It had been 4 months since his birthday, and he was in his first year of middle school. His school had been notified of his position at Hatsume Industries, he was officially called an 'Independent Researcher' and made sure to put him into all of the advanced classes.

Izuku loved this. He was topping the classes, beating out some of the 4th years, much to their anguish. He had improved his Gravity Glove Mk3's power source, allowing it to last a whopping 14 hours before needing to be charged.

He quickly became a well-known figure to Aldera middle school, especially when people realised that even if he was a nerd, you didn't fuck with him. After the first time someone tried to pick on him and was promptly blown up by Katsuki, people started calling Katsuki 'Izuku's bodyguard'.

Katsuki did not like that at all and tried his best to stop the name from sticking, but it didn't work. The 2 boys were known and the Bodyguard and the Brain, a name that Izuku LOVED. He had half a mind to trick Katsuki into wearing a pink shirt so they could be 'Pinky and the Brain', but he wanted to live long enough to build all the things he had designed.

He spent the school days aceing everything the teachers threw at him until eventually, they had to start him on high school work. Izuku loved High school work. It was complicated and a little harder than Middle school work, but what Izuku loved was how much of it there was.

Because of his advanced status in his school, he was sort of left to his own devices during class time. Nothing the teachers were covering Izuku didn't already know, so they let him sit in the back and work on the High school stuff.

He spent the other 18 hours in the day either at Hatsume Industries, building device after device or at home, catching up on new and old TV shows and games. And when I say device after device, I mean it, Izuku was on a roll.

Currently, he had some big project that he was saving until he 'got better at coding' as he put it. So whenever he wasn't practising coding, he was doing some smaller project. His storage space was slowly getting filled with devices from different games, movies, and TV shows.

He was wearing the first in this inventing spree, a pair of self-tying shoes that he made from a pre-20th-century movie trilogy called [Back to the Future]. Kan had watched the movies at Izuku's suggestion and made the boy promise not to attempt to make the DeLorean. The boy did so, but Kan didn't see the fingers crossed behind his back.

He had built a multitude of other small devices as well, including; A pair of sleeker versions of something called a [Power-fist] from a game called [Fallout 4], a small box meant to bypass security systems without setting off alarms called a [Sapper] from an old game called [Team Fortress 2], and had built a large supply of the [Electric smoke grenades] from his presentation.

Every now and then he would bring an invention with him to school to work on it, and his class would probably not get any work done for the first few sessions, too caught up in Izuku's new project.

But one of his favourite things that had happened over the last 4 months, what that his online persona, Ins0mniac, had been contacted by a sidekick in a nearby agency, who was about to go off on their own, and had asked Izuku for some ideas for their suit.

Izuku had almost fainted when he found out that it was Kamui Woods, a sidekick in the Death Arms Agency. Izuku adored his Quirk, and quickly messaged the man back and told him to visit Hatsume Industries and ask for In0mniac. He told the man that he would say a specific word to let him know who he was; 'Scatterbrained'

And that's what Izuku was currently waiting for. He was sitting in the front lobby of the building on the day that he and Kamui had agreed on, bouncing in his seat. He had stayed up all night drawing ideas for Kamui's new suit and tools for him to use, and he knew that if he had any other Quirk that he would be exhausted.

The front door beeped, and the security guard came in, followed by Kamui woods. The Hero was looking around the lobby, presumably looking for Ins0mniac. Izuku stood up and rushed over to them, nodding to the security guard. "Hello there Mr Woods!" Kamui looked down and nodded, holding his hand out for Izuku to shake.

"My name is Izuku Midoriya! But you know me as-" he did a quick pose to add a little dramatic flair to his reveal. "- Ins0mniac!" Kamui's eyes bulged behind his mask. Sure the kid was in the building, so he had to have some connection to them, and he talked with the same proficiency as any adult, but surely this wasn't the famous Ins0mniac!

"Excuse me? Is this a prank? You can't be Ins0mniac!" Kamui was really confused about this. Could this kid actually be the renowned idea's man that Death arms pointed him to? The kid gave him a frown. "I assure you you're not being - scatterbrained - Mr woods, I am Ins0mniac".

Kamui froze up, it was true, the kid was Ins0mniac. What the hell! "Well kid, you got me, your one smart cookie, Izuku Midoriya". The kid smiled at him, before leading him to an elevator. "Please sir, step in, we have to go down to my workshop to start the tests.

Kamui followed him into the elevator, unsure of what was going to happen next.

Turns out, the kid was a fucking genius

He had brought down Kamui into his workshop and started it all by getting a 3D digital scan on the man without all the wood attached. He was given a blank jumpsuit to change into by the boy, and when he came back, told to stand on 2 white footprints in front of a big machine.

He was spun in a circle before there was a beep, and Izuku told him to get back into his hero costume. He did so and was given a bunch of tests by Midoriya so that the boy could determine the specifics on Kamui's quirks, constantly writing notes in a book.

After the 30th or so distance test, where Kamui would make a single branch go as far as possible, reaching about 50m away thanks to his years of training at UA and under Death arms, Izuku grabbed a hatchet and promptly chopped a bit of the wood off. He leaned down, possibly to inspect it.

"You can detach the wood from your body Mr woods, right?" Kamui was still a little shaken by the quick detachment of his branch but nodded. "Can you, right now, control the bit that I have broken off?" Kamui focused on attempting to make the bit Izuku chopped off grow, and was surprised to see it working, the small piece suddenly growing into a branching mess.

"Yes I can, but it's much harder to do than when it's connected to my body. Why are you smiling like that?" he asked the boy, as he was grinning ear to ear, laughing slightly. Izuku smiled and pulled another piece of wood out of his pocket.

"This-" he waved the bit he just pulled out. "Is the piece of wood I chopped off of your branch. The bit you just grew is just a random bit of wood I had on my desk". Kamui was shocked, he could only control the wood that grew off his body! What had the kid done to him?

"Please Don't panic Mr woods, let me explain!". The boy seemed excited. He pulled up a document on his screen, a sketch of Kamui and a bunch of writing about his Quirk. Too much for just the tests they had been doing. "I have always theorised that you might be able to control all types of wood, not just the type grown from your body, and now I've been proven correct".

He clapped and pointed towards the branched out mess that he had used to test it. "Now I that I see what you did, I can tell you that it was your own mental block! Years of being told what your Quirk could do by others probably put the block up... Imagine what you can do now! If you patrolled close to nature reserves, you would be practically unstoppable! A top Hero in no time!"

He continued on this tangent for a little while, but Kamui wasn't listening. He was having a slight crisis at how a boy that had known him for a few hours had just elevated his Quirk to the extreme, while he himself had been stuck for years. He gave himself a reminder to spread the word about Ins0mniac, this kid was amazing.

They talked for a bit after that, determining payment and what the suit would look like and how it would function. Izuku pointed out that he didn't need a heavy suit of armour as he could just make it out of wood, and so designed the suit to be a form-fitting, fireproof, flexible material with knee-high boots.

As the kid led him out of the building and wished him a good day, Kamui was in a daze. He was 13. The kid was 13 and already had improved his Quirk, made near-perfect assumptions about its applications, and had even pointed out many of his weaknesses and how they could be exploited. Honestly, if the kid didn't have a heart of gold, Kamui would have put him on a watchlist, just in case.

Even if he didn't go that far, he knew one person that would love the kid. A staff member from his old school, the current principal. As he sent Nezu an Email about the kid and how he was actually Ins0mniac, he pulled a bit on the trees around him. Their branches extended towards him as easily as he usually did. He shivered.

Had he just made a huge mistake? Nezu and Izuku Midoriya working together. Kamui knew that they would either usher in a new golden age for technology, or they would destroy the world.

They were currently in a staff meeting, or at least, they should have been.

Eraserhead was 'sleeping' at his seat, Midnight was chatting with Present Mic, and Power Loader was going over new designs for the TDL with Cementoss. The other teachers were focusing on other things.

Everyone stopped what they were doing in fear when they heard a small giggle from the front of the room, followed by the rapid clicking of Nezu's keyboard. This grew into a panic when the giggling changed into cackling. Then Nezu was standing on his desk, hand in the air, pulling off his best dramatic bad guy laugh as he read something on his screen.

"I know I'm gonna regret this, but what the hell has got you all like this Nezu sir?" Midnight said, voicing their collective thoughts. Nezu snapped his mouth shut, cutting off the laughter, and looked at the staff.

"Sorry about that I forgot you were here in my excitement. If you really want to know-" he giggled again and there was a certain glint in his eye that terrified the staff.

"I think I just found the perfect candidate to be my personal student, and you all know how frustrated I have been in that subject.'' He fell back into his cackling, and Aizawa could be heard mumbling a short prayer for whoever Nezu had found. Leaning over, he saw a civilian Quirk profile on Nezu's screen.

A 13-year-old named Izuku Midoriya. 'What the hell?' Aizawa thought, before the mental strength needed to care left him. He placed his head back down onto the desk and fell back asleep.

'Whatever, it's the kid's problem now, not mine'

Izuku shivered a bit, which was weird. Was the heater off? The heater was never off. He got up and checked it, and it was still running. He checked the air conditioner as well, to make sure it hadn't turned on alongside the heater. Nope, still off. Weird.

He had just waved goodbye to Kamui woods and headed back down to the workshop. He was surprised that Mei hadn't interrupted them the entire time Kamui was there. He entered the workshop and his stoic facade failed, his face breaking out into a grin, and he yelled in excitement. This brought Mei over to his side of the workshop.

"I saw you with you customer, Izuku". Izuku laughed at the tone she said 'customer' in. Without thinking, he pulled her into a hug. "Mei that was Kamui Woods! He's about to go pro and he was recommended to me by Death Arms to build him a suit! How amazing is that! I even told him you were going to be working on it as well!"

Her demeanour changed immediately at the last bit, changing from fake anger to joy. She returned the hug. "I get to make babies for a hero suit! Hell yea!" after a while jumping around in the hug, Izuku pulled back and pulled up the 3d scans he had gotten of the Hero, as well as the notes he had taken.

Mei scanned them quickly, nodding as she did. She immediately pulled some of Izuku's blueprint paper out of its storage box, and they got to drawing, inputting suggestions to each other every now and then.

Kan, who had been watching them from his office ever since Kamui woods entered the building, smiled. He had promised Inko that he wouldn't try to push them together until at least High school, but in his eyes, he wouldn't need to at all.

They were a perfect team, bouncing ideas and designs off of one another for hours until finally Mei was kicked out to go to bed. She went out kicking and screaming as the guard dragged her out, yelling at Izuku to somehow make a machine that copied his Quirk, and Kan felt fear when it looked like Izuku was contemplating it.

He set a reminder to talk to the boy about it, before heading to bed himself. He trusted Izuku to not hurt himself while alone, the boy left all the dangerous stuff for when he had Mei down there with him, just in case.

Izuku had spent the time with Mei doing the groundwork for Kamui Wood's new suit, but once she had gone, he had swapped to his most recent project. It was one of the most important to him, as it would allow near-perfect mental control of his devices. It was the project that he had spent nearly 4 months straight [day and night, remember] learning how to code, and was now at the level of most professionals, if not above.

He was fiddling with a pair of what looked to be bright green headwear. It looked like sleek hearing aids, and there was a curved piece of tinted green bulletproof glass that went over his eyes. [AN: if you guys need a visual example, look up Cadet visor, and imagine it in green]

This was his ticket to mental control of the [Gravity Glove], as well as any future invention he had planned. This was his best, craziest, most awesome baby yet. A [Hyper-adaptive Learning AI] intended to co-exist with his mind, allowing his thoughts to become signals that his gadgets could understand.

And who had he based this AI that was meant to help him off of? the one person who had been there for him his entire life, the person who had encouraged him to start building things, the one who had changed his life for the better. His hero…

He slipped the headwear on and pressed the button on the side. After a quick boot-up sequence, the HUD in the goggles lit up, and he could see the face that would be with him from now on.

As he looked at the AI's digital representation, a picture-perfect copy of his mum smiled back. "Hey [MUM], start-up the self-scanning sequence".

"Of course sweety"

Kan didn't know what to think.

Here he was, standing in front of a 13-year-old boy, who had just made his own hyper-adaptive Learning AI to help him control his inventions. He didn't know if he should give the boy a million bucks and tell him to make whatever he wanted or to lock him up forever to keep the world from harm.

And the best thing about it, in his and Inko's opinion, was that he modelled it after his mum. It was a Saturday morning, so they all knew where to find him and Mei. the 2 of them headed down into the workshop and were shocked and a little worried by what they saw.

Standing in the middle of the testing area, writing something in his notebook, was Izuku. He was wearing new goggles, Inko noticed, but what shocked them was the swirling mass of spare parts and materials levitating around the boy. She immediately thought he was using his Gravity Glove to do this, but it wasn't on his arm.

"Izuku! Are you doing this!?" Kan yelled over the near-constant noise of metal clanking together. Izuku looked up, saw the 2 of them, and suddenly all the items that had been flying around the boy went back to their places. Izuku floated over to them, a smile on his face.

"Hey Mum, hey Kan, I made a really cool new thing! Let me explain it to you!" And so he launched into his spiel about coding and AI and machines and mental control and a million other things that Inko didn't understand. She just wanted to know what he was doing, not how he did it.

"Oh sorry, mum! I'll get to that now!" Damnit, she had forgotten that Izuku got his mumbling from her. "Basically, I used the neural interface in my new goggles-" he tapped the side of the machine. "- to transform my thoughts of what I wanted to pick up and where I wanted it to go, into a signal that the glove can pick up, allowing me to seamlessly re-create a stereotypical telekinesis!"

That had helped a little, but she still looked over to Kan expectantly. His job when they were both down there was to be an unofficial Izuku translator for her. He turned to her as well, mouth still wide open in shock as he muttered something; 'Forget about surpassing David Shield, this kid is going to rule the fucking world'.

"Kan? Translation, please?" he snapped out of his trance, and looked over to her, processing her words as his brain caught up. "Oh, right, sorry". He rubbed the back of his head, a habit he had picked up from Izuku. "Basically, he made a machine that does this; His thought about moving a cup changes into a signal that tells the machine exactly how to move the cup".

Inko's eyes widened at this. "That's incredible honey! You're so amazing!" she ran forward and was about to crush him in a hug when she was lifted into the air, held in place. She looked at Izuku in surprise and giggled slightly at the pout he was giving the 2 adults. He placed Inko back down next to Kan.

"Now before you rudely interrupted me, I wasn't finished talking about the new stuff did!" Kan and Inko felt a little guilty about that, but on the inside were still laughing at the pout. "AS you can see, I'm not wearing my glove". Kan nodded, he had noticed that and wondered how Izuku was still doing all the telekinesis without it.

Izuku tapped a small black box on his belt, a small blue circle with a handprint in the middle on the outside. "I was too limited in my thinking before. Now that I don't need to point out my hand at the thing to move it, as well as use the other hand to control it, I realised something. Why have a machine that takes up my entire arm, when I can make the machine as small as possible and have it on my belt!"

Kan's eyes opened wide, surely he doesn't mean- "This is the [Telekinesis Module] for what I'm calling my [Power belt]! Because of all the space I was able to save taking out the manual control and not having it be a glove, it fits on my belt!" He tapped the belt and flashed them a proud smile. "My belt actually has a power source in it that will eventually power all of the modules!"

Mei had wandered over after all the floating materials had been put back in their normal spots, and was now staring at Izuku like he was a god among men. Kan used all of his strength to fulfil his promise to Inko, he reined himself as best as he could, making sure he didn't tease them about Mei's staring.

"Now! If you'll excuse me, I think the testing has been a success, and I need to finish up Kamui Woods new suit". He said it casually, but Inko nearly fainted. She had seen the Hero in action, the wood covered man swinging through the city chasing after a robber. He was one of the only heroes she knew by name, surprisingly.

"Oh yea, I never told you about that. Whoops! Kamui woods was referred to me by death arms to build his new suit as he's about to go Pro! Apparently Death Arms really liked the suggestions he got from 'Ins0mniac". he said, pointing a finger into his chest with pride.

As he turned away and walked towards his desk, Mei suddenly started floating, giggling, as Izuku dragged her to his workbench with him. And at that, the 2 adults knew that the kids were going to be in inventing mode for another few hours, and left the workshop.

Kan shook his head and mumbled. "Gonna take over the freaking world"

Katsuki was honestly getting annoyed with Deku.

The Hero suit he had made had been amazing, and weights were perfectly fitting for him and had increased the speed that his stamina and muscle were improving, and he had built a costume for a fucking Pro hero, but the idiot wasn't going to let Kamui Woods reveal his real name, telling the Hero to call him Ins0mniac whenever someone asked.

Katsuki, deep within him, understood. Privacy was something top-level heroes and inventors didn't get a lot of, and Izuku was 100% aware of this. He wanted to reveal that he was Ins0mniac and that he was working with Hatsume Industries once they had gotten into UA, most likely at the sports festival.

That was like 3 years away! Katsuki had to mentally hold himself back from strangling his friend. And yes, he thought of them as friends at this point. Katsuki had tried to distance himself from Izuku a bit so people would stop calling him a bodyguard, but he had just been dragged deeper and deeper into something the school called "Midoriya Magnetism"

He just seemed to attract people, picking people at random and becoming their friend. And no-one had been able to tell him 'no' yet. It was honestly kind of scary. Izuku had scoured the school for Quirks that he could replicate and put on his [Power Belt], something that Katsuki definitely wanted a copy of on his future Hero costume, but had turned up mostly empty.

He had tried to replicate a student who could read emotions, but the AI he had built was still fairly new and wasn't able to handle 2 peoples brains at the same time, so Izuku had put it on the later pile.

One thing that was noticed by all was that Izuku never took the goggles and belt off. They saw him using his Telekinesis throughout the entire day, and not a school day went by that he wasn't wearing the gear.

And honestly, no-one could blame him, it was an amazing device and the fact that one of their classmates had built it from scratch had made the school's resident Cryptid a celebrity at Aldera, even with the upperclassmen. The bullying had stopped, not because the bullies suddenly liked Izuku, but because he had used the belt to slam them into a few walls as he defended one of his classmates.

And if you thought he was a celebrity before, now it was like He and Katsuki were the school's favourites. Katsuki was the future #1 hero and Izuku was the next David Shield. That's what was said at almost every second school assembly, and Izuku never really got sick of hearing those words, but he knew that others did, so he asked the teachers to stop, which they did.

And then the Izuku had some of the worst few days he had ever had. He was practically ordered by Kan and his mum to take a week off. A WEEK! Did they know how many babies he could make in a week?! [And yes, Izuku has been fully dragged into Mei's habit of calling his inventions his babies, and he didn't even really notice it]

He felt a little better when Mei was kicked out as well, at least he would have his best friend to spend the week with. Katsuki may be his oldest friend, but Mei was his closest. Mei was the one that kept up with his thoughts [not an easy task] and helped him make babies.

They spent the first day planning out what they would do for the other 6, down to the semi-hourly breaks. Mei had tried to use the same sleeping schedule for both of them [AKA: never sleeping] but Izuku had made her promise to sleep a reasonable amount, and she agreed. If Kan were there, he would be taking notes on how the hell he had done it.

They spent the week relaxing, or in Izuku's case, something Inko called 'Anti-relaxation'. Due to the way Izuku's Quirk worked, if he stayed still and watched a movie, for example, the energy output of his body would have nothing draining it, and he would get more and more hyperactive. Currently, the only way to reverse this was to make Izuku take a mild Quirk suppressant, but they just gave him headaches, so they avoided it when possible.

And so that's how Izuku found himself pumping away on a cycling machine as he and Mei watched a movie. She was splayed out over the sofa as he showed her one of his favourite movies, one that he wanted to build the main tech from one day, [Pacific Rim].

He knew that he would probably never get permission to build a Jaeger, but it was a nice thing to daydream about, him and Mei piloting an All Might Jaeger taking down villains that held even the real deal back.

By the end of the week, he was full of new ideas, and ready to go, even more, enthusiastic about his babies now then he had been. He knew some of it was due to his Hyperactivity Build-up, he couldn't stop it completely, his body was too efficient for that, but he knew the 'rest' had done him good, not that he would ever admit that to the adults.

Mei seemed to agree, and as they were finally allowed back into the workshop, they sprinted towards their respective desks. Well, Mei sprinted, Izuku floated over. He had really gotten the hang of it at this point and loved the feeling of levitating.

As they worked, Kan got an Email up in his office. He put down the document he had been reading, the progress report of one of his projects, and unlocked his computer, nearly spilling his coffee over himself when he saw who had sent it. In big bold writing at the top of the Email was one name. Nezu.

Kan did a quick prayer for Izuku, as he knew that he as the topic of the Email. He opened the email and read it. He printed the document out and sprinted for the elevator, calling Inko.

Nezu wanted to meet her son.
