Katrina breathed in deeply then slowly released it. Shouta asked for Togata to watch the twins while I visit the classes I'm 'parenting'. Katrina gave a light knock too Class 1-B's door. Vlad's deep voice granted her entry, "You can come in now, Katrina."
Her lithe fingers gripped the door sliding it open. Curious eyes fell upon her. Katrina slid the door closed behind her and gave a small smile to Vlad, "Thanks Vlad for allowing me to come by."
Vlad gave a short nod. His arms crossed over his broad chest. Her husband was able to tell the homeroom teacher of class 1-B that she was going to not have the children with her. Katrina moved towards the front of Vlad's desk and leaned against it. Her arms crossed over her chest. She breathed deeply in then out, "Alright. So I'm hoping you lot remember me from the second semester opening assembly. Name's Saving Grace or you can call me Miss Katrina. I'm technically off duty of being a pro hero till I am able so it would be best if you call me Miss Katrina or Katrina."
Her grey eyes scanned the students seated. Each of their student files mentally popped up in her mind. She made sure the night prior she would know everyone. A blond, Neito Monoma, stood up planting his hands on his desk, "You're affiliated with Class 1-A, aren't you?"
Katrina tilted her head towards Vlad. Vlad let out a sigh. Katrina released her arms then perched her hands behind her. Katrina answered, "I'm affiliated with them as much I am with classes B thru E. I do not have any hand with their training. That's more on Mr. Aizawa's turf. Like Principal Nezu announced to everyone I am basically your mother away from home."
Monoma slowly sat back down. Katrina continued, "As I told Class 1-A, I will not cook or clean for you. I already have to do that for my own home. And a friendly reminder, if any selfish wounds happen to appear, I will not heal you."
A ginger haired girl raised her hand. Katrina gave an upward nod towards the girl. She stood up, "My name is Itsuka Kendo. I have a question."
Katrina smiled, "Shoot."
Kendo asked, "What is your quirk?"
Katrina let out a bored sigh, "Since I have no way of showing, I can only talk about it. My quirk is Wound and Pain transferal. Say for example, your teacher here got a massive wound to his abdomen and he's dying. I come and just give the lightest touch to him. I am able to take either all of his wound and pain making him brand spankin' new whereas I would be in the same situation as he was moments before. Not particularly the same as I could spread out the wound and pain all over my body."
Katrina pushed herself off of Vlad's desk. She held up a finger, "But I am able to do the same if the wound is on me. I can give my wounds and pain to anyone else which is great for offense. Does that answer your question?"
Kendo nodded. As she was sitting down a grey haired boy stood up. Katrina's brows raised, "Yes?"
The teen started, "Name's TetsuTetsu TetsuTetsu. If you could take a wound as if it was a killer blow, how would you sustain it?"
Katrina chuckled, "As you said if I were to get that killer blow, well I wouldn't. I would more likely die versus if Vlad would kept it longer."
Katrina moved her arms in front of her. She moved them side to side before moving her right hand to her face. She clenched and unclenched her fist, "Luckily, I have some traces of health regenerative quirk. It's not much but enough for me being able to use a health regenerative support pills. It boosts my already existing ability if that were to be qualify as an actual secondary quirk. So if I didn't have those, yes I'd be dead. Simple as that. Pretty unlucky for a healing quirk user to not have a reliable health regenerative quirk."
Katrina turned to Vlad, "I've seen you have an American in your class."
Vlad gave a gruff nod, "Yes."
Katrina's smile broadened switching to English for one student, "Pony, am I right?"
The blond girl perked up when she heard English. Pony Tsunotori nodded, "That's me."
Her fellow Japanese students blinked at the sudden English. Vlad let out a sigh. Katrina clapped her hands together, "If you need any help with your Japanese, I can definitely help you. I was in your spot before."
The older woman could see the smile on the girl's face. She nodded quickly, "That would be great!"
Katrina offered, "If you want, you can come by my dorm room. It's 34B. If not then, I can definitely come by Class 1-B's dorm building."
Pony answered quickly, "Class 1-B, please!"
Katrina gave her a thumbs up, "Got it!"
The older woman switched to Japanese, "Alright, if I hear any of you give that girl any phrases that are inappropriate, well let's just say it won't be fun for you but it'll be fun for me. I promise."
Her smile was similar to Aizawa's. Vlad mumbled, "I can't run away from him, it seems."
Katrina laughed, "It rubs off on you. I mean they're starting to copy him to the 'T'. It's scary. I'm outnumbered."
Vlad rubbed his temple, "Don't you have to go see the other classes as well?"
Katrina snapped her fingers, "Ah, that's right. Well it's nice meeting everyone and like I said any punishment for me would be fun for me but not for you!"
Katrina waved to the student body making her exit.
Katrina pursed her lips. She glanced to her right. Similar grey eyes stared into her own. The infant had their mother's sleeve bundled into her mouth. Katrina mumbled to her youngest, "You like to cause trouble for others, huh?"
The infant pulled out the bundled cloth. Traces of slobber connected between the two. Katrina bent her head down kissing the top of the infant's head. Her words mumbled against the babe's soft hair, "It's not your fault you are teething."
Katrina adjusted the little on on her hip before knocking on the door. A voice of the homeroom teacher of Class 1-C answered, "Come in."
Katrina slid the door open entering the room. Curious eyes appeared. Katrina gave a small wave, "Hi guys! Name's Katrina or Saving Grace from when Nezu announced me to everyone."
A familiar purple eyes drawn themselves to the infant attached by the hip. Katrina started, "Let's get this started as I have other classes to talk with. Before anyone asks, my quirk is Wound and Pain transfer-."
Katrina's eyes flickered to her daughter who stared up at her. Katrina held up the baby who replaced the sleeve with her fist. She exclaimed, "I can take your pain away! Why didn't I think of this sooner? We can have sleep again. By god, I wish I thought of this sooner. All of those hours-."
A clear of throat stopped her rambling, "Saving Grace."
Katrina laughed nervously, "Sorry. I'll get on with it."
Katrina continued her explanation, "As I was saying, it's Wound and Pain transferal. I can take and give wounds and pain. To help me heal, I use health regenerative pills. I can actually give a demonstration."
The mother of two held her daughter in front of her, "Exhibit A, this one has teeth coming in. Teething babies cry, scream and won't let you sleep. If they're in pain so are you. Anyways, I can simply activate my quirk since I have contact with her."
Katrina felt the immense wave of pain shooting through her pinky and ring finger. Julieanne was soon clapping her hands in a carefree way. Katrina breathed out, "So glad that worked."
The auburn haired woman placed the child back on her side. She moved her pained hand to her other. Her unharmed fingers massaged her pained fingers, "Just like that I can take it. I can take all wounds unless you know you're dead then that's past the point of me being able to heal. I can transfer the wound and pain and disperse it to any part of my body. Any questions?"
None of them raised their hand. Katrina let out a breath, "Well anyways I am here to introduce myself to you lot. I am basically your mom away from home. Come to me for anything under the scope other than cook and cleaning. That's all on you. You're almost adults, you can do it."
Since Julieanne's pain disappeared, the babe found someone who perked her interest when she first saw him. Julieanne held out her hands forward towards a familiar purplette. Katrina lightly scolded her child, "Not now. We are going to start on your you can't have everything lesson."
Katrina moved the infant to her other hip. Katrina's eyes met the one Julieanne took interest in. Hitoshi Shinso, the one student Shouta took an interest in for internships, felt his mentor's children didn't care what quirk he had. They still approached him with interest and accepted him. Shinso could say the same for his mentor and the woman who stood in front of his class. Katrina cleared her throat, "Since there are no questions, I'm going to head out."
The homeroom teacher of Class 1-C gave a slow clap, "There we go. Now we can continue onto our lesson."
Katrina headed out right as the bell signaled lunch time. Katrina let out a breath, "I guess we have to see the other classes after lunch."
She didn't go far from the classroom of 1-C as the students of General Studies rushed out. A purplette shoved his hands in his pockets walking at her pace. Julieanne poured her body weight towards the teen who quickly place his hands underneath her arms. He was afraid the girl would fall. Katrina allowed her daughter go into the teen's arms. Julieanne's hands went to Shinso's purple hair and played around with it. Katrina rubbed her temples, "We are trying to unspoil her. It seems to not be working."
The teen's half-closed eyes stared at the infant's grey eyes. Katrina glanced up at the tall teen, "I was going to head to Shouta if you like to join."
Shinso tore his gaze away from the baby to his mentor's wife. Shinso nodded, "If you don't mind."
Katrina's smile graced her lips. Her arm wrapped around the boy's biceps instead of his shoulders, "Of course I don't mind! For all the years he has been teaching, he never really took an interest in a student before. I could see why he would with you! You're so sweet and just like him."
The woman noticed a familiar black haired teacher in the distance. Shinso moved the child to his shoulders since she kept playing with his hair. She waved her hand towards him, "Shou! I brought some guests with me!"
Shouta Aizawa turned his body towards the excitable woman. Beside her was his student and child. Julieanne pushed down the purplette's hair seeing her father. An excitable noise came from her, "Mmmpaaaa."
Julieanne started again, "Mmm paaapaa!"
Shinso never seen his mentor's eyes widened. Katrina looked between her husband and child. Katrina squealed, "Oh! She said her first word!"
Shinso removed the girl from his shoulders who kept bouncing up and down. Julieanne was transferred to her father's arms. Katrina lightly tapped the teen's shoulder, "Can you believe it?"
Julieanne gripped onto her father's scarf. She squealed repeating herself, "Papaaa! Paapaa!"
Shinso tore his attention away from his teacher to the woman beside him. She sniffled, "I'm probably missing out on my osn's first word. Normally the two are right after the other if not the same time. It's just a huge moment to know my babies are growing up."
Shouta looked down at his daughter who was smiling big. Hidden from view by his daughter playing with his scarf, he smiled softly at his daughter. He bent down to her face and gave her an Eskimo kiss on her nose. Shouta whispered softly, "I'm proud of you, Juls."
Katrina smiled an all-knowing smile. Katrina piped up, "This called for a celebration, am I right?"
Shinso ran his hand through his gravity defying hair, "I think so?"
Katrina chuckled, "Wait till you have children if you want any that is. Anyways, let's go have lunch."
On the way to the teacher's lounge with the couch, Katrina reminded the teen, "Don't forget training is at 06:00 tomorrow."
Shinso mentally groaned at the thought of waking up early. He wouldn't complain outwardly considering his mentor is Eraserhead, homeroom teacher of Class 1-A. Purple eyes slid over to the back of his mentor. He should be thankful for the man in dedicating his time with him. The man is giving him a chance to be a hero. Katrina bumped her shoulder into the teen's bicep, "You know, this is the first time I've seen Shouta take in a student in all the years he has been teaching. You must be someone special and from what I've seen at the festival and Shouta's little reports you are someone special with a ton of potential. Just keep up with the training. The scarf is a tricky prop to get a handle on."
Shouta opened the door drawling out, "Are you done?"
Katrina chuckled, "Oh no. I'm never done. Anyways, I brought three bentos today in case we have an extra person in the party which we do. I hope you like Katsudon, Shinso-san."
Shinso gave a nod. Shouta disappeared to the actual teacher lounge to retrieve the bentos. Katrina sat down on the chair across the couch. Shinso took a seat on the couch. Katrina's eyes sparkled, "So tell me how training is? Like I said his reports are small. I mean very small."
Shinso rubbed his neck with a nervous smile, "It's been great. The scarf, like you said, is tricky."
Katrina leaned back in her chair, "I took an interest with the scarf. I used to steal his and whenever he found me I looked like a ball of yarn. After a few times of finding me like that, he asked for my reasoning for learning it then decided to help me with it."
Shinso asked right as Shouta returned with the three bentos, "What was your reasoning?"
Shouta placed Julieanne inbetween him and Shinso. In her mouth was her neckerchief to keep her occupied. Katrina reached for a bento popping off the top. She answered, "Easy. I wanted my enemy closer. My quirk can be used in offense if needed. I don't want to skip towards the enemy on enemy lines. I rather subdue and bring them to my side of the battle to touch them. By then I would have a wound enough to hinder their movement or ability."
Shouta popped a piece of cutlet in his mouth. He stayed quiet as he listened to his wife and student talk. Shinso nibbled on his food. Katrina clicked her tongue, "I nearly forgot. Shouta, I forgot I could take the children's pain away when they are teething. Now we can sleep and have no fussy babies. Just drooly babies."
Shinso noticed his teacher paused in bringing the small cluster of rice to his mouth. Shouta responded, "Oh."
Shinso couldn't stop the sigh coming from his mouth. His teacher forgot his wife's quirk and the ability to take pain away. Katrina tapped her fork lightly on her bento, "I hope Youta isn't giving Togata-san any trouble. He only gave me Julieanne due to her incessant crying due to pain."
Shouta mumbled, "I highly doubt he is giving trouble."
Togata held the drooling boy on his lap. He rocked back and forth in the chair. In his hands were a children's book. Youta smacked the book to gesture to the duck. Togata felt his shoulders release some tension, "Yeah, Youta that's a duck! It goes quack."
Togata was not sure how the two parents were able to handle both of the babies at the same time. When they told him that morning if any of them were causing trouble, he could bring one or both of them to either parent. He didn't expect to break. He had to find their mother to give the girl to her. He tried everything they recommended to him. Togata was able to see the little tooth peeking through Julieanne's gum line. She was refusing any food or toy. Julieanne kept crying whereas Youta was sleeping soundly in his crib. Togata gave props to the older twin for being able to ignore his sister's wails. Youta had a hand on his bottle but the bottle was mainly propped up by a small pillow. Togata turned the page, "A pig goes... Oink oink oink!"
Youta gurgled in excitement. Next time, Togata will be able to tackle his biggest challenge yet currently... That's being able to handle Julieanne.
