Chapter 5 - The naming…

I am now officially 3 months away from my 4th birthday. Oh yeah I CANNOT wait! Having a superpower is literally the stuff of dreams. Especially for lil old me. I've been teased for 3 years by my seniors now… pricks.

"You doing okay there Takaba?" An older FEMALE (keep it in your pants lil bro) voice came from behind me.

I swivelled my head until I caught the owner of the voice. Ah it's the headmistress of the orphanage. Miss euhhh. Dammit come on naming comprehension. It's no wonder I'm a JJK fan, I cannot remember the names of anyone other than hot males! (No homo but All Might propaganda got to me).

"Yeah I doing fine thanks." I said brightly hoping that I could go back to monologuing in peace.

'Actually maybe that's why they always check up on me. I suppose that I don't do the things that kids my age usually do. Like eating my snot (maybe from time to time) or eating sand from the sandpit (only once and I was curious okay?!).'

'To be honest I think I am pretty antisocial making me not very approachable. Pair that with my forgetfulness…phew. If I was an adult I'd probably think I was unusual too.'

'Wow I'm proving my own point with all this yap.'

I then went and used the toilet without wetting myself.

'Ha ha! Yes! Progress!' I thought…

…'never mind I forgot about the other side'

"Sorry miss I accidentally pooped myself again…"

"AGAIN?!? Oh, sorry for raising my voice but this will be the last time right? You're gonna have to put your big boy pants on now right?" - Staff member no 3

"Sorry." I muttered. "I'll be a big boy and make sure to keep both sides in check…"

'Ahh so embarrassing'.

"Also can you stop coming to be about this? I may be a nurse but it's not my job to help you when you harm your pants like this." She said calmly.

I left without another word.

'My birthday has arrived and so has my gift… took 3 days into my 4th year of living here though.'

"HELLL YEAHH!!" I exclaimed loudly pumping my arms into the air with a huge grin on my face, forgetting I was in a room full of judgmental children who will remember this as long as I live.

"HEY WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!" The chef shouted five feet away from me.

*Gulp*

"Sorry miss it's just that I finally awakened my quirk!" I said happily.

"For real?" - generic chef name

"For real reals." - someone waaayy in over their head.

—The next day—

"We are taking you for your quirk testing now okay Takaba? Are you ready?" The headmistress said leaving the main entrance with my hand in hers, pulling me towards a not very fit for purpose car.

"Is that smoke coming out of the car?" I muttered.

"What was that Takaba?" She inquired.

"UHH IM SO READY!" I shouted.

'Tsk that was too loud… arggghhhh embarrassing'. I thought to myself.

'Is little Takaba finally learning to be more sociable?' Thought the headmistress.

"So then young man, are you happy to test out your new quirk?!" The doctor said to me expectantly. "In these x-rays we can clearly see you have only one joint in your pinky toe which definitely shows your potential for one".

He was of average height, pretty plus sized and had a bald head with a bushy moustache to complement it. Other than that he had a white lab coat, black trousers and even a stethoscope around his neck.

'Wow how stereotypical can you get as a doctor…'

"I see what you mean sir!" I squeaked out in excitement. "My quirk seems to be the ability of something like teleportation!"

"Ooh wow! How rare! How about you go into that practise room with this lady here and demonstrate it!" He said while pointing to the blank room opposite us.

I quickly went in not concerned with the padded cell looking straight out of a mental asylum and looked around. There was a small wooden table with a complimentary chair and a random wooden cube the size of my hand on the floor.

Closing my eyes, I felt for the presence I had detected a day or two ago.

'I already forgot the day I got my quirk..? DAMMIT CONCENTRATE. 'Wait a minute, I haven't even used my photographic memory or my full buff'.

I slapped myself. Hard.

"Oh dear." The doctor reacted without a single drop of enthusiasm.

'Alright lock in. GIMME MY BUFFS BABY'.

A/N: quirk name was made by a guy who was there when this was up for the first time :/ I wonder if he will return…

Also any inconsistencies or mistakes I won't notice so if you do then tell me. I'm using old versions of the drafts so I don't know if this is what the final product was meant to be.
