Chapter three:

The Storm

To say starting a new teaching job at Yuuei was nerve racking would be an understatement! The morning of her first day, Toshi had already left she had woken up alone like before. Fable pouted slightly she wanted to head to work together, chat on the train ask him about her new co-workers. To her surprise, Toshi had made her some lunch with a little note attached to it:

I hope you have a grate first day of school

Your friend, Toshi

Fable grinned widely as she tucked the note inside of her wallet, god that was so cute. She could image his lanky frame bending over the table to write the note, with the pink of his tongue poking out.

THUMP

There's goes her stupid heart again, Fable huffed as she gripped her bag tightly, and left for work. The heels of her shoes clicked against the concrete. As she neared the school the young woman saw a horde of reporters. Since she wasn't a registered hero, Fable opted for a more professional look. Simple white bottom up dress shirt, a light grayish blue pencil skirt that hugged her hips nicely. A pair of gray stocking covered her legs, and on her feet, she donned some cute kitten heels. With this she hoped that she could just slip pass them and enter the school gate without catching attention.

"Uh…" she squinted slightly as she drew closer to the crowd brows furrowing together she could hear them yelling,

"GIVE US ALL MIGHT!" a female reporter yelled, "YOU KEPT HIM HIDDEN LONG ENOUGH"

Geeze, Fable sighed slightly as she shimmied her way through the crowd trying to make it to the front gates.

"Um…excuse…I'm gonna be late" the young woman grunted as she pushed passed one of the camera men. Who stopped and turned the camera towards her.

"You work at Yuuei!" a reporter shoved a mic in Fable's face "tell me how's All Might! Can you get us an interview with him?"

"Er…" Fable's eyes darted about the area, looking for a way out. Shit, what a great first day, getting trapped by reporters "does this happen every day?!" suddenly she was felt large hands hooked under her arm pits and lifted off the ground. The person held her princess style against a muscular chest.

"Hold on, Miller-san" Oh, god it was All Might! Swallowing thickly, she nodded wrapping her arms around the pro hero's neck. Before she knew it, the reporters were getting smaller before they completely disappeared as they landed over the wall.

"Oh…wow" she gasped as the man set her down, Fable could still hear the reporters yelling from the other side of the wall, "t-thank you, All Might" she bowed slightly.

"Oh, no need for your thanks Miller-san" Toshi smiled down at her "I'm just happy to be assistant to you"

"Yes, but still…I would have been late if it wasn't for you" Fable laughed softly as she played with one of her kinky curls, "you've helped so much already…so…uh…I'll see you later today then" her smile grew wider. Bowing again before running to the school just before the first bell rang.

She had no idea under that smile the man before her, was trying his best to not ogle at her. On her way inside of the school.

"WHY DID SHE HAVE TO WEAR SUCH A SAUCY OUTFIT!"

"Al'right this dame is here help ya' with your English, ya' hear" Present Mic introduced Fable to her first class of the day.

"Hello, nice to meet you class 1-A" she smiled back at them, fighting back the butterflies taking up residence in her stomach, "I hope we'll have a productive year"

This first class she just sat out and observed how the hero taught, she could see why Principle Nezu asked her to sit in and assist in this class. Present Mic was a good teacher, but his students are practically falling asleep at their desk. Crossing her legs, she places her note book on them before taking notes…on how to make this course more entertaining.

After all Principle Nezu did say this class was going to the states in a few months, they need all the practice that they could get. Some students were falling asleep at their desk, others weren't even paying attention to the class. She'll have to speak to Present Mic, about inciting an English only rule for this class. In her old class she found by forcing the students to speak the language they'll end up learning it faster. Fable jolted that down in her notebook and circle it multiple times.

"There you are!" Fable felt arms wrapped around her from the behind, the smaller woman froze. Holding her lunch from Toshi tightly in her hands, all she wanted was to find a quiet place to eat!

"M-Midnight" Fable forced herself to turn towards toward the Pro-Hero, Fable saw this controversial Hero on the news a lot.

"Call me Nemuri" Nemuri, winked at the younger woman who just nodded blankly "I'm so happy that's there's another girl here"

"But isn't there Recovery Girl" Fable tilted her head slightly thinking about the nice older woman.

"Let me rephrase myself" Nemuri sighed "a girl closer to my age" Fable was sure she was going to be blinded by the taller female's smile.

"O-oh!" the darker skinned woman's eyes widen a bit "I see…um my name is Miller Fable"

"I know who you are~" Nemuri smirked, Fable didn't like that smirk one bit "let's have lunch together"

"Um…huh?" it was already too late, Nemuri was already dragging the younger woman down the opposite end of the hall. Unknown to them, Toshi was standing at the other end of the hallway, holding his matching lunch box.

There's always next time.

Fable held up her Hero costume as tears prickled in the corners of her eyes. They had shipped it here and on top of that, upgraded it! And she wasn't even a pro anymore, she was just an assistant teacher. The dark-haired woman would have been just as happy to wear a student's gym uniform for the afternoon class.

She's must thank Principal Nezu personally now. It wasn't flashy or anything…nothing eye catching like some heroes. The suit was made up of three parts, her dark blue leotard with a simple transparent skirt, white stockings, and a pair of versatile ballet slippers. Simple. Just the way she likes it.

Hands shaking Fable didn't want to put on her old suit, it would bring back so many good memories. But she has a class to teach…with the one and only All Might. At that, her stomach did a flip.

"Stop it…first Toshi and now All Might…stop thirsting, girl" Fable scolded herself. The class was going to start soon, bouncing on balls of her feet she went to change.

Fable entered the meeting area for the class to start, All Might have said the class was going to be about brute force this lesson. Fable cracked her knuckles, maybe she'll do a demonstration today, she knew the students were curious about her quirk. One even questioned if she had one, that boy was nothing but an angry chihuahua with a pretty impressive quirk.

"MILLER-SAN!" All Might waved, at the young woman, he was standing at the entrance of the enclosure, "you look so COOL!"

Flop.

"Hey, All Might", Fable cursed her stomach while she jogged over to the older man, she gave him respectful bow before standing next to him, "Oh, umm thank you! This is so great! I get to teach a class with one of the best!" She grinned cheek to cheek "I have to warn you…I might be a bit rusty". The younger woman rubbed the back of her head.

"Don't worry this is an easy lesson, HA HA" the pro Hero's laughter boomed loudly, Fable was sure she could feel it in her bones.

"Well, if you say so All Might" the shorter teacher places on hands on her hips.

"You know what would be even cooler" the Hero's smile grew wider as Fable tilted her head.

"What?" she folded her arms over her chest as a thick eyebrow rose slightly, watching the number one hero lower to his knees.

"You, riding on top of All Might" the number one Hero said with such a straight face, Fable didn't know if to laugh or cringe.

"Wait…what?" without another word, All Might have lifted the young woman up and placed her on his broad shoulders, "oh gosh" she latched on to anything she could.

"Don't fret Miller-san I got you" All Might place his large hand on her thigh in an attempt to keep her safe. And pulled himself up to his full height.

Just when Fable was about to open her mouth to complain, the students had entered the area.

"Miller-Sensei!" Ochaco waved excitedly "I didn't know you were going to teach this class too!"

"Hello, Uraraka" Fable smiled softly down her students, violet eyes scan over the varies of hero costumes, "you guys look so awesome" Fable gave the students a thumb up.

"So, do you" the brunette grinned returning the thumb up.

"Does this mean we'll get to see your quirk?" the freckled boy asked.

"Well, yes" Fable nodded as she drummed her fingers along All Might's shoulder. A sudden scream of anger erupted from the group when the angry Chihuahua came rushing at the pair. Well mostly her, with a flick of a wrist a pillar of water not only separated the teenager from the adults; but a limb emerged from pillar to engulf his whole arm. An audible gasp came from the following class.

"All Might, please set me down" she politely asked before the hero obeyed.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? What kind of false hero are you" Katsuki yelled trying to yank his hand way, as it turns out there was a body that stepped out of the pillar, "just because you dressed the part, doesn't mean shit!"

"My quirk" Fable stated, "it's written down as water creation...but I can adsorb the moister from anything living thing…so I call it water mutilation"

The teen's eyes darted down at the water figure then back at her. Fable watched the young man in front of her closely before another pillar of water blocked his right hook and effectively holding it in place.

"H-How did you" the boy's growled trying to yank his limb free from its prison. The class watched in amazement as she took down Bakugo so easily. Even Toshi had to reconsidered what he said to Principal Nezu, he was underestimating this girl.

"I trained at hero school, just like Yuuei became a Pro Hero in college" the dark-haired clicked her tongue, "and little hot headed chihuahuas, like you, should show your elder's respect". The ex-hero huffed as the body of water she created engulfed the ash-blonde's body up to his chin.

"You were an ex hero sensei!" the majority of the class exclaimed in excitement.

"DIDN'T YOU HEAR THAT SHE COULD DRAIN US LIKE A HUSK!" one student that sounded a lot like Minoru screamed.

"All right enough of that" Fable completely ignored the class "let's get this party started!" Fable continued to laugh "isn't that right, All Might?"

The female turns towards her partner, grin stretching across her face rivaling the number one hero's trademark smile. Who was in shock, Toshi had no idea that she was a hero or that her quirk was so powerful.

The days had turned into weeks and weeks into a month she was still looking for a new place to stay. Fable had a few places to check out this weekend, soon she could be out Toshi's hair. She had already been repacking on the occasion that someone says that she can move ASAP. Over the past couple of weeks, Fable hasn't been feeling too hot lately.

Fable groaned as she leaned against the school wall, it was about lunch maybe she should lay down for a bit. Looking down at the lunch box in hand she smiled, Toshi was still feeding her! It was routine by now he'll wake up early to make his lunch and leaves one for her.

"Fable-chan~" Nemuri jogged towards the younger woman, this was also routine. Sharing lunch with Midnight and sometimes Toshi when he's not busy.

"Hey Riri-chan" Fable put on a brave face and greeted her friend, but got she didn't feel so good, "can we go to the lady's room first?"

"Uh…" Nemuri blinked "oh sure I can't wait to see what you brought today"

The pair entered the washroom, Fable rushed over to one of the stalls falling to her knees and started hacking over the bowl. Nothing came out, maybe it was food poisoning she doubted that.

"Fable-chan…are you okay in there?" she could hear the worry in Nemuri's voice.

"Yea, don't worry Riri-chan" Fable leaned against the stall, looking up at the tile she counted them. Heh, what a weird pattern every 31st tile one was tinted a light pink. Fable closed her eyes with a groan.

Wait.

Every 31st…she had always had an irregular cycle; every two months for a fact. When was the last time she had a cycle? The month before she was kicked out? Yeah, that sounds about right…and this is the second month…and it was ending.

No red river.

"Shit…" Fable whispered to herself "SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" Fable started to shake violently.

"Fable-chan?" Nemuri knocked against stall door "are you okay?"

"Y-y-yes" Fable gripped the front of her dress shirt, her breathing started to get heavier. Her vision grew wet and blurry, this shouldn't be happening. Crap, maybe it's a mistake. Yes. This is a fucking mistake. Covering her face, the younger woman bawled into her hands, snot and tears mixing together. She cried so much that small hiccups escaped her small from, rolling up a towel paper Fabler cleaned off her face. She has to know, after all this can be a mistake it has to be.

"Riri-chan…" she opened the stall door slightly "c-can we see Recovery Girl?"

"Oh god I'm so excited for you…" Nemuri's words faded into the background as violet eyes stared down at the stick. It was mocking her with its pink plus sign, this was the third one she took throughout the lunch break. Fable's eyes narrowed as she growled lightly, Nemuri might think this is a joyous occasion. While in fact she was in hell, she's going to have to tell Toshi…how could she? How could this happen, well she knew how it happened…but why.

"I didn't know you were in a relationship" Nemuri sat down next to the younger woman, "was it kinky?" the blue-eyed woman licked her lips.

"Uh…" Fable's face grew hot as she quickly looked away from Nemuri

"Oh, come on I was just kidding" the older woman pats her on the back, "so when are you going to tell him?"

"Miller-san I heard you were in the infirmary!" All Might, squeezed himself through the door "I came as soon as I could…is everything alright" the hero gave a soft smile as he tapped his fingers together.

"She's better than alright Fable here is gonna be a mother!" Nemuri squealed, while she shook her friend.

"Uh…um…it might be a mistake…after all I'll have to see my doctor to confirm it" Fable said blankly still staring down at the plus sign. Recovery Girl shuffled over to Fable and placed her hand on the younger woman's thigh.

"Miller-san is right Midnight, I recommend that she is to visit her doctor as soon as possible" the elder looked over at All Might seeing the color drain from his face, "so until we have a proper answer I don't think she's fit to teach class with you"
