Assassins Can Be Heroes Too || Todoroki Shoto

|54| Wanted: Kacchan and Riri

"What... do you want to know?"

Well... that was an easy question for him to ask...

"Who the fuck were those extras?"

And a hard question for me to answer...

"Illumi... is my cousin, he's turning eighteen pretty soon," she muttered, "and the other two were my parents..."

"So your entire family is made up of Villains?"

"Apart from my brother... and I," she hesitated. Bakugo furrowed his brows suspiciously at her slight falter.

"Right... and how the fuck did they find us?" She blinked. "Aizawa said that the camp would be changing locations cos of what happened at that mall and that nobody would be informed... so how the fuck did your cousin and parents find us?"

"I... don't know," she admitted. Bakugo made to attack her in irritation, though Shoto quickly and quietly informing them of somebody's arrival quickly shut the pair up.

"Come on out, Rie," sang her mother, the girl breathing heavily as she motioned for the trio to follow her. They turned, breaths hitching as they ran into yet another Villain.

"Run."

They didn't need to be told twice.

"Reyna, why aren't we running after them?" Illumi cocked his head, turning to his aunt.

"Illumi... those children need to realise..." the said woman sneered, "that they can't continue running."

"Rie... attending a Hero's school..." the man heaved, a snarl escaping his throat, "so that means she lied to me."

"About?"

"You haven't fired him yet?" he eyed Karma.

"No, sir," she muttered, pondering silently as her eyes wandered through the room, swallowing before she asked hi where her mother was.

"She'll be returning tomorrow," he answered curtly, "I expect you to be on your best behaviour, young lady."

"Yes, sir."

There was a tense silence in the room.

"And... you're in high school now, right?" her father gazed over at her, raising an eyebrow, "which school are you going to?"

"Shirana Academy," was the first school that came to mind, cursing under her breath, recalling that both her parents were well-acquaintanced with the principal of one of the only schools for Villains, "it's a good school."

"If not, we'd have to talk with the principal," he agreed solemnly.

"That bastard..." growled the woman.

"Now, now~" he sang, calming his wife down, "we just need to wait for the right time."

"I know, Ro..." she pouted, her hair covering her eyes, "but... I just can't help it, you two."

The males raised a brow.

"Can't help what, exactly?"

She gazed up, releasing her bloodlust in a sudden burst. She licked her lips in anticipation, her eyes sharp and feline-like.

"I can't help my desire to kill, and bathe in their blood~"

Turns out, the unfamiliar Villain from earlier had caught up to them, tracking them by their scent. The girl let out a low 'tch', her fingers itching to summon a blade. However, Mandalay's words rung in her mind as she inhaled, exhaling deeply as she watched Endeavor's son create yet another ice wall to block his attacks, while simultaneously arguing with Bakugo.
