My Hero Academia Chapter 1

New Beginnings:

It was a normal day in the Midoryia household as the young Izuku sat in his room, surrounded by all of his All Might merchandise. He swung back and forth on the desk chair, waiting with barely contained enthusiasm as his mother, Inko Midoriya, opened up the video of the number 1 hero in action.

Izuku had watched the clip and many others a hundred times over but still contained the same levels of enthusiasm as he watched his idol smile broadly as he rescued numerous people from a burning building, carrying them all effortlessly as he moved them to safety where the emergency response teams and other heroes waited for the injured victims.

As All Might reached the medical teams the Rescue Specialist, Backdraft, moved in and begun to put out the flames with his hydrokenisis to focus all of the firefighters water cannons on the burning building, putting the fires out. The camera quickly switched over to view where All Might was standing as the hero's signature smile beamed as he crouched down next to a crying girl and held out his hand where a slightly singed teddy bear could be seen before the small girl grabbed the teddy and held it close to her as her parents thanked the pro hero. As the scene played out Izuku stared star eyed at the screen as All Might turned to the camera and announced that "There is no need to fear! Why? For I am here!" before the hero turned and leapt away, no doubt heading off to help others as the camera went black and the video ended.

Izuku laughed excitedly, trying to mimic All Might's laugh as he spun around in his chair as his mother giggled watching her son with an amused tint in her eyes. "You probably added at least ten thousand views to that video alone by now Izuku" Inko stated as the young boy grasped hold of his All Might figurine and turned to look up at his mother with a wide smile on his face as he said "Did you see how he smiled as he saved those people mum? He always smiles and says 'Do not fear! For I am here!' When I grow up I'm gonna be a hero just like him" while posing his figurine to show what had happened in the video. With a happy smile Inko picked the small boy up and reminded Izuku that "All great heroes need sleep as well as a quirk." As the young boys eyes began to droop he snuggled into Inko as they approached his bed. Inko placed her son down on his bed and placed a kiss to his forehead before tucking him in and saying good night. Izuku sleepily replied "good night" back as he drifted off to a peaceful slumber, dreaming about being a hero and fighting alongside the All Might.

The next morning Izuku and Inko were awoken by the sound of the smoke detector, startling Inko who quickly flung off her cover as she leapt to her feet to go and make sure that Izuku was ok. As she approached her son's room her blood ran cold, for smoke escaped through the bottom of Izuku's door alerting Inko to where the fire was. Inko quickly swung the door open and covered her mouth and nose with her arm and the smoke swept out of the now open door and straight into Inko, stinging her eyes as she pushed on through the smoke to find her son. Her heart raced as the smoke slowly escaped the room revealing Izuku who sat up in his bed with a shocked look on his face as his mother rushed forward with tears in her eyes as she clung to her son before checking him for any injuries.

"A-are y-you okay Izuku? D-do you know where the fire is? Or what started it?" Inko rapidly fired off questions as she finished making sure that her son was alright before quickly searching the room, looking for the flickering flames that had created the smoke. When her search turned up empty she heard Izuku laugh behind her and felt heat emanating from her son. As Inko turned around she was greeted by small flames escaping her son's mouth as he continued to laugh with a large smile on his face before quietening down and turning his body so that he fully faced his star struck mum and said "haha, did you see mum? I can breathe fire, just like Dad!"

The next day Izuku was taken to the doctors so that they could assess and explain the quirk to the worried mother and energetic son. As the tests were finished Inko and Izuku were asked to sit in the waiting room while the doctor finished looking through the tests results. "Mum? Why are you so worried? " Inko looked down to her son with a look of surprise before giving a small smile as she tried to conceal her inner turmoil from the four year old, "what do you mean Izuku? I'm not worried, I'm just ... Excited, yes excited like you are to find out more about your quirk" Inko half lied, as she was anxious to learn more about Izuku's quirk but was also worried that the quirk would lead her son to danger either from the quirk itself, or from others trying to use Izuku for their own selfish needs. Izuku gave his mother a confused look before and appeared to be about to question Inko further when the doctor walked into the waiting room and asked the pair to follow him to his office.

As Inko and Izuku walked into the room they were greeted by the results from Izuku's test including an image of his X-ray to check for any changes that may have happened to the boys skeletons. All of this was seen neatly stacked on the doctor's desk, save for the X-ray which was handed to Inko to look at. The duo sat on the chairs that were placed so that they faced the doctor, as the doctor sat on his own chair a creak was heard but was ignored by all three people who currently sat in the room. Inko looked over the X-ray results with a confused look on her face as she had no idea what it meant. She looked up at the doctor who had leaned back in his chair with the results in hand and politely handed the x-ray back to the doctor who then let out a small cough before speaking "well Mrs. Midoriya, it would seem that your sons quirks is similar to his Fathers. That is to say that young Izuku here can exhale fire when he wishes, but it appears that this is not the full extent of your sons' abilities." He finished with a small smile appearing on his face as he watched the mother and son stare at him with confusion; Izuku looking confused for a moment before his face lit up as he started rocking back and forth in his chair energetically as he waited, while Inko appeared to only become more concerned on just what her sons quirk could do.

The two of them waited in near silence as they waited for the doctor to explain further "Mrs Midoriya your son appears to have a hybrid quirk" "I-I'm afraid I don't understand, what's a hybrid quirk?" "A hybrid quirk is a rare mutation where a child inherits both of their parents quirks, so in Izukus case he has the ability to produce fire while also being able to attract or repel small, light objects just like yourself" the doctor paused to allow this new information to sink in. Inko was shocked to hear the news, feeling both excited and happy that Izuku had inherited both of his parent's quirks but was also even more concerned as she realised that Izuku may be targeted by unsavoury people who would look to exploit his rare hybrid quirk. When she glanced at Izuku all she could see was his wide smile and bright eyes as her son continued to rock in his chair as he took in the new information, hugging the All Might figurine that he had brought to his chest as he imagined himself as a hero using his quirk to help people and make them smile. The doctor handed Inko the papers from his desk, explaining that all of the information they had gathered through the tests was compiled inside so that her and Izuku could better understand his quirk. Inko and Izuku exchanged goodbyes with the doctor and left the hospital and headed back home. No sooner had they walked through the door, the home phone began ringing. Inko let Izuku go and watch the clips of All Might on his computer so that she could answer the phone in private. As soon as she put the phone to her ear she heard a familiar voice "hello love. How's Izuku" said Izuku's father, Hisashi Midoriya. Inko smiled hearing her husband's voice over the phone and went on to explain what had happened during their time at the doctors. Inko and Hisashi talked about the implications of the quirk, with Inko voicing her concerns and Hitashi reasoning that Izuku would be fine. Inko remained unconvinced but was startled when Izuku spoke up from behind her "Mum? Are you talking to Dad?" Izuku asked as he looked up at his mother, waiting patiently for her response when he heard his father's voice on the other end of the phone. Inko then handed the phone to her son and watched as the young boys face once again lit up as he begun to converse with his Dad.

As she watched her son happily speak with Hisashi she noticed small flames sprout from his mouth where they floated about, moving in the same direction as Izuku's hands as the boy remained oblivious to what he was doing. 'He's using both quirks together to control the fire, T-that's amazing... Izuku, no matter what, I'll always worry about you but with your quirk, I know you'll achieve your dream and become a hero' Inko thought to herself as she continued to watch as the flames slowly died out, ony now noticing that Izuku had stopped speaking and his mouth was hanging open as his father continued to talk to him, although Inko couldn't make out what her husband was saying she did notice how Izuku smiled for the umpteenth time that day as he passed the phone back to his mother who found that the call had ended. Inko looked to Izuku and asked what his dad had talked to him about, Izuku happily responded "dad said he coming home next week." as Inko heard this she went through two emotions, shock at the suddenness of Hitashi's return home and happiness that there whole family would be together during this stressful time.
