Chapter 42:
He ducked under the tail whip and sent out his explosion. Ojiro quickly blocked it with his tail but was launched into the wall. The tailed-user recovered quickly and bounced off the wall and superman punched Katsuki into the ground. He went with a ground pound with his tail but the explosion user moved out of the way. Ojiro was polite enough to let him stand up.
"See? Bigger trouble than Icyhot bitch." Katsuki panted. He is not about to let his guard down on this guy. Ojiro may not look much but he had his entire life carrying around that heavy tail. He's bound to be stronger than he looks. That superman punch alone was enough to prove that to him. Ojiro didn't say a word as he ran forward while swinging his tail. Katsuki jumped back to avoid it only to be surprised by the tailed-user landing on a handstand before using the momentum to continually spin like a top.
He got hit by the tail. It hurts. It really hurts like a bitch. He's pretty sure there's a crack on his ribcage. "Don't get hit again."
Katsuki fired a massive explosion at the human top, knocking Ojiro off-balance and making him skid across the ground. He didn't let the pressure go away as he flew on top of him and sent a barrage of explosions on Ojiro's chest. He was knocked off by his opponent's tail but he knew he already did some good damage. He could see the burns on Ojiro's chest. Just looking at it made him wince. "Shit. I think I overdid it?"
"Overdid it? No, this is milder than a lighter's flame." Okay, that insult pissed him off. Katsuki launched himself again at Ojiro, who ducked out of the way and whipped him upwards into the air. Using his tail, Ojiro managed to leap on the same height as the explosion user and whipped him into the ground again before Katsuki could recover. "Yeah, trashtalking you still seems to do the job."
"Fuck off." Katsuki slowly stood up from the crater created by his rough landing. He can still go. He could see the burns slowly getting to Ojiro. He could already feel his own muscles ache from overuse. "One more blow and you're done."
"From the looks of it, you're in the same position as me." Ojiro talked back while readying himself again for one final clash. Katsuki responded the same way. Nobody was moving for a moment until the sudden attack came. For one last time, Katsuki raised his arms and Ojiro swung his tail.
*BOOOOOOMMMM*
Both of them were still standing while facing the opposite way. Katsuki's body faltered for a moment but his iron-will kept him standing. The burns that were still giving Ojiro the stinging sensation was too much to handle as he was brought to his knees.
"Damn. Well, I'm at my limit. I surrender." Ojiro exclaimed while clutching his burnt chest.
"...YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Katsuki immediately ran to his championship belt and raised it up high.
"Yeah, sure but can you at least help me up? Recovery Girl is gonna give us a talking."
"Right."
Visit
It took a lot of begging from his parents and Gran Torino to get him out of his house arrest to visit his older sister. Tatsumaki is fine but nobody knows when she'll regain consciousness. His dad visits her on his way home while his mom visits her when she can. Fubuki is usually with them but not right now. Izuku is the only one who hasn't visited yet. Now that he's here, he doesn't know what to say.
She had a peaceful look on her face with only one IV injected into her as opposed to having many. Izuku is grimly reminded of his mistake and misplaced worry. He didn't have enough faith in her and now this happened because of it. "I'm sorry."
He reached out to hold her hand. "I'm really sorry, sis."
That was until he felt a psychic pull on his body and he gets thrown out of the window.
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET YOU ABSOLUTE RETARD!" Tatsumaki screamed, fully awake, much to the shock of Inko and Hisashi. "DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO PRETEND TO BE UNCONSCIOUS JUST SO I COULD BAIT YOUR STUPID ASS INTO THIS?!"
Luckily enough, while she had thrown him out of the window, she didn't let go of her psychic hold on him and gently placed him back on the floor. "Seriously, stop being stupid next time. Let your big sister handle the heavy lifting for you, Izuku."
"MY BABY GIRL!" Inko was the first to squeeze Tatsumaki with a hug, followed by Hisashi, and then finally Izuku. "Never worry any of us again. Also, you're paying for that broken window."
"Okay, mom. Also, before this whole mess, I've been wanting to tell you something."
"Anything, honey."
"I have a boyfriend."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"WHAT?!" Inko held her daughter tightly by the shoulders as Hisashi pulled her away.
"Calm down, Inko. Tatsumaki is an adult now. She's allowed to have a boyfriend. That is, why hasn't he visited you?"
"Only when I tell him to. Otherwise, you'd pester him about it. We talked about it, and I think it's time we finally meet in the restaurant."
"Sounds like a fine idea," Izuku said. Tatsumaki glared at him but it was softer as usual.
"You're not invited."
"Fine."
"And so, I'm gonna have to go to a restaurant to meet whoever my daughter is dating." Hisashi handed Mirko's newly repaired costume to the owner. "Also, here's your suit. It should be fireproof now. Don't want that thing burning off completely mid-fight, right?"
"Yeah, yeah, old man." The rabbit hero playfully teased her hired support engineer. Hawks' recommendation was a lifesaver. "You wouldn't mind being my usual repairman, right?"
"Oh sure, as long as you can pay for it," Hisashi answered while taking the cash that Mirko handed to him. "Stay safe out there, kid!"
The day of the date
"Tatsumaki, hurry up. Your mother and I found a good table to-" Hisashi immediately stopped while coming out of the restaurant's door to stare back at Hawks holding hands with Tatsumaki. Hawks was staring back at him fearfully. Hisashi's stare turned into a vicious glare as a small green fire made its way out of his mouth. "How do you know this person?"
"Dad, this is Keigo, my boyfriend. You'd know him as Hawks." Tatsumaki said cheerfully while holding Hawks' hand, who immediately but gently let go. Hisashi walked over to them.
"The fuck?!"
"I-, uh, I-" Hawks nervously tried and failed to talk back.
"How's the hero work, Keigo?" Hisashi asked with venom in his words that Tatsumaki somehow missed.
"Oh, it's better that we just get inside and talk there, right?" Tatsumaki said while pulling both the men into the restaurant with Hawks avoiding eye contact with Hisashi.
It had been awkward for five minutes with Hawks staring at the ground while Hisashi was giving him a questioning glare. The flying hero was doing his best to avoid eye contact with his girlfriend's father, who just so happens to be his support technician. Inko was confused by the exchange.
"So…do you like the weather?" Hawks awkwardly asked, trying to break the ice.
"Did you work with Hawks before, dear?"
"No." Hisashi lied. He personally heard of Hawks' tall tales of sleeping with another top hero. Someone who turned out to be his daughter. He just high-fived Hawks for sleeping with his daughter. He already felt ashamed. Now, he's trying his best to not direct his anger at Hawks, but it's impossible.
"Look at how many heroes there are here. Heroes…. people…. uh…. potential wi-witnesses." Hawks said while looking around, still trying to avoid eye contact.
"So how did you two meet?" Inko asked Tatsumaki.
"We met at the Hero Rankings last year. He kinda followed me back to my temporary apartment."
"Followed her? To her apartment?" Hisashi was shocked to hear this.
"Aww, that's beautiful," Inko said.
"T-Then what happened?"
"I let him hang out. After a few months, we're watching Netflix and chilling. Actually, we've done it a couple of times." Tatsumaki tried to hold Hawks' hand again but the birdman gently refused to return the affectionate gesture.
"This is bullshit." Hisashi shuffled on his sit. He slammed his hand on the table and looked for the waiter. "Waiter, what can an engineer do to get some water around here?"
"Give the fucking guy some water, he's an engineer, he helped heroes out a lot!" Hawks tried and failed again to help, trying to appease Hisashi.
"Hisashi, what is going on? Are you alright?" Inko asked her husband worriedly.
"Right, right, I'm gonna go and grab some food from that all-you-can-eat table." Hisashi stood up and walked away to the table. Hawks buried his face in his hands.
"Oh, you're worried? Don't worry, Keigo, it's probably just his built-up stress from work finally exploding." Inko tried waving the worry away from him.
"Waiter, give me some of those string beans," Hisashi said while extending his plate. Much to his annoyance, the waiter only gave a few. "Come on, put some more on there."
The waiter did so and only placed a few again. Hisashi finally lost his temper. "GIVE ME THE GODDAMN STRING BEANS!" He grabbed too much and smashed it on his plate
"I want some fucking sushi." He grabbed the sushi and smashed it on his plate. He grabbed a banana. "I like fruit. Don't you like fruit? I LIKE FRUIT!"
"What you got here?" He opened up the tray. "Pork steak? MORE LIKE PORK SHIT! FUCKING BLAND!" He swatted the tray away.
"THAT SHIT IS NASTY!"
"WHAT'S UP TURKEY?! GONNA BREAK YOUR PIECE OF SHIT LEG!" Hisashi yelled as he violently pulled the leg off the cooked turkey and threw it away.
"Yeah, that's his stress coming back to bite him," Inko said while watching Hisashi swat tray after tray. Tatsumaki floated to the bathroom in disappointment while Hawks still had his face buried in his hands.
"What's up plant?" Hisashi walked up to a potted plant before kicking it. "GET YOUR MOTHERFUCKING ASS OFF MY FACE, PLANT!"
5 days later…
"Hey, Mr. Midoriya, I got reckless about the blades and- Hawks, why are you wearing a hazmat suit?" Mirko looked at her friend curiously as both of them were sitting in front of Hisashi's desk. The man was busy glaring at Hawks to pay attention to whatever she was saying.
"Gentlemen, and lady, we're not gonna sit here and pretend there's not a big elephant in the room." Hisashi's fire breath was visible, causing Hawks to lose more faith in his fireproof suit and for Mirko to look around for an elephant.
"Uh, what the hell is going on?" Mirko asked the engineer.
Hisashi grabbed a framed photo facing him and turned it to face them. It was a picture of Tatsumaki. Hawks was sweating even more now. "This is what the hell is going on."
Mirko looked at Hawks' sweating face for a moment before looking back at the picture. It took five seconds for the answer to finally kick in, causing her to smile. "OH SHIT! OH, SHIT!"
Mirko was laughing hysterically now, much to Hisashi's annoyance and Hawks' fear. "OOOH SHIT! NO! NO! THAT'S NOT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW! Wait, lemme call someone."
She pulled out her phone and opened up a call. "HEY TRISH, HE'S FUCKING SPIDERSTORM'S SISTER! YEAH, I KNOW, HISASHI'S DAUGHTER!" She then went outside to announce it to the world.
"Every time she says that shit, that's another foot up your ass," Hisashi warned Hawks who visibly shrunk at his seat.
"HAWKS, THIS IS- OH MAN, THIS IS THE BEST THING EVER! HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!" Mirko screamed from behind the window. It was fine until she started singing it. "HAWKS FUCKED HISASHI'S DAUUUUGHTER~ HAWKS FUCKED HISASHI'S DAUUUGHTER!"
She got inside the store again. "SHIT! HAHAHAHA! YOU FUCKED THE TORNADO OF TERROR?! KNOWING YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, YOU PROBABLY UNKNOWINGLY BRAGGED IT TO HIS FACE!"
She got close to Hisashi's face and pointed at it. "THIS FACE! AND KNOWING YOUR TENDENCY TO HIGH FIVE, Oh my god." She turned to Hisashi. "You actually high fived Hawks, for fucking your daughter. HOLY SHIT! THIS IS…"
Hisashi let out a stronger breath of green flame, almost reaching Mirko, causing the rabbit to whisper a few last words before going silent. "…not really funny."
"I'd like to say that it's weird…that…neither of us connected the dots on who your daughter and who my girlfriend is." Hawks tried to reason with the man.
"I'd like to say it's weird that I haven't ripped off your balls and your wings yet," Hisashi said threateningly while Hawks tried to back away with his sit.
"What if, one time, Mr. Midoriya gets to punch you really really hard in the face?" Mirko proposed a compromise.
"Nah. I got a better idea." Hisashi said ominously.
Hawks had his hands tied to his back while Izuku was behind him, ready to catch the soon-to-be fallen hero. Mirko was standing there taking a video of the whole thing. Hisashi was aiming a taser at Hawks' balls.
"Ready?" Hisashi asked.
"I-" Hawks wasn't given time to reply as Hisashi fired the taser straight to his family jewels. He let out a painful howl as Izuku winced while catching him.
