Hitoshi was as excited as he was nervous, he'd been looking forward to this since the beginning of the school year. He and dad knew from the beginning that he was no match for the robots at the entrance exam, they hadn't been training long enough to build up that kind of strength or speed. So this? The UA sports festival? That's what he'd been training for instead. He was eager to show what he'd learned to the hero's watching, his schoolmates, and his family. He'd already completed the race, but he'd yet to see any of his strange little family. He knew where his dad's were, up in the announcer's booth. The girls however were nowhere to be seen. And now it was time for the Cavalry battle, an event where he had to team up with others and what he was most nervous about. He quickly "found" a team however, and just in time he was able to spot the three girls cheering for him near obnoxiously from the stands.
The girls had managed to sneak away from their dads' sides in order to get a closer seat to watch Hitoshi. The race had just ended as they found their seats and the Calvary battle was about to start. "Do you see him?" Maddie asked, using her eagle eyes ability. Soon her eyes found him and she pointed him out. "Found him! Over there! Toshi-nii-chan good luck!"
"Go Nii-Chan!" Ash screams, excited for their older brother. "Hopefully he proves himself worthy of a spot in the school!" Ash adds as she continues cheering for Hitoshi.
Maggie laughs, "Kick some ass, Toshi!" Leaning over, she ruffles both the girls hair, "He'll do great!" She placates before dropping her head and muttering to herself bitterly," Unfortunately what matters is if other people choose to acknowledge it or not."
Hitoshi face palms, hiding his smile with false annoyance.
Ojiro raises an eyebrow, helping Shinso up onto his perch on top of his team members both of which seem to be in a daze but he figures they're just focused on how this will go. "Are they... yelling at you?"
Hitoshi nods, "Yes, is that a problem?"
"No-"
And with that the battle began.
The girls were on the edge of their seats as they watched their brother stealthily steal headbands, one after the other. Maddie was starstruck by her brother, but was distracted by a loud shout from the loud explosion boy. "Is that boy okay? He seems to be shouting the loudest and looks this close to murdering someone. " She asked, squinting her fingers close together
Ash laughs, the blonde boy does look like he's very close to snapping someone's neck. She continues cheering for Hitoshi, her usually soft quiet voice is now loud and booming.
"I'm pretty sure that one is Bakugo, the one with the explosion quirk and a bad attitude that Aizawa always talks about." Maggie watches the entire arena with interest, teams involving Class 1A especially so. She wanted to put names to faces before going to school next week. It helped that those teams seemed to be in the middle of the action anyways. "I know for a fact that the red and white haired one is Endeavor's son, and the boy with green hair that won the last round is Midoriya, the kid that literally broke both his legs at the entrance exam. I have no idea about the rest."
Hitoshi was beginning to get a little bit of a headache, thankfully that's when the competition ended. He had his team put him down before releasing his hold on them and showing them the headbands he had collected. They were rightfully confused, but too dazed to really confront him at the moment.
Maggie listened to Present Mic reveal the top four teams, grinning when she heard Hitoshi's being third, "Well, I'll be damned."
The girls cheered for Hitoshi getting third, even if his teammates didn't look pleased. After calming down, Maddie turned to the others, "Do you think they would let us down to the locker room where Toshi is? I want to congratulate him in person."
"We can ask Aizawa and Mic. C'mon! Let's try and find them!" Ash exclaims.
Maggie giggles, preparing her best puppy dog face. They snuck their way into the booth where Mic and Aizawa were.
Hitoshi watched them go, knowing what they were planning. He skittered off to get his lunch, hoping to avoid anyone confronting him about what he had done. Opening it he couldn't help but laugh at the addition that he hadn't packed. Apparently dad had found the time to sneak in one of his nutrient pouches when he wasn't paying attention. He snorts.
The girls quietly entered the booth where Mic and Aizawa were eating. Maddie being the one to ask, "Can we go to the lock rooms and have lunch with Toshi, please?" She begged with puppy dog eyes.
Aizawa, wrapped in bandages, just gave a blank stare. Normally he wouldn't mind but with the sports festival going on he couldn't prevent anything from anything happening.
"Please! We promise we'll behave!" Ash adds, looking at Mic as he usually caves to her begging.
"I'm not sure girls, why don't you three stay with us for now?" Mic says. It's not that he doesn't want the girls to roam around but at the same time he doesn't need the girls getting lost or into any unintentional trouble.
Maggie pouts, putting on the same face she'd make when she was a little girl who wanted her parents to buy her something, "Don't you trust us? We'll be going to school in a couple of days anyways."
Maddie put her hands together and bowed her head, "Please! I promise we'll stay out of and stay by Toshi's side the whole time and we'll come right back here when lunch is over." She begged.
Aizawa looked at each of his daughters before sighing, they were just like him, stubborn to the end. Finally he caved and nodded.
Ash smiles, bowing to Aizawa. "We promise we'll behave and be back before the second half starts!" Ash says. She grabs Maddie's hand and drags her to go see where Nii-Chan was having lunch.
"Let's hope they don't get into any trouble. Hopefully they don't freeze up if they meet their future classmates." Hizashi says as he gives Shota a worried look.
Maggie eagerly follows the other two, "Don't stray far, we gotta stick together." She chuckles, only half joking. If it was just her she would have stuck to Aizawa and Mic like glue, not exactly being the exploring type. "We don't want to get lost or run into anyone weird." As they entered the tunnels, she got a weird feeling. She immediately closed the gap between her and her friends, not liking the vibes the closed off space was giving off.
Elsewhere...
Mineta seemed to have a sixth sense for girls. Whenever one he hadn't met was around, he knew. So when he saw three girls he'd never seen before turning down one of the gen-ed tunnels? He fucking booked it over. Tiny legs moving at a speed no one had ever seen. The rest of the class watched as he went, confused and concerned.
Ash led the way, pulling Maddie by the arm into one of the gen-ed locker rooms, with Maggie close behind. "Toshi-nii-chan! Good job!" Maddie exclaimed, hugging him. She knew he didn't like public affection but she was too proud to care.
Ash also hugs Toshi tightly, "You did great! We can't wait to see you in the second half!" She exclaims.
Maggie also comes in for a hug, not nearly as bone crushing as the other two's, there was time for that later. She could feel eyes on them, making her shutter. "Yeah, you did great! You wanna go sit so you can eat your lunch, maybe fill us in on your strategy for next round?" Her eyes flit around not sure who was giving her the creeps.
Hitoshi did his best to fight down his blush, and put on a smug smirk instead. Praise often got him flustered, "Thanks. Yeah, lets eat-"
The brainwasher was cut off by seeing a 3ft tall ball headed kid come out of nowhere and grab not one but two of his sisters'' asses. Mineta Minoru was squeezing Maddie's and Ash's ass cheeks like stress balls while drooling and mumbling perverse things that no 15 year old should ever hear.
Maddie let go of Toshi and whipped around so fast she was a blur, before grabbing Mineta by the shirt and lifting him to eye level. "What the fuck. Do you think? You're doing?" She emphasized each section with fury in her eyes. she was used to weird looks considering her past life but for him to touch her and Ash? HELL NO!
Ash gasps and jumps when she feels his hands on her butt. She turns and sees Maddie holding the pervert.
Hitoshi is equally angry, but doesnt want the girls to get in trouble before even properly enrolling, so he grabs them both and yanks them back. Maggie knocks the creep out of Maddie's hands but grabs the crying baby by the back of his shirt, holding him at arms length, "WHO THE FUCK DOES THIS THING BELONG TO?" She screams shaking him violently, the air around her crackling from her rage and pent up energy.
Meanwhile Hitoshi is doing his best to calm and comfort the two, but it's a bit difficult when he's clearly enraged. If there hadn't been so many witnesses, the freak would probably be dead.
Maddie is shaking in Hitoshi's arms, "WHO THE FUCK IS THAT PERV?" She screamed, against Hitoshi's chest. All she wanted was to have lunch with her family, not get molested by a child.
Some of class 1A hesitate to step forward out of sheer fear of the three girls.
"We're so sorry! Please don't hurt him!" Deku shouts. He knows that what Mineta did was wrong but that doesn't mean that he should be killed for it.
"Just let him get punched Deku! Maybe this time he'll finally learn!" Bakugo exclaims. He never cared for Mineta since day one, now the pervert has taken it too far groping the two visitors,
Maggie shakes the little fucker harder, "Someone needs to come take this fucker away from me. He is the size of a roach and I will squish him like one, but I'm not putting this fucker on the ground and letting him skitter away like one. I'm going to hand him to someone reliable, so if someone reliable does not come and take this creature away from me before I lose my temper he is going to fucking die."
At that, Tenya hesitantly approaches stomach churning as he gets closer. The air around the girl was thick with something, making it hard to breathe. He holds out his hands to take Mineta, "I'm the class president." He chokes out hesitantly, freezing at her glare, "I'll be sure to inform our teacher of this incident."
At that Maggie growls, throwing Mineta at Ingenium jr. head first. The small boy sticking to his chest by his hair, "Be sure to do that. I'll know if you don't."
Maddie finally called down before sighing. "Man, and I promised dad we wouldn't get into trouble." She whined. "Now him and papa are sure to never let us out of their sight.
Maggie's comment confused the students, "Um sorry how will you know?" Asked Denki
Maggie looks at Denki, unamused, "None of your damn business Sparky."
"She has ways." Ash says ominously, still hugging Maddie for comfort, trying to fight off the icky feeling of being groped by hugging someone she loves.
"Again we're very sorry for Mineta's behavior. We promise we'll get the teachers involved. Midoriya says as she wants to make sure the girls know that the pervert won't get away with this without punishment.
"Let's just get lunch and go find our parents. I don't wanna be near the pervert." Ash whines. This was supposed to be a fun day but now it is ruined.
The hand that Maggie had used to hold Mineta felt disgusting, "Let's go eat, but first where the hell is the bathroom? I need to literally wash my hands of that sticky fuck."
Hitoshi, not really giving a fuck about his reputation at the moment, doesn't hesitate to comfort the two girls while leading them away. Glaring harshly at the whole of 1A. His dad was never going to hear the end of this from him, that's for sure. He only hoped that he'd have a chance at Mineta before his father got to him first. "Come on Maggie, It's on the way." All this did was give the boy more reason to excel in the next round of competition seeing as the majority of competitors were 1A students.
Maddie let Toshi lead her away but not before flipping Mineta off once more. Soon all four of them were by the food stands before stopping. She turned to Toshi, "I'm sorry I caused a scene." She apologized, suddenly embarrassed.
Ash felt bad too, they promised Aizawa and Mic that they wouldn't cause a scene and yet they did. "We're never gonna hear the end of this." She sighs as they stop to wash their hands in the bathroom.
Hitoshi drinks his juice pouch, holding their food while waiting outside the door. "You guys didn't cause a scene, you were sexually assaulted!" He shouted, clearly not happy, "By a guy in Dad's class none-the-less!" He threw his empty juice pouch, startling a nearby student.
Maggie groans, rubbing her hands raw under the scalding hot water. She knew they were clean but they didn't FEEL clean. "No fucking kidding, neither of you did anything wrong and you shouldn't act like you did. If anyone has a problem then they can shove it." They left the restroom, taking their food from Hitoshi. "Lets just go eat with Aizawa and Yamada. It will be fine."
By the time the four returned to the booth, Aizawa was standing there, arms crossed.
"So I heard you had an encounter with my class." He said in a deadpan voice.
Maddie just cringed, fingers tightening around her food, great they were gonna get yelled at for causing a scene, even after they promised to avoid trouble.
Ash shrinks a little, she hates making either one of her dads angry, even if they just give her a stern lecture. She still hated it, more so when Aizawa was the one lecturing/punishing them.
"We didn't want to cause a scene! But we couldn't just let that groper get away with touching us like that!" Ash shouts, her voice sounding angry and defensive but her face shows nothing but fright.
Maggie rolls her eyes, not really intimidated at the moment because she knows that she's in the right and that Aizawa is a reasonable person who would be able to see that. After all, the fucker didn't have a scratch on him. "I wouldn't call a double sexual assault a 'run in,'" she made air quotes, biting the inside of her cheek as just thinking about it made her angry, "But I guess if that's what you want to call it, it works. And I'll have you know, for what it's worth I personally think we handled ourselves very well considering the circumstances."
Hitoshi nodded, eyes narrow. He had half a mind to go back and beat the little perv to a pulp, but he'd rather not face his fathers wrath. "I agree, we didn't even hurt him! Dont get me wrong, if we did he would have deserved it, but we showed restraint! It's not their fault that you've got a perverted creep in your class!"
Aizawa waited until they got all of their shouts and pent up anger out before answering,
"Are you done, okay. First I wasn't going to lecture you. I was gonna ask if you were ok. Second I was going to tell you we plan on pressing charges, he has done this too many times and me and Nezu believe enough is enough. Lastly no one touches my kids like that!" He said that last part seriously.
Ash is stunned, they were not gonna get yelled at and Aizawa was pressing charges. Ash can't help but give the tired man a hug. "Thank you."
Hizashi leads the four kids into the pro hero booth, showing his worry for the kids a bit more than his husband was. He is doing his best to hide how furious he was that a student from Shota's class dared to lay their hands on his girls inappropriately.
"You are eating here and you three are not leaving this room anymore." Hizashi says sternly. He wished that his children didn't have to go through that mess but at least now they can punish Mineta accordingly for his actions.
"I figured that was the case. However it's always best to assume the worst, especially with cases like this, considering I'm sure you're aware how often things like this get swept under the rug.." Maggie said, Her faith in humanity was not very high.
Hitoshi focused on comforting Maddie and Ash by rubbing their backs and just being with them, content that his father would handle the situation properly. "Let's have lunch. I've gotta eat quickly considering that I've gotta go back down and participate in the tournament."
"Speaking of which, things really got out of hand down there, but you did really well. Did you brainwash your entire team, Toshi?" Maggie asked, questioning whether botching his already shoddy reputation was a good idea.
"I don't intend to make friends."
Maggie rolled her eyes at that, snorting.
Maddie just ate her lunch, leaning on Hitoshi, happy to just be with her family, "You say that but just watch. It'll happen, Nii-chan."
Ash isn't so sure about making friends, while it does sound very nice. For now, she's content with Maddie, Maggie and Nii-chan.
Hizashi carefully watches over his children whenever anyone gets up or makes a sudden move still very much on edge after what happened with Mineta.
The four teens speak among themselves the entire time they're together, they seem to have built a rather solid bond over the year they have been living together. It was rather adorable to see the usually reclusive and quiet children interact with each other. They really seem like they're true siblings instead of foster/exchange students.
Hitoshi finishes his lunch, sighing, "I gotta go..."
Maggie headbutts his shoulder affectionately, "Kick some ass out there alright?"
Hitoshi chuckles, "That's the plan."
Maddie nodded, "We'll be cheering for you, win or lose but hopefully win." She said cheerfully, giving him a quick hug.
Shota just nods his head quietly at his son, silently wishing him luck. Hizashi ruffles Hitoshi's hair affectionately as he walks past.
"Good luck Hitoshi!" Ash says as she waves goodbye to her older brother. The three girls watch as the second half of the festival begins, none of them could hide their excitement.
Shinso watched as two of his teammates from the cavalry battle dropped out of the competition because they couldn't remember it, fools. He'd honestly done him a favor, they'd have been a lot less coordinated if he hasn't used his quirk on them. He rolled his eyes, and looked at the modified line up, he was going against Midoriya Izuku of all people. Shit.
Maggie winced, if Midoriya knew about Hitoshi's quirk he was screwed.
Maddie cringed, this was either gonna go really good or horrible. Hopefully the former because she doesn't really want to watch her brother get beaten by who she's heard called "All Might Jr."
Ash watches with worry and excitement, she hopes that Hitoshi will beat Midoriya. The three of them are practically gripping their seats so hard they're close to crushing them as they watch the two boys fight in the ring.
Maggie cringes watching Hitoshi get flipped out of the ring, confused how Midorya broke out of Hitoshi brainwashing him, "I definitely got to compliment him on that punch later, he rocked broccoli boys shit with that even if he lost."
Shinso is stunned, lying on the ground for a few moments as he thinks about the shit that led him to here before standing and dusting himself off. Trying to shake off his defeat.
Maddie leaned on the glass as she watched Hitoshi walk off the platform, his head down. He was so close, how did he break out? Noone had ever been able to. "Poor nii-chan"
Ash wants to run to Nii-chan and give him a hug but neither Mic nor Aizawa would let them leave the room. She looks at Hitoshi helplessly, he worked so hard for this, she can tell it really hurt him.
"The fact that Midoryia was able to break out of Hitoshi's brainwashing is freaky as hell, don't you think? What's up with that kid?" Maggie said, biting her inner cheek while trying to distract herself from Toshi's sad face.
Hitoshi retreated to grab his things and cool off before returning to the booth, he was mildly freaked out. He did his best to shake it off and sneak to the booth, not wanting to be confronted by literally anyone. He managed just that, shooting a small smile at the girls, "Hey."
Maddie just quietly walked over and hugged him without saying anything, sensing he didn't want to talk about it. Ash tries petting Hitoshi's hair to relax him and show that she feels bad for him, doing her best to comfort her older brother. Maggie joins the hug, giving him a big squeeze. She pokes him in the cheek with a cookie she didn't eat from her lunch, food made things better.
Hitoshi chuckled, taking the cookie, "Thanks." The affection they were providing was making him feel a lot better, despite his wounded pride. Aizawa just watched questions running through his mind, how did the problem child do that? He's seen Hitoshi use his quirk and no one has been able to get out of it before. So what's going on?
Maddie just hugged him tight, "listen even if you lost your still awesome ok? Win or lose you deserve to be transferred." She said quietly.
"Let's just hope they do let you transfer." Ash says as she continues petting him, lightly playing with his poofy hair. All three of the girls pray that Hitoshi is allowed to move to Class 1A despite not winning the last fight.
Maggie chuckles, "Considering you destroyed the first couple competitions, I'm sure you'll get in. And I'm the most pessimistic bitch in this room." She pinches his cheek, pulling it upwards to make him half smile, "Now smile, you did great. Of everyone in the tournament All Might jr. being the kid you lost to is nothing to be ashamed of."
Hitoshi gave a little smile at that, "You three are great." He pulled his sisters into a group hug, honestly feeling a bit emotional at the support and faith they had in him.
The four just stayed in their small cuddle pile as the festival went on and soon came to a close with Bakugo coming first. "Wow, for someone who won he doesn't seem happy." Maddie said, but froze as she saw them put a muzzle and chains on him. "T-that's not cool." Shaking slightly while frowning she looked away, bad memories resurfacing.
Aizawa frowned at this, sure Bakugo was loud and reckless sometimes but this was too much. Mic didn't like this either, but there's not much that he can do, Nezu was in charge and they have to follow orders.
Ash pulls Maddie into a tight hug, humming to her to help her handle the bad memories. She hates seeing Maddie get upset like this. Maggie was horrified, what was wrong with this school? What sort of hero chains a teenage boy to a post and says, 'yeah that's fine.' She felt sick to her stomach, maybe coming here was a mistake after all. First the perv and now THIS. Some of the students are LAUGHING. She grabs onto the three not feeling safe. Her and Shinso especially popped to mind. If this is what they did to the winner of the sports festival, what on earth would they do to kids with 'villain quirks' if they even slightly stepped out of line? "What the fuck..." She breathed out, barely a whisper.
Hitoshi was on a similar train of thought, holding the girls in a death grip. Bakugo Katsuki was abrasive for sure, but he knew what it was like to be muzzled like a wild animal and it made him sick to his stomach to see the explosive boy in such a state, "He almost... looks scared. I didn't think that was possible..."
Maddie just hid her face in Hitoshi's back and had his shirt in a death grip. For someone to go through what she went through was not only cruel but haunting. If he didn't want it, don't force him. Just give it to the second place winner. They didn't need to go to such extremes and in front of everyone. It disgusted her that some people were laughing, didn't they see his face. "Is it over yet?" Maddie whispered to Hitoshi.
Ash covers her eyes as she's overwhelmed by what she sees. Ash just wants the festival to be over so they can go home and forget about this.
Hitoshi sighs in relief as the ceremony ends, "It's over. It's alright guys, it's going to be okay. I promise."
Maggie shivers, but tries to comfort the girls despite her own discomfort, "Its over, we can go home soon and just rest. We'll be alright and so will he."
Hitoshi shoots his dads pleading look, they need to go asap. He bit his lower lip, almost making himself bleed. They needed to be somewhere they felt safe and right now that was anywhere but here. He understood they were both teachers and therefore had duties to attend to, but he hoped they could make it quick.
Thankfully the four's parents got excused and led their kids out of the stadium and far away from the horrible scene. When they got back to the apartment Maddie all but threw herself on her bed with the covers over her head
Ash dives onto the bunk bed, she puts on her head phones and does her best to forget the world exists.
Maggie flops on her bed, wanting the day to be over but knowing that her head wont let her sleep. Especially after what she witnessed today, and the fact they'd be dealing with kids she'd already made a bad impression on when Monday morning comes? She'd be up with thoughts of doom and gloom swirling in her head all night. "Fuck." She hoped that at least her loved ones would get some rest. All of them had a rough day.
Hitoshi, while shaken by the day's events, was actually dead tired for once and is essentially sleep walking to his bedroom. Exhaustion, both physical and mental, managed to actually win out over his insomnia for once. He was out like a light the second his head hit the pillow.
Despite the stressful afternoon, the anxiety of the coming Monday weighed on them more as the sun set and night stretches on.
