Chapter Text

Not for those in the family. In the purpose of doing the impossible for him, Enji Todoroki, known as Endeavor, wants to create the perfect child. His only reason for the child is to surpass All Might, the Symbol of Peace, which in this era has zero chance.

But he didn't give up. Marrying Rei, for her quirk and by that basically breaking the law against quirk marriage he starts on this path.

He has three children at this point.

Touya, Fuyumi and Natsuo. He is sure that the only one partly perfect child is Touya, seeing that he has a fire type quirk. That's where the abuse began. He forced his firstborn to train every day after he got his quirk, and when his family tried to stop him, the flames changed direction towards them.

He was careful. One permanent burn mark and his career is over. He stopped Rei from escaping too many times, and when she called the police, they didn't care saying she was hallucinating. I mean who would believe a woman over the No. 2 hero?

Until one day, Rei broke the news that she's pregnant again.

~

After that the abuse stopped. He was careful around the mother, his attention fully on the baby that is his. And then the doctor said that she sees 2 embryos instead of one, he started celebrating internally at the double chance to surpass All Might. (Man I would think he has a crush on Yagi with this whole obsession thing going on...)

The months flew by and the date of the twins' birth was rapidly approaching. Rei felt fear. She was worried for both of her sons, and herself. At least they have time to think of something until the childrens birthday.

When the day of the labor came, Rei was struggling for almost a day. This was her hardest birth yet, and at a point she wasn't sure that she would make it. After the labor ended the doctors told her that she can't have any kids in the future. Rei felt panic at those words. What if the children were also 'failed attempts'? She wasn't sure that they would survive that day.

But she couldn't care less about the man right now. She had her sons in her arms, cradling them and humming a lullaby that her mother taught her. She looked at her sons. She decided on the topic of names before and fr confirming, she said: "The dual haired one is Shoto, and the white haired one is Izuku." And then she passed out hugging the twins.

~

The twins were a lively bunch, that was clear. The moment they learned to crawl, the family (minus the hero) was running around the house to find them. They were really smart, and while Shoto seemed to be the stronger, Izuku compensated by being the smartest out of the two of them. As much as you can tell this by looking at a pair of almost 2 year olds.

The family household became livelier. The little ones were demanding all of the attention by running around and screaming when one of their brothers or sister found them. The 3rd birthday came around, and Rei was slowly starting to feel a sort of dread falling in her stomach. She was scared, she started to see Him in her twins. While Izuku only had his fathers eyes, Shoto's half of his face was Him. She was scared, and became more paranoid. The kids didnt knew, but Enji was going around sleeping with other woman, usually raping them if they resisted for a strong spare 'heir', while abusing his own wife. One of his victims was her old friend Inko Midoriya. When she called, the woman was shocked. How could the world ignore the poor women who were raped and abused? The moment they called the police, it denied them any help, and they got a visit from their assaulter to not do anything rash.

And with these events, the boy's fourth birthday came, the ominous future hovering over them along with the expectations of their father.

~

When Izuku woke up one his 4th birthday, his first thing to do was kick Shoto off his bed, because he knew that other way his twin would take literal hours to even wake up.

"Shoto! It's our birthday! We are going to a quirk counselor! WAKE! UP!"-he shouted to his dazed twin, who's eyes opened too fast to be natural hearing the words. They headed to the dining room where everyone was already eating. Surprisingly their father was having breakfast with them, and the atmosphere was quite tense.

"I hope you all know that we will be going to know the twins' quirks today. We have an appointment so there isn't any possibility of being late. Understood?"- said the father.

A chorus of 'Yes father' and 'Understood' was heard as he stood up from the table.

"Good. we will depart in 30 minutes."

At the counselor's office, the twins were fidgeting on the chair when the doctor started to read their results. "Shouto has a quirk called Half-Hot Half-Cold or Hanrei Han'nen, thanks to which he is able to generate ice from the right side of this body, and fire from his left."- Endeavor smirked in victory, he had a creation perfect to fulfill its purpose.-"While Izuku has a mutation in his quirk."- The counselor added. Endeavor's eyes narrowed but told the doctor to continue.

"His quirk is called Ocean, or Kaiyō. I will be honest, this is the most powerful water based quirk I've ever seen. He would make a great hero Sir!"-the doctor spoke, being excited.

"Thank you for your patience doctor, we will leave now." Said the man, dragging the children after him. The doctor looked concerned and thought 'Maybe the rumors about the abuse were true....'.

And with that, the dreadful years of training began for the twins.

Chapter Text

 Fast forward half a year, and the twins were already exhausted from the training they received from Endeavor. They stopped calling him 'Dad' or 'Father' after the counselors office. The man started their training with no attention to their wellbeing and health, he always worked them to exhaustion. Not just physically, but their quirks came near to the overuse of overusing. Shoto got the easier part, seeing that his quirk was similar to Endeavor, but Izuku's quirk didn't came in yet. For this reason the man made him work two times harder than his twin.

     It was a nice sunny day when the incident happened. The twins were training in the quirk-proofed gym of the house alone when their excuse of a father smashed the door in, dragging their oldest sibling, Touya after him.

     He threw him forward while shouting. "YOU HAVE TO TRAIN YOUR QUIRK HARDER, AT THIS RATE YOU WON'T EVEN BECOME A HERO!" This was one of the leading topic of the debates in the house, aside from the twins' training.Their mother tried to talk to his husband, but the man didn't even budge. Touya had a horrible hero to look up to, and that's why the image about them in his head became warped. He thought and believed that all of them were corrupt to the core.

    The reason for this is easy: After the quirk counselor but before the twins' training he called the police and the few heroes to tell them about the abuse. What he didn't know though was that the man fearing that his already bad reputation would worsen bought a few heroes and police officers, so when anyone from the house called their pleas for help would be ignored.This is what happened with the eldest Todoroki too. After many calls and denials he gave up and started to believe in the false image of the hero society of that era.

     So being the stubborn kid he is, he shouted back in the same volume. "WHY WOULD I? WHO SAID I WANTED TO BE A HERO IN THE FIRST PLACE?" Usually, these arguments would end with a beating, but today was the day Touya had enough and snapped. Endeavor's face became a darker and darker shade of red as if he was overheating, his flames became hotter and hotter, and the temperature of the room shot through the roof.

     This was a clear sign to end whatever you wanted to say, or you'll end up with some permanent burns smartly placed on your body. He wasn't stupid enough to leave visible marks of abuse on his 'creations'. Touya didn't care about this and continued. "I WISH I WAS NEVER BORN! OR BETTER WHY DID I HAD TO BE YOUR SON YOU SORRY EXCUSE OF A HERO!" Another thing which shouldn't be used in an argument in Endeavor. Don't bring up how he acts as a hero. The man's anger soared even higher.

     The twins knew this wasn't going to end well. Endeavor shot a ball of fire in the way of his oldest, who jumped away from it in time. He activated his quirk: Cremation. The two colors of fire clashed creating a beautiful, yet deadly dance. Izuku and Shoto went the furthest from the raging flames in the room, because Izuku didn't have any, while only Shoto's left side had fire resistance.

     The battle started to die down, showing the years of training by the adult slowly overpowering the young child. Then an enormous fireball flew towards Touya. He tried to stop it with his flames, but he could only slow it down. The twins watched horrified as the ball of raging flames went closer and closer to their sibling. Shoto's legs were rooted down. He didn't know what to do, the ice part of his quirk wasn't developed enough that it could stop the attack. Izuku felt something weird in him. He never felt this and he tried to pull himself towards it.

    But he was too late. The fireball reached the oldest Todoroki child and with a horrifying scream he collapsed. The twins couldn't go closer to their sibling because the temperature of the flames was scorching. They watched helplessly as their sibling struggled. Rei ran into the room, and hugged the twins, activating her quirk to protect them. Her eyes shone with unshed tears as she shielded their eyes from the sight.

     After a few minutes all that was left was some ash as it swayed gently in the breeze. The media only talked about the incident as a 'Sadly a young child lost control of their quirk' case. Of course they didn't know about what truly happened, that would be the end of the Flame Hero. A gloomy atmosphere appeared over the Todoroki household. No one dared to say anything and their oldest siblings' name wasn't said anymore in that place.

     Somewhere away from that house in an alley, a homeless looking man picked up a white haired unconscious child in his arms, and walked away.

~

     A few weeks later, another milestone came into the family's life. Rei, the mother, was on a call with someone in the kitchen as the twins went in. She said to the phone:" I can't even look at them the same anymore. Their appearances remind me of him stronger day by day..... Shoto's left half and Izuku's eyes.... What if they become like him? I can't do this anymore... I don't know what to do...." She cried to the phone. The twins went closer and asked if everything was alright. She got startled and through her teary eyes she only saw the red hair and azure eyes.

     In the next moment on Shoto's face was the boiling hot water of a tea kettle, while Izuku, bing the one who touched her to check on her, got some freeze burns on his arm and face as she touched and showed him away. The rest of the family came to the kitchen by this scene greeting them. Shoto holding the left side of his face while Izuku collapsed. Rei was still pouring the boiling hot water, trying to get away.

     This was the time when Izuku felt the strange pull again. This time, he didn't hesitate, and by this his quirk awakened. He stopped the pouring hot water, and directed it away until their father stormed to their mother and hit her. This was the last picture that he saw before passing out from the schock, the cold, and the forced quirk awakening.

     Some days later the whole world knew about the incident: 'The Todoroki mother went insane and harmed two of her children, her youngests. She was put in a mental hospital, while the Number 2 hero got full custody of the kids.' The Flame hero was treated as a god by stopping the mother from hurting the twins more. He gave a lot of interviews about the incident, tainting his wife's reputation.

     At the time of one of his interviews, in the twins hospital room the staff panicked. Izuku's quirk came with some physical changes as well. His hair looked like flowing water,and it grew in length. His eyes, as he opened them became more vibrant, and deep as if you were looking down in a trench in the ocean. His skin became paler, and gained a very light blue tint, His ears became pointed and they started to twitch.

     The doctors panicked more when the boys' heart monitor stopped; they tried to find the pulse but nothing was there. As one of the nurses accidentally pulled the IV out of the child's arm with a strong tug, the doctors were shocked to find out that the blood in the young boy became clear water. Imagine their surprise when after some tests they found out that in fact, the whole boy became water put together by that thin skin like thing that covered the boy.
