13. You can't let father down!

I walked back, feeling a lot more comfortable with myself.

Before it felt as though my mother was torturing me without even being there.

Although I wasn't fully confident, I was taking adventuring out again a lot better.

It didn't take long to get back to Endeavor and Bakugo. They weren't saying anything to each other as we approached, in all honestly it looked like Endeavor wanted to tear off the younger boy's head.

Shoto cleared his throat to grab both of their attention.

"You all finished?"

"Yes sir." Midoriya and I responded. Bakugo just scoffed, folding his arms. Shoto just walked past him to the exit.

I lagged behind the boys. I still didn't feel necessarily like I fit into the group, and that I was just an unwanted add in. Bakugo made that fact obvious, but the other two were being kind. My father on the other hand, I couldn't figure out for the life of me.

"(L/N) what are you most exited for?" Midoriya asked, trying to rid of the awkward silence.

"I'm more nervous than exited.."

"Okay, then what're you most nervous about?"

I looked over at him with a dead expression. "It's hero work.. I'm sure it's all nerve racking for a newbie.."

"Ah.." He rubbed his head awkwardly. "You have point there.."

"Alright listen up." The pro hero boomed. "Crime has been on the rise recently. We're in the city that has some of the highest crime rates in Japan. Fair warning (L/N)."

'That doesn't help the nerves...' I blankly said internally.

"So what exactly is your quirk (L/N)?" Midoriya asked.

"Uhm well, it's basically a hybrid of sorts... I of course have my wings and can fly- shoot out feathers and such which I got from my mom. But there's also another part of it... from my dad.." the more I talked, the more my mood got brought down.

"It seems like you don't have a good relationship with your father." Shoto sounded. "I know that all to well." He added, glaring at the mentioned male ahead of us.

I glanced to the same man as well. "I guess you could say that. He just wasn't ever around for most of my life.. and I guess recently he has been trying to, but it doesn't feel like for the right reasons.."

"I'm sorry (L/N). That must be tough." Shoto said.

I waved my hand, creating an awkward smile. "I'm just happy he is finally coming around. It's always just been mom and me."

"I'm the same way (L/N). My mom raised me by herself. She's always been super loving and supportive." Midoriya added.

"I wish I could say the same thing about my mom.." I whispered to myself.

"What was that?"

"Oh nothing, don't worry about it!" I waved away.

"So what quirk did you get from your dad?"

"Right! So it's sort of like a fire bender of sorts. I haven't used it too much cause I haven't had a lot of time to train with it but I do know that I have a higher heat tolerance, and I can light my wings on fire and send out basically flaming blades cause of my feathers. It's kinda hard to describe..."

"That explains the red and black theme on your costume!" Midoriya shouted like he just found if some big mystery. "I thought it was weird you had like pure white wings yet such a dark themed costume."
