My Hero Academia Imagines

{Domestic AU} Quirk Manifestation (Iida Tenya)

Iida Tenya:

(Iida Hideyoshi: From Japanese 秀 (hide) meaning "excellent, outstanding" combined with 良 (yoshi) meaning "good, virtuous, respectable")

"Any day now." You pat your son's head.

The two of you were sitting in your living room, your small son sitting on your lap as you watched his father getting interviewed after by a reporter after a big battle that had occurred a few miles away from the city and your home.

"Are you sure?" He asked, kicking his legs back and forth. "Do you think I'll get the engines in my legs like dad?"

You chuckled, knowing how much your son wanted to be the next Ingenium. Hideyoshi loved to talk and watch his father fight, the thrill of being a hero and part of such a big and known heroic family was quite the impact on the small boy.

So of course, the four-year-old boy was very eager for his quirk to emerge and was impatiently asking you every day now when it would happen. You simple chuckled, seeing how excited he was to follow further in his father's footsteps.

"It depends. You could get my quirk." You paused, thinking of all the possible options that Hide could have. "Or both of ours... either in the way Bakugou has or the way Todoroki has. Or you could-"

You shook your head, deciding not to put the doubt of being quirkless into Hideyoshi's head. It was already a low chance, both the Iida family and your own never having a documented case of quirklessness among your family. So, for the moment you would let it be.

"Your quirk isn't good for fighting though! If I'm gonna be a hero I need to be able to fight!" Hide punched the air, his form tight and a bit off.

You placed a hand on his small blue-haired head and your son paused, looking up at you with curious eyes of (eye color). You shook your head, taking his much smaller and softer hands into your own.

"Just because your mother isn't a hero like your father doesn't mean my quirk isn't good and powerful. It's gotten your father and his friends out of jams a few times before. Anyone can be a hero Hideyoshi, but not everyone wants to be."

"Is that why you're a hero agent?"

"Yes. It's much better to help heroes deal with the public and each other for me. Your father loves to save people, but I vastly enjoy helping them make the right calls and slapping their wrists if they make fools of themselves."

"You slap their wrists!?" Your son exclaimed, eyes wide in terror of his calm and sweet mother hitting someone for being naughty.

You laughed again. "It's a metaphor sweetheart. I mostly just scold them for being bad."

"Oh, I get it." Hideyoshi shook his head, already having this father's extra lessons sinking in. Despite being four, he had the reading capability of a twelve-year-old. "What does your quirk do anyway mom?"

You paused, blinking in slight confusion towards this questions. "Have I never told you Hide?"

He shook his head, eyes eagerly staring back in hopefulness. He so desperately wanted to know of your quirk so he could understand what he might be when the time came. You nodded, patting for your boy to come back and take a seat on your lap gain.

Tenya had now left the scene, most likely making his way home now. You had told Hide he could stay up and say goodnight to his father, and lucky for you, Tenya would be home soon and not too late.

"Quick learn." You smiled. "I can master anything within a few hours. That's why I speak 7 languages and have Ph.D.'s in 4 subjects."

"Oh wow! You're so smart, mom!"

"We all still have much to learn. Like patience for yourself, honey."

Hideyoshi pouted, not liking the light scolding for his own eagerness of all things quirks and heroics. You pat his head and the conversation continued on a bit more, asking Hide of school and anything else that crossed the boy's mind.

About 30 minutes later, Iida finally opened the front door. He walked in, helmet in hand and his hero costume dented in some places. He looked rough, but you had seen him look much worse.

"Dad!" Hide jumped from your lap and attached himself to his father's legs. "Welcome home! Welcome home!"

"I'm home Hideyoshi, and looks like you convinced your mother to let you stay up for me, huh?" Iida picked up his boy and held him in one of your arms.

"He's very convincing. Gets that from you, Tenya."

Iida chuckled, kissing your cheek. "I doubt it. You're the one who's always dealing with the city and saving us heroes from debt. So he gets it from you."

Your eyes caught on something and you gasped, making both of your boys look at you in concern. You covered your mouth and pointed to Hide and let out an excited giggle.

"Well, he got those from you!"

Iida glanced towards his son's legs, seeing the first little engines starting to peak out of them. Iida's quirk had manifested in his own son and you could not be prouder.

"Hide! Y-you just got your quirk!"

"I-I did! I-it's your dad! I'm gonna be a hero just like you!"

"Are you kidding me?! You're going to be a much greater hero than I could ever be!"

You watched as the two excitedly compared their quirks and you hummed in content. Hideyoshi loved his father and you were glad the feelings were mutual for your small boy as well.
