The deed had been done. A small price to pay for a hero. Rei and Enji Todoroki were to be the parents of a symbol of hope and peace. Rei would be lying if she said she hadn't been excited to meet the child growing inside of her. But she was worried that this child may not be the masterpiece Enji wanted so bad. After all, a lot of things could result from a child of parents with opposite quirks. Most of all she was terrified of how her husband would react if the baby wasn't what he wanted. Would she take the blame? Or worse, would the child be punished for something they couldn't control? So many thoughts swirled through her head for the entire nine months the baby was growing. The day came when the baby was due. After agonizing labor the nurse showed her a baby boy. She smiled as she held him.
"Enji, do you want to-" She started.
"No." He said coldly cutting her off.
She looked back down at her son. Crying, red, so tiny, so vulnerable.
'Touya Todoroki. The hero, the new symbol of peace'
'Touya Todoroki, my successor'
