Time to update with the help Nezu called, Next chapter will have some good news for the big family.
"And that's it! Do you understand why I need your help now? I know is too much information to handle right now, but we can't waste time." Nezu said while looking at the couple in front of him.
"Yes I understand, that explains why All Might is so close to those people. To think that Psy Storm and Hellfire son is in such situation." The man drinks his tea and looks at the mysterious animal in front of him with a frown on his face."Why are you telling us all this?"
"Because Hisashi helped you avoid your family tragedy, wouldn't you like to return the favor Enji?" Nezu then looks to the pro heroes.
Enji Todoroki also known as the fire hero Endeavor is a tall, sturdily-built man with a very muscular physique. He has short crimson hair which he wears spiked up around his head and sharp turquoise eyes with a red beard and mustache around his jaw.
Rei Todoroki is also known as the Ice hero Blizzard is a middle-aged woman with an average height and build. She has straight shoulder-length white hair with rather long bangs over her face. Her face has round features and her eyes are brown-gray with reasonably long eyelashes.
It's been a week since Enji got a call from Nezu, he was on the other side of the country on a mission so when he heard it was an emergency he came as soon as he could.
"I understand the situation, but helping him would mean go against not only the Hero Association but the whole government." Rei said with a serious tone."I don't know if that is a fight we could win."
"Lady Nagant was a prisoner of them, but Hisashi didn't hesitate to even kill people to free her." He said while smiling."I am not asking you both to start a civil war, what I am asking is that you help me avoid one."
"What you mean?" Enji asked while drinking his tea.
"If the Hero Association touches even a single hair of that kid or his wife, Hisashi would go killing everyone without hesitation, The pro heroes would have to go after him, you included." Nezu then sips on his tea."He wouldn't go down peacefully and I doubt his friends wouldn't side with him, he is a friend with many pros, I believe besides you two, all the pros above rank 20 would take his side." Nezu explained.
"And since the pros would take his side, the civilians would too, the friends and families of said pros would too." Rei said while thinking about the possible outcome of the situation.
"Not only that, Hisashi probably knows some villains too. I doubt someone like him would be able to keep the escaping the Association without some intel on the other side." Enji concluded.
"Just how powerful he is to do all that? And why hide his powers? If he was the symbol of peace, I doubt they would try anything with him or his family." Rei said while looking at Nezu.
"Some legends are powerful enough to make him able to kill All Might without even breathing hard." Nezu tone was more serious now. "But he wouldn't do it without a reason, so I want to avoid him having one."
"So what you want us to do?" Rei asked surprised by how powerful the man was.
"I want both to simply go talk with him, let your kids be friends or something. Everyone has a lot of fun when Hisashi is around, maybe Shouto could even become a good friend to Izuku, not many kids want to approach the children of the top 10." Nezu said while pouring another cup of tea for them.
"Toya did grow without many friends since most kids were afraid of me, Fuyumi and Natsuo were easier since they went to prestigious schools and the kids of many pros go there." Enji put a hand on his chin thinking."Shouto could have some friend of his age too. Okay Nezu, I will call him later to see if we could talk."
"I think is a good idea for the kids to become friends, but how that would help the situation?" Rei asked while eating a cookie.
"Just you being there already helps, if they see so many strong heroes around him they won't be able to approach his family without risking a fight against them and after what happened with Lady Nagant and the previous president." Nezu didn't need to say anything for them to understand.
"Okay, we are going now. I will call him and do everything we can to help." He then grabs his wife's hand and both starts walking out of Nezu's office but Rei stopped to look at the principal.
"My oldest son Toya will do the entrance exam here next year." She turns around to look him in the eyes."If he passes, please make sure he becomes the best hero he can be." She said with a soft smile.
"Every student that is accepted in this school is like my own child, but I am surprised, you wouldn't us recommendation?" He asked curious about what reason they have.
"My son is as stubborn as I am, he said that he wants to prove himself," Enji said with a small smile on his face.
"Then I can't wait to see what he can do." The principal said while smiling at the parents.
They nodded and left the office, they walked in silence for 20 minutes until they got into the car.
"You think he really is as strong as Nezu said?" Rei was the first to break the silence.
"I don't know, but I remember every time we had to work together he always made sure he was somewhere no one could see or hear him." Enji said starting to drive.
"Then we must go meet him personally and see if we discover anything. Worst case scenario we will have to choose a side." Rei was getting worried about what they got into.
"We will be okay, we will go through this together." He gave a soft kiss on his wife."Call him. Let's see what is so great about the Midoriyas that make everyone interested in them."
-/ Kendo Dojo /-
"Again!" Hisashi said while looking at Melissa punching another golem. She was going well, she was learning to control the flow at a good pace, but she still damaged the golem with the glyph a little.
"Yes sir!" She then punches again and another training golem was destroyed, the golem with the glyph also suffered minor damages.
"You are learning to control it which is good, but since the quirk has so much power you will need to hold back constantly so you don't have the risk of killing someone when training." Hisashi said while looking at the remains of the destroyed golem.
The other kids were training between themselves, Izuku, Mei, and Neito vs Katsumi, Itsuka, and Yui. They were training with their quirks in team combat. Kazuya and Tsunagu were watching from the side, giving advice when necessary.
"They are improving so fast that I am starting to think we should train more too." Kazuya joked.
"Give them a decade and they will be having a good fight for the place as number one." Tsunagu can see the potential in those kids.
"In a decade they will be strong enough to beat me with the arms tied on their backs" Toshinori came to them while keeping his eternal smile on his face, Kaina was coming beside him.
"Mei is already becoming as good as me, I am training at least an hour each day out of my patrols so I can at least make her more motivated to keep training." Kaina said full of pride in her disciple.
"Where's everyone? Shouldn't you guys be with them?" Kazuya asked looking at Toshinori.
"In the kitchen, they are making lunch for us and kicked me out of there because I was caught stealing some meatballs." He said a little guilty.
"And I was kicked out because Mitsuki said that Inko already had her hands full enough to be sure I don't make poison there." Kaina said pouting.
They then watched the kids fight, but they did notice that Izuku seem distracted.
"Are you getting tired Icchan?" Katsumi said smirking, provoking Izuku. "I know you are worried about her, we all are, but focus on the training." Her tone was more serious.
"Sorry, I worry about everyone, not just her. I am just thinking about one thing I saw on Gilgamesh legend." He said while creating a small iron shield to protect himself.
"Hey, greenie! Kick their butts now, talk later." Mei said while shooting rubber bullets on Itsuka while she used a bench Yui had made big to protect herself.
"Too slow Neito." Itsuka smirked to him
Itsuka then threw the bench on Mei that dodged and tried to shoot again, but Yui closed the distance and went to attack her, but Neito protected her.
"Not so fast Yui, You are not getting to her." He said smirking at her.
Yui then came around Itsuka and both attacked him, Mei was giving him cover, which gave them an advantage since she was keeping her distance while shooting.
Izuku went to help Neito and Katsumi turned to Mei, using her explosions to close the distance faster made her engage in close combat with the girl.
Hisashi Heard his cellphone and was surprised to see an unknown number there."Hello?"
"Hello, Hisashi Midoriya? I am Rei Todoroki, Enji's wife." He was surprised to be called by the 14th pro hero and wife of the 2nd.
"Oh? What can I do for you?" He asked curious about what this was about.
"My husband and I would like to speak with you in person as soon as possible. Nezu told us some things and we wanted to discuss them with you." She said and he got tense for a second, thinking about what the principal said to the couple.
"Sure, if today is okay for you both, then please come to the Kendo dojo." He answers looking at Melissa destroying another golem.
"Excellent, we will be there in half-hour. See you soon." She answers in a more happy tone.
"Okay, see you both soon." He answers finishing the call. "I knew you were going to call them Nezu." He got a smile on his face since he couldn't wait to see Enji seeing so many pros in one place.
"Everything okay uncle?" He sees Melissa looking at him curious about why he was smiling.
"Yeah, I will just go to the kitchen for a little, you can rest while I am there." He then goes to talk with his wife that they will probably need two more plates.
After a few minutes the kids took a bath, they saw the car park and the couple coming in civil clothes. To say the kids were surprised and excited to see a couple of pro heroes wasn't making justice.
"It's been a while Hisashi." Enji said while offering his hand to Hisashi.
"Enji! Rei! Is good to see you both so well, How're the kids?" He took the man's hand with a big smile on his face.
"They are well, Toya will take the UA exam so he can start next year." Rei answers with a small bow to the man."We brought a cake so we can eat with the kids." She shows a big pink box to the man.
"Oh? Thank you, will you eat with us?" Hisashi said while showing them the table ready for everyone to eat."There's plenty so both are welcome to eat."
"If is not a problem then we accept your offer." Enji said while walking to the table to greet everyone."I admit that I am surprised to see so many pro heroes in one place and we aren't planning a raid to a group of villains." He joked and they chuckled a little.
"Good to see both outside works, but this is not something so strange. We have those reunions every weekend, we talk, laugh, and just forget work to have fun." Inko said offering her hand to Rei.
"That's good, and your kids seem to be friends too," Rei said after taking Inko's hand.
"C-Can I get your autograph please Miss Blizzard?" They look down to see Izuku with his notebook in hand."Y-Y-Yours too Endeavor Sir?" The boy looks at the huge man with expectation and slight fear.
The other adults started laughing at the sight, Izuku would always do that when meeting a hero.
"Sure? I admit I wasn't expecting someone to ask me since I am not in the top 10." She grabs the notebook and sees that the page open has a small profile about her. "You did this?" He nods a little embarrassed. "Good analyses." She smiles while signing the book to the boy.
"Thank you!" Izuku then turns to Enji and shily open the book on his page."C-can I get yours too?" The adults knew most kids wouldn't try to approach Enji since he always was too serious, but Izuku wasn't like the other kids.
The man just smirks and gets the notebook, as his wife, sees the analysis and can't help but laugh at the boy's comments on how cool his flaming beard was.
"I must admit he has some interesting ideas here, he got my strong and weak points well." He then looks to the boy with a rare smile on his face."When you are confidant enough, come fight me, I want to see how you will explore those things in a fight." He then signs the book and gives it back to the boy.
"Thank you sir, I would love to spar with you." He then goes to sit at the kids' table.
"Enji! Is good to see you outside work for a change." Toshinori said walking to the man that was his rival for the place as number one.
"So it is true, I couldn't believe when Nezu said you even took days off to be with them." Enji said looking at Toshinori.
The other kids then went to ask for autographs too, which both adults signed. Enji and Rei greet the other adults in a more casual situation, they worked together before so it wasn't needed to do it again. They sit at the table and after servicing themselves they decided to talk about the reason they were there.
"So Hisashi, I am sorry for coming here on such short notice, but it was needed since Nezu called us last week." Enji wanted to get this out of the way as soon as he could.
"I knew He would call you at some point, A pity he has so much work to do today, otherwise he would have called you here and would be talking with us now," Hisashi said drinking his beer.
"So Nezu come to those reunions too? You guys are indeed an interesting group." Rei said while looking at Kaina that just smiled.
"We are like a big family, besides the kids get along so well that it's impossible for us to not go in each other house all the time," Mitsuki said before eating her pasta.
"We make sure to have time to train the kids, but we also like to have fun with them." Samantha said while passing her husband his plate.
"You should bring your kids next time Rei, training with friends make them stronger," Isolte said before cutting and eating a meatball.
"I would like that, how about next weekend?" Rei asked looking at them.
"Sure, bring all your kids, we can enjoy some drinks while they play." Jun said after drinking his beer.
"If we have barbeque we can use Enji to grill the meat faster while Rei cools the drinks." Mirai joked and they laughed, even Enji admit that this was fun, but he still needs to solve the issue Nezu talked about with them.
"As fun as this is, I am still waiting for your explanation Hisashi." Enji said while looking at the man. "Why Nezu said that we must help you against the Association?" His tone was serious, not as Enji, but as Endeavor.
"You know what we did so Kaina could be free right?" Hisashi sees Enji nods."The system is fucked, it cut a hand to save the arm. The Association is corrupt to its core, innocent people are killed or put in jail. Some groups benefit from those situations, saving Kaina made them cut the hand so we are doing what we can to find the rest of the body." Hisashi explained while looking at the couple.
"So you are fighting the whole Association to destroy the corruption there?" Rei asked with a surprised expression on her face.
"Human traffic, homicide, drugs, prostitution, choose one. They are involved, no villain can escape for too long without paying them when they aren't useful anymore, heroes receive some tips to where attack." Kaina said while looking down. "I know because I killed many for them."
"They wanted me to be their hitman when I got my quirk, I refused, they decided that I was an enemy. Many assassins were sent to kill me, but I got help, made deals, even killed some of them." Hisashi got a frown on his face, but he felt Inko's hand on his shoulder.
"I see, Nezu told me some things, but I want to know everything. So tell us Hisashi, what you plan to do? I won't say that we will help you until I hear everything." Rei said while looking more seriously at the man.
"It will take a while," Hisashi said while looking at her.
"We have time, tell us your true quirk, your past with the Association, what you plan to do from now on, etc."
Hisashi then told them about his quirk, but not everything that it does, they haven't revealed about One for All since this was now Melissa's decision, but since Nezu asked for their help, he would trust his judgment, that doesn't mean he will reveal everything to them.
The other adults saw that he didn't trust them fully so they decided to follow him, Kaina told them about some works she did for the Association and what happened when she said she was quitting.
It was night and they were all drinking coffee while the kids played in Itsuka room.
"That's a lot of things to think about, I know you still haven't told us everything, but I don't blame you, is not like you will just trust us." Enji said while drinking his coffee."Okay, count me in." He said looking at Hisashi.
"Me too, I don't want to be in the dark anymore." She said determined to help."You don't need to reveal everything right away, we can earn your trust, and then you decided when you want to tell us."
"Thank you both for understanding, I hope we get along well." He said looking at the couple."Next weekend bring your kids, they will get along well." He said smiling.
"Will do!" Rei then looks to her watch and sees that it was already late."We must go now, it's late and I think Toya will want to be free from babysitting his brothers and sister." She said getting up.
"Indeed, he still has to study for his tests." Enji said preparing to leave."See you all at work." He said with a small bow.
"Don't need to be only at work, you can come to talk with us just for fun you know?" David said while looking to the pro.
"Yeah, we are all friends here. No need to be so formal." James said while looking at the couple.
"Okay then, I hope we can do this more often then. The food was delicious." Rei said while looking at them, after saying goodbye they went to the car and left the place.
"Friends huh? That is something I am not called in a long time." Enji said while driving.
"Hisashi was hiding a lot of things, he won't trust us for a while," Rei answered looking through the car window.
"I don't blame him, I would do the same in his position." He was wondering how deep the rabbit hole goes.
"He helped us avoid a tragedy, let's at least help him protect his family." Rei can't thank him enough for what he did for them.
They would deserve his trust, and maybe discover for themselves what made him so special.
