When preschool ended and Inko went to pick Izuku up, she was surprised to hear they had a party in Izuku's honor. Before any of the teachers could tell her why, Izuku had rushed to her crying out happily that he had gotten his quirk. She was beyond surprised and even more beyond happy to hear the news, which resulted in her crying tears of joy as she held Izuku close. Some of the teachers found it sweet while others found it a little annoying at the overreaction. Although they guess they could understand, Izuku had been four years old for a while now, and many were worried he was never going to develop one.
After Inko had picked him up, they went straight to the doctors to do some testing, which is where the two were now. Waiting patently and excitedly in the doctor's office for his return. Well, Inko was anyway. Izuku was jumping in his seat and looking as if he was about to burst from excitement.
"Got a quirk, got a quirk, got a quirk." He continued chanting and mumbling under his breath, which caused Inko to giggle and rub his head.
"Yes baby, you have a quirk now! Do you know what that means?"
"I can be a hero! Just like All Might!" He cried happily, showing off his teeth as he smiled widely and brightly.
The door opened, causing the two to quiet down as the doctor entered with a clipboard in his hand.
"Ms. Midoriya, little Midoriya." He greeted with a chuckle before taking his seat. "It's rather fascinating what we found."
"What did you find doctor?"
"Well, we found that Izuku here has a mutated version of your own quirk, Ms. Midoriya." The doctor informed.
"Mutated?"
"Oh it's nothing bad and nothing to worry about. To put it simply, he has an altered version of your quirk. Watch." Sitting the clipboard onto his desk, the doctor pulled two pens one from lab coat. One was plastic and the other was metal. "Izuku, do as you did earlier when you developed your quirk. Use both hands and have them aim at each pen."
Nodding, Izuku reached out his hands, aimed at the pens, and concentrated. The green power formed again at his fingertips, and before long the metal pen began to move. Letting go of the pen, the three watched as the metal one floated into Izuku's right hand, while the plastic pen sat unaffected in the doctor's right hand.
"You see? It appears Izuku can only attract metal objects to him, unlike you who can attract objects such as metal, plastic, wood, cloth, and so on. Izuku's quirk basically makes him one big and powerful magnet. With some training I'm sure he'll not only be able to move larger objects made of metal, but he may also be able to magnify other parts of his body, such as his feet or arms. Don't really know why you would want to do something like that, but I'm sure it'll be a neat trick to show to your friends." The doctor informed, before getting up and taking his pen back as Izuku reached out to hand it to him. "That's not all, however. He may even be able to push metal objects away from himself, or change the direction of a metal object as it's moving. We rarely get quirks like these, but I'll look up some specialists and trainers who may be able to help him do so. Now, I suspect you want to be a hero correct?"
"It's all he's ever dreamt about." Inko informed as Izuku nodded eagerly.
"I wanna be just like All Might and make people smile!"
"Very well. May I suggest getting him some type of weapon or equipment to practice with? While his quirk maybe be quite useful, it'll hardly do him any good in hand to hand combat."
"Oh my. Do you really think he'll need a weapon?" Inko asked worriedly.
"Weapon, piece of equipment, something that'll make up for what he lacks and balance him out. At the moment he'll be a good support hero, but with the right tools and training he may turn into a just as good fighter. Hero's like Eraserhead are prime examples of what I'm talking about."
Inko nodded and continued memorizing all of the information she was given. It made sense; the last thing she wanted was for her baby to get into a fight and not be prepared.
"I see, thank you so very much doctor. We'll discuss what Izuku wants to do once we get home."
"Excellent. While you do that I'll look into those specialists and trainers I was talking about. I believe Gunhead holds a class four days a week, I've heard he teaches stuff like martial arts and self-defense. You may want to drop by and talk to him about teaching young Izuku here."
"I will. Thank you doctor!"
(Midoriya apartment: A few hours later)
"This is quite the list that doctor provided for you." A woman equal to Inko's age and height commented as she read through the list that sat on the kitchen table. A cup of tea sat on a saucer to her right.
This woman was Mei's mother, Hana Hatsume. Hana had short pink hair that reached her neck, yellows eyes much liker her daughter, pale skin, and a pair of goggles that also functioned as a pair of glasses. She, much like her husband, was a brilliant inventor and helped make technology and equipment that helped hero's out in the field.
Hana and Mei had come over to visit. While she and Inko were talking in the kitchen, Izuku and Mei were watching a few American movies her husband had brought back from his trip.
"I know. The front side has about 25 trainers the doctor recommended, and the back about 20 specialists. It's a little overwhelming." Inko stated before taking a sip of her tea.
"And you said the doctor mentioned Izuku should get some kind of equipment?"
"Yes, but we haven't had the time to decide or discuss what that item should be. I-I don't want my son using an actual weapon, he could end up killing someone by accident!"
"Well…maybe he doesn't need an actual weapon. There's plenty of items out there that could help him out. Maybe some kind of armor? Or a capture weapon?"
While the mothers continued discussing what to get Izuku, the child in question and his friend were busy watching another hero movie. They watched, captivated as a man in red, white, and blue came falling from the sky and ended up smashing another man in black into a trucks window with his shield.
Raising the shield to block oncoming bullets, he kicked the truck and made it smash into yet another guy in black (for now GB means guy in black). Throwing over the trucks over, the shield smashed into a GB, before flying back over the rear of the truck. Raising it over his head, the shield guy ran towards and hopped onto a different truck, before kicking a GB into the cement wall of the building behind them.
After that a woman used her powers and floated him up and through one of the buildings windows. There he smashed the shield into a GB's face, ripped off their mask, before doing a back kick and sending them flying into another wall.
The shield guy then hid behind a pillar as someone began shooting at him, only for the guy to throw his shield at the floor, which bounced off of it into another pillar, and finally into the GB that was shooting at him. The shield guy then rushed forward and kicked him, before raising the shield as someone else started to shoot.
The new GB rushed him, only for shield guy to grab his leg and trip him, making the GB fall on his back. Shield guy then grabbed the GB's leg and smashed him into one of the pillars.
"That's so cool!" Izuku cried out in joy. "I want a shield like him! I want a shield to be my equipment!"
"Equipment?" Mei questioned, confused.
"Uh huh! The doctor said I should have some equipment since my quirk won't be good for fighting. I want a shield just like that guy!"
"A shield may be the perfect thing for you Izuku." Hana stated as she and Inko walked towards the two. "My family and I could make one for you, if you'd like."
"Oh Hana that's very generous, but we don't want to be of any trouble! And I'm sure a shield like that could be really expensive…"
"It's no trouble at all Inko! This is a hero item we're talking about; the government will have no problem at all to help fund."
"But Izuku's not a hero yet."
"Details Inko, details! He's not one yet! What the government won't know won't hurt them." Hana stated, causing Inko to sigh. She knew it was of no use to argue with Hana and her family. Once they sat their mind to something, they got it done. "Anyway, how are you guys enjoying the movies?"
"The heroes are cool and all…but none of them are as cool as my hero." Mei informed, leaning onto Izuku's shoulder with a big smile. The greenette in question blushed bright red. It didn't help that their parents aww'd at that.
"So cute." Hana whispered, rapidly tapping the button on her phone to take pictures. After about 50 pictures she finally decided that was enough. "Ok, come on Mei, it's time to go."
"Goodbye my hero." She cooed, before pecking Izuku's cheek and getting up from her seat. She sent a wink back at him, which made his whole head turn red.
"Ugh, you do that now after I put my phone away?!" Hana groaned, causing Inko and Mei to laugh.
