2. Apathetic Doctors And Young Bullies

Intro

Inko Midoriya had been convinced that her son was a genius. True, all parents like to think that their children are special, but when your son is walking three months after being born and saying their first word at five months then speaking in recognizable sentences in nine, that word really could be used to describe said child. But then at one year old her son told her the truth.

Izuku Midoriya wasn't smart because he was a natural genius, though his analytical skills were definitely extremely high, he had been reincarnated. And on top of that, he wasn't even originally from Earth. Stories of a world where there was a massive supercontinent going from pole to pole as a uniform mountain literally cutting the planet in half, Pirates and Marines doing a constant battle of good vs evil, multiple races, actual races and not just Quirk mutations, and abilities that came not from a person's genetics but from eating mystical fruits.

It was all so unbelievable to Inko, but when Izuku's clenched fist had turned obsidian black and he described what a lady was doing on her balcony across the street without even looking, she was forced to believe. And according to him, there were at least three more Marines who had joined him in this world.

Inko got a first hand look at her son's analytical skills the first time after his first birthday they witnessed a villain attack on the tv. Even as the feed showed the on site heroes fighting the group of villains who were robbing a bank Izuku was saying how he would handle the fight, who he would take out first, what weakness of each villain he would capitalize on, the best angles to attack from in order to keep the collateral of the fight down to the absolute bare minimal. It was that day that Inko Midoriya knew without a doubt that her son would become a Hero in this world, just like he had been one in his old world as a Marine.

That knowledge was severely tested though when they had visited a quirk specialist when Izuku was four.

Doctor's Office

"Sorry kid, but you don't have a quirk so no Hero work for you." The doctor said disinterestedly.

As Inko looked like a pillar of her world had just been obliterated, Izuku snorted and said "Wow, you really didn't take parts of your Hippocratic Oath seriously did you?"

"What?" The man asked, looking over his clipboard at the physically four year old with narrowed eyes.

"I've looked over the oath once in curiosity. 'I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or the chemist's drug.' And yet you just delivered that with absolutely no attempt to soften the blow." Izuku said with a frown.

"Kid, it doesn't matter how much I 'soften the blow', the facts are the facts." The doctor said with a frown. Pointing at an x-ray of Izuku's foot, he said "In the past, when the superpowers first started showing up, the results of an early research study were published. It became common practice to see if the pinky toe was missing a joint or not. When parts of the body aren't used, they're deemed unnecessary. People who didn't have the joint were thought to be a newly evolved form. You can see by looking at this x-ray that you have two joints. It's pretty unusual to see that these days, but that means you have no Quirk. And without a Quirk, you wouldn't last five minutes in Hero work. Call it tough love or whatever, I'm just giving you the facts."

"Alternative facts you mean. Quirks may have become common place in the world's populations but they aren't the only abilities available to humans." Izuku said. He closed his eyes and after a moment said "There are currently two hundred and fifteen people in this building, thirty seven of them with mutation Quirks, three elemental based Quirks, and one rather unfortunate patient with a flute for a nose, a piccolo to be exact. Of those two hundred and fifteen people, one hundred and twenty are members of staff, the rest are all either patients or family members and friends of those patients."

The doctor dropped his clipboard in shock and asked "How can you possibly know all of that without a mental based Quirk!?"

Izuku let out a smirk that really didn't belong on his four year old face and said "Observation Haki, anyone can learn how to do it, no Quirk necessary."

"I've never heard of it." The doctor said with a frown picking up his clipboard.

"Well then there's the something new you learned today." Izuku said, smirk in place. Cocking his head, he asked "Are we done here?"

The doctor's frown grew and he said "You're definitely something else kid." Glancing down at his clipboard, he waved at the door with the other and said "But yes, we're done here."

"Thank you for your time Doctor." Inko said a little sheepishly, standing up from her chair and picking her son up to walk out of the office.

Once they got home, Inko frowned down at Izuku and said "That wasn't very polite of you Izuku."

"Hey, he was rude first!" Izuku defended himself.

"So you decided it was alright to lower your own level of manners to match?" Inko asked with a stern look and hands on hips.

Her 'lecturing mother' stance got an unimpressed eyebrow raise from Izuku and he said "Even if I didn't have my Haki or memories from my past life, that man's belief that quirk less people can't be Heroes is absolutely moronic. With the right knowhow anyone can fight, and it doesn't take having some cool ability to help others in need when disaster strikes."

Inko let out a heavy sigh and said "Truthfully you're right Izuku, but the society at large believes otherwise."

"Then I'll show them the truth. That you don't need a Quirk to become a hero, just the abilities that ANYONE can use with hard work and training." Izuku declared with a fire in his eyes.

Inko smiled with tears in her eyes, dropping to her knees to put her hands on her son's shoulders and said "It's going to be incredibly dangerous for you, but then again, you're already used to that aren't you Tairyn?"

The reincarnated Marine smirked and said "Yes I am. Don't worry though Mom, I'll make sure that the bad guys are the ones going to the hospital and not me."

Inko's smile grew even more watery as she pulled her son into a fierce hug. She was beyond terrified of the path her son was taking now that she knew he had no Quirk, but he was right, with the abilities from his last life that anyone could learn, he was going to go far, she just knew it.

Time Skip: One Month Later

It hadn't taken long for word of Izuku's Quirk less status to make the rounds. A lot of kids stopped interacting with him during that month. (It could hardly have been called playing given how Tairyn had mostly been indulging them when they asked him to join them.) Some kids had even started to try and bully him. Only try though since Tairyn had no issue turning the kids attempt at physical harm into basic takedowns leaving them on the ground blinking up at the sky wondering how they got in that position.

Inko's list of friends who visited had also diminished quite a bit, the woman righteously furious with those who had offered their condolences for having a quirk less child. Inko had actually tossed more than one of her 'friends' out of the door when they said that, coldly telling them to never darken her door again only to blush crimson when her son applauded her while giving pointers on how to throw the next person better. The only friend she DIDN'T wind up becoming angry with was Mitsuki Bakugo. Even with her foul mouth and temper, the Glycerin Skin Quirked Model had merely shrugged her shoulders and gone "Eh, Meh" when the subject had been brought up in her presence, and that had been that. Now if only her son had had the same attitude.

Izuku was currently standing between a kid on the ground and Mitsuki's son Katsuki and his two hanger-ons, I'm sorry, friends. Izuku had crossed arms and was glaring at Katsuki as he said "Stop it Katsuki, you're being mean. I thought you wanted to be a hero so why are you beating this kid up?"

"What's it matter to you, Deku?" Katsuki asked, the other two kids snickering at the nickname Bakugo had given him within a day of learning of Izuku's quirk less status.

Izuku let out a long suffering sigh as he shifted into a fighting stance and said "It matters because I won't stand by while you bully someone."

"Ha! The quirk less Deku thinks he's a hero!" Katsuki said, earning more laughter as he punched one hand into his other palm causing an explosion and said "A quirk less loser like you has no chance to be a hero, so just walk away and you won't get hurt!"

As wings popped out of the back of the kid on Katsuki's right and the other kid's fingers began extending, Izuku sighed and said "Just so you know, what happens next is your fault."

Katsuki didn't have time to respond to that. One moment between the next, Izuku had leapt the few feet seperating them and slammed home a punch into the explosive kid's gut. Katsuki doubled over, spit coming out of his mouth before Izuku put both hands on his shoulders and shoved him to the ground.

"You're not as good as you think you are, Bakago." Izuku said with a smirk.

"What'd you call me?!" Katsuki roared, quickly getting back to his feet.

"What's the matter Bakago? You can give me a nickname but I can't give you one?" Izuku asked mock innocently.

"You're dead Deku!" The brat shouted as he rushed towards Izuku. His two hanger-ons made grabs for him as well but Izuku spun to the side to avoid Katsuki and the winged kid, grabbing the extendable fingers as he did and twisting his wrist juuuust so. There was a loud snap and the extender kid let out a shout of pain as he cradled his now broken fingers. Izuku ignored him after that point, danced around Katsuki's grasping hand that detonated an inch from his shirt and instead socked the winged kid in the jaw, dropping him like a sack of potatoes short a tooth and leaving him crying as well.

Turning back to Katsuki, Izuku smirked and said "Just you and me now, Bakago."

Katsuki growled in anger before he rushed at Izuku with right hand drawn back. Izuku caught the wrist as the hand was thrown forward, spinning around and throwing Katsuki to land a few feet away on his back with a loud grunt of pain. Walking over, but not getting too close for the explosion kid to grab him, Izuku looked down with a smirk and said "Let this be a lesson Bakago, you're not top dog around these parts, even WITH that quirk of yours."

Turning around, Izuku made his way over to help Katsuki's victim who was still on the ground staring. He took three steps before he suddenly spun around and round house kicked a charging Katsuki away, the kid landing in a heap by the winged crony. Moving back towards the victim, he held a hand out and asked "You okay?"

"Uh, yeah, thanks." The kid said, accepting the hand with a dumfounded expression still on his face.

The fifteen minute long lecture Inko gave him later that day about what was and wasn't acceptable to do to actual kids regardless of their bully status was totally worth it.

END

Author's Notes: I think I'll leave the Mt Lady debut and Slime villain for next chapter otherwise this one is just going to keep getting longer and longer, especially since the slime monster part is actually TWO parts. See ya guys.
