Tatsumaki floated above the ground, crossing her arms with narrowed eyes. "I hate this." She mumbled. "I hate this SO much."

She had been hired to attend some stupid kid's birthday party, because he was a fan of her or something, and it bugged her because now she had to take time out of her busy schedule to entertain a group of loudmouthed brats. She hated loudmouthed brats...

And, no, she did NOT enjoy answering their questions! ...She most certainly was NOT smiling whenever they came near! Okay, she was, but not because she enjoyed it. Because she had to put up a nice facade. So there!

However, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a kid clearing his throat. She turned with a smile, and what was the first thing that ran through her mind?

'Wow...That kid needs to go on a diet...'

The kid was round…no really he looked like a ball that you could bounce if you pushed him down. He had on an excited and at the same time nervous expression on his big face.

She smirked slightly at the kids expressing. 'I know I'm awesome kid.' She thought. "You need something?" she asked as nicely as she could.

The boy nodded seeming to get out of his shell shock. "I um…can you help me with something?" he asked her his expression nervous.

She raised her brow at the round child. "With what kid?"

He looked around to make sure no one was looking before staring at her with surprising resolve. "I need your help to save my cousin."

Tatsumaki blinked and looked at him. "...I'm sorry, what? Your cousin?" She looked around. "Everyone here looks pretty well off... Which one is your cousin?"

The boy shakes his head. "He's not here. My dad threw him in the cupboard under the stairs just before we left."

Tatsumaki raised her brow and put her hands on her hips. 'Cupboard under the stairs?' She thought. 'Who puts a kid in a cupboard under the stairs? Unless...' "Hmmm..." She mumbled. "...Okay...I'll do it."

The child sighs in relief. "Thank you, he was really hurt and I'm worried about him." He gives her the address of his house before rushing back into the crowd of kids.

Tatsumaki watched him go with a tilted head. 'Kinda thought he'd be a brat, but he's a decent kid.'

She looks down at the address nods her head before hovered over to the parent, "Um…I need to go real quick…you know hero stuff."

The parents looked disappointed but nodded understanding, "The kids are starting to wind down anyway, thank you for coming."

"Eh, it was nothing…much." She mumbled the last part as she looked over at the kids and gave them a small smile. "See ya!" she waved before hovering out of the house.

She looked down at the address, "Number Four Privet Drive huh?" She looked down the road and her eyes narrowed. "Let's go save a cousin!" she flew down the road at high speed causing some people to go flying wondering exactly what hit them.

She arrived at the destination and raised a brow with a bored frown at the house. 'Well this looks boring. Every dang house looks the same' she hovered over to the window and decided to look in. 'This better be worth it' she thought.

She stiffened when she heard a car pull into the driveway. She hovered high above the ground, well out of sight, and looked down with crossed arms. The chubby boy's father stepped out of the vehicle, looking miffed.

Vernon Dursley was frustrated. He had forgotten that he had left the birthday present Dudley bought for his friend inside the cupboard under the stairs. So he had to drive all the way back to get it before the boy opened presents.

Tatsumaki watched the man enter the house with a raised brow. She floated down to the window and peeked inside, careful not to be seen.

The man was making his way to the cupboard under the stairs, and the green-haired superhero watched with narrowed eyes, waiting to see what happened...

The man threw the cupboard open, and she could hear him yelling from outside.

"WHERE IS THE PRESENT BOY!" he shouted into the cupboard and Tatsumaki watched as a tiny boy with messy black hair and and oversized shirt stepped out with a box wrapped in birthday seemed paper.

Her eyes narrowed dangerously. 'That must be him.' She watched him shakily approach the big man. Only for him to have the man strike him down to the ground with the back of his hand. "Thought you could keep it huh freak!? Well I think you need to learn your LESSON!" his voice echoed as he raised his fist in the air ready to strike the child again.

The superhero's eyes grew wide at that then narrowed dangerously. "He. Is. DEAD!'

Harry covered his head weakly and closed his eyes, bracing for the pain he knew was coming and wishing that it would be quick. Vernon reeled his fist back 'This will show him!' he thought he threw the fist,

BOOOM!

And was sent flying back due to the wall next to them exploding. Harry jumped at the loud noise and looked up in terror before his emerald orbs grew wide in surprise.

Hovering where the side of the house once stood was a small woman who had curly green hair who was wearing a black dressed that almost seemed to move and ripple, her arms were crossed and her own emerald eyes where narrowed into an angry glare.

The wired thing for the young child though besides the fact that she was FLYING, was that her glare was not directed at him, but at his slowly recovering uncle.

"Knock knock." She said through gritted teeth. Vernon's eyes widened when he saw the familiar figure. He knew...He was doomed.

The remains of the wall slammed into him and embeded him in the wall. Various objects began to float before pointing at him. She levitated the injured Harry to her before growling at the fat man. "So you like to hurt little kids, huh, tubby? I think you need to be punished!"

She was about to slam the objects into the man. But a small whimper grabbed her attention. "No...Don't hurt my uncle...Please..."

She turned her attention to the source of the voice and got her first good look at the little boy. She was stunned to see what was quite possibly the cutest child she had ever seen. He was like a tiny human teddy bear with the greenest eyes she had ever seen.

Her eyes widened and her face turned beet red as she realized she was being overwhelmed by cuteness. She found herself losing control of everything she was holding. Thankfully, she managed to catch Harry before he hit the ground.

Harry flinched when he felt her arms around him, but he relaxed when she had yet to do anything to him besides hold him. He looked up at her own emerald eyes and felt a feeling of nostalgia. He had seen those kind of eyes before, their color sparked a feeling in the young boy…a feeling of safety.

Tatsumaki gazed down at the cute child. He was thin and light; like he had not had a decent meal in a long time. She held him like a baby and just stared down at him with wide eyes. 'Who is this kid?' she asked herself. "Why?" she asked him.

Harry frowned sadly "Because he is normal…I get hit…only freaks get hit…like me…" he said lowly.

Tatsumaki gritted her teeth in rage. "So that's the bullcrap he's been filling your head with, is it?" She said lowly. "Well guess what? There's NOTHING wrong with you."

"But-"

"None of that. You're gonna put yourself down again, and I won't have it." She said sternly. He flinched, and she frowned before sighing. "Okay, okay, sorry about that... Listen, I won't hurt him if you don't want me to. But I also won't let him get away with what he's been doing to you."

"But-"

"Now what did I tell you?"

Harry lowered his gaze sadly and the woman let out a sigh. "Look, what he did was bad. Bad people need to be punished. He deserves worse…but, if you don't want me to then I won't hurt him." She explained.

Harry nodded his head lightly. "So does that mean…I'm bad?" he asked sadly.

The girl sighed sadly and shook her head. "No kid, you're not bad. That guy over there who hurt people? Bad. You who had to go through that, and still…well…look *cough* cute *cough* Is nowhere near a bad person."

Harry's eyes began to water as he gazed up at her. She did not think he was a bad person. She thought he was good! "Uh, kid?" the boy let out a soft sob as he buried his face in the heroine's arms.

Tatsumaki's eyes widened in surprise as he did this. 'Oh no! Oh no, I wasn't prepared for this!' She thought in a panic. 'What do I do?! What do I-"

When she looked down at the boy, however, the answer just sort of...came to her. Something awakened inside her that she didn't even know she had in her...

She tightened her hold on him, her face softening to an uncharacteristic amount of care in her features.

She began to rock the child back and forth, and she began to speak to him.

"Shh, It's okay, It's okay. Let it out." She spoke so softly and gently that it shocked her.

The boy cried into her arms sobbing but relaxed slightly when he heard her soothing voice and felt the rocking.

The boys sobbing slowed down eventually. The heroine smiled and looked down, "Feel better kid?" she asked him warmly.

He stared up at her pure adoration in his eyes causing the woman to blush mad and her smile to grow as he nodded his head slightly.

"That's good."

"Ahem!" the rude voice of the hanging man caused the two to turn to the now annoyed big man. "If you don't mind! LET ME DOWN!" he shouted.

Tatsumkai's eyes narrowed into a glare and a dark smirk rose on her face that caused the man to shiver in fear. "Why should I?" she asked coldly.

"Wh…"

"I won't kill you…your victim saved you from that fate. But I will be handing you over to those useless authorities. I'm sure they will have some fun with you."

"YOU CAN'T-"

"I am!" she shouted then looked down at the child and shooed in his ear to calm him down. "Calm down, I'm mad at him not you."

"Gag me-"

"Don't tempt me." She spoke back before looking around the house till she saw the same cupboard. Her eyes narrowed suspiciously.

"You hang there and look ugly. I have some evidence to find." She hovered over to the open door and took a look inside.

She nearly barfed from the scent. It was a mess of blood and fluids in there! It was disgusting...

"My teddy!" Harry's voice sounded out. She blinked, and looked down at him, reaching out for something with both hands. Looking into the cupboard, she saw a teddy bear sitting pretty in the corner.

Smiling, she used her powers to levitate the bear out of the cupboard and placed it in Harry's arms. He took it and hugged it tightly.

"Teddy, look! The nice lady saved us!" He said to the small bear.

Tatsumkai felt her cheeks warm at that yet she had a small smirk. "Dam-I mean, Dang right kid." She caught herself. She looked back into the cupboard and her eyes narrowed darkly at the waste. Then gazed down at the smiling child who was holding his teddy. 'He doesn't deserve your sympathy kid.' She thought sadly.

She used her powers to lift up the phone and have it sent to her. She smiled down to the child as he watched with amazed eyes as the phone dialed 911 itself and lifted off the handle to sit nestled next to her head.

"911 what's your emergency?"

"This is Tornado of Terror, I need a pick up at number four Private Drive, a fat man-"

"WHO ARE YOU!" A loud screech interrupted the heroine causing the child to stiffen the shake. The heroine turned her head to gaze at a human horse. "YOU LITTLE BRAT! LET MY HUSBAND DOWN AND DROP THE FREAK!" Who was then sent harshly into the wall much like her husband.

"-and ugly woman have been caught abusing a child. How fast can you get here?" she asked while she ran a hand through the boys hair to try and get him to relax.

"They'll be there right away, ma'am." The woman on the other end replied.

"Great! If at all possible, put them away with someone that'll make their stay hell? Like, that Bubba guy one of the C-Class heroes brought in?"

"Understood." And the phone was hung up. Tatsumaki smirked.

"I can't wait to see the news tonight." She said smugly, looking at Vernon.

"What's going on...?" Harry asked.

"Your aunt and uncle here are going to go on a little trip. It's not fun, but it's something they have no choice but to do."

Harry tilted his head in confusion, an act that made the heroine warm inside. 'Why is this kid so cute!?' she screamed internally. She bounced the little boy slightly causing him to giggle and making the heroine's smile to soften.

A few minutes later a knock on the now wide open wall alerted the pair. They turned to see stunned policemen standing by the gaping hole that Tatsumaki had made her entrance. "Took you all long enough." She mumbled to herself with a scowl.

It melted off however as the boy started to tremble lightly, "Shh. It's okay, they are here for the walrus and horse people" She cooed in his ear calming him down slightly were he nodded.

It was then Dudley ran into the house with wide eyes. "Wow…your good." He said with shock.

The heroine smirked down at him before looking at Harry. "I know. Kid you have another person who likes you it seems." She said with warmth.

Harry blinked and looked down at the nervous faced Dudley. "You…? But…why?"

"Because it was wrong Harry." He said sadly. "You are cool. I mean you have cool powers, can do some amazing things…and I liked…Aunt Lilly and Uncle James." he mumbled the last part silently to himself confusing the two yet for Harry those names sounded familiar.

"Harry?" Tatsumaki asked the little boy who looked up with a slow nod. She smirked down at him lightly as she ran her hand through his hair. "Cute name kid. Names Tatsumaki."

"Tut…Tuso…Tutsame."

The heroine giggled lightly before freezing up her eyes going wide. 'I JUST GIGGLED!?' She shook that off and gave a sigh before smiling down at the child. "Ms. Tat-su-ma-ki" she said slowly to the small child.

"Tat-su-ma-ki" He repeated slowly. "Ms. Tatsumaki!" he cheered with a grin.

"There ya go! You did it!" Tatsumaki said with a smile as the police questioned Dudley.

"Dudley, how could you?!" Vernon exclaimed, betrayed.

"Because I thought I could be a hero for just a second by telling someone you were doing bad things." Dudley replied. "And...I think I did do the right thing."

"That you did." Tatsumaki replied. "Good job, kid. You've got what it takes to be a real hero." Dudley smiled widely.

"Maybe I will be a hero! I'm gonna train!"

Tatsumaki grinned at the boy, "You do that kid."

She looked over at the police. "I'm going to take this one down to get healed. You all got this?" she asked.

The police looked over at the big man and paled at his large girth. "Uh…sure…we got this…get him looked at."

The woman smirked lightly and nodded as she hovered out of the house and lifted high into the sky. "Hold on tight Harry." She warned softly. When she felt the boy grip her tightly she smirked and took off like a rocket through the sky.

Harry clutched to her tightly. Sure, she was going at an incredibly fast pace...But she had a firm, gentle hold on him, so he felt safe in her grasp. Smiling, he snuggled up closer to her.

Tatsumaki herself smiled and looked down at him. 'Good lord he's adorable...Ugh...He's making me go soft...' Smiling, she focused ahead, on her destination.
