Earth Control In MHA

Chapter 3: Public

This is going to be annoying.

You see, I've been wanting to get some plants recently. My room at the lodge still has lots and lots of space for things, so I want to decorate it so that it looks nicer. Plus, I just really like plants.

Problem is, the plants I want are only sold in the city at some plant shops, so I have to go to public areas with lots of annoying people.

I know I could just ask my mom to get them, and she probably wouldn't mind, but I don't want to waste her time that she could use to save others. So I opted to just go and buy the plants myself.

At least I could get some good exercise by running to the city. After all, I couldn't use my Quirk without a license, so I might as well use it as some physical exercise.

The closest plant shop was a few minutes into the entrance to the city on the road leading there from the lodge.

It was called "Heaven's Garden". 95% chance that the owners are religious. That, or they thought that was just a good sounding name and went with it.

I only arrived to the city after an hour of running. Taking a short break to rest, I took out my phone to check Maps so that I could get a path to Heaven's Garden.

"Hey, isn't that Pixie Bob's son?!", I heard a voice say.

And this is one of the many reasons I hate being in public. Being the child of a hero is something that these annoyances never shut the fuck up about. It doesn't help that, this area being closest to their lodge, has lots of fans of the Wild Wild Pussycats, the team my mom's a part of.

I looked up from my phone to see what the annoyances looked like.

It was actually two people. A man and a woman.

The man had an average build, short straight brown hair, brown eyes, wore a white short sleeve shirt, grey shorts and sandals. He looked to be rather young, probably in his early 20's.

The woman had an above average build, medium length blonde hair fashioned to look like my mom's style, blue eyes, wore a t-shirt with the words "Wild Wild Pussycats" on it, jeans and sandals. She looked to be rather young as well, probably also in her early 20's.

It was obvious that the woman was a large fan of my mom's team. I mean, she even fashioned her hair to look like my mom's hairstyle. So it doesn't surprise me that she very quickly identified who I was.

Doesn't help that Mom really likes posting pictures of me online. She started doing that quite a while ago. Since I was 4. One of the most liked pictures I know is a picture of an 8 year old me that my mom took.

The only reason it doesn't annoy me to the point of telling her to stop is because this way, the public knows for a fact that she has a son and attention on me is something that's gradual and builds up, not something that happens instantly and becomes the only thing talked about because people seem to find it the most interesting thing in the fucking world to find out that heroes can, in fact, have children too.

"It's so cool to see you! I'm a huge, huge fan of your mother's work! She saved me and my family years ago, and she's been my favourite hero ever since!", she yelled, like a fucking banshee. It didn't help at all that she was super close to me.

"Come on, Tola, give him a little bit of space. He probably doesn't like you being so close to him.", the male said.

No, I just don't like her in general.

So, Banshee's name is Tola.

"Sorry for her enthusiasm. When she was really young, she went with her family on a mountain hike, but a rockslide almost killed her and her family. Pixie Bob found them and saved them all. Ever since then, she's been completely obsessed with her. She's pretty much her number one fan. Name's Haijo, by the way.", he said.
