A/N: ill keep it short, whoever wrote that fanfiction "Of Fortune" on spacebattles, please update. That was probably one of the best fanfictions I've ever read and it was only 30k words. Im making this with inspiration from that, precognition, A precise note, and pinwheel eyes.
"Thoughts"
"talking"
[pathfinder talking]
"QUIRKLESS DEKU! HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET A BETTER GRADE THAN ME ON THAT TEST? YOU MUST HAVE CHEATED!"
"There Kachan goes again,"
"I-im sorry, but I told you im not quirkless! The blood test and X-ray proved it! I may not know what my quirk is yet but I have one!" But it was fruitless, Bakugo has already heard it hundreds of times, and never listened.
"Oh, shut up Deku." Bakugo said, Izuku could hear some popping noises. "Cheat again, and I'll kill you!"
"why me? I wish I only knew what my quirk was, maybe then I could find me a path to getting him off my back."
It was then that Izuku saw the message in his vision.
[Path, get Bakugo off of you back. Path found. Path length: 12 seconds. Any conditions? Say go to start path.]
"What the hell? Is this some type of illusion?"
But it was then that the message disappeared, it was also then that Izuku felt a light burn on his shoulder. "Stop ignoring me!" Bakugo was pissed, yet kept his quirk as weak as possible, he didn't want a mark on his record after all.
"S-sorry, I promise! I w-won't cheat!"
That worked, Bakugo left after a sneer.
"What was that vision I saw? Was that my quirk? It activated after I thought about finding a path to get Bakugo off my back, maybe..."
Izuku was always a smart kid, and never one to be in denial. He knew that he likely activated his quirk.
"This sounds stupid, but, find me a path to, I don't know, getting to my room."
[Path found, time: 2 minutes 29 seconds. Conditions?]
"2 and a half minutes? It takes me about 35 minutes normally, it's almost a 5 kilometer walk after all!"
"I guess I say go?"
And that's when he lost control of his body. And the first thing that happened was that he jumped out of the (thankfully open) window.
"AHHHHHH!" Rolling to conserve speed and only getting lightly hurt from the second story jump, he was sprinting towards the opposite direction of his home.
"What the hell? Is my quirk broken? It's leading me in the wrong direction, to... a random gas station? Am I going to steal a car?"
As he sprinted, feeling his body become exhausted but still pushing onwards without his input, he stopped running and went inside, seeing somebody he would never think to see in his life.
"Endeavor is in this gas station! Who is that little boy with him?" He didn't really have time to think as he grabbed the kid, who was about his age, and took him out of the store without alerting Endeavor.
"Hello, Todoroki, I know what your father is doing, I can help you if you simply make a ramp of ice."
He watched as the kid, Todoroki as he was apparently named, had a little panic attack before shakily making the ice ramp as asked.
"What it happening? How does an ice ramp help me?"
As his body convinced this poor kid to make a sleigh he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
"Who is that walking into the gas station? He is wearing a mask, is he a villain?"
As he finished forcing this kid to make this ice contraption, he heard loud bangs behind him.
"Todoroki, that's a villain in there! If your father activates his fire to stop him, the whole place will blow!"
The poor kid looked shook, as soon as he made a small glacier to protect himself, a flash of fire was felt and there was a large explosion.
"AHHHHHHHH!" There was no way for Izuku to keep calm as the explosion launched the ice glacier and sleigh into the air at ridiculous speed. Luckily for him, the glacier and sleigh that he was in as the explosion went off protected him from the brunt of the blast, leaving him with only a couple first degree burns, definitely a painful experience but it could have been worse. Unluckily for him, he was not flying at about the speed of sound up high in the air.
"This is it, I'm dead! My quirk killed me!" But it had not! As he fell onto the road going Mach 1.3, the sleigh made of ice was leaving holes in the road whenever it fell down at a thankfully soft angle, though unthankfully he was getting pelted with small bits of ice and debris as he slowed down to below the speed of sound, barely surviving due to random movements his quirk made him do to avoid death by debris and steering the sleigh by shifting its center of gravity to barely avoid hitting a building or anything that would have killed him on impact, though sharply getting his direction switched by a large curved building (why it was built in that direction he doesn't know, but he won't complain as if it was built normally the impact would have killed him) was inevitable (and left glass shards embedded into his skin).
At this point, the Ice sleigh, if it could even be called that anymore after the abuse it suffered, shattered. Izuku braced himself as he smashed through a window an office building, felt his quirk make him grab something, hold it in front of him, protecting his body as he smashed out the other side of the building about a second later.
"Wait, that office building... are you serious?"
Sadly for him, it was very serious, he smashed straight through the Detnerat building and snatched some sort of shield (dislocating a shoulder in the process) right before he used it to protect himself From smashing through the wall to the outside world.
"I can't believe I'm not dead yet, that explosion has sent me at least 4 kilometers at this point... wait."
As he skidded across the street with the shield protecting him from death, slowly killing his momentum. Izuku felt the blood drain out of his face.
"You can't be serious."
He was only going about 50 miles an hour by this point, so when his shield hit a bump and launched him through the second floor window of a building, his momentum was completely killed, leaving him alive, clutching his shield as Allmight looked at him from every direction.
[Path complete]
His quirk worked, it got him home over 10 times faster than he would have otherwise, at the cost of multiple burns, lacerations, dislocated joints, and a couple broken bones.
"I'm never using this quirk again. At least I got a shield out of it?"
It was only seconds later when Inko opened the door to her sons room to see what caused the noise, and had to call the doctor.
Let's just say, poor Izuku didn't use his quirk for a couple days after that.
As Izuku got home finally after a week in the hospital, he was slammed with piles of homework he had to catch up on.
"Just what I need! I never get a break! Maybe... Path to perfectly completing this homework."
[Path found, 17 minutes, conditions?]
"Conditions, I never noticed that before, how about my condition is beep me in perfect health."
[Path found, 23 minutes, conditions?]
"How the hell does that add 6 minutes to the time?"
"No more conditions, go."
His hand was a blur as he sped through the work, saving hours upon hours of time, as he finished he decided that maybe his quirk wasn't so bad.
And then Inko walked in on her son performing the supernatural feat of writing a read watch essay with citations at the speed of a paragraph in 10 seconds.
"What are you doing?"
[Path complete].
"Uhh, hi mom, I'm just doing my homework?" She didn't buy it, you see, Midoriya though it was a good idea to never tell him mom how he got injured earlier in the week, and now he was caught using his quirk right in front of her, she was not happy.
It took a long explanation of his new quirk, but he narrowly avoided getting in trouble.
"Are you angry?" Izuku said after he finished his explanation.
"Angry? My son finally has his quirk and you think I'd be angry? This is cause for celebration! It only took you 8 years longer then it should have, but there's still time to make it count!"
Later, Izuku was at a new fancy restaurant with his mother. "What would you like sir?". Izuku had no idea what he wanted so he made a quick decision.
"Path to ordering the best meal."
After saying go without even looking at the time, he ordered tea, crumpets, and a steak.
"I didn't know that you liked tea." Inko said.
"I don't, I've hated it every time I've tried it."
"Why did you give the waiter hyper-specific instructions on exactly how to make the tea?"
"No clue."
As they talked, another family sat right next to them, sadly this resturaunt didn't respect customer privacy and say families shoulder to shoulder at the same table, something about how the plot demands it, or so the manager says.
As Izuku talked, he felt as if the person sitting next to him was too close, as he turned to tell her to move, his words died in his throat.
"Woah, she's cute! Nononononono stop that brain."
"H-hello, my name is Izuku Midoriya."
"Dammit I totally failed my greeting, stupid stutter!"
"My name is Saiko Intelli, pleasure to meet you." She said. Izuku tried to talk to her, but he just kept embarrassing himself.
"Here's your food." The waiter had returned with his steak, tea, and crumpets, Izuku saw the girl, Intelli, perk up.
"What type of tea is that? It smells amazing! C-can I have a sip, please?"
"What the hell? Why is the cute girl asking for a sip of my tea?"
"Uhh, why? Is that not kind of weird?" She looked offended.
"W-well, my quirk needs tea to activate. As a side affect, I can immediately tell how effective certain teas would be with my quirk at a glance, that tea you have there is more powerful than any tea I've ever seen, and I've drank some expensive teas."
This made sense, so Izuku gave her the tea (he definitely did it because of her reasoning, not because his heart was beating out of his chest with a cute girl pleading with him.) and silently watched as she sipped, closed her eyes, and seemed to be in a state of bliss. He was enchanted until she pulled out some paper?
"Uhh, what are you doing?" He asked. "Homework." The girl responded. "Is she serious?" "Why?".
As it would turn out, the way the tea interacted with her quirk was that it made her way smarter (Izuku was in shock, intelligence quirks were probably the second rarest type of quirk, and along with precognition quirk users, most people with them were usually kidnapped at a young age).
As they talked, they eventually exchanged numbers, and Izuku was on top of the world.
as they departed, Izuku felt a horrible sense of danger.
"So, I didn't know that you had a girlfriend."
he was doomed.
A/N: so basically, Info on the quirk, it is just PTV. Unlike other iterations of this power though, Izuku has no idea of the result of the paths he takes (or even the steps of the path) until he actually gets there. The quirk will not be able to work on others with intelligence quirks, nor will it work on the users of OFA or AfO. This is a Intelli/Izuku pairing if you couldn't tell, I usually dk tbe Shiozaki pairing but I've decided to eave my Catholicism out of my fanfic for once. Don't be surprised if this gets abandoned.
