What if I told you... [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 35

TW: THIS CHAPTER CONTAINS THEMES OF SUICIDE

Work studies were a lot more fun than I thought. I'd hung around dad's agency and helped with small errands like making copies, handing out paperwork, and doing coffee runs before but never really like this. I was going out on daily patrols, I had my own paperwork to do, but I was still going on enough coffee runs that I was about to get mom to confront dad on his caffeine addiction.

Again.

Today however I wasn't going to my dad's agency, but a conference room downtown with Midoryia, Kirishima, Ochako, and Tsu since all four of them were doing work studies as well. We got there and I saw heroes from all different areas of Japan, The Big Three, and even Mr Aizawa.

"Hey dad do you know whats going on?" Dad had a bit of a grim look on his face but answered calmly.

"Sir Nighteye will explain everything soon. Go sit down." I did so and sure enough, Sir was at the front of the table.

"For the past two weeks the Nighteye agency has been conducting an independent investigation on a group known as the Shie Hassakai. They've been suspected of selling illegal drugs a couple times so we brought in a hero used to dealing with these kinds of things." Fatgum stood up,

"I squashed guys like them in my hayday. During Kirishima's fight Tamaki was shot with a bullet that temporally took his quirk."

"What are you ok!?"

"I'm fine Mirio. It wore off after a good nights rest."

"Anyways, one of the bullets bounced off of Kirishima. After investigation we found human blood and cells inside." I gagged and Mr Aizawa glanced at me,

"(L/n) are you alright?"

"I got shot with one of those things too so its gross thinking about how I got injected with someone else's blood and cells... also who would do something like that? If there's one thing I've learned, its that no one takes risks like that on themselves." Nighteye nodded and flipped to the next slide.

"This is the young leader of the group, Kai Chisaki's quirk is the same as his villain name, Overhaul. He can dismantle and restore anything. It is also known he has a daughter with no birth record. When my two interns encountered her, she was covered in bandages."

I felt a chill run down my spine at what this was implying and clearly Rocklock realized it too.

"Are you saying this man is using his own daughter to make quirk destroying drugs?"

"Unfortunately yes. It is unclear whether or not the bullets Tamaki and (L/n) were shot with are the finished product or just testers but if they are just testers than that means the finished drug would most likely be able to erase someones quirk permanently."

"All of this could have been avoided if your kids just rescued the girl in the first place." Rocklock snapped and I stood up, slamming my hands on the table,

"Ok I'd like to see you revert to a teenager, be faced with the leader of the Shie Hassakai, and be able to think rationally. Look at their faces, they didn't know what was happening to the girl."

"Don't pretend like you have any power over me me."

"Rocklock do not take that tone with my daughter. (Y/n) (L/n), if you cannot control your temper than I'm going to ask that you leave the conference room." I sat back down but I was only there for a few more minutes until all the interns, Big Three included were asked to leave the room.

We were out there for an hour while the adults talked and finally Mr Aizawa came out, along with my dad.

"Here's what's been agreed. The third years will join us because of their experience. The first years may join us, but if the League of Villans gets involved, your out."

"Sounds fair to me." I said and dad sighed.

"(Y/n) can we talk?" I nodded and followed him around the corner.

"You can't keep me from going."

"You know I can but that's not what I'm trying to do. Please promise me you'll be careful. I know you can fight and protect yourself but if you start acting recklessly I am going to tie you to the ground. Don't try and deny that you never do that, you are do much like your mother."

"Ok. I'll be careful."

"(Y/n)..."

"Is this about what happened in middle school?"

There was something that happened a couple years ago that only my dad knew about. Everyone else got a different version of the story.

The day after I was told to jump into traffic I was attacked by a villain and instead of fighting back like I was taught I let him attack and finally when I was on the ground and close to blacking out I told him to,

"Just go ahead and kill me..."

I thought he did but I woke up in the hospital. Worried as to why I wasn't home yet dad had gone looking for me.

And as it turns out he also heard what I said.

Dad sighed and I knew I'd caught him.

"A bit yeah. You think you're sneaky but your mom and I pretend to be oblivious but we know what you've gone through."

"I promise to be careful. I also give you full permission to, what was it, tie me to the floor if I'm not."

"That's all I ask."
