The Shindo kid tries to take out the "villians" with a small quake but it didn't really affect Gang Orca, idiot.

"You let a single anchor to deal with a threat like me? Don't get cocky kids." Orca remarks as I run over.

"Cocky? Damn, if you were my sib-in-law I'd make a dick joke." I smirk, summoning a fire sword as Shoto tries to ice Orca.

"Welcome to the party, Shoto." I nod at him as the wind starts to pick up.

"BLOW THE HECK AWAY!!" the Yoarashi guy yells "...What a heated turn of events they've decided to go with!!"

I guess the two of them got Orca, so I start brawling with one of the sidekicks that weren't blown away.

The wind picks up again, feeling hella warmer as I move onto the next guy. "Why fire?! The heat made my wind rise!!" Yoarashi yells, I'm assuming, at Shoto. For the love of Soba, they're worse than Bakugo and Midoriya. Might as well take the opportunity, fire is smart though with Orca being an aquatic hero.

"Hey Orca!!" I yell, lighting my right hand fist on fire "Hope you like your knuckle sandwiches spicy!!" I aim for his head that he blocks with his forearm, but I use it as an opportunity to go for a kick, also to the head.

I still hear those two arguing, the fucking idiots. "Excuse me, I need to yell at the children." I sigh, before turning to face the two "If you don't stop your fucking bickering like fucking children, I will send you both to the other side of the arena!" I yell at them as Midoriya yells "What's the big deal?!" after having to move Shindo out of the way of some rouge flames.

I move out of the way of that cement junk before turning back to Orca "Now Let's pick up where we left off." I use my right side to create a fire sword and start battling with Orca, dodging the cement as I do so.

A fire tornado appears around us "finally" I mumble, continuing to fight. The heat will weaken him, it'll cause some trouble for me, but I just have to keep icing myself to keep my core temp right.

"You're a stubborn one huh." Orca remarks, dumping some water on his head.

"Get it from my dad." I smirk, let heat things up a bit. I reach my hand out to the vortex, adding some orange flames to the fire tornado. Also trying to keep it around us now that the air is hotter, it'll be less willing to cooperate.

BZZZT //"ahem! At present, every last H.U.C. member on the field has been rescued from impending danger. Therefore, I declare that this test is over!// BZZZZT

Damn, already? I put all the fire out with some ice as I put my beanie on. "Well, that was fun." I remark, walking over to my twin and smacking him outside the head.

"OW! Why? I mean I know why, but why?" he complains.

"Because I'm trying to knock some sense into ya." I inform him "And I was serious about sending you two to the other side of the arena."

"Didn't doubt it, Sis."

"It's been a long battle, boys and girls, but now it's time for the results. Before that, though, regarding the scoring system. We of the Hero Public Safety Commission, along with the members of H.U.C. were deducting points on two issues as we watched you perform. Essentially, we judged you on your ability to act flawlessly in a crisis.

"Anyhow, here are the names of those who passed the test in alphabetical order." The moment of truth. "Keep everything I've said in mind, please take a look."

Come on, please be up there, please please please. Between Tokoyami and Naito, I see one Todoroki. That Todoroki is- "I passed!" I smiled I fucking did it!" But Shoto didn't, Kaminari passed too, that's good.

The commission people come by with the breakdown. Ninety-five points on the second task, probably for turning and yelling at Shoto and Yoarashi, fair enough. "Going forward, those who pass now have the legal right to act in a heroic capacity, but only during emergencies. That means, fighting villains, rescuing people in disaster scenarios even without a Professional Hero's guidance, you're permitted to take action on your own. But keep in mind that every action you take comes with a heavy responsibility to society.

"As you all know, the great hero All Might is out of commission. His active presence served as an important deterrent to crime. Without that factor holding them back, we can be sure that the more brazen villains out there will start showing their faces. The balance has shifted, and the world is bound to start changing in a big way. With that in mind, know that you , the next generation, are the central pillar of society.

"Now, as heroes, you will set a standard. You must become the new bulwark keeping crime at bay. Be aware that the licenses you now receive are Provisional ones. The road ahead is still a long one, so study hard at your respective academic institutions!!" Mera goes on about those that didn't make the cut.

"Todoroki-san!" Midoriya exclaims when I walk over to my classmates, "You took the exam?"

"Yeah," I rub the back of my neck, "I'm surprised I passed."

"What was your score?" Kaminari asks, peering over my shoulder at my paper.

" Ninety-five, they docked points for me turning my back on Gang Orca to yell at Shoto and Yoarashi."

"A ninety-five?! Holy Shit!" he responds, brushing his hand against mine briefly as Yoarashi asks if I'm actually a Todoroki.

"Yeah I am." I answer "What's it to you?"

"I could tell from your eye, same cold look." he says.

"Well, I pride myself in being a cold-hearted bitch that doesn't give a fuck about anyone's opinions." I state with a shrug.

"But I respect that you'd yelled at us for bickering." he adds, before slamming his head into the ground "I'm sorry that I caused you to lose points!!"

Jesus Christ "It's fine, I could've yelled at you two without turning around." It just wouldn't have the same effect.

~~

"Thanks again for driving me last minute, Keigo." I tell my brother-in-law from the back seat with Toya taking the passenger seat.

"Not a problem Azula." he smiles.

"Still can't believe you got the okay to take the exam." Toya shakes his head "And fucking passed!"

"I can believe I passed too." I lean back a bit, my license still in hand, one last task for the day, and to keep my promise with Hitoshi.

"And why didn't you tell anyone?" my brother asks.

"Because I wanted it to be a surprise." I shrug.

"Or because you're an ass."

"Bold from the one that ain't telling anyone about his pregnancy. That's a little more important."

"I'm gonna smack you."

I give a smile before looking at my phone with some messages from 'Toshi and Kami.Both of them asking where I'm at, and Hitoshi also wondering why I didn't tell him that I was taking the exam.

"Ready to do this?" Keigo asks, parking in the lot of a building.

"Yeah." I answer, unbuckling myself and putting my license in my phone case.

"We'll be out here when you're done." Toya tells me.

"Thanks, be back in a bit." I leave the car, shutting it behind me as I walk towards the building. I'm still in my school uniform only because it's all I got other than my costume.

"Hi, I know it's a little late, but can I visit Mrs. Todoroki Rei?" I ask the lady at the counter.

"Of course, just sign in here." she hands me a book "Then she's just down the hall."

"Alright, thank you." I smile before signing and going down said hall. I only had to pass a few doors before I get to her's. The door is open but she is reading a book by the window. Okay, deep breath, Azula. It's just Mom.

I knock on the door frame, causing her to look up and put her book down.

"Hi Mom." I say as she stands up.

"Azula, is that really you?" she asks, walking over and putting a hand on my cheek.

"Yeah Mom, it's really me." I tell her, tearing up a bit.

"My baby." she hugs me tight and I hug her back.

"I'm sorry it took me a bit to come visit you." I tell her.

"It's fine, I honestly didn't believe Shoto when he said you were alive." she looks up at me, wiping a couple tears.

"Toya thought I was Shoto pulling a prank when I called him after the USJ attack." I chuckle.

"With the number of times you two pretended to be each other." she chuckles "Close the door, sit down, tell me what has happened in your life. Oh I've missed so much."

"Sure." I close the door behind me, sitting down next to her on the bed. "Well, for starters," I pull out my phone and show her my license, "I'm officially a semi-Pro."

She takes the license in her hand, "You're using Kiki." she remarks, Kiki is the hero name her and I came up with when I was, what four? Honestly, the only good one I could come up with other than "The Quirkless Queen" but I'm not pulling a Toya in that department.

"Yeah. And I also managed to get myself two boyfriends." I blush a little, rubbing the back of my neck "Still don;t know how I even got one."

"Oh? Do you have any pictures of them?" Mom asks.

"No." an idea comes in "But I can probably get Shoto to take a picture of them for me."

"Probably?" she asks. I nod before texting my twin the request, and why.

"Does your father know?" Mom asks me.

"About the boyfriends?" I tilt my head.

"Well, that, but that you're alive."

"Yeah, he knows I'm alive, not about the boyfriends though."

"Good, he was blaming himself for your death." Mom tells me "You were his little girl after all, as much as Toya was his mini-me."

"Doesn't seem like it as much now regarding me." I huff. I shouldn't trouble her with my problems with Dad.

Mom tilts her head a little "Why do you think that, sweetheart?"

"It's just," my shoulders sag, "it feels like every time I'm at the estate and he's there, he's avoiding me unless I wedged myself in to make him eat or when the camp got attacked. I just don't know why." Probably because I'm being annoying or bossy. Maybe both.

"Azula," she places her hand on mine "let me ask you, why would you avoid someone you care about?"

To not disappoint them, to keep them from getting hurt either emotionally or physically, my reasons are endless.

"You take more after your father than you do me, that was obvious when you were little, and I'm willing to bet he's avoiding you for one or more of your reasons to avoid someone." she continues "I think you just need to give a little more of a consistent push to spend time with him."

"You think so?" I mean, that kinda works for me, depending on the person.

"Yes." she smiles as I get a text from 'Toshi. A selfie of him and Kami snuggled on 'Toshi's bed. "Oh, here's my boyfriends." I tilt my phone for Mom to see "That's Shinso Hitoshi and Kaminari Denki." I point out who's who.

"They look sweet, are they treating you right?"

"Yeah Mom, they're both great, Kami is always sending us random memes and 'Toshi makes sure we're eating and getting enough sleep." I tell her as I get another picture, this time it's my sleeping pile with my brothers.

"Oh, here's one with Toya and Shoto." I show Mom "Toya said it was revenge for us two sneaking into his room."

"He was probably missing his husband."

"Probably." I smile before asking "Has Toya visited you?"

"Not yet. Keigo said that your brother doesn't want to set me back because he looks the most like your father." Mom tells me "Though, the doctors think it might be good for me to see him for that reason."

"I could text Keigo to drag him in here," I offer "they're both outside in the car."

"Only if he doesn't mind."

"Just texted him."

A few minutes later, there's a knock on the door. "Heyo." Keigo waves with Toya in tow.

"Keigo," Mom gets up and hugs him "how are you?"

I'm doing well, I brought a gift." Keigo brings Toya front and center.

"Hi Mom." he says.

"Toya, my baby." she pulls him into a hug.

—

"You're annoying, you know that right Azula?" Toya asks, back in the car.

"That's my job." I smile at him, causing Toya to scoff.

"Let's get you guys back to UA before Aizawa kills me." Hawks chirps.

"You're off tonight, right?" Toya asks his husband.

"Yeah, but I got an early morning patrol."

"That's fine, just wake me up before you leave."

"I always do."

I lean my head against the window as I look out it. I'll have to sleep in my dorm tonight just so 'Toshi, Kami and I don't get caught. Shame really, but whatever I'll just be running on espresso tomorrow.

"Going to sneak off to your boyfriend's room tonight?" Toya asks me.

"Probably not, don;t want to risk getting in trouble." I tell him.

"You got a boyfriend?" Keigo asks.

"Two now, Shinso and now Kaminari too as a throuple." I answer.

"Wait, when the hell was this?" Toya asks, turning to face me.

"A little while ago."

"Jesus Christ 'Zu, I believed ya when you said you were straight."

"Fuck off." I kicked the back of his seat, "That's not fucking why and Shoto already made the joke."

"Damnit Sho."
