Chapter 14

Running my fingers through my hair, I walk down the sidewalk with the twins close by my side. Kōri on my left, babbling to me about his recent play date with his older cousin Hiro, with Ryoku on my right making his Dynamight action figure fly through the air with a bright giggle leaving his lips. The two of them holding my hands so they didn't go far nor did I risk the chance of losing them.

With Shoto and Momo going out on patrol later than usual for the evening, I decided to take the twins out to the park to let them blow off some steam before buying them takeout (maybe a McDonald's or some pizza) instead of cooking dinner. Momo gave me permission to spoil them for the evening so we could get whatever we wanted.

As we arrive at the park, we walk down the path and head to the jungle gym in the middle of a patch of grass. The two boys race toward it, Kōri dashing toward the slide while Ryoku darts for the monkey bars as I sit down on a bench and relax. My eyes watching the boys to make sure they're being safe and they're not hurting themselves as they play around.

"(Y/n)! (Y/n)! Watch me!" Ryoku exclaims, jumping up and down as he stands by the monkey bars and hoists himself up, "Look! Look!"

"I know! Look at you go!" I beam, clapping my hands as the little boy goes from one bar to another, swinging himself across, "Well done Ryoku! You're so strong!"

"Yeah! I'm stronger than daddy! Grandpa says that I could be even stronger than him!" Ryoku exclaims happily as he pulls himself across the bars and drops to the floor before darting to the fireman pole, "I'm gonna be the best hero ever! Just like Uncle Kacchan!"

"I'm sure you will be, sweetie," I hum, giggling as Ryoku slides down the pole and goes to climb up the slide while Kōri is sliding down, "Ryoku, wait for Kōri to go down first,"

"Kōri! Move your butt!" Ryoku whines, bashing his hands against the slide while Kōri sticks his tongue out at him, "Don't do that!"

"I just did! Move you idiot!" Kōri yells back, blowing a raspberry toward his twin brother who narrows his eyes, "(Y/n)! He won't move!"

"You're such a snitch!" Ryoku yells, yanking at his brothers ankle to pull him down the slide making the boy yelp, "Quit being a butt and move!"

"Boys!" I scold, pushing myself to my feet and walk toward them, picking Ryoku up and setting him onto the wood shaving ground making him pout before he grins at Kōri as I pick the latter up, "If you can't play nice we'll go home and I'll cook soba and we won't get takeout, do you want that?"

"No..." the twins reply simultaneously looking down at the floor and holding their hands behind their back, "Sorry (Y/n),"

"You're forgiven, now apologise to each other," I reply, looking between both of them as they huff, "And hug it out,"

"Sorry," the twins groan, hugging each other with a small giggle as I poke their noses, "Can we play now?"

"Yes, go play, no more arguing," I tell them, ruffling their hair before turning back toward the bench and taking a seat. A smile on my lips as the boys head toward the seesaw.

As I sit down on the bench, I pull my phone out and open up my newsfeed. A giggle leaving my lips as Dynamight is still the talk of the media. People still won't let that go huh?... Shaking my head in disbelief, I flick through my phone, eyes roaming through the posts that the people I follow have pinned up (now being friends with a handful of pro heroes meant my feed was full).

"Get back here you shitty villain!? I'll kill you!"

Frowning gently, I look up from my phone and look around. My eyes scanning the park before tensing as I notice a rather muscular male running into the field right next to the park the kids and I are inhabiting. His narrow eyes set upon me and a sinister grin playing on his lips as he holds his hand out. My body suddenly feeling heavy.
