No, nonono. Not Mags, not Big Sis Mags. "I'm truly sorry to have to tell you this over the phone, I much rather tell you in-person but given how you irritated Shigaraki, it wouldn't be smart."

"Don't be sorry, circumstances can't be controlled." I tell him "Thank you for calling me." I give my biceps a squeeze with my free arm. Not Mags-

"If you do get the chance to, we can meet up at HQ for a proper grievance."

"Yes, I'll get you a time and date once I get one."

"Of course my Lady, just let me know. Farewell for now Your Majesty."

"By Compress." He hangs up and I call Toya.

"We're in the same building, Sis-"

"Are you in your dorm?" I ask him, my voice quiet to keep me from crying for now.

"Yeah, what's up Azula?"

"I'll be there in a sec." I hang up before going to his dorm, knocking first.

" 'Zula, what's the matter?" His voice is laced with concern.

"Mags-" I don't make it out before hugging him and starting to cry.

"Let's go in, okay." He gently leads me inside, shutting the door behind me, just in time for him to get a call.

"What is it, Compress?" Good, I don't have to tell him.

"You're kidding, right? Because I swear to fucking God." Dabi warns as I hug my brother tighter, "The fucker, thanks for telling me. Have Twice make a copy of me to deal with Crusty, I won't be able to make it for a bit... Yeah, thanks Compress... Don't worry, we'll be fine...Bye." he hangs up and hugs me tight "Come on, let's cuddle on the bed, okay?" he says.

I nod, going over snuggling up to him, still in a hug as Toya puts a blanket over us.

"Why?" I mumble, "Why her?"

"I know, 'Zu, I know. Just shows how shitty this world is, kiddo."

"Who's going to make me eat breakfast when I try to leave with just coffee?" I half-joke.

"Lost our second mother after reconnecting with Mom." TOya sighs "Such wonderful fucking timing.

"I didn't even get to tell Mags I got my license."

"She knew you're attending UA?"

"Her and Compress, I forgot that my extra uniform in my office after the USJ. They both came to the Sports Festival."

"I knew I saw her when I was walking back over to the rest of the Class."

- - Next day at Lunch - -

"Are you okay Azula?" Kami asks.

"Yeah, you keep Zoning-out." 'Toshi adds.

It takes everything in me not to say that it's nothing or that I'm just thinking, after all I promised 'Toshi. "No, a friend of mine died. Just the other day." I tell them.

"Oh my God, are you okay babe?" Kami asks, taking my hand.

"Numb, I guess." After crying it out for the most part with Toya, talking about the good memories of her, I just grew numb. Going through the motions this morning. "I mean, the career she picked, it was bound to happen just-"

"It still hurts." 'Toshi finishes.

"Hey, if you need anything, let us know. Okay?" Kami tells me.

"I'll try to remember that."

After school, I leave campus, with permission, to the Todoroki Estate. I already told Aizawa that I'll probably be out for most of the afternoon and will let him know when I'm on my way back with ETA.

"Tadaimas!" I call out, entering the home.

"Azula!" Fuyumi pops her head in from the kitchen "Why aren't you at school?"

"For a couple reasons, is Dad here?" I ask her, putting on the guest slippers.

"He should be in his office, Cell kicked him out again. I'm making dinner, if you want to stay for that, or can."

"I don't want to intru- OW! What the fuck Natsuo?" I rub the back of my head where said brother smacked me.

"Stop acting like you're a guest. The old man even gotcha your own slippers."

He did? Why the fuck did he do that? I change my slippers before heading up to his office.

Here goes nothing, I knock on the door, receiving an "Open." before walking in.

"Hi Dad."

"Azula? What are you doing here?" he asks me, setting down the papers in his hand.

"For a few reasons." I pull out the school form, handing it to him.

"Work Study?" Dad raises an eyebrow "Don't you need your Provisional license, nevertheless in the Hero Course?"

"Got transferred into A just before we moved into the dorms, and" I pull out my license "passed the exam a few days ago."

"No." Dad states, trying to hand me the paper back.

"Why not?" I cross my arms, not taking the paper.

"You're not ready."

"That's a load of bullshit."

"Tell me why you think I should let you do your work study at my agency. Why would you be a good choice for my agency?"

Where to begin, "Let's see," I tap my chin "nine years of constant training that I've done willingly, though it is mostly consisting of melee combat and fighting without my quirk; of course third place at the Sports Festival as a Gen Ed Student, impressive to anyone, nevertheless barely using my quirk to get it. Frankly, I could've gotten first but I didn't feel like it." I walk closer to his desk "Last but not least, I'm your spawn, which seemed qualifying enough for Toya since he didn't participate in the festival. The only difference between us is that I haven't gone through your training. So, explain to me why you think I'm not ready for your agency."

My father is silent and avoiding my gaze.

"You still see me as a four-year-old girl that'd pull pranks with her twin. The little girl whose death you blame yourself for the decade." I remark, sitting down in front of him.

"You've talked with your mother." Dad notes.

"Yeah, I did. I know it's a huge jump from a four-year-old girl you needed to protect to a fifteen-year-old that could probably whoop your ass, but avoiding me won't change it."

He's silent for a few seconds, "Fine." he stamps the paper "I'll have you at my agency, but don't expect me to let you off easy."

"I'd be disappointed if you did." I put the paper in my bag before getting up, "I'm going to try to help Fuyumi with dinner. If you're not down there, I will bring a plate up and make sure you eat."

He hums acknowledgement, picking the other papers up as I leave the room.

"What can I help with, Sis?" I ask my sister as I walk into the kitchen.

"The food is almost done, so you can sit down." she tells me.

"I can help set the table." I offer.

"I got it already, 'Zu." Natsuo says, grabbing plates from the cabinet.

"I can do something." I whine a little.

"You can sit down, Azula." Fuyumi repeats a little more firmly than earlier.

"Fine." No point in arguing with her.

"So what did you need to talk to Dad about?" Fuyumi asks, once we start eating our Nikumans.

"Just asking if I can do my work study at his agency." I shrug, the hero still in his office.

"Like Hero Work Study?" Natsuo asks "Aren't ya in Gen Ed?"

"They transferred Hitoshi and I to Class A just before we moved to the dorms and Nezu gave me the okay to take the Provisional Exam." I shrug before taking a bite of my food.

"Hold up, since when are you calling Shinso by his given name?" Natsuo points his chopsticks at me, causing Fuyumi to get after him.

"Why wouldn't I call my boyfriends by their given name?" I tilt my head.

"Boyfriends, plural?" Fuyumi asks.

I feel my cheeks warm up a bit, "Yeah, Shinso Hitoshi, obviously, and Kaminari Denki."

"The Pikachu kid?" Natsuo asks, "He got his ass handed to him by that vine girl."

"Who asked who first?" Fuyumi asks.

"Hitoshi asked me just before summer. Then Kami asked not long before the Provisional Exams, apparently trying to grow the balls to ask us."

"You're a throuple?" Fuyumi asks and I nod.

"Are they treating you right? Because I swear if they aren't." Natsuo states.

"Yes, Natsu, they are both treating me right and more terrified of Toya than they would of you." I eyeroll, "But they're both really sweet, and currently Kami is trying to figure out what nickname will get a reaction out of me."

"Aw, what has he tried so far?" Fuyumi asks.

"Cutie was the latest and 'my lady' when he offered me a hand up." So glad neither of my boyfriends are here.

"Azula," Dad walks in "your sleeve is on fire."

"Fucking shit!!" I turn off my quirk, but my sleeve is already burnt which sucks because this is my school shirt.

"Does Toya know, so that I can have him tell Kaminari that 'cutie' and 'my lady' get a reaction."

"Imma smack you Natsuo."

- - -

"Thanks again for driving me back Dad." I say getting into my father's truck. I already texted Aizawa, my brothers and my boyfriends that I'm on my way back.

"Of course, you got a curfew to keep." Dad says, starting up the truck and driving towards the school.

To be honest, the car ride is quiet. I don't know if it's the awkward kind or because neither of us are really talkers. I mean it's fine, I'll just text my boyfriends. Both of them wanting to know if we should sleep in our separate dorms tonight after nearly getting caught by Iida himself this morning. We all know the air doesn't need to be abused because of us.

Triple the Fun

Toshi: I mean, even tho I've been getting a norm sleep schedule, we might play it safe.

Kami: but I got used 2 cuddling 2 sleep :(

A: ik, but after Bakugo's and Midoriya's fight..

A: Might be safer to sacrifice at least my sleep.

K: but cuddles and snuggles :( :(

T: ik, but ya kno Iida will tell Aizawa

K: wht if we sleep in my dorm?

A: aren't u rght next to Iida?

K: crap. No cuddles.

A: Might be smart to wait a couple nights too.

K: :( :( :(

T: Can you even stay up for two days straight 'Zula

A: you don't even want to know the longest I've stayed up w/ a nap and caffeine

-

"So," Dad says "you got two boyfriends?"

My cheeks turn red "Yeah, you're not going to kill me for bringing home another loud blonde?" I joke, rubbing my neck.

"You, never. But if either of them hurt you."

"Geez Dad, you just got the top spot." I chuckle.

"You're acting like I don't know how to get away with murder."

"You're right, they'll end up arresting Dabi and won't deny it, if you cook them. Anything else and you'd get caught."

"You know how to commit murder and get away with it?"

"Got some ideas if Hawks hurt Toya." I shrug, seeing a text saying, basically, fuck it sleep is more important. Yeah, I need to sleep now before my work study.

"In relation to your work study," Dad has a more firm tone "Come straight to my agency tomorrow; Cell will show you around and take you out on patrol. I got something to take care of, but you'll be in good hands."

"Will do."

- -

Good news, we did not get caught this morning. But now it's time for my work study.

"Hi, I'm here for my work study." I greet the lady at the front desk.

"I got you kid." in walks Cell, "You're Kiki?"

"Yes ma'am." I bow, "It's nice to meet you."

"Come on, let's get you dressed out and give you a tour. Also, you don;t need to call me ma'am."

"Okay." I follow her to the locker room.

"Alrighty, this will be your locker." Cell gestures to the locker.

"Thank you." I set my case down and start taking off my uniform.

I hear Cell give a hum, causing me to glance over to her shaking her head, "Something the matter?" I ask her.

"Nothing's wrong." she answers, "Just reminiscing."

"Alright." I finish changing, forgoing my beanie. I mean it's my father's agency.

"Ready?" she asks after I put my case away.

"Yup." Deep breath 'Zu, you got this.

We leave the locker room and going over to the elevator, it was empty, good I guess.

"You've grown so much." Cell says "It seems like yesterday the agency was placing bets on what gender you and Shoto were. Then again, we were expecting only one baby."

"Really?" I ask her.

"Oh yeah, from the fourteen week mark or so on, it seemed like you two would switch who's in front, thus switching genders almost every appointment."

Now that's funny, been switching spots pre-birth. Cell shows me around the agency, meeting a couple sidekicks, before taking me on my first patrol.

"For fucks sake." I flip the robber as he was running with a sack of something with the business owner tailing behind 'em.

"Nice one kid." Cell says.

"Thank you so much, young hero." the owner says with a bow.

"Just doing my job." I smile.

"Not a bad job, kid." Cell says, "Your father should be here tomorrow." We finished our patrol and walked back to the agency.

"Alright, should I come back at the same time tomorrow?" I ask.

"That should work, I'll let you know if anything changes."

"Sounds good."

Once back at the agency, I go change back into my school uniform with a beanie on, it's starting to get dark and I already feel off in the summer uniform shirt, if it wasn't for the white long sleeve shirt I have on, I'm sure Hitoshi and Denki would be asking about the now scarred cuts on my arm.

I don't want to talk about it with them, at least not yet even with 'Toshi knowing of the existence of them. Just not the amount.

- -

"Welcome back Todoroki-san!" Ashido greets me as soon as I walk through the door.

"Hi Ashido." I need to change into casual clothes and do my homework before dinner.

"Bro, you good?" Kirishima asks "You look tired."

"I'm fine." I answer him, before going into the elevator.

"Azula!" Kami smiles as he gets into the elevator from the third floor, "I was about to see if you were back yet." He gives me a hug and a kiss on my cheek once the doors close.

"Just got back." I tell him, hugging him back.

"Mind if I come to your dorm? Hitoshi is still out doing some extra training." he asks.

"I wouldn't mind the company, but I'll be doing my homework." I can just take my button-up off and leave my skirt on.

Once my door was shut, I start unbuttoning my shirt. "Damn~" Kami whistles, "didn't think I'd be getting a show too." he smirks.

"Fuck off." I chuck my shirt at him, covering his face "I got a shirt underneath."

"True, besides, Hitoshi would wanna watch too." Kami wink once he moves the shirt off, allowing me to flick his forehead. I swear to God.

"You know I'm not wrong."

"I swear to fucking God."

"Why fuck God when you got me~."

"I will kick you out."

"I'll behave!"

God I love him, even though he can be an idiot at times.

I finish my homework with minimal distractions from my boyfriend before joining him in my bed as I look through my phone, my left arm wrapped around Kami who's fiddling with said hand as he looks through his phone.

"Hey," Kami puts his phone down, "where did you get this scar from?"

My sleeve had rolled up a bit, but luckily "The USJ, Shigaraki had grabbed my arm when Midoriya and I charged at him." I answer. Thank goodness it's that one and not the other ones..

"Shit, I forgot you were there too." Kami remarks "Makes you look badass."

"Thanks Kami."

I feel him scoot closer to me "So, how did the first day of your work study go?"

"Nothing fancy, just a patrol." I tell him, putting my phone on the nightstand to better cuddle him, "Though there's a mild downside of the agency I picked."

"Why? Are they treating you badly? Because I will fight a Pro for ya."

I laugh "Relax Kami, nothing like that. Besides, I doubt you'd actually fight this Pro."

"Then what's the downside of the agency?"

Knock knock "Hey Azula," it's 'Toshi, "Safe for me to come in?"

"It's safe, 'Toshi." I answer back, 'Toshi walks in, shutting the door behind him.

"Geez, cuddling without me." he remarks.

"You missed a show earlier." Kami smirks.

"There was no fucking show, idiot. I just took off my shirt." Nope that made it worse.

"Damn, if I knew about that I would've skipped training." 'Toshi smirks.

"I will kick both of you out. I had a shirt under it." I swear they're trying to set the dorms on fire.

"You love us though." Kami coos.

"Yeah, but I'll still kick you out to keep the dorms from catching on fire."

'Toshi has us scoot over so that he can cuddle with us. "So, what was the downside of the agency you're at?" Kami asks again.

"Do I need to fight a Pro?" 'Toshi asks.

"No, neither of you are going to fight my dad." I state.

"You're at your dad's?" Kami asks "Yeah nope, I'm not fighting Endeavor."

"So what's the downside?" Hitoshi asks.

"Well," I say "one of the sidekicks has been there since, at least, before Sho and I were born."

"So they can tell us all the cute shit you did as a baby?" Kami asks, sounding hopeful.

"Probably." I shrug "Toya could tell some stories too.
