Gauntlet
Izuku flopped onto his bed, sore from another of Bakugo's beatdowns. He groaned quietly, looking around at his hero merchandise filled room.
He wanted to be a hero. But without a quirk.. without power he was worthless. Ever since he'd read those old marvel comics as a kid he'd wanted to be a hero. He was fascinated by them.
Izuku pulled one of the comics from the shelf. Oh, it was one of his favourites, the Infinity Gauntlet. The heroes didn't win in this issue. The villain, Thanos, only lost because of his ego. He believed nobody could stop him, and didn't take the powerful beings like hulk and Thor seriously enough.
Izuku had always wished he had the infinity gauntlet. The good he could do with absolute control over space, time and reality itself!
There was a flash of green light, and the Infinity Gauntlet appeared on his left arm. It fit him perfectly, and all the Infinity Stones were present.
And Izuku's eyes opened.
The moment the gauntlet appeared on his arm, Izuku could feel Reality around him. He could sense all of Space, and the energy and Power within it. The greenette could tell there were Souls and Minds around him. Izuku could see Time.
Izuku didn't even need to tap into a fraction of the Reality or Mind stone's power. Their passive energy amplified his base abilities and senses tenfold.
"This must be my quirk.. I remember reading this very comic the day of my fourth birthday. I wished for the gauntlet then, just as I did now. An item creating/ summoning quirk? Is that why it took 10 years to manifest the Infinity Gauntlet? I guess a tool of this caliber would take many years to create, even with a quirk like mine.." Izuku mused.
"I read that gaining immense power in a short period of time changes people, makes them arrogant and greedy.. I feel fine though. I just.. have the Infinity Gauntlet now. I'm going to freak out the moment the shock wears off though."
Izuku decided to test his new powers.
*I can feel the fabric of the universe, even touch it.. but I cannot control it, bend it to my will. That will take time, and practice. Many people would kill for the gauntlet.. maybe I should keep it hidden..*
Izuku went to Dagobah beach, hoping to train himself for the upcoming UA exams.
"This will be the perfect place to discover and master my new powers!" He said.
___________________________
The Infinity Gauntlet was impossible to master. It was physically impossible to train every ability the gauntlet had.
There were Infinite possibilities.
On their own the Stones were stupendously powerful. But if you took two and merged their powers into one, you got an earth- obliterating power.
The Time stone and the Power Stone. Both were powerful apart, but together? Anything the Power Stone injured could be affected by the Time Stone's abilities.
If Izuku used the Time, Space, Reality and Mind stones together, he could conceivably alter history as he saw fit.
Izuku was not interested in history however, he only cared about the future, and everyone suffering in it
Izuku's most useful combo ability came with the Soul and Reality stones. He could cancel, awaken and delete quirks however he wanted. He needed to physically touch the target though. But what if he added the Power Stone?Nobody would be able to stand before him. Not even All Might himself!
Izuku thrust his left hand forward, the green Time Stone glowing on his thumb. A green sigil hovered over his palm, and Izuku rotated his arm to the left.
A broken television suddenly became fixed, the shattered glass jumping up back into the screen. The plastic became clean, and untarnished. The power cable snaked out from behind a fridge and reattached itself.
Izuku was presented with a seemingly brand new television.
The greenette laughed. This was going to be fun.
_________________
For all his theorising, Izuku realized he wasn't ready enough for the gauntlet's full power. In the old Avengers film, the most powerful being in the universe, Thanos, had fried himself trying to use the gauntlet.
Izuku could only use one stone at a time, or a weaker combination, like the quirk cancelling ability. Just deleting or blocking a single quirk factor was child's play, even for the weak Izuku.
He would need to train. He needed to bulk up, and slowly accumulate his body to the gauntlet's full power.
He trained the Time stone first, as it was arguably the most powerful. It could bring people back to life, heal recent injuries, and in conjunction with the Reality Stone, it could make a crippled man fighting fit.
Izuku looked for any broken and discarded appliances and fixed them. He rewound the objects to their former state and sold them to be used again. Nobody questioned it, as you could find all kinds of stuff at Dagobah beach.
The second stone he trained was the Reality Stone. It was the other contender for the most powerful Stone when used solo.
"Reality can be.. whatever I want." Izuku muttered, turning a fridge into bubbles that floated away.
He was starting to understand why Thanos had been so arrogant and egotistical in the comics. He'd only tasted two of the stones at about half power. He couldn't even imagine what having all the stones running at 100 percent permanently would feel like.
He wasn't drunk on power, or becoming an egotistical asshole just because he had power. He still remembered what it was like, being weak. Bakugo still bullied him after all, every day.
The greenette was just a little more confident, no longer the meek little quirkless boy that everyone could pick on. He confused most of the bullies, as when he rounded a corner he just.. disappeared. They chalked it up to luck though.
Izuku still had a year until the UA entrance exams. He'd only trained the Time, Reality and Space Stones, but he was already the most powerful being on the planet. Time, Space and all of Reality bended at his whim. He wasn't proficient with the stones, and his body hadn't adjusted to their full power just yet, but he'd been gaining control at a steady pace for each of them.
__________________________
It was 10 months until the entrance exam. Izuku had experienced the Soul Stone's power a month ago, but only to test it out. He was concentrating on the first three for now. It was an incredible experience. It's passive ability let him feel living things around him, their very lifeforce. Actually using the stone let him feel and connect to every soul on Earth, and mould them however he wanted. He hadn't changed anybody however, he'd only tested it on a flock of nearby birds.
He gave one Bakugo Syndrome, or, he copied and pasted Bakugo's personality into the bird. It had proceeded to attack any bird that looked at it sideways.
The Space Stone was by far the simplest to master. Izuku had around 80 percent of its full potential at his fingertips right now. He would have full control over Space itself in time for the entrance exam. He could create portals, just teleport himself, move objects instantaneously through Space, warp the distance between places, make a journey longer or shorter for a person.
Izuku had 60 percent of the Time Stone's full power unlocked. He could alter thing's state to a previous or upcoming one. He could target the specific area he wanted to rewind or fast forward too. Perfect for healing injuries.
The Reality Stone was immensely powerful, even when used by itself. Izuku only had about 55 percent total control. He estimated that when it reached 100 percent he could make a person quirkless with just the Reality Stone alone, and no contact required. At the moment he needed the Soul and Reality Stones working together to achieve that.
Izuku had used the Power Stone on a pile of broken fridges. It was pure, unbridled power in jewel form. There was nothing left, it had probably been atomised. Izuku had broken his arm using the Power Stone at only 30 percent. He fixed it with the Time Stone, but made sure to stick at 20 percent in the future.
The Mind Stone was tricky too. There was no way to train it without using it on a person, so he held off for now.

Izuku was walking home when he was attacked.
A villain made completely of sludge attacked him. Izuku dodged his first attack, and summoned the gauntlet onto his left arm.
Izuku used the Reality Stone to melt the villain. He just pooled on the ground, his eyes swiveling around in fear.
The greenette morphed a pair of stones into bottles, pouring the sludge inside with the Space Stone.
"I am.. late?"
Izuku turned, wide eyed to All Might.
"It was self defence!" He said quickly.
The giant man chuckled, accepting the offered bottles from the boy.
"Thank you young man! This villain was giving me quite a lot of trouble!" The hero laughed boisterously.
Izuku frowned.
"All Might.. are you injured?" He asked.
The hero flinched, his hand moving to his left side.
"H-How did you know that young man?" He asked.
Izuku summoned the gauntlet.
"My quirk lets me.. sense a person's Soul. I can tell that you're in pain. If you would like.. I can heal your injury." Izuku offered.
The hero shook his head sadly.
"It's an old wound, already healed and scarred over. The best healing quirks couldn't help me now." He said.
Izuku frowned.
"How long ago did you get it? As specific as you can please." He asked.
The hero thought for a second.
"Well, I think it's 5 years and.. four months now." He said. "Why?"
Izuku thrust his hand forwards.
"Time and Space. The fabric of Reality itself. The unbridled Power of the cosmos. The Minds and Souls of the living beings within. They all bend before the Infinity Gauntlet's might!"
