"Izuku…" Inko stared at her son in complete horror. This was the last thing she wanted her son to know about.
Let alone walk in the middle of said conversation.
If anything, she would've of kept it from Izuku as long as possible until Izuku simply forgot about his father other than "He's working overseas."
"Izuku. It means we are separating." Hisashi stated from his seat on the couch. Inko rounded on him, her face clearly showing that wasn't how she was going to explain it in the slightest. Hisashi grimaced, but remain firm against the look, he wasn't going to lie to the boy.
"Separating?" Izuku titled his head, looking between the the two parents with some confusion. "Are you going away Papa?"
"Yes!" Inko exclaimed as she kneeled before Izuku, glaring at Hisashi to shut his mouth before he makes it worse. "Papa is going to America for work! It's very important work, so he will be gone for a very long time."
"Oh…" Izuku turn to his father with a question. "Will I see you again?"
"Um… maybe?" Hisashi began to sweat as Inko glared daggers at him from behind Izuku. "The job will be hard work, and I might be gone… for a good period. So it will be up to you to take care of mama."
"Oh… okay." Izuku turn to his mother, who quickly revert her face back to a smile from the angry glare she had. "Mama, I am glad I am not moving. Mina still needs me!"
"Oh Izuku, don't worry. We are not going to move any time soon." Inko picked up her son and began to take him to his room. "Come on, let's get you ready for bed."
"Okay. Night night, Papa!" Izuku waved at his father as Inko took him to his room.
It would be the last time Izuku would see him for years to come.
==+++ Several days later+++==
Izuku was excited, his birthday was coming up, which meant the joint birthday party with Mina was coming up soon!
It's been almost a week since he seen his father, but Izuku wasn't worried. His papa was going to America for work! So he had to take care of Mama along with Mina!
"Izu… stop b-bouncing! I am the one who is jumpy!" Mina cried out in frustration as the boy ran around her in excitement. Mina seem a lot better these days, and many kids that picked on her seem to back off after a stern talking to from parents and teachers. She was also not worried as much about her gray anymore. She explained it to Izuku that she was a cocoon and soon the she will become a butterfry!
"Butter-fly." Izuku corrected.
"Izu~" Mina cheeks puffed up and began to chase after him.
"You can't catch me!" Izuku called out, which only spurn the girl on and gave it her all, quickly closing the gap, but not quite catching up to the boy as he pushed himself.
Mina finally got him while he was trying to turn, and ended up rolling him down a small embankment, both children giggling as they rolled to a stop. Mina sighed as she stared up the sky, happy that she was with Izu.
Her bestest friend in the whole world.
"I'm going to the doctor tomorrow after my birthday lunch with Mama." Izuku said as he huffed, laying on his back as he stare straight up.
"Hm? What for? You sick?" Ashido rolled onto her tummy, holding her head up with her hands.
"No? Suppose to be for my quirk. A… quirk asses-assesmont? No. Assessment! Quirk Assessment test! It's to be sure my quirk is coming in." Izuku sat up with a smile. "I think I am getting Mama's quirk."
"Do you think so? I thought your daddy's quirk was kind of cool. Looked like a d-dragon when he did it." Mina rolled again, this time rolling into Izuku lap. "Scratches!"
"Fine." Izuku feint annoyance but began his patented Izu Scratches, making sure to be careful of Mina's horns. They were bone at the moment, but as soon as they look fuzzy, Izuku was forbidden to scratch them for Mina. Unless he wanted a lot of blood on his hands. "I suppose it would be nice to have Papa's quirk. Having fire breath would be a cool quirk to have. But…"
"What's wrong?"
"Papa and Mama are having a… um. 'divorce'." Izuku said quietly.
"What's divorce?"
"They said it means Papa has to go away for a long time. So I was hoping I get Mama's quirk because she can teach me, because Papa won't be around." Izuku turn to see Mina gave him a sad look at his words.
"Your Papa is going away? I'm sorry Izu." she sat up and sat next to him and gave him a deep hug. Izuku sniff a little, but eagerly return the hug.
"It's okay. I still have Mama, Uncle Moyo, Auntie Koko, and you." Izuku pulled back, then gave a big smile to Mina. "Oh! Mama said that we were going to invite you and Auntie Koko for the birthday lunch! Let's go tell Auntie Koko!"
"Okay!"
++=== July 17===++
Mina was worried sick, Izuku hasn't been to class for almost two days now. While most of the kids had stop picking on her, there was a few that kept it up, mocking her from a distance and even more so when they realized Izuku wasn't there to defend her.
"Bet they moved away from here to get away from Bloody Mina."
"Yeah, Bloody Mina is such a freak."
"I bet Izuku's Mom got tired if seeing her around her house and decided to leave."
"Nah, Izuku got tired of defending Bloody Mina, she is such a lost cause. He probably moved to the other side of Japan."
Mina did her best to ignore those words, but they hurt. Mama Inko wouldn't do any of those things the bullies were saying. Izu was her bestest friend in the whole wide world, they promised to be heroes together.
But…
What if they were true? Maybe she did drive them away with her freaky body. What if this is all her fault!
"No!" Mina shook her head as she rushed out of the classroom as the bell rang. It wasn't true. Izu and Mama Inko wouldn't do any of those things. Mina tried to keep those thoughts out of her head, but it was too hard.
"Mina!" Mina looked up to see she was at the gate entrance, her mother calling out to her with worry.
"Mommy!" she raced towards her and clung to her legs. "Mama Inko didn't move did she?! She and Izu didn't move away?!"
"Princess?" Kokoro looked shocked at the words tumbling from her daughter's mouth.
Inko move? How absurd!
"Mina, what are you talking about?"
"I-Izu hasn't been to class for the last two days!" Mina looked up with a tears in her eyes. "And b-bullies were saying it's my fault!"
Kokoro's horns immediately flared up, sharp and dangerous as she glared at the kids walking out the front doors. 2 boys in particular seem to be frightened enough to hide back inside.
"Oh, Princess. Come on. We can go see them before going home. I'm sure that little Izuku is just sick. Maybe he had too much sweets to eat at the lunch party." Kokoro gently push Mina along, trying her best to calm the girl down.
"O-okay." Mina hiccup back, rubbing her eyes to clear the tears.
The mother and daughter walked through the neighborhood, neither saying a word, but remembering fond memories they had as they walked.
Mina seem to enjoy looking at the park she and Izuku played a lot in, she stopped as she suddenly remember what Izu said to her a few days ago.
"I still have Mama, Uncle Moyo, Auntie Koko, and you."
'That's right… Izu still has me!' Mina pumped her arms as she remembered those words, Kokoro giggling at her daughter's antics.
The duo finally made it to the apartment complex, and Mina giggled loudly as her mother's horn wrapped around her waist to carry her up.
"Horn ride!" Mina cheered as Kokoro laughed as she picked up her daughter to get up the stairs quickly. They made it up to the Midoriya's apartment just as the sky was beginning to turn orange, Mina looking out to see the city.
It never got old in her opinion, Izu was so lucky to be so high up to see this!
"Inko? It's me, Kokoro." Mina turn to see her mother knock on the door. "Mina was worried and-"
Whatever else she was going to say died as the door open to show an utterly disheveled and distraught Inko Midoriya. Mina looked surprise to see how bad Mama Inko had gotten. Was she sick too?! She was an adult though!? Izuku may be super sick then!?
"Inko?! Jeez, what happen?!" Kokoro exclaimed as she felt the woman's head for a fever.
"It's all my fault…" Inko whispered, confusing the pair. Kokoro look towards Mina, grateful for her daughter's concern for Izuku.
"Come on, let's sit you down." Kokoro gently guided the mother to the couch. Mina looked towards Izu's room, looking back at her mother before slowly making her way towards it.
"Its all my fault…" Inko said again. "I ruined his life…"
"Inko… what are you talking about?"
Mina reached the door to Izu's door, hearing voices behind the door to indicate someone was in there and began to push it open.
"I couldn't give him the dream he wants…"
"What?!" Kokoro was utterly flabbergasted at what was happening, watching as Inko broke down crying, she turn to her daughter who stop to look back with such confusion on what was going on. Mina turn back to slowly open the door, seeing a familiar video play on the computer screen.
"IT'S FINE NOW! WHY? BECAUSE I AM HERE!"
"Izu?" Mina asked hesitantly, stepping inside the dark room. The video playing was familiar to her, she seen it as much as Izu had, and it inspired her to be a hero as much as it did for Izu.
To save people. Not for glory or fame, but just to help.
"He's such a cool hero…" Mina heard Izu speak, as he slowly turn around, eyes filled with tears as he pointed at the screen and a broken smile on his face. Mina's breath hitched, she never seen Izu look like that before. He looked so destroyed!
It scared her. What happened?!
"Can I… be a hero too?" Mina open her mouth to speak, but was cut off by Mama Inko.
"He's quirkless…" Mina froze at those words Mama Inko said.
'Quirkless… he doesn't have any power at all. He is useless. Just like I am.' Mina covered her ears, shaking her head rapidly as she tried to block outthe horrible words 'But at least I have a quirk. I can be a hero. I don't need Izu. I don't need him. He is just going to to get in the .Idon'tneedhim.'
"Be quiet!" Mina hissed as she shook her head to clear those so wrong thoughts. She couldn't abandon him!
''He'sjustgoingtogetintheway!Ihaveaquirk!Idon'tneedhim!Icangrowstrongerthanhim!Idon'tneedhim!AsimpleDeku!'
"SHUT UP!" Mina screamed as she held her ears, shocking the mothers and Izuku at her cry. Almost like magic, the mean words vanished and her head was clear.
"M-mina-!?" Izuku was surprised as Mina race towards him, throwing herself into the seat and engulfing him in a hug.
"You can be a hero Izu!" Mina cried as she held onto the stun boy. "You are so brave and smart! You are everything a hero needs to be!"
Neither child were aware of Inko as she walked towards the room thanks to the shouting, but froze at the words Mina was saying, covering her mouth to stifle a cry while tears were shed.
"You are the bestest friend I can ever have! You defend me when I started turning gray and creepy! You are not useless!" Mina looked up to him, giving a tearful smile. "Because you are my hero, Izu!"
Like glass shattering, the darkness that surrounded his mind cleared, the world seem much more brighter to him. He looked down to see his best friend hugging him, he slowly wrapped his arms around Mina in a crushing hug and began to cry.
"You don't need a quirk to be a hero…" Mina buried her head in his neck, holding him tight. "Because you are already a hero to me… and we will be heroes together..."
Inko was silently sobbing while Kokoro held onto her, smiling as she looked inside to see both children holding onto one another.
"I promise." Mina whispered as Izuku sobbed as he held onto her like a lifeline.
"That's my girl…" Kokoro whispered as she guided Inko away.
==+++Several Hours later+++==
"Yeah, I'll be here tonight with Inko. Izuku needs Mina right now." Kokoro said as she talked to Tamoyo on the phone. She checked on the kids, finding them asleep in the bed, clinging to one another.
"Are you sure you don't need anything?"
"Probably some change of clothes for us in the morning, but we should be fine."
"Poor Izuku… first his dad leaves and now this." Tamoyo sighed, "Okay, I will come by first thing in the morning. Maybe we can take the kids out for the day?"
"Summer break is in a few days, so maybe we can talk to the school in letting them out early. No doubt Izuku will be picked on for being quirkless once it gets around, so maybe we can use the time to build the two up." Kokoro asked.
"Sounds good. Maybe look up some self-defense classes for the two. They are only five, but with amount of trouble they had, maybe they will take it up." Tamoyo thought out loud. "Damn it. Our kids don't deserve this crap."
"'Our' kids?" Kokoro asked with a knowing smile.
"Oh please, we know for a fact they are probably be together for the rest of their lives, watching each other's back." Tamoyo chuckled with his wife before he gave a tired sigh. "Inko?"
"She blames herself for everything, including Mina's situation." Kokoro rested her head against the wall, closing her eyes as she tried to summon the strength to keep going. "She is going downhill fast, Tamoyo. I saw her eating a bunch of cookies earlier."
"Stress eating?"
"Good chance. I won't allow it! I just started getting her on my jogs."
"Poor woman."
"Shut it you." Kokoro said in mock anger, and for a moment there was silence. She pulled away from the wall to look at the kids one last time. "I love you."
"Heh, I love you too. I'll see you morning."
"You too…" Kokoro hung up with a small smile. She quietly close the door to let the two sleep and made her way towards Inko's room. She open the door to find Inko sitting on her bed, eating some cookies while mumbling nervously between chews. She sighed and marched before woman and snatched the cookies from her grasp.
"Kokoro?~ Why?~" Inko moaned as she lay back on her bed.
"No. No stress eating." Kokoro wagged a finger at Inko like she was a naughty child. "You don't want to set a bad habit for Izuku."
The moment she said the boy's name, Inko began to tear up and began to cry again, causing Kokoro to sigh.
"Here it comes." She muttered as she Inko began her tirade.
"I'm such a horrible mother! I can't even give my baby boy the ability to be special! I couldn't even believe him to be a hero!" Inko cried as she sat up and hug Kokoro around the waist. She looked up with teary eyes and runny nose. "Can you please have little Mina marry my boy, Kokoro! She will be such much better for him! She is so adorable and would make a perfect fit for him!"
"Alright alright!" Kokoro gently pushed the blubbering woman back. "You can ask her in the morning, I cannot make that decision for her."
"But your her mother!"
"It's her life." Kokoro answered, raising an eyebrow, "And she's five."
Inko seem to wilt into herself, rubbing her eyes as she sniffed. "I am such a horrible mother… I throw Hisashi out, telling him never to come into Izuku's life… and now he finds out he doesn't have a quirk. Its-"
"Stop." Kokoro held onto Inko's shoulders. "You are not a bad mother."
"But-"
"No! Inko, what happen with you and Hisashi was going to happen no matter what. He's a workaholic. The fact that he is still setting up funds for Izuku shows that he cares in his own way. But it was just bad luck Izuku walked into that. It was pure luck that he is going to think nothing of it and forget after a while." Kokoro sat next to Inko, gently rubbing her shoulder. "As for his lack of quirk… I'm sorry. Izuku doesn't deserve that, he is such a kind boy."
"I… I thought he couldn't be a hero." Inko hugged herself and began to rock a little. "I thought his life was over… I didn't believe in him. But Mina…"
Kokoro gave a small smile as Inko clutched her hands, almost as she was trying to thank her with entire being.
"Your daughter is such an angel, Kokoro… I… I…" Inko stammered as she was embraced with an one arm hug.
"Then let us support them. Tamoyo and I were thinking of enrolling them in self defense classes-"
"But they're so young!"
"Yeah, but they are driven. I have no doubt the teacher will go easy on them until they are ready for more stuff." Kokoro frown as she looked at her phone for nearby classes. 'Gunhead? Sounds like a hero name.'
"I-if you say so…" Inko whispered as she poked her fingers together.
"Look, things are not going to be easier, and taking them out of school a couple of days early will give us the time to make sure Izuku and Mina can handle the fallout. The moment the kids find out he is quirkless, they will be on him like piranhas. If it was bad before with Mina and her quirk, it will probably be worse for Izuku."
Inko seem to be more distressed at this, but felt her face get held by a pair of strong hands.
"We have to believe in them. I understand why you were so distraught but you can't do that now. You can't look at Izuku and think he can't be a hero just because he lacks a quirk. You probably would of destroyed his self-esteem if Mina and I didn't show up. Inko…" Kokoro stared into Inko's eyes with a seriousness that only a mother could muster. "Believe in your son… believe in our children. I believe they can be heroes, or do anything if they set their mind to it. I want them to succeed, I know you want them to as well… Are you going to look down at Izuku for being quirkless or are you going to support your boy to be the best he can be?"
Inko felt a fire burn within her at those words. "I want Izuku to follow his dreams… I will believe in him, in Mina, in whatever they do."
"Then let's make sure they have confidence to face that."
++===Following Morning===++
The Principal was understanding of the situation, and the fact that both children had good grades to at least give them some leeway. Their teacher insisted that they at least do the last of their assignments, with both parents promising to turn them in at the end of the week.
It was close to noon when the families piled into the Ashido's van and drive into downtown Musutafu in search for the classes for the kids.
"Real heroes will train us?!" Izuku asked from his seat.
"That's right." Kokoro answered as they turned down the busy road. "An upcomer called Gunhead."
"Oh! Oh! Izu! That's the hero who can shoot from his arms and wears the funky mask!" Mina exclaimed, "We saw him on TV remember?"
"Oh yeah!" Both kids devolved into their normal talks of heroes and whatever else four soon to be five years old talk about. Though the moment they passed the fabled UA high school, they began to look even more excited, just passing the school was a blessing for the duo in their eyes
Quite odd to see children excited to see a school, if the parents were honest with themselves.
They finally arrived and even took some time to look around to get a feel of the area, noting the shopping district along with a decent size food court as well.
"This the place?" Tamoyo asked as he looked up at the sign.
Gunhead Agency
The building was quite large, 4 stories tall with a nice aesthetic to allow it to blend in with the surrounding complexes.
"Look Mama!" Izuku exclaimed as they neared the entrance, pointing at the sign near the doors.
Self-defense classes available!
"Perfect." Kokoro answered, holding onto Mina and Izuku with her horns, both kids looking up at the building with wonder. Inko wasn't quite sure how strong Kokoro actually was since both children were at head level and she didn't look strained at all, but she couldn't help but fret at the sight of his son being held in her horn's grasp.
They walked through the doors and couldn't help but be impressed at the set up as they walked in. There was a large open area with various weights, treadmills, and mats setup to allow a comfortable work out session. There was also various hallways with signs that showed to other areas of the building, including training rooms. Kokoro placed the children down between the three of them so they wouldn't get lost, allowing them to look around in wonder.
"Looks like Gunhead runs a gym too?" Tamoyo said as they passed a pair of people working out. The sound of something heavy being hit gain their attention, they turn to see what the noise was and were immediately impressed with what they saw. They saw a large man with silver hair and an odd mask bounce around as he threw several jabs at a punching bag in quick succession, turning to look at them with surprise.
"Oh! Hello!" he greeted as he made his way towards them. Inko shrunk back a little, but squeaked as Kokoro jabbed her with her horn. The greenette pouted as she rubbed her rear and glared at the horned woman. "Welcome! Do you need assistance from a hero? Or is this for gym membership or self defense classes?"
"Self defense for our kids." Kokoro pointed between the three of them.
"Kids?" Gunhead looked around and scratched his head. "What kids?"
All three parents looked down at their sides, and for a long moment saw nothing. They looked up in pure panic.
"They were just there a second ago!"
"Ah…" Gunhead couldn't help but sweat drop as the parents immediately scattered back to the main lobby to search for the duo. He frown as he began to walk back to call a few of the others to help search. The building wasn't small by any means, as the entire first floor was made up of various training rooms.
He definitely couldn't afford this on his own, let alone fund the few heroes and sidekicks that worked there. Hell, he barely received a paycheck at all, living in the office this entire time and making use of the small amount of money he did gain that didn't go to the office for food and others items of conveniences. His family helped him start up this agency, and a few close friends joined in to bolster his ranks, even taking a cut pay to keep them afloat. He had this building for almost six months now, and thankfully his performance was top notched and personality meshed well with a lot of the civilians in the area, so he was finally making some headway in keeping the building without relying on family money.
He walked out only to pause as he turn down hall to see said children looking in awe in one of the few practice rooms.
'Heh, kids will be kids. Always exploring.'
As he drew close, he heard music blasting from the room, and knew only one person that would be blasting music this loud.
He drew up behind the children, looking in to see a whirlwind of spinning legs and flipping around the room of the form of a young woman, occasionally a bolt of energy flying from her legs. She performed a single arm handstand, two bolts of energy expelling from her feet in a loud crackle of energy. She was smiling at all three of them, giving a small wink as she swung her legs close to the ground while holding herself up using her hands, windmilling twice before popping up and gave a bow. SHe was wearing a flashy set of pants that sparkled in the light, along with a loose fitting cropped jacket with a strapless bustier covering her chest. All of them were in various tie-die of colors which made her stand out further.
"AMAZING!/SO COOL!" The children began to clap at the performance, with Gunhead giving a small nod of approval.
"Good performance, Disco." Gunhead said, giving a small laugh as the children jumped in surprised at hearing a voice behind them.
"Whoa!" Disco smirked as the kids looked up at the leader of the agency with sheer awe. She then began to laugh out loud as the man began to shake as he looked down at the two.
"Oi, Gunhead. Just do it." Disco said with a chuckle. "You can't help it."
"YOU TWO ARE SO CUTE!" Gunhead practically squealed as he began to act like a young woman who found something cute rather than a large and burly hero. Both children only smiled and began to giggle at how odd the man was acting before them.
"IZUKU/MINA?!" Both children flinched as they heard the cry of their parents.
"Uh oh." Mina whispered loudly.
"Uh oh indeed." Gunhead said cheerfully. "Come on you two, I think the green hair one look like she was about to faint."
++===Several minutes later===++
"Izuku, I thought you knew better than just running off." Inko said through her tears, as Izuku flushed with shame.
"It's my fault, Mama Inko." Mina kicked the ground as she looked down in sadness. "We thought we be in the way."
"Oh Mina…" Kokoror sighed as she rubbed her head in an affectionate way before turning to the boy in question. "Let me guess, Izuku. Keeping an eye on your future wife?"
Both children blush brightly at this and looked away, causing the heros that were watching to burst in laughter. There was a story with that little bit of info. Disco jumped and engulf the two in a hug.
"Don't be like that Mama." Disco cheered, ignoring the disapproving look Inko was giving her with her choice of attire. At least she wasn't running around naked like a certain M-rated hero she could name.
Seriously, she had to be an exhibitionist for her to pull that off without care. There is already talks of reforming hero uniforms thanks to her.
"Come on, they were just enjoying my dance moves." Disco said, pulling back and performing a quick twirl of breakdancing, causing both children to clap at the small display and impressing the parents with her skills.
"Can we learn from her! Please!" Both Izuku and MIna turn to their parents in unison, blasting everyone with overloading cuteness factor.
"T-too cute." Gunhead whispered as he held his chest in mock pain.
"We are here for a reason, remember?" Tamoyo said, ignoring the combined might of the duo with some effort. "To get you guys some self-defense Lessons. You guys want to be heroes, right?."
"Oh…" Mina seem put out, but she began to punch the air in front of her as she look to Izuku. "We can learn d-dancing later Izu! First we have to learn how to defend ourselves."
"Right!" Izuku nodded with determination, looking ready to take on the world.
"Why not both?" Disco asked.
"Eh?"
Disco chuckled as she walked over to parents and bowed. "Sorry about that. What they saw wasn't just breakdancing. Thrown in was a fight style called capoeira. Not quite a master just yet, but I am about to try for it my Contra-Mestre soon."
"Contra…Con-wha?" Mina asked.
"Ditto." Kokoro added.
"Think of it like a pseudo master rank, not quite a true Master, but I am able to teach others the style without issue. Another word for it is Professor." She pointed at the colorful belt around her hip. "This belt will soon have white to join in the ranks. I am hoping to gain a pure white that will indicate that I achieved my goal in mastering the style."
"So awesome…" Mina whispered before looking at her parents. "Please!"
"Hold on, squirt." Disco said as she kneeled before the two kids. "This martial art is very tough, it would take years before you can do even a quarter of what I can do."
Disco couldn't help but feel a little bad at seeing the two look downtrodden, but gently bumped their shoulders. "Don't look so down. I can teach you what I can until I feel you are ready for some bigger stuff. But you are here for a reason, to learn how to defend yourselves, and if you want you can learn from the boss man himself."
Gunhead nodded his head at this, giving a thumbs up. "Perhaps we can have a bit a setup that you can learn from both of us… If the parents approve of course."
Gunhead looked towards the parents, waiting for acknowledgement for the three. All three looked at one another before deciding.
"Well… dancing is good." Inko started as she looked towards Izuku. "It can build confidence, and I wouldn't mind if Izuku and Mina have something that is healthy in the long run as a hobby."
"True, main focus will be self defense, but I like the idea of my little girl be a Dancing Queen." Tamoyo said with a chuckle at his little reference, surprisingly enough Gunhead gave a chuckle as well, showing the man got it.
"Okay old timers." Kokoro rolled her eyes, but smiled as she crouched before the two. "As long as you two work hard at this, we will support you all the way. So, do you want to learn from these heroes?"
""Yes!""
==+++That night+++===
"So, what do you think, Gunhead?" Disco asked as she sat on his desk as the man filed paperwork.
"Of?"
"The kids, duh. You must of felt what I felt." Disco pressed, and Gunhead slowly placed his pen down in thought.
"I felt…" Gunhead thought back as he did a psuedo training session with them before the left. The kids were completely focused at the task on hand. Even after finding out one of them was quirkless, it didn't deter either hero in the slightest.
If anything, it drove home just how much harder the boy had to succeed his dream and was willing to go that mile and more, and the girl by his side was pushed further by his determination.
"Hope." He said quietly, Disco grin at his answer.
"Those kids… they don't want fortune." she said as she stood up.
"Nor glory that comes with be a hero." Gunhead nodded his head as he lean back in chair. "They want to help people. Ranks be damn."
"We can't let them go, we have to be sure it grows… it's hard enough to find promising newcomers with that type of ideals." Disco walked back, stopping at the door as she look back at him. "They will be better than us, quirk or no. Those kids…"
"They will succeed us all…" Gunhead look out the window, watching as the night came to life in the city. "I want to be there to see it."
"Then I guess we better teach them all what we can." Disco chuckled, waving as she walked out the door. "Going on patrol, see ya later Gunhead."
"Take care, Disco." Gunhead replied as he looked down at two folders. Picture of both children on the cover, both beaming with smiles that were filled with positive energy.
Name: Izuku Midoriya
Birth: 07/15/XXXX
Quirk: None
Reason for self-defense training: Wants to be a hero to help people/Help Mina with bullies
Name: Mina Ashido
Birth: 07/30/XXXX
Quirk: Unknown/Not mature yet
Reason for self-defense training: Wants to be a hero to help people/Help Izuku with bullies
"You will be heroes…" Gunhead whispered as he placed the files away. Just spending a short time with them showed him just how much they cared about the people around them. Disco had stumbled a bit in showing off and both children were instantly worried for her and asking her dozens of questions to see if she was okay.
It made it that much easier to take them both under his wings.
"You both have what it takes… I'll make sure you be the best heroes this country has ever seen."
==+++End of Part 2+++===
A/N: Whoa! Another already?
I didn't want to overwhelm everyone with a massive chapter, so I cut it into parts for easier reading.
There is a few things I want to clear up however for this story.
Firecracker (Katsuki Bakugou) still exists in this world. The only main difference is where he lives, which is where Mina Ashido lives in Manga/Anime Canon. This will have massive changes on his character along with one other, Eijiro Kirishima.
In some ways good...hm, let's just leave it at that shall we?
As you can see, we have an early introduction of Gunhead along with his agency peer Disco. Disco's quirk will be explained in a later chapter, possibly the next, so no quirk bio for her.
All in all, I am utterly happy with how the chapter came out. If you wish to be a beta, just send me an email and I will get back to you. Only 2 people will be chosen so send it when you can!
Finding Comfort Comic page 5!

Check out the story on my profile, might update it soon for more Izuku/Mina fluff.
