Chapter 2: The Fateful Encounter

A/N: Huh, a second chapter so soon, am I crazy or just bored?
Also, before we get into it, the picture bellow is what you should think of when thinking of Deku here.

Preferable the one on the far left, this artwork isn't my own.

Izuku was just walking down the street to his home, thinking over the day's events and what to do with that. It was nice of those girls to offer for him to join them for their after school activities. As for the announcement to the class that he would try for UA, it was to be expected given his reputation. The only problem was that he has no real friends at the school, either just known as a punk or a big softie.

"You really can't blame them for giving you that much credit, we are incredibly strong", Wiz said. "Hell yeah, not our fault we're so awesome", BoomStick added with great enthusiasm. Izuku just sighed as he stared at his hand, more specifically, the lethal claws and jagged scales. 'Can you believe it's already been 11 years since I met you guys?', Izuku asked, the two humming.

"Yes, it feels just like yesterday when we first talked to you", Wiz said, "Yeah, and when you nearly shit yourself!", BoomStick laughed. 'Yeah, like I'm suppose to be calm when I suddenly hear voices in my head', Izuku thought with an irate tick mark on his forehead.

Flashback:

"Common mom, computer time!", a 4 year old Izuku said excitedly as he tugged at his mother's shirt sleeve. Inko just smiled as she finished washing the dishes and followed the tall child to his room. While it was shocking to see her child be so tall despite his age, it didn't change the love she had for her son.

In his room, Izuku sat in his chair with an action figure in his hand as he shook in his seat, waiting for his mother to turn on the computer. "I don't understand how you can watch this, I'm still scared to even watch it", Inko said as she clicked the video. "It's awesome, it's a hero's debut!", Izuku said with his arms raised, "Heh, you probably added a couple thousand views alone, enjoy", Inko said as she left.

"It was an old video, but what it showed made me know what I always wanted to be.",

Izuku just nodded as he kept all his attention on the screen, his eyes wide and grin big enough to show off his gigantic canines. On screen was the shaky footage of someone's phone as it centered on different people who were in a leveled city. Everywhere were destroyed building, fire, smoke, and a dozen people looking in shock at the sight before them. "It's only been 10 minutes and he's saved over a hundred people!", a random bystander said in shock.

"In it showed the debut of the greatest hero in the world.",

Izuku was shaking with excitement, his favorite part coming up, a line that had become iconic. "HA HA HA HA!", booming voiced laughed as the camera panned over to a large figure stepping into some now dented metal. Izuku's hair was blasted back in joy as he stared at the screen with the upmost attention, his grin splitting his face.

"Have no fear! Why!?", a cheery voice asked from the crowd as the camera panned up to see a hulking figure with tanned skin and a red, white, and blue spandex suit. His eyes were shadowed with a big pearly smile stayed on his face with golden hair that pointed upwards in two points.

"BECAUSE I AM HERE!!", the voice of the #1 hero in the world, the symbol of peace;

ALL MIGHT!

Even if he's seen this video a countless amount of times, just seeing his favorite hero's debut kept him excited and ready for more! "That was awesome!", Izuku cheered with his arm raised. "When I know what my quirk is, I'm gonna be a great hero, just like him!", he vowed as he stared at his raised action figure.

At the Doctor's Office:

A bald, large glasses wearing, fidgeting Doctor sat in an office chair as he looked at the two in front of him. On the one hand was a middle aged woman was dark, emerald hair, a pink blouse, white skirt, and black shoes. She was the mother of Izuku Midoriya, the child sitting to her right, her name, was Inko. Both mother and son were spurious why the doctor looked so nervous and scared, 'What's with him?', Izuku thought.

"Um, are you alright sir?", Inko asked in worry, the doctor sweating a storm as he sent a scared glance at Izuku.

"U-u-um ma'm, you might wanna s-stay away from him!", the man said, pointing a shaky finger at Izuku. Inko had a surprised look, which also had anger, "What, why?!", she asked as she gave Izuku a hug. "I tell you this for your personal safety, your son is so powerful that he can kill you!", the doctor said in fear. Izuku had a surprised look as his mind was filled with thought of doubt and fear of what he means.

"Explain. NOW!", Inko yelled in a surprised anger, something Izuku has never seen, and frankly scared him. The doctor was scared, by complied as he pulled out a set of papers, showing that it was an X-Ray of someone's skeleton.

"Here is Izuku-kun's skeleton, and from what we gathered, his entire form is gathering unstable atomic energy! Right here, you can see that his bones or strengthening, they're now stronger than steel, and may get stronger. Here, in his throat, an unstable amount of that energy is building up, if he wishes, he can fire off a blast that can level a city block! His muscles are so dense, he may be stronger than a pro with a strength quirk now!

I tell you he is so powerful, you should stay away from him!", the doctor pleaded with Inko shaking and Izuku had conflicted feelings. The mother was greatly scared and confused how her son could get that powerful type of quirk. Her husband can breath fire, while she can move small objects with her mind, a weak form of telepathy. 'If that were the case, Izu should've just had a combination of that, not this!', she thought desperately.

She was worried for her son, but then she looked down at him and froze, seeing the shocked and terrified look on his face. She may be scared, but she was a mother first and foremost, and she won't have her child stand this. Standing up, she grabbed Izuku's hand and headed for the door, "We're leaving", she said sternly. "Ma'm, you don't understand, your son is a MONSTER!!", the doctor shouted to her in fear.

Time froze as that word repeated endlessly in Izuku's young mind, being called dangerous and a monster. Inko, now furious, opened the door and gave the doctor one last glance, "NO HE'S NOT!!", she shouted as they left, the loud slam of the door the last sound the doctor heard.

Later that night:

After the mother-son duo returned home, Izuku retreated to his room without a word despite his mother's protest. It was clear that Izuku was bothered by what that man had said, and Inko vowed she'd have his medical license revoked! Now, it was past nightfall and Izuku still hasn't left his room and Inko didn't know what to do. She didn't know what to say to her son having never experienced that type of insult, so she was lost.

"Oh Kami, what am I gonna do?", Inko asked herself as she stood in front of Izuku's door and held her hands in worry. All she did was listen to the inside of the room as she heard the audio of the video of All Might from inside. Her tears came as she knew that Izuku wanted to be a hero with all his heart, and with that blow, it made him doubt himself.

"Inko, what's wrong?",

The new voice made her jump as she turned around and saw a man slightly taller than herself. He has shaggy black hair, a freckled face, a lean build, blast shirt, black jeans, and a small red vest over his shirt. He had red, fingerless gloves, red boots, and a small red eye mask on his face, giving him a hero look.

This was Hisashi Midoriya, husband to Inko and father to Izuku.

(Best picture I could find of him since no one has any idea of what he looks like.)

"Oh, Hisashi, sorry, you made me jump a little", Inko said as she placed a hand over her rapidly beating heart. "It's alright, but what's wrong, did something happen at the hospital, is there something concerning about Izuku-kun's quirk?", Hisashi asked in worry. Inko looked down, "Well, we found out what his quirk does, but...", she started, until her words became quiet mumbles. "What was that?", Hisashi asked as he stepped closer to his wife, worry covering his words.

Inko couldn't hold it any longer, so she bursted into tears as she latched onto Hisashi's shirt, his arms holding her close. "Inko, what happened?", Hisashi asked quietly as Inko sobbed and hiccuped, but was soon able to tell him.

A few minutes of explaining Izuku's quirk and what the doctor had said, Hisashi looked ready to burst into flames. "HOW DARE HE CALL MY SON A MONSTER?!? I'll have his license, his money, his reputation for calling a child that!", Hisashi ranted. "Hisashi, please calm down or you'll burn the ceiling again", Inko said as she tried to make sure her husband didn't scorch the room again. The man, while still pissed, calmed down and looked at his wife in a face that asked 'What now?'.

"Has he left his room at all?", Hisashi asked, "No, ever since we got home, he hasn't left, eaten or gone to the bathroom", Inko said with a downcast voice. Hisashi nodded as he turned to the door to Izuku's room, "Have you gone in there yet?", he asked. Inko shook her head, "No, I don't know what to say after that, I'm so scared Hisashi", she said in fear.

The man had a plain look as he looked at both his wife and his son's door, contemplating what to do. It took a bit, but then he knew what needed to be done, 'Don't worry Izuku, I'm here to help', he thought in determination. "Inko", the woman looked up to see her husband's stern face, "Wait here, I'll go talk to him", he told her softly. The woman was still sad, but nodded as Hisashi walked over to his son's door, hearing the video as well.

'Huh, he's watching that video again?', he thought to himself as he knocked on the door.

Knock, knock

"Come in..", a broken, young voice said from the other side, breaking the man's heart as he opened the door. The lights were off aside from the light on Izuku's computer, which was blocked by his tall chair. Even if he couldn't see him, Hisashi knew his son was in pain, and right now, he needed help.

"Hey buddy, how're you doing?", Hisashi asked, immediately regretting it, "I'm fine dad, I have a quirk, that's all that matters", Izuku said, his voice broken and bored. 'There's definitely more than that', Hisashi thought as he stepped forward until he was right behind the chair. "Son, do you wanna talk about what happened today?", Hisashi asked, hoping it wasn't too soon to asked that. "...", he didn't get a response, so he looked over the chair to see his son, wishing for the best.

What he saw broke his heart...

Izuku was hunched over with his entire shirt soaking wet as more and more tears poured from his eyes. The young child looked upward to his father, the man seeing his beat red eyes and red cheeks. "Daddy...", Izuku asked, Hisashi barely holding back tears as he looked at his son with tremendous grief. Izuku's small, shaky arm lifted up as he pointed to the end image of All Might on his computer.

"Can I be a hero, even if I'm a monster?",

!!!

Not 2 seconds after he said that, Hisashed picked Izuku up and embraced him, tears peering form his eyes. "No, no you are not a monster Izuku!", Hisashi practically yelled as he held his son for dear life. "But... the doctor?", Izuku started, "That man has no idea what he's talking about, your innocent, nothing close to what he called you!", Hisashi said. Izuku just cried more as he grabbed a handful of his father's jacket and kept holding as if it was gonna fade if he let go.

Father and son stood there with tears coming from their eyes, Hisashi more so since it pained him deeply seeing his son like this. Taking a seat in the rolling chair, Hisashi began rocking back and forth to sooty Izuku's feelings. Izuku just kept crying as he thought over what the doctor said, and what his father said, wondering who's right.

10 minutes of crying and rocking later, Izuku had stopped as he sat on Hisashi's lap, who had a small smile on his face. "Feelin' better Izu?", Hisashi asked, getting a nod in return, "Yeah, I feel better", Izuku said, his throat hurting a little. "That's good, want to eat dinner?", Hisashi asked, knowing his son had skipped the meal, he himself feeling hungry. Izuku nodded, "Alright, let's go, I'm sure your mother is pacing around the door as we speak", Hisashi joked, Izuku laughing.

Sure enough, Inko was pacing outside the door and the minute she saw her husband and child, she hugged them with all her strength and cried rivers. After that, Inko had heated up the dinner she had made and the whole family started to enjoy their meal. While the day was tough and will need a special 'talk' with the doctor, the Midoriya's put it behind them for now. There was already enough drama with the breakdown and the anticipation of seeing Izuku's quirk activate.

With dinner over, Izuku and his parents went to bed, the young child having a peaceful smile on his face.

The next morning:

Zzzzzzzz

Zzzzzzz

Zzzzz-"WAKE UP!!!",

"AHHH!", Izuku shouted as he was suddenly awoken from his sleep by a loud, booming voice. "What the, who's there, who said that!?", Izuku shouted as he frantically looked around his room, finding nothing. "I told you that would scare him", another voice said, this one calmer but more bland, practically bored. "Well I didn't hear you making any effort to wake him", the loud voice from before said back.

"I did, I said 'don't shout'", the second voice said, "Oh, well I didn't hear you", the first one said, sounding both surprised and joking. "Hold on, who are you, show yourselves!", Izuku shouted as he cradled his head, a mild aching happening. "We can't kid", the loud voice said, "Well why not?", Izuku asked, scared if he's going crazy. "You're not going crazy, there's a perfectly good reason for this", the calm voice said to soothe Izuku.

"And what's that?", Izuku asked, "We're voices in your head", the calm voice said, "THAT DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANYTHING!!!", Izuku shouted. "Whoa whoa, easy kid, you're wanna wake up mom and dad", the loud voice said in a nervous manner. "Well how am I suppose to stay calm when I'm hearing voices in my head?", Izuku asked, confused and worried. "You can't, that's why I wanted our introduction to go differently, but BoomStick decided to just wake you up", the calm voice to, a hint of anger heard.

"BoomStick?", Izuku asked, "Yup, that's me, I'm a representation of all your anger and fighting abilities", the loud voice said, now identified as BoomStick. "And I'm Wizard, or Wiz for short, and I'm your collective subconscious of all your intelligence and observation skills", Wiz explained. Izuku was so confused, but felt 'slightly' better at knowing he can at least call them something other than voice 1 and voice 2. "Wait, did you name yourselves, how?", Izuku asked, taking a seat.

"That's... uh, a little harder to explain", Wiz said, sounding uncertain, "For now, let's just say we're new aspects of your quirk, which we'll explain later on", BoomStick said. "Wait, you're both apart of my quirk, what's that mean?", Izuku asked, "We'll explain later, for now, we're here to tell you about what to expect", Wiz said. "What's that?", Izuku asked, "Just know that in the next few days, parts of your body will begin changing to better control your powers", Wiz said. "And not puberty, that's for later", BoomStick joked, making Wiz groan and Izuku tilt his head.

"Will it hurt?", Izuku asked, "No no, not one bit", Wiz said soothingly, "Yup, totally fine", BoomStick added.

Flashback Over:

'Yeah, not one bit my ass', Izuku thought in mild anger, "Hey we said we're sorry, what do you want from us?", BoomStick asked. 'A better warning next time?', Izuku suggested, "We did warn you, and you were prepared for the rest", Wiz defended. 'Oh yeah, like I was totally ready to have two crystals pop out from my shoulders and a gigantic tail from my lower back', Izuku thought sarcastically. "Don't forget the scales, claws, teeth, and horns", BoomStick said, 'Oh yeah, felt like my bones were melting', Izuku thought with a shiver.

"Look, just be glad we came in when we did, or else you could've been in serious trouble", Wiz said. 'From what, my body or my parents?', Izuku asked, generally asking what Wiz meant by that.

Ever since Wiz and BoomStick came into his life, they had greatly helped him with his quirk and better control. The few downsides were the moments he let them control his body, which caused him a lot of trouble back then. But the biggest was how he couldn't tell his parents, no matter how much he begged his inner voices. Even when he did try to tell them, Wiz would take control and make up some lame excuse why he was waisting their time.

"Listen kid, mom and dad are stressed enough as it is, I doubt it would help if you suddenly tell them you've been hearing voices since you were a kid", BoomStick said. 'Which, again, would've been better if I did tell them back then, they could handle my powers, now it's becoming more stressful to keep hidden', Izuku thought. "Don't worry Izuku, we'll tell them, I don't know when, but I promise we will", Wiz said seriously, making Izuku sigh. 'I know, it's just getting hard to do', Izuku thought as he entered a tunnel with his head down.

What he was unaware of was a large, sewage like swamp creature was coming his way, and with dark intentions in mind.

A/N: Sorry, but the Sludge Villain and All Might are the next chapter. I mainly made this one to help explain Wiz and BoomStick's purpose in Izuku's life. If you felt the whole 'keep quiet about them' thing was a bit much, let me know. Either way, I hoped you enjoyed reading this latest chapter.
