Chapter 4
Todoroki's POV
We finished eating as Izuku went back to the kitchen and put the used utensils in the dishwasher. Katsuki went back to our room and rested and I was left at the storage room as the children played with the siblings. Sometime, I went out of the room to do some work related to our profession in the living room. Izuku and I talked for a bit as Katsuki joined us and made some food for us to snack on. We can hear them squeal and laugh in the storage room as if they are really having so much fun, it's been four hours and it's already five.
"They sure are noisy." Katsuki muttered as he bit on the sandwich.
"You didn't get to sleep?" Izuku asked. Katsuki shook his head as he sunk on the sofa.
"Nah, I did but only a little." He said.
"Was it about them that you didn't get some rest?" I asked as I looked at him innocently and bit my food. He frowned at me as he nibbled on his food.
"Shut it," He said with no bite. "I'm just not that tired." Of course that's a lie, he's worried.
I hummed and went back to my work.
"Are they not hungry?" Izuku asked as he looked up at the ceiling.
"They're going to be busy with playing, leave them be." Katsuki said.
"But the siblings need to rest, they're wounded." I stated.
"Who's gonna tell the children, then?" Izuku asked. Katsuki and I didn't budge on our seating position as we mind our business.
"We'll wait."
-Timeskip-
It's night, the three of us ate at the dining room while the children ate at the storage room with them, the long table was still there.
After we finished, they also insisted on helping the siblings on taking a bath while Izuku helped Agni because of his bad leg.
I was brushing my teeth in the bathroom downstairs as I stared at my reflection. I can hear noises upstairs as I silently brushed.
"Hey." I looked at Katsuki's reflection as he went and grabbed his brush too. He put some toothpaste and brushed beside me. We stare at each other in the mirror. It's silent.
I blinked as I spit and took my cup full of water to gargle. I did the same again and wiped my mouth with the towel.
"Bye." I said. I heard him snicker as I exited the bathroom. How can we converse if we have something in our mouth? Good grief, that guy.
I went upstairs and met Izuku halfway.
"Hey." He greeted with a cute smile. "They are still in the room." He said.
"Should I go?" I asked, hesitant to enter it when they're having fun.
"Yeah," He chuckled awkwardly. "Please convince them to sleep in their own room, Shoto." He pleaded. I looked up at him as he brushed back some strands of his hair and yawned. I walk up to him and hold his hand to kiss it.
"Okay." I said. He smiled at me.
"Goddamn couple." Katsuki cursed behind us. I sighed as he walked towards us. I looked back at him as he had his brows raised.
"You're my husband too, Katsuki-chan." I muttered and kissed his cheeks. I backed away as his face became red. "I'm going to the storage room." I said and left them there.
I heard Izuku laughing at Katsuki as my other husband cursed and yelled at him to stop. I looked back at them once again and smiled as I entered the storage room.
What I saw was quite a sight, our kids were just chatting with one another telling our guests some story and even showing them their quirks.
Katsumi was doing little explosions, Mizuki had some lightning with green streaks coming off of him, showing that his quirk was activated, and Setsu was making a fire and ice heart. It made me smile knowing that, someday, they could be the next heroes that will protect the city in the future.
I looked towards the teens as they watched them with tired eyes and smiles. Their ears were dropped on the sides of their head. Aouli slightly muffled his yawn as Amaris-san had some bags under her eyes, and Agni seemed out of it as he blinked constantly and yawned.
"Shoto-san." Aouli had said when I entered. Aouli and Mizuki were surrounded by different books.
"Hello." I greeted him.
"Papa, hey." Katsumi said as she walked towards me and pulled at my shirt.
"What is it, Katsumi-chan?" I asked.
"I wanna sleep with Agni-sama!" She said with a wide smile. I patted her head and smiled back.
"You can't, baby girl." I said, she started whining.
"But Papa Shoto!" She said. I sighed and looked towards the teens.
"Is everyone tired?" I asked. Agni nodded his head as he wiped his eyes, Aouli raised his head as he looked at Mizuki and me while Amaris chuckled awkwardly. I think I got an answer based on their droopy reactions.
"Okay kids, you're going back to your own room so that they can sleep soundly." I said. They all protested but when they look towards their friends they all have a sad frown.
"Okay." Setsu declared as she got up. Amaris looked up at her. "Since they are all injured and need a lot of energy, we will leave now." She said and grinned towards Amaris. She just chuckled as Mizuki hugged Aouli and got up.
"Okay, Good night, Aouli-san." He said. Aouli smiled at him and waved.
Katsumi went towards Agni and hugged him too.
"Night, Agni-san!" She said.
"Good night too, Katsumi." He said. They all went towards me as the siblings waved at us. They all mouthed a thanks to me as I just smiled and closed the doors.
"Alright, go to your own room now." I said. They all went to their own door as they said their good nights. I just smiled at them.
"Good night too." I said. They closed their door as I yawned. I looked towards our room going in and seeing Midoriya and Bakugou in bed, I smiled to myself and kissed their foreheads before tucking myself in and letting the darkness welcome me.
Bakugou POV
I opened my eyes as I roamed it in our room. I yawn as I get up and look towards the two who are sleeping soundly. I looked towards the clock to see that it's the middle of the night and got out of the bed.
I exited the room and then my eyes landed on the door of the storage room. It was slightly ajar, I frowned as I walked towards it and peeked inside. I saw the kids sprawled on the ground as they slept. The teens looked comfortable as they also got some rest. I sighed and shut the door completely and went downstairs to grab some water.
If only we had met them in normal circumstances, I wouldn't be so worried out of my mind.
I shook the worries off as I grabbed a bottle in the refrigerator and drinked it. I stare on the window as our backyard looks dark except for some lone light of a firefly. It didn't blink out of it's light as it kept on flying towards our window. I stared at it as it flew near the window and nearly spewed my drink when I saw a floating candle.
"Wha–" I put the drink on the counter as I opened the window and grabbed the floating candle. It didn't have any strings attached to it nor does it have anything on it that it might be some sort of a prank. The fire on the candle didn't even blink out when I grabbed it. I glared at the thing and gripped it hard. This shit is suspicious.
Suddenly the flame flickered and slightly burnt my hand that made me jolt and released it. It then floated backwards and as if it wasn't as weird as it was already, five more candles appeared with it and all six started to move in a circular motion.
I clench my fist as I prepared myself to fight on what might come. In a whirl of flames, a distorted silhouette appeared in the center, it didn't have a face but I could tell that it was staring right at me. It glared and showed its teeth and hissed.
I clenched my fist started exploding as I tried punching the thing. My hands exploded as I punched nothing but air. The thing laughed at me.
"Who the fuck are you?!" I bellowed. It just looks at me in indifference as it starts disappearing. I backed away, annoyed that I didn't get to grab anything valuable that might give any information. With one last glance to me it finally muttered a few words.
"I'm going to take what's mine..." It smirked before disappearing completely.
Everything was still and silent. The candles didn't leave a trace, the silhouette was gone, and the only thing that was left is my frustration and confusion. What the hell was that THING?! Talking about taking back what's mine, that's bull crap. I fumed as I grabbed the bottle and took another drink.
I went into the kitchen to have some breather and a drink but I only had my frustration as I went back to our shared room, passing the storage room without even looking at it. I don't know if I can even sleep from what had happened making me groan in annoyance.
I sunk on the bed and sighed. I thought back on what it said, "what's mine huh?" I mutter slightly to myself, we're gonna have to investigate more into this before anything happens. I stare up to the ceiling.
~Outside the parent's window~
??? POV
Hmmm~ what to do~ what to do? My prize is just right in this house, why am I aren't getting them yet? I stared at the three men in bed and chuckle. Oh, how fun would it be to skin them alive? Or perhaps use them as a sacrifice for my fellow friends? I heard a slight growl from my shoulder that made me smile.
"Patience, my baby~......Patience, you'll get to punish them soon~ Let's just see where this goes..." I coo at my little baby. How I longed and waited to see their faces. I chuckle to myself and disappear into the night.
Time skip to the following day
A bit of 3rd pov and Midoriya's pov
The day was peaceful, after the unexpected events that happened yesterday, it seemed to be more calm or not exactly.
A huge explosion came from the living room and then a loud shriek came after it. Surprisingly, it was a normal routine for the family. Bakugou is arguing with his young girl who wanted to stay home today to take care of the teens. The teens sat on the kitchen table trying to eat some breakfast.
"YADA, I WANNA STAY HERE AND TAKE CARE OF AGNI-SAMA!!!" She yelled while holding the side of the door.
"Let go already!" Bakugou yelled too as he tried to budge Katsumi out of her hold. The little girl had a surprising grip as she screamed at him and they continued having a little fight.
Midoriya shook his head and sighed. He looked towards Mizuki and Setsu who were both ready to go to school. Todoroki fixed his hair as he took a bite on an apple.
"The doctor will come at around 10." Todoroki said, "His name is Naoshi Nino, he's one of our doctors who always treat us when we're wounded." Todoroki then faced them as they looked at him with curious eyes.
"I want to let you know his name so that you'll open the door to him only, got it?" He asked. They all nodded at him.
"That's great." He said with a smile, "Also so that you know it's him, he's got a two brown ram's horn."
"Okay, Shoto-san, we got it." Amaris said with a small grin. Agni was focused on Katsumi's frantic screams which seemed to have gotten louder. Midoriya slightly winced as she continued to scream. Before he could try to apologize for her actions he snickered slightly and quickly covered his mouth, trying not to laugh at Katsumi but he ultimately failed and began laughing hysterically, putting his face on the table seeming like he was about to die.
"Pft, Agni stop it." Aouli said as he also snickered. Amaris looks weirdly at her brothers then back at Midoriya.
"Sorry about that, Deku-san." She said. Midoriya brushes their antics off.
"No, no, it's okay." He said.
"I don't want to go to school!!" Katsumi screamed. Bakugou sighed as he looked towards his husband for help. Todoroki went towards him and tried to soothe Katsumi. Setsu and Mizuki are saying their goodbye to the other siblings.
"Well, we're going now." Midoriya said as he got up from his seat and smiled towards the teens. "Keep the house clean and don't let other people beside Naoshi-sensei enter, okay?" He asked. The three nodded as they waved goodbye to the family.
"Bye, Amaris-san!" Setsu said. Amaris beamed.
"Goodbye, Setsu-chan. Have fun in school!" She said and giggled. Setsu groaned at the mention of her school.
"Okay, I guess." She groaned.
"We're gonna be alright, Katsumi!" Agni called out at Katsumi. She looked back at him as she was carried by Bakugo.
"Are you sure, Agni-sama?!" She asked. Agni nodded and waved at her, it made Katsumi grin and waved back frantically.
"We're gonna be back as soon as possible!" She said.
"Aouli-san, you can look at my room for some books if you're bored, okay?" Mizuki stated. Aouli chuckled as he pat Mizuki's head.
"I will, I will. Especially since my siblings can't really be entertaining." He said.
"Oi!" Amaris and Agni both complained and pouted. Mizuki laughed and bid them goodbyes.
The door closed behind the family as the teens are left with an empty house.
"I guess we'll clean a little before the doctor shows up." Amaris declared.
*
The family of six arrived at Mizuki and Setsu's middle school. It's the same school Bakugou and Midoriya studied in when they were still children. Setsu and Mizuki exited the car as Midoriya opened the window on the shotgun.
"Take care and have fun, okay?" Midoriya asked. Mizuki and Setsu nod that made Midoriya grin.
"Alright, we're gonna drop Katsumi in her school. Bye kids!" He said as he waved and the car drove away. Both of them waved at the car and see it disappear.
Setsu and Mizuki looked towards the school as they both walk inside the gate.
"I wanna go home already." Mizuki grumbled. Setsu smiled weakly as she held onto Mizuki's hand.
"Don't say that." She said, "We're just gonna study fast and all." Setsu tried to sound optimistic but she also itched to go home already.
It's just any other day, it's no big deal. It's just learning and, they guess, failed socializing with their other classmates. Just any other day.
*
Katsumi had a frown on her face as she got out of the car and faced her father.
"Katsumi-chan?" Midoriya asked hesitantly. Katsumi glared at him and scoffed.
"Goodbye, Papa." She said. Midoriya chuckled awkwardly as Bakugou peaked behind Midoriya.
"Okay, Goodbye, princess, give your best in there!" He said. Katsumi furrowed her eyebrows.
"I always give my best, I'm gonna do what's called being more best!" She yelled. Katsuki just smirked at her as Midoriya waved goodbye.
"Is that so, Katsumi, then have fun!" Midoriya said as the car drove away. Katsumi blinked as she marched towards the gate full of pride and confidence.
"Here we go again!" She exclaimed.
*
"Welcome, Mr. Ground Zero, Mr. Shoto and Mr. Deku!" Greeted by the people of their company. Midoriya beamed at them and waved to those who waved at them as both his husband just nodded and walked towards the elevator.
"Sure a lively company we have." Midoriya said as the elevator closed and they were lifted to their office on the top floor.
"It's because of you, Izuku." Todoroki casually said. Midoriya chuckled.
"Oh come on, it's because of you two too!" He said. Todoroki just hummed and smiled towards Midoriya. Katsuki just grunted and looked away to hide his blush.
"We're here!" Midoriya exclaimed as the elevator opened up and then they were greeted by one of their executives.
"Ichinose-san?" Shoto asked. Ichinose has an uneasy smile at him as he take a step back so that the three can enter the hallway.
"Good morning, Sirs. Please come with me to the meeting room. Your secretaries are there too, they are quite busy that's why I'm the one who has to greet you." He said as he lifted his glasses.
"It's okay, Ichinose-san." Todoroki reassures as Ichinose leads them towards the meeting room.
"What's wrong?" Izuku asked.
"There was an accident last Sunday inside our vicinity. It's near your residence, sirs." Ichinose said, "The secretaries are trying to get some pictures and videos on what happened and so far, we can't seem to get any decent information except the huge mess it made." He furrowed his eyebrows as he brushed some strands of his slick back black hair, it did nothing and still fallen back in place.
"We didn't hear anything though." Katsuki said.
"Well, there was some severe hail that's why nobody but the place it happened to, heard the commotion." He said. They arrived at the meeting room as Ichinose opened it and saw the three secretaries crowding the printer as it continued printing.
"They're here." Ichinose said as he entered the room and the three followed suit.
"Ah Good morning, Sirs!" Handa, Midoriya's secretary, greeted and bowed.
"Hey," Midoriya greeted and looked at the printer. "What's there?" He asked as Handa lifted his head and looked towards his co-workers.
"Some pictures of the incidents that happened yesterday, sir." He answered.
"Is it done?" Shoto asked as he walked towards his assistant. Once the printing is finished his secretary hands it to the pro heros, they look at it in disbelief, there were three blurred out beasts that had escaped to what seems like a truck that was probably transporting them. It caught them off guard at how unfamiliar the two beasts. The one they are familiar with looks massive to be declared as a normal one. The damage around the place was destructive. Luckily, no one was around, otherwise there would have been a lot of injured people by the looks of it.
"As you can see there are three beasts in the picture. We don't know what was the purpose of the transportation nor why these beasts don't seem to be a regular ones." Tsubasa, Bakugou's assistant, said and gave some copies to his boss.
"Probably exotic." Handa suggested, "We have some footage on what happened during the hail storm, too. Yukimura-san, would you please show them." Handa requested as Yukimura went to retrieve the laptop. It has an unplayed video as Yukimura clicked it and the video starts playing.The video came to a CCTV near the residence area. The video has no sounds and only offers the visuals.
The footage shows an upcoming truck entering it's perspective. Suddenly, the back exploded as the vehicle swerved and hit a lamppost. Flames erupted from the hole the explosion had managed to destroy. A creature flew outside, two of them to be exact, another one leaped out and landed on the asphalt. It lifted its head as if it was discerning the place. The video starts to have some glitches in it as the creature with red feathers fly down to it and breathes fire. It burns the truck to a melting point as the door to the drivers side open and comes out a burning person. The person tried to get the flames out by rolling but they then lay motionless. The video glitches out as the flames lick it and shows nothing.
The three pro heroes had a grim look on their faces. Ichinose and the three secretaries waited for them to say something. They are uneasy, three beasts are out there and they don't know where they are. Todoroki closed his eyes as he sighed. He opened them and looked towards Yukimura.
"Who is investigating the place?" Todoroki asked him.
"The police are there, we also sent one of our regulars since it happened inside the company's protective vicinity. They will be back once they get another information about the incidents." Yukimura said. Todoroki thanked him as he faced his husbands.
"What do you think?" He asked them. Midoriya furrowed his eyebrows as he held his chin and got deep into thought. Bakugou sighed as he looked at the pictures on his hand.
"They looked like villains." Katsuki guessed, "It burned the fucking driver, Shoto." He pointed out. Todoroki grimaced as he remembered it and shook the image away. He looked towards Midoriya for some answers.
"Well, they are too huge to be in that small truck." He stated, "They could have transformed once they flew and leaped out of it." He said.
"That made sense." Todoroki agreed.
"They are being transported, right?" He asked the secretary trio and they all nodded. "That means, the way they act violent just to escape, the transportation is against them." He said as he looked at the video and started playing it again. Todoroki looked away and just stared at the pictures.
"They're victims then." Bakugou said as he, too, watched it again.
"Yes, yes, you got it, Katsuki-chan." Midoriya beamed. Katsuki clicked his tongue. He covered his face with his hand as he grumbled.
"That's a good deduction, Izuku." Todoroki praised. Midoriya blushed and rubbed his nape.
"Everyone can solve that, Shoto." He said. Shoto smiled at him and faced their secretaries and Ichinose.
"We're going to handle this, Ichinose-san." He said. "It might be a big case and I don't want our people to get hurt or something worse." Ichinose sighed and adjusted his black rimmed glasses.
"If you say so, Shoto-san." He said. He ordered the three to call the employe who was in the incident to go back to the company building as soon as possible. The three went out as Ichinose gathered the information about the incident in the table.
"These are the only ones that they have gathered. The others from that place might get back with more info." Ichinose said as he put them in a folder and handed them to Shoto.
"Please, feel free to order us. We will do our best to assist you in this investigation." Ichinose said as he smiled sadly. "We don't want you to get in an accident and you're kids wouldn't want that." Todoroki smiled and nodded.
"We can handle this but we'll definitely ask for help if needed." He said and Ichinose bowed then excused himself.
