Baraquiel 29

"The government depot building is on fire, and it wasn't our fault." Toya would repeat both in his head and verbally as he was bundled into Harry's house on UA grounds.

"We didn't start that fire! Yes, we fought fire with fire and set the government depot even more on fire but it wasn't us who started the fire." Harry thought to himself, dumping his brother-in-law on the sofa before rushing back to the van and carrying two duffle bags. Harry hurried back to the van before moving two more and then rolling a bundle into the house.

He heard footsteps at the top of the stairs and he "Izuku, Shoto…go back to bed; Shoto…wake your sister, Izuku…wake Athena. Just tell Athena 'Not My Fault'." Harry looked over his shoulder, throwing a blanket over Toya who was remaining extremely still and was doing his best not to give himself away.

At that moment Neville and Hermione walked in with Fuyumi, in one of Harry's oversized t-shirts and descended the stairs. The newcomer arrivals fixed Harry with a look "What happened? And why is the couch breathing?" Fuyumi asked. Toya slowly pulled himself out from under the blankets.

"Hi, Fuyumi…believe me I didn't realise I was going to be coming here."

Fuyumi pulled Toya into a hug "It's good to see you again, you're looking rather well for someone who should be dead."

"It's been touch and go. Harry's been helping."

Neville looked at Harry, jaw-dropping "This is your secret? You're keeping this from Endeavour?"

"Considering Endeavour directly caused this, of course, I am." Harry snapped. "I'm helping Toya build a reputation…"

"As a villain…then you're going to do 'look at what a shit man Endeavour is, but he's family." Hermione protested.

"The hardest thing I'm ever going to do. Besides, we've got everything worked out…more or less. There are a lot of factors to consider."

Toya grinned "This government job was meant to be a simple smash and grab…and…well…it went to hell in the most spectacular way possible."

Hermione sighed "Neville, get Dean and Seamus; get rid of that truck. You probably had 'Undetected Stealth Perfected' going all the way back. So best not to take any chances."

Neville took off at a run.

Meanwhile, at the top of the stairs, Izuku and Shoto did what any responsible teen would do. Listened in at the top of the stairs, both of them were taking turns to keep an eye on the babies. The girls were dead to the world and for that they were thankful. Although they doubted they'd sleep through the next discussion. "We have a shrine at Endeavours for Toya. To think…"

"That I'm still alive all this time baby brother…it's shocking isn't it!" Toya whispered from behind them. The teens froze and stood up straight "How'd he…"

"Get the drop on you? Quite easily, you were so fixated on eavesdropping, you didn't even register me coming up the stairs." Toya replied nonchalantly, leaning against the wall next to his baby nieces' and nephews' room.

"I thought you had died! I'm sorry I didn't…" Shoto began getting a chuckle from Toya.

"You have nothing to be sorry for, Little brother. Endeavour didn't want anyone potentially infecting his masterpiece…especially not his defective firstborn."

Shoto's eyes hardened "You're not! You're my brother. What gives Endeavour the right to decide!"

"The fact that my body is more suitable for mom's quirk, yet, I've got a fire quirk that surpasses Endeavour. Little Brother, do not get involved in this mess."

"What did you do? You've just said that a building is on fire!" Shoto snapped.

"Easy little brother…cool your jets. Look, Harry and I are going to need to tell this tale again, so we'd prefer to do it only once. Come on."

The bags and roll were stashed in Harry's cave and the adults along with Shoto and Izuku were cloistered in the kitchen with Touya and Harry stuffing their faces with whatever left overs they could find in the fridge. "Alright…explain…please, how from what you described as a 'walk in, walk out' job ended up making the fucking news?" Fuyumi growled.

Harry groaned "Alright…here's what happened."

Flashback
Harry and Touya sat sequestered in the van, that Harry had acquired "Don't ask. I nabbed this off a gang of idiots knocking over a grocery stall. Idiots even took the fucking driver with them."

Touya smirked "Wouldn't want the precious HPSC to know that their own heroes are capable of such villainy."

"Not villainy…okay…well villainy of the least problematic degree…Anyway, let's get going. We're going to drive past and then I'm going to fry the car and blag our way in. We enter, acquire the materials and we leave on foot. I have a spare van located three minutes run from here."

Touya nodded "Simple enough. What happens if it goes wrong…all plans do."

"Just…try not to deliberately kill anyone."

Touya nodded "I notice that you didn't mention anything about maiming."

"I'm not exactly known for bringing idiots in unharmed. You're my Sidekick, Cremation…doing deep cover work. I'm not about to jeopardise your mission."

Touya chuckled "So do I have orders?"

Harry handed him blank sheet of paper "Your orders, uniform and equipment…You want it you'll get it."

With that Harry and Touya began their plan, as they pulled passed the depot, Harry sent a discharge through the car causing the hazard lights to flicker on. "Excuse me!" Harry called, the security guard looked up.

"Can I help you?"

"My van's broken down…Could you do me a favour and allow me to push it onto the building's carpark. Then I'll be calling a mechanic."

"I'm going to…No problem Baraquiel, by all means." Harry grinned as Toya got the van in neutral and Harry pushed the van into depot grounds. They were in, Harry called for the mechanic and he'd be arriving in an hour, Harry managed to reverse what he'd done to the van. He extended his senses and he could feel the cameras on him, he nonchalantly stretch and then knocked out the cameras. Harry didn't need training in the more combat related aspects of his quirk, he'd spent three years training the more subtle aspects. And that training was being used here.

The guard had sauntered back to his post. Touya took off towards a side door and knocked; Harry didn't hear what was said but Touya quickly hit the guy in the solar plexus before getting him in a sleeper hold.

Harry shook his head as he remained outside.

End Flashback

Fuyumi looked at them "Okay that's what Harry saw. Touya, what happened?"

Touya pinched his nose "I thought Harry was going to join me. But because he was the one driving the van, he needed to be the one outside."

Hermione pinched her nose "Touya what happened once you got into the building."

Flashback resumed

Thinking quickly Touya stashed the knocked out guard in a nearby cupboard, neatly stealing his card in the process.

With a swipe of the card, he entered the facility itself. It was definitely a hero storage facility as everything was neatly ordered and properly labelled. It made finding the suit materials no fun at all.

As Touya sheltered from one camera, he noticed that it was smoking. Brother mine, I think you've fried the internal cameras as well."

He made his way through the lightly guarded depot. When it happened as he opened the door to the suit materials room a bolt of fire nearly hit him. "We have a situation boss!"

"Waste him!"

Touya dodged another blast of fire "How about no wasting anyone!"

"What do you want!"

"I'm here for the Composite X." Touya yelled.

He had moved forwards, and the crew that were already in the building where a team of six clad in black combat fatigues were busily stuffing as much of the requisitioned Hero Suit Materials into duffle bags. "We don't care. You've seen us and now unfortunately you've got to die."

Touya groaned, why did people always have to choose this path, the path of being brutal? He was exceptionally good at it. Harry and Touya had been meeting for a few hours every so often, some of it had been information gathering but the majority of the time it was hanging out and training. And it was being put to exceptional use now, he channelled his quirk into the very tips of his fingers "Digital Burns!" That was the last coherent instruction Dabi gave as the other thieves opened fire with their quirks.

Harry's training mainly emphasised agility and speed, which Touya utilised to his fullest. He swiftly closed the difference, one happened to have a protrusion-type quirk but it didn't matter. During his time training, he'd learnt to generate a thin coat of flames to seriously burn his opponent.

The supposedly deceased Todoroki was amongst the opportunistic thugs like a cat amongst pigeons. Unfortunately, one of the people he took out had a fire quirk, nothing to fancy but Touya knew that fire quirks didn't have to be fancy to cause a shit tonne of collateral damage, knew he was on a clock. He swiped two empty duffel bags and two full ones; found the Composite X and swiftly began to load it. He thanked the heavens that his own flames had a self-destructive aspect on his own body. Otherwise he'd have been rendered unconscious by the thick fog of smoke as the suit materials began to catch fire.

With the Composite X, or rather, as much as he could claim, Touya was off. He propelled himself to his entrance with a controlled burst of his blue flames. Unfortunately, his own flames were at least ten times hotter than his father's and his fathers' flames were 100x stronger than the little firestarter. "When fighting fire with fire…things burn faster…shit." Touya thought as he rushed back through the depot.

It turned out that the moment the fire had started the clockwork heroes of his trainers, were beginning to pile into the premises. None of them noticed or if they did, paid much attention to him as he made his way out.

He made it into the parking area to find three pro-heroes knocked out. "And what was it that you said about not harming pro-heroes?"

He chuckled at Harry's deadpan expression.

End Flashback

There was stunned silence Hermione was the first to break it "Harry, I think…that was the most well-executed plan I have ever seen you formulate."

"I'm not sure whether to be insulted or complimented on my husband's evident hair-brained schemes actually working. I'm still trying to work out what possessed you to ROB a GOVERNMENT DEPOT." Fuyumi growled, cowing her elder brother.

"There's a small group of wannabe villains, the same group that attacked the USJ. Yes, I know about that; you forget whom my brother-in-law is sister. So of course I found out, Harry only confirmed what I heard from Moe."

Harry sighed "Who is Moe to you, Touya? Does she even know about what you're planning?"

Touya paused "She's also known as Burnin'...my fathers' second in command. She knows that I'm alive and that I'm being stupid but considering she's helping me remain under Endeavour's radar…Plus, I may or may not be…involved with her."

Fuyumi groaned and she looked at her brothers and husband "What is it with my family and stupidity."

"Fuyumi, did Harry show you anything remotely resembling sanity when you first met him?"

"Considering, I walked into his flat and found him guzzling pineapple juice in nothing but his underpants; yes I was attracted to him because my god despite the scars and the immense emotional damage done to him, Harry is and always has been a good man and nothing short of being a gentleman during the entire time we were dating…The fact he came house-trained was a bonus."

Harry kissed his wife on the neck, whilst the British Contingent let out whistles "Fuyumi if that were any of us making that comment we'd be seeing the School Medics. Harry's only said his formative years were shit and we've seen him throw enough electricity and a few lightning bolts when he was eleven to not push any further."

Harry looked at Touya "No-one's dead, and burning government building aside…this was a win. Now, Touya…you're next instructions…"

"Let me guess…kill a few thugs for hire."

"More or less."

Seamus looked at the burnt teen "Have we got an alias for you, in case we need to mention you in public?"

"Call me…Dabi."

Shoto and Izuku during the debriefing were turning incredibly pale "Sensei…" Izuku began, getting Harry to look at him.

"Yes?"

"What the fuck have Midoriya and I got ourselves into? If any of this is linked back to UA, and they grill us…we're looking at prison. We're aiding and abetting villain activity, assisting the establishment of a vigilante who is a deep-covert hero who is about to investigate the same group who tried to kill us."

"Welcome to Crisis management Baraquiel Style. Now get back to bed, you've got a long day of testing to do." Hermione instructed
