Ch. 2

~Two years later~

Inko Midoriya just finished making Izuku's favorite meal, katsudon, and was currently going to her son's room to tell him.

As she walked up to the closed door of the room, she could see the lights flashing on and off in his room. Curious, she opened up the door and walked in.

What entered her sight was Izuku sitting on his bed, with his eyes closed. Around him, things were moving in some way. The ceiling fan was spinning in reverse, a notebook on his desk had papers being torn out neatly, then folded into various origami creations, and many other things that required varying degrees of skill to do. Flicking the light switch on and off was just another of the easier things he was doing.

Not long after Inko stepped in the room, Izuku carefully put everything back to normal. He could tell she was there, a curious effect of his telekinesis that allowed him to sense his surroundings easily. This ability was quickly dubbed Mind's Eye, and was the main reason he had grasped his telekinesis so quickly.

Inko just sighed in admiration of her son's effort to grow strong enough to be a great hero. Apparently, when she said that she thought that he could become an even greater hero than All Might, he took it to heart.

Inko smiled at her adorable son, and told him, "Katsudon is done."

Izuku beamed at her, and ran to the dining table.

Things were simple. Life was good.

~5 Years Later~

Izuku sat at his computer in his dark room, the screen illuminating his face. He quickly scrolled through pages of words, using the mouse telekinetically, eyes roving the screen for something in particular. He was muttering something under his breath.

He soon found what he was looking for, and thoroughly read and reread the block of text.

It was an entire article focused on how cells work.

He was focusing on this because of a chance encounter just a few days ago. Something that happened while he was walking home from school.

FLASHBACK

Izuku Midoriya strolled along as he took the usual route home. His friend Kacchan would usually be walking home with him right now, but had to stay in school for some reason. Probably detention.

As he passed under a bridge, a small object came into view of his Mind's Eye, something living. He walked over to the shadows, manipulating some light molecules to where the thing was, he saw a dog.

As he wandered closer, he saw that it was lying on it's side and breathing slowly, accompanied by the occasional small whimper.

Worried, he ran to the side of what he could now see was a small dog that he didn't know the breed of. On the side of the puppy that was exposed to air, a brutal gash could be seen. Izuku wanted to help, needed to help, to do whatever he could to keep this dog alive.

He couldn't, though. He didn't know what to do. He knew the dog didn't have much time life. He could feel the decreasing power of it's breath, the lessening amount of air in it's lungs, the worrisome amount of blood contained within it's veins and arteries, not nearly enough considering the fact that it was losing more by the second.

Izuku was freaking out, what could he do. His breathing picked up, mind running at extremely fast paces, but nothing helpful. He was panicking, and now hyperventilating as well. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

He wanted to help. He wanted to help. He wanted to help.Hewantedtohelp. WantedtohelpWantedtohelpWantedtohelpWantedtohelpWantedtohelpWantedtohelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelpHelp…

Izuku, the sniffling mess that he is, still noticed his quirk taking effect. Before his very eyes, the dog's nasty wound sealed shut, and air returned to it's lungs. Besides breathing slightly heavier than normal, and some dried up blood, the dog was good as new. It was as if, instead of having a fatal wound, it ran around and fell in some paint.

Izuku stared in shock, gaping at what had just occurred. Nonetheless, he soon adopted a relieved and ecstatic expression. After all, the dog was better now, thanks to him. He had helped.

END FLASHBACK

It didn't take long until Izuku questioned how he was able to do that. So he started with studying deep into the so called 'building blocks of life' that he learned about in class. It was something he needed to know for school, but nothing that the teacher had elaborated too deeply on.

He figured him healing a living being was probably related to these things that dictate all life. Naturally, he wasn't sure if that was true yet, but the evidence towards this was piling up as he read articles, theses, and even boring old textbooks on the subject.

He also assumed that he subconsciously used his already present knowledge of cells to heal the dog. That is because of the fact that the dog was still slightly weak after the healing, and, presumably, a perfect healing would make the dog fighting fit.

Simply put, his insufficient knowledge resulted in an insufficient healing.

So, over the next few years, he did what would bring in a whole new world of possibilities with his quirk. He acquired more knowledge.
