'Izuku's Personal Quirk Notes:

Part 1: Double.

Double is Jin-san's Quirk. It allows him to duplicate almost anything he has the measurements from. From what I've seen during the last two weeks, he can duplicate people, food, clothes, tools, weapons and some less complicated electronics if he duplicates them part by part to then assemble them.

Tests have shown that food duplicated by Jin-san's Quirk must be cooked slowly and evenly so the heat doesn't overload the food and destroys it. It seems that soups and roasts are the best bet in terms of cooking it, but we haven't tried grilling it yet so we'll have to see. As for taste, it seems that as long as Jin-san remembers how the food is supposed to taste it'll be fine (1).

Clothes seem easy to duplicate and are resistant enough for daily wear, but a couple of tears are enough to completely destroy them. Jin-san has started experimenting with the clothes he duplicates to make them more resistant.

Tools have been shown to be more resistant as long as they are hand tools. It seems Jin-san needs to remember the feeling of the tool's different parts in order to duplicate it completely. Hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches, nuts, bolts and the like have been shown to be easier to duplicate than power tools.

Power tools seem to be more difficult to duplicate as Jin-san has to duplicate them part by part to them assemble them and they wear down more easily. The same can be said for other small electronics, like radios, walkie-talkies, etc.

In terms of weapons Jin-san is able to make knives, chains, tonfas, Bo staves and similar simple weapons. Guns haven't been as successful due to Reborn being difficult (2). Bullets have proven difficult to duplicate. Jin-san has been reading up on gunpowder and what exactly goes into a bullet.

Our endeavors into duplicating money have proven quite… interesting. While bills have been difficult to copy, coins have been a complete success. Due to this Jin-san has been able to buy legit medicine, causing him to be more focused.

Jin-san has taken to carrying around metallic measuring tapes and a small notebook. Reborn has been heard grumbling about 'More note-takers.'

(1) For the love of god, please, don't let Jin-san forget how food is supposed to taste. I don't want another Hotpot Massacre happening.

(2) "I'm not letting you two start a gun factory before I teach you how to wield them."

-OOOOO-

The cold air of the night felt nicely after the warmth left on his skin after a hot June day. Izuku prowled on a rooftop as he followed Bear Man and Trunk, the two dealers who screwed Jin-san over.

It had taken Izuku two weeks to finally track them down. Training during the day with Reborn and Jin-san, resting for the afternoon, and tracking during the night. Ever since meeting Jin-san Reborn insisted on having the Quirk experiments not involving food on the Warehouse. After spending the morning experimenting with Jin-san's Quirk they would do more combat training, this time with Jin-san joining against Izuku.

Turns out, Jin-san is a good fighter if you don't catch him by surprise. Reborn and him would fight against Izuku to get him used to fighting more than one opponent. Lately Reborn was releasing more and more killing intent, Izuku believed it was because he was getting used to the smaller amounts Reborn used to let out.

One day, when Jin-san didn't show up to training, Reborn decided to teach Izuku about the Varia, Sky Attraction, and Harmonization.

-OOOOO-

"The Varia were Vongola's assassination specialists." Reborn sent a knee to Izuku's stomach, which he managed to dodge with a burst of Sky Flames to the side. "They were responsible of taking care of anything that could be a danger to the family."

Izuku dodged a kick to the head. "So kind of like Black Ops?"

"More or less." Reborn grabbed a flame infused punch with his naked hand, pulled on it and head-butted Izuku away. "Now, what have you learned about your Sky Flames?" He charged at the boy.

"Not much." Izuku blocked a sideways kick with his arm. It felt like it was almost broken. "Only that I can use burst of them to move around…" Izuku thrust his hand forward and with a burst of Sky Flames he moved away from Reborn as the hitman was sent back a couple of inches. "And this." Izuku made a finger gun with two fingers as the cannon and pointed at Reborn. His flames moved towards their tips as Izuku smiled. "Vongola Technique: Sky Bullet." And with a twitch from his thumb a small missile made of Sky Flames was shot towards Reborn.

The hitman's eyes widened before he sidestepped the bullet. "Good job." Izuku smiled at that blocking Reborn's fist with his face. "With the addition of Bubaigawara to your training I've decided you are ready to learn about Sky Attraction and the Sky Flame's specialty."

Izuku rubbed his face as he looked at Reborn. "Sky Attraction?"

"A Sky, such as yourself, is constantly on the look for Guardians, that means people with the potential to use Dying Will Flames will feel compelled to approach you. Usually a Sky stops attracting people after they find their Guardians… but it's been shown that a strong Sky will keep attracting potential Guardians even after they've found their main six."

Izuku nodded. "So that means I'll have a bigger than usual family?"

Reborn nodded. "Now, every Dying Will Flame has their own specialty, the Sky's is called Harmonization. It gives the Sky Flames the ability to combine with other flames, be it to create a new kind of Flame or to utilize another's Flame."

Izuku nodded before realizing something. "A Quirked individual can only use Flames after pledging themselves to a Sky because only then the Quirk Factor and the Dying Will Factor can 'Harmonize'."

Reborn nodded. "You figured it out before your father." He smiled and kicked Izuku in the stomach. "Now, let's continue."

-OOOOO-

Ever since that day, any time he focused on his Flames he could… feel things at the edge of his awareness. On one side he could feel the warmth of a sunny day upon his skin. At another he could feel weak jolts of electricity coursing through his body, not strong enough to cause him damage, but strong enough to make him feel energized and… weirdly comforted.

Movement at the edge of his vision brought him out of his reminiscing. Bear Man and Trunk finally finished walking and entered an abandoned house. Izuku quickly sent a text with his location to Reborn and Jin-san. After that he put down his backpack he opened it to take out a plastic All Might festival mask. Putting it on, he pulled up his hoodie and waited.

The plan was to locate Bear Man and Trunk and then wait until they stopped moving around. Then he would text Reborn and Jin-san and wait. After they arrived Reborn would set up a perimeter and himself and Jin-san would go in, get Bear Man and Trunk and interrogate them on the whereabouts of their base. Overall, Izuku thought it was a solid plan, nicely simple for his first raid.

-OOOOO-

"Sup kid/HELLO!" Jin-san saluted when he arrived at the rooftop. He was dressed in a black a grey spandex bodysuit with two red wrist guards. He had a backpack on.

"Hi Twice." Izuku smiled at him. They had decided to use codenames for this just in case. Jin-san was going by Twice and Izuku was going by Usagi. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, let's do this/Fedoraman is already set up." Jin-san nodded and they went down the rooftop and towards the abandoned house.

From what Izuku saw, Bear Man and Trunk hadn't left the house yet so they had to be careful. As they crept closer to the house they could hear a booming laugh coming from a window. Getting closer, Izuku saw Bear Man and Trunk watching some comedy skit on a vintage TV. Looking around the window Izuku found it unlocked. He put his backpack down and grabbed a roll of fireworks. 'God bless festival season.'

Taking Jin-san's lighter from his pocket, he lit the fuse up and opened the window quickly to throw the fireworks in. A moment later the sound of curses and popping graced their ears and Izuku sent Jin-san the signal. He duplicated a hammer on each hand and smashed the window to get in, with Izuku following him quickly.

"Wha' de fyuck du yu-" Bear Man's eloquent question was cut off by Jin-san slamming a hammer on his face. Seeing that was being taken care of Izuku turned to Trunk as he fiddled with a gun.

Going low to the ground, Izuku entered his Hyper Mode and with a quick burst of Flames he sent his shoulder to Trunk's solar plexus, making him gasp and drop his gun. Izuku then sent a Flame infused punch to his ribs, feeling them crack. With a spin, Izuku backhanded the back of his neck, rendering him unconscious.

Izuku turned around and saw Jin-san tying up Bear Man with tape so he started to do the same with Trunk. He took his roll of tape from his backpack and went to work. First he pulled up his pant legs and started taping the legs by their hair, making sure taking it off is as painful as possible. Next he went to work on his hands. Pulling them over his back he made sure they were as tight as possible over his back and then he taped his wrists together. Next he taped Trunk's trunk to his neck. Right as he finished he heard someone stomping over the hallway to their location.

"What's with all the noise?" A man on a trench coat roared as he slammed the door opened. He didn't seem to have eyes, only skin stretching over what would be a normal person's eyes. He only had two nose holes and thick lips with a black snake tongue poking out. His right hand was normal looking but his left hand didn't have fingers, only a set of five small green snakes where fingers would be. The snakes hissed as they focused on Jin-san and Izuku. "Who the fuck are you?"

Thinking quickly Izuku decided to answer while he prepared a Sky Bullet. "Our name… is Varia." He quickly thrusted his hand towards Snake Hand and fired, impacting against his chest and sending him flying through the house's walls.

Sending a signal to Jin-san, both of them went of looking for Snake Hand, which was easy as they had to only follow the destruction.

They found him as he was getting up, with a syringe. "Screw this!" He roared as he injected the syringe on his neck, pumping its liquid into his body. He started laughing as his snakes started growing as his body did the same. His snakes started turning to a dark green color as their tongues turned black, with multiple cobra hoods growing along their spines. Snake Hand's mouth stretched on his face, revealing a set of serrated teeth as his neck elongated. Izuku saw that his right hand's fingers were starting to turn into dark green cobras, much like his left hand's.

"Well fuck/Let's do this!" He heard Jin-san mutter as Snake Hand finishing his laugh.

"AH YES! The Shie Hassaikai always has the good SHIT!" Snake Hand bellowed before charging at Izuku and Jin-san.

-OOOOO-

Yellow slitted eyes shimmered in the darkness. From her viewpoint by a window she looked as that cute boy attacked those drug dealers. She watched as he attacked that guy with snake fingers. She watched with a smile, wondering how he would look covered in red.

-OOOOO-

Shorter chapter this time, didn't really feel in the zone. I've been doing fucking taxes for my dad. Life sucks.

Reviews:

ReadingSoul518: Maybe I'll use some of the lesser used 1-A students, if not as Guardians, as Flame Active Heroes, or just maybe normal students. Aoyama is my spirit animal so I can confirm he'll be Flame Active.

Necrogod: Honestly for pairings I'll just see how the story develops. No real preference. And your Guardian choices are wrong.

Darkpaladin89: Yup, Twice now has a good influence on his life.

MacNCheazy: Twice is literally the character with the most potential in Boku no Hero Academia. It's incredible how underused he is.

Midnight49: Yup, Twice could use a good influence like Izuku, and Izuku could use some street smarts from Twice.

HikariHoshinoAsakura: Thanks for the support. And yeah, the Midoriya family has always seemed very gentle to me.

Karlos1234ify: Thanks!

The Ancient Irish Viking: Thanks for the advice.

Middernacht: I'll continue as long as I can.

Sageofchaos: Hope to write more.

No one has really guessed the Guardians yet. Remember, you have to pick their Flame alongside the character.

See you next time.
