Chapter Fourteen
"PAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Zoë wailed, throwing herself into her dad's arms. "I...I ACCIDENTALLY...I DIDN'T MEAN TOO!"
Izuku sighed. "Katsuki, get in here right now."
Bakugo walked in with his shirt half singed off and grinning like a maniac.
"Girl's gettin' used to her quirk," he smirked.
"I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I WAS SWEATING!!!!!" The gurl wailed.
Izuku took a deep breath, and massaged his temples. He walked into the living room to see their white couch with a gaping hole in the middle, still on fire.
"DAD TOLD ME I SHOULD PRACTICE USING IT! HE SAID I NEED TO GET READY FOR THE ENTRANCE EXAMS!!"
Izuku's eyes narrowed, and Bakugo paled.
"Uh..."
Izuku pulled Zoë into a hug, and then grabbed her shoulders lightly. He looked into her eyes, and smiled.
"Honey. You're going to do great. I know you get nervous using your quirk, but you need it to realize your dream! C'mon, why don't you go take a shower and then get changed for bed? You have a big day tomorrow!"
Zoë nodded excitedly, and kissed her dad on the cheek. She gave Bakugo a quick hug, and ran down the hallway.
"Well, I should go shower too!" Bakugo panicked, trying to get out of the room as fast as possible.
Izuku activates One For All, And was gripping Bakugo by his shirt collar in less than a second. Bakugo sweatdropped.
"Uh...I just...she wants to get in, right?"
"Katsuki. She's fourteen. She's been working with her quirk for ten years. Just because she doesn't always use it, it doesn't mean she doesn't have full control of it. She's practiced hard for this. Just trust her, okay?"
Bakugo nodded, clearly still nervous.
"And you're buying a new couch off of YOUR Amazon account. Go."
Bakugo ran to their room, hoping in for a shower.
Deku showered after him, and they watched TV in bed for a few minutes, until their door freaked open. A pair of emerald eyes peeked through the opening.
Bakugo laughed gently. "C'mere, love."
She smiled and fell into her Dad's arms. Katsuki kissed her on the head, and changed the channel to The Bachelor. Izuku his behind his book, making sure Katsuki wasn't watching him.
"Wait, Yuki eliminated KARI?! Did you see her dress last episode?!" Bakugo screamed at the TV.
"Right? She's perfect for him!" Zoë replies, annoyed. Izuku couldn't help it- he burst into laughter.
Katsuki cracked a smile and rubbed his head sheepishly.
"Goodnight, you two. Zoë, brush your teeth and go to sleep, okay?" Izuku smiled.
"Yeah, Papa's going to be busy," Bakugo smirked. Izuku went bright red, and smacked him on the shoulder. Zoë laughed and smirked back at Bakugo, and they high fived.
"I can never win!" Izuku groaned.
———————
"I can't believe today is the day!" Izuku beamed, trying his best to keep from crying. Zoë smiled.
"It's just an entrance exam, right? How hard can it be?"
Izuku and Bakugo looked at each other.
"Uh...right..."
Believe it or not, Bakugo was quite the helicopter parent, and he wasn't finished taking pictures. But someone knocked on the dooor, and Zoë saw that as her chance to get away from her dads.
"Mornin', Zo!" Kirika smiled, giving an army salute and showing off her sharp teeth. "Sorry I took so long! My parents were fighting again!"
Izuku grinned fondly, and Bakugo smirked. He walked out onto their walkway, and saw them arguing.
"Eijiro, you KNOW she can't eat that- it's bad for her teeth!"
"Calm down, Testutetsu- she's our daughter- she's fully capable of making her own decision. Hey, Bakugo!"
Izuku waved and Bakugo grinned. Just then, another girl ran up the path.
"Sorry!!" She sang, not looking sorry at all. "Mom has a gig today, and Dad was being...well, Dad."
Melody ran up to Kirika and Zoë and hugged both of them.
"Okay, picture time!" Izuku said, motioning for the kids to get together. They all smiled and gave their parents one last kiss, and the girls headed down the path together.
"Can't believe they're really heading to UA..." Deku whispered.
"Yeah. Kirishima, Testutestu- come on in- we made some extra breakfast!" Bakugo said.
————————
"OKAAAAAAAAAAY!" Mic screamed from the top of the auditorium. "Welcome, future freshmen of UA! We're going to put you all into groups based on your years, and then we will start the entrance exam!"
Zoë kept trying to remember how to breathe. The whole walk to Ground Gamma, she was worried she might actually collapse. She was wearing a black tank top and loose navy leggings-Deku had told her all about how Bakugo had worn the same thing for his exam, and Izuku was secretly taking pictures for Katsuki's birthday present, after he basically begged All Might for days about letting him see the exam.
Zoë took a deep breath. She had no idea her dad was watching, but he smiled seeing her use some of the breathing exercises he had taught her.
"Begin."
And all hell broke loose.
Zoë whipped her head around, clearly scared out of her mind when she could see some of the robots appear. But she took a deep breath, and explosions sparked in her palms. Without warning, she blasted into the air, and beat everyone to the thing. Smashing its face in.
"DIE...?" She screamed, trying to imitate Bakugo, but failing miserably. However, Izuku has almost started crying. She was just too precious.
The girl zipped around the course, killing robot after robot, and Izuku couldn't be prouder. However, there was someone who was doing better than her, and by quite a margin.
Yukino Todoroki was flying through the air, blasting two monsters at once with dual spears made of fire and ice. She would gracefully flip in midair, land on the floor, and repeat her actions all over again. And for the first time, Izuku saw a bit of a fire burn in Zoë's eyes.
She growled, and went off in pursuit of Yukino. That's when she realized that it was the only monster left that she was pursuing, and no one else dared get in her way. Zoë started running over, Izuku knew it was pointless. He saw it on her face that she knew she had no chance. If she couldn't beat Yukino right here, right now...she wasn't sure if she could face her parents.
Izuku turned away, almost not wanting to see her fail. But his head whipped right back around when he heard Zoë scream.
She was charging at Yukino, holding a piece of scrap metal from one of the robots- and Izuku recognized that move: it was the one he had used in the sports festival when he was her age. He stared in awe as she grabbed what looked like a small ball of metal, and wiped her sweat on it. She then used the larger piece of metal as a bat, and flung it at the robot.
Just as Yukino was about to hit it, the reaction from being near her fire set off her sweat. The thing erupted into a huge explosion, and when the dust settled, Yukino was covered in a layer of ash, and Zoë fell to her knees.
"Round One. Freshmen Entrance Exams. Complete. Top Scorer: Zoë Bakugo."
Izuku burst into tears, and resisted every urge he had to go over and hug her. Kirika and Melody rushed over to her, congratulating her. Out of the corner of his eye, Izuku saw Yukino scowling, shooting deadly glances at Zoë. What he didn't know was that Bakugo has been watching the whole time.
Zoë has finally made her way to the exit, and gasped. A huge crowd of reporters had gathered around a few people a few hundred yards away. She rushed over, and barely got a glimpse of the green hair. She smiled.
Izuku noticed her, and winked in her direction. She made a little heart with her hands, and smiled back at him. Just then, a loud voice yelled,
"ZOË WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!" Everyone else tensed, but she just rolled her eyes. Bakugo stormed over to her, and crushed her in a hug.
"That's my girl!" He beamed, ruffling her hair. "Number one, right here!" He boasted, shooting a smirk over at the last pro hero who was at the scene.
Shoto Todoroki stood there, scowling, his arms crossed, standing next to his obviously furious daughter.
Zoë remembered what Izuku has taught her about not being a bad sport, and she went over to where her rival was standing.
"You did great, Yukino. It was an honor." She said. Yukino scowled and shook it. Todoroki also held out his left hand and shook hers, but Zoë noticed something was wrong.
She ran back over to Bakugo, but as soon as she did, she fell to the floor, gripping her hand.
Bakugo began to panic, and waved over Izuku, who was already on his way over after seeing the girl collapse.
"Zo? Zo, what's wrong?!" Bakugo hissed.
She sobbed and opened her hand.
Layers of skin had been burned off, leaving her hand a bloody mess. It was still steaming, and they could tell she was trying her best to stay calm.
Izuku pulled her into a hug, and brushed the tears out of her face. He grabbed her and activated One For All, rushing her to Recovery Girl as fast as he could.
Bakugo stood up, shaking. He ground his teeth and his face darkened. Before anyone could do anything, Bakugo was lifting Todoroki up by his shirt collar.
"HOW FUCKING DARE YOU, ICY-HOT?!" He screamed. Todoroki even looked shocked. Not even he had seen him so angry before.
"THAT IS MY DAUGHTER. MY EVERYTHING. AND YOU DECIDED TO MAIM HER ON PURPOSE?!"
Todoroki laughed.
"Say whatever you want, Bakugo. You have no proof. It's not like anyone's going to believe you."
Bakugo slapped him across the face. This time, it was his turn to grin.
He pointed silently to the reporters, all of them recording the whole time. Todoroki was so caught up in his scheme that he hadn't noticed the cameras.
"Eijiro..." Bakugo grinned. "You got that on tape?"
"Damn right!"
Bakugo released his hold on Todoroki, and he slumped to the floor. Yukino rushed over to help him, and that's when Izuku reappeared, with Aizawa, Mic, and All Might by his side.
"I didn't want to believe it..." All Might sighed. Aizawa scowled.
"Shoto, right now, you're no better than your father. I'm afraid you've been banned from the UA campus. And Midoriya and Bakugo's Hero Agencies will be contacting yours to settle a lawsuit. I suggest we wrap things up. Yaoyorozu?"
Todoroki's face split into pure panic, as a tall, dark haired woman stepped out of the crowd.
"M-Momo?!" He whispered.
"Don't you DARE call me that." She hissed. "You KNOW how important my friends are to me. And if I can't trust you with my friends, how can I trust you with my daughter?! That's it. That's IT, Shoto! I'm leaving. I'm taking Yukino with me. I never want to see your face again!" She grabbed her daughter by the hand, who instantly started crying. The newscasters tried to follow them, but Momo creates restraints faster than they could walk.
—————————
"Zoë? How're you feeling, love?" Izuku whispered, brushing a lick of hair out of his daughter's face.
"I-I'm okay...I'm sorry to cause you trouble Papa."
Bakugo sat down.
"You have nothing to apologize for. That BASTARD is never coming near you again, and he's already getting his Hero License revoked. I always knew he was a piece of-"
"That's ENOUGH, Katsuki," Izuku said gently. He tucked Zoë into bed, and kissed her on the forehead. "Sleep well. We'll see Recovery Girl again in the morning, 'Kay? Then it should be all better."
Bakugo squeezed her good hand, and smiled. He then followed Izuku out of the room.
Somewhere close by, but still so far away, a man with blue hair and dry skin grinned to himself.
"Two quirks, huh?"
"Yes. He'll do nicely."
AN: HELLO! I'm back!! It's been a while since we had a real chapter, and to make up for it...I DOUBLED THE LENGTH!! I hope you guys aren't too mad, and I hope this satisfies you. And to be honest, I CANNOT wait to write more, so expect more updates this week! I really wanted to touch on the other kids, but I got a decent chunk of them covered, so I guess it's okay. But I will clear some things up for you guys:
•Zoë placed first in the entrance exam, followed by Yukino, followed by Kirika.
•Todoroki purposely burned and scarred Zoë's hand, which may lead to permanent quirk damage.
•Momo is divorcing Todoroki, And is taking full custody of the Yukino.
And I'll leave the last few sentences up for interpretation....
Anyways, I love you guys so much! I can't believe we're so close to 30K!!! To celebrate, I'll write a 3,000 word chapter- sound good?? Okay, y'all! Peace out!
Until next time!
🌸✌🏻
UPDATE: Someone asked me to do another book like this with a different ship- I really want to write something similar about The Promised Neverland (Ray x Norman), but if you guys really want another My Hero one, I'll see what I can do! Don't forget, I've already published a KiriBaku Baby Project and a Tododeku One- but just forgive my horrible writing- it sucked back then!!
