"Daddy!" excitedly shouted a little girl as she jumped up and gave a man with hair a hug.

The little girl was Lena, she was currently 4 years old and lived with her father, Lena had short hair and brown eyes and was a little taller than most children her age. Her father had just left shopping and she had been waiting for him on the couch ever since, once she saw him she pounced on her father and gave him a big hug.

"Wow, careful Lena I don't want to break these things" Said a surprised Winston as he kept his balance between the bag with some electronic stuff inside and her darling daughter.

"Hehehehe" Laughed Lena as she saw the situation her father was in, deciding to stay a few more moments just to annoy him a little bit, although in truth Winston didn't care much....

After Lena finished her hug Winston went to leave the bag on the table where you could see some cables, mother boards, among other electronic things....

"Daddy what are these things for?" Lena asked curious of the electronics.

"They are for an experiment of your father... also to finish putting the pc together" Replied her father lifting Lena up and placing her on his shoulders.

"Hehehehehehe!" Laughed Lena at the sudden increase in height.

After that Winston gave her daughter a shoulder ride around the house, Lena was enjoying all the fun. When Winston got tired he plopped down on the couch with Lena on his lap.

"Whew...by the way, Lena."

"Um?" Lena tilted her head as she looked up at her father.

"You're going to elementary school next week...so we need to go get ready, we're going out tomorrow to go shopping for supplies, among other things" Winston said as he stroked Lena's head.

"Oke~" Lena nodded as she smiled.

 

 

In the evening of that same day, as Lena was getting ready to sleep she began to experience several weird things, the first was her vision would sometimes blur or go out of focus, she would suddenly feel full of energy only to then feel completely drained the next moment, as well as feeling pain all over her body and not to mention she was sweating like a river making her feel very uncomfortable.

"Ug...agh" Moaned Lena in pain as she writhed on her bed, you could see she was drenched in sweat.

"Daddy..." Murmured Lena between moans of pain calling for her father...but no one came to her aid.....

While Lena was going through this terrible feeling, Winston was on the couch watching a soccer game.

Sports in the present day were very difficult to perform because of the different peculiarities that people possessed, if a player possessed an ability that made him faster than his opponents it was terribly unfair.

That is why new rules were created that, among other things, included that only people with Quirk validated by the International Sportsmanship Agency could participate, and that some players could only be used if another team had a player with a similar particularity, for example, if Player 1 had a Quirk that made him faster for a short period of time, then the other team could use Player 2 who could use a similar Quirk.

For a person who has never seen a match, he might think that having a person with a strong Quirk is the best...

But no.

You see, normally the Quirk that are powerful or have a great increase in physical power, spend a very exaggerated amount of energy in the body, they can be useful in critical moments but once they use their Quirk they will be very useless the rest of the match because they will be exhausted.

The ones that shine in this type of sports are the people with passive or mutant Quirks, they don't have a huge power boost but they make up for it by expending less energy and a shorter recovery time, there are even some that can last a whole match without breaking a sweat.

Winston was watching TV when he heard a loud thump of something falling on the floor above.

"Lena?!" Quickly bolting off the couch he went to Lena's room to see what was going on.

Only to see her crying on the floor as she was drenched in sweat and grimacing in pain on her face.

"Daddy...it hurts...it hurts so much..." Lena replied between breaths as the tears continued to flow.

"Lena! What's wrong?!" Winston said as he picked her daughter up in his arms and examined her...but I can't find anything....

"Ugh" Lena was feeling too much pain to answer her father's question....

Winston carried Lena towards the couch before picking up his car keys and driving to the nearest hospital. Once he arrived at the front desk he called the receptionist who upon seeing Lena's condition called a doctor to check her out immediately.

The doctor asked Winston to wait outside while he examined Lena.

The more time passed the more Winston became concerned about her daughter's condition....

After about an hour the doctor came out to inform him of Lena's condition. The doctor was... well normal, doctor's clothes, doctor's glasses and his whole presence screamed doctor in general... though the only notable thing was his eyes which had a "+" shape in his pupils

"Doctor, is she all right?"

"Yes, don't worry, it's just a Quirk activation pain."

"I-I see."

Quirk Activation Pain, is basically like a kind of growing pain but much more painful, it depends on the person and the Quirk in question, this kind of pain usually happens to people with mutant Quirks or that change the physiology of the person in one way or another, horns, wings, extra arms, among much more... although there are also cases where this pain manifests but the Quirk of the person does not change their physiology, although the latter are rare cases.

Although Winston is a General Practitioner, he is not a specialist in Quirk Medicine, so he did not know the reason for Lena's pain.

"*Haa*" Winston let out a long sigh of relief that he didn't know he was holding back.

"So, are you going to stay here tonight or will you go home and we'll call you when Lena has recovered?" asked the doctor pleased to give the girl's father good news.

"I-I will stay with my daughter until she wakes up... I hope it won't be too much trouble..."

"Not at all, the pain should go away in 7 or 8 hours, I put her on a muscle relaxant so she won't feel so much pain when she wakes up, you can come in if you want but don't touch anything..."

"Okay got it doctor, thank you very much."

After thanking the doctor Winston opened the door to find Lena lying on a bed sleeping peacefully, in her arm was a serum being held by the stand, the serum was the muscle relaxant flowing through Lena's veins.

Winston looked for a chair that was not too far away and stood next to Lena....

As he was tired he slowly began to fall asleep.

Good night... thought Winston before falling into the realm of unconsciousness.

 

 

Lena woke up feeling strange, she felt like she was full of energy but at the same time incredibly exhausted, that she could run a marathon but at the same time she couldn't walk more than one step.

It was a strange feeling.

Looking around the room he saw ... her daddy.

...

HER DADDY?!

"Daddy?! Are you dead?!" Lena shouted as she tried to get out of bed but she couldn't move her legs or arms, as if they were sleeping....

No, in fact she couldn't feel her legs or arms.

Winston waking up to her daughter's scream, jumped up as his teeth sharpened and he grew a little more hair on his arms.

Looking around and seeing Lena made him calm down canceling...whatever he was doing.

"LENA!" Winston shouted before giving her daughter a tight hug, her still lying on the bed.

"Dad! I can't move! I can't feel my legs or my arms!" Lena exclaimed confused and panicked at her current situation.

"It's okay honey, last night you had severe pain in your body so I took you to the hospital, let me call the doctor to let him know you woke up."

"Last night?" Lena said confused as she tried to remember what happened last night...but she couldn't remember it was a little fuzzy.

Winston went out to get the doctor to let him know of Lena's awakening. After a few minutes he returned with the doctor at his side....

The doctor took the serum from Lena and waited a few minutes for it to wear off.

"Okay, so how are you feeling Lena?" Asked the doctor as he sat down in a chair across from Lena and Winston.

"I feel great!!! Like I'm full of energy!!!" Lena exclaimed as she wiggled her limbs with a big smile.

"I see, so..."

The doctor continued to ask Lena a series of questions to which she mostly replied "Great", "Good", "I don't know".

"Alright, you look good as new, that's good, now let me prick you with a needle I need some of your blood" Explained the doctor as he grabbed a needle.

"Oke" Lena said as she stretched out her arm.

As the doctor was about to prick her arm....

Clank

...the point of the needle broke.....

"""..."""

Without a word the doctor pulled out another needle and this time he was able to prick Lena without any problems. Winston was analyzing the fact that the needle broke on Lena's skin and how this could be related to her Quirk. Lena just thought the needle was defective.

The doctor put Lena's blood into a small machine that looked like a Tablet, the device immediately started analyzing the blood with a percentage.

...

24%

56%

79%

99%

...

..

.

ERROR {Reanalyzing}

...

SUCCESS {Successfully analyzed}

...

After the machine finished analyzing the blood it began to display some data on the screen.

"This is interesting and weird" Murmured the doctor looking at the data before passing it to Winston.

Winston confused by the doctor's reaction looked at the device which said.....

...

DETECTED: SUPER STRENGTH / GRADE: MINOR
DETECTED: SUPER STAMINA / GRADE: MINOR
DETECTED: HEALING FACTOR / GRADE: MINOR
DETECTED: FUTURE ENTROPIC ENERGY
DETECTED: REGRESSIVE ENTROPIC ENERGY
DETECTED: ENTROPIC UNION
DETECTED: ENTROPIC RESISTANCE

...

Winston was stunned.

It is not uncommon for a person's Quirk to have several small effects, these effects are usually called Secondary Quirk, for example, Endevour, his Primary Quirk allows him to generate large amounts of flames as everyone already knows, but his Secondary Quirk, also gives him great fire resistance, super strength and endurance, but these are minor facts that are usually overlooked and not many people pay attention to.

So for Winston that Lena has super strength and endurance, even if it is a minor degree, is normal, what stunned him is the main part of the Quirk.

Entropy of time.

(AN: Time entropy is a very complicated thing to understand, even I don't fully understand it, so I won't explain it because it's a lot of text, if you want to know more about it Google it).

"WOW!!!.... what is that?" asked Lena confused by her Quirk.

"*Haa*, let's just say it's a cool Quirk" Sighed Winston as he tried to calm his nerves.

After that and some paperwork Lena and Winston went home on a leisurely trip... okey no... Lena was too excited that she woke up her Quirk....

For the next few months Winston helped Lena to control her Quirk with great care, although it was during one of her practices that something went terribly wrong...
