Chapter Text

It was another boring day inside the Triple Baka apartment. Teto was cooking dinner inside the kitchen, Neru was watching videos on her phone while Miku was watching TV. Letting out a sigh, the blue-haired girl looked at her two friends.

Life was agonisingly boring. They needed something to do.

"We should become vigilantes."

As if a pin dropped, Neru snapped her head up to meet her friend. "Miku. Have you finally gone insane??" Despite not showing her emotions often, shock was clear on her face. "That's illegal!"

"But Neru, what's more illegal? Having a boring life, or helping people?"

"Being a vigilante you idiot." Neru grabbed a green onion shaped pillow and smacked her over the head with it. "Ah!" Miku rubbed the top of her head. It didn't hurt a lot, but it still stung.

"Come on Neru! We're too broke to go to hero school, but we could help people!" Neru left out a huff. Crossing her arms, she leaned back.

"You're an adrenaline junkie, Miku. If you wanted to help people, you would take after that Nice Guy, fella," Neru point-blank told her. Miku thought for a moment.

"I'm pretty sure he goes by The Cruller now."

Before the two could bicker even more, Teto waltzed into the sitting room with their dinner. "Spaghetti and meatballs!" The red one declared happily. The other two practically salivated witnessing the food.

"Thanks Teto!" Miku thanked the red head before taking her plate. "So, what were you guys talking about?" Teto questioned, leaning back into an armchair.

"Miku wants to be gay and do crime." Neru replied casually."

Teto almost spat out her food. "Huh???" She looked horrified. Miku shook her head.

"Let me rephrase," taking a breath she continued. "I want us to become a vigilante team. Money is tight, I know. Going to U.A would be basically impossible since we all dropped out and I know our quirks aren't the strongest, but I think we can help out people." Miku gave her friend a hopeful smile. "Would you guys consider it?"

Teto pondered for a moment. "What about Team Idaten? The group that Ingenium leads? If we wanted to do hero work, we could sign up there. We could earn money from there." Miku shook her head.

"Pretty sure you have to be scouted for that."

Teto let out a sigh, fidgeting slightly. Her dragon wings shuffled behind her. "As much as I would love to help out people, I really don't want to get arrested." Neru looked victorious while Miku looked crushed.

"Ha! I told you!" Teto looked at her friend with sympathy. "Sorry Miku.

Miku let out a long sigh. "What if I told you guys that I made us matching uniforms?" That caught their attention. Miku stood up and walked into her room, slamming the door. Teto scowled at the yellow one.

"Look at what you did! You hurt her feelings!"

Neru looked offened. "Me? You also told her not to do it!"

"Yeah but at least I let her down gently and giving her other options!" As the two bickered, Miku's door opened once again.

Stepping out of her room, Miku now had her pigtails in black and pink square ribbons. She was now wearing a grey, sleeveless blouse, teal tie and dark grey detached sleeves with a teal trim that fans out near the wrists. She now wore a black thigh length skirt with teal trim and thigh-high socks that blend into her shoes with teal trims at the soles. Pride coloured her face. "What do you guys think?" She inquired while putting on a black mask to obscure her face.

The two looked at Miku in slight confusion. "We don't have to fight evil people, but we can help people who need help for the mundane." She took Neru's words into consideration. "Please?"

The other two looked at each other. Neru thinned her lips and gave Teto a nod. She was the one calling the shots. Letting out a defeated sigh, Teto looked up at her friend. "Alright. Let's help people out.."

Miku's eyes lit up with life no other. Hugging the others girls, she practically squealed. "I promise you guys, you won't regret it!"

As the evening slowly turned into night, three knew vigilantes made their debut.

I don't know why, but the notes for this chapter is tweaking out so I'm just gonna put their quirks here.

The girl's quirks:

Hatsune Miku: Miku-Miku Beam. Inspired by Magical Cure Love Shot. They essentially act like ki-beams from Dragon Ball.

Kasane Teto: Dragon. She's a chimera, her quirk is kinda obvious. She's able to breathe fire and has dragon wings and a tail.

Akita Neru: Energy Compression. Kinda inspired by Stop Nagging Me. If she gets hit, her body stores the power and she's able to hit back twice as hard.

The cool air hit the trio in the face as Teto flew across the sky, her draconic wings powerful. "You sure this is safe?" Miku called, feeling slightly uncomfortable with the fact that Neru got to ride on Teto's back while Teto held onto her arms. "You'll be fine. Trust," Teto assured her friend. "Besides, this is the fastest way to check for trouble!" Despite Miku being the one who wanted to become vigilantes, she was starting to have regrets about the mode of travel.

She needed a bike.

Neru narrowed her eyes as she looked out for danger. And that's what she saw it. A house was burning. The fire was blue, not orange or red which immediately alarmed the blonde. "There's a fire! Over there! I don't see any firetrucks!" She called out. Teto almost immediately turned her direction towards the burning building.

As the trio landed, they immediately thought of a plan. "Teto, you're able to handle heat, right?" Miku asked, trying not to panic. Teto nodded. "Up to 1,100° Celsius thanks to my fire breathing, but I know blue fire can be hotter then what I can usually handle."

"Well, you need to be able to witsand it." Neru replied, panic rising in her voice. "Me and Miku will alert the neighbourhood, before the fire starts." With the plan in place, the trio sprung into action.

Miku banged on a nearby house. "Hey!! Hey everyone wake up! There's a fire!" With a lack of response, she cupped her hands together. Making a triangle shape, she focused energy in that spot. "Wake up!!!" As she yelled, a beam of light erupted from her palms. Not enough to destroy a house, but flashy enough to wake up people.

A disgruntled person opened the door. "What the hell-" The teal haired girl cut him off. "No time! There's a fire! If anybody is in the house, we need you to evacuate before the hero's or fire department arrives!":

This alerted the man. With the blue flames illuminating the sky, the twin-taled girl keep trying her best to evacuate as many people as she possibly could.

Neru banged on doors, windows, anything to alert the neighbourhood, not even stopping to take a break. Even though her voicebox felt scratchy and sore, she had to help as many as she could. Looking back at the blue flames, she gulped.

She hoped Teto was okay.

As Teto trudged through the burning building, she could feel the smoke closing her throat. Despite this, she wanted to make sure everybody was okay. "Hey! Is anybody in here?!" She called out. As she ran into the sitting room, she found the source of the fire.

A punk pyromaniac goth. His hands were covered in nasty purple burn scars. Definitely not somebody to be messed with. Despite this clear burning red flag, Teto knew what it was like to lose control of her quirk. The amount of fires she set because she sneezed in the wrong place should be studied.

"Hey! Are you okay?" She called out to the man. As if on instinct, the man sent a blue fireball towards the dragon girl. In a panic, she threw her arms to protect her vital areas.

The flames felt like hell. The pay was unimaginable but she stood strong. "I know what it's like to lose control of your quirk!" She yelled out, trying to calm the man down. "Please, can you stop! We can talk this out!" The flames stopped. Shaking from the pain, Teto slowly lowered her arms.

"You aren't a pro hero." The man noted almost immediately. Teto let out a airy laugh. "Nope. Just a glorified cosplayer." She replied, hoping to ease the tension. The man simply glared back. He was judging her, she knew it. Taking in a steady breath, she tried to calm her frayed nerves.

"I have a fire-breathing quirk," she began slowly. "I know what it's like to lose control. The fire being pretty. Wanting to just light everything on fire." She tried to emphasise with the black haired man. Extending her know scarred hand to the man, she smiled at him, a pure honest empathy in her eyes. "I won't pretend to know what you've been through, you look like you've been to hell and back but please, can you come with me. This amount of smoke inhalation is bad for the both of us."

The man stared at her for a long while. He was baffled. Nobody had ever empathised with him before. They either looked at him with disgust or disappointment. Glaring at the girls hand for a moment, he hesitantly took it. "There's nobody else in the house. Just me." He informed the girl as they navigated their way out.

The two girls looked at the burning house with worry. "We need to go in after her!" Miku yelled, her worry evident. "You idiot, if you go in after her, you could die yourself!" Before Miku could make any rash decisions two figures emerged from the fire. Teto waved tiredly. "Hey guys..."

The other two immediately ran into a tackle. "You idiot! You were in there for ten minutes!!" Neru yelled as Miku shook her. Teto found this information new.

"Huh... no wonder I feel so weak. The smoke must be going to my head," she laughed at this. The twin drill was obviously light headed. "By the way, this is the pyromaniac!" She introduced the punk to the other two. Miku blinked at this. He looks like the type to kiss boys... the teal haired girl thought as she narrowed her eyes into a glare.

Before any true conversations could be had, sirens could be heard in the distance. "We should probably go. Come on, I know a place to hide," the punk gestured towards the road. Teto wobbled. "I think I'm gonna be sick..." she mumbled. With a sigh, the punk lifted her onto his back. "Come on." With a nervous glance, they followed after him.

After about fifteen minutes of running, Miku and Neru are exhausted. "Can we please stop?" the teal girl requested, clearly unable to run anymore. Reluctantly the punk stopped. He gently put Teto down, who was currently unconscious.

"Before anything else happens," Neru began. "Who the hell are you?? What the fuck happened in the house?" she questioned, clearly on guard. The punk closed his eyes for a moment.

"My name is Dabi," the man introduced himself. "You could say that... I had a small outburst which led to me lighting the house on fire in frustration." His gazed lowered to the sleeping dragon. "She... empathised with me."

The three of them stayed silent before Dabi realised just how young the girls were. "Wait... how old are you three?" He questioned slightly urgently. "I'm sixteen, Miku is fifteen and Teto is almost fifteen. Why?" Neru told the man while Miku nodded.

Dabi could only stare at the trio with shock. "Shouldn't you be in school??" He inquired, some long buried brotherly instincts emerging.

"Well uh... we kinda haven't been in school since we were ten..." Neru said, slightly awkwardly.

"Y'know, are parents died in a villain attack, Teto had a mental break and burned down the orphanage..." Miku continued. Dabi continued to stare at them with shock.

"And you thought becoming vigilantes would help you somehow??"

"Well... we can't exactly afford to go to U.A... not to mention the orphanage might still be looking for us... we can't just go to school." Miku replied awkwardly.

Dabi face-palmed. These children were as stupid as his siblings! "That's it. I'm looking after you three." He declared, putting his hands on his hips. "You three need at least a legal adult to take care of you."

This was news to Miku and Neru. "How... how old are you??" Miku questioned, baffled.

"I'm twenty-two."

"TWENTY-TWO?!

Chapter Text

After living with these girls Dabi has come to one conclusion.

They're all fucking imbeciles.

The pyromaniac genuinely could not comprehend just how they have survived for so long! They were all either incredibly lucking, or God has chosen favourites. Currently, he was observing Miku pulling out a PowerPoint presentation.

"Since you have never experienced the joy that is Five Night's at Freddy's, I will explain to you how it has become the most long-running franchise since it was made before quirks," the girl began. "I will go over how it could have possibly been the reason All For One became a villain, inspired by William Afton and why he has existed for two-hundred years. Yes, I have evidence." She continued.

Dabi put his head in his hands, already getting a headache.

The man heard snickering from behind the couch. "What are you laughing at?" He questioned, slightly miffed.

"Once Miku goes on her yapping sprees, it takes her hours to calm down. Just be glad she isn't explaining Strange Hill High."

Dabi looked completely at utterly baffled. "The fuck is that?"

"It's from the pre-quirk era. It's about three British kids trying to survive a haunted school," Teto explained. Her voice lowered slightly. "Her personal favourite is Templeton. Something about almost being sold on E-Bay resonated with her."

Dabi looked more confused then ever. "The fuck was going on in the pre-quirk era?!"

Teto responded with a shrug.

The twin-drill slowly begins to walk away. "No wait! Don't leave me!" The black haired man begged.

"Sorry~ have to go shopping... bye!" Teto waved goodbye to Miku's next victim as she closed the door.

Dabi's face paled as a hand was put on his shoulder. "Come on, I need to explain how Bonnie floating is important to the lore."

Dabi wished he had the ability to cry.

Neru was coming back from work. Today had been hell. Some drunkard had threatened her and nobody had shown up! Instead her manager had to deescalate the situation. She breathed in the air before looking at her flip-phone. 16.30. Great. Letting out a sigh, the girl looked up at the sky. She wasn't sure how to process everything that had happened lately. She wanted life to be more interesting, but not to become a glorified cosplayer! Now they had a random ass emo in their apartment! Letting out a groan, she runned her fingers through her hair.

Shit sucked. Plain and simple.

Pausing, the girl decided to take a different route home then usual, going past Aldera Middle School. She didn't often take this route but a change of scenery is nice. As she trudged past an alleyway, she heard the sounds of... popping? Turning her head in the direction she noticed a group of boys around a more timid boy. They were wearing Aldera Middle School uniforms and the blonde one was using his quirk.

Neru had every right to continue on her way home. To leave things be. Grimacing, she rubbed her temples. "Fuck me with a chainsaw." She mumbled to herself. She was already having a good day. Might as well let her anger out on punks who deserve it.

Gritting her teeth, she stomped into the alleyway. "Hey toy dumbasses! Quirk usage is illegal without a proper licence!" That caught their attention.

The blonde scowled as if Neru was nothing more then dirt below him. "Ain't any of your fucking business!" He yelled out, his hands sparking. At least the group's attention was directed at someone who can handle their bullshit.

"I know, but it doesn't give you any right to act like dicks." She yelled back, hand on her hip. She grinned. "Besides, what lame-ass quirk is that? What, you a living firecracker?!"

This set the blonde off. Her charged straight at her, Neru only barely dodging, but the assault continued. The firecracker kept on swinging punches, Neru only blocking them. She was biding her time.

Then, he finally used his quirk.

At point-blank range, an explosion went off in Neru's face.

Stumbling backwards, the girl clutched her face. That shit stung. Glaring at the cackling boy, he began to taunt her.

"That'll teach you twice before getting into someone else's business you shitty quirkless!" As the boy laughed, Neru slowly got up, ignoring her now bleeding face.

"Y'know... you really shouldn't assume that someone is quirkless," she simply stated. She could feel the force of all the blows that she had absorbed, she needed to punch someone. Hard.

Gritting her teeth, she would her fist and swung. Her fist connected with his face. A satisfying crack could be heard as he slammed into a wall.

The boy clutched his cheek, rage in his red eyes, a silent annoyance in her yellow eyes. His back-up shook with fear, realising that they were most certainly outclassed.

"Katsuki... we should go." One of the boys quivered as he spoke.

"Like hell!" The boy- Katsuki yelled. "If I'm gonna be a hero, I am not loosing to a girl with spaghetti hair!" This was met with a cold laugh.

"Oh please! If you were truly a hero, you wouldn't be flaunting your ego over every unfortunate person you had to meet!" The girl taunted before her tone lowered. "But please, I would like to see you try to beat me."

The tension in the alleyway was so thick you could almost cut it with a knife. But eventually someone had to speak.

Katsuki stood up. "Come on, this isn't worth it." Like obedient little minions, the other two followed in suit. "This isn't over fucking spaghetti."

The blonde girl replied with a chuckle of her own. "Far from over you firecracker." And with that, the scrap ended.

The green-haired boy finally let out a breath he had been holding. The blonde clicked her tongue. "The fuck was that?!" She interrogated. "Do you not have any self worth?! Why the fuck did you leave them walk all over you?!" She continued. The boy, bless his heart, could only squirm. "I... I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologise! Stand up for yourself!" The tsundere yelled at him. "What would have happened if I didn't intervene- Huh?!" The boy could still only squirm.

"I know how to take care of burn wounds..." he could only mumble out. Neru let out an annoyed sigh, finally acknowledging the open wound on her face.

"Ah- fucking shit ass!" She began to curse out.

The boy slowly stood up. "I... I can treat that for you," he offered. "There's a medkit at my house and my mom won't be home for a while so..." he slowly trailed off.

Neru slowly let out an exasperated sigh. "Sure. Lead the way," she gestured for the boy to lead her. The boy smiled slowly as they began to walk to his house.

"What's you're name anyway?' Neru asked.

"Izuku. Midoriya Izuku." The boy, Izuku introduced himself.

Chapter Text

Neru hissed as Izuku dabbed the alcohol on her face. "Ah shit-stain!" She hissed out.

"Sorry..." Izuku apologised for what felt like the eighth time that day.

Neru growled, the grip on her hair tightening. "Don't apologise for shit you're not responsible for." She snapped. "Besides, it's my body doing my job. If I wasn't in pain, it would be more worrisome," she rationalised, giving a dry laugh.

The boy continued applying the alcohol onto her face, guilt plastering his face. "It's still my fault that you got injured..." he mumbled out, taking out a plaster.

Neru shook her head. "Nah. I was waiting for him to use his quirk," she admitted, a smile on her face.

Izuku's eyes widened. "What?! Why?!" He exclaimed, panic in his eyes.

Neru chuckled. "My quirk absorbs the force of any attack I get, and doubles it. Literally double it and give it to the next person!" She laughed.

Izuku's eyes widened at this. "So all those punches that you blocked..." he mumbled out before grabbing rummaging around his bag. He grabbed his notebook and pencil before writing down the girl's quirk. "Do you have a limit to how much force you can absorb? Does it only work on physical attacks or can it be emotional attacks?" He began to question the girl, his eyes practically glowing.

Neru squirmed slightly, a small but shocked by the onslaught of questions. "I... haven't been in enough fights to really test it out, but verbal attacks work like physical attacks for my quirk," she explained. "If I do absorb too much force my organs hurt a lot though. I'm not sure if it causes actual damage, but it does feel hella uncomfortable."

The boy nodded, scribbling down the information.

Neru rubbed her head, trying to stop the bleeding, the plaster pretty much forgotten. "So, you got some analytical quirk?" She questioned offhandedly.

Izuku stiffened at this, the anxiety returning in his eyes. His eyes were downcast as he hesitanted. "I... I'm actually quirkless. That's why Kacchan was..." he trailed off.

Ah.

That explained more then what Neru would have liked.

She clicked her tongue. "Y'know, I was a late bloomer." She growled. "My quirk developed when some bastards who thought that they were better than everyone was harming me." She confided in Izuku. She crossed her arms. "Damn bastards who think they're better than everyone," she repeated, venom laced in her tone.

Izuku blinked. He wasn't sure why a stranger was being so empathetic with him. He was sure that she would have laughed when she found out that he was quirkless. She was so similar to Kacchan. Why would someone empathise with a useless Deku-

"What do you want to be Izuku?"

That snapped him out of his spiralling.

The way the blonde looked at him. It was full of an angry determination. "I..." His throat caught up. Izuku felt like he was about to cry. "I want to be a hero. Like All Might." He finally admitted.

Neru mulled over this information. "If there's one thing my friends taught me, is that there's always a way to reach your goals. Even if it's odd." She grinned. Neru grabbed the boys arm and stood up. "You want to be like All Might, right? You can always be a hero. In your own away. You're insanely smart man! Use that noggin of yours!" Neru poked his forehead. She was getting too excited about this.

Izuku was bewildered. This girl that he just met was being super supportive of him! He could feel his face heat up from embarrassment.

"I'll train ya so hard that you can beat up that Katsuki kid yourself!" Neru cheered.

"I- but- I don't want to get him up-" he quickly said, stammering.

Neru blinked. "You don't?"

"N- no..."

"But he bullies you!"

"W-well..." Izuku fidgeted. "He was my first friend and mom still thinks we're friends... she's already worried about me. I don't want to worry her more," Izuku admitted, nervously, afraid that she'll judge him.

Neru blinked. "So... you're gonna be so nice to him he can't do anything but accept your kindness?" She questioned, tilting her head.

Izuku nodded.

She hummed. "Not the type of assault that I would go for, but it's acceptable." Neru nodded. "I'll still beat him up because he gets on my nerves and he needs a reality check," she added. "That okay with you?"

Izuku thought for a moment before nodding.

"Heh, nice."

It was then Izuku remembered that he forgot to put a plaster on Neru's wound. "Ah! Do you want an All Might plaster or a normal one?"

"I'll have a normal one, thanks." When Izuku finished applying the sticker onto his new friend's face, a voice could be heard entering the apartment.

"Izuku! I'm home!" An older woman called out happily. As soon as she spotted the duo, her eyes lit up.

"Izuku! Did you make a new friend?!"

"So obviously the Mimic is an allegory for All For One's brother that he locked up in a basement for a couple years before being released who then decided to carry out his legacy."

Miku had been talking for three hours.

THREE HOURS!

Not even Enji had ranted about his hatred for All Might for this long!

Dabi was seriously loosing it right now. Currently Miku was talking about the possibility that All For One had a brother and a son? Bullshit.

Absolute Bullshit.

"Miku," he finally piped up. "Can we please take a break? I feel like I'm having an information overload," Dabi mumbled, his headache feeling worse then ever.

Miku blinked twice before smiling. "Sure! Why didn't you say so earlier?" Miku questioned, slightly worried at the state the man was in.

Dabi was slightly baffled. "I... I didn't want to hurt your feelings? I guess...?" He mumbled out.

Miku chuckled at this. "Dabi! The only reason I want to share my interests with you is because I want to make you feel more comfortable around us!" The girl declared, stretching her arms. "I yap a lot because I want others to enjoy what I enjoy. Plain and simple."

Dabi had to admit that he did have a few conspiracy theories himself, but he didn't exactly feel like sharing them right now. The gesture was nice, all things considered.

He let out a sigh, smiling slightly. "Want to go out for ice-cream?" He pointed towards the door.

Miku's eyes lit up before twirling. "Yippee! Ice-cream!"

These girls might be absolute and utter imbeciles, but they had hearts of gold. Dabi had to admit that much.

"We can buy Teto and Neru some as well."

"Oh yeah, Teto did go out shopping! I hope everything is okay for her," Miku thought out loud.

Teto panted as she clutched onto her bleeding her arm. A nasty gash covered her arm. She extended her wings slightly, protecting the little girl behind her. "Don't worry kid. You're gonna be okay, trust." She was in deep shit, but she didn't want the little girl to know that.

The red eyed girl teared up. "But... you're hurt..."

Teto shook her head. "Nah. It's just a scratch."

She started up at the man, his whole body made out of sand. "I'm going to need you to hand over the girl." He ordered, his voice smooth.

Teto wished that she could just lit this fucker ablaze.

"Nah. I don't think so ya ass."

The man's eyes narrowed. "Fine, makes no difference to me." As his fist changed to a spear, a blaze of fire shot towards the man, who began to scream bloody murder.

The two girl's eyes widened as they turned towards the Pro-Hero who just rescued them.

Endeavour.

Chapter Text

"Shopping, shopping, I love shopping!" The chimera sang as she walked down the street, a hop in her step. Teto loved shopping. It was always a relaxing experience and if she got lucky, she could see a hero fighting a villain! The chance was always worth it.

As the twin-drilled girl sang to herself, she entered a nearby corner shop. As the cold hair hit her face, she grabbed a shopping basket and made her way around the shop. She had started working half time at a fast food delivery place but the pay wasn't the best. It was enough for them to eat but they all had to pitch in to pay rent. Maybe with Dabi living with them, paying for that stuff wouldn't be so difficult anymore. It filled the girl with hope that she hadn't felt in a long while.

Teto left the shop with a carton of eggs, a carton of milk, a packet of cheese, a couple of apples, some chocolate, baguettes, butter and ham. Smiling proudly to herself she walked at a leisurely pace.

As she walked down the street, her eyes caught something. Long flowing blue hair. It wasn't as vibrant as Miku's but it's definitely noticeable. Stopping, she slowly walked into the alley. "Hey! Are you okay?" She called out in a gentle voice. The owner of the blue hair stiffened and pressed into the wall, as if trying to dissappear into it.

Grimacing, Teto stilled for a minute. Slowly, as if trying to approach a stray cat, she chimera shuffled into the alley. Having a better look at the girl, Teto's stomach dropped. She looked a lot like Miku's friend. Red eyes, pale blue hair. It wasn't uncommon to meet people who had similarities, but it was definitely mentally noted. The girl had a small horn and was wearing dirty clothes and had bandages on her arms and legs. Not to mention the look in her eyes.

The look in her eyes was harrowing. She looked as if she had seen things that no child should.

Teto pressed her wings closer to her body. She didn't want to frighten the girl any more then what she had already.

"Hey... are... are you okay?" The girl whispered out.

The even younger girl stayed quiet before finally replying. "Are you going to being me back..?"

That made Teto's heart sink. She was so, so tiny. Teto just wanted to make sure nothing bad ever happened to her again. The twin-drill shook her head. "No, if course not," she said quickly. Teto's eyes darted around before she rummaged around the shopping bag. She took out a bar of chocolate and handed it to the blue-haired girl. "Here. It's chocolate. D-do you want some?"

The girl stuttered slightly, trying to find her words. The younger girl's eyes widened slightly before delicately taking the bar of chocolate. As she bit into the bar, her eyes widened again. Teto could tell that she at least liked the treat.

As a silence slowly settled in, Teto shuffled to sit beside the smaller girl. As the silence lingered, Teto finally asked the smaller girl her name. "What's your name kid?" She questioned, her voice measured.

"Eri," the tiny girl introduced herself.

Teto smiled. "My name is Kasane Teto," her voice lowered slightly. "You want to know something cool?"

Eri blinked twice before nodding. "I'm actually a dragon!" The teen spread her wings out slightly. "See? Isn't that cool?"

The smaller girl's eyes widened as she nodded, awe in her eyes. "So cool..." Eri whispered out.

"What's your quirk?" Teto questioned, her eyes lingering on her horn slightly. Eri stiffened at this, fidgeting slightly. "I... I'm able to rewind stuff. L-like if you're injured. I can heal it," the smaller girl explained timidly.

Teto's eyes sparkled. "Woah! Really? That's super duper cool!"

Eri smiled softly at this. "Thank you... but..." the girl trailed off, fear tightening her chest. "There's a mean man who keeps on hurting me because of it..." tears welled up in her eyes.

Before the girl could speak again, a hand was placed on her shoulder. "You don't need to say anything else," there was pure compassion in the chimera's eyes. Giving the girl a shit-eating grin, she clenched her first slightly. "If I see this guy I'll give him a one two!" She punched her firsts in the air. "I'll make sure you don't have to go back, okay?"

Eri felt hope for the first time in a long time. Teto stood up and outstretched her hand. "Come on, let's go home, okay?" Eri nodded and slowly outstretched her own hand.

As the two exited the alleyway, Teto couldn't help but feel a small bit anxious. Dabi was going to kill her for basically adopting a random kid.

Teto paused for a moment, looking at Eri. It would be odd if a teen was just carrying around a child wearing nothing but rags. It would be the right move to get the hero's involved but frankly, the scary man could be a hero! Teto thought back to watching those conferences that Endeavour did, him gloating about his own child.

Frankly, Teto didn't want to deal with that.

"Maybe we should get you some clothes before we do anything else." Eri's eyes widened with excitement as she nodded her head. She had never been clothes shopping before!

Teto looked at her now depleted wallet. The girl felt as if she could cry. She wanted to cry. Why was everything so expensive?! Letting out a small sigh, she looked Eri who was happily skipping in her new dress. It was a frilly, pink dress with white accents and it went down just past her knees. It made her look like a princess! All she needed was a crown and she would look like she belonged in a movie.

Teto couldn't help but have a small smile on her face. She had no idea what hardships the young girl had to deal with but the older one was happy that she looked much happier. "You ever had a McDonald's? I'm pretty sure there's one near," Teto offered.

The younger girl looked up at the older one in confusion. "I've never had a McDonald's!"

Teto grinned. "Well, guess who's getting one!" The chimera lifted the small girl into her arms. Eri threw up her arms in excitement.

"Yippee!"

Teto couldn't help but laugh. She was going to be a better role model then what monster who had been looking after her before.

Was it kidnapping if you were bringing the child out of an abusive home? Questions for later.

As the two girls walked down the sidewalk, a loud crash could be heard. Instinctively, Teto clutched Eri closer to her chest. It didn't need a genius to guess what was happening.

It was a villain attack.

Turning around, the two saw a man with a sand quirk charging at them. Eri realised who it was immediately.

"He's... he's after me..." she let out a whimper.

Teto spread out her wings and flew up to dodge the man with the sand quirk. There was a resolute look on her face. "Not on my watch!" Breathing in, Teto let out a plume of fire from her mouth.

The man with the sand quirk yelled out in pain as the fire kept on coming. When Teto ran out of breath a sharp spike protruded from the smoke. Teto twisted her body in mid-air to protect Eri from the sharp object.

Teto let out a strangled yell as pain flooded her senses. The spike had gone right through her manubrium. Her eyes were wide as she saw the blood drip onto Eri. "Oh... shit," she cursed, the reality of the situation finally setting in.

She couldn't exactly focus on that as there was currently a madman attacking them. As more spikes shot at the pair. Ignoring the pain in her chest, the chimera did her best to duck and weave between the spikes made out of sand. "Close your eyes, okay Eri?"

Eri did what she was told and closed her eyes. Feeling the air rush all around her as Teto flew. She was putting another life in danger. Eri was going to be the reason she dies, like so many before her. Overhaul sent one of his men to capture her again and Teto was paying the price. Eri could feel the tears well up again. She didn't want another person to die.

With newfound determination, Eri pressed her hands against the red headed girl's chest. With a brilliant glow, Eri's quirk activated.

Teto's eyes widened as she could feel her cells restoring themselves. Letting out a cough, Teto looked at her now healed injury. A wide smile spread across her face. "Eri did... did you do that?"

The small girl nodded, "I... I don't want anyone else to get hurt because of me."

Empathy crossed the older girl's face. "And no one will, okay. Didn't I say I was gonna beat up the big meanie?" Teto darted through the air as she spoke.

Eri nodded. "Yeah...?"

"Well. The best way to beat up someone is to think of a plan. So that's what we got to do. Yeah?"

Eri nodded, understanding the logic.

As the chimera flew through the air, she was too slow at dodging another spike.

She could feel the sand tearing the flesh of her left arm and worst of all, it ruined her favourite jumper! Crashing into the ground she used the momentum to roll. When her back slammed into a wall with a thud she made sure to get up quickly.

"You okay?" She quickly asked Eri, the smaller girl's health a priority in the situation.

The smaller girl looked at the bigger one in worry. "Miss Teto please..." she grabbed onto her jumper.

Teto let out a long exhale through nose before standing up. "I'm fine. Trust." She clutched onto the nasty gash.

"But... but you're hurt!" Eri cried out as Teto extended her wings, intending to protect the smaller girl.

"Tis but a scratch." She chuckled. It hurt to chuckle. It hurt to move entirely but Teto didn't care. She promised to protect this little girl and she would be damned if she didn't!

The man with the sand quirk strolled up to the dragonic girl. "I believe you have something that belongs to my boss," the man's eyes narrowed as he sent a hateful glare towards the teen.

Teto couldn't help but chuckle, trying to summon her inner Neru. Neru always had more bravado then her.

"Nah. I don't think so. I'll be damned if she went off with a creep like you."

The man with the sand quirk let out a sigh. "Fine. It makes no difference to me whether you live or die." Turning his arm into a spike, Teto braced for another attack.

She wished she could use her fire breathing on this bastard but it physically hurt to do so. With her muscles tensing, she readied herself.

But that's when a flaming fist struck the villain.

The two girls looked at the hero who had just saved them.

It was Endeavour.

Teto couldn't help but inwardly grimace.

She hated Endeavour.

Chapter Text

It was a pleasant evening, Dabi noted. It was humid but not unbearably so. It was definitely a good day to have ice cream. Dabi had bought himself a slushi while Miku had a vanilla ice cream with a flake in it. It was simple, but enjoyable. The two were currently sitting on a bench, in a nearby park.

The man hadn't felt this peaceful since Touya had "died." It was nice.

Unfortunately he was occupied by an undiagnosed conspiracy theorist who was unbelievably perceptive and stupid at the exact same time.

"Hey Dabi. I forgot to ask. Where do you work?" Miku questioned out of the blue, while eating her ice cream. Dabi blinked at this. It was an odd time to ask about his job.

"Oh. Well I work a lot of freelance work," he explained. "Y'know, I melt down metal for people, I sometimes start controlled fires in wooded areas to reduce the chances of an actual fire. Stuff like that." The pyro answered the girl. "I mean, it pays well at least."

Miku nodded, her eyes narrowed slightly. "I see... you sure you don't do hero or villain work or something?" The girl narrowed her eyes in suspicion.

Dabi blinked at this in utter confusion. "What? No!" The pyro lied. He did do villain work but it was more villain-for-hire stuff. He hadn't actually killed anyone. Not for a lack of trying, mind you.

Miku huffed, a loud exhale exiting her nose. "I have a friend who wants to be a villain." She began, continuing to only baffle the pyro. "Apparently he wants to make his Sensei proud," the girl bit into her flake as she kicked her feet in the air. "I met his Sensei, actually." The girl continued. "I have reason to believe that he may be One For All but maybe probably also William Afton."

Dabi was more then baffled now. The man blinked slowly. "You've... met One For All. Survived. And bring him up in casual conversation???"

The girl nodded. "What? Nobody believes anything that I say. Apparently rambling about conspiracy theories reduces your odds of people believing you." The girl slowly trailed off before she continued to lick her ice cream.

Dabi had to slowly take a breath. This girl was an anomaly.

"Are you Endeavour's son?"

Dabi spat out his frozen drink.

Teto was dumbstruck as she watched the Number Two Hero beat the ever loving crap out of the villain. The villain, on the other hand was screaming out in agony.

In her rush to protect Eri, she had forgotten that heroes and the police were supposed to that. Noth fourteen year olds. Speaking of Eri. Teto snapped her head back to the younger girl who was looking at the fight with mild interest. Teto immediately shuffled to cover the child's eyes.

"You don't need to see this."

With worry, Teto turned back to the hero.

Could her actions be considered vigilantism? She was technically a vigilante, but this time she was protecting herself and a child! Would Eri be taken away from her and sent back to her guardian? A person so evil, they hurt an innocent girl like her! Teto would not allow that. She would go to court if she had to!

Focusing her attention back to the hero who was still punching the villain she had to silently feel gratitude to the hero. She didn't like how flashy he was but in his drive to become Number One, he was at least efficient. Letting out a low exhale, she turned her attention back to Eri.

"You okay?" The teen asked the smaller girl. The smaller girl, now a bit shy, nodded her small head.

"Thank you... but..." her big red eyes met Teto's own. Eri's eyes glanced sadly to Teto's arm.

Teto's eyes followed to the wound before the elder gave the smaller girl a bold smile. "Ya see this? This will turn into a scar and you know something?" Eri looked at the chimera with slight confusion. "Scars are cool. They show you that you're strong. Strong enough to overcome anything!" The twin-drill threw her right arm up into the air. "Plus Ultra! Or, something like that..."

Eri obviously felt some amount of guilt but she seemed happier then before.

When Endeavour finished beating up the villain, his attention turned to the civilians. Teto immediately stiffened up, feeling her blood run cold. This was it. She was going to jail for not being able to control her quirk. She was going to jail for essentially kidnapping a girl. She was going to-

"Are you two okay?"

That snapped Teto out of her inward spiral into an outer spiral.

"I'm sorry for trying to fight a villain! Me and my sister were out shopping when that sand guy came out of nowhere and started to attack us! In defence I used my quirk but I wasn't strong enough and then-!"

Endeavour placed a hand on the spiralling girl trying to ease her. He might not be a good person. In general, but he was a decent hero. "I need you to calm down. Self defense against a villain is not a crime. Can you please slow down and explain what happened."

Teto gave a fearful nod, painfully aware of the power gap between the two. "S-sure..." taking a deep breath, the teen gently squeezed Eri's hand, trying to let the younger girl know that she was okay.

"Me and my sister were out shopping where that crazed lunatic started to charge after us. I have a fire-breathing quirk, it's apart of my draconic quirk. I tried to use it to at least slow down the man so we could escape but he started to make these spikes made out of sand. I tried to fly away from it but uh..." she gestured to her wounded arm. The girl began to chuckle. "If you didn't slow up Mr. Endeavour, sir I think I would've been in a lot of trouble." The girl kept laughing before the pain in her back made her stop. "Oh it hurts to laugh..." the girl grumbled, rubbing her chest.

The hero nodded, taking in all of the information. "Thank you for your co-operation."

As more and more emergency service vehicles arrived onto the scene, the two girls began to feel more and more overwhelmed with the amount of people surrounding them. As Teto's eyes darted around, she spotted two familiar figures.

Miku and Dabi.

Miku looked absolutely shocked while Dabi looked utterly furious at the sight of his father.

"So you are Todoroki Touya!" Miku beamed as the girl looked happy that one of her theories was actually right! Dabi on the other hand, looked annoyed, his index and middle fingers on his forehead.

"Yes, I am. But Touya is long gone." Dabi explained, regret filling his entire body.

Miku blinked at this. "But you're right here?"

"No I mean-" Dabi began. "The identity of Touya is gone. Yes, I'm still here but I'm Dabi. Not Touya."

Miku absorbed this information with an inquisitive look. "So... even though you're technically Touya, you don't want to be?"

"Yes. Exactly like that."

Miku thought for a moment before smiling. "I understand. If I was related to Endeavour I think I would crash out."

Dabi looked at the younger girl absolutely bewildered. "What?"

"Your dad's a dick! He parades around his youngest son like a prize!" Miku began her rant. "Yeah- he's a hero but he seems like an awful person! I bet he doesn't even let his children to think their own thoughts!" The teal girl continued her angry rant, Dabi taking in every word that the young girl spoke.

Inwardly, he was happy that someone at least hated Endeavour as much as he did. She seemed to have sympathy for Shoto claiming that "the kid didn't ask to be born! He doesn't deserve to be paraded around like a prize." Dabi understood the logic that the girl ranted but he still couldn't help but feel some resentment towards the kid.

He was supposed to be Endeavour's successor after all.

...

Maybe he did need therapy.

Mulling over this newfound perspective, the duo noticed some explosions. As if a switch was flipped, Miku wasn't angry anymore but now excited. With sparkles in her eyes, Miku looked at it with excitement. "Oh cool! A villain attack!" Smiling, she turned to her older brother figure. "Can we check it out?"

Needing a distraction, the pyro nodded. "Sure."

Throwing her arms up into the air with excitement, Miku ran over to the crowd that was now beginning to form, Dabi following the younger.

As the two looked at scene, two very different reactions happened.

Dabi felt his blood boil at the sight of Endeavour and Miku felt her stomach drop at the sight of Teto injured.

Teto waved at the both of them, the girl looking like she was trying to not cry. A smaller girl was clinging onto the older. Without thinking, Miku pushed through the crowd. "Teto!!!"

That snapped Dabi out of his anger, for a while at least. Seeing the draconic girl in bad shape made the pryo feel extremely uneasy. Pushing through the crowd, Miku and Dabi made their way to the two girls.

"Oh my God Teto! Wha- what happened??" Miku yelled, grabbing onto the younger girl's shoulder.

"Yes. What happened," Dabi questioned the Number Two Hero, his anger almost bubbling over. His balled fists let out a blue light, his blueflame activating.

"A villain attacked us..." Teto explained, her voice lowering slightly. "This is Eri. If the cops ask, she's our sister." The draconic girl explained, Endeavour's focus off of the two girls for the moment. Miku nodded, understanding the situation.

Meanwhile, Endeavour seemed slightly uneasy at the punk. Endeavour felt like he had seen those eyes before but the boy who owned them was supposed to be dead.

"A villain attacked these two. May I ask, what is your relation to them?"

"I'm their older brother." Dabi replied curtly before turning his attention to the injured girl.

As the punk stalked over, Endeavour let out a breath he didn't realise that he had. There was only one person that he knew who had that quirk.

The hero couldn't make any rash decisions. After all, people can have overlapping quirks but...

The hero narrowed his eyes, his suspicion growing.

Neru felt slightly uncomfortable in the Midoriya's household. Mrs. Midoriya had been insistent that the girl had to stay for dinner, especially after helping her son out from muggers!

Neru, despite all of her bravado was unsure how to take the woman's hospitality, Izuku advising that the yellow-haired girl just accept it. Despite Neru's insistence to help Mrs. Midoriya in the kitchen, the green haired woman had shut her down every single time. After all, "she was their guest and Izuku's friend so she didn't have to lift a finger."

And that's how the girl found herself eating delicious homemade katsudon. As the girl ate the food she felt extremely grateful. "Thank you very much Mrs. Midoriya," the girl thanked the woman for what felt like the twentieth time.

Inko chuckled happily. "It's fine sweetie. I'm just happy that Izuku finally has a friend who accepts him with or without a quirk!" The woman seemed absolutely ecstatic that Izuku had a friend. Izuku on the other hand was red as a rose bush.

The boy's cheeks were red from embarrassment. "Mom..." Despite wanting to eat his katsudon in peace, Inko's eyes lit up with excitement.

"I need to tell Hisashi right now!" The woman immediately jumped up to tell her husband the great news over the phone.

When the woman disappeared into the next room over, Izuku looked so apologetic. "I'm sorry..." the boy whispered.

Neru let out a noise halfway between a laugh and a sigh. "I'm guessing this is what mothers are like?"

The boy nodded. "Yeah..."

The two paused for a moment before Neru continued to eat her food. "She makes banging katsudon though."

The boy couldn't help but nod. "Yeah. Mom is the best." Despite his embarrassment, he was grateful to have a mother like Inko.

Chapter Text

The hospital air was sterile. Uncomfortably so. Miku was fidgeting with her shirt, worry evident in her eyes. The man scanned every doctor and nurse that walked passed the two. Sure, he was covered in scars but he was pretty sure that these medical professionals had seen more bizarre things in their careers. His focus returning back to the teal girl the young adult tried his best to comfort the girl.

"It wasn't a fatal wound. She'll be fine." Dabi assured the young girl, trying his best to comfort her.

Miku only responded with silence. Her eyes glued to the door that the two girls had been led into. Dabi let out a sigh before standing up. The sudden movement startled Miku, her eyes darting upwards towards the pyro.

"Come on. Sitting here isn't doing you any good. With the way you're breathing, you might pass out from inhaling too much chemicals."

Miku let out a small laugh before nodding slowly. Finally, the girl spoke. "Teto is so stupid for getting injured like that. I mean, I know she's reckless, but that was just idiotic..." the girl folded her arms in disappointment.

Dabi let out a sigh. "She passed out from smoke inhalation. If I was even slightly more demented, then she would've been dead." The man pointed out.

Miku blinked twice. "Yeah... yeah you're actually right. I- I know I'm not the brightest but even that was stupid of her."

Well, at least one of the idiots had a reality check. More likely then not, the other two wouldn't.

"We should probably let Neru know what happened..." the girl spoke with slight anxiety. Dabi nodded in agreement before a wave of dread came over him.

"How much do you bet that Neru will crucify me for not protecting Teto."

"I'd say about 1000yen."

"Deal."

Neru had enjoyed her time at the Midoriya household. There was a cosy vibe to it that Neru couldn't quite explain.

It was nice. A familiarity that she hadn't felt in years. Not since her parents...

She had greated Mr. Midoriya over the phone who seemed delighted that Izuku had a friend other then the "kid with spiky hair." It seemed like Mr. Midoriya wasn't too fond of Katsuki which was fair. The kid had a bigger ego then Texas.

Currently, the yellow girl was in a bedroom littered with All Might merch. Izuku seemed absolutely ecstatic to share his love for the hero.

"I gotta admit, I prefer Best Jeanist," the girl said idily. "Teto loves Stars and Stripes and Miku loves Midnight."

Izuku looked absolutely appalled. "How come you don't like All Might?! He's the best!"

"Because Best Jeanist is made out of denim! There's nothing better then that!"

Izuku put his hands on his hips. "At least Teto likes Stars and Stripes. I suppose she is the American All Might." The boy paused for a moment. "Wait- who is Teto and Miku?"

"Oh yeah. They're basically my sisters. Well, not blood sisters, but we might as well be sisters." Neru explained to the boy. "It's complicated."

Izuku nodded in understanding. "I see... do they have quirks?"

Neru nodded. "Oh yeah. Ever watched Dragon Ball?"

The boy nodded.

"Well Miku's quirk is like ki blasts. She charges up energy from her surroundings and herself, condenses it and can control it. It's kinda dangerous though since it can pierce through solid steel. It's called officially called 'Lazer' but Miku affectionately calls it 'Miku Miku Beam.'"

Izuku pulled out his notebook and began to write down this information. "Can she use it in any other ways?"

"Yep. If she condenses it enough, she can use it to blind people. Not harmful, just a flash of light." The girl began to think. "I suppose she can also use it to fly. If she focuses enough energy on her feet she can use it to propel herself into the air. She isn't very good at it though."

The yellow-haired girl let Izuku absorb all of the information before talking about Teto's quirk.

"Teto is basically a dragon. Her quirk is called 'Chimera.' She basically has a dragon tail and wings. She can also breath fire. Something about her alveoli being flammable."

Izuku perked up at this. "My father has a fire breathing quirk!"

"Seriously?"

"Yeah! Except his silva is alcoholic so it's easier for him to breath fire."

"Huh. That's actually pretty cool. It's insane how quirks can be so similar yet so different."

Neru puffed out her chest proudly. "I still think my quirk, 'Strength' is the best." The girl grinned cockily. "I mean, I'll always be stronger then everyone else."

Izuku thought for a moment. "Then why are you helping me? Your quirk is so powerful and I mean..." the boy looked at his scarred hands from Kacchan's constant explosions. It was obvious that the boy had massive self-esteem issues.

Neru let out an annoyed sigh. "Because if there's one thing I hate more than anything, it's asses who have a big ego." The girl pointed at Izuku. "If you're gonna become a hero, then you gotta build up some muscle."

Izuku blinked at this.

She- she was actually serious.

"Now... I had to do some basic strength training to help with my quirk, so I suppose we can start with that..." the girl trailed off as she spotted the green haired boy beginning to tear up. Not knowing how to deal with this, the tsundere began to panic. "Uh- are- are you okay?! I mean if you don't want to-"

Izuku shook his head. "No. I- I'm happy. Nobody has ever actually tried to help me. Thank you," the boy wept happy tears.

Neru could feel a faint blush creeping up onto her face. "Jeez... who hurt you?" That was all she could grumble out as she looked away from the sobbing boy.

Thankfully, her phone buzzed allowing her to quickly get out of this conversation. "Yeah?" The girl was quiet for a moment before her face paled. "What?!" The girl yelled at the phone before hanging up. "I'm sorry, I gotta go. Meet me up at the big park twenty minutes away from here? Okay?" The girl instructed the still weeping boy as she hurried out of the room.

"Thank you for having me!" She yelled out, gratitude still in her voice as she ran out. "Thank you very much Mrs. Midoriya for the katsudon! It was really yummy but I gotta go!" She thanked the older woman before rushing out the door.

Inko could help but look absolutely baffled. "Izuku honey... is your friend okay..?" The woman questioned her son tenderly before spotting that the boy was crying. "Oh Izuku are you okay?" Inko embraced her son as he nodded.

"Y- yeah. I'm fine. Just... just happy... I'm happy that I have a friend..."

Inko couldn't help but smile tenderly at her son. "I'm happy too Izu..."

With another friend, Inko wouldn't have to worry as much about her son anymore.

Miku put down her phone with a sigh. "I told Neru to wait at the apartment. God knows that if she came here, she would make a scene."

Dabi let out a sigh of relief. "Probably the best course of action." Neru was probably the most volatile out of the trio. It both disturbed and impressed him just how intimating the girl was. To be fair, they had been on the streets for some time. If he was to guess, Neru was probably the one who beat up people so they could eat.

Looking down at the teal girl, she looked up at him. She obviously wanted to ask him something.

"Go on, out with it."

The girl darted her eyes downward. "What... what was it like living with your dad?"

Yeah. That should be expected. Obviously the theorist would be curious about everything.

Dabi inhaled slowly. "To say that it was bad, I mean it. I often tried patricide. Unfortunately I never actually killed him. I think I somehow made him stronger..." the man thought back to his childhood. "I do sometimes miss my mother's cooking though..."

"Why not sneak into the house for the food then?"

Dabi's head snapped down to the girl.

"Miku. Legally I'm deceased."

"Then it's a raccoon breaking in to steal food. Obviously."

Dabi face-palmed.

HOW THE FUCK CAN SOMEONE BE SO SMART YET SO STUPID?!

Before he could contemplate his existence any more, the doors that Teto had entered opened. Their stood the chimera, a bandage rapped around her left arm, neck and covered with plasters. The smaller girl - Eri was also covered in bandages but they seemed fresher. She had some plasters on her knees and was covered in scrapes.

"Yo."

Miku immediately darted towards her younger sister. "What were you thinking you dumbass?!" Miku interrogated Teto as the red one hissed in pain.

"D- don't do that! Please..."

Miku immediately let go, obviously scared that she hurt the younger girl.

Teto chuckled light-heartedly. "So uh... turns out slamming into a building at 20KM/H can cause some pretty bad back damage." The girl tried her best to seem better then what she actually was. "The doctors told me not to do anything to physical for about three months." Teto continued.

Teto looked down at Eri, who looked worried. "I know you think that your quirk is dangerous, but if you didn't use it then I would be in real trouble, yeah?" She ruffled her hair affectionately. "Oh I swear nothing bad is ever going to happen to you again."

Miku and Dabi came to the same realisation almost immediately.

Teto had basically adopted a child at the age of fourteen.

Chapter Text

When Teto returned home, she was met with an extremely angry Neru who had proceed to lecture her on the important of not dying. Miku and graciously covered Eri's ears during the yellow one's yelling.

Then came the real tough part.

What do they do with Eri?

"Teto. You're fifteen. You can't just adopt a child!" Neru lectured her younger sister. "We can barely take care of ourselves, Dabi included." Her yellow eyes slowly slid over to the pyro who only shrugged at the jab. She wasn't wrong. He had practically survived off instant ramen since he was sixteen. Teto had been doing it since she was eight.

"Yeah but Eri is such a small a child! Look at her, Neru! She was in literal bandages when I found her!"

"Then we go to the police or the heroes, Teto!"

Teto stilled at this, tension displayed on her face. "But what if it's a hero that's hurting her...? The guy who attacked us - I'm pretty sure he works for Eri's.. parents. The scary guy."

Teto looked down at the child, worry on her face. Eri looked down on the floor before taking a breath.

"Daddy... daddy isn't around anymore. Mommy left me... I went to go live with my grandpa, but he's asleep right now. I live with the scary man now..." tears welled up in her eyes as she clutched onto Teto. "Please, please don't make me go back..."

After a moment of silence Miku finally broke it. "Let's castrate the guy who hurt her."

"Do it with a rusty carving knife." Dabi added.

As Dabi and Miku discussed how to murder and or make sure the man could never reproduce, Neru looked at the smaller child with a mix of empathy and pity.

Why? Why couldn't they just try to live peacefully? Miku is casually friends with a guy who wants to be a villain, Teto kidnapped a child and brought an arsonist into their home! At least Neru beat up a middle schooler. In comparison to her sisters, she had done the most legal thing out of all of them.

The blonde girl clutched her head, getting a really bad headache from the stress of it all. Glaring at Teto, she huffed. "You're in charge of Eri, okay? We're barely scraping by as it is with money you know?" Her head snapped to Miku. "No. That does not mean you borrow money off of a villain! We were already lucky to get this apartment without going into debt! We don't know how long we can stay in the good side of the police!" Miku deflated slightly before shuffling her foot.

"I wasn't thinking of borrowing money from Dusty..."

"Yes you were."

Pinching the bridge of her nose, she walked to her bedroom. "I'm going to bed. I already got into a fight with a middle schooler. I don't need this shit."

"Wait you did what?" Teto blurted out.

"Some guy with an explosion quirk was bullying a quirkless student," Neru explained. "I'm going to be giving him training so he can become a hero."

Right there, a light bulb went off in Dabi's brain. A smile crept onto his face. Rubbing his hands together, he began to chuckle. "You just gave me an idea..." the pyro began.

All of the girls looked at him with curiosity.

"What if we helped this kid get into UA. That's the only hero school that actually accepts quirkless heroes, right?" The black haired man began.

All four of the girls looked at him blankly.

"We uh... never got an education so we don't know." Miku explained.

Face-palming, Dabi continued.

"That's where most famous heroes teach. If we get on their good side, we could be protected by the law! Spin a sob story about how orphans usually suffer and had no choice but to make shady deals with villains, ect." The man continued to ramble. "And besides, I happen to know that Endeavour's brat will be going to that school. And I swear, I'm going to make him suffer..."

Miku lightly tapped him on the head. "Hey, I'm all for revenge, but target Endeavour. Not his son. All he did was exist."

Dabi grumbled something underneath his breath about Endeavour seeing his children as extensions of himself but Teto's eyes lit up.

"Why don't we sue him!"

Dabi looked at the girl in confusion.

"Think about it. Killing Endeavour will only make the pain last for a couple minutes, but if you sue him for all he's worth..."

As Teto, Dabi and Miku began to discuss plans to take revenge against Endeavour, Neru carefully took Eri in her arms. "You don't need to hear about this..."

Entering the kitchen with the younger girl, Neru picked her up and placed her on a chair. The teen rubbed her temples to soothe her pounding her head.

"Sorry..." a timid voice caught her attention.

Eri fidgeted nervously. The poor girl looked like she was about to cry. "It's always my fault... I'm sorry..." her apologies came out as barely a whisper. Whatever had happened to Eri was something that should never happen to any child.

Neru exhaled softly. "Eri. Listen to me," the teen began. "Whatever happened, wasn't your fault? Okay? I'm not the best at comforting people, but food always makes me feel better." The blonde smiled. "Have you ever had a chip butty?" When the red eyed girl shook her head, Neru smiled. "Well, my dad always made me one when I was down."

Turning around, Neru rooted through the freezer to find some oven chips. "Nothing better then chips late at night!" The blonde smiled, trying to cheer up the younger girl.

"Why are you putting chips in the air fryer?" Dabi walked through the door, thoroughly confused.

Neru blinked, now confused as well. Holding up the bag, she gestured to it. "These are chips."

"No. Those are fries. Chips are a wafer-thin slice of potato fried or baked until crisp."

Neru's eyes almost bulged out of her skull. "Those are crisps!"

"What the hell is a crisp?!"

It then dawned on Dabi. "You say things the British way?!"

It took a while, but eventually, everyone ate a chip butty at ten o'clock at night.

Chapter Text

As the night bled into morning, Izuku found that he hadn't slept that night. He had talked to someone. Someone who accepted his quirklessness. Who had offered to help to achieve his dream, and a girl no less! He remembered the look of determination in her eyes. The way her finger pressed against his forehead. The boy felt his cheeks begin to burn and pressed his palms against his face. Turning over, he could feel hope swirling in his chest that had long been plagued with despair. It felt like his dream could actually be possible! Pulling his All Might themed covers over his head, he tried to force his body to relax. He couldn't become a hero if he was tired.

Neru had gotten up earlier than usual. She quickly checked on Eri and Teto. Teto had given up her bed for the younger girl deciding to sleep on their spare futon in her room. When Dabi had begun to live with the girls they had offered him the futon but he had declined it stating that 'we preferred sleeping on couches.'

It was on odd decision, but none of them were ones to judge.

Making her way into the kitchen, Neru rummaged through their cupboards. Thanks to Teto losing their food after the villain attack they were running out of supplies. Grumbling under her breath she pulled out a pan of bread and put two slices in the toaster.

As the blonde waited for her bread to be toasted, she decided to brush her hair. Grabbing a random hairbrush she began to untangle the knots in her comedically long hair. She really needed to get a haircut. Her brows furrowed as she came across an especially stubborn knot. Gritting her teeth she cursed underneath her breath. "Oh fuck you..." she hissed at her hair.

In her frustration she didn't notice Dabi waking up. He was staring at her with some amount of amusement. Deciding to break the silence, he spoke up. "Need some help there?"

Neru jolted at the sudden words. The teen spun around and if looks could kill, Dabi would be dead ten times over. The girl's face began to redden with embarrassment. "How long have you been awake?!" She whisper-shouted, obviously embarrassed to be caught cursing at her hair.

"Long enough to see you struggling. Need help?"

Neru rolled her eyes at this. "I'm fine, thanks."

Neru glared at Dabi before her toast popped. The girl turned her attention back to her now crisped bread. Grabbing her toast she began to eat it without any toppings. No butter, no ham, no jelly and peanut butter. Just pure bread. Teto would be proud of her.

"So," Dabi propped his arms over the back of the couch." "Why are you up so early in the morning? Eight in the morning isn't your usual time to get up."

Neru let out a small exhale from her nose as she chewed on the dry toast. "I'm planning to meet up with that kid. The boy who wants to be a hero." She explained, her voice curt.

Dabi thought for a moment. "Mind if I come with? I don't have anything planned for today. Besides..." the young adult shuddered. "I do not want to hear Miku talk about Petscop..."

"Oh yeah that's one hell of a rant." Neru nodded, remembering the slide shows that Miku had presented the two girls. "But no. I had to train my body to handle my quirk. I'm sure it's no different from how quirkless people deal with training." Neru seemed awfully sure of herself. Dabi on the other hand, was not impressed.

"Have you ever been in an actual fight before?"

"I've been in a couple. I usually just witsand a couple of powerful hits and then I punch the attacker."

There was a silence between the two before Dabi spoke again.

"You have no idea what you're doing, do you?"

"Oh fuck off."

It was a nice, sunny day. The perfect day to train. Neru sat on one side of the bench while Dabi sat on the other, waiting for Izuku. Eventually Neru had given up brushing her hair and just wrangled her hair into a bun. She was ashamed to admit that she needed Dabi's assistance for it.

The girl was glaring at her phone as if it had personally offended her. Dabi glanced over at the girl's screen and realised that she was watching low quality Roblox memes. When Neru noticed that he was watching her phone, she glared at the older male. "What?"

Dabi put his hands up in a placating gesture. "Nothing. I'm not one to judge people for their hobbies."

Neru scoffed. "Honestly, I don't know why I let you tag along. I bet you only rely on your fire quirk."

Dabi flexed his fingers. "I mean, you're not entirely wrong, but when I was younger I was given training. Out of the two of us, I'm pretty sure I'm the one with most combat experience."

"Training by who?"

"Does it really matter?"

Neru just rolled her eyes. At this point she was just trying to annoy him into leaving. She did not want to be associated with this man. Unfortunately, Miku, Teto and hell even Eri liked him! She was stuck with the pyromaniac. Letting her eyes wander, she scanned over the park, specifically looking at the shoes.

Quirkless people needed custom shoes thanks to their extra toe joint. It sucked that quirkless people had a big red calling card to be discriminated against, but that's just how society worked.

Then, she spotted the shoes she was looking for, fluffy green hair accompanying it.

When Neru spotted the freckled boy, her eyes lit up slightly. "Yo! Izuku! Over here!" She waved to catch the boys attention. There was an obvious change in the girl's disposition. All the tension in her shoulders seemingly relaxed.

When Neru spotted the blonde girl, his green eyes also lit up. A small blush dusted his face. The boy ran over to the girl sitting on the bench. "Hi Neru!" The boy had a smile that could rival All Might's, Dabi immediately noticed.

When the green haired boy noticed the older male, her looked much more anxious. "Oh um... who are you..?"

"I'm Neru's older bother, Dabi."

Izuku blinked. "You didn't mention that you had an older brother."

"I didn't think I needed to..." Neru grit her teeth in annoyance. "But yes, this is Akita Dabi. Dabi, this is Midoriya Izuku." Neru introduced the two, Izuku giving a small bow.

Dabi grinned, realising that he had the perfect opportunity to mess with the girl. "Y'know, she kept on talking about you last night. Talking about how she was doing to make sure that you would be the first quirkless hero-"

Dabi was cut off by a quick jab to the gut. "Shut. The hell. Up." Neru sad with an agitated smile. That was the first time the girl had actually physically struck the older male.

"Worth it," Dabi coughed out as he clutched his gut, removing from the attack. Even Neru's base strength wasn't something to scoff at. She was surprisingly strong even without her quirk. That only cemented the idea in Izuku's head that Neru was the female Kacchan.

Neru let out a sigh before standing up. "Alright. You ready for your training?" Neru questioned the green haired boy. Izuku nodded enthusiastically. "Yes ma'am!"

Neru nodded, a determined smile before she began to examine the boy. "How exactly is your core?"

Izuku blinked before rubbing the back of his head. "Not the best..."

"Then that's what we'll begin with," the girl pointed to the earth beneath them. "Do a plank for thirty seconds."

Izuku's face paled slightly. "A plank...?"

"Yes. First, we need to strengthen your core. If you neglect that, than you might as well give up."

The green haired boy gulped before slowly getting onto his hands and knees.

"Straighten your back. You need to stay as still as possible."

Dabi had to admit, she knew the basics. That was good at least. The older boy occasionally gave tips to Neru if she got something wrong. She would just roll her eyes but adjust if needed.

Izuku on the other hand, felt like he was going through utter hell. He had never been the most physically active person. The most exercise that he had done was in P.E, and even then it was mainly trying to survive Kacchan.

He could feel his stamina rapidly decreasing as he began to do push ups. He had pushed himself until he collapsed onto the grass beneath him.

"I... I can't do anything more..." the boy exclaimed as he caught his breath. The boy felt as if his lungs were on fire. It was an extremely uncomfortable feeling. Sweat covered the boys forehead and back.

"Ten minutes," Neru noted. "Not bad, but we'll definitely have to work on your stamina..." Neru folded her arms before thinking. "Does your mother do yoga?" The girl questioned.

Izuku rolled onto his back. "Yeah? Why..?"

Neru clapped her hands. "Perfect! You should join her!"

That made Izuku stammer. "W-what?!"

"Yoga helps with helping stamina and it should help loosen up your muscles," the blonde girl explained. "Listen, it's either that or running up steep hills." Izuku could only let out a groan at this.

Dabi couldn't help but be amused at the spectacle in front of him. The pyro couldn't help but be taken back to his own training with Enji. That, was hell. He was at least thankful that Neru was going easy on the boy.

Standing up, Dabi began to make his way to a nearby cafe. "I'm going to buy some water for you, okay?" Dabi called out.

Neru was, reasonable happy with that. "Thanks!" She called out to the young adult. She wasn't smiling, but there was some gratitude in her voice.

They were going to be in the long term for this training. Whether Izuku could survive was yet to be seen.

The whole day as absolute torture for Izuku. After resting for about thirty minutes, Neru had chased him around the park with a sharp stick for fifteen minutes, intending to increase his endurance.

After that whole ordeal, Dabi began to teach him how to punch properly. He had been extremely critical and had even knocked him down a couple times but by the end of the training session, Izuku had managed to leave a punch on Dabi.

To be fair, Dabi had been in an argument with Neru about the best way to punch someone but Dabi had been proud of him for landing a punch nonetheless.

By the time Neru had decided that he had done enough exercise for the day Izuku felt like every single one of his cells were on fire. He had never exercised so much in his life.

Both Neru and Dabi looked down at the green haired boy. "You did good, y'know?" She tried to encourage the boy.

Izuku kept on panting as he laid on the ground. "Thanks..."

"You're probably going to hurt in the morning," Dabi exclaimed out loud. "I'd recommend going to the pool tomorrow. Going to and from the sauna to the cool pool should help."

Neru blinked. "Wait that actually works?"

"Yeah, I don't know the exact science but it supposedly helps muscles."

As Dabi and Neru were talking about the best way to help with muscles, Izuku lifted his shaking hands up. "Help..."

Neru had ended up carrying Izuku back to his apartment due to him not being able to walk. It had been a productive day at least. Izuku had learnt a lot but would definitely be needing a rest day after the intense workout. Inko had greeted Neru and Dabi once they had bought Izuku home and had insisted that they should stay for dinner. When the two had politely declined her invitation, she had sent them off with a hearty amount of curry.

"The guy who trained you must have been pretty competent," Neru broke the silence, admitting defeat to herself. Dabi knew what he was doing.

Dabi could only hum as his grip on the curry tightened. "Yeah. I would consider him to be Satan but he at least knew his combat knowledge."

Neru's eyes almost bulged. "Did All for One train you??" The girl hissed out.

Dabi's head snapped towards the younger girl. "No! How do you even know about him?"

"Miku. She can't keep her trap shut about her friend."

"Ah. That makes sense." Dabi let out a sigh.

"Wait... how do you know about him? He isn't exactly well known unless you're..." Neru's voice trailed off as she examined the older a male.

"A villain?" Dabi finished her sentence. "Well, you don't exactly end up covered in scars without a couple of stories." The man gestured to his face and arms.

Neru could only let out a small sigh. "Well, we're not ones to judge..." the girl chuckled slightly. "Do you seriously think we got a decent apartment without doing a couple of shady things?"

The two fell into a silence before Neru let out an exasperated sigh. "If you don't do anything to incriminate us, then I can live with that knowledge."

Dabi shrugged. "Sure. I'm fine with that."

The two headed back two their apartment with Neru hating Dabi a little bit less.

Chapter Text

Teto slowly but quietly opened the heavy library doors. She gave the librarian a polite wave as she made her way over to her usual desk. Teto often made infrequent visits to the library. She had been doing it for about three years now. Either for peace and quiet away from Miku, wanting to read a certain story or for research purposes.

This time, Teto had gone to the library for research purposes. The red-head set the notebook down, as she booted up the computer. She was going to try to research the best ways to raise a child! Of course, the girl was only fourteen herself but Neru had been ten when Teto had burnt down the orphanage. Surely, raising children couldn't be that hard.

She had left Miku in charge of Eri while Dabi and Neru were out training the quirkless boy. Despite Miku's carefree nature, she trusted the blue-haired girl that she would look after Eri.

Teto eyed the burns on the palms on her arms before rolling down her sleeves. She had to concentrate on the goal ahead of her.

The girl's brows furrowed as she was reading an article about raising children. "So... you have to give them a balanced diet..." the girl murmured to herself as she scribbled down some notes. "So I probably shouldn't be giving her instant ramen every night. The salt will give her health problems in the future..." Teto looked down at her body, a sudden wave of sadness crashing on her. "I don't wanna get diabetes..."

The girls head thumped against the table. The fourteen year old really did not think her actions through. Well, it was

better that Eri wasn't in an environment that was causing her stress. In the girl's research, she had discovered that too much stress can cause stomach problems.

The girl looked over at her notes. It was filled with different parenting tips, specifically with screen time, exercise and school. Teto had already decided that Eri would be homeschooled simply because it would cause too much trouble. What if the people hunting her down attacked when Eri was in school? Teto would never forgive herself.

The girl clicked on a health website and scribbled down some more notes. Ideally Eri should have seven carbohydrate rich products like pasta, rice, potatoes, five servings of fruit and vegetables, three servings of dairy products and four servings of meat. Daily. Teto chewed on her pen, eyebrows furrowing. It'll be hard but she could pull it off. Potentially. Maybe. Hopefully?

As Teto was deep in thought, a man with navy hair hair approached the girl. "You okay there?"

Teto practically jumped out of her sink in shock. Out of instinct, her tail immediately whacked the man in the stomach who doubled over at the sudden impact. Teto's hands immediately went to cover her mouth. "Oh Jeez! I am so, so sorry! You caught me by surprise, I'm sorry!" The girl tried to keep her voice at a quiet level as she panicked.

The man only chuckled as he waved her off. "I'm fine, don't worry." The man regained his composure as a relaxed smile spread across his face. "Aren't you a little bit too young to be out here? You should be in school, y'know?" He put his hands on his hips in a somewhat friendly manner.

Teto immediately bristled at this. The girl's face began to redden slightly. "School is encouraged, but not mandatory." The girl shook her head. "And besides, I'm eighteen. A grown adult. I can make my own decisions," the girl puffed out her chest, her wings fluttering behind her.

The man looked unconvinced but nodded. "I see..." His eyes wandered to the computer with a look of confusion. "If I may ask, why are you doing research on raising children..?"

Teto began to sweat, a look of fear in her eyes. Despite the man's friendly disposition, she got bad vibes from the man. "I... I have a baby sister. I'm trying my best to be the best older sister for her."

The man looked at the girl in sympathy. "Shouldn't you're parents be doing that?"

Teto looked down at the ground in what seemed almost like shame. "They're deceased."

The already quiet roomed seemed to grow even quieter. Realising that she had said it without thinking, Teto tried to backtrack. "I- it doesn't bother me! At least- not anymore. I got two older sisters and a brother. I got a support system." The girl gave the man a thumbs up as anxiety rose in her chest. Oh God what if he was an undercover hero who was looking for her?

The man only nodded. "I see... I'm sorry for your loss."

Teto could only nod timidly. The girl buried her hands into her jumper pockets. She didn't want to be asked about those.

The man gave her one last comforting smile. "I apologise for taking up your time."

As the man walked away, Teto slumped back into her chair letting out a shaky sigh. All things considered, she didn’t spontaneously combust. That was a win by her standards.

The older man walked over to the librarian. "You said that that girl was fourteen, correct?"

The librarian nodded. "Yes Mr. Ingenium, why?"

The man - Ingenium - folded his arms. "She lied about her age to me. She claimed that she was eighteen. I suppose she was lying about her age so she and her younger sister wouldn't get separated..."

The librarian's face became one of worry. "Poor thing... Orphan rates have been decreasing in the past couple of years but I suppose even All Might can't stop the side effects that comes with hero vs villain fights..."

Miku and Eri were currently walking down a dangerous alleyway. Eri was gripping onto Miku's hand tightly. "Are... are you sure this is the right place?"

Miku nodded confidently. "I'm sure, I'm sure. You'll love Dusty. He's a great guy."

Eri wasn't too sure about that.

As the two girls walked up walked up to a dilapidated building, Miku gave the smaller girl a thumbs up. Miku knocked on the door quite politely. Behind the door, a loud crash could be heard before a blue haired man opened the door with a loud 'thud.' "Player 2! You're here!" He shouted, his excitement evident. Then, he noticed Eri. Confusion overtook his face. "And... an NPC..?" The boy folded his arms. "Miku, just because we found you in the woods as a child doesn't mean you can go around kidnapping children."

Miku could only chuckle at this. "Actually, she's my new baby sister!" She took Eri in her arms.

The man - Dusty - was not convinced. "Miku, why do you have keep inventory on?"

"I'll explain inside, okay?"

As the two girls walked inside, Eri noticed her surroundings. It was slightly dusty, but the bar that they walked into was surprisingly cozy.

"Okay, explain."

"So, you know the way I decided that we should be vigilantes?"

Dusty's eyes lit up. "You're committing crimes now?!" He looked absolutely delighted at that. "You can join my party! Take down All Might together! Rebuild this cursed system!" His voice raised as he shouted.

Miku shook her head. "No. Sorry, I still don't feel like killing people, Tomura."

Dusty - Tomura - deflated at this. "Of course. Well, continue."

Miku clasped her hands together. "Well, since we became vigilantes, Teto went out shopping and found Eri here on the side of the road. She decided to do what Mr. Shigaraki does best and decided to take her in since she was covered in bandages and looked a bit malnourished, all things considered."

Tomura inspected the young girl, crouching down. "Hm... What does that have to do with me?"

Miku lowered her voice slightly. "We suspect that whoever was abusing her had a lot of power. They sent a villain after her. Teto got pretty injured. It might be a villain or someone else in power."

That, caught Tomura's attention. The young adult nodded, understanding. "Well, it wasn't us if you were wondering. The only child the doctor turned into a Nomu was his grandson." Tomura chuckled at this. "Apparently the only reason he did it was because Sensei thought his quirk was useful."

Miku blinked. "What was his quirk?"

"It was a level below Teto's. All he had was dragon wings."

Eri started to look increasingly worried. "I'll see if Sensei knows anything about child experimentation, or child abusers with heroes or other gangs."

Miku looked delighted at this. "When we find out who hurt this child, we'll make him eat his own organs."

Tomura grinned at this. "I'll dust his limbs one by one."

As Miku and Tomura plotted revenge against a child abuser, Eri noticed a gaming console. Her eyes lighted to slightly at this. She had never played video games before!"

"Anyways, do you think Eri could join our gaming session?"

"Why?"

"Because we were planning to play Hello Kitty Island Adventure anyways. I'm sure she wouldn't mind it. Besides," the girl nudged him. "How can she exist without knowing Big Challenges exists?"

Tomura mulled over his options. "Fine," her looked down at Eri. "Congratulations, you are now Player 3!"

Chapter Text

"And then I spent the past six or so years on the streets, committing minor crimes so I could at least eat food whenever I could," Dabi explained, lying down on the couch.

Neru was currently training Izuku at the pool to help with his aching muscles. Teto had decided to join them with Eri since the young girl had never been to the pool before leaving Miku and Dabi at the apartment. Miku had decided to use the opportunity to work through his issues.

The teal girl nodded. "I see..." the girl took a breath. "As an unlicensed therapist, I shouldn't add my own bias but your father sounds like an absolute dick! The fact that that bastard is still a hero is shameful."

"Right!!" Dabi sat him suddenly, his quirk activating. "That fool deserves to pay for everything... and Shoto. Fucking Shoto. If he had never been born then none of this would have happened!" The young adult snapped.

Miku was startled by his sudden burst of anger. "Dabi.. You are entitled to your anger, but I have a question. Would being the Number One hero help you?" The girl tried to calm him down.

Dabi blinked. "Of course. It was what I was born to do."

Miku paused for a moment, choosing her words carefully. "But what would have you liked to do with your life? Besides trying to commit patricide."

Dabi stared at her.

"Well, your parents had a quirk marriage, correct? Your father was so desperate to upstage All Might that he ruined an innocent woman's life. You, your siblings. They never really had a choice, did they? You, never had a voice." Her voice was even. "Shoto. Do... do you think he wanted a dual quirk." Her voice lowered slightly. "On TV, Endeavour sometimes has interviews and he gloats about Shoto. He doesn't see him as his own person."

"Exactly. That's why he deserves to die."

"But you see him as his own person," Miku smiled, taking Dabi aback. "Maybe he wants to commit patricide, like you. Even though he had the quirk Endeavour wanted, Endeavour probably treated him like shit as well. He seems like that kind of person."

Dabi was silent for a while, the cogs in his head slowly clanking. He was so caught up in his goals of taking revenge on Enji and by extension Shoto - the thought that Enji would treat his golden child as badly as his siblings hadn't even crossed his mind.

The tension within the room could be cut with a knife. Miku shoved her hands into her pants pockets before an idea overcame her. "How do you feel about breaking and entering? And car bombs?

"Miss Neru... where are we?" A confused Eri questioned the blonde girl. Neru, who currently looked like she was constipated with annoyance tried her best to seem calm.

"Well, I would very much like to know that myself. Right, Miku?"

Miku could only give a smile. "Well, you see Eri. These people hurt Dabi, so we're hurting them back."

Eri mulled over this information. "So... the man who hurt me... he deserves to be hurt back?"

Miku nodded proudly before giving the girl a well deserved headpat. "Correct my child."

Neru looked horrified. "Miku. We don't teach the child violence!" She whisper-shouted.

Miku gave the older girl a dismissal wave of her hand. "Yeah, yeah. We'll figure out those developmental problems later.

As Miku and Neru argued about teaching a child revenge, Dabi eyed Teto curiously as she tinkered away. "So," the older man began. "How did you even learn how to make car bombs? Seems like a weird hobby."

"Ah, well- I have a friend called Avanna. She's really into mechanics and stuff. Her quirk isn't related to that, though." The girl thought for a moment. "She figured out how to make a bomb that can penetrate through even the most dense quirks." The girl chuckled, an evil glint in your eyes. "So whoever hurt you will be feeling really sore in the morning."

Dabi was almost impressed with the amount of bloodlust he could sense within the fourteen year old. The man only hummed as he watched Teto install the bomb into the car.

"Done!" The girl announced, wiping access oil on her vigilante suit. Miku's face scrunched up in annoyance.

"That's gonna be a pain in the ass to wash out..."

Neru could only roll her eyes. "My point is - not everything can be solved with violence.

"Except most problems in all honesty. If they couldn't, heroes would be out of the job," Dabi piped up.

The blonde glared at Dabi before turning to the younger girl. "Please, don't take after them.

Eri seemed to think about this. The younger girl then smiled brightly. "Only if you give me a chocolate bar."

Teto chuckled. "Hell yeah! That's my bartering daughter right there!" The blonde slowly groaned, realising Eri had taken after them. Future developments and moral problems will be hard to deal with.

"I can't believe you're listening to Miku," Teto hissed at Dabi as she picked the lock on one of the large windows.

"Her advice was solid at least. Eating your problems out - something like that."

"... You do realise that it isn't very healthy - right?"

"I'm taking revenge on my father that won't put me in Tartarus." The scarred man grinned. "Revenge is best served cold right? What's better than cold soba?"

Neru let out an exasperated sigh as Miku bounced on her heels. "Miku, I swear to everything that holy. If you convinced Dabi to break into his childhood home only to eat fancy ass food, I'm going to murder you."
Miku could only smile mischievously. "Whaaaat? Why would I ever do that?" She placed her hands on her chest. "That is something villainous. And I'm not a villain. I'm a vigilante."

"That blood on your hands would say otherwise-"

Neru's eyes bulged as Miku elbowed the blonde girl in the stomach. "Shut."

Eri eyed the blue haired girl's hands. "But you don't have blood on your hands..."

Miku shot Eri a grin. "Don't worry about it. The main thing is that we're alive, happy and not on a watch list."

Teto's eyes lit up. "Got it!" The chimera pushed the window open as she climbed into the kitchen. "Let's raid these guys!"

Fuyumi wasn't worried about anything.

Although she hated her father, she knew well enough that nobody would be stupid enough to break into the Number Two Hero's house.

So... why could she hear noise downstairs?

The girl groggily went to check on Shoto's bedroom. The boy was asleep. It couldn't be him downstairs. Natsuo was in college and Enji was out doing hero work.

So that only left one option.

Gritting her teeth, the girl grabbed a baseball bat. She had her quirk to back her up and if she was in real trouble she could yell for Shoto but right now, she needed to hit something.

As Fuyumi rounded the corner, she saw the trespassers. Three - no. Four girls and one man. Three of the girls were wearing... idol costumes? The youngest girl was wearing black pants and a black jumper, but she was a child! A baby! The man looked like a delinquent. A punk nonetheless.

Fuyumi gripped the baseball bat tighter. She could only see one of the intruders quirks - and that was the red-head. The man was scarred though, so maybe he has some type of fire quirk? The woman shook her head as she analysed the intruders. God knows that if she called Enji to deal with them he'd call herself and Shoto weak for not dealing with it themselves.

The red-head's eyes lit up. "Yoooo they got the fancy stuff," the girl was trying to not hide her excitement at the sight of... regular packaged sushi? How poor were they? "Dabi, you didn't tell us that you were rich-rich!" That... that was confusing. They were burglars but they were just raiding the Todoroki's household for the food??

As the twin-taled girl raided their freezer and took out Fuyumi's favourite ice-cream, that's when the white-haired girl lost it.

The girl's hands covered in frost, lept out of her hiding place. "Get out of my house!" The woman yelled, leaving the intruders stunned.

There was an eerie silence that hung in the hair. Sweat poured down Fuyumi's neck as she stared down the intruders. After a moment of peace, the blonde girl seemed to snap.

"You didn't say anything about siblings!" The blonde snapped at the man.

"I didn't think I would need to!"

"What do you mean "siblings" - I've never met you before?!"

"Miku did you get tha address wrong??"

"Nope. That's his sister."

"What - aren't you the daughter of Endeavour?"

"DABI'S IS THE SON OF ENDEAVOUR?!" The blonde screeched, clutching her head.

"Wait-" Fuyumi's eyes narrowed. "TOUYA?!"

"Shit."

"MIKU DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS?!"

The blue-haired girl - Miku - could only chuckle. "Yeah."

The blonde girl proceeded to wrap her hands around Miku's throat. "I'M GOING TO SNAP YOUR WINDPIPE!"

"You're... you're supposed to be dead. All they found was parts of your jaw..." Fuyumi was in disbelief.

Dabi - Touya - shrugged. "I got better?"

Fuyumi dropped the baseball bat and ran over to her older brother. "You... you fucking idiot." She sobbed as she clung onto older brother. Dabi let out a small exhale before returning the hug. "Sorry..." he mumbled out a weak apology.

As Neru choked out Miku and Touya and Fuyumu hugged, Teto and Eri were standing at the side of the kitchen. Eri looked up at the red-head. "So... Dabi has siblings."

Teto nodded. "Seems so. And he's the son of Endeavour..." Teto looked down at Eri. "If Endeavour was my dad, I'd hate him too." Eri tilted her head in confusion, not understanding. Teto ruffled the young girls hair. "Well, it's nothing you need to worry about."

Teto was the only one who noticed the adolescent boy standing in the doorway, utterly confused. The boy turned hie attention toward Teto. "What...?"

"Turns out your dead older brother isn't so dead." Teto explained bluntly.

Shoto's attention then turned towards Neru and Miku.

"Don't worry about them," Teto assured nonchalantly. Her calmness came from someone who witnessed this almost daily.

"I... I see..."

There was a brief silence between the two before Teto spoke up. "You got any baguettes?"

Chapter Text

"So... let me get this straight," Natsuo began, staring at Touya. "You're our dead brother who survived the forest fire, lived on the streets for six years, essentially adopted four children and the only reason you're here is because she-," he pointed at Miku, "- convinced you to break and enter our house." Touya nodded.

"That is what I just told you, yes."

Natsuo looked towards his older sister. "I don't buy it. It could be a bunch of scammers y'know?"

Fuyumi looked absolutely flabbergasted. "I'm telling you, it is him! Touya always had a bad taste in fashion!"

"My taste in fashion isn't bad."

"Yes it is."

"Alright, well," Natsuo turned his gaze back to Touya. "What's something we did that the public isn't aware of."

Touya put his scarred hand to his face. "Remember that time we got Smash Bros. We snuck Shoto away from training to play it with us. Enji was furious and we spent a good thirty minutes trying to convince him that it would help Shoto with his reaction time. By the end of it, you lost control of your quirk and broke the TV because you kept on losing."

Natsuo's eyes slowly widened as he remembered that day. "Holy shit..." the man whispered out. He looked towards Fuyumi, Shoto, the teens and Touya." "I- how??? How the hell did you survive the fire?"

"That, is a long and complicated story that I would rather not tell at two in the morning." As soon as Fuyumi had gotten over the shock of her elder brother being alive she had rang Natsuo to come to the house immediately. Currently, everyone was sitting in the living room. Eri was sleeping on Teto's chest and the fourteen year old looked half asleep herself. Neru's head was in her hands and Miku looked oddly pleased with herself.

"This was all your plan, wasn't it," Neru finally spoke up. The blonde was moments away from choking out the teal girl.

Miku could only smile innocently. "Well, if we didn't get caught then we would have ate fancy food. It was a win/win situation."

"How?"

"How, what?"

"How the hell did you find out that Dabi was Todoroki Touya??" Neru hissed at Miku.

Miku smiled like a cheshire cat. "I'm so glad you asked." Miku stood up proudly. "I have been following a case of blue fires for a while. While fire quirks are extremely common - Teto here has one after all - blueflame isn't exactly common. Teto looked into quirk records and found out that Mr. Todoroki Touya is someone born with a blueflame."

The girl paused for a moment. "Now with all good conspiracy theories, there's a lot of extra factors. A foreigner could have moved to Japan and had the quirk but hey, I connected the dots."

Neru's eyes widened. "That night you convinced us to do vigilante work! Did you know he would light that house on fire??"

Miku blinked twice. "What? No. I just wanted to do vigilante work that night. That encounter was a complete coincidence."

Neru face-palmed as Teto rubbed her back in comfort. It was then Shoto's turn to speak up. "Wait, are you No1Princess?"

Miku's eyes lit up. "Yes! I am! Are you a fan?"

Shoto nodded. "Yes. I'm extremely fond of your theories on Fazbear Entertainment. How could a company survive for that long? Especially since it was reportedly a place where people with quirks could go to during the Dawn of Quirks!"

As Miku and Shoto began to talk conspiracy theories, Neru looked extremely mournful. "I'm extremely sorry," the girl whispered to Fuyumi.

Fuyumi could only smile at the girl. "It's fine. I'm just glad that he's talking."

"..."

"..."

'Do I have to pay you back for the food we ate?"

"Oh very much so."

Neru let out a low groan, regretting every that ever occurred to her

Chapter Text

The next couple of months went by in a blink of an eye. The Triple Baka Squad had gotten into a small rhythm. They visited the Todoroki household nearly every day - often to keep Shoto company. Despite how quiet the boy was, he enjoyed their company and they more often then not made hero training enjoyable. Touya spent his days helping Fuyumi out in the household. She woman appreciated the help despite it not it being a big deal. Neru always left early. She made it to Aldera Middle School to wait for Izuku and to scrap with Katsuki. Despite how volatile Katsuki was, he was smart. Scarily so. It had almost become a competition for the two blondes to one-up each other. Katsuki and come to the realisation that Neru's quirk worked on damage so he always tried to end the fight in one or two blows.

And right now, he had incapacitated her in a swift punch to the gut.

"Balls!" Neru clutched her abdomen in pain.

"I don't know why the hell you're fighting for that quirkless nerd," Katsuki grumbled to the girl.

The girl staggered as she tried to get back on her feet. "Honestly, neither do I. Not sure if it's empathy, boredom or just because I want to." The girl rubbed her head. "But as much as I hate it-" she eyed the boy, annoyance in her eyes. "You got great fighting intuition. You'd make a great hero."

The boy's red eyes glinted with pride. Sticking his thumb into his chest, he grinned brightly. "Of course I know that! I'm gonna be the only hero coming out of this shitty school!"

"Yeah, but you need therapy."

"What?"

"I live in a house full of nutjobs. You think I can't tell when someone needs therapy?" The girl shrugged. "I can't convince you to go take it. I know you most likely need to be angry all the time thanks to your quirk, but you definitely need to control it." The girl gave a small thumbs up. "It's your biggest ally but also worst weakness."

Katsuki was stunned. She.. she was actually giving solid advice? The girl who had essentially turned into a sparring partner in a couple of months??

The boy could only growl as he walked away. "Whatever. Tell that nerd to stay out of my way."

Neru massaged her abdomen before flexing her fingers. She had to admit, he had gotten way better at fighting. So had she. Letting out a sigh, she smoothed out her cargo pants. Stretching, she made her way to find Izuku."

"Zuku!! Hiya!!" She waved at the boy as he clutched his hero notebook. "Didya see the debut of Mt. Lady? When Miku saw her on the news, she was practically swooning over girl. Kamui Woods was cool as well! I wonder if he has maple syrup as blood..." Neru's eyes slowly narrowed as she took in Izuku's appearance. He looked as if he had been crying. "What happened?" Her voice hardened slightly.

Izuku shook his head before laughing nervously. "Nothing! It's fine." The boy couldn't let the girl know that Kacchan told him to take a swan dive off the roof. She'd dismember the explosive boy if she did.

Neru could see through his lie easily. Letting out a sigh, she lightly punched his arm. "You don't have to tell me. Tell me in your own time." Smiling lazily, she grinned. "C'mon. Teto is making lasagne tonight and I want you to stop by. She makes a killer meal!"

As the two walked, Izuku told Neru about the different ways Kamui Woods could use his quirk. Although the girl wasn't too interested in it, she liked hearing him talk. The boy needed an outlet and she was a good listener.

Unfortunately, she was too attentive.

The two were caught unaware by a slime villain.

The villain pounced on Izuku, leaving Neru panicking. As the girl readied a punch, the villain could only laugh. "If you attack me, you hurt the boy! You're friends, aren't you? I'm sure you don't want to kill him!" Neru slowly walked backwards. They needed help. But if she left to find a hero, the villain would take Izuku's body! The girl began to sweat, unsure of what to do.

Thankfully, she didn't have to make it.

A blur of yellow smashed through the slime monster!

Almost immediately, Neru ran to catch Izuku. "Izuku! Holy shit!" The girl checked his vitals and let out a sigh of relief seeing that yes, he was alive.

The girl immediately turned to the man who had saved Izuku. "Thank you- HOLY SHIT!!!!" The girl pointed at the hero.

"Is your friend okay?" All Might- THE All Might- questioned the girl.

"Ah- yes!" The girl nodded. "Thank you so much!!" The girl began to panic before outstretching her hand. "Please do not leave! At least until Izuku wakes up. He- he's probably your biggest fan! He absolutely adores you. You're practically he's reason for existing. You're the reason he wants to be a hero" The girl shook her head. "What am I saying, he can tell you that himself!"

Standing up, the girl picked up some of the slime villain. "Can.. can I at least help you in securing him?"

All Might thought for a moment. He seemed apprehensive but one look at the blone's pleading eyes made him change his mind. "Hm... I don't see why not!"

The girl's eyes sparkled as she helped the hero capture the villain. Did she know two people would would take this chance to end the hero's life? Yes. Did she care about that? No. Besides, it would be rude to attack the hero in front of his biggest fan!

Neru shook Izuku pretty violently. "Wake up!!" She hissed as the green hair boy laid his eyes on All Might.

"A-All Might?!" Izuku yelled in amazement, eyes wide.

Neru observed the green hair boy with a smile as the next minute or so was a blur. She was happy that Izuku could meet his idol! That was until, Izuku grabbed onto All Might's legs as he was flying away.

Neru was left alone.

Rage filled her brain as she tried her best to run after the two but completely lost sight of them. "What about Teto's lasagne?!" She cried out for no one to hear.

Neru kicked a stone into a building. The girl huffed. "If he had told me his plan I would have joined him! He didn't need to do that brain dead move," letting out a sigh, the girl could hear an attack. The girl's eyes lighting up, she immediately ran to it. "I got nothing better to do. Might as well kill time while I'm trying to find that eejit!"

Neru was expecting a lot of things with this villain attack.

What she wasn't expecting was the slime villain she had helped All Might capture.

A chill ran down her spot when she noticed Katsuki being held hostage. "Oh... oh shit. How..?" She whispered to herself. Her eyes flicked to Izuku. "Izuku!" She called out to the boy. There was pure fear in his eyes.

"Neru... All Might he's..." His voice was barely above a whisper before he gripped he balled his fist up. Gritting his teeth, he ran towards the villain.

"Shit!" Neru cried out as she followed the boy. As Izuku tried to claw Katsuki out of the slime villain, Neru pulled her fist backwards to punch the villain. He was big enough to not cause substantial to Katsuki. "You idiot! Both of ye!" Neru gripped onto Katsuki's arm she kicked the villain, trying to put as much strength as she could into it. Frankly, Neru was terrified. She didn't want to die but Katsuki didn't deserve to either. "You can't be a hero if you're six feet under, y'know..." she gritted out as she kept a steady hold on Katsuki's arm.

The girl's stamina was running out fast. She hadn't saved up enough power. When the slime monster was about to attack the two teens, everything practically went silent. Neru could recognise that All Might had saved them from an attack but when the hero used a devastating Detroit Smash, Neru blacked out from the pure power behind the blast. The girl came to rather quickly, feeling rain on her face and mud in her air. That was only when Neru realised she was lying on the ground with All Might standing above her. Pushing herself upwards, she immediately went to make sure that both Katsuki and Izuku were okay. Seeing that they were, Neru laid back down on the ground, intending to not move for another sixty years. "I used too much power..." the girl panted out.

The next thirty or so minutes went by simultaneously fast and slow. When the pros were scolding the two teenagers for risking their lives to save Katsuki, the blonde blocked them out. If it wasn't for them, Katsuki would've died damnit! She kept her mouth shut, intending not to get in more trouble.

The walk home was slow and after all that had happened- peaceful. Something Neru desperately needed. "Teto's probably gonna kill us for coming home so late..." the girl let out a sigh before cringing. "Dabi too... Mrs. Midoriya as well..." as the girl dreaded the scolding that would most likely ensue, she hadn't notice Izuku trailing behind. At least, until she registered Katsuki's voice.

Turning around, she saw the blonde boy yelling something about "not needing Izuku's help." Neru let out a tired exhale through her nose. Slowly walking back to the green haired boy, she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. Gently shaking him, she spoke. "Ya did help. Nobody else could, so we did what we could."

Normally Izuku would respond but this time there was an uncharacteristic silence from the boy.

"Actually... I've been thinking." The boy began. "There's no way someone quirkless can be a hero." The boy's voice cracked as he spoke those words. "I was talking with All Might and well-"

Before Izuku could speak even another syllable, All Might appeared!

A loud, "I AM HERE!" Cut through the air.

The two let out out a yelp, Neru in utter bewilderment. "All Might?! What are you doing here? How did you get rid of all of those reporters?" Izuku asked, panicked.

Met with a hearty laugh, All Might spoke, "I stand for justice! Not soundbites!" And in a rather comedic scene, a zombie replacing All Might appeared.

"Agh! An anemic zombie! Kill it with fire!" Neru yelled out, absolutely panicked.

"What?! No! That's All Might!"

"THE ANEMIC ZOMBIE IS ALL MIGHT?!"

All Might coughed as he rubbed the blood from his face. "I apologise, I wanted to talk to you when you were alone but I was running out of time." All Might explained, Neru utterly confused.

Izuku could only chuckle nervously. "Neru... please keep this a secret?"

Neru blinked but quickly nodded. "Please, explain to me the situation later."

Izuku nodded as the two turned to All Might. "Neru is my very best friend! You can trust her with this All Might!"

"Young man and woman, I keep here to thank you and," looking at Izuku. "To answer your question from earlier. If you hadn't told me about your life. About how you had started training with all your heart. If you hadn't run into that fight, I would have been a worthless bystander in the crowd. So thanks."

Neru wanted to say that he didn't need to thank her, but she had the feeling he was addressing Izuku more than herself.

The boy shook her head. "No! It was my fault there to begin with! I got in the way of your hard work. I wasted your energy... Not to mention your time..."

Yeah, Neru definitely had to be filled in on the details. The girl was more lost than a penguin in the middle of a desert.

"I'm not done."

That caught Neru's attention.

"You told me that you didn't have a power, so when I saw this timid, quirkless boy try to save a life, it inspired me to act too." The man turned to Neru. "From the way that you spoke, you had put a lot of faith in Izuku. You support him no matter what. You even went to fight a villain, just to help him out."

Neru could feel an odd sensation in her chest. The way that All Might was speaking to the two teens was... so sincere. Trying to suppress the growing need to cry, Neru put on a brave face.

"I... can never become a hero." The girl spoke. "I'm not in school so I wouldn't have the proper education to enroll. Or without financial support..." the girl shook her head, placing a palm on her chest. "As the oldest daughter it was my duty to look after my little sisters! We may not be related by blood but dammit, I would support them any way that I can!" She looked over at Izuku and swung her arm around him. "This guy right here is one of the strongest people I know! If it's his dream to become a hero, I'll support him and make sure that he'll become one!" She threw her arm up into the air.

That was the reason why she supported Izuku.

She had faith in him.

The smile that All Might had on his face was almost a tender one. "There's stories about every hero. How they became great. Most have one thing in common: their bodies moved before they had a chance to think. Almost on their own." There was hope shining in Izuku's eyes. Hope that Neru had never seen before. The boy slowly broke down into tears and Neru had to turn away from him. She was happy. So, so happy for him. The boy gripped onto Neru for support as he began to cry.

"And today," All Might continued. "That's what happened to you. Both of you." At that, a couple of tears slipped from Neru's eyes. The girl always knew that she had potential to be a hero. Even since she was young. But she knew more than anyone that she couldn't. If Tomura.. no. If All for One found out about today, she knew that she would be turned into a Nomu. But she didn't care. These were words that the girl needed to hear after a lifetime of uncertainty and hardship.

Maybe. Just maybe, things would get better for her? For them. For all of them.

"Young man. You too can become a hero."

Tears stained Neru's white shirt as Izuku sobbed into the girl's chest. She knew that those tears were ones of relief. She knew that those words ment more than gold to Izuku.

Neru choked on some of her tears, smiling at All Might.

Despite knowing that she would never become a hero herself, she knew that Izuku could. As an older sister, she couldn't be more happier.

Chapter Text

The cell was dusty. Cold. Rowan let out a sigh as his back rested against the wall. All he had to do was kidnap one child. ONE CHILD! How hard could that have possibly been?? A fire breathing girl and the no.2 hero certainly didn't make it easy. As the man took another breath, the air tasted sweet. Which was... extremely weird. Before the man could dwell on the implications, a voice rang out.

"You fucked up~"

The man's eyes snapped open as he witnessed his saviour. She had flowing dark blue, almost green hair that reached down to end of her back, with yellow peaking underneath. She was wearing a light green Chinese-styled dress. Her yellow eyes glinted with amusement as she looked at her victim. "Y-you came?! You actually came to save me??" The man yelled, stumbling onto his feet.

The blue haired woman, his saviour blinked in surprise. "Oh, no. We're not here to save you. You're a lose end. You failed to get the girl, so you have to die~!" The girl opened the door slightly, revealing her partner. She had long flowing black hair, a red and black jumpsuit, a red baseball hat and black gloves. The woman's black eyes focused on Justin.

"I- I can still be of use to you!" The man fell to his knees and begged for his life. "I know where the Shie Hassaikai house their trigger! We can raid it! Please, please!"

"You were hired for one reason. To kidnap the rewind quirk user. At least secure her blood. But you did neither. You allowed her to escape."

Before Rowan could process the words, a tremor of pain racked through his body. Small, black and purple tendrils escaped from the girls palm. "Your quirk will provide to be useful. We thank you for your service." The black haired woman crouched down to the now dying body and collected some blood on the ground. Gently sipping from her palm, the woman licked her lips. "How will this look on the CCTV?"

The blue haired woman grinned. "Right now, he's still sitting in his jail cell. You'll have to change the corspe wound though. His official death, will be he stabbed himself with a wooden knife."

The black haired woman grinned. "God I love you."

"Love you two, hon~" the blue haired woman planted a gentle kiss on the black haired woman's cheek. "You're so smart and evil, I love you~"

The black haired woman touched Rowan's corpse and rearranged the wound to be one of a knife. The blue haired woman pulled out a wooden spoon from her dress and handed it to her partner. "Here ya go!"

Nodding, the black haired woman placed the knife in the newly formed stab wound.

"You want to go get take out after this?" The black haired woman opened up the door for her partner.

The blue haired girl grinned. "Yes! I'm kinda in the mood for spicy chicken nuggets with honey sauce!"

The two women left the jail completely unnoticed.

Chapter Text

Teto was bored.

Ever since the sand villain, she had been ordered by Neru to take things easy and ever since she started visiting the Todoroki household, Touya had told her to be on her best behaviour. He didn't want the girl to have a criminal record, after all. At least her lungs had healed up nicely. She was able to breathe fire again! Sure, it hurt to do so, but she'll be fine.

Fuyumi had taken nicely to Eri and was currently baking in the kitchen. The child looked happier nowadays and Fuyumi was way better at taking care of Eri then Teto could ever be! Sure, it stung to admit it, but it gave her more time to be a kid. Shoto had become... well. Not good friends but he was friendly with her. She helped strengthen his ice whenever his teacher or dad wasn't home.

Letting out a sigh, she rolled around on the ground until she hit a wall. Literally. She slammed against a wall. Standing up, the girl decided that she should wander around the house. She had nothing better to do. Miku was with Tomura for the weekly gaming session and Neru was out training Izuku. She had been awfully shady about it, now that the girl thought about it.

Eh. She'll figure that out later.

Standing up, she brushed the dust off her clothes. Eyes darting around the hall, she slowly crept to her destination.

Endeavour's office.

He was a pro-hero. That means he probably had important information, like the guys that had attacked her and Eri. Slowly opening the door, she made her way to the man's computer. Cracking her knuckles, she turned it on, only to quickly discover that it didn't have a password.

The idiot didn't have a password!!

Grinning, she immediately delved into some of the most important files on his desktop. Scanning through all of his emails, she came to discover that he had to deal with boring legal stuff. Like the Commission wanting him to attend hero-con coming up. He had declined stating that he didn't want to be in the same room as All Might.

All Might was going? Interesting. Interesting... She'd have to remember that.

Scanning through more and more of the emails she made a rather interesting discovering about the sand villain that had attacked her and Eri.

He had committed suicide.

Apparently he had a past with the Shie Hassaikai and didn't want to face their repercussions. The only thing was, Teto had no idea who the Shie Hassaikai was! The important thing was, she had a name. If he was working for the Shie Hassaikai then most likely, they were after Eri.

"Great. A stupid mystery organisation is trying to kidnap a little girl..." Teto shuddered at the implications. Exiting everything she made sure to leave everything as to how she found it.

Closing the door of the office quietly, she let out a sigh. At least getting close to the hero's family was able to help her in protecting Eri. Speaking of the girl...

Walking into the kitchen, she spotted Eri helping out Fuyumi with baking cookies. The girl licked her lips as she slid into the room. "How's the progress?" The girl questioned, eyeing the warm glow of the oven.

"Nearly done. It should be ready to take out in five minutes or so."

Eri looked up at the red-head. "Yumi let me lick the spoon!" The girl cheered.

Teto giggled at this before becoming sad. "Awe man. I wish I could've licked the spoon."

"Well, you didn't help! So no cookie dough for you!"

Teto clutched her chest. "How cruel."

As Teto put on an act of immense sadness, Fuyumi pulled on a mitten. "I'm going to pull out the cookies, okay?"

Eri nodded happily as the chocolatey goodness was slowly taken out of the oven. "Delicious..." Teto whispered which earned a chuckle from Fuyumi. Despite acting more like an adult then most, it was times like theses where Fuyumi remembers that Teto is just a child. She should be in middle school right now.

"It's hot," the white haired woman stated. "Leave them cool, okay?" Eri nodded enthusiastically before running off someplace while waiting.

Before Teto could make her leave, she was stopped by Fuyumi. "Teto, if you don't mind me asking, when were you last in school?"

"Oh! Uh... six years ago? When I was eight."

"That means.. you haven't been in school since Grade 3..?"

"Yeah? I mean. I know a lot of stuff because I researched it! Fact checking an all!' The girl smiled, not that bothered by her lack of education.

"I see.. well." Fuyumi smiled. "Can you please find Eri? The cookies have been almost baked?"

"Yes ma'am!" Giving a salute, she immediately ran to find the small child.

As soon as the red head left, the woman's smile dropped. "They should be focusing on trying to get into hero school right now. Not looking after their younger siblings..." Fuyumi felt a little bit of pity towards those girls. But, despite everything, they still had a smile on their faces.

Chapter Text

"I want you to hold onto my quirk for a while."

Neru stared at All Might. It was seven in the morning on a Saturday.

"What?"

"Well you see," the man eyed Izuku who was currently trying to drag a fridge across the sand. "My quirk - One for All - almost destroyed my body when I first gained it. This training is intending to strengthen his body to handle the power but..."

"There's a chance it could still destroy his body?"

All Might nodded. "Correct young Akita." It was odd seeing All Might so solemn.

Neru was silent for a moment. "So you think if I hold onto it for a while, my quirk might be able to ease One for All's power?"

The man nodded. "Correct. It fuses with the quirk of it's current holder."

"But... when I give it to Izuku, will I still have my quirk?"

The man stilled and rubbed his head. "I don't know."

She stared at the hair. It was taunting her. Her throat went dry. She could take it. She could give the quirk to All for One. Be rid of that damned debt and live out the rest of their lives peacefully. But... All Might trusted her, surprisingly enough. Enough to trust her with One for All! If she betrayed him... God only knows how much he would hate her. How much Izuku would hate her. Would Eri hate her too? Would Teto? Society as a whole would hate her. She'd go down as the person who doomed all of Japan!

Neru's shoulders tensed before her gaze moved to Izuku. He was so weak, even despite her own training with the boy. A dry laugh left her throat. "Man," her hand went to the back of her head. "I sure wish I didn't drop out of school..." letting out an exhale she stared at her hand. "I've had this quirk since I was like two. I can't even imagine a time without it..." she stared at the skeleton-like man. "I do apologise Mr. All Might, but I have to decline. At least for the time being. I would like to still be able to punch people really hard."

Now would be a perfect time to tell All Might that All for One was alive. That he had brainwashed a child into hating him! Tomura might hate her for ratting them out, but it would be better then letting this web of lies only grow.

She gave a cheery smile, demonstrating her quirk slightly. "I don't know what I'd do without it. I can't turn it off but it has helped in some pretty dire situations.

All Might gave a compassionate look. "I understand young Akita. If you ever change your mind, let me know."

The girl nodded, gripping her hands tighter. She couldn't stop them from trembling. She needed a distraction.

"Oh damn it. Today's the last Friday of the month."

"It is. Why?"

Neru grimaced. "Have you ever had to order from three different places for a bunch of rabid children?"

It was a small tradition that they had. On the last Friday of the month Tomura would come over to their apartment and they would all have takeaway together. It was a small, but it was nice.

Tomura was teaching Eri how to play Pokémon since Call of Duty is too violent for a five year old to play. Miku was humouring the older boy by explaining the type chart to the girl. Teto was busy making bread for the next day and Dabi was helping Neru with orders.

"So Tomura wants a donner kebab. We'll need to stop at the kebabish then... Teto wants a spice bag. No veg. Miku wants honey chicken. Eri will be getting chicken nuggets and chips." The blonde looks up at the black haired man. "What do you want?"

The man looked over the menu again. "I think I'll get the crispy prawns in batter." The girl nodded before scribbling it down on the sheet of paper. "But seriously, I can go and get the food. You stay here."

Neru shook her head. "I have a system!"

"Oh yeah! She's a master at going to every shop!" Teto chimed in. "I wouldn't be surprised if she had a secret list of how long everything takes to be cooked!"

Neru nodded proudly. "Yep!"

"Besides, she never tells us what she wants so we can't order for her." Teto added, which caused Neru's face to redden slightly.

"I'm the oldest. You shouldn't be burdening yourselves.."

Dabi inhaled sharply. "Yep, I'm nod unpacking that." He swiped the list off a now angered Neru.

"Hey!"

"I'm the oldest now, right?"

"Yeah..."

"That means I should get the food, by your logic."

Neru spluttered. "Give that back you ass! How dare you use my own logic against me!!"

"No. Tell me what you want."

"Never!!"

In the end, both Dabi and Neru left to get the food, as to not cause an argument.

"Don't burn and or disintegrate the place down!" Neru shouted before leaving.

Tomura glared at the closed door. "I feel like that was directed towards me..."

Miku shook her head. "Nah. She says that all the time. Especially after the rice incident..."

Tomura could only stare at Miku.

"I'm not allowed behind a gas stove anymore..."

"Ah no! Help!" Yelled a panicked Eri as she was looking at the screen. The player character was currently falling off a cliff. "W-what do I do??"

Tomura could only chuckle. "Don't worry. That's ment to happen, see?"

As soon as he finished his sentence, the fused form of Zekrom, Reshiram and Kyurem showed up to save Eri's character. She was making great progress in Pokémon Black and White 6. She was just after defeating the secret lovechild of Ghetsis and Colress, Ryan Harmonia.

Eri's eyes widened as she watched her character be saved. "Oh." Miku gently pet her head.

"Don't worry. You'll get revenge on Ryan for pushing you off the airship!"

"Uh... guys?" Teto said slowly, staring at the window. "Why is there an oversized lizard pressing his face on the window?"

Miku, Tomura and Eri turned towards the window and saw a man with a reptilian quirk outside their house.

"I smelt bread."

There was an odd silence surrounding the apartment. The lizard man was staring at Teto's scales that surrounded her neck and shoulders. Teto immediately stiffened up when she noticed it. Before any more words could be made, Miku created a sword made out of her lazer-energy things. She wasn't really sure what they were.

"You're not getting between Teto's bread and me!!!" She teal girl yelled before charging at the lizard man. The lizard man yelped in fear and quickly skedaddled all the while the twin-taled girl chased him down.

Teto could only let out a sigh.

"How fire is your bread?" Tomura asked the girl slowly.

"Good enough for Miku to chase down someone for it."

"Huh."

There was a silence before Teto exhaled. "That guy has been outside every time I'm making bread. It's getting annoying!" Eri stood up to give her older sister a small pat on the back.

"You know," Tomura began. "I'm surprised you aren't more freaked out. I could dust him for you."

Teto shook her head. "That'll only cause more problems and you know that."

Tomura made a grunting noise before looking at the TV screen. "Holy shit is that a shiny Dugrio?!"

By the time Neru and Touya had come home, Miku had returned, albeit with a couple more scratches then she had before. Neru decided for the sake of her mental health, she was not going to comment on it.

As the group of six began to eat their respective foods, Eri spoke up. "Mr. Tomura, you mentioned 'dusting' earlier. What is that?" She tilted her head as she asked her question. Neru choked on her food as Tomura grinned.

"Well ya see," the man began. "If I touch something with all five fingers, then I can turn them to dust." He looked around the table before finding a napkin. Demonstrating his quirk, he placed all five fingers on it, turning it to dust. "Woah..." Eri's eyes flashed with awe and fear. The man chuckled. "So, if you don't behave, I'll have to dust you!" The man waggled his hands in a fake intimating way. The elighted squeals within the young girl who chose to hide behind Touya, who was also looking at the blue-haired man in awe.

"Oh damn-" he coughed as Eri dived into the black-haired man's chest. Miku cackled as Teto immediately pulled out her phone to take a picture of the scene in front of her. Neru let out a sigh before shovelling a spoonful of egg fried rice into her mouth. It was a chaotic scene yes, but the selfish part of her wished that it would last forever.
