What if I told you... [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 16

I froze.

Dad slammed a hand on the coffee table,

"You can't keep denying the facts mom. (Y/n) is my daughter whether you like it or not." I felt hot tears make their way into my eyes. This is about me being quirkless again...

"It's fine dad. I'm used to it..." I ran upstairs and shut the door behind me. I took off my tie and blazer and went to shut the curtains when I saw Denki looking at me. I opened the window and he called over,

"Why are you crying?"

"Shitty grandparents."

"Wanna come over?"

"Sure, let me change." I closed the blinds and changed into jeans and a tank top, grabbed the key to my window and climbed out onto the roof, making the short jump over to his house and climbing in. If mom or dad came upstairs to check on me they'd know where I was.

"So. Dads side grandparents are over?" I nodded,

"Yeah. Grandma said some bullshit about the kid moms pregnant with being her first grandchild like I wasn't right there. I hate people sometimes."

"Want me to go over and taze her?" I chuckled, wiping the tears out of my eyes.

"She's sixty five years old and already has health problems. You'd kill her." Denki shrugged,

"Oh well, I was just trying to help."

"Subject change now. Who are you going to for your internship?"

———————————————————————————

I stood on the train, keeping one eye on Iida who was being pretty quiet.

"Are you exited at all? Normally internships don't start until second year." He looked up quickly from his phone,

"Hm? Oh yes." I sighed and sat down next to him,

"I'm sorry about your brother. But don't do anything stupid while we're in Hosu ok?" Iida nodded, a smile that seemed forced on his face.

"Don't worry about it (L/n). I'm a hero, I wouldn't go after someone just for revenge."

———————————————————————————

We made it to Manuel's agency and changed into our hero costumes before going to meet him.

"Hey there. It's great to have two relatives of pro heroes in my agency. Although (L/n) it says on this sheet your costume is a little different."

"They must have not updated it yet then, I just upgraded a few days ago." My costume was now a black sleeveless bodysuit instead of the shirt and pants but it kept the other stuff.

"Well that makes sense. Is there anything the two of you want to work on while you're here?"

"I would like to learn to become a great hero everyone can trust, just like my brother." Iida said and Manual nodded,

"What about you?" I thought for a second.

"I don't know. I've always thought I was pretty skilled in both hand to hand combat and staff fighting."

"Well is there anything you want?" I grinned,

"I want people to stop underestimating me."

———————————————————————————

Days passed. Most of the time it was either patrol but sometimes Manuel would go over basic tasks around the agency. I liked being there since he treated me like any of the other sidekicks and for that I was glad.

We were walking down in downtown Hosu one night and I was secretly answering a few texts from Denki when suddenly I stopped and so did Iida and Manuel. The smell of smoke was lingering in the air.
I looked up and saw a large white creature fly overhead.

"Is that a Nomu!?" I shoved my phone in my utility belt and looked around, "The league must be here!"

"Both of you stick with me. You can fight if necessary but try and stick to civilian rescue." I nodded and we all started running at some point I realized there was only one pair of footsteps and I skidded to a halt.

"Iida!?" I turned around and he was gone. "Manuel I think Iida ran off somewhere!"

"Go find him and come back when your done!" I turned on my heel and ran back the way we came. I kept running until I heard voices.

"Your a fake hero, just like your brother. That is why you must die."

"Hey!" I made my presence known and the hero killer turned to me,

"One of your friends Ingenium?"

"(L/n) get away! This is my fight!"

"I told you not to do anything stupid."

"Kid don't... he's too strong." I saw Native against the wall but turned back to the villain.

"I can't let you hurt someone who's so blinded by anger they can't tell right from wrong." I lunged for The Hero Killer, dodging under one of his blade and kicking him away from my friend. "I've been betrayed by this society enough to know how you feel. I've been let down by the people who call themselves heroes. But I didn't respond with violence. I decided to prove everyone wrong." I opened up my staff.

"Well congratulations. Your a true hero. Now move, I don't like people getting in my way." I saw a flash of green and smiled,

"I think you should stay right where you are." Midoriya came into view, punching Stain so hard he slammed into the wall.

"Midoriya!? Not you too!"

"Sorry Iida." I said, looking back at him. "But it was like I said, your too blinded by anger to think clearly right now." I looked back towards the hero killer, "I appreciate the comment about me being a true hero. So I want you to tell whatever little friends you have that you got your ass kicked by a butterfly...

Because this Monarch isn't going anywhere until everyone here is safe."
