11.) Summer Camp (Part 1 of 3)

Before the summer camp starts, the students have a few weeks for themselves. Hibiki's family all went their ways, leaving her with her two nephews. The younger of the brothers, Ren, is currently at a friend's birthday party. Hibiki and Hideki, the older sibling, head over to UA. Aizawa and Vlad are meeting up with her to discuss further on the summer camp for their homerooms.

"This is so cool!" Hide cheers, fist-pumping before quickly wrapping his arms back around Echo's neck.

Echo laughs, as she flies the two of them to the school. "I'm glad you're excited. I'll give you a tour of the school after my little meeting."

After dropping Ren off at his friend's house, Hibiki suited up into Echo and took Hide to a tall building to ride the elevator to the top. Once at the top, she ordered Hide to get on her back and wrap his legs around her waist and arms around her neck. He does as told with confusion and she says hang on tight before jumping, making him scream at the top of his lungs. Echo spreads out the wings on her suit and they drift off toward UA high school. He quickly got happy and yells with joy.

"That sounds fun!" he shouts, looking at everything from the height they're at. "All those people look like little ants! You're the best!"

"Glad you think so, Hide," Echo responds. "You see UA yet?"

"Uh, I don't actually know what it looks like."

"I promise you can't miss it," Echo responds with a chuckle. "It's hard to. Straight ahead."

He narrows his eyes at the awkwardly shaped building. "That 3Dish H-looking building?"

"Yep!"

They land at the front entrance. Echo returns to Hibiki, putting a lanyard over his head with a UA access pass.

"What's this for?" he questions, flipping it between his fingers.

She points at the entrance. "See those hidden metal doors? They'll slam down before you can even step through. This little card gives you temporary access. It'll only scan you in this once, so you won't be able to use it again. You can keep it after we leave."

"Cool! Souvenir!" The twinkle in his eyes is never gonna stop shining today.

"Come on, let's go inside."

The two head inside.

Hideki's eyes are all over the place. "Whoa!" he exclaims. "The doors here are huge! This place is so cool!"

Hibiki chuckles. "This way, Hide."

He turns and quickly skips up to her as they enter the teacher's lounge. Inside the room is already occupied by Aizawa and Vlad King.

His eyes light up. "You guys are Vlad King and Eraserhead!"

"Uh, who's the kid?" Vlad asks.

"This is Hideki, my nephew," Hibiki introduces. "He's planning on coming here next year."

"He's also coming with us to the training camp," Aizawa adds. "Isn't there supposed to be another one?"

"He's at a birthday party."

"Ah."

"This kid seriously isn't already in high school?" Vlad asks. "He's almost taller than Aizawa."

"I'm 5'11'' and she flew us here, carrying me on her back the whole way with no struggle! Can you believe how strong my oba is?! She's amazing."

"He's as much of a fanboy as Midoriya," Aizawa comments.

"They are very similar," Hibiki chuckles. "Hide go hang out on one of the couches."

He nods, pulling out his phone from his pocket and walking over to a couch.

Hibiki pulls her chair from her desk over to the two men. "Alright, let's get chatty."

"We have to increase each of the student's quirks this summer," Aizawa begins.

"Agreed, why don't you start by giving me a rundown of all 1A's abilities," Vlad says.

"If I must," Aizawa sighs then proceeds to explain all 20 quirks of his students. "And that's it. We should also go over class B's quirks." He stops himself, catching sight of movement coming into the room.

Hibiki and Vlad also look over. She heard them enter the school.

"Excuse us," Mineta speaks up as he enters the room with Midoriya and Kaminari.

"Yes? What is it?" Vlad asks.

"Sorry to interrupt," Kaminari says. "We were wondering about the form we turned in a few days ago about the pool."

"Oh, the school has granted you permission," Aizawa says. They cheer. "You're allowed to use the pool until 5pm."

"Thanks!" Kaminari bows.

"You won't regret this, sir," Mineta says, bowing too followed by Midoriya.

"You said you wanted to use the pool for endurance training, correct?" Aizawa reads off a paper he picked up. "Make the time count."

"Right!" all three nod.

"Hey, do you mind if someone tags along with you?" Hibiki asks.

"Huh?" the three tilt their heads in sync.

Midoriya takes notice of the boy in the back.

"Hideki, you interested in some swimming?" Hibiki calls to him.

He looks up from his phone with a smile. "Sure! Sounds like fun, but I didn't bring my bathing suit."

"The boys will get one to wear."

"Okay!"

"Is he a transfer student or something?" Midoriya asks.

Hibiki glances at Aizawa to Hide to Midoriya in amusement. "No, he's my nephew. He's gonna come here next year."

"If he gets in," Aizawa says.

"Oh, he will. Wait until you see how strong his quirk is," Hibiki says with a grin. "I would bet that he'd probably be able to take on all of 1A right now if he wanted to."

Hide gets all bashful, rubbing the back of his neck with flushed cheeks. "Obaaa!"

"You go ahead, they'll introduce you to half of who you'll meet at the summer camp."

"He's coming with us to the summer camp?" Kaminari asks.

"Yep, and you'll get to see the extent of his quirk too if he trains with you."

Hide grabs his bag and heads up next to the boys. "I'm Noizu Hideki, but you can just call me Hide. Everyone does." He bows and springs up. "So, what are your quirks, senpais?"

They leave the room in chatter.

"Oh no, there's two Midoriya's now!" You can hear Kaminari shout from down the hall.

~~~

Time passes and 5 has almost rolled around. Aizawa decides to head down to the pool and clear everyone out. Hibiki follows behind. Aizawa opens the door and activates his quirk right as Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki jump. All three fall into the pool ungracefully.

"What happened?!" Kaminari shouts.

"Why aren't they using their quirks?" Sero exclaims.

"It's 5 pm," Aizawa calls out, gathering their attention. His hair is raised with red eyes. "Your authorized pool time is officially over. Hurry up and go home."

"Come on just one second!" Kaminari pleads.

"We were finally getting to the good part!" Sero complains.

"Are you questioning me?" Aizawa threatens.

Hibiki places her hand on his arm. "Come on, Aizawa. Just let them finish the race. It'll be real quick."

He turns to glare at her. "It's–"

"Not officially 5 yet," Hibiki says. "There are still 2 minutes left. I'm sure they'll be done by then."

He sighs powering down. His hair pools around his shoulders. "Fine."

She smirks. "Hurry, boys! I managed to stall him for a bit!"

They all cheer. The three boys line up again.

"Yes!" Bakugo grins.

"But, you have to actually be in the water, not blast over it," Hibiki says. "You can still use your quirks, just do it in the water."

Bakugo scoffs.

They move to jump and Iida blows a whistle for them to go. Midoriya manages to win a split second before the other two tie for second.

"Dammit!" Bakugo screams.

Hibiki motions for Hide to use his quirk. He nods, forming an extra limb on Bakugo and smacking him in the back of the head with it.

"I said stop the cussing," Hibiki says.

"How did–"

"Hide? Did you not compete?" Hibiki asks.

"Nah, wasn't interested," he answers. "I would've smoked 'em anyway."

"Alright, 5pm, get out," Aizawa growls, quirk flaring to life.

...

Hibiki groans at the news. She gets up and immediately calls Aizawa.

He quickly answers. "Noizu?"

"Hey, Aizawa. Something's come up. I'm gonna send Hideki ahead to ride on the bus with the others. Ren and I will meet up with you at the first hour stop."

"What happened?"

"Some paperwork mishap at my agency. I need to resign some things that they lost. It shouldn't take too long."

He sighs. "You can't just send a clone?"

"It's a long complicated story, but no I can't do that without quirk-related consequences."

"Alright, fine."

"Thanks. Watch over Hide for me. I will be sending a few clones with him with all our stuff, but they'll disappear once there."

"See you soon."

"Bye."

~~~

After signing the papers, Hibiki and Ren make their way to where Aizawa is going to dump his class off before continuing on the bus. She locked Ren into place with her nanotech suit on her chest and jumped off her agency, gliding for about half an hour. To keep herself from falling, she would release sonic screams every so often at the ground to elevate herself higher.

Echo glides down right as everyone is shoved off the side in a dirt wave. Even Hide is taken with them.

"Aizawa, we've made it!" Echo says, releasing Ren from her suit and into her arms then lands beside her fellow teacher.

"Glad you could make it," Aizawa says, looking at the child in her arms. "This must be Ren."

Ren looks at him before shyly turning away and hiding his face in Hibiki's shoulder.

"He's kinda shy with people he hasn't met," Hibiki says, setting the boy to the ground who immediately hides behind her legs. "He'll warm up to you in no time, I'm sure."

"Oh good," Aizawa sarcastically replies. "He's really Hideki's younger brother? They look nothing alike."

"Hideki gets his orange hair from his mother. Ren gets his hair and eyes from our side of the family."

A cat lady in red tilts her head at Echo after she turns around from talking to the kids. "Ah, you're Echo!"

"And you're Mandalay, correct?"

Aizawa tilts his head at her, knowing she had no idea who they were before. She must've done some research.

"Ah, you know my name! How cool! I'm a big fan, especially considering you are the number 1 female hero!"

Echo smiles. "I'm glad you're a big fan."

"So, who is this little cutie?" she asks, looking down at Ren. "I didn't know you had a son. I guess that would make sense though. You do have a secret identity after all."

"This is Ren, he's actually my nephew," Echo says, making her helmet disappear into the suit. "I do get that a lot though. He has the same eyes as me after all. Ren, say hi to them."

Ren refuses to acknowledge them and shakes his head. He tightly closes his eyes and shoves his face into her legs as much as he can.

"Aww, he's cute," Mandalay says. "How old is he?"

"Just turned 5 a little while ago."

"Ah, that's the same age as little Kota here," she says. "Kota come here. He's technically my first cousin once removed, but I call him my nephew."

Kota grumpily does as so with crossed arms as he walks over.

"Hi, Kota," Hibiki says, kneeling and pulling Ren around her to the front. He tries to turn around and bury his face in her shoulder, but her grip is too strong around his waist to turn. Instead, he decides to cover his head with his arms. "This is Ren. He's very shy, but I do hope the two of you will get along well." She stands back up, patting both of their heads. "Alright, so let's get going."

"Ah, don't you think you've got them on a pretty crazy schedule?" Mandalay asks the two, now speaking about their students.

"Yeah, we're hoping to get an entire second semester's worth of knowledge into them here," Echo says.

"Doing that's going to take an intense amount of work, but the rewards will be worth it. They'll get permits to use their quirks if there's ever an emergency and provisional licenses that will allow them to work as heroes. Most importantly, with all the villainous activity we've been tracking, they need to be able to defend themselves," Aizawa finishes explaining.

An explosion sounds off in the forest, creating a big cloud of dust to spew up in the air.

"Looks like they're getting to work," Hibiki says.

"I trust that I can count on you, Pixie Bob," Aizawa says, looking over to the other cat-themed hero but in blue.

She squeals, excited by playing with her new toys, the students. "Aah! Leave it to me! Oh man, my fur's standing on end!"

"Good, let's get in the bus," Aizawa says, shuffling off to the bus.

Hibiki and Ren follow behind him. Ren rushes to the very back of the bus to hide and play on his Nintendo. Hibiki sits beside Aizawa. He sighs tiredly, slumping back into the seat.

"Sorry, I couldn't be here to help you with the rowdiness. I hope Hide behaved."

"He was fine, it was the rest of them that were obnoxious."

"Well, you can rest now. At least for a little bit, it takes, what, 3 hours to get there by road?"

"Sounds good, goodnight," he replies and slumps further into his seat.

After a while, Hibiki dozes off herself.

Ren comes down to show her his newest evolved Pokemon but finds her asleep on Aizawa's shoulder. He decides to save his game and put it away in his bag before climbing in between the two teachers and falling asleep too.

~~~

The bus pulls to a stop in front of the camp house. The driver pulls up the brake and puts it into park before unbuckling and shutting the bus off. "We're here," he calls out as he stands up. He turns to find the teachers and child asleep. He chuckles. He moves over to Aizawa and shakes him awake. "Sir?"

Aizawa groans, opening his eyes to see who's awakened him. "Ah, bus driver, have we arrived?"

"Yeah."

Aizawa looks to the weight on his shoulder to find Hibiki with Ren curled up on her lap and legs strewn across his own. He runs a hand through the boy's hair, finding him asleep too. "You go on ahead inside. I'll bring them inside."

"Alright," he nods and heads off.

Aizawa slowly moves the boy to be completely on top of his oba before scooping Hibiki up and slowly walking out of the bus.

"Ah, Aizawa... do you... want some help?" Mandalay asks, seeing his dilemma.

"Could you lead me to where we will be sleeping and set up a futon for them?"

"Yeah, sure!" she immediately agrees. "This way." She leads them inside to the assigned teacher's room and quickly gets a futon set up.

Aizawa sets her down on top, making them comfortable, and takes off their shoes before covering them with the sheets. Mandalay smiles at the scene. He sets their shoes neatly by the door.

"Thank you." He stands up straight and turns to her.

"You're welcome," she replies. "You're sweet to her."

"Well, she did take care of me when I was injured," Aizawa admits. "I guess I owe her a lot. Annoying really."

She smirks. "I don't really think you find it all that annoying."

"Yeah, whatever."

~~~

A little later, Hibiki stirs and sits up, looking around. "Where am I?" She sees Ren curled next to her. She blinks. "Did Aizawa bring us in here? He should've woken me up!" She slowly moves out from the futon to not wake Ren and heads out of the room, following where she hears Aizawa.

"You're awake."

"Yeah, you should've woken me up," Hibiki says.

"You looked like you needed the rest."

"You obviously need it more than I do," she responds. "You're the one with bags under his eyes."

"They're a fashion statement at this point," he sighs.

"Is that so?" she chuckles. "Didn't think you were one for fashion."

"Surprise."

She laughs again. "How much longer till the students get here?"

"Pixie Bob thinks not for another 6-7 hours."

"That's rough."

"They need it."

"Agreed." She sits beside him, leaning back on her palms. "Thank you for carrying us in, you didn't have to do that."

"Felt like it."

"Thank you for covering me with the blanket that one time too."

He glances at her. "I told you that was Hizashi."

"He said he didn't do it," she responds. "He knows you did it. Don't worry it's not gonna ruin how I see you for doing something nice."

He visibly pouts. "Yeah, yeah, whatever."

~~~

It's now a little past 5 o'clock and the students of 1A are just now starting to enter the campgrounds in total exhaustion. The first through the trees is Todoroki followed by Hide, Bakugo, Iida, then Midoriya, Shoji, Jiro, Kaminari, Mina and Sero, Hagakure, Asui, Uraraka, Koda, Aoyama, then everyone else at once.

Waiting for them are Pixie Bob, Mandalay, Kota, and Aizawa who's holding a sleeping Ren. Hibiki is currently in the bathroom.

Hibiki washes up and makes her way outside as Pixie Bob fawns over Midoriya, Bakugo, Iida, Todoroki, and Hideki.

"Aizawa sensei, you have a kid!?" most of the class shouts in surprise at seeing him hold the little black-haired boy.

Hibiki chuckles, clearly hearing him sigh in annoyance. She makes her way over to him, patting his arm and taking Ren from him. "Thank you for holding him."

"Don't understand why you couldn't make a clone."

"When I clone myself, everything is cloned. I'd still have to pee, so it's pointless and easier this way."

"Didn't need to know that."

"Well, you basically asked," she shrugs, brushing her hand through Aizawa's hair. "Your hair is a mess, you should brush it. Actually, I'll brush it for you later if you'd like." Before he can reply, Hibiki continues to talk. She withdraws her hand from his hair and runs it through Ren's instead. "Ren... time to wake up. It's almost time for dinner."

He groans, rubbing his eyes and burying his head back into her shoulder.

"Seems he doesn't wanna get up," Aizawa says.

"Little kids never do when you want them to."

Ren's little yellow-lime-green eyes open to show the world, making all the students gasp.

"You two have a kid together?!"

Hideki laughs. "No! That's my little brother!" He skips over, pulling Ren into his arms.

Ren squeaks happily. "Hide!" He hugs him tightly.

"You okay? Nothing injured?" Hibiki asks, scanning his body for injuries.

"No, just tired," Hide responds. "Everyone's quirks are so incredible!"

"You two look nothing alike!" the class huffs, looking at the two siblings.

Hide laughs. "We get that a lot."

Izuku decides to point out the other child, Kota, wondering who he is then is told by Mandalay. Izuku goes up to introduce himself, only to get punched in the balls by Kota.

"A low blow!" Iida shouts, racing over to help catch Izuku. "You fiend of a child! A punch to the scrotum is unforgivable!"

Kota turns to him with a harsh glare. "The last thing I want is to hang with some wannabe heroes."

"Wannabe?!" Iida shouts. "How old are you, kid?!"

Hibiki tilts her head at the little boy, wondering why he doesn't like heroes.

Bakugo gives a tired smile. "That brat's got spunk."

"He's like a mini version of you," Shoto blandly says.

Bakugo loses his shit on him.

"Enough playing around," Aizawa interrupts. "Get your stuff off the bus. Once your bags are in your rooms, we'll have dinner in the cafeteria. After that, you can bathe and sleep. Tomorrow your training starts in earnest. You better get a move on."

They all groan in disdain.

"I'm so proud of all of you!" Hibiki adds. "Tomorrow is gonna be rough, so no staying up late or you'll regret it!"

~~~

It's after dinner, and everyone's getting their stuff together to take a shower.

"You really don't mind? You can stay in one of our rooms if you prefer," Mandalay tells Hibiki.

Hibiki just laughs. "I don't mind having to share a room with Aizawa and Vlad, it's alright. It would also be better, so we can all talk about our plans for the students."

"If you say so." She nods. "Goodnight then." She leaves the room, sliding the door shut behind her.

Ren decided he wanted to stay with Hibiki because all the students made him nervous. Hide is staying in the boy's room. He seems to get along well with everyone, calling them his senpais. A few of them refer to him as kohai. It's all really cute. Seems they were short of futons, so Hibiki gave hers up to Hide as she brought her sleeping bag. Aizawa gave his to Ren, as he also brought his sleeping bag.

Hibiki tucks Ren in and heads over to the table with Aizawa and Vlad.

"You two should really get some sleep if we're waking up at 5 tomorrow. I'm heading to take a bath then going straight to sleep."

"That's a good idea," Vlad says, standing up and stretching. "I'll follow behind ya."

"You coming too?"

"I guess," Aizawa yawns, standing up and gathering his things together.

The other two teachers grab clothes and whatever for the bath and all three head over to the baths. They separate to their gender's side. The men were relieved that all their male students were no longer in the hot springs. The girls on the other hand were all still there, soaking in the warmth of the hot springs.

Hibiki cleans herself off before getting in the hot spring. "You girls should really head to bed. It's late, and Aizawa is going to get you guys up really early."

"Echo sensei! We didn't even hear you come in!" Momo gasps.

"I get that a lot."

"She's right, we should probably go," Tsu says. "I am getting a bit tired, ribbit."

"Wait, I have a question, sensei," Mina says.

Hibiki leans her head back on one of the rocks. "Shoot."

"Are you and Aizawa sensei dating?"

She jolts and ends up smacking her head against the rock.

"Mina! You shouldn't be asking our teacher such personal questions!" Momo scolds.

"What gave you that impression?" Hibiki decides to ask while rubbing the back of her head.

"You two just seem close."

"Well, no, to answer you're question, we are not dating. Nowhere close."

"Do you find him attractive though?" Mina continues.

"That's enough, Mina. It's time to go to sleep," Momo scolds, pulling her out of the water.

Mina complains the whole way. The other girls bid their teacher a goodnight before following, leaving the female pro alone.

Hibiki sighs. "Of course, I find him attractive. Who wouldn't? Obviously someone with no eyes or good taste." She scoffs. "Why is everyone trying to play matchmaker with me? Maybe I don't wanna date anyone? Maybe I don't like commitment?" She groans, slumping down under the water.

It's a while before Hibiki returns to the teacher's room. Vlad is already fast asleep with a red nightcap, making her giggle a bit.

"You were in there for a while."

"Why are you still up Aizawa?" she asks, moving over to get into her sleeping bag.

"I don't sleep when I should, you know that. You also said you'd brush my hair, not that I expect you to."

"I know. It gets annoying. You're stubborn as hell."

"Can't help who I am."

"No kidding."

"...You alright?"

"Yeah, Ashido just... asked me a question that had me thinking about my life. Just took up my thoughts and lost track of time." She grabs her brush and makes her way over to him.

"You really don't have to."

"I want to. It's not just relaxing for you." She gently separates his hair into sections and brushes through the kinks. "You're hair is very nice."

"You say that every time you brush it."

"I can't help it. It is nice. It's fluffy and soft and curly. Imagine how amazing it would be if you took better care of it."

"I don't need to look like a hair model," he retorts.

"Yeah, yeah, you need to look threatening as a hero and teacher," she replies. "Sounds stupid."

He rolls his eyes as she puts his hair up in a bun. "I have a reputation to uphold."

"Uh-huh," she scoffs, putting her brush away. "Stuuupid."

He wraps himself in his sleeping bag. "Goodnight, Noizu."

She chuckles. "Goodnight, Aizawa."
