This was on a separate post but I think it should have its own (also because I went off-track when I first wrote this)

Remember when Midoriya was trying to wake up a Quirk as a child, trying to pull the couch toward him or breathe fire?

This was him trying to use his parents' Quirks, in the hope he inherited one of theirs.

Inko could pull small objects. Hisashi could breathe fire.

Anyway this is a [Midoriya has AFO] post and [DFO is real]-

Anyway please listen? If his dad was AFO, and passed on that Quirk to little Midoriya, it makes sense that they all considered him Quirkless.

All For One starts as a blank slate. It has no Quirks available, because none were taken yet. And if no Quirks were stolen, nevermind passing through the user to be bestowed to others, then AFO at the base level is the equivalent of being Quirkless.

Midoriya having AFO would leave him as Quirkless. And he never would've known if he had AFO, because he thinks his dad just breathes fire. AFO's existence is just an urban legend to people back then.

Midoriya wouldn't be able to breathe fire if AFO was his dad, because that was never his Quirk.

Even if he did have a fire-breathing Quirk, AFO holds onto random ones like Naval Laser. It could just be one of those gags.

All For One is a quirk that takes. One For All decides to be given.

Midoriya, rather than take, was instead given Quirks, and sees people's goodness. He isn't selfish at his core. He's too optimistic. This is the opposite of AFO, which takes and gives—Midoriya was on the receiving end of being given, by OFA.

If Midoriya had a natural AFO, it makes sense that he's Quirkless. It also makes sense that he can handle multiple Quirks from OFA; because the nature of AFO is being able to wield multiple Quirks in one body.

AFO looks for Quirks that are easy to use, and straightforward. Midoriya ended up with Quirks that he has to strategize and think with, and even Bruce mentions his brain couldn't do all the processing, which is why he froze up.

Midoriya is past the point of Singularity. Yoichi says this when he first tells Ninth "You are not alone". But Midoriya is completely fine.

He only breaks his bones. He doesn't deform and become something the human body warps to be able to contain the Quirks. He got a good deal, when considering what Shigaraki became once.

He has OFA's Quirk Factor, but that Quirk Factor stores up Quirk Factors within itself. We can deduce that from Bruce saying only Danger Sense's Factor was stolen. It's naturally a stockpiling power similar to AFO that Yoichi had forced on him, and at its very base, Bruce called an "unformed dud".

Now, it's more grown from all the strength and Quirks stockpiled. Even if OFA counts as one Quirk, it still holds multiple Factors inside itself, so it might as well be the same as multiple Factors to the body. When Shinomori explained his life shortened because of multiple Quirks, he shows all the users before him, rather than the more-common "One For All is glowing in my hand" or "One For All is a flame" image to show the crystallization of power. Though it could just be to show the individuals adding to the short-life..

In the void, we see OFA vestiges are inside the vault, according to the door's face. On the other side, like when Yoichi was alive, could be AFO.

Midoriya sees the goodness of people. He said Eri's power was gentle, and always affirms that she saved him when she tries putting herself down. He says Shinso's Quirk is amazing, and he'd make a great hero. When seeing Chisaki while fighting Nagant, he just said he'd talk to him later, and promised to fulfill her promise if he was willing to direct his regret toward Eri. Kudo says he should hate Bakugo, but Midoriya looks at the heart, and believes in that.

AFO only sees the Quirk first. He looked at Ragdoll, decided to take the Quirk and didn't care for what happened to her body afterwards. When he looked at Best Jeanist, he applauded his use of his Quirk to save everyone, but then knocked Jeanist down anyway, saying it required too much work, so he didn't need the Quirk.

Midoriya having AFO and OFA would make him an intersection. He's born with AFO, but because he believed he was Quirkless, had grown up being put down, and knows what it's like to be weak. Born with AFO, but seeing the unequal world, and being given OFA because he wanted to save people and be a hero.

Y'know, this sounds a lot like Yoichi. Believed to be Quirkless because his Quirk required someone else, and therefore was unfinished and "non-existent". Even AFO didn't realize it existed because it was so weak.

Midoriya wanted to save people. He has AFO. He's living what AFO could've done [saving others] and embodying Yoichi's belief ["the power to give and take could have been the kindest in the whole world"].

All For One is blank. AFO only had an Ability he could use because he stole his mother's at birth.

Midoriya didn't. His Quirk should've come when he turned five. And he didn't know about AFO. He doesn't even have holes in his palms

If there's no holes in his palms, either his Quirk Factor is elsewhere, or manifests differently in said hands. In which we consider Inko: she can pull small objects toward her

It's possible for Midoriya to have a combination of AFO and Inko's Abilities. He tried pulling objects, but he never tried pulling people or Quirks.

If Midoriya can take Quirks from a distance, and AFO, like OFA, stores Quirks within a single Factor, then Kudo could be saying to let go of One For All so he can make room for All For One's Factor. Midoriya would have the capacity for it.

#stuff i mentioned in a previous post that should be its own post #dfo is like the rat swarm to me #i have the same feelings toward it like the rats #man imagine everyones getting the perfect fusion of quirks #like bakugo and midoriya #and then we have endeavor with four kids and one of them got the wrong combination (touya)#mha #bnha #spoilers #my hero academia #boku no hero academia #afo #all for one #ofa #one for all #dfo #izuku midoriya #yoichi shigaraki #inko midoriya #an earlier post about how the users could be guarding the door of the vault something something #maybe by letting go of ofa then technically AFO gets what he wants #but then the factors are destroyed by the war raging in afo's vestige land #in any case i want more details about the vestiges #like height backstory etc #why is bruce a head taller than kudo? why does en look shorter than midoriya? HOW TALL ARE THEY?

Had an idea for an excuse to have cool fight scenes. The manager, annoyed with Roxy and her security clearance being able to do - in his eyes - whatever the fuck she wants and get away with it, and shuts security down to hopefully strip her of some of her clearance. It doesn't. The manager just straight up removes the security on Sewerhell and hell literally breaks loose.

#all out war against swarms of chipless bots... and asshole animatronics like the old Foxy...#he wants Roxy dead btw. he doesn't care which one he just wants 'em dead.#anyway fun idea I'm rotating in my brain for funsies!#roxy standing on the atrium balcony staring down at everyone completely awestruck #like holy shit it's Chica mark 4!! and that's the special carnival freddy!! and WOAH LOOK IT'S HELPER BONNIE!!!#they're like celebrities to her sdfsfs #Chica 4 specifically is her hero she's a HUGE fan #chica 4 thinks she's adorable. pats her head. completely oblivious to the fact she's on a pedestal...#'roxy wouldnt hurt a fly!' she says while she beats the shit out of her apprentice/best friend in the background and her cupcake watches #bluebell is just. completely unimpressed with this lmao #bluebell is the chica 4's cupcake btw #they're all named Flower and are based on a different flower and chica 4's is bluebell :)#I'm thinking springtime Chica from the carnival could be snowdrop but I'm not sure #daffodil feels more spring to me but hmmm we'll see

“ Somebody studied Shakespear and now it's everybody's problem. ” —🧪Doc fired off shots (both figuratively by insults and literally, with a trusty ray pistol in hand) at the current villain of the week.

“Seriously— where do they get these wackadoodles? At the local community college?— Jesus Christ, I can’t tell who’d be a worse foe: a theater major or those pretentious ASSHOLES in a philosophy 101 course.”

"Shakespeare? Really now?" A skeletal hand delicately rose to the hooded figure's chest in mock offense. Her voice was a parody of a haughty upper class lady's woven together from the harmonious buzzing of a million wings.

"Is that your best reference you have when it comes to-- oh my!" Swarmsinger swayed out of the way of the pistol shots, a couple grazing her bandage-bound shoulders. There's a loud, high-pitched buzz as she stepped right into the trajectory of Pink Four's throwing knives.

"College?-" Pink Four drew out a couple more knives from under her plating. "--more like - post-Halloween clearance."

There's an almost bestial buzzing growl as their foe shambled out of the way altogether. Swarmsinger grabbed the hilt of one of the daggers embedded in her and pulled the blade out. Something dark and fetid spurts out.

"Ew--" Pink blurted out, as if she herself was in any better condition. Okay, she kinda was. At least she wasn't a literal infestation like the being they were fighting right now.

"You..." Swarmsinger pulls out another blade, unflinching. The buzzing within her picks up in pitch. "So you wish to hear me sing so badly..."

#outofthiisworld #[ ic : unit pink four ]#[ featuring : swarmsinger ]#(( sorry this took a while i coulfnt make up my mind who out of my mental rogues gallery i should use this time #so uh yeh yeah..#swarm's one o my characters from city of heroes #shes my babygirl (decomposing)

a little thing we could use some deconstruction of

An interesting little thing in OPM is that none of the characters who can fly use flight as a means of transportation. Need the height for a fight? Absolutely! Need to get somewhere in a great hurry for reasons? Sure. But as a way of getting from A to B? No. Even Tatsumaki prefers to be transported rather than transport herself if a choice is available.

With such a consistent use across so many characters achieving flight in different ways, I feel we’re due a bonus comic on why personal flight is overrated.

#OPM #meta #heroes who can fly include #Tatsumaki #Genos #Drive Knight #Child Emperor #Fubuki #Feather #none of them make it their primary mode of transportation #I could use ONE penning something accurate yet funny #like -- catching a swarm of bugs in the face at 300 mph is no fun #or it's really energy consuming #or: the exposure gets old really fast #or something that sounds deliciously ridiculous at first glance but is actually serious

Everything About Lorule

@ikaishere made some beautiful art of Lorule and so i’ve decided to spill everything i can about them. enjoy <3

> from hcau <

general/pre-hcau stuff:

i said earlier that Lorule’s 19 but i changed my mind!! he’s like 22-23 :)

ravio and her have the weirdest fucking relationship. there’s so many rumors about what’s going on. like they’re roommates. theyre best friends. they’re business owners. they’re married. they pine helplessly. they make out sloppy style. they’re afraid of the other rejecting them. they’ve been dating for years. they insult the hell out of each other. they wax poetics about each other. they’re in a qpr. they’re married for tax benefits. they’re in love romantically. they’re somehow both each other’s sugar daddy.

and then the truth is that Ravio’s very nervously working up the courage to ask them out. meanwhile Lorule thinks they’ve been dating for months. also they’re married for tax benefits.

Lo gives Rav a kiss on the cheek and thinks abt how much she loves his partner. meanwhile Rav’s like “haha. just bros being bros right??? 😃 he couldn’t possibly be into me right???? i have no chance??????” they’re sleeping in the same bed and Lorule’s wrapped around Ravio and he’s still convinced that Lo’s just a really friendly person

Lorule’s incredibly sweet and energetic and goes with the flow of things very well but on the inside the alarm bells are screaming 24/7. there’s so much behind those eyes and it’s called unspeakable anxiety.

she’s originally from Hytopia! he lived there for 14 years, but ran away to Hyrule after his mom died. yeah that’s right not only is this bitch a fucking ginger, they’re also french.

Growing up in Hytopia means that they’re good at sewing, knitting, crocheting, embroidery, macrame, etc.

because of this, she’s got eye strain, minor scoliosis + back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, and joint pain. they stretch and everything pops.

their accent is thick as hell, too. i have a fic that’s half-way written abt it that should be out sooner or later actually !!

before ALBW, she had a huge fear of heights and getting over it was really difficult. once she ended up sobbing while practically paralyzed on a floating, unstable, moving platform that was hundreds of feet above lava, just trying to get herself to jump off of it and onto the next platform below. understanding that they’re brave despite their fears is something he and Ravio are getting through together lmao

he likes marmalade. and birds

they’re simultaneously very very silly and jarringly blunt

they used to not curse much but Ravio’s rotten mouth wore off on them and it’s incredibly funny. once they tripped over a rock and let out the most vile string of curses known to man, only to get up and make direct eye contact with a horrified priest

their sense of humor is a mix of the worst puns in existence and incredibly clever innuendos or sex jokes

music is a crazy important part of Lorulian culture, so he and Rav sing together all the time :) he’s gotten pretty good at it too

speaking of Ravio, he’s got the worlds’ worst New Jersey accent. it’s the Lorulian accent but he’s undeniably got it the worst. overhearing him and Lo talk causes constant whiplash.

not a fan of ghosts or poes

he sleeps like a fucking rock. Gulley has to get creative to actually wake them up in the morning, because if he doesn’t she’s sleeping well past noon

BESTIES with Irene. they shit talk :)

he’s also very good friends with Zelda and Styla, and is in the process of forming a better personal relationship with Hilda

not necessarily the smartest when it comes to the more scholarly things. most of it flies right over his head lmao. Ravio has tried to explain politics to him several times and it’s never worked. however!! she’s very smart when it comes to hands-on things (and counting and measurements—those are essential to most crafts.)

complicated relationship with the concept of beauty. very very complicated relationship.

idolized the hell out of Oracle when they were younger. yes their mind breaks for a good while when they first meet them and realize he’s a total fucking loser jackass.

she’s always doing something. it’s both out of fear of being seen as lazy and out of a need for an outlet for their energy

fantastic depth perception

their map was their mom’s!! it’s crazy fuckin faded but he refuses to buy a new one

unofficially a part of the blacksmith’s family. it’s sort of like an open secret, everyone knows it but no one talks about it

he’s crazy close with Gulley, they hang out all the time. don’t let their constant teasing and playful bickering fool you, they would die for each other. they’re siblings your honor.

the blacksmith’s wife (i’ve named her Giulia) made her her clothes. Giulia might not be the best seamstress, but Lorule full on sobbed when she first put it on. something something, mommy issues and emotional healing, you get it

she does odd jobs and favors around town all the time. her off-days are spent roaming through Kakariko, sewing up holes in a clothes, fixing fences, delivering packages, babysitting, that sort of stuff. everyone in town is very familiar with and fond of him as a result.

hcau stuff:

out of the chain, they’re closest with Ages, Wild, and Oracle.

Ages because they’re both really creative people and Ages feels super comfortable around them because of his prior experiences with Ravio.

also. ok listen. i’ve been pondering adding a sort of tragic romance element to this au bc i am obsessed with the “maybe if things were different, if we were different, if we were in another life, we could’ve been” trope. i’m rlly interested in exploring the quiet acknowledgement that something is there accompanied by the quiet refusal to do anything because they both know that they’ll never see each other again once the journey is over. and idk man Ages and Lorule are kind of perfect for that 👀

regardless of if i pursue that route or not, their character arcs are very closely linked and they deal with and get through a lot of shit together :)

Wild because they’re both genderfluid and Lorule really admired their relationship with fashion. Wild rocks the most atrocious outfits with a confidence that’s an inch away from becoming hubris. also they talk abt magic jewelry and clothes together.

and Oracle because holy shit this hero i’ve idolized all my life is actually a total fucking loser in desperate need of psychiatric assistance i have got to help them. also Lo can sniff out a closeted trans kid from miles away. also also they talk abt magic jewelry and clothes together.

very good at conflict resolution. they’ve done the whole “working together” thing before and they’re damn good at it

because of how close they are with Gulley, they’re very good with the younger heroes. he doesn’t act condescendingly or keep information from them cause Gulley rants about how people do that to him all the time

heavily disagrees with how much Red and Prism sugarcoat things. she’s civil about it but definitely hates how slow they peel the bandaid off

after a big battle he’ll often volunteer for first watch, and stay up for second as well. he makes the excuse of needing to work on repairing tunics, but really it’s his anxiety going fucking apeshit.

they love listening to the others’ musical talents. they’re shit at instruments themself so they just sit there and enjoy the show whenever someone starts playing. and then of course Ages ratted on them being able to sing (Ravio had told him that she could during the war) and they were then promptly dragged into the shows

if it weren’t for Loft and their chronic fatigue Lorule would be the first to start snoozing almost every night

whenever the chain is in Lorule’s Hyrule and near Kakariko village, they’ll have dinner with the blacksmiths + Ravio

Wind, Wild, and Lorule band together to braid everyone’s hair. braid trains are a common thing to see during rests

there’s so much more but i can’t tell bc it spoils stuff so that’s it for now T.T sorry for typos

#i need to make one of these posts for all of them. i need y’all to understand how much i think abt these fellas.#hcau lorule #hcau ravio #bc he’s in here a lot lmao #hcau #hero’s call au #links meet au #ALSO. SORRY THIS TOOK ME SO LONG TO TYPE UP AHDKKDW #school was difficult for a moment there ahjakdka #listen man i got albw recently and it’s made developing lo so much easier. crazy ik #so many damn thoughts abt this guy swarming around in my mind like bees

I wrote a couple chapters of a starcraft and my hero fanfic, enjoy!

What do you mean the swarm is an op quirk

Tags: Graphic Depictions Of Violence, Dehaka/Izsha, Sarah Kerrigan, Yaoyorozu Momo Yaoyorozu, Momo's Parents, Dehaka (StarCraft), Izsha (StarCraft), Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence, Crossover, starcraft elements in mha, changes to how the swarm works as a quirk, Quirk Shenanigans (My Hero Academia), Yaoyorozu Momo is a Good Friend, Ghost (Starcraft) Momo Yaoyorozu, Queen of Blades - Freeform

Summary: Sarah kerrigan in the MHA world, mostly sticking to the Canon storyline, but might change up some events as things go on. Be aware of some OOC on these characters compared to their Canon counterparts and changes to how the zerg swarm functions to fit better with quirks.

Chapter 1 under the cut

Dehaka Kerrigan sits up in bed with his wife Izsha, their daughter Sarah sleeping in her bed in the next room, his phone to his ear as his old friend Toto yaoyorozu suggests a move to Japan. Dehaka is large, standing at 6'7" and a veritable wall of muscle, short gray hair trimmed growing out of his flat top cut into a shaggier style as it grows over chitinous plates along the ridge of his head, his chest glowing a soft amber as his double diaphragm expands for a sigh, his friend rambling on.

His wife Izsha lies nearby, reading on her tablet as she thinks over plans for a weekend trip, skimming Dehaka's low level thoughts for the name of the Gelato place nearby. Her dark brown tentacles mimic a dreadlock style haircut. She tunes back into Dehaka's conversation after a few minutes. Her long spine tail rests on the bed again as she rolls over to look at him, her tablet set on the nightstand nearby.

"Home security? Are you sure you're not just trying to bring me out of retirement?" Dehaka sighed as a barking laugh came across the phone line. Dehaka sighs as he rolls over and looks at his wife Izsha before throwing his cell phone into the center of the bed between them at her raised eyebrow.

"Alright Toto, you're on speaker for Izsha, convince her and we might, might, come to Japan & work for you." Dehaka lays over, resting his head on his arm as Toto starts again.

"It's simple, I'm retiring from weapons & defense contracts with the DoD. And I want my friend who also is retired along with his wife & lovely newborn to come back to Japan with me. I'll still need a security team & I trust you two, plus little Sarah's the same age as Momo, they'd be great friends."

Izsha's eyebrow goes down as he speaks, her thoughts turning to her little one, Sarah just turned three and already her quirk traits are coming in, mutant/emitter quirks like theirs always begin showing signs early. She looks over at her husband, catching his eye and skimming his surface thoughts. He sends over a wave of positive emotion along with feelings of support and the statement. "If you want this, my love."

A soft smile rests on her lips as she replies to Toto. "You've got a deal, but we're going to set up a team to help with the security, you're a billionaire in the states and you're going to set us up with a guest house on the property. I want to make sure Sarah's got room to grow, just like Momo will." There's a hint of playful teasing in her tone, she knows Toto would take care of them and also knows that his wife will hold him to his kids, heavens knows momo's barely talking and she's already wrapped Toto around her finger.

"Great!" He pauses a second and turns away from the phone for a moment. "Ah, that's Momo waking from her nap, We'll hammer out the final details later. Have a good night you two!" He hangs up with a click, cutting off the muffled steps as he rushes from his office.

"Off to Japan then soon huh." Dehaka sighs and looks at his wife, a teasing smile playing on his lips. "Think he'll survive her 'terrible twos'?"

Izsha barks a laugh, breaking her persona as she falls back to the bed. "Thank goodness Sarah's always so tuckered out with her mutations coming in, I think I saw wings poking out of her shoulders."

"We'll just have to see what the setup is like in Japan when we get there, thanks for agreeing dear. I wouldn't force us over there, but if I'm honest I'll be glad to have something to do. They don't tell you how boring retirement is." He sighs and runs his hand along his hair.

Izsha laughs softly at him, patting his arm as she does. "Rest up then big guy, how about we take Sarah out tomorrow to the park, you could invite Toto along with Verity and Momo, I was thinking we hit that Gelato place nearby and the kids can goof off while we hash out those details."

He smiles as they both lay down for bed. "Sounds good dear, I'll text him in the morning. G'night my love."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, after meeting up with the Yaoyorozus, they sit down at a park table to chit-chat while their daughters munch through their scoops of Gelato. Sarah looks over at Momo's bowl of pink-ish Gelato. "Hey Momo, what'd you get? I got Raspberry Cheesecake."

Momo looks up, twisting her spoon in her bowl. "Oh cool! I got black raspberry chocolate chip." She sends a toothy smile over at her new friend, before her brow scrunches up in confusion. "Hey Sarah, what's with those nubs in your hair?"

Sarah lights up as she puts her bowl down, pulling her hair aside so Momo can see them better. "I'm getting m' hair tentacles like momma has, she said it's 'cuz my quirk is going to be similar to mommas and daddies. I'm gonna have mutant and emitter parts to my quirk probably."

Izsha leans over to her daughter. "Sweetie, eat your snack before it all melts, you two can talk quirks in a bit." A soft smile and a light poke in her daughter's shoulder nudges her back into munching on her snack. "You too Momo."

As the kids finish their snacks they run off to go play, letting the adults hash out the final details of their move. Planning out the large estate they'll be using and choosing preliminary candidates for some of the support staff they're planning to bring with them.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Snacks finished, Momo and Sarah make their way over to the playground both climbing up to the top level of the jungle gym before sitting in the shade. Sarah asks. "Momo, do you know what your quirk is gonna be?"

Momo smiles, always excited to talk about quirks. "I'm not sure yet, but momma has a creation quirk lets her turn her stamina into metal bars, as long as she knows the metal. And daddy's quirk rearranges materials as long as he knows what they're made of at the." She paused, thinking of the word for those really really small things. "Atoms! Daddie called them atoms and they make up everything. They're hoping I get a mix of the two, what about you?"

Sarah is bouncing in place as Momo explains. "Those are so cool! Dad's quirk lets him make different creatures based on what he eats & gives him some of his creature-like features. Mom can read minds and send thoughts and can kinda ....nudge people to do what she wants, it apparently doesn't always work, but she also has her cool hair and tail. Oh oh! And check this out!" She spins around and points at her upper back, two little nubs poking up under her shirt. "Mom says I'm growing wings, apparently her sister has wings but she got the tail and I might get both!"

Momo looks at the bumps on her back, her hand resting a few inches above her back. "C-can I touch them?"

Sarah nods lightly. "Yeah, just be gentle, they're pretty tender still, apparently they'll get really tough once they come in fully." Momo's hand slowly lowers and runs along the bumps on Sarah's back. "These are really cool Sarah, you're going to look so cool once they come in."

They talk for a while about recent hero debuts they saw on TV, how they both want to be heroes when they're older and guesses at what their parents are talking about. Sarah thinks it's an amusement park trip while momo thinks it's for a business meeting.

Eventually they get a gentle mental nudge from Izsha to make their way back to the table. "Kids, come on back, we're getting ready to leave." Sarah jumps up from their game and grabs Momo's hand to lightly drag her back to their parents.

Verity pats Toto on the shoulder, grabbing his attention away from the story he's telling Dehaka as their kid's run up to them. "Kids, come sit, we've got something to talk to you about."

Verity let's Toto take over the conversation. A nod from Dehaka and Izsha as he addresses both children. "Kids, we're thinking of moving our family to Japan, I've got a big property there we're going to move into and it'll be good for some of our businesses there, and when you're older UA will be a great school for you to learn at." Izsha pipes in as Sarah's face falls and her thoughts turn towards losing her friend. "Sarah, there's no need to be sad honey, we're going with them. Toto and Verity are going to set us up as his primary security consultants and you and Momo will be sharing tutors."

Sarah lights up at her mom. "Really? Awesome!" She turns to Momo. "We're gonna be the best heroes in Japan! Just like all might!"

A smile rises to Momo's face as well, her excitement shining through as she dives Sarah in a hug. "Yay! We're gonna be the best heroes ever!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The move to Japan went quickly and before they knew it they were settling into their new homes on the grand Yaoyorozu estate, the Kerrigan family settling into their home on the grounds, a spacious 4 bed 3 bath with a reinforced garage area that had been converted to a quirk training gym for Sarah, a guest bedroom set up for nights when Momo might want to stay over when she's older, and a spacious kitchen for Dehaka, with a spacious bath area for Izsha and a hot tub set up like an onsen spring.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following April brings Sarah to her 4th birthday, and as her quirk has finished coming in with her mutations finishing their growth. She now sports a full head of dark brown tentacle-esque hair, bone wings sprouting from her upper back and a tail extending from her lower back, her torso, and limbs are covered in a layer of chitinous plating.

With a fun celebration with Momo and her family, a massive cake, and promising Momo to show off her quirk once it's fully manifested to Momo, Sarah gets ready for bed as everyone heads home for the night.

The next morning Sarah wakes up to a weight in her bed as she looks over to see a large dog….bug creature in her bed. She doesn't feel any hostility coming from it but was still shocked by its appearance in her bed and screamed. And it screamed as she accidentally pushed waves of fear into it. Loud thumping echoes down the hall for a moment until her door is slammed open with her parents rushing inside the room. "Sarah, what's going on?!"

Sarah leaps out of bed and dives behind her dad as they turn to the large dog-bug. A few seconds goes by before Dehaka bursts out laughing, Izsha stifling giggles as she bends down to Sarah's height. "Honey, it looks like this is your quirk. Your father has a similar creature like this that he calls a swarmling. But yours looks a bit different than his, so it might be a different type of creature." She goes to give it's surface level thoughts a listen as her husband calms down and scoops up his daughter in a hug.

"Look Sarah, it's got wings like you do, it's so adorable. Babies first Ling, awww." As he coos over his daughter and her quirk his wife softly pats his arm, grabbing both his and Sarah's attention. "Hey honey, try telling it to do something with your mind. Like… 'go to the kitchen.' Try thinking that and 'pushing' the thought to your creature."

Sarah nods. "Okay momma." She pushes that thought towards her creature, scrunching her face up in concentration before she feels the thought 'click' into place, and opens her eyes at her dad's gasp to see her creature hop off her bed and start making its way out of the room. "It did it! Wow! Momma, Daddy look!"

They both beam at their daughter, Dehaka's booming laugh returning as he raises his daughter up. "Sweetie this is fantastic! You got a combination of both of our quirks! We can look into this later today when we call in the estate's quirk doctor. Why don't we go to the kitchen and I'll get started on breakfast for us and you can start thinking of names for your creature."

As Izsha grabs the phone to call the quirk doctor and Dehaka gets started on a pan of scrambled eggs, Sarah makes her way to the kitchen nook where she sent her creature to she starts brainstorming ideas for names. "Hey Dad, why did you call yours swarmlings?" Dehaka swirls the eggs as he mulls over her question before responding.

"When I first summoned them, I ended up with like 6 of them really quick, and they were all small like baby ducks, and my cousin who was staying with us at the time had this fascination with this old tabletop game that had minions called hirelings, and my mom said they were swarming her since they were all nibbling at her ankles. I was young and couldn't stop laughing at the idea of a big pack of them swarming villains, eventually my mom convinced me to combine the name swarm and the suffix for those hired minions, so my swarmlings were born!" He gestures wildly with the spatula as he scrambles the eggs up for everyone, sprinkling some salt and pepper in the pan, mulling over ideas for his daughter's creature. "Say, what about looking through your dinosaur book for ideas, I did the same for some of my other creatures when I was younger, that's kinda how I got the idea for my roaches."

"Oh! Great idea dad, let me go get it!" She runs off to her room and grabs her book off the shelf, flipping quickly through the picture books pages before finding one that she think fits as her creature comes running back into the room and jumps onto her bed. As she commands it to stay put and lay down, she goes back to the kitchen to inform her dad of her idea. "How does Raptorling sound? It's like these raptors in the book with how it jumps and I can keep the Ling part of the name like yours."

Dehaka's heart almost cannot take how much he loves his daughter in this moment, quickly taking the eggs off the heat and shutting off the burner he scoops Sarah up again in a big hug. "I love you dear, that's such a great name." Izsha puts the phone down, joining the family hug as she pats her daughter's head softly. "We're raising such a good girl." They let the hug go on a few moments longer before Dehaka breaks them up, setting Sarah down at the kitchen nook table. "We should eat before the eggs get cold, I'll set a small bowl aside for your raptorling and we'll wait on the doc to come see what else is going on with your quirk, sound good?"

Sarah nods and grabs her chopsticks, intent on getting some practice using them during breakfast, even if it's a more American breakfast.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few hours later and the quirk doctor comes in, a young man with spiked dark brown hair, yellow tinted blue light blocking glasses and a Hawaiian shirt under his lab coat, Dr Egon Stetman

Izsha greets him at the door and invites him into the gym for the exam since it gives Sarah space to work with her quirk. "This way Egon, it's good to see you again, how's your mechanical engineering degree coming along?"

"Well ma'am, I'm slated to finish my masters this year." He sets down his briefcase as Dehaka leads Sarah into the gym. "You must be the young Ms. Kerrigan, it's nice to meet you, my name is Egon and I'll be running a few examinations for you today so we can classify your quirk together."

Sarah twiddle her fingers before reaching out to shake his hand. "Hello Mr. Egon, it's nice to meet you, thank you for helping with my quirk today."

"Absolutely, I will say your family has some of the most complex mutation emitter quirks I've ever seen, and I'm excited to help you figure yours out."

They run through several tests including wing and tail flexibility and range of motion, as well as figuring out the trigger to summon more creatures with Dehaka's help. After Sarah summons a second Raptorling she notes some fatigue to Egon and then brings her first Raptorling into the gym so they can figure out the extent of her control. About two hours of different tests later and Egon claps his hands and asks Sarah to sit down on the nearby Bench press so he can compile the Data together.

"Well Mr and Mrs Kerrigan, Sarah, it looks like your quirk is extremely impressive. So far it looks like your quirk is a great mix of both of your parents. You can summon and control units that can evolve based on what you eat and summoning new creatures will make you hungry since it will use up your lipid stores similar to the young Miss. Yaoyorozu. It also looks like you might get your mom's telepathic communication in nearby areas, but you won't be able to make mental suggestions like your mom can and you're limited to only controlling your summoned creatures and talking with people."

"Oh wow! That's so cool! Me and Momo are gonna be the best heroes, and we'll have our own sidekicks from my quirk. I'm gonna have to try so many different foods to make new creatures!" She turns to Dehaka. "Dad, can I borrow your creature journal later?" He smiles at her softly as he directs her attention back to Egon. "Honey, maybe later, do you have any other questions for the Doctor?"

Sarah blushes as she looks back at the Doctor. "I think I only have one. Do you know how many creatures I can control?"

"Based on how many your Dad here could control at your age, you can probably get around three right now, but I would expect that to be around ten by the time you reach the age to go to UA, and maybe up to twenty by the time you're a fully licensed hero." He double checks his notes. "Oh, and don't worry if your creatures die, they'll be stored as part of your quirk to be resummoned later and their.. uh, corpse, will dissolve into dust after a few minutes." He quickly shuffles his papers back into order and pulls his pen back out. "Last order of business for your quirk, what do you want to call it?"

Her brow scrunches as she thinks over her options, after a few moments she says. "I wanna call it Swarm Control, since I can create my creatures and control them, but also because it hides the benefits from my mutations and what my creatures can do. Heroes don't always need to say everything their quirk does, like Endeavor's hellflame or all might's quirk, we don't even know what it's called!"

Egon writes down her answer. "That's a smart way of thinking about that little lady, you're going to be a great hero some day."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few weeks later at dinner finds Sarah trying out a bunch of different foods as her Dad explains what some of the creatures he uses come from in a meal, like how he made the roaches by eating avocados and oranges, since they spit an acidic slime and are tough like an avocado pit.

"Now Sarah, do keep in mind these are my quirks creatures so yours may have different summoning characteristics." He chuckles softly. "Though your 'lings might still have the lemon juice allergy."

Sarah looks puzzled for a moment before accepting it and chewing on the bite of steak on her plate. "How do you know what food makes what creature?"

"Try thinking about summoning another creature, but don't push too hard on the thought with your quirk, rest just before you summon it."

Her brow furrows as she focuses. "Okay, I think I've got it."

"Good, now try thinking of your raptorling but don't summon it yet, you might feel something like a web, try drawing your thoughts through the web and pull them into shape."

As she mentally digs through the web of different creatures and essences, a sickly green and yellow web spins together in her palms, a small spined worm twitching in the ball of essence as she manipulates the web. Slowly it takes shape into a longer worm, two sets of wings growing from its back as she finishes adjusting the essences. Her brow furrows tighter as she concentrates. "I can't summon this one yet, it feels heavy.

“That would be you hitting your maximum creatures, I felt the same way when I was younger. Don't push past that for now, but you’ll be able to stress that later and increase the number of creatures you can summon.”

Sarah nods, before making a quick scribble in her notebook with her dad's help. "I have one last idea I want to try before we're done for the night dad." She furrows her brow in concentration again while mumbling her idea to her father. "What about making a smaller creature that can turn into other creatures?"

Dehaka's eyes go wide as she says this, years of creature combinations on missions and experiences with his quirk dwarfed by this idea of his daughter's. "Honey you're a little genius!" He whispers so that he doesn't break her concentration.

Sarah fiddles with different strands and essences as she slowly shapes the creature, it feels impossibly light on her supply, almost like it's not even there at all but with boundless room to grow and change. "I…I think I've got it." She summons two of them and hands one to her father.

Accepting the large worm with both hands, he inspects it and finds its about half a meter long with hard carapace and two small pincers on the front and three sections as it wiggles around in his grasp. "It's cute, what are you going to call it?"

"I'm thinking larva, since that's what other stuff comes from right?"

"That's a great name hon, why don't we stop here for the night and we can pick this up tomorrow?"

Sarah nods, exhausted as her shoulders slump. "Sure dad, I'll go do my teeth and then I'm heading to bed, thanks for testing this with me!"

Dehaka smiles at his daughter's retreating form. "Love you Sarah, sleep well!"

Sarah throws a hand over her shoulder and waves. "Love you too Dad." She shouts toward the living room where Izsha is reading a book on the couch. "Love you good night mom!" And makes her way to her bathroom and off to bed.
