(Y/N) Todoroki

"What do you mean sir?" I ask Principal Nezu, a week after I had finally woken up from my coma.

    Nezu chuckles, "I'm sure you're surprised. Well, I mean, the public did vote you in as the fifth most popular hero due to your sacrifice during the rescue of Eri."

    "I just..I don't think I should." I reply, "Plus, aren't I supposed to graduate from UA before getting into heroism like this? I'm supposed to have a hero agency, but I can't do that at fifteen!"

    The mouse smiles, "That's alright, there are plenty of heroes who don't have agencies until they are a popular hero for a few years. You can probably live off the popularity area to stay in the high ranks of heroes. Anyways, you will be traveling with your father to the presentation. For now, you can go tell your classmates. Your father will pick you up."

    I bow to the principal and leave the school, heading back to the dorms just in time to see the Wild Wild Pussycats enter the building. I notice Kota trailing behind and run inside.

    I hug him from behind, shocking him so badly that he lets out a high-pitched squeak. All of my classmates, and the other heroes turn to look at us.

    "(Y/N)!" Kota yells, hugging me again.

    I giggle at his reaction, "Hey again."

    "Are you okay? You look pale." He mutters.

    "I'm alright, thank you for asking though." I respond.

    I glance up at my classmates, "Also, I have some news."

    All of them turn to me, but their faces contort into looks of fear, not curiosity.

    "Don't worry," I giggle, "Apparently..I'm going to the JP Billboard Chart announcement with my father..because the public voted me in as the fifth most popular hero."

    Silence fills the room for a few awkward moments, before Kirishima practically throws me to the floor as he hugs me.

    "That's amazing!" He says, as he pulls away with a goofy smile.

    A few minutes later, Endeavor and I stand inside a large building together.

    "The Billboard chart, live for the first time from Kamino!" I hear a reporter say, "Everyone surely knows the magnitude of its importance! Up until today's event, heroes have not traditionally appeared on stage at the presentation site! However, it seems times have changed! Take a look!"

    I take a deep breath as the reporter starts naming off the heroes.

    "Number ten, one rank down from 9 last time, the Dragon Hero Ryukyu!" She says, I hear her list the sixth most popular hero and she freezes.

    "Huh, where's the fifth?" She asks.

    I enter from backstage, "Sorry, I was nervous."

    The crowd erupts into a mix of gasps and cheers.

    "And here's our new number five hero, Elementia or (Y/N) Todoroki!" the reporter yells, but someone from the crowd yells out a question for me.

    "Why is a UA student one of the top five heroes!?"

    I can hear another audience member answer, "Didn't you see her sacrifice herself to save that small girl during the Overhaul incident? Hell, her left side is still scarred from the number her own quirks did on herself!"

    I giggle, smiling as the reporter continues to name off the other heroes and their ranks. When she is about to say my father, I turn to see him entering the stage from the back.

    "The reason we held this sort of ceremony at this time..is because we judged this to be a turning point. It's been about three months since All Might's retirement, and word is circulating that we still lack a hero icon. Although, Elementia, with your amount of bravery, the world seems to love you. If you work harder, possibly you can become the symbol of piece."

    A bright red blush appears on my face as the other heroes turn their heads to look at me.

    "She's a child." Hawks mutters, rolling his eyes.

    My father turns his head to the number two hero, not saying a word but still giving the man a glance that says, 'Watch it'.

    "And now, statements from each individual!"

    Ryukyu goes first, then eventually everyone else goes up until me. But before I can speak, Hawks mentions that if the hero rankings were purely based on approval, that I would be first, he would be second, my father would be fourth, and Edgeshot would be third.

    "Alright Elementia, how does it feel to be the number five hero when you are just fifteen years old?!" A reporter yells.

    I swallow, stepping up to the mic, "Well, it's shocking. While I was still in my coma, I had dreams of protecting the public but I didn't think I'd wake up and become the fifth most popular hero. Even though this will take a bit for me to adjust to, I promise my life that I will protect this society to the best of my ability. Thank you all so much for this opportunity."

    Claps ring throughout the building as the other heroes speak and then it ends at my father.

    "Apart from what that novice, Hawks, just tried to stir up..there is not much to say. Just watch me." he says.

    After, my father is yelling at Hawks about the stunt he pulled while I just stand by. As Endeavor attempts to walk away, Hawks says something that grabs our attention, "I request a team up. Some unpleasant first-hand reports have been cropping up in my hometown recently. Do you remember the Nomus?"

    I chuckle, "Is that a request just for my father?"

    Hawks quickly shakes his head, "No, for both of you."

    Then I nod, "I accept."

    So Endeavor, Hawks, and I head to the number two hero's hometown, after Hawks shows off, helping people in the streets, we finally arrive at the man's agency.

    The winged hero goes to explain that he has no proof, but that the rumors of Nomu are spreading throughout the entire country.

    "Quit putting on airs already." Endeavor says, "What the hell are you trying to accomplish here? Tell me your endgame!"

    Hawks gives him a thumbs up, "I want you two, the number one, and number five hero, to become the leaders we can rely on. Hell, if you Elementia can get a higher rank, that'd be awesome! You two can verify these rumors that have been enveloping society, and you two can tell everyone to 'rest easy'. I want you both to puff out your chest and declare it to the world! And I won't do much of anything! I talked about it yesterday too, but the point is, when you're number one, Endeavor, it's all about the production. I just want to take it easy, seriously. In an ideal world, I would just leisurely patrol the streets, come home, sit back with a nice cold one and say 'Ah, another peaceful day' and then hit the hay! Now that would be the life! I want the world to be a place where heroes have more free time than they know what to do with."

    And that's when all three of us notice a large Nomu heading straight for the restaurant. The waitress comes in, but I quickly stand in front of her and create a large wall of ice.

    "Get down, everyone!"

    (Also quick A/N: This Nomu doesn't speak correctly so please don't comment on these mistakes.)

    "Which one of you, is strongest?" it asks, as the glass shatters on the floor.

    "Hawks, evacuate the building!" I yell, stepping beside my father.

    Endeavor punches the Nomu in the stomach with a scorching fist, sending it back through the window. Quickly though, the Nomu regenerates. I take a breath, preparing myself for my first battle as a real hero.

    "Did you think you kill me with..with this kind of fire?"

    "We have to capture it alive." my father mutters, I agree.

    "Are you strong?!" it yells, and it seems to be looking at me, not Endeavor.

    "Yes, now if you want to get through this without getting too badly hurt, I'd surrender!" I reply, "We are not going to go easy."

    "I don't surrender, ever." it says simply, before using their transforming arms quirk to grab us.

    It sends us into the building, and we end up on the other side of it. My father uses his flames while I use my fire to propel ourselves forward but the villain before us continues to send out arms that obscure our vision. It flings us once more through the building. The first few floors start to come down but as I regain my composure, I manipulate the roots and vines at the very bottom of the building to hold it up.

    "Get the civilians out of here Hawks!" I yell, "Quickly!"

    He obeys, using his stiff feathers to move everyone out of the building. I watch my father fight the villain out of the corner of my eye. I focus all my energy on the building though, slowly using my left arm to create walls of ice to help support.

Eventually, there is enough ice to hold the entire building up, so I drop the vines and roots and start taking the earth from the very bottom of the ground and bringing it up to aid in the support of the building.

    Endeavor uses his scorching fist to attack the monster, but it just regenerates once more. But then the Nomu shows off it's sixth quirk, Divison...or storage??

    "Dad, can you keep him busy?" I yell out, the number one hero replies with a yes and quickly fly down the building with my air quirk and start fighting the more dumb Nomu's.

    Hawk is loosing too many wings to move people to a safer distance, so I use my energy and move them away with the roots and vines from the ground.

    And that's when I remember what's going to happen to my dad.

    "HAWKS, DISTRACT THE VILLAIN QUICKLY!" I scream, but the number two hero attempts to fly up, only to have a Nomu grab his wing and smash him to the ground.

    I growl under my breath, spraying ice at the small Nomu, freezing them in place.

    "I'll do it myself."
