Age 6-

"When will sora-ojisan come again elaina?"

"Like I said yesterday I don't know stop annoying me izuku"

It had been a month since Izuku's sixth birthday and he was awaiting the return of Gran torino. Since Sorahiko had told him no training until six Izuku had been waiting for his sixth birthday, but not only did he not attend his birthday party, he had made no attempt of contact.

So as they walked home the pair was surprised to see gran torino with a lady in a wheelchair disappearing in the elevator. In a move that he was developing for months he manipulated the rod to stop the gate from closing.

"I recognise that rod, its that runt Izuku." Came gran torino's voice as the elevator opened again. Elaina ran forward to hug her 'jiji' and Izuku started his tirade" You said that you would train me when I was 6 and my birthday was last month so-".

"yes yes I remember boy lets go talk to your mother first then" he turned to Elaina "You take Nana to your mother and tel her I'll be back in a while"

"Ehhh but I wanted I to come too" Nana laughed at that and said," Well go ahead then, these arms can easily take me to the apartment"

At that moment Izuku spared a glance at her arms and was baffled. Nana had GAINS. Even her legs looked really good. He wondered what the wheelchair was for but knew that was rude so he didn't ask.

And so they ended up in front of Inko. After some small talk and tea Gran torino said," Okay Inko tell me, the boy has asked many times but I must ask you formally, Do you want me to help in the boy's training? Do you want him to become a hero?"

Inko's eyes gained a sheen and she croaked out," I don't think any mother would want their child in such a dangerous profession Gran Torina-san," Izuku began to protest but was stopped by Elaina," But I know no one can stop him from being one, he's too determined to be like All might, my little Izu-chan" Izuku both blushed and smiled at the mention of All might. "So yes I would rather have him trained by a pro than not. I'm sorry for the trouble."

Gran Torino sighed," There goes the only chance to get rid of the kid" he muttered inaudibly.

"So boy, how good is the control now?"

Izuku replied," Well I'm technically training it all the time so I can control it very well I think"

He demonstrated by suddenly accelerating the speed of rod that was until now floating above him. The rod flipped around swooped past all there faces, it accelerated and de accelerated in the blink of an eye and then suddenly came to a stop, right in his hand.

Sorahiko was rather impressed, though he didn't show it. ' A third limb that he can control basically perfectly, in combat he could turn out better than that rookie Hawks, wouldn't have his speed though, but a lot of impact from that rod, enough to incapacitate.' He was a retired pro of course he kept an eye on the new heroes.

"Well then, lets go visit an old friend of mine"

A 20 minute bus ride found the group of four in front of a very huge dojo. "Jiji will I come here too?"

Gran Torino sighed, given how inseparable the two had been the past two years he should have seen this coming." Well no" Already he could see the looks of despair and what seemed like deep betrayal in their eyes." Ok listen, Elaina is going to be, like I said a long range fighter so she has no need for martial arts training, well she benefit with a few cqc moves but I can teach that" he muttered the last bit." What she need is to get her stamina up by leagues which she will do by joining swimmimg lessons and running"

"So lets go in now" Elaina looked like he had kicked her in the face and had to be comforted by Inko and Izuku just gained a resigned look on his face

It was replaced immediately by raw fan boyism when he saw Gran Torino talking with Yoroi Musha, the number 9 pro hero. He and Elaina were bouncing on their feet by the time Gran torino made his way back with the no 9 hero. It seemed the boy had corrupted his granddaughter with his fan boy tendencies.

Yoroi Musha introduced himself in a voice that suited the hero suit he was in, probably coming back from patrol. " Hello little kids your grandpa here tells me you want to be heroes". He said it in a way that told them he had said it many others.

"My quirk armory gives me the ability to draw weapons that I store in it. A quirk gives a fighter basis on what his strengths are and what path he should follow towards being a good use to society. On that note show me your quirks"

Izuku repeated his actions from before and got a "interesting" from Yoroi. Elaina did a basic fireball spell and launched a fireball the size of Izuku's head. She had to explain the water wall spell she had because she was already feeling a bit dazy from that single spell.

"Well young lady I have to say I don't think you would benefit here. What you need is to build up stamina" Gran Torino adopted an 'I told you look'. "As for you Izuku I think I know what martial arts we should have you master"

The confidence that Yoroi showed in Izuku made his steps a tad bit happier which was noticed by Yoroi as he led them through the hallways.

Izuku and Elaina could see a lot of rooms with martial arts being practised on their way behind Yoroi. The ones whose kanji they could read was taikondo, muay thai and kenshin ryu. The one they stopped at wa sat the end of the corridor and had the kanji for 'bojutsu'and with a slash it said in English 'Arnis'. " Oi Joshua I told you I'd find you a student" bellowed Yoroi.

The sole occupant of the room looked up at them and immediately made his way towards them. "Hello my name is Joshua Garcia"

….

Silence

….

"Yeah Joshua doesn't talk much. But he is a beast with a bo staff. Come on kid show him your quirk" Yoroi said to Izuku. Izuku controlled the rod to show the range and speed he could manipulate it and suddenly felt it being grabbed.

' He felt it before his eyes could track it' sensed the three adult males.

Izuku looked up to see his rod in the hands of Joshua. "Ok." The silence was awkward as it was the first time.

" Well then Gran Torino, are you satisfied?"

"I'll be checking in on the boy so you'll know if I'm unsatisfied"

"You're as crass as ever, Mrs. Midoriya this is a paid dojo so please contact the reception for the payment. I'll be heading home if that is all." As he turned to leave he felt a tiny hand clutching his suit.

"Could I have your autograph?" "Of course shonen" " Me too" "Of course girlie"

I'll make the next chapter Elaina centric. I have plans that I don't doubt some of you will hate. And I fucked up the name of Elaina mother so I'll be fixing that.
