Hades

Anime: My Hero Academia
Pairing: Hotwings (Touya Todoroki x Keigo Takami)

WE'RE BACK AGAIN! Sorry to yell, welcome to the third part of this Hotwings obsession. I have picked up so many ideas, a story about Touya as a Pro Hero (this is actually how he got his start), a quiet evening for our favorite couple, I've also thought about picking this up to be TodoDeku centric so that Izuku can meet Touya, but we're watching from Shouto's side of the story. 
Reminder that this is just how Touya got his start as a Pro Hero.

After five years of recovery, Touya Todoroki had finally taken his step into the spotlight. He had started as an Underground Hero, working in the shadows, taking down small-time villains or criminals. By day, he was Touya Todoroki, just a normal person for once in his life, a brother, fiancé of the Number Two Hero: Hawks, a moviegoer, a grocery shopper, just a normal person.
By night, he was Hades, named for the resemblance of his fire to the god in the Disney movie. (Yes, he knows Hades is an actual god.)
Well, that was until he stepped into the spotlight, backing his youngest brother.

Screams came from down the street as Touya was walking the opposite direction to florists, on his way to pick up a bouquet for a special evening with his favorite avian. He whirled his head and took a brisk stride towards the shifting crowd, his blue sneakers padding against the grey pavement. An explosion came echoing in his ears as he neared the downtown bank where the explosion had happened. Flames crackled across the rubble, and something slick lined the road, ice.
He inched closer, attempting not to fall on the ice, only to see his youngest brother, Shouto Todoroki cracking ice on the explosive villain, holding a hand to his face.

Shouto locked eyes with him, something in his mix-matched eyes said not to engage. Touya shook his head and set it into action.

Something inside Touya snapped, seeing his brother in danger. He jumped forward, lighting his hand up, pushing the dazzling blue flames against the villains back. Shouto jumped away and forced his ice at the villain's front, leaving their body in shock.

Police ushered in on the scene, cuffing the perpetrator before getting them to first aid.
"Shouto are you ok?" Touya asked once they have moved away from the scene. "Touya, this is the daily for me, you can't worry so much, but yes I'm ok," Shouto responded.
"Get ready for reporters," Shouto said bleakly as violent camera flashes met his eyes.

Reporters shouted left and right at Shouto, asking what went down at the scene if anyone was hurt, what would happen to the perpetrator.

"Excuse me, sir," a female reporter said as she approached him. Her auburn hair waved in the fall wind, her leather jacket clinging to her body, enchanting amber eyes trained on his. An olive green skirt accentuated her hips, stockings, and a pair of chunky black boots adorning her legs.
"Oh, I'm sure you don't want me," Touya responded, ruffling his hair into place.
"No, I do. You're a new face in the daylight. I've been covering your night time business," she commented casually.
"So that's how the reports ran on television," he thought to himself. The cameraman behind her trained on his face.

"What should we call you?" She asked.
"Hades."
"Alright Hades, tell us about what happened at the scene of the crime."
Touya complied as Shouto was still being interviewed.
"You have a striking resemblance to Pro Hero Shouto over there."
"We're actually related, I'm his eldest brother."
"Interesting."
"You have a quirk similar to that of Dabi, that villain from about six years ago."
That struck a chord in Touya, he clammed up, not knowing what to say.
"We all know he's gone into hiding or dead, we haven't seen him arise in years," Shouto butted into his interview.
"I suppose you're right. Well, thank you gentlemen for your time." With that, the duo was off.

"They're gonna put me on the mainstream news aren't they?" Touya asked.
"Absolutely, six o'clock, channel sixteen."
"How do you deal with it all?"
"You get used to it."
"Of course you'd say that," Touya said, rolling his eyes at his brother.
"Do you think you'll join an agency?" Shouto asked as they made their way back to Endeavor's agency.
"Not under the old man, but I'm not sure. I'll talk it over with Keigo tonight.
"Well let me know if you need help getting in anywhere," Shouto offered.
"I will little brother, you stay safe," Touya said, giving his brother a hug and parting ways before his father caught him hanging around.

He had reluctantly made peace with his father about two years ago, but he still avoided him as much as he could, much like the rest of the family. He avoided that memory as much as he could, not wanting to give in to his father's potential manipulation.

"Babe is that you?" Keigo's voice called through the apartment as Touya shut the front door.
"Yeah! How come you're home so early?"
"Low trouble in my patrol area, I only had one today," Keigo said as he met his fiancé at the door front he living room.
"Ha, low trouble," Touya chuckled.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Just wait till six, channel sixteen."

"Earlier today at 1:07 pm, a criminal is known as Bomb attacked the Mission and Carlton bank in downtown Musutafu. Damage done to the property is being paid by the city council. Luckily Pro Hero Shouto and a new coming hero known as Hades stepped into the scene."
Touya and Keigo sat cuddling on their grey suede sofa, keeping their eyes trained on the television as footage of the attack played, the sun setting outside of the floor-length windows.
The television played an interview with Shouto and then the one with Touya.

"So you really stepped in like that and put yourself out there?" Keigo asked.
"Yeah, I guess I did. Seeing Shouto in danger just struck something in me, reminded me of all those times I couldn't protect him as a kid."

"I'm thinking of joining an agency," Touya continued the conversation.
"Seriously? What happens if you have an episode on the job or a panic attack?"
"I guess that's a danger I'd have to deal with. I mean I already have my license, there's no reason I couldn't."
"There's also no reason you couldn't stay underground," Keigo retorted.
"I just feel the need to do something more. Maybe I'll start low-key, a smaller agency."
"That would make me feel a lot better about this if this is really what you want," Keigo said, pouring his golden eyes into Touya's aquamarine ones.
"This is what I want. I think I'll be able to handle it. Years of sparring with you and Shouto have probably prepared me enough."
As much as Touya didn't want to hurt his loved ones and rarely ever used his quirk around them, he loved the martial arts aspects of fighting and still had fun sparring as long as he didn't go into an episode.

"Then I'll support you no matter what," Keigo said, meeting his lover's lips with a soft gentle kiss.

"So much for our special evening," Touya commented.
"I think this is special enough, and definitely a cause for celebration," Keigo said with a mischievous smirk in his eyes.
"Champagne?" Touya asked.
"Champagne and dancing," Keigo winked, Touya knew all too well what "dancing" actually meant.

Hello, thanks for dealing with this. This is far shorter than I was expecting, but hey it happens. I'm so terrible at writing action, but this gives a good set up for the finally Hotwings centric piece of this thing. I'm trying to add some more details to this since I've kinda left you all floating with the setting, but I imagine if you're reading this you've seen MHA and have a good understanding of what things look like.
For those of you that look forward to my actual projects and such, I've got a new one coming, probably super soon. I just can't find a good way to keep working with what I've got so far as I can with this. Anyways I think I'm done here, you can probably expect another one of these fics sometime soon, if not tomorrow.
