AN: A short interlude showing a day in the life of Nejire when Peter's having a slow day, except with some character development, takes place a few months after the last chapter that had a time skip of around two years.
3-In-1 Instant Quirks 5 (My Hero Academia, Villain SI)
Nejire Hadou
Nejire broke her personal pencil tapping record as she awaited the impending end of today's math class. Her teacher didn't really care about this minor transgression since she had a powerful Quirk and had perfect grades.
Peter said it was because the teachers were all secret Meta-Liberation Army sympathizers and were trying to instill their Quirk supremacist values to the next generation. Then again, he says that about almost all schools with 'bratty kids' and he always uses Aldera Junior High as an example. Not that the statistics were wrong but she was very sure the figures were 'massaged' to look correct.
The bell rang. Nejire swept all her things off the desk and into her opened bag.
Without giving a chance for anyone to talk to her and distract her with potentially interesting things (she was learning to prioritize, yay), Nejire began to emit short, weak bursts of energy through her feet to increase her movement speed to make it to the shoe lockers as quickly as possible.
As she opened her shoe box to retrieve her normal outdoor shoes, a dozen or so letters fell unto the floor. Hmm, why do those silly boys always place the 'love letters' at the end of the week? Is there some unwritten rule she wasn't aware of?
Nejire didn't bother reading any of them and took out her stack of post-it notes with the same 'sorry (but not sorry) I can't accept your feelings' responses stamped onto them. It's a good thing that Peter helped her make the stamp or her hands would go numb in replying to all of these in written form.
She didn't want to see any more boys than necessary when she was going to be married to Peter. Unlike him, they weren't all that smart, interesting or even capable of faking genuine interest in the things she talked about.
Simply put, they were insipid, shallow excuses for human beings. Their dreams and ambitions were uninspired. They were utterly unimaginative and their attention spans could only hold their interest if they were thinking about her very grown-up body.
She really liked having a healthy body with mature proportions, but there were people that liked them too much in the wrong way, and that really annoys her!
After sticking them a note to each letter, she flew up a bit and left the letters at the top of the lockers before leaving the school grounds. It took her 10 minutes to reach one of her family's new coffee (bleh) shop chains, that Peter named 'Chagall Cafe' of all things (totally not cute). She walked in and waved at the staff who all knew her, rushed into the staff rooms where Peter would be picking her up from today.
A recta - one, four, eleven sides… a hendecagon shaped portal appeared immediately and she jumped right through it. She immediately recognized the Hosu cityscape, took off her shoes and threw it towards the penthouse entrance.
"Yay! I got it!"
Her shoes sort-of landed upright in the empty spot.
"I guess I should just place a basketball hoop right there next time."
Her 'big brother' Peter walked into the living room carrying some pretty looking dresses. His currently untamed fluffy blonde hair looked so… puffy right now. It looked like he had a hair accident.
"Hey, hey Peter! What happened to your hair?!"
She flew right up to him and started to play with his hair as he moved to the dining table.
"I shot electricity through it, that's what happened. A silly Quirk for a silly purpose."
"Did you try to charge a phone with an electricity Quirk again?"
"Ding ding ding! 100 Points to Nejire!"
He used his [Fireworks] Quirk to make a small light show of the number'100'.
"Yay! Where's my prize?"
"Ask and you shall receive."
"Oooh, that's my favorite!"
That was Peter-Speak for 'come up with something and I decide whether I want to make it happen or not'. If it was too big of a thing, like eliminating all crime across the country, they would just start talking about the bigger picture then work their way down for a suitable compromise.
They never had to argue much since there was little Peter wasn't willing to do for her and Nejire could be perfectly reasonable when she had all her questions answered.
If she asked for something specific and within reach he would get it for her within days. When she had wanted an island with dinosaurs on it he went and made it for her, called it Jurassic Park and made a camping trip out of it.
He also liked to go 'Plus Ultra' whenever she made a vague wish.
Like the time she asked for him to do something super heroic he went ahead and got hold of an 'international hero license' somehow, set up a Pro-Hero Agency (branch) office in another prefecture and had a clone running around as an effective and entertaining hero just for her. He even went ahead and beat Endeavor's record for number of arrests in a single month!
She really loved how hard he tried to make her happy.
Not that she needed him to go through so much effort to prove his love or anything, she already loved him the way he was, but having her wishes granted just like that made her feel like a real-life princess being won over by a dashing prince.
"Came up with anything yet?"
He asked with a bright smile as he 'hung' the dresses in the air. It was probably some random utility Quirk with a very literal name like [Air Handles].
"Uh uh. Nothing yet. Ooh, what's that on the table?"
She saw various things in beakers and other glass containers, they all had different labels but they seem to come from a "Specimen - Nana", whatever that is.
"Just some replicated DNA I made using some old samples. I'm going to hand them over to my science buddies over at I-Island and a genetics research lab in Germany."
"What is it? Who is it? Is it a he? Or a she? What is it for?! I'm curious!"
"Human, deceased female hero. We're attempting a resurrection experiment. I'm letting them attempt it with pure technology, while I could have done it all on my own I'm trying to do my part in advancing science in this Quirk obsessed world."
"That's awesome! It's really neat that you're letting people do that on their own and earn their paychecks."
People can't just expect their god to just hand them the solution to every problem in the world. Peter may as well be god at this point but Nejire knew that life wouldn't really change for the better if they were entirely reliant on him. It's really great that he's challenging humanity in this way instead of ending up like a sole pillar or symbol like All Might.
He smiled and nodded, that was his 'I'm super pleased' look, "Idle hands are the devil's workshop. Making sure that everyone has work, meaningful work to turn to, is a great way to prevent crime and improve living standards in this world."
"That's a saying derived from Bible verses right?"
"Yup! You're such a clever girl Nejire."
"Aaah… Mmm, don't mess up my hair~"
She loved it when he praised her and rewarded her like this. He always encouraged her to keep and grow her passion for learning new things, and often rewarded her whenever she showed the efforts of her work, in both a physical and mental capacity.
Nejire had been taught a lot of things by Peter, his many 'training/mentor' Quirks helped her train her Quirk, increase her combat ability, gain knowledge and master various skills super quickly!
"Aww, now I have to do it up all over again… do you have a hair stylist Quirk?"
"Uh… give me a moment aaaaand I do now."
"Great. Do me up!"
"Of course, my Nejire."
Hmm, hmm, she really loved the sound of that. She only had a little less than two years until they could marry and no one could ever complain about her belonging to him anymore!
Nejire hummed a tune as he fixed her hair and found herself looking at the nice dresses. One of them was certainly her size but the other dress was-
"Hey, Hey! What is this?! What are you doing? You said you were breaking up with that hero! Pixie-Bob, um, Ryuko! Where are you going with her?"
-the size of that Wild, Wild Pussycat lady who is super sensitive about her age!
Nejire wasn't very angry about it. She was just confused. She knew that he was going to get lots of pretty wives for himself, as any respectable god should, but she remembered him being really dissatisfied about his choice after attending several parties and dates with the blonde hero.
She wasn't quite sure why that was since she kept getting distracted by something else.
"It's just one more charity dinner. Nothing big. We'll still be friends with benefits, for now. Honestly, she can't live without my dick anymore."
"Naturally. But I wanna know, wanna know about… why you don't seem very excited about it!"
"Hmm… well, you see Nejire…"
He took out several well-known video games that Nejire knew about but didn't have the time to play and had only read the reviews about them.
"Between the new Harvest Moon game, the mediocre violence game that isn't part of the Doom Series... and the story-rich game of the year - which one do you think you would enjoy playing more?"
"The first and the third one."
She answered without hesitation.
"Why? Keep it under 50 words."
He was asking her questions in order to answer her question, in other words, he was leading her to an answer or a viewpoint that he might or might not share with her. He did this a lot, sometimes their reasons don't match up, but Nejire liked it when he did it like this since they both get to learn a lot about each other.
She referred to the reviews a bit and talked about how she would like an engaging story focused game. Then addressed the farming game and spoke about loving the idea of progression in achievable goals, character development and story.
He was done with her hair. She turned around and found him smiling really warmly. He looked like he desperately wanted to kiss her and hug her real tight. She felt exactly the same way.
"That's exactly it. I could have a real spectacle, an entertaining spectacle of a game anytime I want and I have plenty of options on that front but what really gets me are those other two games for the exact same reason. Can you see how it applies to people? I could get any woman I want, and I did with Ryuko, she's nice and fun but ultimately that satisfaction was middling and I could have gotten it from anywhere else. But for the other two… in real life, sometimes the best things in life take a lot of time and care."
"So for some women you want a real heart-pumping story or scenario?"
"Yes. And…? Do you see where you fit into the picture?"
"Oh! I get it! You're raising me to the best that I can be!"
"Yes, that's exactly it. And I love doing it. Everyday I feel so happy just being with you and watching you grow…"
"Me too! You grow too you know, not just in using all those Quirks but you're a lot happier nowadays!"
He seemed stunned for a moment so Nejire decided to continue.
"Your smile has been more genuine, almost all of the time whenever we're together. You get like that when you make and play with Quirks, but when you do all your hero, villain, businessman, science-y work you usually just smirk for a bit."
"A-ah… You're right." Peter had his 'epiphany' expression on his face again, after gathering his thoughts, he looked at her with the happiest face she ever saw on him. "You're brilliant Nejire. I'm so glad… I'm so glad that you understand me."
"You're being silly. Of course I do. We do a lot of things together, don't we?"
"Yeah… we do. We should, I mean, spend more time on doing new things too."
"Like all the super villain stuff?"
"Ah… yeah."
"I mean, it was kinda obvious with all the brainwashing and killing you've done. I read lots of stuff on the internet and can piece things together you know!"
"You're fine with it?!"
"Yeah! It's not like I can do anything about it or feel upset about it, you trained me this way and I don't mind it since life's a lot better and waaaaaay more interesting these days."
"And you still want to be a hero? What about your ideals?"
What about them? She was still going to be a hero that children could look up to so that they wouldn't grow up evil, stupid or boring.
"Well, calling some of the things you do as 'villain' stuff is kinda… unenlightened? Is that the word? I mean, I know the laws and most of them are made for humans, but you have so much power that you're pretty much a god so things like the law, morals and common sense shouldn't apply to you."
He had his 'epiphany' expression again which made her laugh a lot. Well, she supposed there's a reason why all those Quirks are sorted as 'intelligence' Quirks and not 'wisdom' Quirks.
She knew that he hadn't touched her like he would touch his girlfriend or lover yet since he wanted to wait for when she was ready. Having decided that she loved his silly looking face too much, Nejire went ahead and gave away her first kiss.
Nejire kept kissing him until he stopped looking so surprised. He quickly took control of the situation, holding her closely and began to kiss her like an adult too.
They didn't take things too far but they ended up spending a long time together.
"You know, I was planning on raising another wonderful wife at the same time but… I think I will hold off until you get into U.A. High School."
"Hey, hey, you have lots of Clone-type Quirks so you can spend time with me and someone else at the same time."
"I know that. I can certainly do that, but I refuse, these next two years… they will be all for you."
