"Let's go Deku!" The joyful tone of which his friend called out to him made his heart pushed even further. The chase was tough, it wasn't getting easier. Falling and tripping a couple of times after his friend. Katsuki, who by far was faster than him.

"H-Hang on!" His breath labored, the curly-haired boy was chasing his friend in a game of Tag. The seconds of leaping over playground equipment and climbing up the monkey bars gave the boy a hard time.

Eventually, his feet couldn't move anymore, which caused his friend to run back.

"Looks like I win!" With a victory smile, she proclaimed. Ruby eyes and sandy blonde hair made her appearance.

"I...guess...so. Kaachan." Deku stopped short in between breaths. The girl had her victory grin dropped into a worried expression.

"Hey, you okay? Sit down." She walks him over to a nearby bench underneath a tree. After a couple of minutes, the boy of the pair had finally rested his racing breathing.

"Thanks." Deku thanked. Sweat fell down to his eyes, squinting and rubbing them off. He opened them to find something wrong with his vision.

With confusion at what he was seeing. It was odd, he could focus on it, but wherever his eyes turned the pop up followed as well. He didn't freak out, instead, it was only curiosity, maybe this was his quirk!

Looking over to his friend, he tried to speak before noticing another pop up next to the girl.

"Kaachan!" Deku exclaimed with excitement. The girl looked over with a curious look on her face.

"I got a quirk!" Those words alone infected Kaachan with the same excitement as Deku.

"Really?! Show me!" She couldn't contain it. Only mere days ago she happens to get her quirk. So one could imagine the pleasure of witnessing a friend getting their special gift.

Deku went on to point next to his head and explain what he was seeing. Words followed by numbers in some sort of box? Kaachan was curious, does it have to with her friend's eyes? Or maybe was he pulling her leg here? The idea of Deku pulling a joke was rich!

"Ask your mom to take you to the doctors just to be sure!" Her suggestion made Deku frown slightly before nodding at the idea.

"Alright! Let's see what quirk you got!" The blonde girl grabbed the boy's hand before taking off to the lad's mother.

Deku noticed the amount of stamina was spent getting from one point of the playground to another. His mother was there talking To Kaachan's parents. Both were seen about ten yards away along with the blonde girl hollering out to her folks. Odd, how did he know what that word meant?

"Mom! Dad! Deku has a quirk!"

All three adults looked with interest and surprise. The second lady, Deku's mother, was the one who asked her son what the quirk was. The boy then went on to explain the words followed by numbers in a box.
