AN: im back and im sicc help me-
He's doing a pretty great job at hiding the hero community from Sai, Yagi thinks as he picked up the child from Kindergarten.
He watched the kid walking beside him, as he noticed that she looked deep in thought.
"You know..." She said after a few minutes of silence, "... I just noticed something." She remarked, as she looked at something at the distance, with Yagi following her gaze.
"What's up with people's obsession with heroes?" She asked him offhandedly, as he coughed not-so-discreetly at her question. "Okay, you're acting pretty weird." She stated, her dull blue eyes boring into his bright blue ones.
Yagi gulped, not prepared for the sudden question fired at him. "Uh..." How exactly is he supposed to explain the concept of heroes and villains to her again?
Oh, right. He isn't supposed to. He actually meant to hide it from her, not the other way around.
So let's just say that Yagi's caught off guard for now. And he has to improvise, fast.
"Well," He started, as he finally thought of a decent excuse. "M-maybe people just got caught up too much in their comics?" He said, but it's more like he was asking for confirmation, really.
He also internally cursed himself for stuttering, as that would make his- already unbelievable -lie more obvious.
Sai stared at him as if he had grown a second head.
...Did- did he say something weird? Was there something on his face?
This situation felt oddly familiar.
Sai finally broke the (awkward) silence, already having enough of it. "Uh, are you okay...?" She slowly asked him, before muttering silently under her breath, "I feel like you just lost a few digits off your IQ."
Yagi did not want to know how the kid somehow knows what an IQ is. Still, she had a point. He was indeed not okay with her question.
She suddenly made a disturbed noise, then pointed at something as he looked towards the object in question. "Okay, what the-" She cut herself off, frowning. "...What is that thing...?"
He narrowed his eyes at the disgusting sight, before crouching down at Sai's eye level, grabbing both of her shoulders firmly, yet gently. "I trust that you can go home now by yourself now," Yagi said, as she blinked in confusion. "I know that it's a bit too much to ask you this, but... can you go home just by yourself?" He requested, as Sai stared at him before nodding slowly.
He heaved out a sigh of relief. "Thank you." He really is. "... I'll catch up with you later, okay?" He said, before shooing her away from the scene gently. "Now go. And be careful!" He said, as she waved at him one last time before walking towards the direction of their home.
Well then, now that there's no more distractions...
Toshinori Yagi transformed into All Might.
...He can now do his job without anything getting in his way.
"Fear not, citizens! Why? Because I am here!"
(Well, not that Sai-chan is a liability, but you get what he means.)
Oh hell naw. She ain't leaving his stick figured ass all by himself. Nope.
Yagi is hiding something, and Sai is suspicious.
Suspicious enough that she's willing to disobey him if it meant finding out what he's hiding from her.
Yeah, right. As if Sai's gonna be surprised at his little secret. She got skewered by a fucking steel beam and went through reincarnation. She thinks that it's surprising enough.
So here she is, perched up on a giant tree that was conveniently in front of the scene of the crime, enough for her to easily climb up and spy at the blue eyed man while he did... something.
Sai sat on one of the thick branches, hiding through a bunch of leaves as she gets to witness a live crime in action.
...Wait, did that guy seriously just cut himself in half? What the fuck?
She blinked, not believing at what she just saw. It was almost like it came out of a horror scene or something. But then there wasn't any blood, so... maybe it's the guy's quirk?
Eh, she's not... gonna dwell too much on that. Just the concept of having freaky powers is weird enough.
But then some buff idiot showed up. Okay, shit just got weirder. Why the hell is he wearing some tight ass shirt?
Also, Sai couldn't help but think how awfully similar the guy looks like Yagi. But on steroids.
Speaking of the skinny man, where the fuck did Yagi went off to?
Anyway, the muscular dude was also yelling something about not worrying as he's already there, and... What? Why would people care if some bara dude just bursts outta nowhere? Honestly, if people would actually calm down because of his reassuring (not really) words, Sai will seriously consider jumping off a cliff just because she can't bear the sheer stupidity.
...Everyone yelled, including the criminal who sliced himself in half. But the crowd didn't yell because they panicked, no. They cheered for the guy who literally just bursted out of nowhere.
What.
(At that moment, Sai actually considered jumpng of a cliff.)
The people, who were previously wailing hopelessly for help, are now cheering for the blonde man, chanting something along the lines of 'All Might.'
'What a weird situation I'm watching right now.' Sai thought with an impassive stare. 'And I'm not just talking about the guy who showed his quirk earlier.'
What is this.
Sai watched the man in interest, as he quickly apprehended the violent dude with... a single punch. Well, he also may have (kind of) produced a large gust of wind (though she's pretty sure that was unintentional) but that's not important because-
"Texas Smash!"
-humans, even if they have quirks, are not supposed to make air pressure that high and fast.
No, that just literally goes against all of the natural laws. But then again... quirks have already completely destroyed her perception of reality so yeah.
Sai thinks she needs to go to a mental hospital. Or probably jump off a cliff. Preferably both.
As she watched the whole thingmajig play out in front of her, she couldn't help but piece the clues that were oh-so-obviouly laid out to her together.
Oh, so heroes do exist. And they literally look like a comic book puked them out.
Now that she's thought about it... Does that mean stereotypical villains exist too-?
By the way, about Yagi? Sai hasn't found him yet, and she's already getting worried about him, despite the man annoying her sometimes.
She hoped he wasn't dragged into the crossfire. She really did.
Yagi should've expected Sai to not follow his instruction. Or at least check on her to see if she did follow his instruction.
But no, he was too caught up- too eager, his mind traitorously whispers -on catching the villain rampaging on the street to even worry if she did comply to his request.
So in the end, it could be said that it was still partly Yagi's fault.
Still, what is Sai even thinking, recklessly climbing up a tree just to watch a villain wreck havoc?
"It was interesting," She said. " And I was worried about you," She mumbled quietly, thinking that he couldn't hear her.
He... doesn't know how to respond to that, as he has never encountered that kind of situation before. Who would be worried about All Might, anyway?
After all, the number one hero is supposed to be the one worried, not the other way around.
"Stop staring at me like that." Sai deadpanned, as he blinked, before momentarily looking away from her. "Oh, yeah. Where were you a while ago?" She asked, as Yagi tried to thought up of an excuse.
He... unfortunately could not think of anything right now.
For a while, it was silent, before Sai spoke again, "Well?" She impatiently said.
He sighed, running a hand through his messy hair. "If you must know..." He muttered, as the kid raised an eyebrow.
"I..."
"I..." Yagi started, "I'm... a hero."
Sai blinked.
Say what-?
"I'm a very... well-known hero, who goes by the the alias 'All Might'." He tried elaborated further, but apparently Sai's mind was short circuiting at the moment.
...Well, that was... that actually answered some of her questions and cleared up the suspicions about him.
Still, she was not expecting that at all.
Because honestly, who the fuck would suspect a literal stick figure of being a hero?
"Wait, slow down." Sai held up a hand while pinching her nose with the other. "So, you're implying that you..." She gestured to his not so idealistic body, "...were the perso- hero that defeated the villain a while ago." She remarked, her voice indicating that she was feeling slightly surprised.
Yagi slowly nodded after a few sentence, confirming her previous statement.
Sai pursed her lips, before turning her back from him and walked to the direction of their apartment, all the while shaking her head. "Sorry, I'm kind of in shock right now... I'll probably react later." She said, answering Yagi's silent question.
'I'll probably react violently later and arguments would also be likely to happen.' She thought grimly, as Yagi finally caught up to her. 'Ah, whatever. I'll... burn that bridge when I get to it.' Sai sardonically thought, as she and Yagi walked home together, the atmosphere around them tense.
AN: lol the underwhelmed bit legit happened in real life tho-
