A/N: AFO WHO?! LEAGUE OF VILLAINS WHO?! Nah, don't know them. Minor MHA Vigilantes spoilers
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was quiet enough that you can hear a pin drop. Izumaru had let you in and it was tense, awkward. You wanted to run but, you made a promise that you weren't going to run. You were going to face your fears. You all were kids, he wasn't to blame. He did try to help you the best he can even if it did earn him a beating or a night without food. He still did it. He wasn't the enemy in your story. She was. You walked into the living room and saw your dad heading straight for you to hug. You were anxious and a little reassurance can take anyone a long way. He embraced you making a chuffing sound that was soothing to you. Once calm enough you turned around to face Izumaru who sat on the opposite side of the couch to watch you and your dad interact. He had a faraway look before he was brought back to the present.
"I don't even know where to start, or what to say." He was shaking his head with his palms facing up.
"That makes two of us." You had a million things you wanted to say but, where do you begin? What should you say first? Hey, sorry for disappearing off the face of the Earth for the last five years. Yeah right. Maybe mention that you went to anger management and intense therapy. "Well, I guess I can start when I left the same day I started anger management and intense therapy. It's helped me a lot even though I still have a relatively short fuse." He nodded his head as he struggled to come up with something.
"I'm glad you got the help you needed and deserved." He looked you up and down and you felt a bit self-conscious. You got used to your father knowing about your scars but, it felt different for your brother. "It seems you have been doing a lot better." You nodded your head rubbing your arms a bit. You jumped feeling something placed on you. You turned to see your dad placed his jacket on you squeezing your shoulders.
"I'm going to make some food." He left without another word giving the two of you some sort of privacy. It was quiet for a minute before he started asking mundane questions.
"So, like, uh what are you up to now? What do you do? Any hobbies?" At least he was trying.
"Well, I have my own herotube, herotoon comics plus I do a lot of commissions for people. I draw a lot and when I'm not doing that I teach myself new recipes to cook or I read a lot of books including manga." He seemed genuinely interested.
"What's the name of your channel? Maybe I can subscribe?" You said Lizard Queen and his phone slipped from his slacked grip. He looked up at you with widen eyes.
"LIZARD QUEEN! ARE YOU SERIOUS!" After nodding in stunned confusion he started typing rapidly on his phone. "All of our siblings LOVE you. Obviously, they had no idea it was you but, still! This is amazing! I'm telling them right now." You didn't mention that you had a face reveal for 24 hours maximum before it was deleted. You waited patiently for him to look back up. "I'm in a group chat with them and they said they missed the face reveal! They had no idea it was you! They have been following since the beginning!" The conversation took off from there and the more you talked the more at ease you felt. Soon your dad came back with food and drinks handing them to the two of you. It was mixed raw and cooked meat with vegetables but, you didn't mind. The next couple of hours went by with you catching up with your brother about everything going on in his life. No one has spoken or seen the incubator since he left at 18 and Michael and Lisvette moved into the dorms. Michelle and Himanaru used to live together but now all five of them live together in a 5 bedroom house. He, Michelle, and Himanaru work at different stores while Lisvette and Michael sell stuff online to help with expenses. This was upsetting. You're happy that everyone got out of that toxic environment but, it's just upsetting that it had to be taken this far.
"How do you think the others would take to wanting to see me?" You were the most nervous about that. What if they hated you? What if they held resentment because you left them? To be fair you had to leave or you would be dead or in a mental institution.
"That's entirely up to you but, no one hates you." You grinned sheepishly looking to the side. "They all actually missed you and Lisvette and Michael haven't stopped looking for you since came to Shiketsu Academy and stopped that rhino villain with one hand." You looked at him surprised "Oh yeah you were on the internet and now that I got a good look at you." You gave him a poker face trying to figure out what he was thinking about "You were the ones who saved those three children from that burning building...That's how you got those burn marks." You blinked.
"How do you know that? I didn't even realize that would be on the news..." Now that you think about it, you were on the news.
"We all saw it on the news. We knew you looked familiar but, didn't want to put our hopes up high." You nodded your head looking down at the time gasping a bit. You were going to be late for picking up your children from their after-school activities if you didn't leave now.
"I hate to cut this visit short but, I got to go pick up my children." You heard Izumaru choke on his spit. "Don't worry they're adopted, I have absolutely no partner. You should meet them, I think they'll like to meet their uncles and aunties." He stuttered at that his tail wrapping bashfully around his leg. You watched him for a minute trying to decide something "Come here." He tentatively walked up to you freezing when you brought him in for a hug. "Relax Bambino." At the nickname, you used to always call him he completely pulled you up into a hug. He was taller than you so you were dangling off the ground.
"I missed that nickname so much." If his voice cracked and a few tears escaped you weren't going to tell on him. He pulled away and before you left the apartment you turned to both of them.
"Bring Himanaru and Michelle next week." With a smile, you left the apartment and made your way out of the building. However, you were stopped by Oboro.
"Where are you going?" He gave you a combination of Yamada and Aizawa vibes. He can be really chill and logical and then loud and chaotic at the same time. It was so strange.
"I have to be home in time to get my children off the bus." He nodded his head urging you forward.
"After my accident, I developed a second quirk. Weird I know. Normally I can make clouds and carry people to safety and make it rain, however with this new quirk I can transport people to whatever distance I want." You looked at him in awe.
"That's such a cool quirk! What's the name of it? Is it both long and short distances? How did you find out you can do that? How long did you practice-" He shushed you with a finger to the lips. You pouted at him nipping his finger and making him chuckle.
"I can answer your questions another day for now tell me exactly where you live and I can take you there." Nodding your head you told him the address "This is going to feel weird but, close your eyes." You did as instructed feeling whispy cold air and then a sudden thrust backward. "Open them." You did as instructed and looked around to see that you were right in front of your apartment building.
"Wow! You're amazing Obo! You turned to him with a bright smile. He coughed into his hand rubbing the back of his neck.
"It was nothing." He looked down at you with a grin before looking behind you and his expression went blank. "Um, I got to go love. I'll see you around." He ruffled your hair pressing a kiss to your forehead, his eyes never leaving behind you before he warped himself back to where you came from. What a way to make an exit. You turned around to see what he was looking at only to see Aizawa and Yamada standing there looking as if they saw a ghost.
"Hey, guys! What's up?" They both snapped at you and walked in harmony towards you. You were a little unnerved especially when they got close. They were sweating, their hands shaking, faces pale and teary-eyed. "Are you guys okay? What's the matter?"
"We need to talk." Shouta grabbed your wrist and started dragging you but, you needed to get your kids "The children are already upstairs the afterschool program ended early." Well, that's a relief but, why weren't you informed? You're going to call the school about that after you figure out what they're on.
"I'm glad but, what's this about? Did something happen?" You blinked as you were shoved into the elevator.
"That guy you were just with. What's his name?" That was strange even for them. You were about to crack a joke but it died on your lips when you saw their expressions. They were unnerved and deadly serious.
"He goes by Kurogiri! I call him Obo though." You blinked not understanding where this was going. What was so special about him? Why did they seem so unnerved by it all? They stopped the elevator in between your floor and Shouta's floor. This was weird.
"I'm going to make this quick but uh, the guy, you were just, uh, um, yeah he-" Shouta cut off Hizashi's stuttering.
"Is our dead classmate Oboro Shirakumo" You blinked wanting to make sure Shouta had his head on right. That's something that you or Hizashi might say, not Shouta. He didn't even believe in the afterlife but, he's going to believe in reincarnation.
"I'm not trying to doubt you but, uh, are you sure your classmate is 'dead' because either Obo has an uncanny resemblance to your friend or I'm talking to a corpse. I prefer the first thing I said 'cause talking to a corpse is not ideal." You looked at both of them and they seemed so stressed. "Okay listen." You hit the elevator button to continue "Come to my house let me get everyone settled and we can talk a bit more." They said nothing but, they followed you to your apartment. About 45 minutes later everyone was settled with a cup of tea while the children hid in their rooms understanding when you were having an adult conversation. "Now can we start from the beginning? Who's Oboro Shirakumo?" It was silent before Shouta started talking.
"We all met in U.A. I was a loner until I got adopted by him and Hizashi." You saw that happening. "I didn't like him at first because he was too happy and bright but he grew on me just like Hizashi did. They both were my first friends, ever." Hizashi was quiet while he talked "He balanced us out, he got me out of my moody state and he helped Hizashi calm down and relax when he was too over the top." He seemed to have gone down memory lane and you weren't going to interrupt him. "We wanted to open our own agency when we graduated. That was the plan it was going to be the three of us." He shook his head as if to clear the thoughts away "One day during our second year all three of us were with Purple Highness when there was a sudden villain attack. Oboro and Purple attacked first as I watched and before I knew it my body moved on its own." You had a feeling where this was going "Purple and Oboro were down but I swear I heard him cheering me on to fight, that I got this, I can do this. And I did, I managed to defeat the villains and was yelling for the people to save Oboro, to help him that he's injured...I was confused as to why Nem and Hizashi were crying until I saw...him...under a bunch of boulders..." He shook his head "He pushed me out the way, it was supposed to be me." He pulled at his hair and was brought back to the present. You didn't know what to say to that. You can only imagine how it feels to watch your only friend die for you. But something was bugging you.
"You said boulders right?" At the nod, you asked your question "Did you see the body with your own eyes? Or just a bunch of blood?" He hissed at you.
"I'm not stupid I know what I saw." You tried to placate him.
"I never said you were. You're very smart but...what was his quirk?" You knew Kurogiri's full name was in fact Oboro Shirakumo and you knew he had two quirks but, if he was the same Oboro they only knew the one quirk he had.
"He made clouds and loved to sit on them. He used them to save people and to make rain as well." Well shit. You felt your heartbeat nervousness a little bit. You needed to confirm one more thing before you said anything. "However, that person teleported with a warp, and Oboro's quirk wasn't that. I think I freaked out for no reason." No, no, no he had every reason to freak out. He just saw a dead classmate, that is in fact very much alive and has been since they were in U.A.
"Do you guys have a picture of him?" You were sweating yourself a little bit. Hizashi pulled out his wallet and took a picture to show you. Your heart almost stopped. It was him. It was in fact Oboro Shirakumo. Everything was clicking now. Why he knew so much about U.A, how he knew the names of the teachers, the principal, what all the teacher's quirks were, and how the curriculum worked. Everything. You weren't talking to a weird doppelganger. "I'm talking to a FUCKING corpse." You threw your hands up in the air melting into the ground. "HE IS VERY MUCH ALIVE!" "That's why he knows so much about U.A, the names of the teachers, the name of the Principal, how the curriculum works, the training exercises for the hero course." You were rambling and pacing at the same time.
"What do you mean? You just said he goes by Kurogiri? He was able to warp-" You shook your head rapidly.
"NO! His full name is Oboro Shirakumo, his alias is Kurogiri and he said he's lucky to be alive because the boulders that crushed him should have killed him instantly. He also has two quirks. He developed the second quirk when he was in Jaku General Hospital. He said his father Cirrus had two quirks like that-" You were caught off by Hizashi grabbing your hand tightly. You looked at him and then Shouta noticed both of them staring at you.
"It's him, isn't it...He really didn't...but how..." Shouta was shaking his head.
"I saw all of that blood, his arm." You cut him off.
"He does have a prosthetic right arm." That seemed to be the cherry on top. They both stood up hovering near you.
"You are going to set up a date so we can talk. Tell him the cat cafe and that's it. If he's really Oboro he will know." Nodding your head slowly they both were satisfied. They took a deep breath before both squishing you in hugs.
"We're sorry...it's just...a lot. We can talk more later." With that said they both made a hasty exit to probably talk about everything they just found out. You were left alone now with your own thoughts.
"Welp...Time for more drama I see." You locked your door and went to the kitchen to start dinner.
