When preschool ended and Inko went to pick Izuku up, she was surprised to see some of the teachers holding a small celebration for her child. When she asked why, the teachers told her that Izuku had finally gotten his quirk. This was further cemented by her baby boy rushing out to her, crying tears of joy and talking a mile a minute out of pure excitement. She was happy and relieved to find this out, as she had been starting to get worried that her son might've been quirkless.
Mind you, she wouldn't have been bothered or upset regardless if he had one or not; she was more worried for his health and safety. The quirkless were treated as lesser beings by many people, so to know that her son wouldn't go through any torment or bullying was a blessing.
After talking with some of the teachers, Inko decided it would be best for Izuku to see a quirk doctor right away. So after pulling some strings and using some of her connections at the hospital she worked at, she was able to set up an appointment for later in the day.
This is where we find our mother and son duo now, with Inko sitting in a pristine white room and waiting for the doctor to come back with the results and her son. While Inko sat in her chair, Izuku was with the doctor performing several tests.
Soon the door opened, Izuku rushed in to sit in the chair besides his mother. The doctor entered after with a clipboard in his hand. The man was middle aged, short, and balding, with thick glasses and thicker eyebrows.
"Ms. Midoriya, here's little Midoriya," the doctor said before taking his seat. "I'm sure you're curious as to what we've found?" he asked, causing the two to nod. "Well, we took an x-ray to double-check little Midoriya's quirk claim. Standard procedure, nothing to worry about. What we found is that he does only have one joint in his pinky toe, confirming that he does have a quirk.
"The second thing we've discovered is that little Midoriya's quirk is actually a mutated version of your own quirk, Ms. Midoriya."
"Mutated?"
"It means that, while it's similar to your own quirk, it's different enough to be classified as an entirely different one." The doctor pulled out a metal pen. "While we waited for the x-ray to finish, we performed several tests with your son. We now know little Midoriya has control over metal objects. Are you ready, little Midoriya?" The doctor asked, causing Izuku to nod.
Reaching a hand out, Izuku began to concentrate on the pen held before him. It took some time, but much to his mother's joy, the tips of his fingers began glowing green. The pen in the doctor's hand started to wiggle, and confident in the boy's power, the doctor let it go. The pen floated in the air and started flying towards Izuku at a slow pace.
"Ok, now try pushing it back to me."
Following the order, Izuku concentrated more. This not only caused the pen to stop midair, but also begin flying back and into the doctor's hand.
"You see? Little Midoriya has complete control over metal objects. 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 magnetize other parts of his body, such as his feet or arms in case he's unable to use his hands at that moment in time," The doctor said. "However, there is a downside to this quirk. If little Midoriya is ever in conflict with no metal around, he'll be in great danger. I'd recommend signing him up for some self-defense classes. With quirks like these, you need to be prepared for anything, so I'll look up some specialists and trainers who may be able to help him do so. I know pro heroes like Death Arms, Ingenium, and Gun Head teach self-defense classes every weekend. Now, I suspect you want to be a hero, correct?"
"It's all he's ever dreamt about," Inko sighed 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 may 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, anything 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 a fighter. One hero I know of in particular is a great example, as he uses a capture weapon since his quirk doesn't affect villains with mutant type quirks."
Inko nodded and continued memorizing all of the information she was given. While she was wary of her baby using a weapon, it did make sense. The last thing she wanted was for her baby to get into a fight and not be prepared.
"I see, thank you 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 think Gunhead should be the first to talk to, as I've heard he teaches martial arts and self-defense."
"I will. Thank you doctor!"
Welcome to chapter 2! As some of you may have guessed/realized, I am and will be reusing some of the OG chapters. They still work and I don't see the point in heavily re-editing them. So some chapters will be the same, others will be completely new. Just wanted to give y'all a headsup.
Don't really know what else to say. I have a discord if any of you wanna join? Since FFN doesn't allow links to be posted, I'll have to figure out a way to invite those who wanna join. It's primarily a 'The Owl House' server, but it's multi-fandom. If any of you wanna join just DM me and I'll figure out a way to invite you.
Think that's it! I hope you've enjoyed and that you'll continue to enjoy! See ya in chapter 3!
