A NEW CHAPTER IS HERE!
To say the boys were happy that their mother and Her new boyfriend, Toshinori Yagi, were dating would be putting it lightly. They were super happy.
Happy that their Mom now has somebody who loved her, cared about her, cherish her, be there for her and respected her, that she has a boyfriend and that he would one day be their father for reals.
When they were told about their new relationship the very next morning they were stunned but otherwise they were all happy as they all cheered and hugged them.
The boys had always seen Mr. Yagi as a father figure to them, had even wanted to tell him such but didn't know how to, but to know that he may One day become their actual father just made them even more happier.
Even if he was busy from time to time he made sure to spend as much time as he possibly could with his new girlfriend and the boys who he saw as his own sons.
Talk with them, do the chores with them, have some fun times with one another and talk about how their day went, Toshinori found himself sleeping over at their house every once in awhile but nobody saw any problem with it as none of the mind it at all. He did what he could to help any of them at any of them have fallen ill or needed some extra help on particular things.
Of course he hadn't actually told anybody about his new relationship, well... all except several people in particular, Nezu (who had deduced almost immediately, the rodent hero was relieved to know that the hero now had someone he could spend his life with), Naomasa (he has a lie detector quirk so of course he knows, knowing this after questioning and counters from him the hero eventually caved and told him, to which he earned a slap on the shoulder as his officer friend told him "Its about time you you got yourself a girlfriend!"), Then of course it was Recovery Girl as Nezu had told her, was the only one he had told as Toshinori wanted to tell the others on his own time, When Chiyo confronted him... to give you the straight forward answer, he got whacked on the head by her syringe shape cane and got scolded for not having told her sooner about having met the midoriya family, but after the rant she had been proud that he had somebody he wanted to be with, and to take care of him as she told him, and I quote, "I'm getting sick of Nursing your ungrateful reckless behind." To which this left Toshinori chuckling nervously. After that, she made him promise her that if any of the Midoriya's were very sick or badly hurt that he would take them to see her immediately, no butts about it, that made him glad and relieved honestly.)
He promised all of them that at some point he would introduce them to the rest of his colleagues, but only when he was absolutely sure that the relationship was completely stable, don't get him wrong he trusts Inko and her boys, but he just wanted to make sure that everything was going to turn out all right in regards to how his schedule usually is.
He had also promised them that he would introduce them to the family when the time was right.
And when the subject of Gran Torino and Sir Nighteye was brought up by the principle himself, that made the number one hero pail so much that his skin looked like snow, He forgot about them, Even though he knew he had to tell them both eventually he wanted to wait... partial bit was because he was scared of how they would react.
As for Katsuki, during a family dinner at The Bakugo residence, He finally apologize (and I mean this genuinely) to all of them for how he acted and for being so mean to all of them. That he was going to do his very best to be nicer from now on, Thanks to All Might coming to their school that day he had been working hard to be somebody that wouldn't disappoint All Might or even get him in deep trouble, to be a real hero. They boys accepted his apology, Though the older brothers made it clear that they had their eyes on him to which he nodded without a word. After dinner the boys started to play with each other until they settled down to watch a movie together as a surprise. Things had been mended between Katsuki and The Midoriya boys and it was great that his personality had been adjusted, he was still rough around the edges and his temper was still kind of bad but otherwise his demeanor definitely had changed and was a lot more manageable. The adults were very grateful about this.
After that night, the boys started to spend time with each other again, Katsuki even became part of their gang as he was no longer friends with his posy, Izuku started to call him By his nickname again, And Katsuki no longer called him Deku, But instead called him Izu, which made him happy.
Overall, Things we're going very smoothly.
But that didn't change the fact that there'd be some difficulties to deal with by the time the boys entered elementary School.
The first couple of days since the school year started was rough.
While the boys were grateful that Kodai and Kaminari were going to the same school as them, they were a bit sad that Kefu was going to a different elementary school, but it was only because his mom had gotten a job opportunity and needed to move (But they had promised each other that they would write each other letters and call each other when they had the chance). And not all the students from their preschool went to the same elementary School of them as only a couple of them were there.
It hurt them that Momo could not attend the same school as them as she was enrolled in a private school by her parents, though she did the very best she could to stay in contact with them as she had missed them all a lot, she did get a chance to meet with Kaminari since the others met him and the boy saw her as an older sister figure, one bit because of her maturity and the other being because of how tall she for a child her age and was taller then him by an inch and a half.
As for the new classmates, they were anything but nice once they found out the status of the boys, and even their friends too.
Izuku had it the worse as he would be mocked, ridiculed and teased about being quirkless, they had even outright called him an idiot and a worthless wannabe in their class to which they got scolded by your teacher for being disruptive in class, but never took the time to get them to stop it all together as she would only scold them after the act was done, she didn't even consult with the principal about it. Izuku had to use every ounce of strength he had in him to not cry in front of the class or even showed his hurt expression to any of them as he told them that he did not care about what they think and that they should stop for they would get in trouble, to which he was laughed at by his fellow classmates. It was only during passing period And even lunch time when he would sneak off into the boys bathroom and lock himself in a stall so he can cry in private when he was sure that nobody else was around.
Tenko was given a wide berth by everyone once they knew what his does quirk can do, no one wanted to go near him in fear of getting turn to dust, most of them only stared at him as if he were a strange creature, some would talk behind his back and call him mean things. All of it made him mad, though he did his best to hide it, the only way you would know if he was very mad or irritated was when he occasionally scratched his throat kind of roughly. He had told them to stop acting like spoiled brats and leave him alone, which only earned him more scorn from his classmate's.
Kurogiri, to his disappointment, was only liked because of his Quirk and people would say how his quirk was perfect for letting him get away with things, some of them even wanted him to abandon his brothers and spend time with them, to which he put his foot down telling them that he's not going to abandon his brothers and that he would never use his Quirk for irresponsible things. There were also some people who are actually kind of scared of him because his Quirk looked very spooky. He got laughed at because of his "Ridiculous" resolve. Often he politely asked them all to stop their ridiculous antics but they didn't.
Kaminari was called stupid and a shocked idiot When his classmates found out what his quirks drawback was, told him that his Quirk pretty lame. He tried to just remind himself of the old saying "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me." and just laugh it off, but on the inside he felt hurt. No one wanting to be friends with somebody who is a literal living ball of electricity and stupidity, even though that wasn't true as thanks to the boys he did pretty well academically.
Kodai was being avoided by everybody else, while she was outgoing and friendly with the people she was familiar with, everybody else she was not familiar with made her shy tendencies arose, people even talked behind her back because of how quiet she was and called her a "Shrinking Mouse" because of her quirk and the fact that she would get silent as a mouse when bullies would confront her and made her feel so small. She would politely excused herself and speed walk away from them to hide until they were gone before going her next class. When she did speak they would say that her voice sounded completely stupid, which led her to asking a teacher to tell everyone to stop picking on her, only to get yelled at by her classmates after that without much more help from the teachers.
As for Katsuki, a lot of people complimented him about how awesome his quirk was, But he was very ill tolerant about how they were all treating his friends and yelled at them to back off and leave them alone, but they often ignored him saying that they were a bunch of nobodies and that he should be hanging around them more, And that made him very angry and he threaten them to stop it or he would blow them up, nobody was going to talk bad about his friends and even those he finally reconnected with and gets away with it. He often got scolded by teacher for his violent behavior causing him to tell the teacher that they were ones that started it not him and that they were being mean to his friends, but his claim was dismissed which made him growl angrily, the teacher even told him that he would get in trouble if he didn't stop with his behavior.
That wasn't even the worst part, the worst part was that even though they all wanted to tell the principal about what was going on each of their teachers had outright told them not to, threatening to put them all in detention or even put black marks on their records that would prevent any of them from going to any good schools let alone any hero schools in the future.
This was unjust and unexcusable.
They all knew that. To their dismay though there was nothing they could do no matter how they felt. They were trapped.
They tried to endure it not wanting to worry their parents. Not to mention the fact that, No matter how much they wanted to, if any of them had told their parents then they would all be punished unfairly and that the staff didn't want their school to be found out to have a bad reputation.
To everyone else all the teachers were polite and pleasant, and they treated the other students like normal, but they were all very dismissive and not helping the gang with their predicament, half of it being that the students would always be nice to the teachers and pin the gang as targets, the other half being that they all had given up on trying to stop all students and even those before them from their bullying actions as they seem to ignore them.
The only time they were all together was during passing period And during lunch time and recess, otherwise they were all in separate classes, much to their dismay.
Their parents and guardians knew that something was going on as they could see their frowns and sense they're unease, frustration and depression but couldn't get an answer from their kids, when they asked the school they said all was well and just some kids being a bit rambunctious, but they knew that that wasn't it, their kids would not be acting strangely nor hide things from them for no reason.
Whatever was happening, they didn't like it not one bit. Especially not Toshinori. He could always tell that something wasn't right, when something wasn't right nor sitting well at all, years of being a pro hero backed him up there.
To him it looked like the kids wanted to tell them but they could not, the question was why that was? Were they being mistreated again? Did they get in trouble (that would only be if the kids were defending themselves and others from bullies)? Were they being threatened? Blackmailed?
He needed to know. And Know it he did one day when he was on his way to pick up the kids from school (the parents and guardians got to know each other over time and had no problems picking them all up and taking them home when none of them were busy on an occasion) as he always came 20 minutes early which gave him time to check on updates and the news while he was waiting, but when he came up the school this time he ran into the janitor, who looked fairly young like around his early 20's, who looked very worried and desperate for help as his shacking frame made it obviously to him.
When, as he took action, he asked him if anything was alright, that was when the dam inside him burst as he dragged the hero to the side, recognizing him as the Midoriya boys guardian as far as he could tell, and told him everything with a begging look in his eyes.
Apparently the janitor, Jin Takuse, had grown fond of Izuku, his brothers and his friends when they helped him pick up his supplies after he dropped them on his first day and chat with him a while before the first day of school bell rang starting first period (He had several things in common with each kid, He muttered a lot like Izuku, liked to nit like Tenko, He like to organize like Kurogiri, He liked miniature things like Kodai, He Loved extra spicy food like Bakugo and he liked to dance like Denki). Even saw them at lunch when he cleaned there, occasionally talking to them when all of them had the chance making him feel welcomed.
But since the start of the school year he knew from the start that they were all being bullied. Which broke his heart.
It started when he was sweeping by some of the classrooms when he overhead the students calling them bad names and teasing them like they were jokers. Which made him concerned.
Then while passing by the hallways he could hear several groups of students calling the gang mean things, Calling Izuku a quirkless monkey, Tenko as frail creeper, Kurogiri a fool for hanging with "losers", Bakugo a hot tempered criminal because of his threats towards them for their mean actions towards him and his friends, Kodai a puny shrimp because she was the shortest of the gang next to Izuku and because of her quirk, and Denki a babbling idiot for his quirk's drawback. This upset him as he gently told the students to not be so harsh towards them, only to get laughed at for trying calling him a wimpy janitor that should stick to cleaning before the bell rang for the next class.
If that wasn't bad enough, he told him that some of the upperclassmen were pushing Izuku and Kodai around against the walls laughing at them, which made him angry as that time he intervened telling them to back off before taking the two to the nurse's office to get them checked out incase they had injuries, thankfully only light bruising, he wanted to go tell the principal only to get told off by the nurse for "being a tattletale for telling on some students just playing rough". He looked at the nurse with a deadpan and disbelief expression as if she were joking only to get sassed at by her.
Then there were times during recess were they would get picked on and no one would stop them except him only to get named called and nagged at.
And apparently the gang were not the only ones getting bullied, there was one other student who was also being bullied just as badly, She was the new student that the gang had told him, Inko and the others about, the new friend they met just recently, Himeko Toga who had a blood related quirk, She was cute and nice but she was shy and nervous because she was getting bullied too. He had met her during passing period one day when she was limping to the nurses office after being "accidentally" pushed down the stairs by another student, he escorted her there revealing that her ankle was bruised but she would be fine as she would just need to walk it off but at a slow pace so to not fall down and make it worse. He had been trying to defend her too since then, and told the gang about her so they could stick together, a gang of misfits, she was happy to find others like her and fit in with the gang right away, gaining new friends who would not turn her away.
But that's not all, Jin believed that she was being abused at home just as much as she was at school but worse. Why he thought so? 1: she always wore long sleeve shirts and long pants and acted nervous as if she were hiding something when she had been asked why she never wore short sleeve shirts nor short pants and skirts.. 2: She always looked so pale, like she had not eaten much, or even had slept well due to some of the bags under her eyes, when asked she said that she was didn't get much sleep because a tummy issues, but if that was the case then she would have been yawning like no tomorrow. And If she did yawn then it would only be in private so no one would notice. And her stomach would not be growling as if starving from time to time if it were just a tummy issue. 3: she always preferred to walk home alone like she were scared that something would happen. And 4: She never liked to talk about her family life. Not feeling to comfortable about it, always vague on details other then the fact that she was an only child, she was lonely and she parents were always busy.
That last bit left him suspicious, when she said "busy" she seemed nervous. Making him wonder how "busy" her folks really were.
And thankfully he was not the only one who noticed that there was something suspicious about her family life as the gang felt the same way, but with no evidence there is no way to prove that she was being abused at home. Not to mention that they didn't want to scare her with their suspicions so they kept quiet for now.
He couldn't understand why everybody here was being so incredibly unfair and harsh towards these kids, they were all very good and nice, they couldn't hurt a fly (except maybe Bakugo but only if that fly were trying to attack him and he were trying to defend himself and his friends), they had not done anything wrong.
The other thing that really bothered him more was the fact that the teachers were not really doing anything to stop the bullying, not taking the "No bullying at school" rule seriously, and even if they did Scold the other kids for doing that they acted like they weren't being so serious, he had asked them why that was only to get told to either mind his own business, that they were just kids and they need to learn how to be tough on their own or that he was reading too much into it, but he didn't believe that at all.
He never did.
That was the last straw, he had to do something and that was when he came up with the idea to gather evidence. So he use his phone to record students conversations and even videos of the kids bullying them before coming into stop their attackers.
Which pained him to no end to do that, as much as he wanted to stop it right away when it happened like he usually did, he needed solid evidence to prove his claim. But he would stop the conflict as soon as he could once he got enough.
Once he thought he had gathered more then enough evidence he went to the principal's office, believing that he had been left in the dark the whole time which explains the lack of intervention, and was going to show him the proof and demand that something should be done about this, only for gang to beat him to the punch as he saw them all going in there without seeing him.
He thought to join them, but then he felt like something bad was going to happen, he didn't know why but he felt like he should listen in and see for himself as he got out his phone again, making sure that the door was only a tiny crack open so to not get spotted but also to record the voices more clearly.
Oh how right he was to do that. Because what he heard made him horrified and angry.
He had always known that the principal could be harsh, but he didn't think he would ever be this cruel nor threaten a student in the fashion he had displayed, or any for that matter, in this manner.
Threatening the students with expulsion, putting black marks on the records preventing them from going to good schools in the future, to put them in a mental hospital for their "ill minded behavior", Even telling their parents about them displaying unacceptable behaviors if any of them try to defile him.
He knew that he had to go to the police, but then remembered the principals threat to the kids, he feared that he would not only be threatened too or be put in jail by something he didn't do. He could not afford that, especially because 1: this would leave the kids completely without an adult in school to help and 2: he was a married man and he and his wife were expecting a baby boy in two months, they were a bit strapped for cash and needed the money to pay bills and what they need for the pregnancy and when their son is born. They needed the money.
He felt horrible because he didn't want to cause harm to his family nor his little friends even though he wanted desperately to help both, but didn't know what to do. He too felt trapped.
Toshinori placed a hand on his shoulder and told him that he will take care of everything, thanking him for telling him, informing him that he was the boyfriend of Izuku, Tenko and Kurogiri's mother which surprised him. He told him to get into the car so they go to the police soon as he goes to pick up the kids and their friend.
As soon as he got to the entrance, he then heard a common going on in the recess yard, sounded like a fight was going on, the gut feeling acting up as he went to go investigate.
When he got that feeling he never ignored it as he had learned this the hard way years ago, being a pro hero you would have this feeling that something is wrong, not right or something bad is about to insue or was happening now.
What he saw only proved that as what he saw made his heart drop.
Izuku, his brothers and their friends were surrounded by a big group of 6 bullies, all of whom were the only ones who were in the school yard as everyone else was off elsewhere during their free period, as the gang was being attacked.
Izuku was trying to defend Kaminari as he, who were plain white shirt, blue jean shorts and sandals, was lying on the ground in a fetal position holding his stomach covered in bruises, only to get punched at and knocked down by two of the bullies who appeared to be identical twins as both had dark brown hair, pale skin and bright orange eyes, wearing sweaters and jean pants and sandals with the only difference between them being the color choice of clothing as one was wearing nothing but red and the other was wearing nothing but dark blue, being laughed at and being called a useless worthless idiot but that did not stop the green hair boy from getting back up and trying to defend his friend again, even if that resulted in him getting hit in a knock down once more as the cycle repeated.
Kurogiri was pinned down by the larger kid in the group who was the only one that was bald, whose skin was orange, eyes black as ink, was wearing light gray and dark gray sports clothes and shoes as the Warpgate user was held down by the attackers large hand gripping his metal covered neck digging his knee into his back as the big kid kept hitting him hard if he tried to use his quirk calling him a wimp for hanging out with losers.
And lastly there was Bakugo and Tenko who were both defending Kodai and Toga whose hair and skin color was exactly the same as Bakugo's, her eyes were as yellow as topaz And her hair was in two spiky buns and she wore a long sleeve sweater and sweat pants and black running shoes, we're both holding onto each other in tears as their clothes were in tatters and dirtied up with some bruises on them as the Explosion and Decay users fought against the last 3 members as the first kid had tan skin, mud brown hair and eyes and wore a a white and black spotted tracksuit and black shoes, the second one had dark brown skin, quill grey eyes, fire red hair, wore a red shirt, dark red shorts and black boots, and the third had light tan skin, Tar grey hair, teal eyes, had the ears and the tail of a chipmunk which were Brown with White markings, wore a white shirt, mud brown sweat pants and sandals, Tenko forced to use his fists with his pinkies point out due to his gloves being burnt and left to a side by what appeared to have been fire being the cause of it and the boy himself having some mild burns around his fingers while Bakugo had his back as he kept yelling at their enemies to go jump into a tar pit while using his explosion to defend himself as the first boy has glowing black fists the size of baseballs made of mud, the second boy had flaming yellow fists and the third was baring his big teeth and claws at the.
"Face it you losers, you're a bunch of nobodies pretending to be heroes!" said the chipmunk boy.
"Says the bucktoothed gerbil and his rat pack who has to have his gang to come and beat up a group for just being here!" Tenko retorted.
"Nice came back." Bakugo remarked with a smirk. Thankful that he had taught his friend well on how to retort.
"Thanks." He replied.
"No one talks about me and my boys like that and gets away with it you skinny wimp!" The chipmunk boy yells in anger as he charged at Tenko trying to bite him.
But here's the thing, the boy had no intention to badly hurt him, so he was surprised to trip causing him to go flying and end up biting Tenko's lower left arm so hard that it made him bleed.
The sound of Tenko screaming in pain as everyone, including Kaminari who had regained his senses, turn to him only to be met with horror.
It was the incident in the park at the lake all over again, only worst.
"TENKO!" His brothers and friends cried out.
The chipmunk boy released his jaw and backed away scared that he did that as Tenko held his arm (in an odd way) in pain as his arm bleed really bad as tears ran down his eye. Feeling the blood in his mouth, The chipmunk boy spit out whatever blood he had in his mouth, horrified by what he did.
"ENOUGH!!"
Shouted a male voice in stern anger as everyone turn to who said that.
Needless to say, nobody had ever seen Toshinori this upset and angry until now.
Time skip~
The gang, now all bandaged up, sat outside of the principles office, comforting one another as each of the respective parents, Jin, a police officer who had arrived only a couple minutes ago and the parents of each of the bullies and the bullies themselves were talking with the principle, well yelling at each other to be more precise as they could all hear a lot of yelling going on with some voice's trying to calm down each other, unable to make out what any of them were saying due to the thickness of the walls and the door.
They we're not the only ones there, as Yaoyorozu, who had been informed by the gang while they were in the nurse's office earlier having their wounds treated, came to the school as soon as she could along with her parents as they comfort them as well, horrified by what they have been told and what had been happening all this time.
Thankful the new substitute nurse that they had today was a lot nicer than the usual nurse that they saw and actually had experience in doing stitching due to her previous occupation in working at hospital for short while as Tenko was in need of it due to how deep the bite marks were, The nurse confirming herself that it was so bad that he needed them And thankfully the bite had not hit anything important neither the bones nor the important nerves as he would just need a healing session or two and he'll be fine even though he would definitely be left with scars for the rest of his life to add with the scars that he already had on him.
To say that nurse was absolutely upset about why this happened in the first place, why it was never stopped and the fact that no one had done anything to stop it would not be a strong enough word to describe her current mood, she too is speaking to the principal about this matter along with everyone else that was in the office.
Although quite strangely, The only ones absent from this important meeting were Toga's parents. But why? Running late? No one knew. Toga hadn't said anything, and was hesitant too, but seemed pretty relieved that her parents were not here. Why? It was anyone's guess.
The gang said nothing as they comforted the other, leaning against the other, Izuku, Kodai and Toga looked nervous and unsure as they were being comforted by Yaoyorozu and her mother, while Kurogiri, Tenko, Bakugo and even the fun loving Denki (thankful that both he and the warp gate user only got out of it with just bruising around the stomach, face and left fore arm (for Denki) and back and lower arms (for Kurogiri) were very serious knowing that this was a matter that (thankfully at last) wasn't going to be ignored nor hidden any longer But at the same time they knew that it wasn't as simple as sometimes in these matters it can sometimes end worse for the ones protesting for good as they were being comforted by Mr. Yaoyorozu.
For their sake they hoped that it wouldn't be the case.
For the Midoriya siblings their mother was already stressed and worried as it is and they didn't want to be too much trouble to her boyfriend even though he has already told them that they were no trouble to him at all, All of them could not help but worry.
Just then, there was pure silence, as they all soon took notice of it, That only lasted for literally 5 seconds before the yelling resumed as they all could hear the voice of the principal yelling even louder at the top of his lungs even though they could not hear precisely what he was saying, soon after they could somewhat here the voice of Toshinori here and there between the other man's shout rounds until Toshinori's voice could only be heard both loud and serious then before stopping the principles for a few moments.
Soon after that, The door of the principal's office soon opened as they can now hear what the principal was saying clearly as everyone but the principal, the bullies and their parents walked out of the office with stern and serious looks.
"YOU CAN'T DO THAT-!!"
"We can and we will, And there is absolutely nothing to do to stop us." Toshinori spoke with his tone matching the expression on his face as everyone was still facing the principal outside the office.
"And Don't even think about leaving marks on the children's files or going through with any of the threads that you had on them, we will know right away that it was your doing and you wil find yourself without a job or worse in jail." The officer, a tall man with short, black hair and somewhat-rectangular black eyes, in his police uniform consisting of a tan overcoat on top anda matching hat, underneath which he wears a black suit, a green tie at his neck with matching slacks and dress shoes All of which made him look like a detective on the force, told him as he held up his badge to emphasize that he was a police officer and he had the right to book him if he crossed the line, "Any attempts to ruin the reputations of these kids will land you some serious jail time. Don't make me warn you again." He concluded before he shut the door, ending the conversation.
Toshinori let out a sigh, pretty much exasperated as did the other adults as they did the same, as the blonde turn to the group as they looked up at them, anticipation, fear, nervousness, hope were all plastered on their faces waiting for their final verdict.
Toshinori, having seen this, gave them all an assuring smile as he then told them:
"Do not worry children, None will have to worry about coming here ever again."
FINALLY! I was going to make this longer but I wanted to get it done right away So I can move on to the next chapter.The next one will mainly center around Himeko Toga, That's all the details I'm going to give you.Plus I have some other things I need to take care of but I promise you that I'll work on the next chapter as soon as I possibly can.I hope you all enjoyed this chapter, Tell me what you think about it in your review And I hope you all have a great day.TTFN (Tata for now)
