"Right, you can't stay up too late boys." Inko told the four boys all sitting on the blankets on the floor.
"Okay Mama. Will Papa came say night night?" Izuku asked
"He gave me a call, he might have to work tonight. But he promises to be here in the morning." Inko smiled.
"Okay. Night night Mama!" Izuku beamed, Inko smiled softly, closing the door, but planning to let the boys talk for a while before making sure they go to bed.
"I miss my nii-chan." Tenya muttered.
"Me too, Mama said he'd be back." Izuku nodded.
"Is having a big brother fun?" Mirio asked, Tenya and Izuku nodded.
"Nii-chan reads to me at night!" Izuku smiled happily.
"Mine does too!" Tenya smiled. Mirio beamed as an idea came to mind.
"Should I read you a story and be your big brother tonight?" Suggested. The three younger boys looked at him with wide, star-filled eyes. Katsuki crawled to his bag and pulled out a small book. He held it out to Mirio with a small blush on his checks. Mirio beamed happily accepting the book.
"Okay sit around. He told them. Izuku, Tenya and Katsuki huddled under the blanket, the three of them, lying to each other. Mirio opened the book and began to read. That's how Inko found them when she came up to check on them. The three younger boys fast asleep as Mirio set the book aside. Inko smiled, shaking her head when she found herself wondering how long it would be before Izuku started calling Mirio Nii-chan too. She closed the door quietly and headed down stairs to finish off some work.
"Stay in the back ground my boy." Toshinori, in his hero form smiled. "And please be careful."
"Don't worry D… All Might." Shouta nodded. They were near the location of a drug ring. "I will stay hidden, if any leave the building, I erase their quirks."
"Yes. This is perfect stealth training for you." Toshinori said, Shouta nodded, before he blushed light, hiding his face in his capture scarf.
"Thank you for giving me this chance."
"Of course, I would have sent in my own request, but our images are very different. It would make more sense coming from Nighteye." Toshinori said. "I doubt there is much I can teach you."
"You've taught me a lot already…" Shouta said. " I'll be an underground hero version of All Might." Toshinori chuckled.
"Well, we'll see a lot of the underground villains being cleaned up once you graduate." Toshinori smiled. Shouta blushed, keeping his face hidden.
"Okay, we're already to go." Nighteye joined them, whispering. Toshinori nodded.
"How many?" Toshi asked
"6 with mutant quirks. There are fourteen more with either transformation or emitter quirks." Nighteye replied, "Most of are closer to the center of the warehouse, but I feel there may be one or two runners."
"I'll keep and eye on them." Shouta said.
"Avoid a fight at all costs." Nighteye told him, Shouta nodded. "Right, let's get this over with." Shouta stayed back in the shadows, as the two pros headed off. He took s deep breath, moving his googles to cover his eyes. This was going to be an experience.
Inko was awoken to the sound of the house phone going off. She yawned checking the time quickly. 3:17 AM. She frowned, did Izuku have a nightmare and call Toshi again? She quickly peeked into his room, but found him snuggled between Tenya and Katsuki in a hug. She began to worry a litte as she hurried down stairs to answer.
"Midoriya-san?" She heard Osamu ask
"What's happened?" Was her immediate reply.
"I… I miscalculated, and due to my mistake…"
"Shouta was hurt… Where is he?" Inko demanded. Osamu gave the name of the hospital, after the call, she rang Mitsuki, who was a little grumpy at being woken, understood once Inko had explain. She came over to watch the boys as Inko went to find out what happened to her oldest.
Inko met Toshi at the hospital. The pro was distraught. Inko wiped away his tears, cupping his face.
"I'm sorry, I should have…" Toshi began
"Toshi, I know." Inko told him. "I know you would never want Shouta to be in danger. Where is he?" Toshinori took her head and led her to a hospital room. Shouta was asleep.
"The villain had a strength quirk. Shouta took a hit to the back of his head, the doctors said he'll be fine, their only concern is concussion." Toshinori explained
"That's a relief." Inko sighed, placing a hand over her heart. She looked at Shouta with a strange feeling. "I never want to see our boys in a state like this again…"
"Me neither." Toshinori agreed. "Would you like to stay here for him to wake up? I could go home and keep and eye on Izuku and the boys."
"Mitsuki's got them." Inko leaned against him. "Please stay with me. We can get Torino to bring Izuku round later."
"Okay." Toshinori nodded, they sat outside Shouta's room, all they could do was wait.
"Ma…Auntie Missy?" Izuku asked, when he woke expecting to see his mother, confused to see his aunt.
"Mama?" Katsuki yawned, she turned to the four boys, each looking confused.
"Sorry, but Inko had to rush off early this morning. So, I am here to watch over you, okay?" Mitsuki smiled, she jumped the moments Izuku's eyes filled with tears, his friends looked at him.
"Papa or Nii-chan hurt…" He whimpered, tears spilling down his cheeks. Tenya, Katsuki and Mirio quickly wrapped their tearful friend up in a hug. Mitsuki knelt before them.
"I am sure they are okay Izuku. How about I give your mama a ring whilst you eat breakfast?" I am sure she is with your papa and brother now." Mitsuki offered. Izuku sniffed and nodded, Mitsuki ruffled his hair to comfort him.
Tenya and Mirio went home before lunch, but not before giving Izuku a big hug, then Torino arrived to take Izuku to the hospital.
"Give Inko my best." Mitsuki told him.
"I will, safe journey home." Torino replied. Katsuki gave Izuku one last hug as they went their separate way.
"Is Papa or Nii-chan okay?" Izuku asked Torino as they walked.
"It was your Nii-chan, he is fine, he will be staying in one more night, just to keep an eye on him. He is sorry that he worried you." Torino smiled. "He is going to be fine kid." Izuku began to cry in relief. Torino sighed and picked him up, holding him close.
Izuku stayed behind Torino as they walked into the room. Shouta was sitting up in bed talking to Inko and Toshi, he turned when Torino came in, he looked for Izuku. Izuku sniffed and went running over, and trying to climb on to the bed, but end up hanging over half of it. Toshi chuckled and lifted him up, setting him on the bed. Shouta immediately pulled him into a hug.
"Sorry for worrying you." He said, Izuku curled into him. Feeling a lot better.
"Nii-chan okay." Izuku said, snuggling into him happily. "Does this mean Nii-chan can come home now?" He asked, the family laughed lightly.
"Unfortunately, I have to stay on the internship, but I'll be doing inside work, and not getting involved with busts like that again." Shouta told him.
"aw…" Izuku pouted. Shouta smiled and hugged him tightly.
"It will be two more days, and I'll be home." Shouta told him.
"But that's…" Izuku looked at his hands. "That's forever!" He said, Shouta chuckled.
"believe me, I will be home in no time." Shouta told him, Izuku continued to pouted, but cuddling into his brother happily.
