Fire, Ice, and Desire (Endeavor/Enji Todoroki)

Chapter 15: Team Up

*Angel*

We got photos of our baby, who was definitely growing faster than expected. The Quirk Specialist says he believes my pregnancy will only be 6 months, which makes it riskier than others. I'm only 6 weeks in but he says I may have to go on leave towards the end to help my body cope with the too-fast changes.

Enji decided that meant I should go on hiatus altogether. I declined that even though the Specialist says it may be a good thing to consider. I needed to keep protecting people as long as I can.

We left with a photo of the tiny bean in hand. Enji tucked it into his wallet before we made it outside. We were once again crowded by press. Aizawa met us outside of the office, falling into step with us.

"How'd it go?" He asked, eyeing us as if he was trying to read us.

"Good, she's healthy. We're just disagreeing on her work schedule. Doc agreed hiatus might be good." Enji rolled his eyes.

"We both know Angel. She isn't going to stop working." Aizawa chuckled, shaking his head. "She's too good. I can take a break from classes to patrol with you, Angel."

"No. I think I've proven I can protect myself. It's only four months. I can handle the next four months." I sighed, my phone ringing. Night eye agency?

Enji looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I shook my head and held up a finger, stepping to the side and answering my phone.

"Hydraulic speaking."

"Good afternoon, this is Bubble Girl. Night Eye has requested that we bring you in to team up on a rescue op. We're meeting tomorrow morning to go over the details." The chipper voice caught me off guard.

"I'll be there. Send my agency the details. Do I need to bring anyone?"

"No. All Might's retirement means we can't bring in Endeavor, if that's what you're asking?"

"Yeah, he's not going to like that." I saw Enji's curiosity.

"He'll be alright. He's number one and needed on the Patrols. We'll send you details tonight." She hung up quickly. I faced the two men, both curious.

"It was Night Eye's sidekick." I shrugged. "I'm needed for a mission."

"No." Enji frowned, clearly annoyed he hadn't been called first.

"I'll be there. She'll be safe." Aizawa spoke up, my eyebrows shot up.

"It must be high profile to bring you and I in..." I tapped my finger to my chin. Enji was tense, but held out his hand. I eagerly accepted.

"If it's so high profile, you shouldn't be there." He murmured, "Too much to protect."

"It's a rescue op, big guy. Protecting an innocent is the point." I answered. "Aizawa won't let anything happen to me. You know that."

"What if the league is involved?" Aizawa now seemed to side with Enji. "Many of my students are coming too."

"I'm going. That's the end of this conversation. If I must disclose my pregnancy to avoid being put in the wrong place, so be it." I didn't want to do that, but I would if I had to. Rescue ops that involved this many people meant someone really awful is involved.

"I need to be informed what's going on, Angel. I need to know you're being safe." In this moment, I wanted to call them back and say no. I wanted to give in to him.

"I know, handsome. Let me go and find out what the plan is. If it in any way seems like something I should skip, I will." I patted his chest and smiled. I knew it would have to be a rescue from the league before I'd willingly step down.
