Thunder Hero: Baraquiel 2
Todoroki Fuyumi staggered as she ploughed into the newcomer. The first impression was he was incredibly solid, then she felt herself falling but then an exceptionally short sharp burst of ozone.
All of this was accompanied by a sharp yanking sensation. She looked at the stranger had her books in one arm and had caught her with his arm across her back and one knee. "Damn, you're quick, what Quirk is that?" Fuyumi asked curiously, she'd seen some interesting
"And you're rather stunning. Are you okay?" Harry asked catching Fuyumi by surprise and blushing slightly.
"If the pair of you are done…Mr. Potter, I trust Miss. Todoroki will be a suitable tutor for yourself." Fuyumi's jaw dropped slightly in shock. She had to tutor! On top of looking after her baby brother and her father along with visiting her mother!
"If she's able to. Todoroki, are you sure everything is okay?" Harry asked, looking at the frantic seventeen-year-old.
"It's fine, it's fine. Not a problem." She replied, nodding to the Erasure Hero who then slouched off.
"I'm Harry, Harry Potter…Should have introduced myself."
Fuyumi grinned "Fuyumi, Fuyumi Todoroki…I don't mean to pry, but who is this? Oh, and here we tend to address each other by our Family names." Harry winced; he'd forgotten that.
"My Godson…It's a long story, long and short of it was either be a puppet, poster child to a corruptly ineffective or words to that effect Hero Department in Britain, after I had to clean up their mess…This stuff could be turned into a fiction book if it wasn't so plausible. Anyway, I said to them to 'Get stuffed' as the politest way of saying it and then, grabbed my Godson and ran."
Fuyumi stared at the teen in front of her "That sounds like it needs unpacking. Anyway, I'm heading back to my dorm…if you give me your number; we…can organise our tutoring." With that she held out her hand as if reaching for an object.
Harry looked at her "I…don't have a phone. In fact, I relied on Bird Post…I went to an Old School that was a castle, a proper medieval intact castle that was my high school and Hero Academy. It was so remote it was easier to use animals than modern tech, my god it was cold in Winter."
Fuyumi's glasses covered eyes widened "This sounds to good to be true. You sir, are taking advantage…" She declared pointing her finger at him.
"I swear Todoroki, on my heart and on my Quirk that I'm telling you the truth. I even have evidence."
He did. As Harry dragged his and Teddy's luggage across the campus with Fuyumi holding his Godson. Harry managed to get a brilliant image of his Godson subconsciously mimicking the hair colour. "He likes you…huh, it seems his mothers part of his quirk is already active."
Fuyumi cocked her head "His mother's? What about his fathers Quirk?
"His father had a lunar powered quirk, but due to a virus given to him by a villain with a shape-shifting quirk and numerous counts of paedophilia and other charges…altered it." Fuyumi gulped.
"The villain?"
"Oh…dead. Very, very dead. I'm pretty sure a solid silver hand through the ribs, collapsing the ribs and hitting the heart, whilst also removing the heart from the body is a killer."
Fuyumi turned pale and slightly green "What…what…happened to you? You're my age and you sound like you've…killed. I'm not judging, just want to know what I'm getting into! Oh gawd daddy is NOT going to be happy."
"Todoroki, breathe…in through the nose and out the mouth. Rinse and repeat." Harry instructed, by now they reached a few of the apartment buildings where a tall masked hero was waiting for them in a tanned trenchcoat.
"Mr. Potter, Miss Todoroki…nice to see you've become acquainted. Mr. Potter, this is where you and your Godson will be staying for now. You are free to have any guests you would like here, providing we are informed before-hand." Ectoplasm said before saying Nezu would be around later to finalise things. That left the two teens with bagged, just outside his apartment.
Harry nodded "You wanna come in and we can talk more inside?"
Fuyumi blushed slightly "Please. We also need to discuss a timetable for us to meet."
Harry nodded "I could come to you."
Fuyumi cocked her head "That…might not be the best idea. My dads kinda intense."
Harry nodded as he tapped into the electrons on the luggage and floated it all into the empty living room. After it lowered, Harry handed Teddy over, who started to moan slightly in discomfort. If somehow smelling or even feeling his Godfather's pain. White hot pain! Pain like knives had been driven into his brain, his eyes glazed over from the pain and blood rushed out of his nose and ears.
Fuyumi, watched as Harry managed to stand up again "What's wrong? Is it your quirk? Speaking of what is it?"
Harry groaned slightly "Yes and no. It's an unprecedented, electrokinesis/electrokinetic quirk."
Fuyumi's eyes widened "That's…big…side-effects?"
"Salt levels, nerve-damage; both self-inflicted and inflicted, nausea in essence everything and anything that can be attributed to being struck by lightning, over exposure to heat and cold."
Fuyumi gulped "That's…bonkers…wait, you mean you can create ice and fire?"
"To an extent. I can also screw with magnetic spectrums, weather patterns…not to the extent people think. So, no thinking I can do Storm Hero: Storm or even the Mighty Hero: Thor style shenanigans at least…not without some severe repercussions. Repercussions that I can ill-afford to have."
Fuyumi nodded "In essence you have an ungodly powerful lightning quirk that whilst very impressive and showboating, causes painful and dangerous kickbacks to your body. Surely you have a safe-limit?"
Harry snorted derisively "British Heroic Association or Department of Heroics in Britain are unfortunately of the mindset of really not liking people who fit their ideas of being clockwork heroes. They hate me, to the extent of trying to rob me of my inheritance because I will not bow to them. They tried to rob me, I hit them with the lightning. I quickly found myself in the mindset of 'Hit everything with electricity and lightning, if it moves, rinse and repeat. Or throw enough lightning everywhere and make it someone else's problem.' Didn't help that I had a villain and his minions after me for some reason, anyway with no help from the government to deal with the terrorist threat I quickly decided…"
"A good terrorist is a dead one and subsequently dealt with the problem yourself. Then I'm guessing they were offering you licencing and work or prison. You told them to electrocute themselves and came here."
Harry nodded "That's the gist. Now it's me and my Godson, hopefully his Grandmother as well."
"Where's she?"
"Alive, I hope. Coming here, I hope. Tying the BHA or DH up in litigations, lawsuits, libel, slander and various other bits and bobs. Or she's dead. The last part wouldn't surprise me as BHA dislike those who shelter heroes who will not kowtow to them."
"And if they come here?"
The distinctive crackle of energy in her new acquaintance's eyes revealed the truth. She cleared her throat "Anyway, I am not sure of how much you know or don't know so I am going to get some standardised tests from the staff, to see what I am working with."
Harry nodded "Sounds good…Anyway, tell me about yourself. Mind if I walk you home?"
Fuyumi blushed slightly "Er…sure…Anyway, I'm Todoroki Fuyumi, but you knew that. My father is the Number Two: Endeavour and I've three brothers; one was elder and two younger."
Harry's eyes widened "Now that sounds like an interesting family dynamic." He had spoke too soon, he found himself getting paler and paler at how the famed Number Two Hero, treated his family.
"So that's my family."
Harry was pale "What would I guy a like me, do to save you and your youngest brother?"
"Not much as of right now due to you and I only knowing each other. Harry, please…don't do anything rash."
Harry stopped "You're right. I'm still going to escort you home, then I'll think of something."
Fuyumi smiled behind her glasses at him "You're sure? My father is rich and powerful."
Harry smiled at her, instead of his half-hearted ones that his friends thought were his real smiles this one was genuine. "Money and influence don't bother me. I am only concerned about people's actions and responses."
They arrived at the train-station, rode the line for ten stops. They disembarked and Fuyumi stopped. Standing just outside the station was a tall, sturdy-built man with a very impressive physique, clad in black well-fitted trousers and in a dark red burgundy work shirt. "Fuyumi."
"Father." Came the reply. Harry who had been watching her father, his attention was on her. Harry knew he had been abused and new concealed emotions as he did it. "She's scared of her father!"
"Whose he?"
Fuyumi looked at her father "He's a transfer…I'm tutoring him."
The man nodded, turned and opened the door for her "I'll see you tomorrow?" She asked.
Harry nodded, nodded to Endeavour before jumping on the train. "What do you know about him?"
"His name is Potter Harry. He's seventeen and guardian to an adorable toddler. He was or is a Hero-in-Training, he's got an extremely powerful Quirk…and…he's very skilled with it."
Enji nodded "Well? What is it?"
"Electrolysis, the generation and manipulation of electricity."
Enji nodded, that could be a very powerful quirk. Both to make his own by marriage and one to oppose. "Find out what he intends to do. If he intends to become a hero, let him know I have an open invitation for him."
"And if he doesn't?"
"Keep an eye on him…I…do not trust the Hero Commission."
"I have your permission to tutor him?"
Enji grunted "You have my permission to tutor him and do whatever else is needed to keep a thorough eye on him."
(Dabi)
Dabi, finished his drink and headed onto the train. Fuyumi was safe, for now. However, Dabi had been paying attention. He had seen the green-eyed teen, seemingly observing disinterestedly in Enji's direction. Dabi cocked his head; it seemed he'd need to have a chat with him.
Dabi, got onto the train. Pulled his hoody up over his head, the last thing he needed was extra attention. The teen jumped off the station after ten stops, so did Dabi. However, as Dabi trailed after him, he quickly realised something was wrong.
(Harry)
He cursed. He should have been more careful! Now someone was following him! His mind began to calculate strategies, he darted down a side-street. Hid behind a sharp-turn, and began to count.
Eventually the tightness in his chest subsided. He counted to ten and began to head back into the crowded streets. He thought he'd lost his stalker, however that wasn't the case.
(Dabi)
Dabi let out a sigh of frustration. The person was good! However, Dabi was better. Since he'd staged his death and ended his time as Todoroki Toya, he was now free to scheme and plot; but that didn't mean he didn't care about Fuyumi and Natsuo. This teen was a variable that he wasn't sure about. His palms twitched and blue flames appeared. Dabi quickly quelled them and slid into a side alley. Just behind his prey.
His right hand flicked and the feeling of heat appeared in the alley.
(Normal)
Harry felt the heat as he was about to turn into the high-street. He spun his hands wreathing themselves in electricity. "Now why are you following me?" The stranger he was looking at, looked like he had a very powerful yet self-destructive Fire quirk.
"The Todoroki Family, what is your involvement with them?"
"I…just know the daughter. Head of the house looks like he requires several operations to remove whatever cactus and bilge hook is stuck in his ass." The lightning intensified as did the flames.
Harry now managed to get a good look at his stalker. His face was burnt in several places; so badly that it now looked rubbery and leather-like and was held together by metal rings. He was slightly shorter than Harry, who would possibly just hit 6'0. However, what unsettled Harry was just how either ignorant or lack of concern his opponent had about his own body. "You okay?"
Dabi looked at his victim. His eyes widened as the intended victim spoke. "Fine…"
"Bullshit. What's your name? I don't give a shit if it's the first thing that comes out your mouth or what."
"I, go by Dabi."
"Well, Dabi…are we throwing down? Or we could get a drink, you look like a guy who needs one and we can talk."
Dabi stopped "That's a good idea…Depending on our talks, will depend on how we walk away from this…situation."
"This situation being, the fact that I'm friendly with the Todoroki Family?"
"That you're in proximity to Todoroki Enji, The Flame Hero: Endeavour."
Harry's eyes widened "So that's who she meant by her dads powerful and rich, and being the Number Two Hero. Bit stupid…Just puts a target on her and her younger brothers backs."
Dabi smirked slightly "How much do you know about the Todoroki's?"
"More than I'd like. I know Fuyumi had an elder brother…"
"Has…an older brother. I believe the report said 'no body was found'. It's a public case."
Harry stiffened "You…you're the 'dead' Todoroki."
Dabi smirked causing his skin to shift, distorting his face slightly "Todoroki Toya, at your service."
"Harry Potter…Tell me Todoroki, am I to die or are we going to drink?"
"A drink sounds good. I'll get, you pay."
Harry followed after the young Todoroki "Only you Harry. Only you can go from killing to drinking…"
The pair crossed the road, Harry was grateful for the fact that Aizawa was living above him and was secret baby fan and had offered to baby-sit Edward as he went out. "Dabi…Usual?"
"Two…Make that Three. Afternoon Jin."
"Hey Dabi, Fuckoff Dabi!" Came the double response.
Dabi blanched slightly "Jin makes Doubles of himself…"
"And it screws with him psychologically. Probably under a mask makes him feel 'whole'."
The aforementioned Jin joined them "You're sharp kid…what are you? Hero in training? Mercenary? Copper?"
"Hero trained. Never completed it. Now if we're here for the long session, let me contact my…minder…Just so he knows what's happening."
"How so…"
"I've…responsibilities…things that if divulged here and now gives you two potential leverage over me."
"He's good…Very good. He sucks…he's awful."
Just then Dabi returned with three bottles of lager "To tense talks and discussions."
