Heroic Father Figures

Power Dad

Higari Maijima aka Power Loader had just finished the new cooler that Iida wanted for his hero custom. The young man wanted to replace his old one after it was damaged when he was fighting a villain yesterday. Power Loader had happily accepted the offer to build the new cooler for Iida, after the latter had requested the former to do it instead of Mei Hatsume, still having a grudged for being used as her personal invention at the Sports Festival.

Speaking of Hatsume, the pink-haired girl was out of town with her family for a family trip the upcoming holiday. So that meant some peace and quiet for a while until his best student gets back. Sure Hatsume can be a little out of control at times, but she has skills that he had never seen. Higari knows that she'll do great one day. That is if she can learn to control herself from making explosions.

"The school year is almost over already. It sure felt that it just started," Power Loader said to himself.

Although it was mid-December, the Excavation Hero knew that March was around the corner. Hatsume and the others would be second years soon. Another year for them until they enter the adult world.

Power Loader couldn't help but wonder what kind of adults his students will become one day. He truly wanted them to be successful in life when they become a supporting agent in the future.

Just then, a knock on the door of the studio was heard. Power Loader went to see who it was. Believing that it was Iida who was knocking on the door to came and get his replacement cooler. However, when Power Loader opened to see that it wasn't the young Iida boy like he thought. A pair of beautiful and adorable green eyes that resemble lusty grass was looking at him. Soft, curly hair was tired in a yellow bow. Izuku Midoriya. The golden child of the Hero Course.

"Good afternoon, Sensei," Midoriya said, bowing to him. Her voice was sweet and gentle.

"Good afternoon to you as well, Midoriya," Power Loader said.

The Excavation Hero wondered what was she doing here. He soon believed that she wanted to have another addition to her hero outfit. Her green costume was kept getting upgrade a few times. Power Loader had to count the times that her custom needed something to adjust for her Quirk. One time, her custom was destroyed by a villain that send waves that melt non-living matter.

From what Higari heard, the villain was defeated by All Might, Eraser Head, Present Mic, and Snipe who were kind of angry. The male students were afraid to look at Midoriya from what they had just witnessed. And All Might was now retired from hero work.

"I was wondering if you could add a cooler in each of my shoes, too, Sensei?" The little green-haired girl asked shyly.

Even though the girl was getting comfortable with the teachers, the reveal of her dancing lessons was now known by the whole school, she tends to be embarrassed by it. While seeing her dancing and fighting style was now fused together, Midoriya didn't want to be known for her dancing. However, the teachers had often said that she a better fighter now because of it.

"Are your feet beginning to hurt again?" Power Loader asked.

It was a common fact that many ballerinas' feet will start hurt later in life. Midoriya did say that her feet were starting to hurt when she talked to Recovery Girl about her foot problems.

Midoriya nodded in embarrassment. Her entire face was soon blushing, making her look like a strawberry. It was adorable to look at,

"I'm sorry for asking you to make something like that, Power Loader-sensei," Midoriya said. She was hugging her bag the entire time since she was here.

Power Loader smiled, however. Truth be told, this wasn't the first that a student had asked something shoe-relating. Although not dancers like Midoriya, there were still students that have feet-related Quirks. Power Loader had always enjoyed making hero custom better to wear for the hero students.

"It's no problem, Midoriya. I've just finished Iida's cooler just now. Come on in," He said.

As soon as she entered the studio, Midoriya gave him the design for her shoes. It was well drawn out for both fighting and dancing.

"You know, Midoriya, this well thought out. Did you ever thought of becoming a supporting agent instead?" Power Loader said.

However, he noticed the sad look on her face when he said that. Thinking that he must have offended her heroism, Power Loader cleared his throat. He shouldn't have something that would have made this girl upset. Even though he didn't spend time with Midoriya since she was in the Hero Course, Power Loader had seen her Quirk analyze. It was amazing to see a young student figuring out the flaws and weaknesses with each Quirks they encountered. Higari was a little jealous of Eraser Head having taught this girl heroism. Midoriya would have been a wonderful student to have in the Department of Support.

"While let's to work on this," Power Loader said.

After checking on the final piece, Power Loader knew that it was almost finished. Midoriya was watching very closely. Normally, a hero-in-training gives him their design and leave. But Midoriya was still here and even offered to help out. It was nice. Having someone else in the studio. Hatsume was always the one that stayed in the studio the most. Plus, Midoriya didn't make the studio explode like Hatsume.

However, dinner soon came by. That the shoes would have to wait for the night. Higari looked at the little student who was sad but had a smile on her face. Showing that she was going to be patient to have the cooler.

"Thank you for letting me stay and help a little, Sensei," Midoriya said as she bowed.

"It was no problem, Midoriya," Higari said.

She gives him a very warm smile. Power Loader knew about her dad adventure with the other teachers. He was the only one that didn't get to be called by that title by her. But it didn't let it bothered him. Higari was still single and didn't have kids. His students were the closest that he could to have kids.

"The cooler would be ready for tomorrow for you. Also, tell Iida that his is already for him to pick up," Power Loader said, ruffling her beautiful, soft hair.

Midoriya blushed again, but this time it was a small one.

"Of course I will. See you tomorrow, Dad," Midoriya said happily.

The last word had caused the two of them to be frozen in place. Midoriya had no idea why she kept calling all her male teachers her father. She needs to tell her mom about this problem she was having. It was also a good thing that Todoroki didn't hear any of this. He would no doubt trying to figure out which one was her father. He already thinks that she's All Might's secret love child. She could only imagine if he was believed if she was one of the male teacher's secret love child. Her whole classmates would never let her live it down. Calling her the daughter of U.A. High.

"I'm so, so, so, sorry, Sensei!" Midoriya said. She was just glad that it was over. She won't have to call anyone dad now.

Before Higari could say anything, the little green-haired girl ran away. However, Midoriya had dropped her Quirk analyze notebook, not noticing that it fell from her bag and onto the floor. Power Loader gently picked it up and went through it. It was very impressive. When Iida comes here, Power Loader would have to asked him to return it to Midoriya for him.

Besides, Power Loader had finally had been called dad. The title that many of the teachers had given by a sweet and caring girl. Even Power Loader wasn't able to stop his heart from being fluttered.
