Seventy-seven
I feel like he should be saying "Oro?" like Rurouni/Rurōni Kenshin. PS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRISHIMA and to Kenma from Haikyuu!!
I fractured my wrist, and Recovery Girl told me to limit using it for a few days or so for it to heal since it's a small one. Izuku is helping me where he can since my boyfriend blames himself for the injury.
At least there isn't much to do until the Billboard Charts are over. Then I will have a lot more work to do at Dad's agency.
"I swear this can't get anymore boring." I grumble, flipping through the papers I have to fill out at the agency not long after the School Festival. With the death of Nighteye, retirement of All Might and now the disappearance of the Best Jeanist, I am surprised Dad isn't getting inundated with calls for help and what not. I groan, putting the paper off to the side and thump my head on my desk as Neon plays on through my earbuds. I am so not having an agency and torturing any poor sidekick with paperwork. Sitting back up, I sign out of my computer, putting my paperwork to the side, and going out on patrol.
I walk out of the building, taking a deep breath of fresh(er) air before patrolling a few blocks.
The patrol isn't as chaotic as I like, but it's more interesting than a packet that is thicker than a manga volume. So it's something, I make my way back to the agency with little trouble and return to the tattooed tree corpses waiting for me at my desk.
As I enter the lobby, Dad steps out of the elevator. "Just who I was looking for." my father is in more casual clothes, "What is it Dad?" I ask.
"Your brothers are retaking their Licensing Exam today, and I assume you would like to come as well."
I nod my head as I button my shirt up as I shrunk the heal of my boots while I follow my father out the door. This means Inasa is retaking his exam as well. Maybe I will see him as well.
Anyways, I hop into Dad's car and we go to the testing sight. It doesn't take long to get there, but the test has already started. So we wait outside for the examination to be over.
As we wait, I spot a red feather floating by. I grab it and twirl the feather between my index finger and thumb as it struggles to get out of my grasp, I let go now satisfied with a confirmation of the owner. He probably found out from Toya.
Minutes go by along with percentage on my phone from my reading and from waiting. Aizawa and Ms. Joke stopped by and spoke with Dad that I didn't feel like eavesdropping on as I lean against the wall by the entrance. On the plus side, I am the only one crazy enough to wear shorts with snow on the ground.
I can hear President Mic's booming voice, but I can't make out what he is saying. Most likely him being commentator for the exam like it's was meant to be. I don't think Commissioner planned on that.
My book got boring, so did YouTube. But I hear my name called before I could consider hacking or something like that. I look up to see a familiar blob of blondish hair that was not belonging to Bakugo Katsuki. "Mrs. Bakugo how are you?" I ask the woman, standing up. "I told you to just call me Mitsuki, and I am doing well. Hope my brat haven't caused you too much trouble." she replies.
"Nothing I can't handle, just tease him a little like I would my brothers." I smile. I think she knows about Katsuki and my twin "Or worst case scenario I punch him in the face again." I add.
"You have my permission to do so." she laughs before asking how her son is treating my younger brother, me noticing my father's attention being grabbed. "Good from what I can tell, they have been coming together since the majority of us have our work study." I smile. I hear my father clear his throat "Oh, ma'am this is my father, Dad this is Katsuki's mom." I introduce the two. "Nice to meet you Todoroki." the woman says to the pro hero "Just call me Mitsuki."
"Pleasure to finally meet you," my father says before telling the woman to just call him Enji. The two talk, I ignoring, until the doors finally open as the students come out. I wave to my brothers and Katsuki as I see Inasa.
"Inasa!" I call, confusing my classmates but earning a wave and smile from the later as he change his course. "You know him?" Shoto asks surprised. I nod explaining how the Air bender is friend of mine from middle school. "Oh and Toya, I saw a red feather go by." I shrug, I watch oldest of the bunch eyes light up as he thank me for the info. Not realizing that I know, already, who he is dating. Unless Hawks told him that I knew.
I watch a group of children go by, exiting the way that the high school students came as I talk with my friends.
As we talk, I hear a different voice call me, a much younger one, "Azula-san!" I see a fluff of orange hair that I recognize. "Shoyo-chan." I smile crouching down as the little boy comes to me, carrying a sleeping baby the best he could. "What do you got there?" I ask him. "A baby, it was playing with the other kids and I had sat down and it crawled into my lap and fell asleep." he tells me adjusting his hold "Can you help me find its Mommy?" the orangette asks me. I nod before asking to see the baby that is in a grey hoodie, little jeans and a pair of little red high-tops.
Shoyo hands me the baby, getting a better look at the little one.
It's Tenshi. "I know her parents." I tell the boy "Why don't you run along, we don't want you being left behind." I give a Deku smile as the little boy agrees and gives me a goodbye as he runs to his classmates. I stand up, now noticing the slightly weird looks on the boys' faces "What? I met him and his mom on my way to the office." I say to them as Tenshi snuggles against me. "What about that kid's parents? You know them?" Bakugo asks. I laugh "I sure hope so." I angle myself so that they could better see my baby's face. "That's why my bag felt heavier than usual!" Shoto says. Dad walks over, causing three of the four to tense a little, it wasn't Inasa. I motion for Inasa to step off to the side with me, so things are a little less awkward.
"So, how do you think you did?" I ask my friend. "Better I hope." he tells me, "That's good." I smile "I am guessing it involved children." The boy nods and explained their task for their retake that only him, my brothers, Katsuki and Camie took.
"Sounds a little easier than the first time around." I say.
"Not in the beginning but your twin made a playground with his ice." Inasa tells me.
We talked for a little while before I have to return to work with Dad. Shoto takes Tenshi with them, knowing that Izuku would be freaking out by now.
After work
I enter the dorms, still having some energy but like I will be bouncing off the walls.
"Welcome back Azula." Iida greets me. "Hi Iida." I smile "Hope there wasn't too much trouble while I was out."
"There wasn't, thank goodness." he replies, adjusting his glasses.
I go up to my room, walking in on a sleeping father and daughter even though it is only five. I put my stuff down before kissing the two on their heads the starting in on some last minute homework.
Well, more like planning for Christmas, not just for my family and friends but for the rest of the class as well. And some of the staff, I can't forget them! I got the majority on my list checked off, but the remainder of them I can't think of anything.
I groan, closing the tab on my computer. The sad thing is that this is not something I can think about while training.
I hear a knock on the door, which I open to see Recovery Girl. "Hello dearie, is Tenshi here?" she asks me.
"Yeah, she's asleep though." I reply, letting the nurse in as I pick Tenshi up off her father's chest. Making her a little fussy. "Hmm." the baby grunts as I pick her up, mimicked by a sigh from Izuku. I hand Tenshi to the nurse and I sit down on the bed by my boyfriend while Recovery Girl does the check up "Well it seems to me that she is healthy and developing properly." Recovery Girl tells me before asking about my arm. "It hurts occasionally and it's a bit swollen in the morning." the woman nods and hands me my daughter while taking a look at my left hand. "I could heal it with my quirk if you like dearie." I give a shrug "I'm fine either way."
The nurse kiss my hand, causing some of my energy to leave in compensation of being healed right away. "Well I'll be off." the older woman hops out of the desk chair and leaves.
I place Tenshi back on Izuku, the later putting an arm on the baby as he continues to sleep. I on the other hand went back to working on my actual class assignments, not taking long to complete them.
I rub the sleep that is trying to take over out of my eye. I can't sleep yet, I have dinner to cook. I stretch a little before getting out of my chair. For some reason, I stumble a little. She must've healed a little more than just my fracture. I look at my right arm, the last bit of the burn is gone. The scars on my wrist and knuckle are gone too. Not sure how I feel about that. I touch my right eye, that scar is still there.
I go over and place a kiss on my boyfriend's head, only to be pulled into an actual kiss by him. "Glad to see that you are awake." I smile to my boyfriend. "Glad that you were the first thing I see." he replies.
Izuku sits up, still holding Tenshi close to him. "Well I got to go and make dinner for this crazy lot." I say. Izuku nods sleepily and I go downstairs to start cooking.
Time Skippity doo dah
The rice finish cooking just in time for the curry to be done. I just made a simple chicken curry, nothing fancy since I have to go to the Japan Hero Billboard Charts with Dad. Thankfully I don't have to wear something fancy, just my costume will work. "Dinner's ready!" I call into the living room where the majority is, the crowd rushes and in. "Curry?" Sero asks, a bit weary, considering the experience they had.
"Yup and it's not like what we had at camp." I say "Heck, if I knew we were going to have to cook for ourselves then I would've made sure to bring my own ingredients to cook with."
"Wouldn't be surprised if you did little sister." Toya laughs "And it would've taste a lot better too."
"I don't know what you are talking about." Bakugo says "It tasted better with Ice Queen just cooking, because that was some good curry."
"Aw! Thank you Bakugo-kun." I smile as Toya rants a little as we ate.
I finish eating and put my bowl away. "Gotta get ready." I kiss Izu's cheek as he tries to feed Tenshi some of the curry 'broth' from his plate. "Okay, I'll see you later." he smiles at me.
"Where are you going?" Sho asks. I reply with the billboards "Since I'm Dad's top sidekick." before running off to take a quick shower and to change.
After ten point three (10.3) minutes I am changed into my costume and heading to the gates. As I exit the grounds, I see a black limo. Considering I am not the only one going from UA, I am not surprised, but still a fucking limo.
"You're going too Azula?" Midnight asks behind me as I walk to the elongated vehicle, I give my teacher a nod "Second top at my agency." I smile as we climb in. All Might, Aizawa and a few more of my teachers are in the care save it be President Mic. " 'Evening." I say, taking a window seat with an empty seat beside it. "Young Azula, I did not know you would be coming." All Might comments before asking if my brothers are coming too. "Just me, beside I'm the only sidekick of us at the moment." I respond with a smile. The teachers nod as we leave the school, once Mic arrived.
The ride was quiet for me, the teachers talking among themselves and I listen to my music, via headphones, as I look out the window. It must be cold out with the dog on the window, not that I myself really felt the temperature. The car goes silent, causing me to look away from the window and move my headphones to my neck "What's up?" I ask my teachers. "Well, the majority of us are wondering why it's just you, out of your siblings, that is coming." Cementoss tells me. Oh.
"As I told All Might, I am the only one of them that is a sidekick." I am unsure if they know about my 'Work Study'.
"Care to elaborate?" I think Aizawa knows. "Um." such a great start Azula "because Principal Nezu basically convinced Endeavor to hire me as a sidekick since I can't really go Pro until I graduate."
The surprise is evident on majority of their faces. My homeroom teacher is not, guess Nezu BCC him or something.
"At this age? What was he thinking?!" Thirteen says, which he? "To be clear, Dad didn't know that it was me until I walked into his office." I add, them still surprised as we arrive to the Charts.
I spot Dad in his firey costume, surrounded by reporters as I step out of the car, my heels two inches tall. "Mr. Endeavor, who is your number two sidekick and where are they? You said they would be here by now." one asks/says/complains, the hero looking a tad-bit annoyed. He sees me as Dad asks the reporter if they knew what 'patience' means before walking off.
I almost bursted into laughter, I think this is where I get my casual roasts from. Brilliant!
I walk past the media, undetected thanks to All Might, and catch up to my father. "Hiya Dad." I smile once at his side. "Hello Azula." he answers grumply, just leftovers from the media.
I walk to my seat without much words passing between me and the hero; I sit down next to Cell, greeting the sidekick with a "long-time no see" even though I saw her just today. "You seem chipper." she remarks, I shrug "I didn't have any caffeine before I came." Weird right?
Soon the Public Safety Commissioner comes on stage, announces All Might's retirement, Nighteye's death, The Best Jeanist's hastus and so on. I am happy that the Wild Wild Pussycats are working again even though Afro took Ragdoll's quirk.
Then comes the rankings, they don't go through all of them, just the top ten follow by little speeches from them going from ten to one.
Up to Edgeshot, they say how they aren't doing this for popularity but to serve the public. But Hawks takes the microphone and flies up a bit. Keigo says that there is a bit of bullshit in their words, his opinion really, but popularity does play small role in ranking. Along with pointing out what the rankings would be if it was based on popularity alone: Jeanist first, Dad fourth and Hawks skipping the rest.
The, now, Number Two Hero drops before hovering face to face with my father, mic towards pointing toward the later "Now, go ahead, number one hero with lower approval rating than me." he says, I slap a hand on my mouth as Dad snatches the microphone from the younger hero. Damn Hawks, nice job at wooing your boyfriend's father.
"Surprised?" Cell whispers to me as Dad speaks, I shake my head "Trying not to laugh aloud."
"Why is it funny?" she asks. "For one thing, Dad got roasted." I say with a grin.
"And the other thing?"
"Is not for me to say." I smile as the Billboard comes to a close; I check my phone for the time, only 2037 (10:37pm), so not pass curfew.
I find my way to my teacher and ask if I will still be able to get on camo with it pass curfew. "It's not likely." is what I am told. Looks like I have to find a place for the night. "Okay." I say to my teacher before running off to find Dad.
When I find him backstage, the Number One's face is more on fire from anger as he holds Hawks in the air by the latter's collar. "Save me Kiki!" the twenty-two year-old says dramatically once he saw me behind Dad.
I shake my head "Sorry, but you brought this upon yourself." I then smirk "Besides, at least I can hold my ground when I piss someone off with a roast."
Dad sets the bird down before turning to me, less flamey in the face "Why are you back here?" he asks. "To ask if I can stay the night at home. Eraserhead doesn't think I'll be able to get back on campus this late." I answer with my hand claps behind my back as Hawks makes funny faces behind Dad's.
"Alright, I'll be up front in a few minutes." Dad says and walks off somewhere, leaving me with Keigo. "Soo, when are you two going to inform my parents?" I ask, referring to him and Toya. The bird of prey shrugs "Tonight might not be the best time."
"Ya think? If it's any confidence boost, they where fine when Toy came out and with Sho's relationship."
"Thanks for the insight, Azula." Hawks tells me. "Your welcome Keigo." I reply before saying goodbye and going to the front.
"Kiki! Can you answer some questions for me?" a reporter calls, spotting me. Where's a hero when you need them? "Are you your father's number two sidekick?" they asks summoning more.
"How did you feel about what Hawks said about Endeavor?"
"Why are you here? Did your father invite you?" On and on and on with the questions. "Look, I have to go." I say, making my way to my father. At least I can kinda blame my shaking on the cold.
"You know, if you just answer their questions they will leave you alone " My father advise me. "I know, it works 'bout the same if I don't too. Or roast them." I add as a final thought.
"You heard that?" him referring to earlier when I arrived. "Yup! But not too surprising since you're related to me." I smile brightly as we reach the limo that will be taking us home.
To home we go 🏠
"Aaaa." I say, sliding in deeper to the hot spring within the house. This beats a hot bath any day. I had already texted Izuku that I will be spending the night at my house while in the car so he isn't worrying.
I pinch my nose and close my eyes before dunking myself beneath the water and popping back up. This is a better experience than at the Training Camp, I mean I don't have to worry about Mineta trying to take a peek.
I get out of the water, wrapping myself in a towel, and drying off with my quirk before putting a robe on. Nice and toasty! I go to my -er- Sho's room and lay down on the mat, allowing my mind to wonder to all that had happened, mainly during the JP; Hawks comment about Stain partly. Dad mentioned that Hawks wanted to team up on our way home.
As I was thinking, Natsuo walks in. "Natsu!" I say, sitting up "Long time no see." my older brother invites himself in and shuts the door. "What's up?" I ask.
My brother is quiet for a moment before "So do you forgive Dad?"
How the heck did I write almost 3.5k words?!?!?!
Anyways I skipped a lot of the anime and watched the Billboard Charts and the fight in the next episode. Have to say one of my favorite parts is after Hawks mimed zipping his lips after Endeavor's glare, Hawks unzips his lips before interrupting Edgeshot's (I think) speech.
Also, I might've switched somethings up from the original timeline (maybe) and I didn't realize it until I read the manga. Which I am caught up on, already getting ideas for the current manga chapter/arc.
Hoped you enjoyed!!💜
