku immediately regretted his wording as the girl in front of him was about to explode.
Melissa was beet red, 'cause she knew, it was her that led them to this moment, then at the moment of judgement, Momo burst out laughing, this gave the whole room a sigh of relief. When the commotion settled down a bit, Izuku apologized if he'd offended her somehow, to which she waved it off.
"Yaoyorozu, If I may ask you a question, why are they all staring at us?", Izuku whispered to the girl, a bit embarrassed.
"It's because of me most likely, the last guy who tried to sit next to me I kicked in the crotch", she looked pained as she said that
While Melissa tried containing her laughter, Izuku was horrified and unconsciously covered his, "Oh um... do I need to worry?". Everyone around him was still staring and it was getting unnerving.
"That has yet to be seen Midoriya, so tell me, why did you two transfer here from out of nowhere?", Momo then shot a look at everyone in the cafeteria as they all slowly but surely returned to their own conversations.
"Oh that's easy, I was kind of homeschooled till now, due to the lack to control I had on my sort of dangerous quirk, so as soon as I got a better grasp at it, I came here!". Melissa was about to retort on the 'sort of dangerous' part, as she witnessed his quirk first hand, but shook away the thought.
"And until last year, I used to live in States with my Papa, so when we decided that I wanted to go to UA, to become a hero, He and Uncle thought that it would be wise if I attended middle school here, so as to fit in better in the new environment", Melissa said flatly, a bit clueless on how much emotion she should put in the Japanese words.
"Hmm, that sure is the rational way of doing things, but pray do tell me what is that about your dangerous quirk?", Yoayorozu was confused about what kind of quirk the resident greenette and seemingly innocent person could possess.
"Its Weather Manipulation, but it's really dangerous, like I can cause thunderstorms, hurricanes, and terrifying lightning strikes, by just a flick of a finger, though it kinda destroys my cells, that's where my second quirk comes in, It heals my cells as soon as they are destroyed by my first quirk!". Both girls were stunned, while being a dual quirk user wasn't uncommon but what was really surprising is how both were extremely rare quirks, .
Melissa quickly in an attempt to change the topic, chimed in, "By the way Yaoyorozu, why did you kick the guy in his…".
"Dick?", Izuku completed where she trailed off.
Izuku watched as Yaoyorozu sputtered out milk while giggling. She looked at the confused face on Midoriya for a moment before swallowing what milk she still had left and answered. "I knew it, you aren't part of the upper class are you? We wouldn't be caught dead using any language as crass as that and it's the second time you've done so".
"Oh I see, is there anything else I should know?", Izuku blushed, feeling like he was being looked down on.
The girl just laughed, "No offense Midoriya, but the etiquette they teach us takes years to learn. Besides I like you more this way, it's way more refreshing talking to someone who isn't so stuffy all the time. Also if you wanted to know why I kicked him in the... dick. He was acting like a complete fool, he came over and attempted to court me. His advances... were unwelcome to say the least".
Izuku just made a mental note not to get on Yaoyorozu's bad side, whereas Melissa was barely controlling her giggling.
"Is the commoner already being a bad influence on the young misses? We wouldn't want them to corrupt such noble ladies", Izuku said as he drew out his haughtiest impression. Thankfully, the horrid impression of nobility only seemed to make the girls laugh more.
At that moment, a similar thought passed each of their minds, they were gonna like it here.
By each passing day, the trio's friendship grew, and before they knew it, they became best friends, wondering where the hell were they in their childhood. They would walk together after school, go on small picnics together, visit each other's homes, and study with each other for exams. During their second year of middle school, they essentially became inseparable.
On one fateful day, they were visiting a small shop that was just a block away from their school. It was owned by a nice old lady. Over the time they had developed a habit to visit her store at least once every week to pick out some candies.
When they were stuffing their baskets with them they heard a loud voice coming from the counter, "Hey, put the money in the bag before I put this bullet through your head! Quick!", a loud voice said, followed by what seemed to be the person ready to pull the trigger.
All the three froze in space, the nice lady was being robbed, they had to help her. Izuku wanted to spur into action but he knew his quirk was almost useless in a small place like this, this would have been a perfect opportunity for Melissa to show her Strength based Quirk that she told them she possessed, but seeing the look of hesitation on her face, he quickly turned to Momo, who liked like was processing the situation around them.
An idea came to Izuku's mind, "Hey Yaoyorozu, make a tranquilizing dart, me and Melissa will make an opening for you to shoot!", Izuku whispered.
She complied and as her two comrades ran off screaming, startling the wannabe villain. Momo, a tube in front of her mouth, blew as hard as she could as the robber felt a tiny sharp item poke his neck and collapsed afterwards.
The three of them called the police and explained the incident, while the lady thanked them for their actions and offered them free candies to which they declined and paid.
This incident was bittersweet for the three of them, as for all intents and purposes they didn't want such a situation to happen in the first place, but like they say, people fighting together will strengthen their bond.
A week had passed since that incident and the growing bond between the three seemed to have strengthened a lot more, that is until…
One day Izuku woke up from a very strange dream, it was like he was in a black void and some muffled voices could be heard in the background, but whatever they were saying wasn't comprehensible, then a bright light flashed before his eyes and he woke up panting and sweating profusely, when he saw his hand, he was shocked to see a small blackish hole at the centre on both of his palms.
He ran towards the living room to find Aizawa making breakfast, he saw the confused expression on Izuku's face and then noticed something about his hair.
"Izuku what's with your hair? It's white, did you dye it?", he said, pointing at the side of Izuku's hair where a small patch of green had turned to a sickly white color.
"Huh? Are you kidding me! I am getting old?! And no way I'd do that!" Izuku said, running his hand through his hair and grabbing it.
Izuku showed him his hands, "By the way dad, I just woke up from a really weird dream, and then I saw these were formed".
Aizawa saw the holes on the palms of his hands and cursed inwardly, 'Just when the Problem child finally made headway with his quirk, something new happened'.
"Guess you are going to UA today rather than this weekend...", Aizawa sighed and groaned.
