Chapter 2 - Rebirth

I could feel my surroundings change. I was still surrounded by darkness, but this time it was soothing, unlike the cold darkness of the void. I felt myself drift off into sleep, a deep sleep.

The next time I woke up I couldn't even tell how long I slept, but I felt very well rested, like I had slept for a very long period of time.

I could feel an actual body this time, yet it did not feel like my own, I had read novels that attempted to describe this feeling, yet I was feeling it and could not put it to words. It felt like I was attempting to control someone else's hands by holding them, I did not have much control over it either, I could probably attribute it to a lack of muscle memory, yet it still felt disconcerting. I would have to fix that as soon as I have the chance.

As I made small movements to test out my infant body, I could feel a suction force pulling me downwards headfirst, as I followed it, realizing it was probably my birth, I started seeing light, but no details and a coldness as my skin reacted to the air. I could feel myself crying yet do nothing to stop it. I felt trapped inside this body, unable to control myself or my emotions, I swore then and there that I would master this body, no, my body to the peak of perfection, both physically and emotionally.

I could feel the rest of my body react to the outside air and the umbilical cord being cut off. I looked at the person holding me and covering me in blankets, I tried to focus my eyes but I felt the surroundings turn red, I could see nothing but red. I quickly realized I was activating my heat vision and looked away from the person holding me, as rays of light left my eyes while I quickly called the heat vision back. In that moment I felt many different emotions, guilt, regret, amazement, but mostly self hatred. I hated myself for nearly harming the person holding me, most likely my mother, who I had felt carry me for months as I slept.

I had sworn to master my body physically and emotionally, yet I had not sworn to master my powers, powers that nearly harmed my, mother?, I could not tell if it was my mother or a nurse at the hospital, yet it was just the same, I had nearly harmed someone who either given birth to me, or helped in my birth. Someone who was not just innocent, but had helped me as well. I swore to master my powers not just to the level of Superman and the other kryptonians like General Zod, I would master my powers to a level beyond them, a peak beyond the peak.

I knew I had picked a world that was peaceful the majority of the time, yet it was a world that still needed heroes, so I will become the greatest hero, beyond all might, Izuku, or anyone else before or after. I would become a legend.

After a few hours? I could not tell the time specifically, I could feel something being placed over my eyes, goggles? My new parents had probably gotten them to stop my heat vision from causing any further issues. I could hear things being said around me yet I could only understand the words of two people who were speaking in English, I could recognize the other language as Japanese yet I could not understand the meaning behind the words, but I did notice that one voice was speaking both languages, probably to translate between them.

"How's our baby Aika? Is Michael alright?"

"He's alright Logan, just needs some rest after using his quirk so early. So, laser eyes, that's a pretty good quirk, you're probably glad he got it from your side now arent you Logan?"

"What, you mean your weak energy attacks? Michael here made energy beams just as strong as a baby, even if it didn't do too much, he's just a baby, his powers will grow."

"You can't just hurt my pride like that Aika, I've never trained my quirk, and inherited quirks are sometimes stronger." Says Logan while laughing.

"Logan, the doctor said that early quirk manifestation is rare but it can happen, similar to the first baby with a quirk glowing gold when he was born, he might show more abilities than his laser eyes though, I cant believe such a beautiful shade of blue eyes is even possible, much less shoot eye beams."

"The color's probably related to his quirk, he's probably going to have to wear these goggles for a while though isn't he?"

"Actually, the doctor said this is a temporary measure, continued use of the goggles might harm his eyesight in the long run, we're going to have to renovate his room to be immune to his laser eyes, and hope he gains control over his quirk quickly."

"So, we're taking them off as soon as we get home tomorrow?"

"Yes Logan, we're going to take pictures of his eyes as soon as we get home, too bad we cant take off his goggles in the hospital."

The now named Michael, understood he was probably in Japan, which meant he would get a chance to go to U.A in the future, he also realized his Father was probably from an English country like America or Britain, while his mother was most likely Japanese, making him half Japanese this life.

The goggles were annoying and he was glad he would be rid of them so soon, he was expecting to be forced to wear them for most of his childhood, he also heard his parents quirk, his laser eyes would probably be written off as his quirk until he manifests his real quick, where he would convince them to write it off as an application of his quirk as well as many of his other kryptonian powers.
