Musutafu was not well known for it's extended green spaces, it being a flourishing city, but the small park nearby Aldera Primary School was a pleasant environment for the younger children of the city to play in during the weekends and after school. While most of the park was simply grassy space with small sprouts of shaded tree area, a small playground was nestled in the very center of the space.
A perfect playground for a very worn-out man to deposit his rowdy daughter as he rested on a bench. He rubbed his eyes as his little girl sprinted off towards the play equipment, yelling about playing hide-and-seek. He sighed but smiled at her antics. Himari was usually a rather shy girl until you got to know her, then her bright and compassionate personality would shine through. But the energy in her 6-year-old body was far more than even her pro-hero father could handle at times.
"Dad!" The blonde man turned his gaze to see his daughter waving her small hands at him. "Come play!"
"In a minute, sweetie," He promised. "Dad's gotta rest a second."
The girl deflated slightly but giggled as she shot water onto the ground with her feet, racing around like on roller skates. Her father had been shocked when her quirk first appeared, finding his little girl spewing water all over their home one day as she cried from a skinned knee. After that day her father and she had slowly realized her peculiar quirk and it's different forms, Himari's personal favorite at the moment being her liquid skating. She enjoyed the freeing feeling her quirk granted her and took pleasure in every new thing she learned.
Quiet sobs broke her from her little game, "Someone's crying."
She scanned her eyes around the playground and zeroed in on a smaller boy with dark green hair standing in front of a kneeling child as they both were slowly cornered by three other boys, "Why are you being so mean?" He whimpered at the blonde boy standing between his two friends. "You're making him cry Kacchan! If you keep on hurting him, uh...I'll uh...I'll stop you myself."
The blonde boy smirked as his two friends displayed their quirks, a large set of red bat wings and extending fingers, "Hmph. You wanna pretend to be a hero?" He slammed his fist into his other palm and the twins watched in wonder as a small explosion ignited between his hands. "You don't stand a chance without a quirk, Deku!"
The three lunged at the green-haired boy but jerked back as a wave of water whipped into the ground between the bullies and the flinching boy. The blonde boy watched in shock as the liquid from the strike faded to reveal a petite white-haired girl wearing a dark blue dress with a small puddle under her kneeling by Deku's side, rubbing her arm on the small boy's shaking shoulder as she gazed worriedly at him.
The blonde boy snarled, "Hey! Get out of the way freak!"
"Are you alright?" Himari asked the green-haired boy as she ignored the blonde. The boy gasped at her sudden appearance but nodded his head lightly, glancing at her pale violet eyes in wonder as her hand sent tingling sensations along his arm.
"Get out of the way," The winged boy hissed as the girl refused to budge.
"No," She glared at the bullies. "It's not okay to bully someone just because he doesn't have a quirk."
The blonde boy smirked and stepped back slightly, lowering his hands, "Chill out, we just need to teach him a lesson," He glanced between the two new people. "Sure you get that. Since you have a powerful quirk and all."
"You're a big meanie!" The girl spoke up as she helped the smaller boy to his feet, feeling her body start to shake slightly like jello in anger. She huffed as she narrowed her eyes and sighed as the tremors in her body slowly faded.
"Well, you're a stupid slimy girl!" The blonde boy snapped.
"I'm not slimy, blondie!" She yelled as the boy stepped closer.
"Don't call me, blondie!"
The green-haired boy called out, "Hey, we can all just relax and walk away, Kacchan."
The blonde scoffed, "Typical Deku, just baby out of a fight and have nobodies come to save you."
"Himari?" A deep male voice rang through the air moving closer to the group of children. "Are you alright?"
The girl's father stopped in front of the children and the three bullies retracted their quirks at the sight of an adult. Himari beamed at her father, giving him a bright smile while the boy she was holding onto suddenly squealed in her ear.
"You're...You're the electric hero: Blackout!" The boy cried at the blonde man. "It's an honor to meet you, Sir!"
The father smirked at the boy deafening his daughter, "Lovely to meet you all. I see you've met my daughter, Renji Himari. What are your names?"
"Midoriya Izuku!" The green-haired boy shot out.
The blonde boy huffed as his two friends awkwardly started to walk away from the apparent pro-hero, frowning as he noticed their sluggish movements, "Bakugou Katsuki."
"He was being mean to Izuchan!" Himari blurted out as she pouted at Bakugou.
"Well, he deserved it!"
The father raised his brow as the blonde boy groaned, watching closely as his little girl sized the spiky hair child up. The man watched as Bakugou lunged towards the girl and her body shifted violently as a small water whip lashed out and smashed against the blonde boy's cheek. Bakugou stumbled to the ground suddenly at the girl's attack and watched in shock as a line of water swung back into the translucent side of her body, her form solidifying as it reconnected.
"What'd you do?!" He yelled as he felt his cheek burn.
"I am very sorry. Her quirk lashes out when she's angered," Her dad vaguely explained. "Come on Himari, we're going home to have a talk about this right now."
Himari sighed but smiled at Midoriya as she walked over to her father's side, latching onto his outstretched hand before they started to make their way out of the park. The little girl paused and quickly ran back over to where the two boys were standing in confusion of the sudden events. Bakugou furrowed his brows as the girl appeared in front of him suddenly and moved close to his body, gently running her hand against his throbbing cheek.
He jerked back at her touch but frowned harder as the pain quickly fled from his body, "I don't really like hurting people, sorry."
"You'll make a weak hero like Deku over there," The green-haired boy trembled slightly as the blonde glared at him. "Sometimes you have to hurt people to win and be on top!"
"Bad people, yes," She agreed. "But you're not bad, no matter how big of a jerk you are. I can tell there's something good in you." She smiled at the pair of boys before she stood up and ran back to where her father was patiently waiting for her with a small smile on his face.
"What a weird girl," Bakugou grumbled under his breath as he watched her leave, rubbing his hand lightly on his cheek as she skipped away.
