« If anything comes to mind, don't hesitate to contact us. » « I know how this works, » Kyoko grumbled.
Hawks sighed. He suspected that the attack had been fatal to the young policewoman's morale, but it hadn't helped her character, which was not at all inclined to cooperation. The winged hero then glanced at his companion: his spitting image in younger form... His son, Haru. He resembled him in every way except that he looked a little more serious at the same age. The latter seemed to have lost nothing from the exchange and a thousand ideas were already brewing in his head, Hawks could see that. He smiled a somewhat proud smile, just enough to avoid being noticed and to break his professional image.
« It was clearly a warning. Your family has been placed under police protection. If this group ever tries to attack them, we will be the first to act, » Hawks assured. « They don't know my sister...» Kyoko muttered with a smile.
This time it was Haru's turn to smirk.
« And let's hope they don't know her. Anyway, give us a call if anything comes up. Get well soon, Miharu-san.»
Kyoko exchanged a glance with Haru for a moment. They seemed to understand each other but didn't go into details, at least not verbally. The meeting was over and the Takami were about to spread their wings, heading for the upstairs balcony when Heisuke and Shin walked up to Kyoko's room. Shin gritted his teeth. Hawks was already high in the sky, his red wings carrying him when Icarus stopped short of the boy.
« I- » Shin began. « Haven't we met somewhere before?! » exclaimed Haru, his avian eyes looking curiously yet harshly at Shin. « I-... it depends! If it's between 7 p.m. and 2 a.m. .... Trade with my lawyer. Oh, here he comes now! Oh Kaji-san! »
And so, like a cat and a dog looking at each other, Kaji and Haru seemed to hate each other. No words were exchanged. It was as if the sun met the moon. Icarus looked at the young Shin one last time and spread his golden wings, one of them made of metal. He rose into the air and disappeared into the night. Heisuke and Shin, who had been holding their breaths until now, were finally able to release the pressure.
« Was it just me, or was there some kind of tension? » muttered Shin, livid. « What did you do to Icarus now, you moron? » asked Heisuke, white as a ghost. « Nothing, I swear! You don't forget something like that. » « Hey. You idiots, » Kaji's firm voice thundered.
The idiots in question straightened up at attention, as if in the army.
« Yes! » « Kyo asks to see you... If you tire her out I'll kick your ass, is that clear? »
The two boys seemed to hesitate for a moment, but after exchanging a glance, they decided to move towards Kyoko's room. Heisuke felt his stomach twist. Miharu-san was in a bad shape. Even without using her quirk much, he knew that she was a real force of nature, it was showing in her look, in her way of behaving with them. Something inside him broke, his heart perhaps, at the thought of seeing someone so strong having come so close to death.
Kyoto smirked as she watched the two young men freeze.
« Are you going to stand there like two idiots for long? Sit down, I'm not going to bite you, » Kyoko ordered firmly but gently.
They complied without further ado, but they remained as straight as spikes. Kaji stood at the entrance, arms crossed over his chest as if waiting for something.
« Boys, why the long face? I'm not dead. It takes a lot more to beat me."
The words did not reassure Heisuke and Shin. Both of them clenched their fists on their knees, as if to endure the situation. Kyoko and Kaji did not have time to look at each other for long. They knew that something was wrong.
"Miharu-san," began Heisuke. "If you had died that night, all our efforts to integrate U.A. would have been like a sacrifice. You took the time with Kaji-san to raise us up when no one wanted to hear about a bastard son of a villain. To die now… It's frustrating just to think about it. You haven't seen anything yet!"
This time, Heisuke's voice grew louder. He looked at Kyoko with eyes full of determination.
"Don't die before you see us at the top. Please!"
And in an almost synchronized gesture, Shin and Heisuke lowered their heads further into a formal, respectful request. Kyoko blinked in surprise, mouth agape. Kaji hid a smile and turned her head away slightly. Those kids had managed to nail Kyo's beak! he thought.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
«  Clearly someone is going to do something. » she believed. 
Sirens were not yet to be heard in Osaka and yet, it was chaos in the street. A truck just destroyed an entiere shop. People on the way managed, in panic, to get away just before, but inside, it was wild, the jungle.
Sara Ohara, a student in exchange for U.A, from America, was having a day off and saw the event. She witnessed the accident and was about to do something when she heard in the back of her head the lesson of her teacher : «  Those who have license can officially use their quirks in the street. They are seen as heroes because the government allows it.But if you use your quirk without a license, not only you will be shipped out of Japan ASAP, but you will be considered vigilante, hence, placed in prison. » «  Even for death or life situation ? » she asked that day. 
«  Please !! Someone help !! Mommy is stuck !! » heard Sara. 
The sixteen years old future hero opened her eyes wild, as if this voice, crying, begging for help was awakening something in her. Hell to the law! She crossed the street where people tried to stop her by « Oi ! Miss ! You can’t go there, it’s too dangerous! » Sara searched for the voice and found a little girl, pulling her mother's arm, held prisonner by a large portion of the wall about to collapse. Apparently, they were too slow… Sara approached and tried to move the wall by the sole force of her arms. No chance.
«  Mommy please ! » cried the little girl «  Please wake up- Please! » 
«  Hey sweetie. Sweetie » tried Sara with all the kindness the situation allowed her to give.
«  Look, I need you to step aside. I’m gonna try something, ‘kay ? » 
The little girl’s eyes were full of tears and her face dusty. She couldn’t calm herself but nodded. Sara smiled at her, briefly. She then took a deep breath and her vocal cords started to resonate. The war started to tremble, so did the floor. The little girl hanged to her rabbit plushie but at the moment the wall was destroyed, reduced to a simple pile of sand, she screamed « mommy ! » and hanged to her neck. Sara held her throat, a bit out of breath but was happy. She did something.
She helped the mother to walk out of the rambles with her arm on her shoulder. 
«  Freeze !! » she suddenly heard. «  Leave the lady and the child alone and get on your knees, hands on the back of your head ! »
The police just arrived, armed and ready to shoot. Sara didn’t comprehend what was happening. She simply was too stunned to speak… And her voice was painful. Only a broken one could be heard now.
«  I’ll do it! I’m sorry ! » 
«  She didn’t do anything ! » the little girl tried to say. « Once-chan saved my mommy ! » 
«  Sweetie it’s okay. Be good and help your mom walking away from me. » said Sara with a smile to reassure her. 
«  But- »  
«  It’s going to be okay. I’m gonna explain to them. I swear. Now go! »
The little girl was about to cry again when she finally obeyed and nodded. Sara left the woman and placed her hands on the back of her head. When the little girl was out of reach, she panicked, pale. She was a sixteen years old student from U.A but disobeyed the law… And apparently, they believed her to be responsible of this accident. 
She saw a police officer handing a screen that identified her face. 
«  Sara Ohara, quirk : Siren -molecules manipulation by vocal resonance. Be extremely careful! She is a foreigner. » 
«  But I’m also a student from U.A ! » screamed Sara, shaking.
«  Please, put down your weapons, I swear I won’t do any- ARGH!! »
Sara didn’t even finished her sentence when she received a voltage in her back. She started to scream her lungs out to the sky out of pain and the four buildings around her suffered the choc and a rain of glasses fell on everybody. She fell on her knees, tears at the corner of her eyes, dark liner tracing her cheeks.
The police started to freak out and they pointed their guns on her again when a strong voice resonated. 
«  PUT THOSE FUCKING WEAPONS DOWN, SHE IS JUST A KID. »
Sara’s heart was beating rapidly in her chest. She saw a man with a respective presence entering the zone with light brown hair, ice-like eyes and he was, subjectively and if she could have the luxury of time judge that, sort of handsome. But most importantly, he grabbed the pistol of the officer who was delivering volts in the body of the teenager. He stopped this torture and remove the electrodes before putting a very-very cold hand on her back where she was attacked.
«  I expect a report and your resignation letter as soon as we are heading back to the station » ordered Touya with a tone that was Endeavor’s.
«  I- I present my excuses, Captain Todoroki. » tried the officer. 
«  Tell that to others » barked Touya.
Sara’s lower lip trembled and everything was dark now. She closed her eyes and collapsed. Touya caught her and glanced at the team. 
«  What are you waiting for ? Help the civilians, NOW » 
Everything started to move again, in order. Touya carried the young student and gave her to the medic… 
«  Touya. » 
The captain of the station brushed his hair and was about to massage his forehead for the headache to come when he heard a certain voice. Firefly, with her dark long coat and her detached and heavy red hair looked at her brother with a serious expression. How came that everytime, she could just enter a scene like this one without being noticed.
«  You saw this ?! » asked gravely Touya.
«  I just arrived. I heard my big brother’s angry voice, enough to make me going faster. » 
Firefly glanced at the young future hero. She was around the age of Sayuri and that was why Touya was so widely triggered. 
«  She’s going to be fired. U.A will probably not be taking her, not to mention America. » 
«  You’re well-informed. » 
«  I have the boogeyman in my team » smiled Akari a bit. «  But you know it would be a waste. Today a mom can walk with her little girl thanks to her actually doing something… When she wakes up, give her my name. »
Akari lighted up her fists and in a matter of seconds, she was already gone, in a ghostly blue fire.

𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚗 𝚃𝚘𝚍𝚘┆
profession : U.A student (15)
quirk : target - Like Tomi or Hawks with eyes or feathers, Shin is able to control the trajectory of an object once thrown by him. The maximum range of his control is undeniably one of the reasons why he is by far the perfect assassin. The control only ends when the knife hits its target.
skills : Shin is probably more intelligent than Heisuke who is considered "street smart". His IQ is actually 160. In addition to his intelligence, Shin is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat, lock-picking and *spoilers* in the art of distracting attention and hiding his true intentions. (+later : cooking and baking)
some background : Shin is raised on the streets, just like Heisuke. His father was a professional gambler involved in organised crime and his mother, a bank robber who is a master at stealing diamonds across the country. Although their fame was great, they kept their identities secret so as not to attract attention. But this did not mean that they were loving, model parents. Shin was protected by anonymity, but he was often left to his own devices and often left in the corner while his parents planned a robbery or a scam. One day, the father stopped giving news. His mother, who was still madly in love with her husband, gradually sank into alcohol and depression, leaving her eight-year-old son to run the house. Since then, he has been living on theft and has taken part in clandestine fights that have forged his knowledge of life.
personality : even when he gets hit, Shin keeps smiling. He seems cheeky, gluttonous and a quick learner. Compared to Heisuke, Shin is an opportunistic powerhouse and addicted to street food and energy bars.

Kyoko opened her eyes to see not the asphalt of a cold, soulless car park, but a ceiling of scrolling neon lights. Pain shot through her entire body, paralyzing her as she passed. The sounds around her were concerting her in a void. Where was up, where was down: she no longer knew. Suddenly, the darkness again.
« Yeah, pepperoni for me and for those two idiots, the children menu » ordered Kaji. «  What ?! Those ridiculous tiny pizzas ?! Kaji-san… Kaji-san, you are underestimating my stomach » almost cried Shin. «  No, I’m watching my bank account closely. »
And not a fuck was given because in the last minutes, Shin ordered 3 more pizza for himself with a big smile. Kaji grabbed Shin by the collar but he was already trying to have a conversation with a nice girl who just came with her friends. Meanwhile, Heisuke seemed preoccupied and Dabi’s son noticed.
«  Hey. For someone who’s party was for, you look like shit. Relax, they just gave you a chance to prove them you’re not a no-good son of vilain. Enjoy. » «  I know, and I won’t forget that - thank you again, Kaji-san. But I can’t keep thinking about their looks on me. Is this getting better ? »
Kaji looked the dinner sign as to think about it.
When Dabi was alive, he was a proud son, a proud civilian boy whose mom always made sure he wasn’t getting the news by accident at the TV, especially during the chaos with the notorious One for All. The name « Todoroki » was given to him only a few years ago… So could he give Heisuke a correct answer ?
«  Look kid. World is already a shitty place where everybody is just waiting an excuse to hate somebody else. I ate the floor a few times before and after my name was made… Famous. Even if you try to keep a low profile, they will always get you and beat you up like they were doing something good for the society. Don’t let them have that. Don’t let them think you’re weak and most importantly, don’t give them a reason to believe you are just like them. »
«  Was it the same for you ? » asked Heisuke with a cold look and yet, kinda afraid of the answer. «  No, it was… Hard. But I got lucky. I got someone to remind me I was something more. »
The image of his mother came to his mind, then Kyoko.
Suddenly, he felt his phone ringing. He missed a few calls because of Shin getting all excited for food but those stopped his heart. He got pale and they were about to eat when it was Heisuke’s turn to notice something was wrong.
«  Kaji-san, are you okay ? » «  Who’s Kichi ? » asked Shin with his mouth full, reading the name of the contact who called seven times. «  Kyoko’s little sister— »
Kaji stood up, listened the voice messages for a while and in a second, went out without a word. The rush of adrenaline made him forget he was with the two teenagers who followed him, asking him what the heck was going on.
«  Seriously Kaji-san, what is happe- Something is happening with Kyoko-san. »
They arrived in front of the hospital when Shin understood.
Kaji entered and asked the name. He was about to repeat it twice more violently when a young school girl came in.
«  Kadji… » she cried with the same mirror-like eyes as her sister. «  Kichi… How is she ? Where is she ? »
Kaji took her into his arms and she bursted into tears.
The two of them felt like a big brother and a little sister. At least that was what they were giving as an impression. Heisuke and Shin felt like out of place. They glanced at each other and Kaji heard Shin proposing tea he would take at the machine.
Heisuke approached near the corridor where the emergency were. He then saw a bit of the room where his senpai was. He also saw something yellow, something red and something black. He grabbed his head and recognized three pro-heroes well-known.
«  Kaji-san. This is bad… Heroes are in her room… »
Kaji looked at Kichi, shocked.
«  What the fuck did she saw. » «  I- I don’t know Kadji. I don’t know why heroes are in my sister’s room, I swear ! Mom and dad were taking vacations so I was the first family member they contacted but, but I swear, they told me nothing ! Is my sister is in trouble ? Did a villain did that to her ?! »
The last sentence was a mix of anger and fear and several people here looked at Kichi and Kaji as if they were dangerous, as if the mention of villains was still a scar on the society. Kaji felt that and tried to calm his almost little sister.
«  I don’t know Kichi, but I know your sister is a strong monster. She will be fine, you’ll see, you know her okay ? Listen to me » he added, taking her face between his hands «  Listen… She’s gonna be okay. Promise. »
Kichi nodded softly and took refuge, one more time, into Kaji’s arms.
He rested his chin on top of her head and watched as nobody was about to give him an answer. Meanwhile, he realized somebody was missing.
«  Where the hell is Shin?… »
Shin slipped a few coins into the dispenser and waited silently for the tea. He wasn't comfortable in this kind of place but today his mind was elsewhere. His violet eyes found his reflection in the glass and he gritted his teeth. A few seconds later, he hit the glass so hard that it shattered under his fist.
« Did you touch her ? Hisa, did you touch her ? I swear, if you did… » «  If I did, what ? Shin. » breathed a female voice in his ear. « Don't turn around. »
The young boy clenched his teeth again, his fingers so tight they clenched into fists.
« She was starting to ask too many questions so the boss sent someone for her. Don't tell me you feel sorry for the detective or that you've already attached yourself to this bunch of misfits. Worse yet, don't tell me you've forgotten why you got into this. »
Shin disobeyed and plunged his cold gaze into the eyes of a young girl, no older than him... About his age really. She was a head shorter, a cheeky and frank face. Her eyes were blue, her hair long and black, her skin as white as a corpse's. She was not wearing a uniform, just a dark coat, jeans and a ratty t-shirt.
« I haven't forgotten... But by going after her, you've blown the chances of Heisuke joining us. Frankly, you're pitiful in your thinking »
Shin then felt a hand go over his shoulder. She slipped a few coins into the dispenser in turn. The way she almost touched him seemed to make his blood run cold.
« Don't forget why you're with us, Shin. Or you can go back to the miserable hole you were dragged out of. If you die tomorrow, no one will miss you. »
The two young ones stared at each other for a long time. A silent rage turned Shin's heart upside down. Then he calmed down and smiled again.
«  Always so aggressive in your words, Hisa. Do as you please. I'll continue with the mission you've entrusted me with. But don't forget that the first one to risk his skin here is me. » «  How can we forget that? You remind us at least once a day, »  Hisa grumbled. « If the detective talks to the heroes, we expect you to inform us. Don't forget, tick-tock Shin »
And as if to illustrate her point, the chocolate bar fell behind Shin. He turned for a second and when he tried to say something back, the hallway in front of him was relentlessly empty.
«  Dude, what are you doing? »  asked Heisuke, coming up from the other side. « You look... pale. Are you okay? » «  Yes!... Yes, of course! We're not going to leave Kaji-san alone! »  the young boy exclaimed with a smile. « Did Kyoko-san wake up? Did we let you in? » «  No we... We just saw some heroes. But I think it's only a matter of minutes before Kaji-san comes in and demands an explanation from whoever is in there. » «  Ah... I see... And did you see who was in her room? » «  Hawks. It was Hawks... And Icarus. »  said Heisuke.

Kaji hears about Dabi at school
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Kaji and Kyoko are about seventeen. It’s a boring day in high school, Kaji is looking at the window, probably not listening to the other students chatting. However, he hears « Dabi » in the classroom. « Haven’t heard about him in a while, maybe he’s dead. » He stays silent but his nails are entering in his palms and his blood is boiling. Suddenly, he feels Kyo’s soft hand on his. He looks at her kinda lost but she is giving him a kind smile. « Wanna eat ice cream after school ? It’s one me. »

«  Fuck, where is that kid. » snarled Kaji, looking at his watch.
He had been very lucky to get a jury, to play on the fact that Heisuke was young and impressionable when he was actually a ball of nerves. But was he going to bother to arrive on time. Kaji had been waiting in the hallway for over an hour, nervous. Fortunately, he was not sweating like a pig, he hated it, in his suit to defend the young boy. That's when he arrived. Heisuke was also wearing a suit for his audience but was terribly uncomfortable in it. Kaji sighed for a long time.
«  Where the hell were you ?! I’ve been waiting for an hour now. You’re lucky not to be more late ! » «  I know, I’m sorry ! I would have been there earlier without this fucking suit. »
Heisuke grumbled again, his fingers trying to tie his tie but without success. Kaji rolled his eyes and removed his fingers from the young man. He knotted his tie, wondering how he could read and write without having put on even one school uniform in fifteen years. When he finished, Kaji put his hand on his shoulder and a silence fell.
«  Okay. Let’s go now. » «  Wait ! I just… I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for believing in me… Kaji-san. First time we met, you told me all those things and I didn’t get it. But… »
Heisuke looked over his shoulder and addressed his lawyer in a low voice. «  No one could understand me better than you... You're the son of a villain too and you didn't let life walk over you. I hope that one day I will be like you. » Kaji widened his eyes at Heisuke's words. He didn't imagine that he would make the connection, that he would be smart enough to do so after all these years of pretending that he had no connection... He was just "Kaji-san" and was named after his mother, not the famous Todoroki, not Dabi.
« Okay, let’s go now, Kaji-san. »
This time, it was Kaji who took his time to enter. It was not a big room like in the movies, but there was a judge who looked as hard as a stone statue. Kaji sat down and he saw that Heisuke was standing straight like a soldier waiting. He was nervous. Well, good. At least it gave the judge the impression that he wasn't messing with him. « Naoko Heisuke, fifteen years. Assault and battery, theft, contempt of officers... Well.No family and... Son of a villain. » The judge closed the file she had in front of her and plunged her cold gaze into Heisuke's. He didn't flinch, but he felt like his stomach was turning. Never before had he been in front of this type of judge. « Your Honor, my client is, as you can see, only fifteen years old. He is not even old enough to pretend to drive a car yet. You have read the file, but I will summarize it for you. It is true that Heisuke here was born to a father who is a danger to society and who has killed hundreds of people, but what you forget to read is that his own mother tried to kill him when he was still a child. And a few years later, his mother disappears, without a trace. Now you might think that it's over, but it's not. Not only does she leave him, but she leaves him in one of the worst neighborhoods in our city. As you know, Muscular has made some enemies. What choice does that leave a kid who should be out playing soccer. »
While Kaji was telling the details of the boy's life, he heard the door open. He saw Kyoko take her place at the back of the room. He suppressed a smile.
« And even though he is just starting to live, he knows today that his path is not a bad one because people will be there to watch him. Your Honor, I am not trying to convince you that Naoko Heisuke is not innocent. I'm trying to convince you that condemning him now would be a waste. »
Kaji thanked the judge for listening to him and settled back down next to Heisuke. « That's quite a speech you're giving us. But you know, I remember a young man of barely eighteen years who also lived with a beautiful family, a beautiful dog. A few years later, a villain found him and months of carnage followed. I think we all remember Tomura Shigaraki. It is out of the question to leave any chance to the dangers. I'd rather warn them than let them go free. »
There was a slight cracking sound. From the corner of his ear, Kaji heard Heisuke's fists clench. A rage was silently manifesting itself in his body, but he did not activate his quirk, as one would have expected from him.
As for Kaji, he was also boiling with rage but he contained himself in the presence of justice. He would help Heisuke, he had promised. « Your honor, if you raise a dog like a dog, don't be surprised if he behaves like a dog. A police officer vouched for Naoko Heisuke. He has left the slums he used to live in. He's working hard to get into U.A. This is not the way the bad guys start. If we abandon him now, then we are no better than the villains you strive to fight with justice. »
The judge looked at Kaji and Heisuke severely. Once again, the silence fell. Then the judgement came. « Naoko Heisuke, we give you one last chance to not honor your father's legacy. Fail and justice will catch up with you. Next case. »
Heisuke was speechless, his eyes wide open, nail marks in his palms. Kaji patted his client on the back to snap him out of his reverie and make way for the next trial. Once in the hallway, Heisuke received another, stronger, blow to his back.
« Look who finally made it!" cried Shin. "They didn't want you, did they?! » « How did you get in here? You of all people... » said Heisuke, raising an eyebrow. « Not bad for a start. Maybe you'll make a career, steam boy. » Kaji loosened his tie and smiled.
« And you, how did you get in here ? » répliqua Kaji. « I’m a cop, remember ? And I promised. You did a great job today Kaji. Proud of you. » «  You gonna make me cry » laughed Kaji. « He’s a smart kid, smarter than I thought. » «  Maybe because he is actually smarter than you at the same age. » «  Ah ah. Very funny. »
Kaji rolled his eyes but didn’t take it personally. He knew that was their way to communicate since always.
«  What are you going to do now ? Kid is out for now… And his admission to U.A is soon. Honestly, I thought you wouldn’t help that much, knowing your past with heroes and vilains… » «  I could say the same with you. Heard some rumors. About Hawks. » «  Shit… Yeah he… He came. »
Silence then.
Kyoko didn’t seem thrilled about it. Actually, she wasn’t about to say much but she needed to, considering her ton and expression. She was anxious. However, Kaji didn’t say anything.
« At least he keeps you out of trouble. » « Are you doubting, steam boy ? » « Hell no. I know you kick asses more than some heroes. I trust you completely. » « I feel better now. »
They exchanged one last knowing look. Kyoko felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and her smile faded to a more serious expression. «  Kaji » «  Go. I'll tell Heisuke that you got a case. You're just missing out on the victory pizza. » «  What a sacrifice. » «  See you later then. »
x x x
Kyoko walked silently but something familiar turned her stomach. A feeling of deja-vu, an uneasy feeling like the one she had experienced in Heisuke's building. When she got to the car door, she looked at her reflection for a few moments and her eyes widened. Everything happened in a fraction of a second. She stepped aside and the window in front of her suddenly exploded. « Who are you?! » she shouted, ready to draw her weapon. But an invisible force pulled it from its holster. Kyoko gritted her teeth, darkness fell in the parking, the lights flickered dangerously, giving her very little visibility ahead of her. « You think you're useful. » said a voice that broke her heart again. « You think you're making a difference, like the heroes. But you are nothing. I admire your tenacity, but face it: you hide behind a mask, like them. » « At least I'm not hiding in the dark, » Kyoko spat coldly. Kyoko had good reflexes but she was not prepared for this. Hawks was right to warn her but she was so stubborn that she didn't listen. She was about to throw a punch, thinking she had seen a shape in front of her for a quarter of a second, but her arm was suddenly countered and an intense pain seizing her shoulder. A rusty blade had hit a vein as her blood spurted out and before she could even counterattack, she felt a new pain in her lower abdomen. Again she let out a scream and felt her blood cover the ground where her knees hit. Then she felt a pressure on her throat that took her breath away. « Thank you for your services. » Kyoko clenched her teeth and grabbed, despite the pain and cold the arm of her assailant that she blocked and bit it with rage. Touched by a sudden wave of adrenaline, the young woman pulled towards her the person and gave her a punch well placed to the point of putting her at her level. She seized a sharp piece of glass and planted it in what seemed to her to be the throat. She shoved it down with force, hearing her assailant drown in his own blood... But before she could pull back her makeshift weapon, a new pain tore a howl from her lower back. « Once again, I appreciate your tenacity, Miharu. But it's time to give up now. » The shape in front of her disappeared, dropping the shard of glass to the ground. Her assailant plunged his blade even further into her back before pulling it out. Kyoko fell on her stomach, wading through a pool of blood, her breathing becoming more and more difficult. Finally, she looked up at a disappearing shape. « Kaji... » she whispered before closing her eyes.

...ah come on. Let's talk.
Touya Todoroki (22nd of April) has indeed an ice quirk but not only. His quirk is a combination between Kaji's and Kyoko's. Unlike her, he can create portals from any ice surface and also attack if necessary. He's the oldest of the two, open-minded, reliable and has the tendency like his mother to shut his emotions in crisis. In character, he is closer to the Miharu side, also a mamma boi ♡ (talented for cooking, likes soba, wears glasses and wants to be like his parents).
Akari Todoroki (13th of august) has also indeed, a fire quirk from Kaji. However, due to her mother's constitution, she burns faster and hotter and cannot use this ability without getting injured. The combination of these two quirks made her regressed to Dabi's level while the next generation is supposed to be stronger than the previous one. Her attitude is open and like my friend said, she's got some Dabi expressions. (she can be rude but is very attached to her father, she learned by herself Dabi's way of controlling his fire and became a vigilante later known as Firely).
Haru has a kid ? What about Kaji ? Is he going to have children ? What are they like ? Do you think his relationship with Dabi could have an influence ?
Ehem...
Tumblr media
Ok, so. First off, to get more information you can visit @ariesborn cause we've been creating a whole universe and I feel is not stopping SKDJSHFJS.
I'll start with Haru cause he's still on development, but yes, he has a child. Three, actually. Two girls and the youngest is Osamu.
Now, Kaji... Yes. He has two children, Todoroki Touya, and Todoroki Akari. Tou is calm, ice quirk, smart, strong, very family oriented. More like Shoto and Rei. Akari, on the other hand is a bit explosive, lots of emotions, and adrenalinic. She has a fire quirk and she's more like Dabi.
As for their relations... It depends, you all know I like keeping things canon so I wanna elaborate more on that after knowing if he dies or lives. Anyhow, Kaji loves his dad, but he can tell he has done terrible things, and he will never be like that. So he raised his children in a loving and supportive way, telling them about Dabi and all at proper ages. If he is alive, then he is taking them to see him, yes.
Exta info: Kaji's first son is Touya, who is 3 years older than Akari. And Akari? She's dating Osamu. Yes.
THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN THIS AU RIGHT NOW KSJFAKFKSKD

« In my office, now. »
The chief was adamant about his order. Kyoko followed him without question and opened her eyes wide when the door closed behind her. Someone was already waiting for them in the office and it was impossible not to recognize him.
« Chief... » « Hi, I guess you know why I'm here. »
An optimistic smile, big red wings and blond hair. The winged hero, Hawks was in the office of the Chief of Police and at the same time represented the Commission. Kyoko looked at her Chief, he was red with anger and she knew why. However, she stayed calm, the calm that would serve her later on.
« I think I have an idea. » « Let's get this done as quick as possible. Hawks, in the name of my department, I apologize for my recruit. Miharu-san's father was captain before and because of that, she thinks she can do what she wants. » « Yes, I heard about the famous captain Miharu! Lots of good things. He was a good man. » « He is. My father isn't dead, Hawks. " said Kyoko with an adamant voice. "As for my investigation... » « You're not a detective, Miharu. Now, hand over the files to Hawks. »
Kyoko gritted her teeth.
The Commission thought they were above detectives on this one because Stain was too important to be handled by mere policemen. Just because they didn't have the license to use their quicks freely didn't mean they were useless though. Kyoto's gaze held Hawks'. He smiled. This was the first time she had seen a hero and her image of him was not even close.
« Captain, can you give us a moment, please? I think this is going to take a moment. »
The chief grunted and left his office not without grumbling. It didn't take a genius to see that the presence of the winged hero was embarrassing him to the core. She stared at the hero for a few moments and his smile only got bigger. It was filled with benevolence that had most likely put many people at ease before.
« You are as stubborn as a hero I know. " he began. » « Don't start, Hawks. Not everyone may approve of the system in place, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're always villains. » « Is that why you won't cooperate? Because you think that the heroes are the system in place and that they don't deserve the trust that is placed in them? »
Kyoko gritted her teeth again. He was saying something that would almost accuse her of collaborating with the same people she was chasing and yet his smile was disarming. He then became more serious.
« You know that the world is not the same as it was when the league was active. The heroes are not the same anymore, otherwise why support two future aspirants to enter U.A? »
This time it was surprise that Hawks read on the young woman's face. He laughed rather proudly at her reaction and Kyoko shuddered as she felt the draft caused by his wings.
« How... » « Commission! And then it's not hard to see that underneath that cold looking layer is someone decent... Otherwise why hide your files from us? It is not because you are trying to hide something from us, but you want to do something good for society, like your father. In that you are admirable. »
Hawks held Kyoko's gaze, a thin warm smile still on his lips.
She found herself disarmed by it and the icy appearance she always approached with the other policemen faded a little. The winged hero's gaze lingered behind her, on her shoulder, but he looked her straight in the eye again.
« I'm not asking you to stop doing your job. I'm just asking you to step away... The Commission has been on this case for a long time. Heroes are still under the law. We can freely use our quirks to defend ourselves without it backfiring too much... But you can't. You would be seen as a vigilante, an outlaw. » « You are assuming that I would not know how to defend myself. » « Far from that ! » Hawks exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air. « But let's just say you can never be too careful. Those people you are following, they are extremist in Stain's philosophy. Compromise isn't an option for them. »
Kyo glared at the winged hero. Neither of them seemed to want to give up, motivated by the need to do their job. Was she hostile by nature and apprehension? Was she hostile by nature and apprehension? Was she hostile out of resentment of the world the heroes had left behind years after the One for All affair? Probably... It would take a few more years before trust would return. Fortunately, Hawks didn't seem to be one of the heroes who had started doing this job for the sake of the glitter. No... They had left the scene a long time ago. They had left first, so to speak, leaving the police overwhelmed. Even today, Kyoko and her colleagues were still suffering from decades of being protected by the deceitful society of heroes.
Finally, she sighed, admitting defeat.
« As you wish, Hawks. My files, I'll give them to you for the gesture. I'm certainly not going to promise you that my ears will remain deaf to the rumors on the street. Does that sound like a fair compromise to you? » Hawks smiled. At least he had half a promise. He knew, however, that they would have to stay in touch.
«  It’s good to know we still have people like you in the police. » «  I could say the same about you… I’m surprised you took the time to come to the station. It’s not usually a job heroes does. » « Well, it’s not like twenty years ago » Hawks said, scratching the back of his neck. « We don't have as many heroes as we used to… »
Kyoko did not question Hawks' statement. Japan would never again have such a low crime rate with the demise of the hero profession. Now it was a call to arms rather than a vocation. The glamour was gone, no matter how much people tried to persuade themselves otherwise.
« But I have faith in the future. I'm sure that future generations will take over. I am sure that future generations will take over, » Hawks finally admitted, being the eternal optimist that he was, a beacon of faith and hope.

As a child, Kyoto was always a little bit of a tom-boy.
She wasn’t feminine, didn’t play with a doll but in the mud. She loves to fight, to run, to laugh without paying attention the her look. She was, however, pretty small and older boys always made fun of her. She was that odd little cop’s daughter who the girls laughed in her back. At first, as little girl, she was okay with that. She watched kids playing at football while she was scratching her knees climbing trees.
Kyoko remembered then that little boy of her class. She was between five or six years old the first time she met Kaji. He was also that strange kid with a mother but no dad. She remembered the heat of that day when she was between three older boys who bullied her.
«  You want your bag so bad, bug ? » mocked the first one. «  Look how she’s running ! » said the second while he received the bag the first kid threw at it. «  Give it back !! » yelled the little six years old Kyoko, running from one kid to another. «  No way, this is too funny ! What are you going to do ? Tell you daddy ? »
The three boys mocked Kyoko, continuing to throw the bag. The little girl continued to run between them. She was afraid because they were taller, but also angry and sad. Tears of anger. She was so tiny it was useless. She was also getting tired but not them. Kyoko stopped. She was fierce but she was also alone.
« What now ? You want to cry ? » «  You’re not a girl, you’re just a baby ! » «  I’m not ! » cried Kyoko. «  Yes you are ! » «  Stop it ! Why are you so mean with Kyoko !! »
The three older boys turned to the little boy who dared stoping them in their game. It was the first time Kyoko really met Kaji Todoroki.
«  Miharu… Miharu ! Miharu, wake up! »
Kyoko opened her eyes, face against her desk. It was the police station, it was her desk, it was the morning. She wasn’t often at her apartment since she started working for the police and with years, it wasn’t going to be easier. Kyoko knew her father had quiet a reputation before he got stuck in a wheelchair. Was she here now because of a dream of hers of a promise made years ago ? Probably a little bit of both but one thing for sure, she was dedicated.
«  Don’t you have a nice boyfriend back home ? » asked her colleague. «  Don’t you have a nice wife to satisfied back home ? » she answered back, perhaps too sharply. «  I’m sorry… »
Kyoko bragged the bridge of her nose in an attempt to finally wake up.
«  The night was short and I have those damn old papers to read… » «  The Stain lovers ?… Miharu, this isn’t your case. This is an investigation for the Commission. Heroes, not tiny cops like us ! » «  Which is why we have papers and not computers to read the oldest report of when Stain was an actual threat. Fucking Commission… » «  Hey !! Lower your voice !! » whispered her co-worker. Everyone in the station knew it was only a matter of time before Kyo’s little investigation would reach the boss… « It’s a shame you never asked to work for them. With your quirk… You might have been hell of an agent. Like Hawks but- »
Eventually, Kyoko stopped listening to her colleagues. Her quirk, reflexion, was useful but not as impressive as fierce wings or even rifle. She could teleport and spy on people… But the second part of her quirk was only known to one person : her best friend.
«  Anyway, don’t take it personally, but you of all people should just drop the case. You already have your hands full with the surveillance of that bastard. »
Kyoko heard that. She was about to answer with a sharp and cold comment when her phone started ringing. She saw the name « Steam boy » and she did not wait to pick up.
«  Don’t think you are calling me right in the morning just to say hi ? » she said, still looking at her colleague to make him understand to just leave.
«  Somebody’s in a mood. » answered Kaji, raising an eyebrow. «  I just woke up and my colleagues are telling me what to do. Chain of command was always hard for me to respect, you know that. »
Suddenly, Kyoko smiled. Kaji was still in his apartment, watching a sleepy Heisuke in the guest room. Working as a lawyer had its perks, like having lots of money. He wasn’t going to complain much, at least someone here was enjoying the place.
«  I took Heisuke to my place. He crashed his building. Have you seen the news ? » Kaji turned then to the TV. It wasn’t great news, but they said an abandoned building had been destroyed during the night, or at least a big part of it. «  Just to keep an eye on him, you know ? »
Kyoko’s smile dropped. She remembered the time when muscular destroyed buildings and made people homeless. She remembered the day her dad took a bullet in the spine because of this chaos. No way Heisuke was going to take this path but his anger and files were a big problem.
«  You did good but… You should have told me first » she whispered. « People here are waiting just the right time to arrest what they think Heisuke is going to become- » «  A vilain ?  They think that, really ? »
Kyoko sensed the frustration in Kaji's voice. He had made sure to keep his voice down so as not to wake Heisuke, but he didn't know that Heisuke could hear everything. He ran a hand through his hair, scratching at the only slightly white spot, one of the few clues that linked him to Dabi and the Todoroki family.
« No way I'm leaving him behind. The kid can make it. I don't necessarily agree with your decision to let him join U.A., but if that's what he wants then fine... Besides, he doesn't seem to want to be like the others clamoring for the spotlight. No, I think the kid wants more than that...» « Cry me a river » Kyoko teased. « Like you're any different, freak.»
He heard her laugh on the other end of the line and sketched a smile before turning serious again.
« The hearing is soon... I think I can present enough evidence to keep him out of those juvenile homes. It would really make a difference if you could come in and testify on his behalf. » « Kaji, I don't see how...» « I need a law enforcement representative to tip the scales in his favor a little more. The fact that we don't flaunt it in public helps. » « Count me in if it helps him then. » « Miharu. In my office, now! » ordered the chief. « I have to leave you. » « Mh. Pizza tonight. » « Always. »

Fun fact !
It's oc canon and was the subject of a very long discussion. I let Isidearie announcing her Intel about Kaji but Kyoko's birthday is the 15th of september (born in Tokyo), making her a Virgo, ascending Scorpio. Perfect match for Kaji who is a Scorpio, ascending Libra 💞

Hi, will Kaiji having a kid in your future writings be the AU where Touya is not dead? Would it canonically change in the non-AU if Touya does get a good ending in the manga of him not being dead?
Hellow ! First, I want to take my time to finish Investigation because it settles Kyo and Kaji's relationship ! Second, just like @dabiboy, I want to stay as close as possible with the canon universe. Several possibilities for him:
Dabi dies (simple and sad)
Dabi is in prison for his crime
Dabi lives but is absent
Now as a Dabi fan, I want him to live !! It's more dramatic. I strongely think... I could write the AU where he's alive..... Sorry Isidearie. I have to make a choice !!

I mean, will we get grandpa Touya and grandma MC 👀
According to @dabiboy, grandpa Touya could be dead in this timeline because Dabi is a doomed character so perhaps not 🥺 buuuuut grandma would totally be a thing 💞

Once again, Heisuke had just fallen asleep on a notebook in his small kitchen.
His table was laden with all kinds of detritus, from cans to spilled cans, dripping with unidentified liquid. He lived alone and wasn't a big fan of housekeeping, and why should he be? He hated this place.
Heisuke tried to dream, to remember the last time he had felt at home, protected and not fighting in the corner of an alley, showing his fangs like a stray dog to keep his piece of food. He remembered his mother's hand, pressed against his nose and mouth and holding his head underwater. Heisuke remembered the suffocation, the need to breathe, but the water was already in his lungs.
He also remembered the awakening of his quirk-muscles, the pain he felt as they began to cover his six-year-old arms. Heisuke dreamed of the night his mother had called him a monster.
" It will be a service to humanity to make you disappear. " her voice echoed in his head.
It drummed, amplified in a whirlwind when he finally woke up. Heisuke's eyes shone with a wet glow. He tried to catch his breath, but he couldn't. He knew only too well what was happening to him: a panic attack.
Heisuke fell from his chair and instinctively crawled against the wall in front of him. He pressed his back against it, drops of sweat beading on his back. Soon, it was his forehead that was dripping with sweat. He trembled, his fist tightened. Then the muscles began to cover his hand. The terror was soon replaced by intense rage. He then gave a huge blow against the wall behind him, and it fell into dust. But did Heisuke care? No. As if this gesture filled with rage had injected him with a calming effect, he gradually recovered his breath. Then he looked at his fist and grumbled. Muscles glistening in places like diamonds had covered the entirety of his fist. He had activated his quirk without really realizing it.
After blowing for a long time, the young teenager closed his eyes.
He deactivated his quirk and his face became more peaceful. He held his hand to his heart and was almost revolted at the feeling of losing control. Furthermore, he had just demolished a wall and for what? For a simple nightmare!
"You fool," Heisuke growled as he took his head in his hands. "
A cracking sound reached his ears. Heisuke looked up at the ceiling to see part of it collapsing.
He almost jumped when he heard the rain suddenly pouring into his kitchen, quickly drowning his belongings.
"Idiot," Heisuke repeated, now furious because he had just demolished his apartment! "
Tumblr media
"You look like you slept under a bridge," Kaji threw out. "
And indeed, there was nothing to be proud of about his condition.
Heisuke looked like he had spent the night under a bridge judging by the smell of his soaked clothes and the dark circles under his eyes. He wore a grumpy expression and grumbled at his lawyer's comment, placing his hands behind his head.
"What if it was? he said forcefully. It's not like it can do anything at this point! I just have to study to take the U.A. entrance exam and you guys are in charge of the presentation to keep me out of jail. "
"Stop with the bad boy attitude," Kaji ordered dryly but with a hint of recoil. Something happened last night, huh? How do you expect me to help you look presentable in the eyes of society if you show up in front of the judges like that? They'll see another street kid to send to jail and they'll be happy. Why don't you start by telling me why you're carrying around a bag of stuff with you? "
Heisuke frowned and looked away shamefully.
There was, indeed, lying against the counter of the dinner, a backpack containing some clothes and books he had managed to save from the previous day's flood. Kaji was not stupid. He had read the file of the young midshipman at U.A. He had come a long way, he knew that now... It was not a reason to be sentimental, he had to remain impartial... But to know that he had been victimized by the hand of his own mother had plunged Kaji into a cold anger. So he was all the more eager to help him, and he wasn't the only one.
"I destroyed my squat..." muttered Heisuke in shame. "
"You did what?... asked Kaji, afraid he didn't understand. "
"I destroyed my squat! The young teenager snarled. "
Some customers then turned to the two men.
Kaji signaled to Heisuke to lower his voice slightly. Heisuke's face did not show the slightest bit of pride, however.
"I... I activated my quirk without paying attention and destroyed my apartment. "
"How can you activate a quirk without paying attention? No, never mind... Kaji said to herself, running her hand over her face. "
Heisuke interpreted this as shame on the part of his lawyer. He became even angrier, but before he could say anything, Kaji interrupted him.
"You're going to come to my house. "
Time seemed to stand still. Had Heisuke heard correctly? Kaji had thrown this out as if it were a natural act. The words were stuck in the back of his throat. Before he could reply, Kaji said.
"I have to keep an eye on you, but I warn you, at the slightest broken glass, you get the hell out, and I'll give up your business, understand? "
This was of course an empty threat. Kaji obviously wanted to keep an eye on his client, but he also wanted, like Kyoko, to put him back on the right track. He certainly wasn't going to defend him, win and let him go as if nothing had happened! There was a conflict in him. He knew he had to be professional, but it was difficult for a first case. How did the others do it?

What could make Kaji a villain and how would Dabi react ?
I made a whole story about this like one or two days ago FSKHFDSKJ
Canon Dabi... I think he’d laugh and make him join him.
Fanon Dabi/AU Dabi? Wouldn’t like it. The last thing he wanted was to his kid to become like this. 
BUT! I thought that making Kaji a villain would’ve required a lot of information, so instead I thought... Superman. Have you read the comics, or seen Supergirl when she’s under the effect of the red kryptonite? Well, it makes them turn into villians. So what would happen if Kaji gets hit with a quirk that kind?
I’ll just describe his personality and changes on the appereance cause I feel there’s a looooot more to say FHDJKS. He’d have the same personality as Dabi, same attitude but a bit more serious. Same coat, but the rest is all black. I think that the fact his dad is a villain would have such an impact, so if Dabi was dead or something, he’d try to immitate him, and part of his villain suit would be black paint resembling Dabi’s face scars. Also, Kaji is strong. Strong as fuck. He got every bit of the Todoroki’s. He can control fire, ice, water, smoke, and steam. Unlike shoto he can decide which side of his body, and unlike the rest of them he can control those elements at a long distance, for example, he could turn off a fire, turn ice into water, turn it into steam and back to ice. So his quirk is destructive. So he’s very dangerous. 
Now, if that was permanent? As I said above, I think Dabi could go two ways. Hating that and wanting his child to stop, or join him in mayhem and be proud of how desctructive his child is. 
THERE’S A LOT TO ELABORATE HERE FHDSKJF
