Katrina laced her fingers through the little white haired girl's hair to fix it up for the day. Eri was lightly playing with Julieanne's hair poof. Julieanne was sitting patiently in front of Eri who was sucking on a cold fruit ice pop. Surprisingly, All Might offered to hold Youta who was currently sucking on his own fruit pop. Katrina was not paying attention visually to the television but her ears kept open to the news. The new number one hero was fighting a new type of Nomu. Newly made number two hero was with him and seem to be evacuating the area. Katrina felt her throat tighten as a thought of her own parents who were killed helping civilians back in America.
A small ten year old girl's fists tightened around the metal barrier set up by the police. Fifteen minutes before, the little family were strolling till they heard screams coming from a burning fire caused by a pyro-villain. The man and woman left their child in the hands of police to run to the scene to help with any burnt and hurt civilians. Katrina could feel her heart beat faster when more chaos ensued. The pyro-villain came around with another villain who could transform into an ox. In order to protect the civilians, Katrina's father, with his health regeneration, blocked each blow coming from the raging ox. Katrina couldn't look away but she very much wanted to. She couldn't believe her eyes seeing the ox who was persistent on harming someone who wanted to help people. Katrina's father, Yota, didn't have abnormal human strength. He couldn't keep holding onto the ox's horns and push it away but he knew he could keep its sights on him while his wife take care of the civilians. Other pro-heroes were doing the same on evacuating the hurt civilians. Without feeling it, Katrina already had tears well up in her eyes. When she tried to call out to her dad, it seemed her voice was unheard and died out.
"Yota! All of the civilians-."
Behind Katrina's mother, Aimi was a villain who had spears for arms. Katrina's voice sounded strangled but it came out, "M-mom!"
Blood dripped out of her mother's mouth. Her grey eyes looked across the scene seeing her daughter openly crying. These were times she wished she could hear her mother's words with sensitive hearing. Katrina felt heavy hands gripping her biceps as she unknowingly tried to get over the barrier and into the scene.
"Make sure the girl doesn't get to the scene! It's still dangerous here!"
Yota tried to use his non-existent strength to push the ox's horns away but his muscles grew weak and caused him to falter. He tried to move fast enough but muscle strain caused him to freeze. The ox blew air threw his nose and ram straight through the man. Katrina called out while trying to fight to get out of the police and some pro-hero's grip, "Daddy!"
The ox horn removed its pointed end from the severely injured man. Katrina already felt it in her gut both of her parents were gone. The pyo-villain broadcast his will, "We will take down any and every hero no matter what the cost. One by one! Heroes shall perish."
Katrina felt her legs fall weak and dropped to the ground. Tears flowed down soaking her sundress her mother picked out for her that morning.
Shouta stood up from his seat on the couch, "Kat take the children to the room. I'm going to Todoroki."
Katrina removed her eyes from the little girl's hair to look at her husband. He paused in his walk, "Alright. You guys watch them take them back to the room."
Katrina lightly tapped Eri on her head, "Eri, see if Thirteen or Mic can give a better hair style for you. Tell them what you would like and then judge who has a better style. How fun does that sound?"
Eri tilted her head so she was looking at Katrina upside down. Eri puffed her cheeks, "But no one would know what I want."
Katrina lightly tapped the girl's nose, "You won't know if you don't ask and try. Show them your arsenal of hair accessories. Also I'll put you on keep Mic away from the cookies we made yesterday duty."
Eri's face grew with determination and stood up. The little girl tried picking up the 8 almost 9 month old infant but Julieanne's feet were still touching the ground. Julieanne started to bounce up and down. Katrina had to grab Julieanne quickly, "Woah there. Let's give you to Thirteen, huh?"
Katrina looked up from the rescue hero who happily took the infant to All Might. All Might nodded at the head gesture to give Youta to Mic. Katrina stood up from her spot and pressed a hand to her husband's back to let him know she was ready to head out.
Shouta looked at his wife who took in a deep breath outside of 1-A's dorm building's doors. Shouta asked, "You okay?"
Katrina let out the deep breath, "Peachy. These League of Villains are starting to piss me off."
Shouta lightly rubbed his wife's back, "Aren't we all?"
Katrina took in one more deep breath before resting her hand on the door handle, "Yeah but I'm always pissed at villains who just want to bring down heroes."
Shouta pointed out, "Shouldn't you be mad at all villains?"
Katrina bounced her head lightly side to side, "Yes, I am like any normal person or hero. I just have more reserved for those type of villains. They're the ones who made me into an orphan. I watched my parents die in front of me and I couldn't do anything about it. I am sure that is a similar feeling for Todoroki-san watching helplessly at the screen while his father fight villains. Different story but same feeling."
Katrina pulled the door open. Both adults could see the students surrounded the television. Todoroki stood towards the back. Shouta asked the two colored haired student, "Todoroki, so you already saw everything?"
Katrina slowly walked into the lounge for 1-A. Her hand above her heart to try to calm it. Katrina needed to be strong for a student of hers. She needed to be strong and swallow any memory that would surface. Katrina didn't want to watch the television. She kept her eyes on the teen. Shouta glanced at the television seeing Endeavor, barely standing, with his fist up in the air. Katrina acted fast when she noticed the teen's legs started to buckle. Her hand lightly rubbed the teen's back as he crouched with his hands in front of his face. His eyes closed. Katrina softly spoke loud enough for the boy to hear, "He's okay."
The newscaster's voice echoed through the lounge, "It's Dabi from the League of Villains!"
Katrina didn't have time to gain her balance as the teen surprisingly shot up to stare at the television. Katrina fell on her butt. Katrina mumbled, "League of Villains are really pushing their luck, aren't they?"
The blue flames being broadcast disappeared when another hero arrived. Once the news was out Endeavor was okay and alive, Todoroki immediately snapped to his senses and turned to Katrina, "O-oh I'm so sorry."
He held out a hand and helped the older woman up. Katrina gave him a soft smile, "It's okay. I know the feeling. Trust me."
She emphasized the words 'Trust me' to get the point across to show the teen he isn't alone. Todoroki turned to Shouta, "Can I speak to you alone?"
Shouta looked at his students before nodding. He held out his hand for the teen to head outside. Shouta followed after. The students were quiet. They weren't sure what to say or do. Katrina picked up on this and gave out a suggestion, "Just be supportive of him. A good support system is always key in my books."
Yaoyozuru immediately went to the kitchen to brew some of her nice tea. Asui went to the kitchen and pulled out some snacks from the fridge. Katrina rubbed her neck, "Well I didn't mean shove it into his face but gradually do it so he wouldn't want to accept any support help."
Midoriya stayed close to the healing hero. His words made everyone pause, "This was similar to what happened to your parents, am I right, Miss Katrina?"
Katrina blinked and gave a sad smile, "Similar but not same. I was ten when it happened and they didn't survive. They were going against a pure hero-hating villain group in America while rescuing civilians from a burning building."
Katrina clapped her hands to wish away the bad energy, "Alright! Enough of that! Next week you guys have joint training, I hear. Since you'll never hear this from your teacher, I'm going to say it. Make sure you guys get plenty of rest and sleep. It's going to be a hard training session. Trust me. I know. I've been through it."
"Are you giving them hints to their training session next week?"
Katrina whirled around seeing her husband. She smiled big, "Nope! I was on the other end of that, remember? Annnd I still won, remember that?."
She winked. Suddenly the students were interested. Many questions flew out of their mouths. Shouta sternly spoke, "Enough. Get some rest and pick up your winter hero outfits tomorrow."
A collection of 'yes sirs' erupted the room. Katrina hopped towards her husband, "Let's train since this is an off day."
Shouta mumbled a 'no'. As the two adults were leaving the dorm building they kept at it. Katrina groaned, "Why not?"
Shouta scoffed, "I have to meet with Vlad to finalize the training session next week. Train with Mic."
Katrina huffed, "I know his weakness. I already applied it to him at the festival. I'm not popping that out each time."
Behind the two adults were some of class 1-A's students lurking. Ashido whispered to Kirishima, "We haven't seen her fight yet, have we?"
Kaminari shook his head whispering, "No, not yet. I kinda want to see it."
Shouta interjected, "You haven't used the cloth against him. And ask Ectoplasm to join as well. Plus didn't you say you were going to train with Mic?"
Katrina scrunched up her nose, "Yessss. I did. Okay, fine. I'll just ask Mic. I don't want to subject Ectoplasm to this monstrosity of training."
Shouta leaned down and kissed his wife's temple, "I'll be sure to drop by Ground Beta."
Katrina and Shouta broke away going different ways. The lurking students looked between the two adults. Midoriya whispered, "We better head to Ground Beta to watch."
Uraraka pointed out, "Don't we need a key to get into the monitor room?"
Midoriya thought for a moment but snapped his fingers, "I can ask All Might!"
