Thunder Hero Baraquiel
Harry picked up immediately "What's up T?" Fuyumi, Neville, Dean and Seamus paused what they were doing.
"I...need some help." T, whoever he was, responded.
"Go on."
"I may or may not have found a group, with less than heroic…I wanted to check if I infiltrated the group you'd let it slide."
"You're going to need to do something big to gain admittance. Speaking of which T, fancy doing a job for me?"
There was silence. "That is?"
"I need to get my hands on Composite X…and a lot."
There was a stony silence before a rasping chuckle was heard "Yeah, that'd get me in…"
"T, if your next question is about payment...I've got you. You're not a edgelord on a suicide mission; you're my brother-in-law with a mission. I look out for me and mine."
T went quiet "Thanks. I know a place, not sure if Fuyumi has informed you but it's in Shinagawa."
Harry stilled "That's by the docks…"
"You're a sharp one Baraquiel…anyway I'll meet you there. It's best if I scope it out." With that T hung up.
Harry looked at them "He volunteered!"
"Because my brother knows you'll give him what he wants…"
Harry wrapped his arms around Fuyumi "There's that and deep down underneath all of his tendencies, he cares about his sister."
(Toya)
Toya hung up, his in-law was amazing. But also utterly insane "Harry, I'm sorry, you're going to be in for a rough time with what I'm planning…" Toya broke himself from those thoughts as he recounted the sit down he'd had when with his now in-law.
"Getting paid to be a villain, but actually an underground-hero…that's actually a beneficial twist. Considering I'm technically dead and Harry isn't about to play ball with the HPSC. I'm safe, the jail time will be worth it. Father, watching you justify what you've done that brings a smile to my face. As do seeing my niece and nephew." The Blue-Flame Wielder thought. Where he was residing was a newly closed down motel, the power hadn't yet been turned off.
Toya looked around, this would do nicely. Nice indeed.
(Natsuo)
The second Todoroki male popped his neck as he looked up from his nursing book. The papers weren't going to write themselves, what with his placements were coming up; he needed to be prepared.
He found himself gazing at his housemate, Fumiko Sada, a brunette with honey brown eyes. There was something about her that had initially unsettled Natsuo; but in the end the pair had become rather good friends. "Fancy a drink?"
"Please."
Sada stood up and headed out of the living room into the kitchen, the window was in front of the sink; looking out onto the street. Sada Fumiko, Quaking Hero: Quake, quickly scanned the street; there were two black transit vans that had arrived earlier today before the lectures and they were still there when they'd returned.
"Fumiko?" Sada spun, to see her, now, complicated friend.
"Yes? Sorry…"
Natsuo looked out the window "It's the vans, isn't it?" Sada nodded, her mind reeling "This has got a lot more complicated and simpler." Natsuo looked at her "Who are you, really? Sada, I've come to like you, would you be my girlfriend?" He stated, he paused his mind trying to think of what he wanted to say.
"My name is Sada Fumiko, I'm a medical student currently whilst being a hero sidekick. Baraquiel sent me, on behalf of your brother-in-law. He'd offered me a job but that was before my medical school applications were confirmed. He offered me the job and that he'd bank roll my degree; he wanted me to keep an eye on you."
"Keep an eye on me? What for? My father doesn't contact me."
"Baraquiel has a different view on Japanese Laws. He was thinking, if you get threatened, I will intervene; If you got hopelessly drunk, I'd get you home. Baraquiel also said his own actions might get you threatened."
Natsuo paused, come to think of it, with a hero for an in-law and a father there were a few things that Natsuo had picked up; such as a routine periodic visual check. Harry had taught him a few tricks for his quirk 'Absolute Cold' and a few basic striking and blocking techniques; he remembered seeing Sada more than once. Then there were their next door neighbours.
"Sada, what do you know about the neighbours?"
Sada sighed "Oh that idiotic Son of Kilgore…Endeavour, in a feat of either devotion or desperation has assigned three of his flameshitters to look out for you."
"Flameshitters? Don't you mean Flaming Sidekickers."
Sada shrugged, getting a chuckle from the young man "Natsuo, Baraquiel…"
"Harry, Sada. Baraquiel and Harry are the same person. He also probably told you tell me 'You're family and there's nothing you don't do for family.'" Natsuo retorted, getting a giggle from Sada.
"Natsuo, I've developed feelings for you. Even though I was told to keep an eye on you, I was left to my own devices. Our meeting was staged but apart from that it's all me." Sada stated, as the door to the neighbours opened and the black vans opened.
Natsuo's face hardened "You're not making me run. I don't want to be a hero but I've learnt a little. Harry insisted. 'It's not illegal to knock someone out in self-defence.'"
Sada chuckled "I bet he's taught you more…" She opened the cupboard under the sink as she pulled out a pair of metallic gauntlets that, in Natsuo's opinion, looked good on her. She popped her neck as the front door burst in.
As the front door did so, the back door opened and three heroes entered, attracting a volley of gunfire. "Todoroki! Are you okay? I'm Zipline, the other two are Smog and Nitro. Endeavour tasked us to keep an eye on you."
"That somehow doesn't fill me with confidence."
Their conversation stopped as orders of 'Scare and rough the bastard over. Provoke his detail. Fucks sake don't kill him!'
The three heroes and sidekick looked at Natsuo "You heard them. We need to get you out."
"No." Unfortunately Natsuo's voice cracked and the wall from the hallway disintegrated as one of the thugs melted the wall. However, a side-effect of his quirk meant that it revealed his exact position.
That was what Natsuo noticed, as the wall dissolved, the man revealed himself. Natsuo reacted, he popped up his body beginning to emit a thin shroud of frost, he lifted his palms "Friess!"
It was something out of a film or comic book. The ice rushed across the room, slamming into the invader, engulfing him in ice whilst splitting the invaders into two groups.
Zipline grinned beneath their mask, they popped their head out around the island counter; spied the target and activated their quirk. The quirk, zipline, compressed the wielder to the size of an ant and catapulted them at their opponent. In the words of the Size-Shifting Heroine, Wasp 'You have the power of a grown person in the size of a hundredths of an inch wide...you're the size of a bullet.' In essence with Zipline, the hero in question needed to know how to hold a punch.
Unfortunately for Zipline, the person they connected with had a redirection quirk, they were bounced away. What happened next shocked everyone, there was the unmistakable sound of gunshots.
(Dean and Seamus)
Malkav and Banshee checked the sign. Baraquiel had told them that if they wanted to help him out, they'd drop in on Class 1-B and volunteer their beatings to assist them. "Blood Hero: Vlad King?"
Vlad looked as he observed the newcomers "I am…You two are Malkav and Banshee correct? I got an email from Baraquiel that he was sending some elite help."
Malkav chuckled "Elite help? That's an over exaggeration, Baraquiel told us to help you because 'Eraser has the headcases and Tepes might want assistance from two not total lunatics.'"
Vlad King shook his head "Baraquiel is too lippy for his own good. But if you're as good as he is…"
"He trained us. We've stood six deep in corpses next to him. He came here, and he called us, we came. Baraquiel is many things but one thing he is exceptional at is handling a crisis." Malkav retorted.
"You two introduce yourselves."
Malkav took the stand "Greetings 1-B, you don't know us and that is fine because you will. If you know of Baraquiel, we're cut from the same cloth only…less people friendly. Anyway I am the Dementation Hero: Malkav and this the Gaelic Hero or Screaming Hero: Banshee, he answers to both. Now shall we get started?"
The first person to put their hand in the air had green hair and fanged smile "Yes."
"Tokage Setsuna, Malkav-sensei. What is it you're going to be doing with us?"
Malkav smirked beneath his mask "Eraserhead has our basket case to help with his headcases. We're here to take a tonne off your homeroom teacher; he's in charge. We, Banshee and I, think of us as the people to talk to if you've been a teenager."
"What Malkav means is, we manage stupid. We're members of staff but at the same time we're not much older than you guys."
(Baraquiel and Roadblock)
Class 1-A watched transfixed as their new TA, caught Baraquiel's arm and buried his knee into the lightning hero's solar plexus. "Hold still you slippery bastard."
"Fuck that…Did you swap your absorption energy type? Pretty sure I should have floored you with my 'Lectric Drive."
"Electric Drive…your first super move." Roadblock chuckled as his friend broke out of his hold.
"First one, I made, without approval. I will admit when Goatman finally passed on a massive weight was shifted."
"To think it was Grease-Bat who did the killing. What happened to him?"
"Tommy leeched him. I then Legacied, Tom."
Neville snorted, he was about to demonstrate his latest technique when 'Let it go!' began to blare from Harry's phone. Shoto grabbed the phone and hurled it to Harry as he shouted "It's Natsuo…Mine is either Natural or Radioactive."
"It could be my wife…"
Shoto snorted "No, hers is the Fate Opening. Specifically the Blade Route…" Shoto looked at Class 1-A "...My Brother and Sister have been helping me how to be a person and generally be a teen."
Jiro had a grin on her face "Baraquiel-sensei, what's your ringtone?"
Baraquiel cocked an eyebrow at her "Jiro, take a guess."
Jiro paused "Your quirk is thunder and lightning...so either Thunderstruck or Electric Avenue...Thunderstruck?"
She didn't get a response from the TA but Roadblock nodded in her direction and smoothly took over the gym training session. Since the USJ incident and the subsequent debriefing and counselling session; Jiro had taken up Baraquiel's offer for 'training'. As had most of the class, however quite a few members were reluctant to go much further than learning how to punch, kick, fall, land and how to parkour; but Jiro, Tokoyami and Ojiro had taken to the training programme and were learning definitely unheroic moves but they remembered what Baraquiel had said before the USJ went to hell "Heroics, you play for keeps. All I want is to make sure my students can enter a situation and have good odds on getting out alive. You'll hate me but I'd rather you hate me and live than like me and die."
Harry strode down the corridor as he listened to Soundwave, Sada Fumiko, his quirk sparking across his body "Where are you? Are you and Natsuo okay?"
"I'm not sure where I am…We were attacked, Natsuo used his quirk...They killed Zipline, Smog and Nitro. Sir, what's going on?" Before Harry could respond, he heard a door open and someone yank the phone off his sidekick.
"If you want a guarantee that they'll be okay, Baraquiel, come alone."
The phone disconnected. Baraquiel punched in number causing the phone to groan "Father, someone's made a play at Natsuo...killed your canaries. Sending you live stream information as I get it accessed."
"Potter, are you okay?" This was from All Might. Who'd left the staffroom at the sound of voices outside.
Harry looked at the emaciated hero barely noticing him from the now visible electrons flickering around him "Far from okay. I'm going to need your legal team."
(Natsuo and Sada)
Natsuo jerked awake, he was bound to a chair. Almost by clockwork Sada jerked awake "My apologies for this, nothing personal, the pair of you are merely a message to a few heroes informing them of their place. Providing they cooperate you'll be fine; however you, Todoroki Natsuo are going to find it very hard to be accepted back onto your course should the evidence of our job be released to the public. Illegal quirk usage from Endeavour's son…"
