"My baby/Aki!" Dad and Kazuki hug attacked me at the same time, tears flying from their faces.

"Quit overreacting you two!" Amaya was sitting on the couch doing what I assumed was homework. "She's not dead so you don't have to worry so much!"

"Can't- breathe!" I managed to squeak out from the two muscular men squeezing the life out of me. That's it. I don't die from the villain attack but from my own family. Let me rest in peace...

"Sorry! I was just so worried! Are you hurt?" Dad exclaimed and let go along with Kazuki. Dad immediately started inspecting me for any injuries. "What did you do to your hand!?"

"It's nothing rea- DON'T TOUCH IT!" I pulled away as he went to inspect my hand. Sure he may be in the top 15 heroes, but he's got to be the worst with injuries. Once Amaya scraped her knee and Dad was the one to try to take care of it, so of course, she ended up with a monster infection and had to go to the emergency room. I am not going to the hospital over this! He backed away with his hands in the air.

"Sorry! Is it okay though?" He asked, worry in his voice.

'It's fine. One of the villains got me-"

"WHICH VILLAIN!? I'LL KICK THEIR A** FOR HURTING MY LITTLE-" He screamed, and Amaya pointed her finger at him and a bolt of electricity shot out. I looked at Amaya as Dad fell on the floor spasming. I opened my mouth to say something but she cut me off.

"That wasn't any more powerful than a taser Aki. He's fine." And she went back to doing her work as our Dad wiggled around on the ground.

"At least she has more control over her quirk than you." Haru stated nonchalantly as he walked in the room. He was probably playing some game on his phone before and got interested in what was happening out here. I glared at him.

"Y-you didn't have t-to do that, Amaya." Dad cried out from on the ground.

"Yes I did or you would be going on a wild goose chase. It's not like you haven't done it before." Amaya continued. Man, she got really cool these last few weeks! At that moment, my phone buzzed on the coffee table.

"I bet that's Oogami asking to come over here." Kazuki guessed as he peaked at the screen. "Ha, word for word."

"Let me get it. It's fine, right Dad?" I asked him on the ground. He covered his face with his arm.

"Sure. You know she and Kagamime are always welcome." Dad confirmed. I picked up my phone and told her she could come. Right after the message sent, a knock was heard. I facepalmed. Walking over to the door and opening it, Oogami fell on top of me.

"WILL YOU PLEASE STOP DOING THAT!?" I screamed, and she was crying happy tears.

"I don't care if you're yelling at me, all I care about is that you're still alive! I had to see you! When Power Loader walked out, I didn't know what to think!" She cried, her tears landing on my face.

"Please get off of me." Was all I said in response. She happily complied and climbed off.

"Kagamime said she would meet us at Mr. Yoshido's!" She grabbed my right hand, and I flinched. "Oh sorry! I didn't realize..." She apologized turning away, seeing the bandages.

"It's fine." I answered getting up on my own. "We can go, right?"

"Don't you get hurt!" Dad waved his finger at us. That basically meant yes in Dad language. Oogami smiled.

"I have to get my bike first!"

****

The wind in my face always felt so satisfying. Since my bike didn't have any lights on it, Oogami used her quirk to make some for the time being. She told me that she learned a few little tricks from the other kids in the support course, especially this girl Mei Hatsume.
