Assimilation begin.

A handful of blue tentacles slithered around the throat of a boy. Eyes widened as the aggressor suddenly became prey. A crack and a thud, and childish glee. When the weak become strong it's due to more than strength. When push comes to shove uncontrolled brutality overcomes all.

Death is the answer, you or them.

Survive, to maintain.

Kill, to become more.

Control is stagnation, and stagnation is weakness.

C o n s u m e E v e r y t h i n g

Izuku's dream state blurred and fell into a static. He knew he had two more quirks to assimilate, but his current state of mind was causing him to doubt if he could make it. The static faded to a continuous ringing, Izuku pulled his cellphone from his pocket. A voice pulled his attention.

"Hey honey, I know you've been working hard at work" static broke the line momentarially.

"But it's not enough, you're not enoug--" the line faded and aggression was all that remained. Footsteps pounded, slowly gaining intensity. When the steps stopped the screaming began. Every pained wail was like music.

"So I took the kids, I took our money to start a better life with them."

As Izuku listened, he understood, and knew that running away wouldn't solve anything. But sometimes all that's possible is to sprint away.

Assimilation complete.

He knew. Her heart told the truth. The soft continuous thumping haplted as the rhythm of her voice shifted. Her lips clicked when she attempted to lie through her teeth. She wasn't coming home. She was leaving for good.

"When I come back I'll have your favorite food, so be good for Mommy"

Izuku nodded slowly, tears dripped from his cheeks as he watched her fade to Black. Her heartbeat betrayed her lips, but now he could tell that his mother was smiling in her heart.

He was alone. But he could still hear his mother breath in relief as she put more distance between the two.

He heard it all. And he hated it.

Izuku wiped the tears that had been falling from his eyes. Fighting away thoughts of his own mother as he began to decipher his new quirks.

"The compatibility percentage is simple, emitter quirks are guaranteed to be 70% or higher due to only being energy based. Mutation quirks vary depending on current body composition, the lowest percentage I've experienced has been the one quirk that I have failed to assimilate. I believe I need a cognitive enhancer, or some other mutation quirk increase the percentage. Transformation and emitter quirks are simple on the other hand and seem to be incredibly compatible with Gluttony."

"My current reserve of quirks includes the following. Gluttony, Liquid body, Transform, Coloured light projection, two unknown emitter quirks and two mutation one unable to assimilate. At the moment I've observed that there are two factors that affect a quirks assimilation and the resulting power. The original strength of the quirk, and the ability it becomes after Gluttony cultivates it." Izuku spoke into the camera. His eyes glared into the lense with a odd intensity as he spoke.

"I say ability because it is no longer just a quirk. It has become a part of gluttony and myself. I'm not just mimicking quirks or replicating, it's not as simple as stockpiling quirks either. Let me eleborate" Izuku paused to catch his breath before he began to ramble again.

"Transform started simple, it became stronger as it was consumed by Gluttony. But it seems that now Gluttony has become more as well. Meaning the cultivation works both ways. With Himiko's quirk I have now developed a new ability; it seems many Mutation quirks previously beyond my grasp are now simple to consume. Gluttony switches the genetics, plays with the strands until it picks the perfect combination. A mutation becomes a transformation and much more powerful than the base user could ever hope for. The true cultivation of raw power. Not only does a quirk become mine, but it becomes several times stronger after fully assimilated. And it seems that this is only the beginning!!" Madness lit his green eyes. One could have confused Izuku's ramblings as that of a madman.

"As Gluttony changes so does it's abilities and the power that it imbues to the rest of my abilities." He paused and willed his arm into sludge as a description.

He focused slightly and light glittered within his appendage.

"Coloured light protection proved useless in the hands of a normal person, but with some creativity, Liquid body and Gluttony's help I am able to refract light within myself. I can glow now, create beams of hyper compressed green light and I may be able to increase the temperature within my own body with practice. Potentially becoming hot enough to melt metal projectiles and seriously burn anyone stupid enough to grab me. To put it simply, any quirk develops the potential to be strong when combined with Gluttony." Izuku laughed, all his life he struggled with self image. He had a useless quirk, and now he knew it was so much more. It made him re-evaluate his decision to become a journalist, he remembered the day, the same day his childhood dreams crumbled, and the same day he developed his quirk. Izuku frowned, and his eyes softened as he thought of his mother.

Flashback Begin

"Mommy, I'm hungry" Izuku pulled at the elder Midorya's skirt. Inko looked down at her young boy and sighed.

"I know you're a growing boy my little glutton, but if you eat too much you'll get sick honey." She spoke in a soft tone, attempting to quell her child's hunger with words alone. But when she saw his green eyes widened in disappointment her heart broke.

The boy turned away and stumbled with a hand on his stomach. Izuku walked a few steps and the loud rumbling of his stomach made Inko reconsider. She picked her son up and placed him on the kitchen table.

"I just made you lunch did you not eat it Izuku?" She spoke in a firm tone.

"I did! I did I swear! I'm just so hungry…"

"...And nothing is managing to make you full?"

"Yeah!!"

Inko pulled Izuku into a hug, while her eyes widened in recognition. Pulling away from the hug, she told him to sit still, and as he did she stepped into the kitchen. He heard several cabinets open and a moment later Inko came back into the room with a black cell phone placed against her ear. Izuku didn't recognize it as her sparkling pink iPhone, but at the time he thought nothing of it.

Inko spoke in a hushed tone, he was only able to catch glimpses of her conversation.

" Yes….. and he's hungry… I know bu-... Father, please. He's only a child."

She closed the flip phone dejectedly. Her eyes had whispers of tears. She walked up to her son and gripped him closely to her.

"We need to go see a doctor Izuku" she held his shoulders and looked into his green eyes.

"Dr. Mina?" Izuku questioned softly.

She shook her head slowly.

"I'm sorry Izuku, but you're going to have to be brave for your mom" she spoke, "And most importantly never tell anyone."

The boy nodded.

"If you're good, you get anything you want for dinner"

Green eyes lit with hunger, then understanding followed.

"Yes Kaa-chan"

Detective Naomasa Hated paperwork, he considered it the bane of his existence. He wished he had a simple augmentation quirk, not 'Truth' it made each page infinitely more complex. He had to reference his quirks findings separate and fill 3 forms out signing disclosures stating that he isn't lying. His quirk may be seen as the be all end all to solving crimes, but in the end there was a reason he hadn't been promoted to Chief of Police. Corruption. With a quirk that could act as a get out of jail free card if Naomasa was willing to bend his morals. He scribbled his signature unto a few more pages when a gust of wind ran rampant through his office.

"Fear not citizens for--"

Turning to his window he sighed.

"You got here quick"

All-Might fell face first, and poofed into a fragile shell of his muscled public figure.

"I apologize for cutting you off but I would infact like to inform you Toshi, I am an officer of the law." the detective spoke with absolute authority.

All-night deflated both literally and figuratively. His boney face revealed a grim sense of reality, a look that almost suggested that he had given up.

Toshinori was a hero capable of smiling through the pain, but within the office of one of his closest friends he felt as if he could let a few of his many barriers down.

"So, what happened to my boy?" He cut to the chase, his patient demeanour was shattered as he worry sank into the room.

The detective sighed before clapping his folder closed. A couple moments passed as the man began to piece together the story in a way to cause the least amount of panic.

"Your son, well, Izuku defeated a villain that was responsible for the deaths of an estimated 43 people over a 6 month spree" Naomasa began.

Toshi laughed his loud boisterous laugh for a moment before blood spewed from his lips.

"That's...AMAZING I TRUST MY BOY IS IN GOOD HEALTH AS WELL"

"He wasn't harmed physically in the process, however the villain attempted to posses Izuku through his esophagus…"

Blue eyes widened as the realization sunk in. His son was attacked and barely made it out alive, only making it due to a silly fluke and an incompatible quirk. But then another question pushed into his thick heroic skull. But before he could ask the defective answered.

"Upon reaching unconsciousness Izuku forced the man into his stomach and gluttony began to consume the foreign substance as if it were ramen. Killing the man instantly."

The room was dead quiet.

The glowing singular green tendril melted into a black before it split into five separate goopy segments and solidified into purple tentacles. Every octopus like arm was lined with rows of small mouths, each complete with serrated teeth, gums and a tongue.

"From the memories I saw a child born with tentacles for fingers, the cultivated results appear to be much more menacing." He laughed, posing with his new ability before the camera.

"This doesn't quite explain why the unknown mutation hasn't adapted to become a transformative quirk after consuming. My hypothesis is that it simply requires a lot more mental capacity, my brain is as human as anyone's and so my next venture is to gain a mental enhancer. However unfortunately quirk databases are locked under government law so discovering a non-hero with such an ability is neigh impossible." The boy sighed as he rubbed his forehead.

"Fortunately the others provided to be simple to assimilate, I've yet to attempt my emmiter, I believe a larger area may be valuable as the fragments I got from the memories provided little information. But on the plus side, the other mutation was simple to desipher. Super hearing. While by itself the quirk isn't capable of much, in my hands I have no doubt it will become an incredibly valuable asset. There is also the factor of what within the ability has change after the assimilation, I'll be sure to test the capabilities when the opportunity presents itself."

Izuku's phone buzzed in his pocket letting him know it was time to leave the apartment. He switched the camera off, and stepped over to the fridge to grab his lunch only to halt in his tracks. He hadn't made anything, he normally cooked through the weekend in bulk but with everything that occurred he had forgotten. He grabbed a thermos, popped open a couple of vials, threw a few ice cubes in the mix and had himself a pseudo protein shake. His stomach growled, and he took a sip. He hoped he could control the lapse into his unconscious state.

He hadn't noticed it yet, but he was hungry again. Even after downing three quirks the night before and two in his morning concoction, Izuku still wanted more. He would find soon that this hunger would be deeper then anything he could imagine.

A loud knock woke Izuku from his stupor. He snagged his bag from the table and rushed to the door. He pulled the door open and stared blankly at the blonde in front of him.

"Himiko?"

"Izu-chan!! I missed you so much, I couldn't sleep thinking about how we left things last night, and I wanted you to know I love you! Please forgive me? And will you marry me?"

Izuku blinked. Surprise was burning his ears. How could a girl that snuck into his house at 6 am and attempted to kill him turn around and confess her love. He paused rethinking, actually, it made perfect sense. He mentally sighed and quickly started to think about the best way to dance around her feelings.

"I appreciate your feelings Himiko. However, I currently have some things I need to figure out, let's just be friends"

A frown popped into the face of the psychopath and Izuku painicked momentarily, he was now looking for a way to defuse her.

'How could I have actully expected that to work, I must be crazier then her.' as his thoughts rambled on into the extreme he noticed that Himiko nodded excitedly and smiled.

"Sure! Anything for my man! Oooh I brought you a gift to say I'm sorry!" She dangled two containers in front of Izuku, one was nearly empty while the other was half full. Instantly Izuku noticed a scribbled name in sharpie, 'Endeavor' Izuku wished he could scream in excitement.

"They're my favourites, whenever I need to escape or feel really really strong. But I know that Izu-chan will love them too, so here!"

"Is that Endeavors blood?" Izuku asked without taking a pause, his stomach was growling at the thought of such a powerful quirk.

She nodded slightly, her eyes were glued to his. Izuku reached out slowly and gripped the glass along with her hand. Izuku couldn't contain himself. His lips twitched into a smile as he did abandoned self-control. The boy pulled her to himself and laid a soft kiss on her lips. Yellow eyes closed and fell Himiko into the sensation. Her grip loosened and Izuku pulled the vials away, removing his lips from hers at the same time. Looking at the beautiful crimson liquid Izuku didn't think twice as popped the vials open and downed both, while Himiko watched in awe excitement. Never having seen anyone devour blood with the same glee as her.

He quickly pulled her into his apartment. And slammed the door shut. He forgot entirely about school. Naomasa had told him that if needed he could take any time he needed, at the time he had assured the detective he was fine to attend school, however assimilating the quirk of the number two hero definitely took priority.

As he closed the door he decided to transform, the shift was smooth and by the time Izuku had completely turned to Himiko his pink eyes were already examining the girl with hunger.

"Youre going to answer a few of my questions," his voice slithered out. "If you do good I'll be nice and give you another present." His tongue elongated and trailed along her cheek.

She nodded with a smile. Her eyes had moved from his eyes to his tattooed arms and a blush graced her cheeks. He was everything she could have hoped for. The man of her dreams.

Izuku retracted from the girl and stepped backwards. He gestured to the couch and Himiko bounced over, landing without a sound on the green couch. The greenette contemplated his next words for a moment before he decided to speek.

"So he killed a man." All-might spoke slowly, "And you've still kept him in the dark regarding his mother"

Noamasa sighed. This was a matter he and the number one hero had fought over continuously over the years.

"You know maybe if he had known his mother was taken maybe he would have trained more and wouldn't have been put in such a situation."

Toshi ran his fingers through his hair and spoke. His voice a fraction of what the general populace was used to.

"I'm his father, it's my decision. Now tell me where I can find the boy so I can check on him"

"Not a very good one, you know he doesn't much care for 'All-Might'. In Fact it's one of the most definite statements I've heard come from the sly boy" The defective flexed his fingers as the words 'All-might' left his lips. As if he was sarcastically quoting the boy.

"I mean it's not like you went to see him much, and vanishing after his mom disappears," Noamasa leaned back in his chair and moved his hand up pretending to dismiss the silly thought.

"Yeah that was probably a bad idea" Toshi cut him off slumping slightly in his chair. The blond man was defeated for the second time in his life, and he didn't know what to do.

"He's probably at school. You can talk to him at his apartment after."

All-might reised, eyes sparkling with a new ambition. The skinny man gave the detective a look of joy. A plan of action, and it got him excited.

"I suppose the boy moved, would you be able to tell me the new address my friend?"

Naomasa laughed and once again waved away the silly thought.

"That stubborn boy is exactly where you left him, hell the apartment looks exactly the same as before she left Toshi. It's actually sweet how much he misses her."

No matter how rock solid the man was, all it took was that to tear into him. For one of the reasons he had left to America was to forget. And that apartment was the bane of his memories.

"If I was strong enough, then Izuku wouldn't be missing his mother, if I was strong enough then he wouldn't need to be. No matter how selfish leaving was I needed to go to America to attempt to heal after the fight with him you know that."

"But he doesn't Toshi, and I wouldn't be surprised if he slams the door on your face when you show up"

The number one hero clenched his hands together as he came to terms with the mistake of hiding his ailment from Izuku, but it was a nessisary sacrafice. One that he would make again in an instant to protect his only son.

"Thank you for your help old friend. I will keep what you said in mind. But for the moment" he paused, flexing his muscular form.

"I THINK SOME HERO WORK IS IN MY BEST INTEREST"

The second his booming voice appeared the hero was gone in a gust of wind. Papers flew around the room as the man made his exit. When the winds finally calmed Naomasa only had one thought while glaring at the mess made in his office.

'I hate when he does that…"

Izuku made the decision to activate one of his new ablities. He expected to be entranced by the new sounds swarming his ears. His expectations shattered as suddenly he felt as if he had an acute awareness of everything within the space of his apartment. His eyes widened, super hearing shouldn't do this. This was something completely different. Pressure sensitivity? Depth perception? He suddenly found that he didn't need his eyes to know how far Himiko was. Not did he need to see her fingers twisting because he could feel them? And that's not where the oddities ended.

He knew how Himiko felt. He didn't just know, he could feel her radiating a odd mix of joy and loneliness. He knew she felt comfortable with him, but he didn't know how he could tell.

He focused on the girl in front of him. He began to recognize the subtle sound of her heart. It was faint, but he could definitely feel it. Izuku smiled and he spoke. But with his new ability active everything was weird. Instead of listening to the sound of his voice like normal, he felt it. The soundwaves, he could feel as they bounced from surface to surface, and in Izuku's opinion the feeling of not hearing oneself, was actually slightly unnerving.

He actually struggled to understand his own words. However, luckily, Himiko had no such issues.

"Himiko, I recently realized there was more to my quirk then I originally had thought, and as a result I began to research, I was wondering if you would be interested in helping?"

As his words reached her the overwhelming feeling he gained from the girl was overwhelming happiness. He could feel her loyalty, her desires. Knowing it all scared Izuku, he shivered as he reached her more 'primal' feelings. Suddenly he felt as if it might be a good idea to deactivate the ability. He felt what he needed from the girl, he was content that she was trustworthy, or at least as trustworthy as a psychopath can get. Hitting a mental switch his perception changed to normal, disorienting the man-boy for a brief moment.

"I would love to Izu-kun, there's nothing I would love more actually."

Izuku smiled as he heard the sincere tone. He internally laughed, thinking momentarily that his prior quirk usage was slightly pointless. There's no way he couldn't trust such a lonesome girl. Especially since it brought her such happiness.

"Himiko my quirk is the ability to cutivate quirks that I consume. Blood, genetic material and even entire humans if my quirk so desired." Izuku leaned against a wall looking at the blondes reaction with amusement.

She looked like a gaping fish. It was actually kinda cute, Izuku banished the thought from his mind and spoke once more.

"During the assimilation period I'll be unconscious and completely vulnerable. While my quirk is working to get my body up to speed I was hoping I could trust on you"

Himiko clenched her fist and stood abruptly, he head upturned as if he were praying to an all powerful being.

"My man is so AWESOME. Oh my God Izu-kun there's no way I can can say no to such a sexy and powerful man, so of course I'll look after you can I move in and when are we going to think about having kids because I think the sooner the better. You honestly make me so w--" Himiko ranted on in a very Izuku-esk mannar. But before she could get too far ahead of herself Izuku lost consciousness. His control over transform fell and he returned to his regular 12 year old self.

Izuku nearly collapsed to the floor but the transformative girl caught him the second he went down. Worry sank into Himiko but she acted quick, placing the boy on the couch and setting up the recording devices she had turned off during her surprise visit. And all that was left to do was wait and watch as Izuku absorbs 4 new abilities. One of being that of the Number two Hero.

Chapter Two End

Next time on Gluttony: All for me.

"The results came in, he has a quirk toshi" Noamasa spoke with a distinct edge to his voice.

"He's always had a quirk stop spouting nonsense."

"I mean he has two, and I don't know how it's possible, but the QF in his bloodstream is showing attributes of a completely new genetic make up"

"I've been watching you and there's something that's different" Katsuki all but screamed at the boy. He reached out to grab the greenettes shoulder only for his fingers to pass through air.

"Stay the hell away from me if you know what's best for you" Izuku glared.

"What the fuck happened to you Deku?"
