I was playing Overwatch and watching MHA on another screen and I was like it would be cool if Izuku had Reapers busted ass powers. Yes I also think one of his power is summoning an unlimited amount of shotguns and none can convince me otherwise. Gender bending is fun.
"Normal speech"
"Thoughts"
Midoriya apartment early morning (Inko Midoriya POV)
Placing the finishing touches on the pancake stack I move the plate over to the table. Today was my little angels four birthday and I wanted everything to be perfect. This was important because Izumi was getting frustrated that her quirk was not showing up. Most of her classmates already have or were showing signs of a quirk but she had none. Even little Katsuki got and explosive quirk to match his personality, he was just like Mitsuki in that regard. So today I would also be taking her to a quirk doctor.
"Honey breakfast is ready!" I yell down the hall.
I didn't hear a sound as silence covers the house.
"Come one honey it's a special day so let's get up!" I yell again starting to worry.
Still not hearing anything I decided to check on my daughter to make sure she is alright. Reaching the door I crack it open to see a bundle of covers with a green head of curling hair poking out.
"Izumi it's time to wake up." I say softly giving the pile a light shake.
"Tired..." Was the muffled response.
"But if your tired who will eat the birthday cake I made for you?" I say in mock bewilderment.
"My cake..." She says moving around.
The covers came off and what I saw surprised me. Izumi looked the same but also very different. She still had her short hight and bushy dark green hair but her skin was now ash pale. When Izumi opens her eyes for a split second I thought I saw them glow.
"You ok mom?" She says probably because I was just staring at her.
"Oh Izumi I think something special happened." I say getting myself together.
She seems to take a hint and dashes to the bathroom. Once she's there I hear a squeal of excitement with a blur crashing onto me. Izumi is latched onto my leg jumping up and down cheering.
"I got my quirk!" She yells.
"I can see that honey, let's eat breakfast then head to the quirk doctor." I say giving her a smile.
"Yes! thanks mom!" She says running to the kitchen.
Musutafu quirk doctor 4 hours later (Inko POV)
"Well this is interesting." The doctor says looking at a chart.
We have been here for two hours and the doctor came and took blood and ran a standard physical. Izumi hadn't stop smiling since this morning and was talking a mile a minute, So many theories about what her quirk could be. The results had come back from the blood test and we both eagerly awaited the answer.
"What is it Doctor?" I ask.
"Well it seems that she has some type Emitter quirk that caused a mutation. The mutation has given her a good regeneration ability but that's it." He says putting down the paper.
"You said she had an emitter, but that's part of her mutation?" I say confused.
"Yes I did say that... well the best way to describe it is she's to young for her whole quirk." He says confusingly.
"What?" Izumi asked.
"Well your body has mature so your quirk won't hurt you. So just be patient it will be a great quirk. He says with a reassuring look.
"Do you any idea what it can do when it's ready?" I ask trying to get any information I could.
"Well her body is producing the same telekinetic your quirk does but it's like a cloud around her. If you come back in a few years I should have a better picture of what's happening." He says standing up from the rolling chair.
"So my quirk is like mom's?" Izumi asks .
"In a way... yes it's just like your mother's." He says patting Izumi on the head.
That seemed to reignite Izumi's excitement as she starts to list everything about my quirk, even a rather disturbing bit about how I could probably pull someone's heart out. But I chose to forget about that in favor of knowing she was still happy about her quirk. The doctor leaves and we both exit the exam room.
"So baby what do you want for your birthday dinner?" I ask as we walk out.
"Katsudon!" She yells now jumping up and down.
"All right birthday girl." I say smiling.
Aldera preschool playground next day (Izumi POV)
School was going great with the whole class thinking I had a cool quirk with the exception of one person.
"So what does your dumb quirk do?" Kaachan says with a frown.
"I don't know yet." I say smiling at my friend's brash attitude.
"What does that mean Deku?" He says gritting his teeth.
"The doctor says I can't use my whole quirk until I'm older." I say remembering the visit to the quirk doctor.
"So you have a useless quirk! That's stupid!" Kacchan yells pointing at me drawing attention from the rest of our classmates.
"It's not useless! It will be awesome when I'm older." I say trying to defend my quirk.
"You can't be a hero if your quirk doesn't work you Deku!" He yells shoving me down onto the ground.
My eyes teared up as the rest of the class started to murmur about me. Some classmates laughed at me while others agreed with Kacchan calling me useless.
"Kids no fighting." Came a less than enthusiastic voice of our teacher.
Kaachan grabs my shirt collar and pulls me up to eye level.
"If you don't have a good quirk then you can't be a hero Deku!" He yells dropping me to the ground and walking away with some other kids.
The rest of the day was a blur as others started to avoid me either thinking I was useless now or they were afraid of Kacchan. I left a trail of tears on the walk home all the way to the apartment door.
"Honey how was school!" Mom says from the kitchen as I walk in.
I didn't know what to say but I run into the kitchen and grab her leg and start to cry hard. She picks me up and carries me to the living room saying sweet words to calm me down.
"Izumi what wrong?" She whispers.
I calm down enough to tell her what happened and she did not look happy. She excused herself to make a call to aunt Mitsuki about Kacchan. I didn't know if it will help but I hope we can still be friends...
Aldera Junior High 10 years later (Izumi POV)
School was not easy when you have no friends. Most students didn't have an opinion on me but were to afraid of Kaachan to approach me. He has spent the better part of a decade putting me down and making sure no one becomes my friend. I still don't know why he hates me so much but any time I try to ask all I get is an explosion in the face.
"Our of the way you tall freak Deku!" Kacchan says bumping into my side.
One thing that came with my quirk was I am now 180 centimeters at age fourteen ,which was way taller than any student and some teachers. While that normally stopped other students from messing with me it didn't stop Kacchan and his cronies.
Not responding I walk to my desk and try to squeeze myself into it. Fact one about being tall was that I'm to big for a lot of things, the desk especially. Finally getting my knees under the desk I pull out my hero analysis notebook and adjust the new entry on Mt Lady. With a quirk like Gigantification she must have great skill not to crush buildings or people.
The teacher walked in and began the lesson for the day but I zoned out. Being a loner had its advantages like only studying instead of hanging out with friends, So I already knew the lesson. I kept writing and answering the questions the teacher would ask to see if I was paying attention. It was at the end when he asked a question that stirred the class.
"Since your all third years, it's time to think seriously about your future. I'll pass out handouts for your future plans now but... you all want to be hero's!" The teacher says throwing the handouts into the air.
The class erupted with quirk use so I just tune it out and kept writing. He finally gets the class under control like the idiot he is.
"Oh Bakugo your trying for UA..." The teacher say offhandedly.
The class goes crazy again yelling about UA and how hard it was. Kacchan just stands on his desk and yells about how he's the best and yada yada yada.
"And Midoriya your trying for UA as well..." He says in a condescending way.
"DEKU!" Kacchan roars quick stepping to my desk.
Knowing what would happen I move my notebook out of the way. Sure enough he slams his palms onto my desk causing and explosion burning the surface. I brace myself a little to stay seated which was not hard given my size.
"Trying to go to UA with a broken quirk! How stupid can you be! I'm the only one worthy of getting into UA, so don't even try!" He yells with a scowl.
"It's my choice if I want to try, not yours." I say with a rasp in my voice.
Another fun side effect of my incomplete quirk was my voice gained a raspy quality as I grew up. So I was tall and had a raspy voice with ash colored skin and regeneration... Nobody outside school and home ever believed I was in middle school. Most people thought I was in my late teens or early twenties.
The teacher stops Kacchan from causing anymore damage to finish class. Standing up and stretching from stuffing myself into a small desk. I see Kacchan walking over to me with his posey so I just sigh.
"We're not done talking Deku." He says in a menacing tone.
"Can we not do this today I have errands to run for my mom so I need to go." I say hoping this would be quick.
He glares at me before he noticed my notebook I'm holding. He makes a grab for it but I just raise my hand above my head moving it out of reach. Fact two about being tall, just raise anything above your head and it will be effectively out of reach for most people. He seems to give up on it and just intensified his glare.
"Don't apply for UA Deku, I don't need your uselessness getting in my way." He growls out leaving the classroom.
"Uh it's one of those days."
Musutafu city 1 hour later (Izumi POV)
"Why the hell does mom even need twenty radishes..." I grumble walking into a tunnel reading the shopping list she gave me.
Walking into the city to get groceries was a good way to kill time but this was ridiculous. The list I had was long with weird items in odd amounts, moms cooking was getting experimental to say the least. I shove the list into my pocket as I was about to reach the end before a strange sound stops me.
"Oh a large invisibility cloak how lucky." A massive slime monster says with a dangerous edge.
"Oh fuck that!" I think running to the exit but fall when a tendril snakes around my leg.
"Cant have you leaving so soon. Do me a favor and open up, I need to hide so stay still." The slime says wrapping me up with its body.
It moves up my midsection and behind my head permeating a smell of sewage. I panic more when something enters my mouth and starts to go down my throat.
"Do something! Anything!" I scream in my head trying to think of a plan.
All at once it stops hurting, in fact I couldn't feel anything. I thought I was dead until I look around and see that I was still in the tunnel and the slime was falling to the ground. A dark mist was filling the area where my body was and two glowing green orbs we're reflecting in the slime. I realize that was me, my body had become mist and my eyes were glowing orbs at the top. Trying to will my body back together I reform in front of the villain and my eyes returned to normal."Was that my quirk?" I think momentarily forgetting I almost just died.
"Crap I can't use your body if you can do that! I need to leave fast!" The slime villain yells starting to slither away.
"You won't be going anywhere! For I am here!" Fucking All Might says jumping out of a manhole. The slime try's to attack but All Might dodged out of the way.
"Texas smash!" All Might yells punching the air making a wind blast scattering the slime. Faster than I could blink he runs around collecting the slime in a bottle.
"Uh mam you may want to cover up." He says now addressing with his face turned away.
Looking down I noticed my uniform and shoes on the ground which means I wasn't wearing it...
"Aaaaaaah!" I scream quickly grabbing my uniform and putting it back on.
"Now I must be off! Have a safe day mam!" He says jumping off into the sky.
I just stand there putting to getting the series of events that took place in the last five minutes. I was walking to get groceries, I get attacked by a villain, I turned into a mist cloud, and the number one hero All Might splattered the villain...
"Ok what the fuck was that!" I yell to no one.
"Alright I need to get home, take a very hot shower, and bury myself in the ground because I just flashed All Might!" I yell again rushing home after putting my shoes back on.
Musutafu quirk doctor 2 hours later (Izumi POV)
Mom had understandably freaked out when I told her about the villain attack, while I left out the flashing. But was also happy my quirk finally evolved. She made an appointment for today and now I was sitting in an exam room after some invasive test to determine what I could do now.
"Well I can say you have one interesting quirk." The doctor says.
"I can turn into mist?" I say more as a question than a statement.
"When that's a little inaccurate, your whole body is made of super dense particles. You are Instinctively keeping these particles together with a telekinetic field that is part of your emitter quirk. But when you were in danger you unconsciously let the field down causing your body to disperse." He says.
"Is it dangerous for her?" Mom asks with a concerned look.
"No quiet the opposite. The particles that make up her body are naturally attracted to each other. When she is a mist particle cloud nothing can hurt her because the particles just move slightly. Also since there super dense they can't be damaged or moved without your daughter's telekinesis." The doctor says reassuring mom of my safety.
"Is there anything else?" I ask with an edge of excitement at basically be invulnerable.
"Yes actually your regeneration isn't regeneration, it's your quirk converting stray matter into super dense particles. In theory you could convert matter into anything but it will be unstable. Really your quirk is very versatile so you'll need time to figure out your limitations." He says rolling over to his computer.
I seemed to space out thinking about everything I could do with this. The analysts in me was salivating over all this information and application of my quirk. The teenager in me was jumping up and down at having such a cool quirk. A whole decade of waiting and hoping had finally paid off.
"Izumi, honey please calm down. Your starting to vibrate." Mom's voice breaks me out of my trance with a shake of the shoulder.
"Now let's update your quirk registration. Let's see your quirk is listed as regeneration/undetermined so let's fix that." He says typing out the info.
"So I get to name it now?" I rasp out.
"Yup now that we know what it is you can give it a name." The doctor says smiling.
Thinking about it I go over what names would apply, mist walker was cool but not very informative, particle cloud was accurate but sounded to clinical. Then I remember what I looked like with a body of black mist and two glowing green orbs floating at the top.
"I would like to name it Wraith." I say confident with my choice.
"How very poetic." He says typing the name into the official quirk database.
"Is there any suggestions you have doctor?" Mom asks standing up.
"I would say visit a quirk clothing store if your going to practice. They can incorporate your DNA into clothing so it will dissipate and reform with you." He says causing me to remember flashing All Might.
"Will do!" I yell dragging mom out the door with me.
Midoriya apartment dinner table 2 months later (Izumi POV)
"I need a weapon." I think eating some curry across from mom.
Quirk training was going very well, I could now dissipate and reform instantly. I was also experimenting with creating things, at first it was simple shapes but now I could make things like a game controller. The constructs only lasted about five minutes but they did work. I couldn't make anything organic like food but metal and other inorganic material was simple so long as I knew what I was making. Now I was trying to decide what kind of hero I was going to be.
"It can't be a blade because I want to keep my distance..." I thought plopping another bite into my mouth.
"What about a gun." Mom suddenly says.
"What?" I ask.
"A gun, like that one hero with the mask." She answered eating her own curry.
"Wait you how did you know what I was thinking?" I say wondering if she could also read minds with her quirk.
"Dear you were muttering everything across from me, I'm not deaf." She says with a smirk.
"Sorry but you would get me a gun?" I ask in disbelief.
"Well can't you make one with your quirk? I trust you enough to not put holes in our walls. Tell you what I'll take you to a range that rents guns and we can look together." She says smiling.
"Thanks mom." I say smiling back.
Tokyo exotic gun range 1 week later (Izumi POV)
Taking a day trip to Tokyo was a fun time from the ride over to breakfast at a fancy cafe. But now we were walking into a large building with what the sign that claimed to have over three thousand unique guns. I was just supposed to get a feel for the gun I wanted to use them study the schematic to copy.
"Welcome. how can I help you ladies?" The man at the counter says with a wall of guns behind him.
"My daughter would like to try out some of your merchandise but we may be here a while." Mom says pulling up her purse.
"Alright the best option would be our twenty gun pack which lets you use twenty guns with two magazines or a box of shells per gun. That is going to run you about 45000 Yen." He says handing over a list of guns to choose from.
"Is that alright?" I ask mom as she counts Yen out.
"Dear your father may not talk to us but he still sends money every month, plus I'm a lawyer. So yes we definitely have the money." Mom says plopping a wad of Yen on the counter.
I decided to ignore the feelings that came with mentioning dad and looked at the various firearms on the list. Picking a variety of different pistols, rifles, and shotguns I hand the pamphlet back to the front desk attendant. He directs me to the indoor range off to the side and tells me to wait for him. Ten minutes later he brings a cart filled with guns, gave me a quick safety lesson and showed me how to load a few.
I started with the pistols from a small 9mm Glock 19 to a much larger 50AE Desert Eagle. While they were cool and the Desert Eagle was definitely in the research pile it didn't feel perfect. Moving onto the rifles the only one that stood out M4A1 carbine but they were a little big for me. I was half way through the shotguns when I noticed something weird.
"This is interesting." I say picking up a short black shotgun.
It was definitely unique with how small it was compared to the rest. The body was painted black and had red hi lights without a stock. Loading it with four shells I take aim and fire with a loud blast of buckshot ripping apart the paper target. The down side is it only hold four shots but I really like this one.
"Why don't you just make two, one for each hand." Mom chimes in drinking a coffee she didn't have before.
"Damn muttering... but that's a good idea. I need to work on my wrist strength because it's already hurting." I say rubbing my wrist.
"We'll go ask the attendant if they have a schematic and we can see about a gym membership." She says standing up.
"Mom... thanks for supporting me." I say eyes misting up.
"You know I'm not thrilled about you becoming a hero... but if your dead set on this path then I'll give you as much support as possible." She says with a gentle smile.
Rushing over to mom and picking her up in a hug we both start crying from the emotional exchange.
Musutafu Silverman Gym 6 months later (Izumi POV)
"98, 99 and 100!" I yell putting down the fifty pound dumbbells.
At first it was hard to workout even with my natural strength from my size. But ten pound weights turned into twenty then thirty and now fifty. I looked less lanky and more like an Amazon warrior with the muscles I developed. I also grew a little now being 195 centimeters which was way taller than anyone in school and most of Japan.
"Good job Midoriya! Your almost ready for UA." Said the pro hero Muscle Mass or as he's know Machio Naruzo trainer at the gym.
It was a surprise to see a real pro working as a trainer on my first day, even more surprising that he was training me. But I got used to Pro hero's after I found out a lot of them workout here. I was so starstruck on the first day but my training quickly reminded me that when not in costume they are just regular people.
"Ya I'm moving onto the leg press machine next." I say stretching and moving over to the other row of machines that already had another person on one of them.
"Hay green workin hard or hardly working?" Came the voice of an out of costume Mt Lady doing leg presses.
"Same as always." I say sitting on the machine next to her.
It was a strange relationship we had, Yu came here regularly to stay hot as she says. One day she just sat next to me and started unloading her day on me and I just sat there an listened. I still have no idea why she talked to me but I always just listen and add some thoughts in when I can.
"You know Woods was complaining about me getting a iced coffee for free after I charmed the barista. Is it so wrong to want free things every once and a while?" She says with a huff.
"No good coffee isn't cheep so I don't see a problem." I say pushing 75 pounds up with my legs.
"Right! But he just gave me a look like a disappointed mother." She says in exasperation.
A couple of months ago in a rare moment of sincerity Yu asked if it's right to be a hero for money and fame. All I said back was it didn't matter why she wanted to be a hero, she still saved people so that's what counts. She just smiled and clapped me on the back before walking away.
"I don't know what his problem is, he's probably getting tons of free stuff from his sponsorships." I say offhandedly remembering the Kamui Woods brand cereal, sports drink, and wood varnish set.
"Oh I didn't think of that." She practically purred probably coming up with a new way to torment the wood hero.
"So this is where the party is." Came a sultry voice Uwabami the Snake hero.
"Oh great your here today." Yu says huffing again.
"Hay Uwabami how work?" I ask before a shouting match can start.
"Oh fantastic I just finished another commercial and landed a part on a reality show starting next summer." Uwabami says preening and getting an eye roll from Yu.
"Oh green did you finally get a partner? You can't be single forever." Yu says changing the subject.
"As much as I hate to agree with her she's right. Were hero's so our scheduling is tight and I don't even know what you do other than smoke." Uwabami says nodding.
Everyone in the gym excluding Machio thought I was a twenty something that chain smokers. I never corrected anyone on my age or that my voice was just naturally this scratchy. It got real old correcting people who thought that so I gave up.
"For the last time I'm not focusing on that nor will I be in the near future so please drop it please." I say looking away.
They continued to follow and be irritating for the rest of the day.
Midoriya apartment 3 months later (Inko Midoriya POV)
"Do you have your custom tracksuit, your phone, the signed forms to participate." I ask wringing my hands a little as I send my daughter off to the UA entrance exam.
"Yes mom I have everything." Izumi says patting her pockets and backpack.
Looking at Izumi I see the tall Amazonian woman that was a far cry from the lanky girl she started as. I watched as she put in the work for her dream and pushed forward no matter how hard it was. Hero work was dangerous so it gave me a bit of relief that that she was as ready as can be.
"Mom I'm going so wish me luck." Izumi says bending down and wrapping me in a hug.
"You don't need luck because your already my little hero." I say returning the hug tears leaking out of my eyes.
"Oh mom..." Izumi says also tearing up.
"Go. Follow your dream and be the best hero in the world." I say pulling out of the hug.
Izumi nods leaving our home to become a hero.
