Legacy of The Sky

Chapter 4: The Quirk Awakening

The morning sun filtered through the curtains, casting a soft golden glow across Izuku's room. It was a day that felt different from the start. An electric buzz was in the air, a sense of anticipation that Izuku couldn't quite shake. Today was the day he would finally visit the Quirk Doctor. At five years old, he had watched so many of his classmates develop their Quirks, each one unique and amazing. Now, it was his turn to find out what his Quirk would be-and he couldn't wait to share it with Shirakumo.

His heart raced as he thought about his brother. Shirakumo had been away at U.A. for months now, but today he was coming home for a visit. The plan was simple: they'd surprise him with the news of Izuku's Quirk after the appointment. The thought made Izuku smile so wide his cheeks hurt.

As he sat at the breakfast table, Izuku's mom watched him with a soft, amused smile. "Excited, Izuku?" Izuku nodded eagerly, bouncing in his seat. "Do you think my Quirk will be like Shirakumo's? He's so cool with his cloud powers!" His mom chuckled, ruffling his hair. "I'm sure whatever Quirk you have will be amazing. But remember, it's yours, and that's what makes it special."

Izuku nodded, though he couldn't help but daydream about controlling clouds like Shirakumo. Like his brother, he imagined soaring through the sky on a fluffy white cloud. The thought made him even more eager to find out. Soon, they were on their way to the doctor's office. The streets were bustling with people, and Izuku's mind was a whirlwind of possibilities. His mom held his hand as they walked, sensing his nervous energy.

The waiting room was filled with other children and their parents when they arrived at the clinic. Some were excited, others nervous, but Izuku could barely sit still. After what felt like forever, a nurse called his name, and they were led into an exam room where the Quirk Doctor awaited them. Dr. Ishida was a kind man with gentle eyes and a calming presence. He greeted them warmly, making Izuku feel at ease. "So, Izuku, are you ready to discover your Quirk?"

Izuku nodded eagerly. "Yes!" Dr. Ishida chuckled as he began the examination. He took a few scans, asking Izuku to focus on different sensations and images in his mind. After a few minutes, the doctor's expression changed-his eyes widened in surprise. "Well, Izuku," Dr. Ishida began, "it seems you've got a very unique Quirk. It's similar to your brother's, but... even more versatile."

Izuku's eyes widened with excitement. "Really? What can I do?" Dr. Ishida smiled and handed Izuku a small device that projected a visual representation of his Quirk's abilities. "You can create and control different types of clouds, just like your brother. But you can also shape them into specific forms, control their density, and even teleport through them to places you know well. That's not all-you can also create storm clouds to summon lightning or misty clouds to obscure vision. The possibilities are nearly endless."

Izuku's jaw dropped. He could barely believe what he was hearing. "I can teleport? And make lightning?!" Dr. Ishida nodded, clearly impressed. "Yes, Izuku. You have a powerful Quirk. With the right training, you'll be able to do amazing things." Izuku's mind raced with the possibilities. He couldn't wait to show Shirakumo. He glanced at his mom, who was beaming with pride.

"Shirakumo is going to be so excited," she said, sharing a conspiratorial smile with Izuku. "Let's keep it a surprise until he gets here." The rest of the day was a blur of excitement and anticipation. Izuku couldn't stop thinking about his Quirk, imagining all the incredible things he could do. His mind raced with ideas for new moves, different types of clouds he could create, and how he could use his abilities to help others. He even practiced a little in his room, creating small, fluffy clouds that floated around like playful pets.

Finally, the time came. Shirakumo's train was arriving at the station, and Izuku and his mom hurried to greet him. As they waited on the platform, Izuku's heart pounded with excitement. He could barely stand still, his new Quirk tingling at his fingertips, eager to be revealed. The train pulled in, and soon enough, Shirakumo emerged from the crowd, his familiar smile lighting up his face as he spotted them. He looked older and more confident, but his eyes still held the same warmth and kindness that Izuku adored.

"Hey, little bro!" Shirakumo called out, rushing over to scoop Izuku up in a tight hug. "Missed you!" Izuku grinned, hugging him back just as tightly. "I missed you too, Shirakumo! I have something to show you!" Shirakumo raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh? What is it?" Izuku stepped back, a wide grin spreading across his face. He concentrated for a moment, and then, with a flourish, he created a small, fluffy cloud that hovered between them. It shimmered in the sunlight, soft and gentle, just like Shirakumo's clouds. But then, with a thought, Izuku shaped it into the form of a tiny dragon, its eyes glowing with playful energy.

Shirakumo's eyes widened in shock and amazement. "No way... Is that... your Quirk?" Izuku nodded eagerly. "Yeah! It's like yours, but I can do all sorts of things with it! I can even teleport through the clouds!" For a moment, Shirakumo was speechless. He stared at the cloud-dragon, then at Izuku, a proud and emotional smile tugging at his lips. "Izuku... that's incredible. You've got an amazing Quirk."

Izuku beamed with pride, and their mom watched the scene with teary eyes, her heart full. Shirakumo ruffled Izuku's hair, still marveling at the cloud. "You're going to be an incredible hero one day," Shirakumo said, his voice thick with emotion. "I can't wait to see what you do with your powers." They spent the rest of the day celebrating. Shirakumo treated them to lunch at their favorite restaurant, and they talked excitedly about all the things Izuku could do with his Quirk. Shirakumo shared stories from U.A., and Izuku hung on to every word, imagining himself there one day.

As the evening wore on, they returned home, where they continued the celebration with cake and laughter. The apartment was filled with warmth and joy, the shadows of Shirakumo's absence temporarily banished by the light of their reunion. That night, as Izuku lay in bed, he couldn't stop smiling. His heart was full, and his mind buzzed with dreams of the future. He had a Quirk-a powerful one-and Shirakumo was proud of him. That was all he needed to keep moving forward.
