A/N: Danger lurks at every corner

--------------------------------------------------------

It was Taishiro that you saw outside. It must have been him that you texted. Lucky you.

"What's up Y/N? You're okay? You said you don't like to drink." He was concerned and so were you. It was true that you don't like to drink any kind of alcohol. Your incubator used to be more violent when she had drinks and your rapist mellowed out and was much more patient and gentle. It was still horrible and didn't make it any better, you still wanted him to die but, you preferred when he was drunk because what he did never hurt. You shuddered hard at the memory feeling bile mixed with the food you ate earlier come back up.

"I don't. I need something." You didn't like that you thought alcohol was your answer. Shit who knows what you actually need. Maybe you need a partner? Boyfriend? Girlfriend? Drinks? Friends? Need to fight? Sleep? Hugs? Attention? You were so starved of everything that you just don't know.

"What do you really need?" He was holding your hand as the two of you walked. He waved occasionally at people who recognized him and ignored their questions his focus mainly on you. "You look like you need a hug." You do, you really do. What you weren't expecting was for him to pick you up and cradle you with one arm. There weren't many people that can cradle you in their arms.

"W-what are y-you-" You were enjoying it and fell silent when he shushed you.

"You look stressed out, more than normal. I don't know what happened but, my agency isn't far from here. We are going to go there and we can eat, drink and go from there. I don't care what no one thinks they can mind their business. You're important right now." You felt your cheeks get hot snuggling more into his warmth. It was nice. He was soft and warm. You didn't even realize that you had fallen asleep until you were shaken awake gently. "Darling, wake up."

"Hmmm." You blinked your eyes wearily noticing you were on a couch and his sweater was used as a blanket for you. You stretched letting out a screech before turning to him and raising an eyebrow. He wasn't in his low-fat form but he was somewhere in between. "Were you like that before?" He nodded his head.

"Yeah, right before I got your text a villain with an explosion quirk got a little angry but, I knocked him out before he can cause serious damage." Nodding again you snuggled some more into the couch with his hoodie.

"What time is it?" He looked at the clock.

"It's 2 PM you didn't nap long. I have some food and wine if you're up to it." Food and wine were sounding good right about now. You sat up still holding on to his hoodie. You walked over to his makeshift table and sat right on his lap. You didn't care, the other chair was too far and he's comfortable. "Here's your order." He didn't seem bothered by you sitting there so you had nothing to worry about. The two of you sat in comfortable silence eating away as you mulled over what transpired. You were angry at Lisvette but more pissed at the Incubator. Lisvette's anger was misplaced and was trying to take it out on you which is exactly what the incubator wanted. She wanted to pit her children against you so she can have more ammo and try to ruin you like she's been doing for most of your life. You wouldn't allow it though. You weren't about to ride on a horse and have a heart-to-heart with Lis, she still had to apologize but, maybe after the apology the two of you can start over.

"I went to go see my siblings." He froze a bit but didn't say anything. "I'm the oldest of six...the incubator treated them the way a mother is supposed to treat her children so I never had to worry...it was only me she hated and hurt along with my rapist aka their uncle." You heard him take a deep breath squeezing the metal spoon until it bent. "I met Izumaru again first close to two months ago I think, then I was going to meet the twins Himanaru and Michelle while the two youngest Michael and Lisvette were supposed to be at school but apparently everyone forgot it was half a day... As you can predict, things got awkward but Himanaru broke the ice and we all were getting along okay except for Lisvette. She hates me. The incubator warped her mind and placed so many lies about me that she genuinely believes them."

"I don't understand how anyone can believe everything that you went through is your fault." You shook your head. You used to think it was your fault but therapy helped you with that. You still had a random thought like that but, it was normally squashed before it can be planted in your brain.

"She said some things she shouldn't have, Michelle put her in her place and they all ended up crying and hugging me. We sat on the floor for a while before I left. That's when I texted you, I didn't know it was you but I'm glad it was." You were biting your lip hard paying no mind to the light trickle of blood. Taishiro noticed though.

"Stop that." You looked up at him jumping a bit when he gently tugged your lip from your teeth. "It's just me I am not going to hurt you." He grabbed a napkin and gently cleaned the blood discarding the napkin.

"You're really a sweetheart you know that." He blinked smiling softly at you. He started rubbing your hair scratching gently.

"That means a lot to me." You smiled softly enjoying the gentleness he used on you. You never knew gentleness until you met everyone. You thought it was weird, strange, or foreign. You always thought you were only meant to have pain, only know pain, and live in pain. You never thought one day you would receive the gentleness you craved, let alone from heroes. They all were sweet to you, gruff in their own ways but sweet and gentle in their own way.

"Do I deserve to be happy?" You didn't know where you were going with this. You weren't thinking so hard. You were so tired of doing that. "Am I selfish for wanting to be happy? I spent my whole life just trying to live one more day, one more hour even...I left at 18 already fresh in therapy and anger management. I was so angry. I wanted to kill her, kill him, kill my siblings for being happy but I knew I needed help. That's why I left and it took me 3 and a half years to get my first apartment and everything I have now. I used to use cafes and coffee shops to upload stories online at first doing odd jobs. A lot of jobs I wasn't proud of. I finally got lucky when I bumped into a millionaire who felt sorry for me - at least I thought- and offered to help me with a price. I did it. I was his little whore but he paid me good and with that money I was able to get my first apartment and all the equipment to work for myself. Never wanted to depend on anyone for anything ever again." You rambled sinking more into his chest wanting to hide.

"....You deserved none of that...I know you don't need pity, any of that...but, I'm so sorry." He wrapped both his arms around and rested his head on top of yours. "You deserve the world. You deserve so much happiness." You took a breath trying to hug him as much as you can yourself. The two of you sat their food left untouched. You know you can't change the past but, telling someone, anyone who will listen helped you to feel better.

"I don't think I need no liquor." He chuckled lightly at that but, not loosening his hold on you.

"I wish I can take away all your pain, take away everything and just make sure your mind was healthier." He had such good intentions. He's such a gem. Whoever his future partner will be is going to be lucky.

"You know, I wouldn't change anything. I wouldn't have three beautiful children and have so many friends and have such good relationships with heroes." He mumbled something that sounded like 'more' and 'friends'. "What did you say?" He shook his head.

"Nothing important." You grumbled but didn't press the matter. He was going to tell you one day even if it killed him. "Do you feel better?" Did you? You thought about it realizing you did. You honestly did. He helped you just by being his-self and letting you vent.

"I feel a lot better...Thanks, teddy." He reminded you of a giant teddy bear with how soft and cozy he was. He hummed squeezing you tight for a few before letting go completely. You gently moved from his embrace standing on wobbly legs thanking him as he held you until you got your bearings. "You're a gem Taishiro. Whoever you plan on being with is going to be a lucky person." You smiled at him ignoring the weird feeling in your stomach. He gave you a look you didn't understand before he looked away.

"I think it'll be the other way around." He looked at you the entire time he said this before turning back to the food. You stretched one more deciding to just head back home. You had a draining day and it's 3 PM already. "Do you need me to walk you home?" he was about to get up but, you stopped him.

"I'll be fine Taishiro. You already did so much for me. I'm not worth all the trouble." He gave you a steely gaze making you shut up.

"You're always worth it, don't you dare say otherwise." You blinked before rubbing the back of your neck.

"...Maybe one day I'll believe you but, I will take your word for it." With that said you waved to him and left his office going to exit his agency.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You made it back home stripping as soon as you walked in and heading straight for the bathroom. You needed a long soak. All your stuff was already in there so you grabbed your phone placed it on the closed toilet seat, set up the tub, and slowly got in sinking down with only your head and tail poking out. You took a deep breath letting the hot water seep into your skin to soothe your aching and tense muscles. It was a long day, emotional really. Soft music played from your phone as you soaked and washed gently. It was much needed and once you were done you got out drying yourself out, putting some loungewear with a robe on. It was really soft and felt nice against your skin. You left the bathroom and began dinner so it'll be ready when your babies got home. It felt like you did so much today and it wasn't even 4 PM yet. That was crazy. About an hour later when all you had left was to cook the rice you got a phone call. Not bothering to look at the ID you answered.

"Y/N baby~" You recoiled so fast and hard that you hit your head against the stove top with the light and fan. "I didn't know you'll be this excited" You blanched wanting to know how he got your number.

"How the fuck you got this number? Aren't you in jail?" You heard chuckling on the other end which wasn't good. This wasn't good. "ANSWER ME YOU FUCK!"

"Patience my darling. Patience is an important virtue...You didn't think the police could actually keep me in, did you? All Might might have done a number on me but, I have more than one trick up my sleeve." Where was he going with all of this? "A little fly on the wall told me about you and I did some research and a friend of a friend gave me your number. Don't worry my sister doesn't have it. I'm a little too selfish for that." You don't know if you should scream, cry or vomit. "You've hurt my feelings though. Why would you fight me? I just want to love you." You completely gagged at that coughing.

"You want to rape me. There is nothing consensual about anything you want to do." He chuckled again making you pissed.

" I didn't want to have to do this you know." Do what? What the fuck could he possibly do? "You have three very beautiful children you adopted. Little Hitoshi, Little Himiko and Little Tenko." You felt your blood stop and freeze. No. NO. "I really only want yours but I guess Himiko will-" You didn't let him finish that sentence.

"YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HER! YOU WILL NOT TOUCH NONE OF THEM! I WILL KILL YOU" If you weren't so angry you would have jumped at the voice that came out of you. You sounded like the devil.

"Ooooo. I see that fire hasn't died. Well, let's see who gets to them first. They are at the science museum an hour away on a trip aren't they?" What. How the hell did he know that? Your silence was more than enough for him "You should really watch who you let in your circle. Time's ticking baby. Either I get her or you come back to me. The choice is yours." He hung up and fuck dinner. You made a phone call to Shinyo. He was the closest to you anyway.

"Hey, sexy-" You cut him off.

"PLEASE SHINYO IT'S AN EMERGENCY. MY BABIES ARE ON A SCHOOL TRIP TO THE SCIENCE MUSEUM AND MY RAPIST JUST THREATENED TO HURT THEM IF I DON'T GET TO THEM FIRST! PLEASE! I DON'T WANT HIM TO HURT THEM! PLEASE SHINYO! PLEASE!" You were panicking half remembering to put on pants at least. You couldn't think waiting on the balcony impatiently. You only had a bra on, jeans and socks but you didn't care. You needed to get to your babies. You heard a whoosh so you stood on top of the balcony in a jumping position. Once you had a clear view of Shinyo you leaped and he caught you easily quickly adjusting you as you both took off.

"He won't hurt them, I promise." You wish you can believe those words but no one truly knew the shit your rapist would do just to get his way, the number of tricks he had up his sleeve. Now it was a race against time.
