Chapter 4

~Midoriya Household~

"Izuku! Are you fine!?" greeted his completely worried Mother as he opened the entrance to their Apartment, "The News said, there was a Villain attack close to your path Home! I was so worried."

"I am fine Mom. All Might saved me." Explained Izuku, trying to calm his Mother down who already had tears in her eyes. But that was the wrong thing to say he realized, as his Mother burst into tears.

"S-s-saved? S-so you were attacked? Oh, Izuku. Do we need to go to the Hospital?" she asked while crying, completely worried for the safety of her son now. As she began to hug him.

"Nothing happened to me, Mom. No, need to cry. At least nothing bad." Added Izuku as he realized, that he should be as honest as possible with his Mother. He saw no point in hiding the existence of his power, and lose the trust of his mother who always supported him, once he becomes a Hero.

"So something did happen?" asked Inko Midoriya now staring at her son.

"Well… this happened." Said the green-haired boy as his arm turned black and got surrounded by back miasma, "My Quirk finally awakened, while I was attacked." He added the last part silently as he hoped his mother would Ignore it.

For a long moment, his mother froze starring at his completely black arm, until she began to shake, as she cried out, "Q-quirk… MY BABY, YOU HAVE A QUIRK.", she hugged him even tighter as Izuku comforted her. He began explaining how it activated while he was attacked by the Sludge Villain.

His mother nodded along, now smiling happily for her son before she added, "Do you know what it exactly does? Maybe we should visit a Quirk Doctor." Offered his Mother.

At that suggestion Izuku froze, 'Shit, I didn't think about that.', he realized, 'I probably don't have any active Quirk genes, since this is the Power of a Devil Fruit not really a Quirk. No Idea how I should explain this.'

His Mother interpreted his shocked expression completely differently, remembering the traumatic event of their last visit to a Quirk Doctor. From her perspective the doctor completely misdiagnosed her Child, causing him many years of hardships. "We don't have to…" she tried to calm him down.

"Yeah, maybe we should just update my official quirk records. No need for a doctor or quirk counselor for now. I feel like I am qualified enough to analyze my own Quirk. After all, I have years of experience now." He explained with a relieved smile, happy that he dodged that bullet.

"That's true." Agreed Inko with a sad smile, "So what does your quirk do?" she asked interested.

"I call my Quirk Darkness. For now, I only discovered two abilities of my Quirk. I can manipulate gravity a bit attracting Objects and People while focusing it in my Hand." He showed as he created a black swirl in the palm of his hand, pulling a shoe towards him. "As for the second ability, I can nullify quirks." He coated his arm in Darkness as he dropped the shoe on the floor and touched his mother, "Try to use your quirk."

His mother's eyes widened as she realized she couldn't use her Quirk to attract the Shoe her son just dropped until his hand no longer touched her. The moment Izukus's hand lost contact with her hand, the Shoe flew into her outstretched hand.

"It only works while I am touching someone." He added in thought about his own quirk.

"I see. That is a useful Quirk for a Hero." She said now worried that her son soon would be in danger, by walking the path of a Hero, "So you are planning to go to U.A.?" she asked with a strained smile.

Izukus's own smile widened at that question, not realizing his mother's worries, "Yes, I always planned to try out for U.A. but now I feel like I have a real chance."

Not wanting to disappoint her son again, because she worried for him, "I believe you can be a Hero. But it will take a lot of hard work! I expect you will train now seriously, I don't want to see you hurt because you didn't prepare yourself properly."

"Yes I plan to spend my free time training and studying for U.A. and getting proper control over my Quirk and its capabilities." Replied Izuku.

"Good." Nodded Inko with a serious expression, "A large part of one's Quirk is your own physical fitness. And I know just the right place you can train at. Do you remember Takoba Municipal Beach Park?"

"The Junkyard close to our home?"

"Exactly, it was once a beautiful Beach for couples. You have enough space and privacy there to safely practice with your Quirk. And by cleaning it you would not only train your body but also do your first heroic deed." Said his mother with a wide smile.

"That's a good idea. The Junk would offer me many different targets and at the same time I can train many different muscle regions by carrying them. And even train my stamina by swimming in the Ocean!" realized Izuku as they headed into the Living room where their Dinner was already waiting for them.

~Next Day at Takoba Municipal Beach Park~

Luckily the Quirk Registration Office in the City Hall was also open on Saturdays. After updating his Quirk Entry he headed for the Beach to check out his new training grounds and start practicing with the Powers of the Yami Yami no Mi.

Once he arrived he vaulted over the railing, landing in the soft sand below with a thud, as it shifted beneath his feet. Public Quirk usage was technically illegal. Similar to slight driving over the speed limit. Illegal by the strictest definition of the law and liable to any damages it may cause, but people usually wouldn't mind as long you didn't cause any problems especially if you use your Quirk in isolated areas. As long he doesn't go out actively hunting villains or something he will be fine.

The Beach with all its heaps of Garbage would keep any prying eyes away from his not-quite-so-legal activities. Once he put down his backpack on a rusted chest, he pulled an unused new notebook out of it that he extra brought with him.

As he flipped the first pages open, he could read the first words he put down yesterday. At the top, it read: Quirk Analysis, Subject: Izuku Midoriya

This sight was enough to make his eyes sting with unshed tears. He rubbed an arm over his eyes and sniffed.

For so long he held onto his dream, and now it was finally becoming reality as he was taking the first steps.

As a start, he'd only done some research yesterday and jotted down some thoughts on his Quirk.

Quirk manifested on the 8th of April 2XXX, after school, during a Villain Incident, at the age of 14.

While under threat, the hands of the subjects got coated by Darkness looking like a black misty miasma. The Villain got pulled to the Subject's hands. Upon contact the Villain who was made up of Sludge turned back into human form, seemingly losing all Quirk capabilities. Did the Villain lose his Quirk Genes? Does it work on other Quirk Categories than the Transformation(?) type? The Sludge Villain was probably a Transformation type, maybe Mutation. Further testing is needed.

Besides how it manifested and what he was able to discover for now. He also noted down some ideas he could explore with his Quirk. Like how far does his Gravity Manipulation go, capabilities of the Darkness, Nullification capabilities, and so on?

Once he put his Notebook down and decided to begin experimenting, he stretched his arm out and aimed at a large rusty fridge lying broken in the sand. As a black spiral formed in the palm of his hand, the Fridge began flying at him. 'Shit, I should have thought that through.' Where his last thoughts before he blacked out as the fridge crashed into him knocking him off his feet and taking him cold out.
