Background: When Izuku was born he died completely for an hour before his heart suddenly restarted scaring the doctor, nurses, and his Mom as she was holding him. After that Izuku seemed to be the healthiest kid around. Never got a cold, healed faster than expected from injuries, and somehow has a natural proficiency at learning other languages. No one knows what his quirk is yet fear his power.

~<Izuku POV>~

I slide downstairs on the banister of my 2 story house. When I got into the kitchen my Mom sighed, "Will you stop sliding down the banister? I have having to rewax it every month." I show her the rag I had, "I coat it in wax every time I come down Mom. Also I haven't broken any bones or had a cut last longer than a couple of minutes." She sighs and gives me breakfast, "Too bad we can't figure out your quirk. I would love to know how it works"

I ate and shrugged before I started heading off to school. "I'll see you later Mom. Hopefully we both have an epic day." She smiled and waved as she gets ready for work. I headed to school and sit at my desk. Everyone was talking about being heros or other quirk related jobs. When class started we did a career aptitude test. Once it was done it was put through a scantron grader.

As we waited for it to finish everyone chatted, read books, and bla bla bla. I just tried to figure out what my quirk is.  After asking the teacher if I can use a language bot to see what languages I can learn today he just waved me to go. In the library I spoke to the machine to see what all I can understand and say to it. After a couple of different languages the librarian walked over.

She was pale and shaking some, "Midoriya, what language are you speaking?" I showed her the ones I tried she shook her head, "For me it just sounded like a voice I heard when I nearly died. A mix of whispers and echos."  I look confused and select a language I know we don't know and brace myself. Can you record it please?" The librarian nods and I speak to the robot in Arabic. The bot says I spoke to it properly. When I hear the recording I shiver as I hear it too. "That is scary. I'm sorry for scaring you." She nods and walks away very quickly.

After that I went up to the classroom and Kacchan noticed how I was acting. "Hey Izuku, what's wrong? You look as pale as a ghost." I sighed and tried to speak only to hear him, "My so called language learning is not me speaking other langages." I noticed everyone else looking pale and scared as I finished talking. After a few seconds I aim it at all but Kacchan, "Sorry, my quirk is triggering randomly."

I notice Kacchan pale and the rest of the class relax. "Yeah it's my quirk. My "speaking" multiple languages is just this odd audio trick thing. I wonder what else is creepy as hell." Kacchan smirked, "I thought up a name for that aspect, Devils Tongue." I shake my head, "Librarian said she heard it when she almost died. Maybe Death Tongue is a better name?" We both agreed and the teacher comes in with the tests. He looks a bit pale, "Midoriya, come to the hall please. Someone pass these out please." He grabbed one sheet and headed back out.

I quickly walked out and he handed me the paper. It was my test and he handed it to me, "Your writing isn't in English, Japanese, or Mandarin. We had everyone look at it including a person unable to read look at it. Even though he was blind he could read it. What did you do to your test?" I shook my head as I saw it morph between different languages as he said it. I then looked at him, "So not only verbal but written is the same way? That is incredible. That aspect of my quirk is amusingly useful. Kacchan and I named it Deaths Tongue since it reminds the librarian of something she heard when she nearly died."

I looked my test over amused as I watched my writings shift between multiple languages. "I need to tell Kacchan about this!" The teacher let me back into the class and I showed Kacchan. He didn't see what I did until I asked him to try to read it in braille. When he felt the bumps but saw the kanji on the page he was stunned. "Wow Deaths Tongue is crazy, even your writings are affected by it. Are your texts as well?" We found out the answer was yes.
