Kobayashi Trauma

Chapter 9

(Later that night)
Shoto, Midoriya, Iida, Kirishima, Yaoyorozu, and I meet in front of the hospital.
"What do you think you are doing?" Shoto asks me.
"I'm going to get Bakugou. What do you think I'm doing?" I ask back.
"No you're not!" He raises his voice
"What? Are you gonna stop me?" I ask teasing.
"Yeah... Yes I am." he says with conviction.
"And how are you gonna do that?" I ask.
"Yeah, and why should you get to go if she doesn't?" Yaoyorozu asks.
"I don't want you around him..." He says
"What are you jealous?" I ask.
"Yes! You are mine! He is gonna steal you from me!" He yells.
"What! Am I just property to you!?" I yell back.
"Yes!" He says a little too quickly his mouth hangs open... "I mean no. I love you... I ... You aren't property... I just... He was the one you wanted by your side when you were sick... If you go to him now... You're... You are picking him over me." He says kinda sad.
"What are you saying?" I ask hoping he's not saying what I think he's saying.
"If you go tonight we're done... And I won't be going" he says.
"...Then I guess we're done." I stare dead into his eyes.
"You are really throwing this away for him?" He asks.
"No. You threw it away the moment you made me choose" I answer. Shoto leaves in a huff.
"So are you gonna make a locater or what?" Kirishima says to Yaoyorozu.
"She already made one" I say pulling a G. P. S. out of my pocket with the location my brother sent me. I grit my teeth and quietly say "I'll tell you later" to her. She gives me a questioning look and then nods slowly. We then take a train to Kamino ward in Yokohama. We stop at a store for supplies and disguises. Looking significantly older coming out that we did going in. I pull Yaoyorozu aside.
"What's the matter?" She asks.
"Can you make me a paint marker that looks like a real gun?" I ask.
"Yeah, sure, but why?"
"Just in case.. Don't worry about it" I say checking my pockets for my lockpicks. Pulling them out to make sure they're all there I catch Kirishima's eye.
"Why do you have lockpicks? Do you even know how to use them?" He asks.
"Do you even know how to use the night vision goggles you brought?" I snark.
"No but seriously do you know how to use them?" He asks again.
"Yeah. My brother taught me" I answer.
"Why does he know?"
"He wasn't always the good kind of popular" I say. Yaoyorozu hands me the paint marker and I hide it in my clothes. We follow the G. P. S. to a building that appears to be a restaurant of some sort, but it's locked. I pick the lock in just under a minute. Iida whispers alarmed.
"Why do you know how to pick locks... You're supposed to be a hero in training." I just shrug in response. As we enter the building.
"Momo, make a shield. As big as is manageable" I whisper. I continue whispering directions. I slowly peer around the door to see only Bakugou and Junichiro. I enter the room training my 'gun' on my big brother. "Call for help and I'll shoot" I threaten. Yaoyorozu takes the forefront. Kirishima uses his hardening and joins me in front of her. Midoriya and Iida break most of the chains on Bakugou. Except the ones on his hands which are too tough.
"Hey can you pick these? They're too thick." Midoriya asks.
"Sure" I go to hand the 'gun' to Kirishima, but Junichiro flicks a knife out knocking it out of my hand. Kirishima just barely catches it.
"Nice try Asshole." Kirishima says sarcastically.
"Had to try." Junichiro chuckles though his voice modulator. I move cautiously to pick the cuffs. Soon they clank to the floor. As we are heading for the door Dabi walks in cutting off our exit. I pull a gun with a silencer on it out of my coat. Shocked looks all around. I point it at Dabi.
"Oh, please. That's probably not even a real gun and even if it was you don't have the balls to pull the trigger." Dabi says confidently.
"Want a bet?" I say dropping the gun to aim between his feet. Pulling the trigger I can hear it cut though the air going into the floorboards. Then I aim back at his face. "Move"
"Where the hell did you get a silencer?" He asks.
"You should really check what your members are doing... And you got something on your face" I say pointing to the bottom of my chin. "What is it?" I lean closer. "You got a mole. Now get out of our way" he moves and we run out the door. As we leave I hear them calling for the others. Outside we see Endeavor.
"Are you about to mount a rescue mission?" Iida asks him. The man sees Bakugou.
"I assume I'm taking credit for this too. You sure kick up a lot of trouble." Endeavor says.
"We appreciate it." Iida says. We hang around hidden till after the attack. The villains disappear and an officer takes us to a police station after everything calms down. We watch a video feed of All Might and All for One fighting.

(A few hours later)
I'm walking with Bakugou after leaving the police station.
"I don't need to be walked home" Bakugou complains.
"I know. But I need to know you got home safe." I respond
"Who's side are you on?!" He yells after we get down a side street. He stops walking
"What do you mean? I'm on your side." I turn and look at him
"I know your brother is a villain..."
"I didn't know they were at the camp. I just had a bad feeling." I say
"So you knew he's a villain?" He asks.
"Yeah... But so was my dad..."
"How can you say you're on my side?" He questions.
"Why do you think I showed up tonight? Why do you think I'm in the hero course?... Because I want to be a hero. Because I want to help people. I'm not doing this for shits and giggles... Someone I care about was in trouble."
"What are you talking about?" He says slowly.
"I'm talking about you. I care very deeply about you." I confess.
"You shouldn't talk like that. You have a boyfriend."
"Well... Actually" I tilt my head and smile half heartedly. "We broke up..."
"What! Why!" He says alarmed.
"Reasons. It doesn't matter" I respond shaking my head. I walk him home and say goodnight. Wandering around I end up at a house party. I see a boy with white hair make eye contact with me. He walks over and offers me a drink. We talk and drink though the night. We end up back at his place.

(In the morning)
I wake up in a strange room with a barely remembered scent. A man walks in.
"Who is this, Haru?" The man asks. I shift, pulling my face from under the covers.
"Kobayashi" I say sleepily.
"She's sleeping in your bed but you don't know her first name?" The man says. He smells... Bad.
"Just go away, I'll be down for breakfast" Haru says laying next to me. I curl back into his chest. His arms are warm and safe. The man leaves. "So what is your first name? If you don't mind me asking."
"Akio" I answer. After a little while we go down stairs.
"Hey Akio, wanna stay for breakfast?" Haru says.
"Wait, your name is Akio?" The man says glancing at his wife.
"Yeah.... Why?" I ask warily. The woman comes over and gasps.
"It can't be... Our Akio?" She says. I know now why there were so many familiar smells... This man in front of me is my bio dad.
"Oh Akio..." He hugs me. I push him away.
"You left me!" I yell. "You abandoned me! I could have died!" Unchecked rage causing ice to form around my foot. He sees this.
"You have ice?.... I.... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you..."
"Wait..." Haru pipes up. "If he's your dad.... That makes you my sister.... Ewwwwww!"
"Gross!" I say. "You know what I'm out of here" I call Junichiro. "Hey big bro, can you come get me?"
"Sure where are you?" He asks. I send him my location. After a few minutes he shows up in a sports car.
"Wait you know Junichiro?" Haru asks.
"Yeah, he's my real brother" I answer.
"Who is this?" Junichiro asks.
"Oh, that's my bio dad and his bitch wife" I answer.
"You mean to tell me" Junichiro says getting out of the car. He walks over to bio dad. "That this is the asshole who left a little girl in the big city all alone with no one to fend for her" then he points at the man's wife. "And you, you US south side wannabe trailer trash asshole. You are probably the step mother from Hazel and Gretal. You probably hypnotized Akio so she couldn't use her ice" Junichiro rants. She looks ashamed.
"Wait... Did you?" Bio dad asks her.
"Maybe...." She looks at the ground.
"YOU WHAT" bio dad says though clenched teeth.
"You... You have no proof" she says.
"Just an educated guess... The lack of a quirk for years... The kicking her out for not having an ice quirk... The dreams she's been having. But no I have no proof..." Junichiro says. Ice runs up my arm and dissipates.
"Whatever... It doesn't matter. I want to go home" I say. Junichiro and I go home in the sports car. Once at home Junichiro turns to me
"Did you sleep within the gene pool?" He asks.
"No?" I say as I can't remember.
"Why don't you sound sure?" He asks.
"Oh, you know. The pounding headache. The sun is too bright, and I need an Irish coffee." I answer.
"Oh... One of those nights... You sure you don't just want some painkillers?" He asks.
"I don't know... Just give me something quick" I say trying to keep my head up.
"You sure you don't want to screw another brother?" Junichiro says joking.
"Aren't you gay?" I ask joining the game... He puts his hand on my chin lifting my head to make me look him in the eyes.
"When times get tough I'm not picky" he responds with a smirk.
"So I'm just the bottom of the barrel, huh?"
"No no no, you above bottom of the barrel... Heros are bottom of the barrel." He says. I pull my face out of his hand.
"Wow ok." I say laughing. Junichiro tosses me the bottle of painkillers and pours me a glass of water. I take 2, and down the water.
