The school day is over and I decide to head back to my house. Bakugo decides to walk me home.

"You better delete those before you old man finds those messages." He states.

"Yeah I know." I reply trying to figure out how to hide the number without losing it.

"Surprised the creep didn't show. But next time don't go alone. Who knows who it could have been." He growls.

"Okay." I reply. We make it to my house and there stands my father in the front.

"Shoto, get inside your sister has food made and it's rude to let it go cold." He states. I nod. He stops me from walking into the house. "Are you going to invite your boyfriend to join us?" He asks, throwing me off guard. I look to him shocked and then look back to Bakugo.

"Would you like to join is for dinner?" I ask him.

"Sure." Bakugo replies sounding as surprised as I was.

"Excellent." Father replies and leads us into the house.

I look to bakugo surprised and held his hand. He looks to me surprised as well.

We make it into the dinning room and there stands fuyumi waiting for us. "Oh hello bakugo. Glad you can join us for dinner. Father and I would love to get to know you more since you and shoto are together." She replies.

"We are waiting for one more guest." Father states. And as if on cue, Hawks the now number 3 hero comes walking up to the table.

"Sorry for being late. Was finishing up at the office." He states. "Hey shoto, who's this?" He asks.

"This is bakugo. My boyfriend." I answer.

"Oh you're that kid with the explosions for a quirk and has a major temper. Kind of like Enji here." Hawks chuckles.

"Right well." Father clears his throat. "I was hoping Natsou would join us but of course he refuses to answer my calls."

"If you weren't so abusive...." I mumble.

"Care to share that mumble Shoto?" Father growls.

"No. Sorry" I hang my head in shame.

"Right. Well." He takes a moment. "This will come as a shock to you as it has to me." He states.

"Just spit it out Enji." Hawks whines.

"The league of villians have made a move. They are trying to recruit young heroes in training. Their main target, UA." Father states.

"How'd you get this?" Hawk asks.

"We caught the one named Toga trying to pretend to be a student from UA. An upper classmen." Father answers.

"Who?" I ask.

"Not too sure but it had to be one the kids that isn't usually noticed. Cause apparently she's been there for a month and was undetected." Father explains.

"Do you know what students she was going after?" Hawks asks.

"A boy named shinsou and I few others." Father answers.

"Wait, they want brainwashed freak?" Bakugo jumps in. "Knew he was a villian."

"Bakugo..." I shut him up.

"My guess is they want your friend Midoriya." Father adds on.

"The nerd? Why would they want deku?" Bakugo growls. "His quirk ain't that impressive."

I know bakugo is lying to pretend he doesn't know what quirk midoriya has.

"There were a few others but she won't answer. So I need you kids to keep a look out for your classmates acting off." Father replies.

"Was it just the Toga girl?" Fuyumi asks.

"In the school? Yes. Outside the school? No. They have others trying to recruit but I don't know who they are. I just know the one named Dabi was recently seen." Father states.

I freeze at this statement. Is Touya trying to recruit me? I look up at Father. "How do you know that?"

"He was seen with a student with a UA uniform. No one has released the name of the student yet." He answers.

I look away freaking out. What if he finds out it was me. He'd beat the crap out of me. And if this is touyas goal, what do I do? Do I trust what he says? Should I even believe my father?

"Hey?" Bakugo grabs my attention. "You okay?" He asks. I notice everyone looking at me. I feel the heat rush to my face.

"Uh yeah sorry." I reply.

"Either way. You two are going to be my eyes in that school." Father states.

"Should we alert all might?" Bakugo asks.

"No." Father answers. "Hes retired. This is for the real heroes." He adds.

I look to bakugo. I know he's gonna say something to all Might anyways.

"Right, well I need to use the restroom. Shoto, care to remind me where it is?" He asks.

I look to him confused, he's been here many times and now needs a reminder. I nod and lead him to the bathroom. As soon as we are far away from the others he stops me.

"Shoto, listen to me." He looks me right in the eyes. "Stay away from Dabi." He orders.

"How-"

"Who do you think gave your father part of that information?" He asks. "How do you think your name never came up? Everyone knows you. So how do you think you remind anonymous?"

"You saw-"

"Stay away. Trust me. You'll be safe if you stay away." He states and walks to the bathroom.

I take a minute to think on what Hawks said. 'Does he know who Dabi is?'

I return to the table to see my father and Bakugo having an actual civil conversation. I smile a bit, actually liking the scene I see but that doesn't last long, remember what waits after dinner.

After dinner, Father surprisingly didn't want to train. He went out on late night patrol with Hawks.

I decide to go take a shower. I start the shower and let it warm up. My phone goes off and I see another message from Touya.

'I need to tell you the rest about our father. Meet me tomorrow before school.'

I hesitate to reply, thinking about what Hawks warned me.

'Hawks told me to stay away from you.' I reply.

'I have dirt on Hawks and he's afraid I'll tell you and you'll tell dad.' He replies.

I notice the bathroom fogging up and look up and see my scar now stitches up like Dabis. Blood running down it. I gasp and fall to the floor.

I must have made a loud crashing noise cause Fuyumi starts banging on the door.

"Shoto? You alright?" She asks.

I stand back up to look again in the mirror and see my scar back to how it use to be. I sigh and reply to my sister. "Yeah I'm okay. I just slipped getting into the shower." I state.

"Okay. You sure you are okay?"

"Yes, thank you." I reply and get undressed for the shower.

I choose not to respond to Touya. I don't even know if I can trust him.
