One Hundred and Fourteen
Relatable.
"You seem very confident about the first years' abilities to do this mission, Quirkless Queen." Snipe remarks. I give a slight nod "They have more experience than most of their peers both now and in years past, I can assume with how popular the UA students are with the League."
"I'd say they're pretty good." Toga says, Dabi nods in agreement. "Besides," I add "only a handful will be on the front lines, as I have said before, they are going to be more in charge of evacuating the nearby town."
"You have this all planned out then." Gran Torino says.
"For the most part, just the start of the ambush, what I will be doing and some of the what ifs. Even then not everything will have the safe guard of going to plan."
Nana's sworn friend nods as Dad looks through the new folders that I gave everyone "I don't see why you decided to print all of this out when you could've emailed them to us." he says. "Easy," I say "it would be too much of a hassle to personal go back myself into the emails of everyone here and make sure that their emails are secure. Then make sure all of their devices are secure." I then shrug "Besides it also easier for someone to add in any additional notes." Very tempted to remind him about how he didn't want me to hack into his phone.
"Okay Boomer." Toya mumbles, "I am not Bakugo, Dabi." I eye roll "Besides, I'm younger than you, so stop whining."
"I'm not whining! I'm calling it like it is."
"That I am smarter and more mature than you?" I smirk. "She got you there Dabi." Aizawa says. "Ty Lee one," Toga says as Hawks finishes "Dabi zero."
My father chuckles softly at our antics. Yeah we're acting childish, it helps us stay a little sane during the various meetings.
"Any questions?" I ask, majority shakes their heads. But "How can we be sure that we can trust you three?" Edgeshot asks, referring to Toya, Toga and I. I wonder why it took about a week for this question to come up. "I mean, to be fair, you three are A-rank and S-rank villains." Wood adds.
"S-rank?" Dabi asks "Who the hell is the S-rank?"
"According to Slip 'n' Slide, me." I tell my brother "As for your question Edgeshot; with all technicalities and considering who we are, you guys have all right not to trust us based on the generic information given."
I notice Dad shrug slightly, "Well for starters," Toya says "I haven't killed since April or so and I am fucking engaged to a hero and there is no way in hell I would let anything happen to 'em."
"Why didn't you tell me that you were engaged?!" Toga gasps, "Because I don't have to Vampire Bitch."
"Why else would he give command to someone?" I ask Toga "To get some di-"
"I will slap you if you continue that line Ty Lee." Dabi growls, pointing a finger at me. "Loosing your bite huh?" I smirk as Hawks trys not to burst out laughing from the looks of it. "Shut it." he growls back, oh it's fun teasing my Onii-chan. "Anyways," Toga giggles "I have been spying on the League since April and only killed when I am ordered to."
"As for me," I say as I tap my chin "well honestly if I was an actual villain everyone here could be dead by now." I shrug "Depending on my mood of course." I smile sweetly.
"Not helping your case Sis." Toya says beside me. "I trust them." Hawks says, Dad sighs "I agree with Hawks on this one." Keigo gets a twinkle in his eyes and gasps "Really?!"
I place my left hand under the table as I notice the ice slightly starting to form on it, hopefully no one noticed that fact. "Anyways," I say "I am a hero, Edgeshot, so you would have nothing to worry about." I feel more frost beginning to form on my left wrist now, why the hell am I on edge? I ask myself while I ask aloud if there are any other things that need to be brought up. There isn't so everyone starts getting ready to go back to whatever they would normally be doing at this time of day, "See you later Ty-chan!" Toga smiles before rushing out of the room. I gather my things, lunch will be in about fifteen minutes or so. I should be able to complete my afternoon classes then today. "Hey," Toya place a hand on my shoulder "you okay Sis?" he must've notice the cold air coming off me. Or at least my hiding of my left hand "Yeah, I'm fine." I tell him "Just a lot to take care of."
"You know you aren't alone in this Zu." Toya says softly, "I know that To." I tell him even though I kinda am. He got his fiancé who knows, but my boyfriend doesn't. "Come here." he pulls me into a hug "I know what ya going through. At least this will be over sooner rather than later."
"Yeah." I mumble hugging back. I still can't help but feel alone in this, yeah Toya was probably dating Keigo while Toy was still leading the VAS and kept most of it a secret. But Izuku has no idea what I am doing, neither does Shoto and Katsuki.
"Let's go and get us some lunch." Toya suggests. "Sure." I answer him "I don't think Dad would mind if we change in the locker rooms."
A few days later
I thump my head on my arms after work. The stress of the attack, school and undercover work getting to me and me almost loosing my cool quite a few times. My sleeping habits worst than they ever been, from what I remember, along with my eating habits!
"Azula?" Iida says, I am at the island in the kitchen, "Are you feeling alright?"
I lift my head up and smile at my classmate "Just peachy Iida." I already know that he doesn't believe me, considering he probably just saw me thumping my head.
"You do not seem so." told ya "You have dark circles under your eye and you haven't been eating as much as you usually do [cue author's stomach growling], the only thing that I can assume that is still normal is your grades."
"Just got the mission on my mind Iida. Nothing I can't handle." I shrug slightly. "Are you sure?" the class rep asks, I nod saying that I will be fine.
"Well if you ever need anything be assured that you can always come to me."
"Thanks Iida, I'll keep that in mind." I reply as he walks away.
"Azula!!" Hagakure calls before I am tackled by the invisible girl, "What's up?" I ask as the other girls come over "All the girls are going out," Mina says "and we want to know if you want to come."
"Sure." I answer immediately, I'm already changed "Let me grab my shoes and I will meet you outside." I rush upstairs to grab my black high tops and my wallet before going back down.
"Where are we going?" I ask as we step off campus, "To the mall, duh!" Mina answers as we walk to a bus stop, "Helpful, which one?" I eye roll.
There's shrugs from the group, sigh Kiki to the rescue. "Looks like it's my choice then." I sigh, as much as I want to pay Ryku a visit, I don't have a beanie on "Yaoyorozu, do you want to call us a ride? I know a mall but it's kinda far."
"I will be happy to." the vice-rep smiles before pulling out her cell phone to make the call, "Where are we going Azula?" Uraraka asks. "To a mall, duh." I answer as Momo tells us that her driver will be here soon.
"Meany." Ura says, "This isn't the meanest thing I've done." I say as I spot a limo driving our way.
I write the address of the mall on a paper as the elongated vehicle stops in front of us. "Thank you." I say to the driver as I get in.
"What's the address Azula?" Momo asks, I hand her the paper and she gives it to the driver. "Why aren't you telling us which mall we're going to?" Jiro asks, "Because it's a surprise." I answer, looking out the window. "Is it a good surprise?" Tsu asks, I shrug "Yes, I mean it's a mall."
"Why the shrug then?" Ashido inquires with a point. I smirk "That would ruin the surprise then." I'm lucky that Hawks told me about this mall, hopefully I won't get exposed as a full fledge hero before the JP in the spring/summer to my peers.
After the drive, we arrived at the large shopping center with security standing by the door. "Are you sure this is the right place Azula?" Mina asks as I get out, "Yup." The girls follows suite as Momo tells the driver that she will call when we need to be picked up.
I walk confidently up to the door, my hero license in hand. "This isn't open to the public ladies." the guard says, "Told ya." Mina says behind me.
"They're with me." I reply calmly, showing him my license. He look at the licence then back at me and my group "Sorry for the mistake Miss. Kiki." he bows his head before letting us in.
"What was that about?" Hagakure asks, "This is a hero mall." I answer as I put the license away "That way Pro's can do their shopping without dealing with the publicity."
"How did you learn about this place?" Uraraka then asks, "Hawks." I answer before adding that everything should be the same price as the other malls, if my source is correct.
Everyone split off to the various stores, I just wonder around seeing what type of stores there are and getting a feel of the place. Too bad I can't find a Naki's Quirkless Defense here, but it wouldn't do too well with this being a hero mall. I enter a Toys-R-Us, to see if there is anything for Tenshi that I can get while I'm out. I walk down the racks of children needs and wants, nothing catching my eye.
So I leave the store, going over to the bench by a fountain and sit down. I wasn't the only one with this idea. An older woman, we older than me, with sea-green hair comes over and sits down beside me. I start scrolling my Insta feed, lots of pictures of my daughter from Sho's private Instagram page for her, as I wait for any signs of my peers. "So you're the girl who broke the record." she says to which I answer "To get Endeavor to smile? 'Cause that would be my daughter."
The woman waves her hands "No no no, I mean Hawks's record of being the youngest hero." she says, making me blush a little. "Oh," I say "that would be me then." She asks me what brought me here and I explain that my female classmates wanted to go shopping "They didn't have a mall in mind and since I didn't feel like dealing with the media I choose here out of a suggestion from Hawks."
"You've actually met Hawks then?" she asks. "Met is an understatement." I reply.
"How so?" she tilts her head. "Let's just say I've ran into him quite a few times during and outside of work." I say, unsure if he would appreciate it if I say anything about his relationship status.
"Really?" she says "And he doesn't annoy you?" I scoff slightly "No more than an older brother would." I mean it's true, he does act like an older brother towards me for sure. Sometimes more than Toya since my brother had to play dad for awhile, at least they aren't terrorizing my boyfriend.
"Well, he is young enough to be one." she notes. I hum in agreement, leaning back a bit. "I'm guessing the term so far has been an interesting one for you." the woman says, I give a shrug "The whole year is more like it. I still can't believe that it's past my birthday already."
"Time tend to fly when you're having a good time." [or when the author is lazy and puts a time skip]
"I guess so."
"There you are Azula!" I turn to see Uraraka coming over to us. "Hi Uraraka," I greet her "is everyone ready to go?" the woman I was talking to left.
"Almost, we just need to find Jiro." the brunette tells me, "Have you texted her?" I ask standing up and stretching a bit.
"Not yet." Ura tells me before I see her eyes light up "There she is! JIRO!"
I turn and wave at the purple haired girl.
Baku the dorm's
We return with arms full of bags for some, mine empty since I didn't buy anything but I might go back there on my own. "Welcome back ladies." Kaminari greets us. My mind can't help but wonder to the invasion plans, I already know what lies ahead for all of my peers according to the plans in March.
I let out a slight huff, I can worry about that later. Right now, I should live in the moment.
Right?
