Chapter 96
Ray's POV - The Next Day
I wake up to my alarm and I grumble softly as I turn it off. "Okaaayyy." I whine softly and I get up as Katsu huffs.
"Come back." Katsu whispers.
I kiss Katsu good morning, making him smile for a second. "I can't. I have to take Missy on her morning walk." I whisper and Katsu snorts softly.
I grab a pair of black leggings, a white t-shirt and my Endeavor coat. I get dressed in Katsu's bathroom. I brush my teeth and I put my hair up into a pony tail since it's not gonna cooperate today if I tried to brush it out.
I take Missy up to my room and I get her harness and her leash and I put them on her.
We then head downstairs and Shinso is waiting for me.
Shinso yawns as I walk outside. "It's cold." I cringe and Shinso nods.
We go on our run as Missy runs beside us, and then we do a ten minute walk to cool down while Missy uses the bathroom.
"Are you and Aizawa still not talking?" Shinso asks as we walk.
"I tried, last night in therapy. Cameron brought Dad in, with my consent, and I explained my side, but he was really quiet, so it put me in panic mode and I had to leave." I say to Shinso who nods.
"At least you tried." Shinso reminds me and I nod.
We get back to the dorms and I make breakfast for the both of us, and we eat while going over homework.
"Why are you two up so early?" Mina whines as she gets down here.
"Because we got up early." I say as Missy finishes eating and she sits under my chair.
Me and Shinso finish breakfast. "We should take Eri out this weekend." Shinso says as he helps me clean up.
"Sounds fun, but I don't think I'm going to have time this weekend, Katsu's Mom wants us over on Saturday because she wants to take us out shopping, and then Sunday I have to go and wait with Peter for my Aunt and Uncle to get back from their vacation." I say to Shinso who nods.
"Anything Friday?" Shinso asks me.
I look at my calendar. "Nope. We can try and take Eri out on Friday, just have to get permission from the teachers." I say to Shinso who nods.
"Try and set something up for Kota and Eri if you can. The two seem to like each other." Shinso says to me.
"Ok." I say and I set a reminder to call Mandalay tomorrow.
"Can I come?" Izu asks he joins us.
Shinso nods. "The two kids seem to like you." Shinso says to Izu.
Izu grins. "Great. I've been wanting to hang out with Eri and Kota." Izu says with a grin.
I smile amused. "What about me?" I ask Izu.
"I suppose." Izu teases and I roll my eyes amused.
"Ok. Friday after school, is there any movies or out door showings that children might like?" I ask and the three of us look it up.
"Encanto came to theaters, maybe they'll want to watch that?" Izu suggests.
"It did? I've been waiting to see that myself." I say as I look that up.
"Encanto?" Shinso asks confused.
"It's a Disney movie that I've been trying to keep posted with, I wanted to take Adrian and Hugo to go see it." I say and Shinso looks up the movie.
"You could probably take them soon, since don't you babysit them on Wednesdays?" Izu asks me.
"True. I'll ask Aunt May when they get back." I say and Izu nods.
"Alright. I will see you later." Shinso says as he gets up.
I look at the time and I need to get going soon. "I gotta get going soon. Alright, see ya." I say to Shinso who nods and leaves.
"Are you excited for Kacchan's test?" Izu asks me.
"He'll pass, without a doubt." I say and Izu nods with a grin.
"DAMN NERD!" Katsu yells as he stops into the dining area.
Izu goes to talk with Katsu and I watch the two with a smile.
Izu then races off to find someone and Katsu walks over to me. Katsu kisses me good morning and I smile.
"Kick ass today." I say to Katsu who smirks.
"I fucking will." Katsu says and I get up. "You better kick ass." Katsu says to me.
"Always do." I say and I leave Missy with Katsu and I go to my room.
I get dressed in a pair of jeans and a My Chemical Romance Band Shirt. I put my Endeavor Agency coat on and I grab my ear muffs and my gloves.
I put on my boots and I grab my bag. I take my phone and I head downstairs.
I kiss Katsu goodbye and I head out.
I head to the train station and I wait for my train.
"Is that Cascade?"
"Careful, she may lash out at us."
"But she's like super nice."
"No she isn't, didn't you hear the pros? Or that one kid on the news?"
"Oh my god, it's that kid on the news."
I glance up from my phone to see Matthew. "Ugh." I cringe slightly as Matthew walks over to me. "Never mind on taking the train today, might as well walk." I say to myself as I walk away from Matthew who follows me.
"Everyone, she got me kick out of U.A.!" Matthew announces as he points to me.
"You reap the consequences of your own actions. You decided to turn the adults against me and tried to get me kicked out. And sullied my reputation which I have to fix now, thanks for that. And on top of that, you used your quirk to brainwash the teachers into thinking I'm the bad guy, when I had full intentions on making nice with you when we first met. I do not feel like being the bad guy, but if I have to announce to the news of my side of the story, I will." I say to Matthew and he tchs. "I have several people backing me, do not test me today, I am not in the mood for you to fuck my reputation up worse." I say to Matthew as I look back at my phone.
"Woah, what happened?" Mt. Lady asks surprised as she follows me.
"Not really anyone's business. It's just a school thing." I say as I walk.
"That's no fun. Your Cascade, come on, people would devour your issues." Mt. Lady pouts.
"That's exactly what I don't want to happen. The less attention I have on the media right now, the better, I do not need them up my ass." I say as I text Inferno that I may end up late.
Matthew attacks me and I easily pin him to the wall.
"Stop trying. Do not make things worse for yourself." I say to Matthew who tchs. "Just be glad I didn't take what happened as far as it have possibly gone, because you really fucked up my life in less than five days." I say to Matthew as I let him go.
"Why couldn't you have just given up and let me be in the hero course?" Matthew asks me pissed.
"Cause I worked to be in the hero course. You were aiming for me to get expelled. I am trying to be a hero. You were trying to manipulate everyone into thinking you were a hero." I say to Matthew who tchs.
"I would be a far better hero than you!" Matthew says to me pissed.
I stare at him blankly. "Ok, and the way you went about it was the wrong way, had you stayed at Shiketsu, you would have become a hero, but you came and tried to fuck with my life, and I don't take that lying down. Just like the Villain attacks, and with Randy, and the same with Over Haul. You want to fuck with someone's life, your going to get caught. I am trying to protect people, your just trying to use them." I say to Matthew as the media surrounds us.
"She's lying." Matthew says pissed.
I pull up his interrogation on my phone and I play it for the media and I see everyone watch in shock. "Tell me I'm wrong when I have several witnesses saying I'm right. Stop fucking with my reputation and my life, how am I supposed to save people if they are scared of me?" I ask Matthew as I pull my phone back and I put it in my pocket as I watch the media talk about this recent news.
I get a call and I answer it, it's Endeavor.
"Why are you proving yourself on the media?" Endeavor asks me.
"Technically, I was minding my own business, then the media surrounded me, so I showed them the truth." I say to Endeavor over the phone as I walk away.
"Are you going to be able to get away from the media? Or do I need to come get you?" Endeavor asks me.
"I'll be fine." I say and I hang up.
"Who was that Cascade?" A reporter asks me.
"That, was Nunya." I say to a reporter.
"Who's Nunya?" The reporter asks confused.
"None ya business." I say as I walk.
I manage to shake the media and I head to the Endeavor Agency where a lot of pros are gathering in the meeting room.
I put on my mask as I walk in while scrolling through the news.
"Oh thank God." Inferno says as she takes up my side.
"Hi." I say as I give her a small wave.
"Cascade, your late." Combustion says with a disapproving tone.
I show him the news of what happened at the train station. "I had to skip my train ride." I say and I put my phone away.
"You avoid public confrontation like it were the plague." Combustion says to me annoyed.
"Well unfortunately for me, my reputation has been sullied, so now I have to fix it." I say to Combustion.
"Poor baby." Inferno says as she pets my head.
"Media." I cringe and Inferno smiles amused by that.
I get handed a folder and I read the case over for a moment and I walk over to the map and I circle the areas the crime unit may be hiding.
Endeavor watches and he studies the circles. "Cascade, Combustion and Burnin, you three will go through section 2, go to section 4 if section 2 is clear." Endeavor says to us.
"Ok." I say and Burnin cheers as she jumps on Combustion who grimaces.
Endeavor takes other sidekicks and he places them at other spots.
Eventually we head out and I'm quiet as I walk through downtown.
"Cascade, your like, totally cool." Burnin starts and I hold my hand up, stopping her.
"Shh." I say to her and I cover her mouth as she tries to talk.
I hear talking around the corner and I zone in on it.
"Bro, we should totally kidnap that student hero, Cascade, she's totally hot, and would please the boss."
"Totally."
I continue to listen to their conversation and I get the location of their hideout.
I text Endeavor all the hideouts, quickly and then I put my phone away.
Burnin and Combustion look ready to jump, but I'm just waiting.
I continue to gather information about their group and I record it with a recording box.
Combustion watches me and he follows my lead and waits and listens.
The group eventually rounds the corner and they see the three of us.
"Oh no."
I capture them easily and I force them to sit down and I tie them to a lamp post as Combustion takes their communication devices.
"We totally botched that."
"Totally."
I sigh. "Idiots." I say as I get up.
"Where should we go first?" Burnin asks me.
"Can, you try and get on the same wave link?" Combustion asks her annoyed as I look to see Endeavor read it.
"Let's just make a clean sweep, Endeavor is on the other side, we'll meet in the middle." I say and Combustion nods.
"You know I'm like older and I should be leading the group?* Combustion asks me.
"Oh I'm so sorry your highness, shall I also roll a red carpet where you walk and provide clean shoes if you step in dog poo?" I ask Combustion who gets annoyed by that while I smirk. "Let's go your Highness, there's a jester waiting to get his butt kicked." I say as I walk away.
We make a clean sweep and meet with Endeavor.
"She's annoying." Combustion says to Endeavor as he points in my direction.
"I'm sorry I've offended you, your highness, I'll go jump off a bridge." I say to Combustion in a mockery tone and Inferno smiles amused by that.
"How long have you been keeping this up?" Inferno asks me.
"Basically almost the whole time. He made a comment about being older and saying he should be leading the team, so the remarks have been ceaseless." I say to Inferno amused and she nods.
"CASCADE!" Combustion yells at me.
"You called your highness?" I ask him amused.
"Oh my god." Combustion says annoyed as he rubs his temple.
"Cascade." Endeavor warns and I pout slightly.
I get a call on my phone and I pull out my phone to see it's Gran Torino.
"Hmm." I hum softly and I answer it as I step away. "What's up?" I ask.
"We made a break in the case about Kurogi." Gran Torino says to me.
I watch the sky scrapper for a minute. "Ok? Shouldn't you be telling Dad or Principal Nezu?" I ask.
"We may need your quirk to question him here soon, Aizawa had a difficult time talking to him earlier." Gran Torino says to me.
I notice something off about the sky scrapper. "I'll come by later, I need to see something." I say and I end the phone call.
"Cascade?" Inferno asks confused.
I race towards the building and Combustion follows.
I race up the side of the building using water platforms, and I catch a guy who jumped off the side of the building. I turn mid-jump and I use my water to catch me and I get down safely.
"Why won't you just stop humiliating me?"
