TODOROKI
2 MONTHS LATER
I sigh as I walk into my mother's room. I finally had the balls to see her. Despite me ending things with Midoriya I started to wonder even more what happened. I owe this to myself. She is sitting on her bed reading a book. She looks up when she sees me. She brings her hands to her mouth in surprise. She knew I was coming though. She places the book down walking over to me. I can see her eyes light up.
"May I hug you?" she asks softly. I hold in a frown but nod that it is okay. My mother embraces me, and I must admit this feels nice. She doesn't feel dangerous at all. Her face is so soft, she looks younger than she is. Her grey steal eyes standing out against her pure white hair. She has her hair down just as I always remember her having it as a child. She feels so frail. She pulls away touching my face softly. "Thank you for coming to see me." I turn out of her hand.
"Um yeah," I reply. "I have a lot of questions."
"I understand," she says softly. My mom goes to sit down on her bed. "You can have a seat in my desk chair or my single sofa chair if that will be more comfortable." I take the desk chair rolling it in front of her bed so I'm sitting across from her. She is smiling before wiping a tear away. "I'm so glad to see you. You are more handsome in person." I blush at my mother's compliment.
"Thank you," I say slowly before clearing my throat. "What happened? How did you end up in here? Why…why did you hurt me?" I can tell this does get to her because she is no longer smiling.
"What did your father tell you?" she asked.
"Does it matter?" I ask trying not to sound rude. "He won't tell me anything." She nods.
"I will start from the beginning," she replies. "It will make more sense. I met your father at a gala. He was so handsome. He seemed different from any guy I have met previously. He didn't seem interested in my father's money but me. We started dating, I feel in love quickly. We had a big beautiful wedding." I stare at her in shock because I didn't know any of this. I wonder do my siblings know. "I got pregnant on our wedding night. I didn't mind knowing he could provide for our family. I always wanted to be a mother." She smiles when saying that, but it doesn't reach her eyes.
"Your father worked a lot. I didn't mind at all," she continues. "When your brother got his quirk your father was not happy. He then wanted us to try again. He didn't like your brothers quirk or your sister's quirk. Then you came along. He was satisfied with your quirk." She sighs heavily. "After that things changed. He wanted to train you all the time. He also started to become aggressive towards me." I raise an eyebrow. I know my dad can be harsh but how can he be that way towards the woman he loves.
"Um….I don't know what to say….." I mutter. Seeing how my father treated me I can only imagine how he treated her.
"Your father is an abusive man," she states. "He favored you over your siblings because of your quirk. He married me for my quirk and nothing more. It destroyed me…I loved him." The look on her face reminded me of that final blow I delivered to Midoriya. My chest aches seeing this. "The day I burned you is a blur. Your dad was home but when he arrived home I don't know. He was always gone. It's not as if he went out of his way to speak to me. I was on the phone, but I can't remember what I said or did. I just remember your father tackling me to the ground as I tried to fight him. I….I didn't want him touching me." I can tell my father traumatized my mother. I knew he could be a monster, but this is extreme.
"I'm so sorry," I apologize.
"I'm sorry I hurt you," she replied. "No need for you to apologize. You didn't do anything wrong. I did have a break in my mental state which led your father put me in here. He now has control over my money, my well being….."
"Control over your money?" I question as a red flag goes off. She nods.
"My parents passed away right after you were born," she explains. "As an only child with him as my husband he got all the money, assets…I guess I should be glad that he at least put me in a nice place." She shakes her head for a moment looking ashamed. "As I said I am really sorry. Did I answer all of your questions?" I nod my head yes. "Can I ask some questions of my own?"
"Not yet….." I reply standing up. "I need some time. Maybe in the near future."
"Okay," she says softly. "Are you leaving now?"
"Yes," I reply. My mind is overwhelmed. I need space, time to think. "I will be back, but I don't know when." She nods and I like the fact she is not pressing me. I quickly leave from the room without another word. Dad married her for her quirk and her money. Then he just tossed her away? He fucking broke her. I get my driver to take me to my dad's agency. It is late in the evening on a Friday, so I know he is still there. I am pissed off by the time I get there. I had way too much to stew in my thoughts. I walk into the building heading straight to his office. I walk inside without even knocking and that was a mistake.
My father has some girl bent over his desk and he is literally fucking the shit out of this girl. He hair is flying every which way as her cries of pleasure bounce off the walls. It is making her voice sound louder than it is. My father looks up at me. I close the door in the event someone else is still in the office. I don't need anyone seeing my father in this state.
"Shouto…." he pants. "What are you doing here?" He doesn't stop his sexual act at all. I frown as the girl makes eyes contact with me smirking before licking her lips. Disgusting. I frown turning my attention to my father.
"Dad….I need to talk about mom," I state folding my arms. "Your company needs to come back."
"I'm almost done," says dad. "Give me 2 minutes."
"I don't fucking have 2 minutes!" I shout at him. He stares at me and his hips still.
"Aww….don't stop," pouts the girl. "Can't you talk and take care of me?"
"I could," says dad.
"Bitch get the fuck out of here," I hiss at her. "This is a family matter." My fire quirk has flames coming from my hand because I am beyond agitated. I need to speak to my dad and she is worried about getting fucked.
"You're a hero," she sasses. "You won't hurt me." My dad grabs her by her hair pulling her head back as leans down.
"He won't but I will," he hisses in her ear before biting it lightly. "Go clean yourself, we will finish when I am done speaking to my son. Got it?" She can't nod or speak because of how tight he is pulling her hair. He lets her go turning his back to me as he buttons up his pants. I watch as she scrabbles to pull her skirt down. She quickly grabs her shoes running from the room. "This had better be important."
"It is," I replied. "How much money did you get from mom's parents?" He turns around glaring at me.
"I have no idea what you are talking about," he states calmly.
"Cut the bullshit!" I hiss walking over to him ignoring the smell of sex. "You was always up my ass, making it seem like if I didn't beat All Might or become the number one hero we would starve. You made me feel like I wouldn't be shit without being a hero. Yet you had money before even becoming a hero thanks to mom."
"I don't know where this is coming from," he replies walking around his desk. "You better watch your tone."
"What the hell is wrong with you?" I question him in disgust. "I know what happened." He folds his arms.
"Finally spoke to your mom I see," he replies folding his arms. "Of course, she is going to speak ill of me."
"Actually, she didn't," I replied. "I'm surprised she didn't, considering what you did to her."
"Oh please," says dad throwing his hands in the air. "She knew what this was from the beginning. It is not my fault that she fell in love. She was there to provide me a successor and that was all. The money was a bonus." I put my hand on my forehead.
"You are unbelievable!" I hiss at him.
"So you are just going to believe everything she says?' he asks.
"Hell yes I am!" I snap at him. "I have nothing further to say to you." I begin to walk out of the office ignoring my father. I feel overwhelmed and for the first time in a while…..I want to see Midoriya. I want to talk to him. Tell him everything. Have him comfort me, tell everything is going to be okay. I know that won't be happening. I get into the SUV telling my driver to take me to the bar Midoriya took me to back in May. My mind is swirling right now. Not just everything with my mom but Midoriya too.
He has become a loner at school. That's not who he is. He hasn't talk back to me again, but he doesn't talk to anyone. It's like he is just there. I feel bad although I know I did the right thing. He is a young kid and doesn't realize how costly these teacher and student relationships are. I can't even begin to think of the many times students end up spilling the beans. Although I know the students don't know. If they did, I would know for sure. I sigh because I am the cause of his pain. I really want to see him. Tell him everything about my mom. That is the sucky part about being a loner. I have no one to speak to. I thank my driver and tell him to stay close by. I get out of the truck wrapping my coat around me as the November cold is thick.
I walk down the street and lucky for me people are busy trying to get out of the cold. I see the liquor store come into view. I am certainly going to have 3 zombies maybe more. I head around the corner when I spot Midoriya outside the entrance. I will always spot him in a crowd. I see two guys standing over at him. What the hell is this?
"Hey!" I shout. Midoriya glances at me. The fear in his eyes is not missed. I begin to run towards him when the two guys turn towards me. I almost freeze up recognizing Tomura and Dabi. Tomura grabs Midoriya by the throat.
"Not another move," he says calmly. "This…..this has nothing to do with you." Dabi is smirking as I watch the black portal open up. "I know little green here is your student. Hmmm….we may bring him back unharmed. Depends on how I feel." He begins to chuckle stepping further into the portal. I'm so scared, angry, I feel like an idiot for drawing attention losing my chance to sneak up on them. They disappear into the void. League of villains haven't made any major moves in 2 years. Why now?
"Fuck!" I shout. I pull out my phone calling the police first before calling my dad.
"I didn't think I would hear from you so soon," he says smugly.
"Shut up!" I snap. "This is important. One of my students have just been kidnapped by the League of Villains."
"Are you sure?" asked my father his voice changing to his serious tone.
"He was taken right in front of me!" I yell. I take a few deep breaths. "I'm on my way to the office and getting into uniform. I have to find him."
"Have you alerted anyone else?" asked dad.
"I have alerted the police," I explain. "They aren't going to alert the public. Last thing we need happening."
"Good move son," says dad. "I will alert the staff at U.A."
"Thanks," I reply. "I will see you soon." I end the call feeling this animalistic rage building inside of me. This doesn't feel like the League just took a random student, it feels personal. It is very personal for me. They have no idea what they just unleashed.
