Dad Problems

Like Father Like Son

Roughly a week had passed since Hisashi had made his appearance in Inko's and Toshinori's apartment. The two somewhat avoided problems for Izuku's sake while also not letting up on their hero or villain work in hopes to find a way to get the upper hand on the other. Meanwhile, Izuku was able to spend time with both his step and biological father, feeling overjoyed by all the attention. One morning, Izuku started to wake feeling somewhat off. Something inside him felt abnormally hungry. Not in a state of when you wake up and have the desire to eat something because you feel like you're starving or something. This hunger was more a desire for something that he couldn't put his finger on.

"I feel weird." Thinking this was nothing, Izuku began heading to the bathroom to begin a morning routine. He reached for his toothbrush to notice something off with his hand. 'Am I still asleep?' Rubbing his eye, the small boy opened to see strange indents that almost looked like a small perfectly circular black hole in the center of his palms, about as wide as a pencil or chopstick. He panicked a bit to glance at his other hand and notice a strange hole was present on his other palm as well. "AAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

"IZUKU!" Inko charged for the bathroom door practically falling face first hearing her son shout.

"MOMMY! MY HANDS!" He panicked while showing the holes.

"IZUKU! ARE YOU OK!? DID YOU PLAY WITH SOMETHING YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE!?"

"I-I don't know. I woke up and they were here." The small child panicked and was visibly scared. "Am...am I going to be ok?"

"I'll get Hisashi. Maybe he knows something about this." Inko ran to the phone to try and contact her ex-husband to see if he knew anything about strange holes in Izuku's palms being a side effect of his quirk or not. Hisashi decided to come over to help understand the reality of what this was. In the living room Hisashi arrived, warping in through a being of purple and black mist.

"Where's Izuku?"

"In the bathroom. He's on the verge of a panic attack right now." Inko led Hisashi into the small bathroom where Izuku tried to frantically cover the holes with bandaids thinking that they were going to bleed.

"Calm down there bucko. Your mother told me you woke up with 'holes' in your hands?" Izuku nodded visibly in fear. "May I see them?" The small boy slowly opened one of the bandages up to show the hole in the palm of his hand. "You're just overreacting my son. Look at my hands as well." Hisashi held his hand out next to his son's tiny hand revealing the same hole in the center of his hand. "This is our quirk, called All for One. With this, you may take any quirk you want from anyone, except your mother, don't take hers." Hisashi says before adding in he can't take Inko's quirk feeling his ex-wife's gaze from over his shoulder.

"I can take quirks? Then why am I hungry?" Izuku questions getting Hisashi to turn over towards Inko and arch and eyebrow.

"He's been eating voraciously these past few days and is constantly complaining about feeling hungry. He went through half the pantry before his body wouldn't let him eat any more but he still said he was hungry. You know what this is?" She questions, walking over to Izuku and crouching down beside him.

"I don't think you'll like my answer. It's the drawbacks of our quirk that is causing him to be this hungry. He needs to take a quirk and a decently powerful one, if not his own power will eat at him making him irrational and less in control of his power. I think it is high time you found out what your dear old dad does, my boy. Come, let's get you a quirk to eat, I know just the place." Hisashi says before clapping his hands twice, as he does so, the doorway to Izuku's room is transformed into that same purple and black portal. "I'll bring him back in an hour or two, I'm going to bring him to one of my doctors, there's a failed experiment he can take the quirk of and it will help out around the house."
