There was a sharp clap of thunder as rain pelted the window, whoever was caught out in that storm would be having a hell of a day. Within a dark hospital room was a pair of new parents who gazed upon their silent bundle of joy who slumbered in her mothers arms.
"You do know what we have to do right?" Emi Fukukado asked, her eyes looking up towards her husbands. Shota Aizawa nodded his head before running his hands through his hair.
"Damn... how long will it be like this..." he asked, his wife already returning her attention towards the child. Both of them were pro heroes with many enemies, the public had no idea of their marriage or their child and they were planning to keep it that way. If anyone besides a few trusted people found out? Then that child would be hunted down for revenge.
"Shota you'll do fine, Nezu has already offered you a teaching job and protection for Himitsu, it's our best option..." her words were logical and normally he would agree with her but something was holding him back.
"But... you won't be able to see her, I don't want to deprive our child of her mother-"
"SHOTA!!! Do you think I don't know that!!!" Tears were spilling from Emi's eyes. "This is what's best for her not us!!! Shiketsu does not offer the same protection as UA!"
Her words clawed themselves into his mind as he tried desperately to find some way for them to stay together and keep the child, but sadly... no such option existed.
"Ok..."
Shota bowed his head and stared directly at the floor, his eyes shadowed by his long unruly hair. The plan would move forward then.
"Just stay strong... for her ok? This world is still being fixed and you are apart of that process. Do it for both Emi and Himitsu."
Shota turned his thoughts away from himself and towards the baby peaking out of the bundle of blankets.
"Such a puffy face... and such light hair... she's like a shining star that's hidden by the darkness of space. Our little secret... Himitsu"
"When can she leave" he asked, taking the bundle into his arms.
"She's been cleared to be brought home... I'll explain to recovery girl" Emi sniffed and nodded her head, her eyes still filled with tears waiting to be shed once he left. "Hey, I love you both ok?"
"Yah... we love you too" Shota raised Himitsus little arm and did a tiny wave before giving his wife a kiss and leaving the room.
The hospital wasn't as busy today, no one batting an eye at the homeless looking man carrying a baby. Nothing seemed to be out of place to them, after all they had gotten used to his presence over the past few days. The storm outside was soaked the pro hero to the bone the moment he stepped outside. His black shirt now dripping water as he rushed to an idling car. The door opening as he drew nearer and exposing a rat/bear/chimera thing.
"Did she say goodbye?" Nezu asked, his hands folded neatly in his lap, the creature was calculating all sorts of responses in preparation, the past few days had really been taxing for him.
"No, it would have been harder for both of us if she had" Shota answered "thank you, by the way, for allowing me to work at UA while she grows up. Her safety is my top priority right now."
Aizawas words sank in quickly for Nezu, however he was sure there was more to it. The birth of Himitsu Aizawa had been discussed for months now, how they would go about hiding her from the world of villains. The choice of what precautions would be in place had been discussed earlier in the hospital room.
"She will be raised around heroes and may in fact wish to become one once she's old enough. Besides education isn't a problem, I plan to tutor her with your permission. The staff will surely fall in love with your adorable Himitsu at first sight. Eventually the child will be able to meet her mother again, once things have settled down and you both decide on an appropriate time" Nezu let out an inward sigh as the car began to pull out of the parking lot. A lot would need to be put into effect now. Aizawa wasn't very high on the Hero charts nor was he widely recognized, but there were some dangerous villains who remembered his face.
"No parent should have to go through something like this, to be forced apart and keep their child a secret from the world. My only hope is that later on the child will understand the actions that were taken to insure their safety in this cruel world"
- Nezu
"Do you have any idea what kind of quirk she will have? Both you and Fukukado have very powerful quirks?" The rat tried shifting the topic to a much lighter tone, something away from the depressing atmosphere that hung over them.
"It could be a stronger quirk cancelling quirk, or something to mess with people's attitudes. Who knows... maybe she will get a unique power that doesn't have to do with her parents" Shota mumbled, his hand pulling down the blanket from his daughters lips so he could gaze upon her face. A hat had been placed upon her head to ensure proper skull formation.
"That's very true, I suppose only time will tell us what her power is. By the way I have picked out a house for you and the child to live in. It's within school grounds so you don't have to worry about a commute"
"Thank you principle Nezu"
"Of course Erasurehead"
AN (Authors Note)
And we have chapter two!!!
Hi guys... (two views when posted idk if you will see this but this is for future readers as well) I hope you are enjoying "Whispers of Silver!" I do know that the first chapter was a bit confusing but it will make sense eventually. Also I might go back and make edits but I will announce that before doing so.
Anyways I decided to clear some stuff up that I noticed when writing. So Emi is Mrs joke for those who don't know, she will be a major plot element later on. Also I havnt quite decided on a ship yet but you guys can offer some ideas depending on what you want.
Fun fact
Himitsu - Himitsu means "Secret" she is literally the Aizawa secret! Anyways this story has a very very very very long plan ahead of it and I hope any future readers will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.
See you all later
