A/N:
Last one! Thank you!
Chapter Seventy-Six
"He'll be fine, All Might-san." Tsuna assured to the hero as he patted the greenet's curly hair. "They've just invited him."
Blue-green eyes looked at him with wide eyes. "You know?"
He smiled. "Of course I know. I experienced the same thing a lot. Our predecessors are quite fascinating when they want to." He chuckled remembering the eight bosses of Vongola visiting him when they want to. Even Primo does the same, more frequent though. "They're there to help us when we need help. Sometimes, their mistakes are our mistakes too, so we have to at least do our best to solve them for them."
"Oh Tsuna." All Might sighed. "I'm so worried."
"It will be fine." He assured before patting Izuku's feet. "Just press the button once he's awake. A lot of people will be happy to see him alive and talking."
All Might smiled and nodded. "I will, my boy."
The brunet put a hand on his teacher's shoulder and squeezed it gently as a support. "I'm going."
All Might nodded again, so he went for the door to go out.
"The Todoroki family are on their way." Reborn told him as they met and walked in the corridor.
Tsuna blinked as his mind processed what is about to happen. "Oh."
"Yup. It's either you or me." His hitman chuckled, making him roll his eyes.
"You mean me and me. You're not that close to them even if Rei-san knows how important you are to me." He huffed before passing over his clipboard. "I'll go get them."
"Try not to snap, yeah?" His tutor teased as he walked for the opposite direction where he should be going.
"No promises!" He called back.
It has been two days since the raid. Two days since he woke up. They held the fort of the hospital and saved as many people as they could, ranging from heroes to civilians. It cannot be helped that Gigantomachia is a menace with size, height, strength and speed. He destroyed a lot of cities and almost killed a lot of civilians because of his rampage.
Well, almost.
After a rest from all the surgeries they needed to do and instant healing both of them succeeded, Reborn gave him a detailed report of what happened from the Arcobaleno. With the help of Skull and Ragdoll's announcement given the information Verde relied to them during that time, they were able to keep most of the civilians out of the way when Gigantomachia came stumping in. It was quite good since Ragdoll did say the giant has one weakness and that is his master. The ones who really stopped the giants were the Hero Department students with the lead of Yaoyorozu under Nemuri's permission.
Speaking of Nemuri, the heroine hugged him to death for having Lal save her from the villains who were going to attack them. When Mic discovered that Tsuna had made Colonnello tail his Dad and the others, Mic cried and thanked him a lot. Viper only sighed as much which Tsuna chuckled at and hugged the mist with thankfulness. Without Viper, casualties would've been a lot. Fon and Gamma, as what Reborn had told him, helped the heroes do the rescue operations in the ruins. Ragdoll (thanks God for the heroine's quirk) and Verde helped them with Mandalay and Skull.
Tsuna couldn't thank the Arocbaleno enough. They risked their lives for his selfish request. Yet, all of them only smiled at him with the same gratitude.
Currently, all heroes are resting in their respective rooms. Although he's not completely a doctor and just a healer, like Reborn, they were given four people to supervise. He has his Dad, Izuku, Katsuki and Endeavor. Reborn took Hawks, Shouto, Gran Torino and Flash, a hero. Both of them were able to heal all of them, except for some few scratches that they rather heal naturally. Tsuna talked with Gran Torino, who woke up that morning, to ease the old man's worries. He did gain a smile, so it's a win. Right now, they're more worried about Izuku because he and All Might may or may not be speculating that the greenet is talking with his predecessors.
He sighed as he stepped inside the elevator and pushed for the ground floor. With how quiet the insides of the hospital, outside the establishment has so many reporters swarming in. They wanted to know things such as Endeavor's relation with Dabi, who is 'One for All' that they heard from the frequency between heroes, and more hero stuffs. To top it off, they're blaming everything to Endeavor as if he did everything. He gritted his teeth at the thought. Endeavor will have to have a conference to address the issue.
Now, the problem is Dabi. Tsuna found the villain in a hideout. His vicious storm was so surprised and relieved. Tsuna didn't really talk. Just attended the other's burn and injury. Dabi seems to get his mood since he didn't press yet thank him for the yellow and blue balls for they helped a lot. The only time he smiled was when Dabi told him that they thought they were dreaming or seeing a ghost when Twice helped them hide. When his storm asked him if he's going to visit Shigaraki, Tsuna negated. He couldn't risk it since it was obvious that All for One is using Shigaraki's body like a puppet. Before he departed though, Dabi apologized to him. He only ruffled the other's hair in response.
Stepping out, he immediately went for the entrance. His arrival was in time when a taxi pulled up by the gates. Tsuna descended the stairs as the media tried to swarm the Todoroki family who went out of the vehicle. He slicked around the police, smiling at his Uncle Naomasa, then dodged the media as Natsuo and Fuyumi assisted Rei out of the car. He was already in front and walking towards them when they looked up.
"Tsuna?" Rei voiced, utterly surprised and relieved. "You're okay!"
Tsuna chuckled as he accepted the small hug from the woman. "I take it you're okay too?"
"Not quite." Rei sighed before releasing him.
He regarded her with a pleasant smile before eyeing Natsuo and Fuyumi who were staring at him. "What? No welcome home hugs from you two?"
"Tsuna-"
"Excuse me!" A reported from behind him called out. "Missus Todoroki! What can you say about-"
"With all due respect," The brunet addressed as he turned around to see the male reporter. He put a hand on the mic and brought it down with a frigid smile. "we are trying to talk here. If you have questions, do ask them to the right people." He eyed them coldly. "And please try to polish your manners and sensitivity as well. They're rather lacking as of these days. Good day." Then he gestured for the three to follow him. "Come on."
They moved as he walked on.
"Since when did you wake up?" Fuyumi queried as the reported parted to give them a wide way for the hospital's entrance. The police gave a barricade too.
"Two days ago. Just after the raid was over. It was a good timing since Reborn and I were able to help with all the pains." He answered.
"I heard from the news that some vigilante helped with the evacuation." Natsuo started. "They used your name as a way for the heroes to follow them. They were highly praised for keeping thousands of lives from being obliterated."
Tsuna nodded. "They were acquaintances of mine. I requested for some assistance back then. I'm thankful they were here. The casualties would've been larger."
"How is your Dad, Tsuna?" Rei asked as they entered the building.
"Dad is still asleep, I think." Not that his intuition won't alert him if the man woke up or something. Everything in him is back to normal with some... Differences from his past. "He received some injuries, but nothing I can't cure."
"Midoriya-kun and Bakugou-kun?" Fuyumi asked too. He led them to the elevator.
He coughed to hide his amusement. "Katsuki has some trouble with quirk overuse and body stabbing, but he'll be fine. Same with Izuku, although he's not still waking up. Some complications, but he'll be fine. He needs the rest since he worked the hardest." He gestured them to get in. "All of their rooms are in fourth floor, by the way, for privacy and such."
"How's Shouto?" Natsuo questioned while pressing the 'three' button after the brunet got in.
"Shouto was burned." He answered honestly. He earned some flinch. "Reborn took care of it. Right now, his bandages are just for natural healing. We want the injuries to naturally heal because pushing the body to do them quickly will not produce good result."
A second passed.
"Is Dad okay?" Fuyumi inquired. "He... And Nii-san..."
"I was the one who took care of Endeavor-san." He responded, just in time for the elevator to open. He stepped out. "He has a lot of injuries. It's like I was operating his eye again. Although he's alright physically, I'm more worried for his mental and emotional health." He glanced back to the three. "If I was awake, I could've stopped Dabi from doing some dramatic entrance."
"Y-You know him?" Natsuo gaped.
Tsuna halted in front of a door and faced them. "Back when I gave Dad his space, he took me to their hideout. Even though I'm a vigilante, he took me in because I'm tolerable." He pressed his lips thin as all of their eyes were on him. "I can't say much except I suspected and I know he's Touya Todoroki. He made me promise not to tell you everything because," He raised a finger. "one, I cannot meddle with your family's problem. I could only support because Endeavor-san is my mentor, Shouto is my friend, Rei-san is like a mother to me, you two are like siblings to me, and Dabi is a good friend of mine." He lifted another finger. "Two, I know he'll come out for all of you to see him. Dabi wants to do something to Endeavor-san and Shouto, and even if I wanted to help, I know he won't like it. Dabi won't like it. And," He uncurled another finger. "three, I don't break promises."
Natsuo stared at him while Fuyumi looked stricken. Rei, however, stepped forward and took his hand. "Thank you for telling this to us, Tsuna. I know you've been dying to tell us, but knowing you, I bet you've looked out for my son in our stead."
"I actually saw him the other night." He smiled sheepishly. "He also sustained some injuries and I healed them for him. We didn't talk much since I was a little cheesed with what he did. I can't blame him. I asked if he could stop himself from hurting any of you, especially Shouto, but he couldn't promise. But all I could say is, Dabi is a good person." He squeezed Rei's hand. "And although I don't know the whole story, I know you know what could help him."
Rei smiled. "I know."
He stared at the Todoroki matriarch before eyeing the two. "I hope you could forgive Endeavor-san someday. He's changing and is trying to change. I've talked to him a lot about you four, and he really is trying to be a better man."
Natsuo looked away as Rei squeezed his hands. The third child sighed before nodding. "I'll try."
Tsuna smiled. "Thank you." He let go of Rei's hands and gestured to the door. "Shouto is inside. You'll be fine."
"Thank you, Tsuna." Fuyumi called out.
He nodded. "Always."
He didn't wait for them to get inside. He turned to the nurse station. He greeted those who greeted him and nod at him. For some reason though, the hospital welcomes him much warmer than months ago. Even Doctor Narazaki's colleague were genuine with how they interact with him. He just goes with the flow. He can't do stupid things now, can he?
"Decimo?"
Tsuna looked up from his perch to see Nurse Kana smiling at him. "Yes, Kana-san?"
"Your Dad's button has been activated ten minutes ago. Doctor Miyano is already there." The nurse informed.
He blinked before smiling back. He took the clipboard and waved a hand as he walked backwards. "Thanks. Alert me of the others too, yeah?"
Kana nodded with a thumbs up.
Tsuna immediately faced the path he's going to take to get to his Dad. He can't help smiling at that as he sends some thrum of sky flames to Reborn's link. There was a quick beat of reply that he took as 'coming'.
Caramel eyes stared at his target door even before he came close. He stood in front of it and looked at his left when Reborn stood beside him. Both nodded to each other before the hitman knocked and opened the handle for them. Tsuna stepped in, garnering all three occupants' attention. He nodded at Doctor Miyano, made eye contact with Hizashi who smiled before looking at his Dad. He inspected the man's physique. In another universe, Shouta would have a bandage on his head with his right eye covered since Shigaraki almost took that out, with his right leg cut too due to the sustained injury and the erasing quirk bullet that Chisaki made with Eri's quirk, and was obtained by Shigaraki.
He sighed internally as he walked closer, flicking a glare at his tutor who certainly knows what he's thinking with the unhidden smirk that curled on his lips. Reborn joked that his volatile storm is too gone that he's challenging Tsuna to keep him right. He dismissed the notion and told him that it's Izuku's problem. After all, storm and lightning are brothers by elements.
"T-Tsuna?" Shouta uttered, completely surprised.
He smiled as he sat at the side of the bed and took his Dad's hand and interlaced their fingers. "I'm home, Dad." He hugged his Dad when the latter pulled him. "You'll irritate your wounds."
"I'm only sore. Knowing you, you'll heal me up from head to toe, which you shouldn't do." His Dad snarked back, causing him to laugh. "Thank you so much."
Tsuna snuggled closer, nuzzling on the other's neck. "For?"
"For coming back to me. For waking up. For not staying there. For healing me." A shaky intake of breath. "Thank you."
"I'm more thankful that you're alive, Dad. I don't want to see you missing a limb just because you couldn't dodge." He hummed.
A chuckle. "You're holding a grudge."
"Since when did I don't?" Tsuna pulled back and stared at his Dad. He stared at those black eyes before moving and kissing the other's forehead. "I love you, Dad."
"Hm."
They all looked back to the door when they heard some shouting and Katsuki's name. Doctor Miyano was about to go when Tsuna sighed and asked the doctor to stay put. He excused himself as Reborn took his place to tease Shouta of hugging him too. He rolled his eyes on the two before stalking for the door.
He opened the door, causing the yelling to stop. Mineta, Satou and Katsuki looked at him as Tsuna stared at the three. He crossed his arms and raised an expectant brow at the three. Katsuki stopped struggling and stood straight like he didn't do anything wrong. Satou and Mineta looked apologetic.
He was one of those who attended the Class A when they came in. It was a mix of emotions for all of them. Shock, fear and helplessness for the situation, happiness and relief for his condition. He had assured all of them that they had done the right thing and thanked them for trusting Yaoyorozu's judgement. The lady cried. Even harder when Nemuri came in and praised her student. He also assured them that everything will be fine as long as they keep themselves okay. Reborn came by too, and as a teacher, he gave them praises that made them a little confident. For Tsuna, it was enough.
All of them were worried about their classmates' and their homeroom teacher's conditions. Given that he's staring at Katsuki who looks impeccably standing tall, it looks like he's okay.
"And where are you going, Katsuki?" He interrogated.
Red eyes stared at him before they looked down. "To Deku."
Tsuna nodded as he unfolded his arms and stepped out. "Figures." He turned to the two. "Tell the others that Aizawa-sensei is awake."
"Todoroki and Endeavor are awake too." Satou informed.
"I'll come by after I assure Katsuki that Izuku is alright." He gave a smile to ease them up. "Visit Aizawa-sensei, yeah? He's pretty worried for all of us."
The two of them watched the others go before they started to walk side by side for Izuku's room.
"Izuku is not really in coma, Katsuki." He informed, eyeing the blond at the corner of his eyes. "All Might thinks that he's not waking up because they're talking to him again."
"He called Deku his brother." The blond scowled.
He sighed, reaching out for his forehead to knead. "There was a prison break in Tartarus, according to Hitoshi. If I deduce it right, I think Shigaraki freed All for One."
"What?!"
He nodded grimly as they halted. "A lot of villains imprisoned there have escaped with them. Currently, villains are becoming more and more brazen to attack the society without any regards to the authority. Given the fact that most heroes were in the raid and some have died, leaving their jurisdiction vulnerable, it won't be long before the civilians rallies."
Katsuki went silent for a second before he raised his head to look at him. "Are you sure Deku is alright?"
"He's my lightning." He pointed out while stirring the other to the latter's direction. "I'm your sky. I'll blow up the hospital if I don't assure myself that all of you are okay."
"But shouldn't you be resting too? You woke up when?" Katsuki adamantly queried as they walked back.
"I woke just when the raid ended." He admitted. "I went straight to healing since they needed my help. I healed you, Aizawa-sensei, Izuku and Endeavor since you all were in a dire situation. I helped with our class too and some more heroes that came. I'm on pump since I'm withholding the flame drunk state from all of you. I rather you experience it when you're alright. And I rested for a month and a half, so I'm active as an electricity right now."
Katsuki scoffed, but Tsuna can see the relief in his eyes. "I'll kill you if you drop dead on us again like that."
"Roger." Then he opened the door for the blond's room. "Let's do the standard operating questions, yeah?"
"I removed my oxygen mask." His rain informed while walking for his bed.
"I know." He said nonchalantly as he went for the oxygen tank and turned it off. "The last time I checked you, you were wearing it with some fluids. You can be really reckless sometimes, Katsuki."
Katsuki growled. "Shut up."
Tsuna chuckled.
When he went out after securing the blond's condition, he ran up to some of his classmates. He greeted them with a smile and tried to cheer up Mina who was teary. All of them were on the verge of crying these days. Maybe he should talk to them one by one to keep them alright. Their mentalities are his responsibility sometimes. He can't blame himself nor others for the situation. All he could provide now is support.
"Ah. Decimo." He turned around from waving goodbye to his classmates to see Hawks and Best Jeanist. It was Jeanist who called him out. "You're awake. Forgive me for being unable to visit you during your state."
Tsuna waved off a hand as he faced them. "It's fine. At least you thought of visiting me. The thought counts." Then he turned to Hawks who is staring at him with wide eyes. "Oh right. You didn't see me the other day. Reborn was the one who healed you. We're rather competitive on who will recover first among our patients."
The blond typed on his phone and a robotic voice started to speak. "It's okay. At least you're awake."
The brunet frown before reaching out and unclasping the mask on the hero. "One second." He removed the mask and put a hand on the other's throat. With his sky flames and intuition, he located the damage. "Seems like my sun flames weren't able to heal this. Knowing Reborn, he'll want me to heal it. Wait up, I'll heal it. I found the damage."
"You're good at this." Best Jeanist commented as Tsuna activated his sun flames. "You could be a doctor if you wanted."
"I rather be a vigilante." He smiled as he massaged Hawks' neck in a gentle manner. "I could help people while on the field, instead of waiting in a building. First aid is a must in your profession. Like when Chizome and I first met. He's quite nasty when he's on the mood. I'm even wondering if he escaped. He hadn't visited me. Reborn said Dad gave him a heads up that I was in coma for the past weeks." He looked down to Hawks who has his eyes closed. He stopped the healing but kept massaging. "How's outside?"
"Less security. A lot of patrons have stopped believing in heroes." Best Jeanist sighed before raising a brow at Hawks who looked relax. "I had my sidekicks look after some of the areas."
"It cannot be helped." He sighed before scowling when his eyes caught the press. "I could just burn those publishing houses and media building. Seriously, blaming on person with all of this mess. Are they that stupid?"
"Relax, Decimo." Jeanist chuckled. "The other side of your vigilantism is showing."
He wrinkled his nose. "It's not even hidden. It's just there, but no one can see it. Not like all heroes are that good. They have their own temper issues and such. People just don't want to see it."
"Like villains have good intentions but do the wrong things." Jeanist supplied.
"You got it." The brunet smiled before moving to hug Hawks. The other squeaked a little in surprise. Jeanist chuckled. "Reborn won't hug me since I woke up. Dad is still in bed, so he can't cuddle with me. Hawks is so cute, so I'm hugging him." He tightened his hold and sighed in relief. "You're the one I was more worried of. Fumikage cried to me when they put you in. Dabi is really ruthless when he's in a battle. That asshole. I'm gonna give him a piece of my mind once I talk to him again."
Arms slowly hugged him by the waist and he felt the wing hero relax completely. "Thank you."
"No problem."
"I knew you're into pedophilia, but in public?" Tsuna turned a little to see Reborn approaching them. A brow was raised. "Really, Tsuna?"
The brunet hugged Hawks tighter before letting out his tongue. "At least Hawks-san hugs me."
"I was busy."
"You weren't last night."
"You're being a spoiled brat."
"I am your spoiled brat." Then he looked down to Hawks who was red all over the face. "Are you okay, Hawks? You're extremely red."
"I'm fine." The hero muttered.
Tsuna let him go and patted the young man's soft hair. He's a little taller than Shouto and Katsuki, but the brunet can still reach.
"Ah. You healed it." Reborn nodded. "Good. I had trouble with that."
"You should've said something." He huffed before stepping away from the heroes. "How's Dad?"
"He's fine, looking for you actually. He wants to know who is Aeturnus." His hitman answered.
Tsuna perked up before smiling widely as he thought of his little Aetu. "I'm going."
"W-Wait, Tsuna." They looked back to Hawks who is staring at them with determined face. "Do you happen to know what's this One for All thing that Shigaraki wanted to get? Endeavor said it's related to Deku. Right now, Deku is still asleep and All Might is inside with him."
He blinked before he straightened up. "I know what it is. However," He immediately said before Hawks can say anything. "I cannot say any more than it is something that must be protected, but not entirely unable to fight for itself. You can ask Izuku, but I doubt he'll tell you the whole story. Knowing Endeavor-san, he might have some clues on what Izuku told him before everything turned south. I'm sorry, but it's not my story to tell."
Hawks stared at him before smiling a little. "It's alright. Thank you for answering."
He beamed. "No problem. If you need anything, just ask the nurse station, or I'll be with Dad. I'll let you meet him once he's fine. Bye to you two." He turned to Reborn and started to walk. "Let's go. I want to tell Dad all about Little Aetu. He'll be really thrilled."
"Hmp. He's my son too." The hitman harrumphed.
"He loves me more." He teased before running away with laughter when the hitman tried to smack him.
He didn't see how Jeanist and Hawks looked at each other with wide surprised eyes.
