Comment Review Time!:
Traitor of my lies from Quotev: A few more pairings might show up! I haven't decided yet!
Blazing RedSkys from Quotev: ok honestly thank you for telling me about my writing issues. I have no beta reader so some things do slip past my writing/editing process, plus I'm writing the majority of this at 1AM when my insomnia isn't letting me sleep so I am sometimes tired when i write. I'll definitely work on fixing that! And as for shipping; it's not the main focus of this story, just something that might be mentioned here and there.
And honestly, I'm so happy to see I'm making O'Malley out to be a douchey character that everyone hates.
And actually; Frostbite has had baths when Inko would come over but it was never really mentioned. I realize now I forgot to add little details like that and will be sure to do so in the future! But yes! Momo will mention baths and such!
And yay Frostbite's making progress!
Deku and Shoto (and maybe other pros ;) ) will be teaching her how to use her quirk offensively and defensively!
fencer29 from FanFiction: O'Malley attacking definitely played a part and Frostbite is starting to realize that Deku actually wants to help and maybe not all people are bad! Also; Frostbite does batter around females and since Momo did make her hot cocoa, that makes her okay in her book. Cause no matter what she's been through, she's still a kid and kids like food.
And I honestly cannot wait to write Todoroki interacting with Frostbite!
Chopper911 from FanFiction: Aagh! Thanks so much! I'm glad you like reading it!
bladetri from FanFiction: Thank! XD
…..
Frostbite fidgeted with the muted blue sweater she had worn for the day. Luckily this didn't have any words on it so she didn't have to worry about trying to read it; not that she could. She sat with Deku in the police station as he talked with the policemen about tracking down O'Malley. The sticker from the detective had been removed from her pajamas and stuck onto the sweater. He sat with his hand on the back of her chair as they spoke.
"Frostbite?" The detective man from last night asked and she looked up, nodding as she did so.
"Do you know of your parents? Could they help in this investigation in any way?" He inquired and she shook her head,
"Don't got any." She said quietly and the detective frowned,
"Everyone has parents… who raised you?"
"O'Malley."
"You mean O'Malley found you on the street?"
"O'Malley said they didn't want me no more so they threw me away." Deku's hand tightened and he frowned heavily, brows creasing. The detective man frowned at the notes Creati had written last night and added to them.
"Alright Frostbite, I think this is some good information for now. Will you go wait with Creati and Shoto? They're right outside, I just need to talk to Deku alone for a minute." Frostbite didn't move and looked up at Deku with wide eyes. He gave her a smile and nodded,
"They got here just now. I'll be right out okay? I promise you'll be safe." Frostbite was hesitant but slowly got off her chair and left the room.
Shōto was in the waiting room when she arrived, sporting a button up and slacks. He pocketed his phone when he spotted her and leaned onto his knees. She realized something, Creati wasn't here.
"Creati?" She asked hesitantly and Shoto nodded towards the door,
"She got called for some hero work at her agency. She sent me to come get you in case Midoriya has to stay behind." He said and reached out a hand to help her onto a chair, Frostbite withdrew as he did so and climbed onto a chair herself, one chair in between the two of them.
The silence between them was awkward as Shoto sat, unsure of what to do and Frostbite picked at a frayed edge of her sweater sleeve. As she glanced down, she spotted her sticker and got an idea. Grown ups know how to read right? Could Shoto read the writing on the sticker? Reaching over, she tugged on Shoto's shirt sleeve. Their heterochromatic eyes met and she pointed to her sticker,
"Yes it's a nice sticker Frostbite." he said and she frowned,
"No, read." She said and now he frowned.
"Pardon?" She tugged harder on his sleeve and she pointed with more emphasis to her sticker.
"Read!" Shoto was starting to frustrate her as he couldn't seem to understand the she wanted him to read her sticker!
Finally she turned and knelt on the chair and pushed her finger against his nose and then to her sticker,
"READ!" He finally seemed to understand and his eyes brightened,
"Do you not know how to read?" He inquired and she nodded, relief that he finally understood making her sigh.
"The sticker says Junior Detective. It's a kids sticker policemen commonly given to children." He explained and she nodded, now content that she knew what it meant.
It was silent for a moment before she grew bored and poked his side again, when he looked over she pointed to the magazines on the table next to him.
"Read more?"
Deku came out about ten minutes later and smiled at Frostbite. Shoto had been reading her a magazine, it was boring but she liked looking at the colorful pages and looking at the different words.
"Did you find a new friend?" Frostbite's head shot up and she scampered over to stand in front of Deku. She pointed proudly to her sticker,
"Junior Detective!" She said, happy that she knew what her sticker meant. Deku laughed and knelt down, ruffling her hair with a grin.
"That's right! It says Junior Detective! Good job! Are you ready to head back now?" She gave a happy nod and felt safe enough to hold his hand as they walked the few blocks back to Shoto and Creati's place.
…...
Frostbite struggled as Deku carried her into the bathroom. Normally Inko would give her a bath but now that Inko wasn't there, Creati offered to help and Frostbite didn't want that. Deku set her down outside the bathroom door and knelt down, hands on her shoulders.
"Frostbite you need to calm down, Yaoyorozu is just cleaning you up since you're still rather dirty from the scuffle last night. I know it's not my mom, but I promise she won't hurt you." He explained and Frostbite pulled at the sleeves of her sweater as she took in his words. Eventually she nodded and Deku's face lit up in a smile.
"Alright, she's waiting for you inside."
Creati was nice whilst helping Frostbite bathe herself. She let her pick out a shampoo to use; according to Creati, Frostbite chose her favorite peach scented soap. She was gentle, never pushing Frostbite and helping her wipe soap from her eyes. She helped her dress afterwards and carefully dried Frostbite's hair with a towel. The older woman smiled and she stuck the sticker back on Frostbite's sweater.
Deku was conversing with Shoto as Frostbite and Creati came out of the bathroom and into the living room. Deku smiled at Frostbite as she climbed back onto the couch next to the hero.
"How was the bath Frostbite?" He asked and she shrugged, getting comfortable on the couch.
"We were talking about you, you know," Shoto said and she looked up to him with a frown.
"He means we were talking about your quirk. I figured you don't have much control over it so we were talking about getting you some training." Deku explained and Frostbite's eyes widened, tightening her grip on her sweater hem. That didn't sound like it was a good idea. O'Malley told her that her quirk wasn't to be used unless he instructed and she used it on him last night. Was he going to find her again? He had to be. He was going to find her, he was going to take her away wasn't he?
Deku laid a gentle hand on her shoulder and she looked up with a silent gasp.
"It'll be alright, Shoto offered to help train you with your quirk since he also has a fire quirk and I'll be there the whole time to make sure nothing bad happens. You'll be safe." He soothed and looking into his eyes, she saw his promise that he wouldn't let anything happen to her. Slowly, she nodded and felt happy to see Deku's face brighten into a grin.
….
Frostbite held Deku's hand tightly as they walked through the massive building Shoto called his agency. According to Deku, Shoto had taken over his father's agency when he had retired. Not that Frostbite knew who Shoto's father was and she didn't care. She didn't like this place, it was too big, too open.
Creati was busy at her own agency training interns so she would be unavailable for this training session. Shoto opened the door to the training room and it scared her. It was so much bigger than she thought, the ceiling reaching high above them and the sheer size of the room. Shoto approached the middle of the room and pivoted on his foot.
"This is the agency's training room. Normally other heroes under my agency would be here but I instructed us to be left alone until a better handle on your quirk can be achieved." Shoto explained and Frostbite nodded hesitantly. What was he going to have her do?
Deku took a step behind her and let go of her hand.
"We want to see what you can do as of now, so I want you to attack Todoroki-kun alright? He's a Pro Hero so you won't hurt him." He said and added the last part when he saw her panicked face.
Her breath quickened and she started to hyperventilate, were they doing the same thing as O'Malley? Was Deku going to make her kill Shoto? Had he lied when he told her nothing bad was going to happen? Deku reached out a hand and she scrambled away from him, still hyperventilating.
"Frostbite-" Both Deku and Shoto started towards her, looks of varying degrees of worry on their faces. She felt dizzy, why was she dizzy, as she scrambled away from the two men. All she could see was O'Malley, stalking towards her with that look of rage on his face.
"NO!" She screamed and the back of her throat clicked, unintentionally lighting the gas that she started exhaling when Deku first told her to attack Shoto. Fire spewed from her mouth and sent the room up in flames.
