Pack Means Family

Saving Their Pups

Aizawa felt the tension in his neck and shoulders as he took in the despondent child stand in front of the woman. His hair was limp and looked filthy, but also like someone had roughly run a brush through it. His skin was either dirty or very bruised and battered. His eyes were dull and locked on the floor. The clothes were worn and far too big for the size.

Yamada looked past him and growled at the state of the child, especially when he spotted the signs that the poor kids was well underfed. "Alpha..."

Aizawa's eyes didn't leave the child. "Talk, mate," he growled back.

"Pup...hurt...smell blood...see bones..." Yamada managed through his growl. He kept hold on Hitoshi who was staring at his friend and whimpering.

Aizawa's eyes, which he could tell now terrified the worker, slowly moved up to her face. "Why does my mate smell blood?"

The woman hesitates. "He..Izuku fell earlier," she attempted.

"Lies," Yamada snarled. Aizawa glanced down and noticed there was an edge of feral in his mate.

"Izuku," Aizawa called gently, frowning when the child flinched. "I'm sure Hitoshi would love to say hi."

That head jerked up and Izuku's eyes widened. He spotted Hitoshi and lunged forward with a desperate cry. The worker's fingers remained locked onto his shoulder, keeping him just in front of her. The whimper was enough to set Yamada off.

Aizawa side stepped as his mate left Hitoshi just behind his legs and lunge at the woman. The raven-haired hero smirked as Yamada snatched her wrist and wrenched it off the child before slamming her, headfirst, back into the doorframe. Dark eyes watched Izuku duck down and scramble to Hitoshi who pulled him tight.

Expert ears picked up soft, broken sobs and the attempts at comforting sounds from the two children. Aizawa easily moved so he was standing between them and the workers. He didn't try to stop his mate as the blond continued to snarl and pin the worker to the doorframe.

"HE'S A CHILD! YOU DO NOT TOUCH A CHILD LIKE THAT!" Yamada snarled viciously. "YOU KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF OF HIM! MY PUP!"

The larger woman kept back in the room, terror on her face as she held a phone to her ear. Aizawa smirked as he heard pounding footsteps on the stairs. Now it was his turn to protect his pack. Aizawa turned and dropped into a crouch in front of the boys.

"Hitoshi," he said gently, catching the kid's attention. "I want you and Izuku to stay against that wall. I give you permission to bite anyone who tries to touch you except my mate or I, okay? We are not going to let them hurt Izuku any further."

Hitoshi nodded and managed to get himself and Izuku back against the wall, watching in awe at the two adults that were protecting them.

Aizawa turned and faced the stairwell, smirking as the head caretaker and two large police officers appeared...one of who he recognized.

The head caretaker glared. "Officers! I demand you remove this...this beasts from my building! They're hurting my staff and scaring my charges!"

"Hey, Gori," Aizawa said. "Mind calling for backup? It seems we have some illegal practices happening here."

The large officer, size related to his Gorilla style mutant quirk, stared at him. "Eraserhead? What's going on? Why is your mate trying to kill that woman?"

"Oh he's not trying to kill her," Aizawa smirked. "He's just gone Mama Bear on her. See those two behind me?"

The large head nodded, taking in the two children cowering in the corner. "They yours?"
