Never

19. The Aizawa juniors

PDV d'Izuku

          We had just left the crime scene — whose crime though... — not even two minutes ago, quickly disappearing away from the crowd, without a word, both lost in our own thoughts, when someone yelled behind us.

?? : Kita ! Wait !

          The girl jumped and swiftly turned, smiling upon seeing a boy our age with purple hair as crazy as mine.

The girl ( Kita ? ) : Toshi ! Are you all right ? You weren't caught in the flames, were you ?

          The boy ran to us, stopped before the girl, then flicked her on the forehead. She meowed while getting away from him and holding her forehead, sending a death glare to her attacker. I stayed on the side without a word, trying to understand what was happening.

The girl : Ouch ! What for ?

The boy : For playing with your prey when you could have ended the fight in two seconds flat ! Did you really have to let him wound you ?!

The girl : I didn't do it on purpose, and I'm long past counting my scratches, one more or less won't change my life. As for the explosive dandelion, I just didn't have the time to dodge, but if I didn't make him participate he might have screwed things up. Moreover, Greens often have a fragile ego, especially those who feel the need to yell all the time.

          Huh ? So she could have beat the sludge villain quickly and without any problems, but took the risk to be hurt just to include Katchan ? But then...

          It risked asking a question, flinching when they turned toward me.

Me : Does that mean... that you asked me for help... to include me ?

No, it cannot be, who would do such a thing ? Who would put themselves in harm way just to help someone, an unknown White, to feel included and important ?

The girl : Me it seems. Yes, you were mumbling again. And yes, I wanted to help you gain confidence in your abilities, but it doesn't mean that your analysis was useless, on the contrary. And I'll say it again : you have amazing analysis skills, and are extremely brave.

Me : No, I never dared standing up to any one, and I didn't even know what I was doing, my legs

Both of them : Moved on their own ??

Me ( surprised ) : Euh, yes.

          They smiled, clearly amused.

The girl : Apparently, all the great heroes debuted very early, and all were saying the same thing when asked why they acted : « I didn't think, my body moved on its own ».

The boy : As our therapeutic dog would say : « you have the heart of a true hero, it isn't your quirk — or lack-of — that defines you, you just have to find your strengths and do with them, while compensating your weaknesses and more importantly, to believe in you and those around you ».

The girl : Wow, Toshi, if Psy Dog could hear you he would be proud of you !

          He smiled, in a slightly proud and mocking manner, but without the superiority of Katchan's. Then a phone rang and he went to search his pocket.

The boy : Hi dadzawa.

?? : ...

The boy : Ok, I'll tell her.

          He hang up and turned to the girl.

The boy : He said, I quote : « Get your reckless peabrain of a sister and wait for Nemuri to bring you back to school, with the broccoli. If even one of you try to escape before the old hag have a look at you, I'll make you lives hell until the entrance exam. And tell Kita that she will be on chores duty for the next three months. »
