Prototype from the Support Course, Journey to the USJ.
"Say Ochako." Mina asks, getting the brunette's attention away from putting on her hero costume. "What was it like having your first kiss~" Mina teases, causing Ochako's face to turn a bright red color due to Mina's teasing. "You're gonna have to get him to take responsibility for your first kiss.~"
"M-Mina! I-It was an a-accident! Bakugou t-tried to b-blow us up and D-deku jumped in the way. It's just how we landed!!" Ochako protests, stamping her foot on the ground and squinting her eyes tight due to the embarrassment.
"Ara ara, someone's embarrassed could it be that Ochako has a crush on Midoriya?" Momo's voice chips in, Ochako turns and looks at Momo who has the same sly smirk on her face as Mina does. "I think that a relationship between the two of you would work wonders for your hero career, constantly pushing for each other to get stronger, him your knight in shining armor. It's almost like a fantasy."
"You read too many romance novels, Yaomomo, I'd say play hard to get, test and see if he's interested." Toru suggests after tying her boots on.
"Are you crazy? Midoriya is as dense as a block of lead. Unless you tell him directly to his face he won't know and won't ever guess that you like him. If anything, Ochako, you need to be direct with him." Kyoka shoots down Toru's idea then explains what will most likely work.
"I-I'm n-not gonna c-confess n-now! I-I never even said I had a c-crush on him!" Ochako shouts before covering her face in her hands and activating her quirk on herself causing her to start to float away.
"Whenever you decide to show your feelings that's on you but we need to finish getting ready. Aizawa said he'd leave us if we weren't ready to go in 20 minutes." Momo reminds as the girls cease their conversation with each other and focus on finishing getting dressed in their hero suits.
Meanwhile, At the support course:
Izuku walks down the halls towards the solid steel blast doors of the Support course manufacturing and experimentation department. Aizawa and Present Mic had told him that Power Loader was asking for him specifically and after being informed that All of the UA teaching staff is aware that he is All Might's successor the verdette teen makes his way towards the support course. Curious as to why Power Loader could be asking for him, he mumbles to himself as he walks down the hall getting to the entrance to the support course. Walking up to the black steel door he cordially knocks on the metal before taking a step back. From the other side he can hear the muffled conversation between two people before suddenly the male voice gets louder and more concerned. The slight smell of something burning fills Izuku's nose as he presses his cheek to the cold metal trying to listen in on what is being said.
"Mei don't put too much power into it it's going to-" The male voice is suddenly cut off by a massive explosion ripping the doors off the wall and sending them and Izuku flying. One of the doors flys through the windows and the other careens into the wall becoming embedded from the force of the blast. '-explode. Pehhhh." Power Loader says, covered in soot before coughing up some smoke from the blast.
Recovering from the explosion Izuku checks his surroundings making sure he's alright before the notable heap on his lap gathers his attention. Laying on top of him in a singed, partially incinerated black tank top is a busty woman with large pink dreadlocks in her hair. Her welder's goggles were stained black with soot and are removed as she coughs after doing so. "Ok, so don't use DC current when trying to hook up electronics to a combustion engine. Back to the drawing board with that one then." the excited tone of Mei Hatsume exclaims before noticing that she's seated on top of Izuku. "Oh hello, are you here to be my next test vic- I mean subject?"
"Mei, get off of him, the position you're in on his lap is gonna give people the wrong idea. This is one of the hero course students I asked to come down here to pick up a prototype that I wanted to have tested by All Might." Power Loader scolds as Mei pushes herself off of Izuku's lap and walks back inside leaving the teen in a very confused state.
"Ugh... does that happen to everyone that visits the support course?" Izuku questions as the excavation themed hero helps the successor off the floor.
"No, it just happened when some brazen pink haired students of mine underestimate Stoichiometry!" Power Loader shouts back at Mei who merely just shrugs upon hearing her teacher yell in her general direction before going about trying to salvage what was left of the hydroponics combustion engine she was working on. "Exposed wiring, pure oxygen and hydrogen are quite the mix for a big fireball aren't they?" Power Loader says with a chuckle before motioning for Izuku to follow him inside. "Hatsume, go to the back room and grab the prototype please."
"It's on the vending machine right?"
"No it's- When did we get a vending machine?"
"Since this morning, but I think I know where it is." Hatsume responds before walking off to the back room leaving Izuku and Power Loader alone briefly.
"Since she's not in ear shot, this device I made is a prototype and was made for All Might to reduce the strain on him with his quirk. However seeing as you're the successor and it is paramount that you learn, utilise and master One for All by the time All Might retires from the hero scene, I've made some adjustments. These are the Half Guard, the name is work in progress, but these were designed to let the user use One for All at a higher output than they would normally in the case their body wasn't ready to utilize all 100% on its own yet. It's made of a series of extremely conductive materials and insulators meant to absorb and disperse the backlash from the energy output of the quirk. They look like a set of pressure point bracelets similar to the ones that were designed for your classmate Uraraka Ochako but they're nowhere near as big as hers. They're about the size of two wrist watches. Just put them on and tap your wrists together and they will activate." Power Loader quickly explains as Hatsume returns from the back room holding what appears to be a box for jewellery in her hand. As she returns, the remnants of the engine they were working on bursts into flames.
"Oh boy. I got this." Mei says quickly, grabbing a hose suspended from the ceiling and spraying down the flames. As Mei turns around, Power Loader quickly opens the box and helps Deku place the two bracelets that house the half guard bracers within on his wrists. However unknown to the pro hero and successor, Mei manages to catch a glimpse of Power Loader putting them on Deku's wrists. "Why is he making him wear those? Weren't they for... oh. Oh you sneaky sneaky boy. You're All Might's successor! Maybe if I can perfect the design you'll make me your soul provider of support gear and equipment." Mei thinks to herself as she extinguishes the flames. Once she has finished with the burning engine, Izuku is gone leaving Power Loader and Mei herself in the support lab.
With Izuku
As he walks away from the support course labs, he tightens the twin white bracelets around his wrist to a comfortable level. With the two interfaces facing each other he decides to activate the prototype. Pressing the two screens together on his wrists the bracelets rapidly expand and contract around his forearms and down to his fingers in a blue fishnet appearing mesh. Shortly after the mesh vanishes becoming transparent however he feels the mesh surrounding his arms pressing against him. Luckily the mesh isn't causing his skin to be pushed between the openings of the net like material. Deciding not to chance it, he rolls up his gauntlets back to their positions ending just below his shoulders. He flexes his hands a few times before throwing a few fake punches testing his range of movement with the half guard active.
"These are nice and all but I do need to learn how to use my quirk without having the fallback of a support item. There can and will be a time where I don't have these and what will I do then if I over rely on these?" Izuku mumbles to himself as he meets up with the class and heads towards the exit and out towards the bus.
"Hey, Midobro!" Kirishima notices Izuku approaching from the corner of his eye and calls out to him with a cheerful smile, closely followed by Kaminari. The two hook their arms around his neck and mess with his fluffy hair recklessly.
"Where'd ya run off to, Casanova? Avoiding the little lady that tasted your lips, hmm~?" Mina grins bending over and nearly getting in Izuku's face.
"Quit teasing him Ashido, he was blasted into her by Bakubro." Kirishima shoots down her statement before squeezing himself between them to give Izuku some space from the pink haired woman. "It was an accident, I'm sure neither of them think anything of it. Right Midoriya?"
"W-well uh.." Izuku stammers before Kirishima answers for him.
"Exactly, so let's just get on the bus and head off to our field trip. Aizawa has been staring at us for a good while now anyways." Kirishima motions for them to go onto the bus, pushing a rigid, stiff Deku towards the bus and picking him up under his arm and walking on board.
"Well glad you've decided to finally join us. Take your seats." Aizawa says sarcastically however he shoots Deku a knowing look. This causes Izuku to raise his hand slightly and roll his wrist giving Aizawa a glimpse of a small wrist band that he had been given by Power Loader. Deku gives him a hand signal raising his index finger for a brief moment before clenching his fist creating an O shape with his hand twice.
"100 huh? I hope that you don't gain a dependency on those support items Midoriya. There will be a time where you won't be able to utilize them and need to rely on your body rather than equipment." Aizawa thinks to himself as he starts the engine of the bus and closes the doors. Standing at the front for a brief moment he does a head count making sure all 20 members of his class are on the bus before sitting back in his seat and buckling himself in. "There's been a series of robberies all over town today and Nezu has specifically requested All Might to stay on UA campus and not go to the bank heists. Endeavor and the others can handle it but with all these villain attacks at once something doesn't feel right."
Aizawa tunes out the conversations of his students as he pulls out of the bus loop towards the main road on UA campus. His thoughts on what the villains are planning and of the press infiltration the week prior. As he comes to a stop sign he grabs the large steel coffee cup by his seat and takes a sip trying to calm his nerves but he can't shake a sense of anxiety in the pit of his stomach of what is to come. Hopefully it is merely his imagination, however his expertise as a hero tells him that the several different bank heists in the surrounding area are far too coincidental to be happening all at once. His thoughts are stripped from him as he hears a particular question come up from the back, shifting his attention slightly to what his students are speaking of.
"Midoriya-chan." Asui says in her slightly croaky voice, getting Izuku's attention away from Kirishima and Kaminari. "I have a question, *Kero* about your quirk if you don't mind." She says politely.
"O-Oh um, s-sure Asui." Izuku stammers nervously as he's now talking to a girl once more. From across from him however Uraraka gives Tsu a dirty look when she hears Izuku's response. "Crap. I can't lie! What do I say? What should I tell her? Kacchan is right there behind her too so if I did lie he'd instantly know. What do I do?" He mentally panics though outwardly he doesn't show it.
"Call me Tsu." She corrects him. "Your quirk is a lot like All Mights, I don't want to jump to conclusions about One for All or anything *kero* but is he your dad or something?"
"Uh... what?" Izuku asks absolutely bewildered at her question.
"I'm kind of curious too, Midoriya." Todoroki speaks up for the first time. "Are you All Might's secret love child or something?" Now even Katsuki is confused at this question he turns to Deku with a very confused half mouth open and raised eyebrow stare.
"W-what?! N-n-n-no that's not the case." He stutters, shaking his hands back and forth feverishly. "My dad is a businessman working abroad, he hasn't been home in a long time but he definitely isn't All Might... at least, that I'm aware of but look at me. I have curly green hair, freckles and green eyes. All Might has straight blonde hair, blue eyes and doesn't have freckles. We're not related." He frantically explains.
"Well what about your quirk? It's a lot like All Might's, it even has a similar sound when you and he both use it." She reasons, seeing as this is his opportunity to butt in, Aizawa speaks up from the seat at the front.
"Midoriya's quirk, while similar, isn't One for All." Aizawa shoots down. "The staff knows who has the quirk and it's not a single person on UA campus or in Japan for that matter. Midoriya's quirk is a new class of quirk entirely as he's the first person to ever develop one of its kind. I'm sure Bakugou has yelled it a few times, but until recently Midoriya was quirkless, however that's where they were wrong. His quirk class is a Recycling Emitter quirk, the first of its kind. All the energy that his body has produced and currently produces is stored in a sort of battery allowing him to use it to strengthen his abilities on the level comparable to All Might. However because of how much power that already exists he is limited to a certain amount before it could damage his body. He is a novice when it comes to his quirk and nowhere near the level you all are with yours, however that doesn't mean he isn't powerful. While training after class with myself and All Might, he managed to discharge an attack so strong it split a solid steel beam in two like paper." Aizawa explains the class stops and stares at Izuku for a moment before going back to Aizawa. "He's a nervous wreck since people treated him poorly for being quirkless before it manifested. And if any of you try to do that here, I'll personally expel you from the hero course. I have zero tolerance for quirk based discrimination or discrimination of any kind. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes sir!" The class says in unison after hearing this.
"Good. Now get off the bus, we're here." Aizawa demands as he shoves the gear shifter to park and opens the door allowing the class to get off.
"I ain't buying that shit for a second. The only pubecent quirks out there are sex related ones, besides why the hell would Deku of all people be training with Aizawa and All Might alone. I swear if he's the successor I'm going to murder... That Bastard. He is the successor after all. You can't lie to me Aizawa-sensei." Katsuki grumbles in his thoughts glaring at Aizawa as he passes him and walks off the bus.
"I've known that bastard Far too long to buy that shit. Don't take me for an idiot like the rest of these extras. Deku has One for All..."
