All Might's Provisional Internship
After leaving the training ground and heading towards the main office of UA, Izuku starts to use the float quirk once again to get used to the ability. To say All Might was surprised when Izuku levitated his way into the former pro's office was an understatement. He had to grab Izuku by the shoulders and place him on the ground to avoid having both flashbacks and a heart attack. Izuku apologizes for the scare and takes his normal seat across from All Might on the couch that he has in the office. From the outside, Sero comments on the fact that Izuku looks like he's being scolded by his father.
"Todoroki said to come to see you that you have a plan for my make-up license exam." Izuku asks All Might while he pours two cups of tea before taking a seat on the couch opposite Izuku.
"I'm sure you know my former sidekick Sir Nighteye, yes? I had gotten in contact with him about an internship you can do to replace the make up exam that Todoroki and Bakugou are going through." All Might explains.
"Kacchan failed the license exam?" Izuku asks in surprise.
"He was quite unhappy about it too. Anyways, I asked nighteye if you could do an internship with him during the break between semesters. From mid July to August you will be working for Sir Nighteye he will decide if you get your provisional license. He knows of One for All and All for One and trust me he wasn't too happy when he found out my successor was the son of my nemesis. Granted, Neither you or me even knew that but he went on a tirade about how stupid it was for me to choose the son of All for One." All Might says before sighing and taking a sip from his tea.
"That's... very shallow of him." Izuku responds.
"He's a bit... Nihilistic thinking that the worst possible scenario is always the case so his visions tend to be skewed like that. He even tried to read my future if I didn't choose Mirio as my successor, I'm sure he will try to read yours too.You'll be working with Nighteye in two weeks so you have time to figure out how the quirks work but not enough to become an expert at is."
"Great." Izuku says sarcastically before being smacked by a rolled up magazine.
"Get on his good side as soon as possible, make him laugh, that's the easiest way for him to open up to people. He's a stiff but likes Dad-jokes and puns."
"I'm definitely not the right person for this. My father skipped out when I was 5 and never told any of those jokes. You're the closest person I've had to a father in a long time and you're super serious too." Izuku explains hanging his head down dejectedly.
"Hey don't be like that Young Midoriya, I'm sure things will turn out... All Might." He says flexing his muscle form for the delivery of the joke.
"... Pfft! Hahahaha!" Izuku starts laughing at such a bad pun but in his defense he's basically never had a Dad or even heard dad jokes so to him it's the best joke anyone has told him that doesn't have himself as the punchline.
"I'll teach you all the jokes I know, young Midoriya, so don't worry about the internship. But that pun was pretty bad wasn't it" All Might says before he starts laughing as well.
After the horrible stand-up impression from All Might, Izuku makes his way back to the training field to see if he can figure out how to go about using the quirks he took from the Nomu. For the next several hours he goes through anything he can think of to activate the mobility type quirks he took from the Nomu. For the Shoulder Mounted Jets he took from Hood. He eventually figured out how to use it but as for anything above 3-mph that's going to take awhile, not to mention he doesn't know how to steer himself. Another quirk he discovered was a duplication quirk that one of the developing high end had. Dr Garaki had spoken of a quirk that lets the Nomu duplicate other nomu and people. He was glad that he managed to steal that quirk but it's weird to stare back at your own reflection who seems to have a mind of its own. Most of the class has gathered around to watch Deku teach himself how to use the other quirks.
"Deku-kun do you want me to help you learn how to float?" Ochako asks the frustrated and upside down Izukus who have their arms crossed and an annoyed look on their faces.
"Yes." They reply in unison and grimacing hearing the uproarious laughter from the class, especially Bakugou.
"Here, let me fix you first." She says, grabbing Izuku's sides and returning him to the upright position. "There, I'm going to show you how to float in one place, change your speed and direction as well as descend ok? Can you bring out those shoulder jets again?" Ochako asks before touching her semi-red cheek and beginning to float.
"Alright... let's try this again." Izuku says activating the shoulder jet quirk and immediately losing control of it. He's sent straight up into the sky leaving a smoke train as he flies away.
"Wow... that was not even 3 seconds this is gonna be more work than I thought." Ochako says to herself before she starts to chuckle as well.
Two Weeks Later:
Two weeks flew by like nothing for most of the class of UA's 1-A hero course but for Izuku it was extremely long. All that time was spent combing through all his quirks trying to get a sense of how they work. Some of the emitters were easier to use than others, his transformation based quirks were harder to use however. He trained almost daily with Ochako and Nejire learning how to float in place and fly about. He had gotten quite used to the laser quirk he took from the failed Nomu and the augmentation quirks he took from Hood. He was nervous about meeting with Nighteye, how would he react about Izuku's quirk. The students around UA seem to be none the wiser about what quirk he holds but the whispers were echoing through the halls and Izuku knew it was a matter of time till they all knew. As he walks down the halls of Nighteye's agency he hears the laughs of a woman complaining that she might pee from laughing too hard. As he enters the room with the laughing woman he is met with a tall lanky fellow with yellow and green hair.
"You need to learn to have a sense of humor. Life is meaningless without laughter." Nighteye says to a woman with blue skin and an under-boob cut crop top being tortured by a feather tickler.
"Um... Is this a bad time or..." Izuku asks, looking at the scene before him in utter shock.
"No no it's not, You are Midoriya Izuku or Shigaraki Yamikumo? Yes? Come with me. I wish to speak with you in my office. You're free to go Bubblegirl, I suggest you change pants though." He says pushing up his glasses and motioning for Izuku to follow him to his office.
"Midoriya Izuku, I don't want anyone calling me by my father's surname." Izuku says trying to alleviate the tension as Nighteye pours himself a cup of tea and, offering Izuku some as well.
"I think Shimura Izuku would work then since you are the second grandson of All Might's master. Here in front of me is the man of several names and of many quirks. Tell me did you have any idea who your father was?" Nighteye asks, stirring a single sugar cube into his tea. "Careful sipping it, don't want it going down the wrong pipe." He warns before Izuku takes a sip.
"My father from what I remember was a businessman, he sold insurance to people in cities with large crime rates and very powerful heroes. His name to my mom was Hisashi Midoriya, Nezu said that name was an allious so I guess the last name means nothing now. My mother met him at a coffee shop shortly after she graduated from the general studies course at UA. She said he was able to breathe fire but had a sixth sense for things about to happen like my mother almost dropping a glass cup as an example. He disappeared when I was five and that was after I met a kid he called my brother named Tomura." Izuku explains before taking a sip of the tea. "Do you have green tea or chai maybe?"
"Actually yes, but I half thought you'd like that tea, it was the brand they found at the raid on the league headquarters. Imperial Golden Tips, your father's preferred brand. All Might wants me to test you to get your provisional exam, that was the first test to see if you are anything like your father. You passed but I can't fault you for existing now can I?" Nighteye says getting up from his chair and walking about the room admiring his collection of All Might merchandise.
"Wouldn't be the first if you did, I grew up quirkless after my father left. Everyone ridiculed me for existing." Izuku says slightly shrinking in his seat, Nighteye walks back to the desk and presses a button making a slot open on the desk. Out pops a new tea cup and plate with a pot of chai tea now brewing on the hotplate beside it.
"Do you feel anger towards them? Hatred for the years of bullying? Do you want them to feel the same way you did?" He presses on stirring in creamer and sugar.
"No. I only regret that they couldn't get past the fact that I didn't have a quirk. It wasn't leeway for them to start bullying me but that's what they did. I wanted it all to just stop, I would have given anything and everything up to have a quirk. Then I met All Might, at first he said that I couldn't be a hero but I showed him that I had the drive to become one when I tried to save my former... friend Kacchan. He was the worst of the bullies and even now he tries to bully me. I just want everything to go back to the way it used to, when we were friends." Izuku says in a saddened voice before Nighteye sighs deeply and pours him the new tea.
"You and All Might are one in the same you know, Toshinori attempted suicide at the age of 14, he was bullied for merely existing. Nana saved him that day, he was standing atop Tokyo tower and lept off. She caught him and he told her everything, how his parents disowned him, how he'd spent 10 years bouncing between abusive foster homes and that he couldn't take it anymore. She asked what he truly wanted to be if things were different and he said he wanted to be a hero. She offered him her power and the rest is history. You were on that same edge too weren't you only one person in your corner your whole life. To think All for One would put his own flesh and blood through that isn't surprising but sickens me." Nighteye says before pausing and pressing his fingers together. "Son, I'm going to look into your future. Do you wish to know everything? Your Destiny, Your relationships? Your fate?" Nighteye asks getting no response from Izuku. "My visions only see one future, every decision you make changes that outcome but the outcomes I can see are most likely to happen but I can manipulate them. I am going to read the futures starting from this next decision." He says pulling out a laminated provisional hero license with a blank place for the picture. "The future where you get this, and the one where you don't. Do you wish to know these timelines?" He asks, flipping the license between his fingers in wait.
"Yes."
"Excellent. Now." He says taking off his glasses and opening his eyes to reveal that they had changed to be a black color with purple irises and pupils. "Let's see what lies in store for you. Shimura Izuku."
