I have to sit in the middle seat between Bakugo and Todoroki! Honestly, I should have just stayed there and asked Patchy to pick me up so I can fly back! BUT NO, I DECIDED TO BE SOMEWHAT LEGAL AND RIDE THIS HELL!

Whatever. I only have to be in this car for ten more minutes, and then I can begin my hour trek home. Lord knows I have tea to spill.

Endeavor is talking to his normal students, so I am ignoring him and focusing on texting Shouta before he heads out on patrol. He's not exactly happy that I'm out this late, so I'm having to keep him updated. Such an overprotective brother. You would think that he would stop worrying about me since I survived hell, but nope.

While I am typing a response back, Bakugo leans over and front of me, covering my phone as he yells, "IF YOU'RE THE NUMBER ONE HERO, GET YOUR HANDS ON A BIGGER CAR!"

Before Endeavor can respond, our driver SNAPS at Bakugo, "Oh, so a free ride is not enough for Mr. High Schooler! Endeavor, since when did you start bringing brats like this one for the ride?!" GO OFF, KING!

Endeavor bluntly responds, "Ever since I was put on the top."

"Zounds! So success really does change a man!" I don't understand that, but I'm just happy he snapped at Bakugo. Then, out of nowhere, something white flies right in our face, and our driver swerves to the side to avoid it, "ZOUNDS!"

I turn around to look out the back window to see what that is all about.

"Natsu?" Shoto says with concern.

Well, shit, Natsuo is tied up with what looks kind of like Shouta's scarf. However, it's thicker and whiter.

I hear the driver yelling at Bakugo to get his head out of the window, so I just grab Bakugo's collar and pull him back in. In front of us, the street lines lift up around us to try and trap us. In addition, the man in charge, who looks like sans but with more stripes, is just standing in the middle of the street, and we are barreling right towards him. I don't even know how the driver swerves out of the way of that one, though I feel like hitting him would not have been the worst thing in the world.

Endeavor blasts out of the car to chase after him while the car is still moving. The driver is forced to slam on the breaks, and the car gets covered by those stupid white lines. Thankfully, Endeavor did leave an opening for me to crawl out of. For once, I thank my small size.

I crawl to the front seat and through the window, ignoring Bakugo's screaming as I rush in.

I have a lot of thanking to do, and this time, it is Shouta for getting my capture scarf fixed after the whole villain scheme.

I whip the scarf out and get it wrapped around multiple white lines. My hope is that I can stop the control temporarily to them if I am holding onto them. However, I do one better when I end up breaking them apart from the grip alone. That means I don't have to sacrifice my scarf today!

I look ahead to see what Endeavor is doing, and he is just talking to the villain? Bitch, you could have caught him by now! Just go in and do your thing! The only difference is that Natsuo is in there with an arrow to his head, and he'll just go rolling once the villain is knocked out! You're fast enough to beat that, Endeavor!

The villain starts retreating, and Endeavor goes after him only to freeze again when his son his waved him front of him like a pawn. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! JEEZ, WE NEED TO PUT YOUR KIDS IN DANGER MORE OFTEN, YOU DAMN OLD MAN! IF SHOUTA WAS IN YOUR PLACE AND I WAS TAKEN, HE WOULD HAVE BEATEN THAT VILLAIN THREE TIMES OVER BY NOW!

And yes, I know Shouta has an erasing quirk, but Endeavor has just a viable of a quirk for this!

I hear a blast behind me, and I turn to find Bakugo and Todoroki getting out. I guess the place Endeavor left was too small for them.

Since Endeavor is as useless as trash, I guess this is our job.

"Bakugo, get Natsuo! Shoto, keep the lines from reaching any of the civilians! I'll capture!" I demand.

I am trusting them to listen to me as I immediately run into the chaos. I hear some words exchanged. Then, I hear Bakugo following me and Shoto's fire crackling, so it seems to be the case.

I speed past Endeavor and weave through the lines to get closer. I would use Shouta's scarf now, but I'm afraid that he will have time to stop it from capturing him. I need to be close enough to not give him any reaction time.

Unfortunately for me, the villain notices and starts shooting the lines at me, "Hero students! Let me die!" OH FUCKING BOY! SIR, YOU ARE REALLY GOING TO INCONVENIENCE THE WORLD AROUND YOU JUST TO DIE?! WHERE IS YOUR GODDAMN THERAPIST?! YOU CLEARLY NEED ONE!

"No!" I snap at him, and I decide to try jumping on the lines. Risky move, but it works. I use them to get above him to give myself an opening. I shoot the capture weapon at him before he has a chance to react. It wraps around him, and I tug at the scarf harshly by bringing it to my chest to send me flying at him. I practically torpedo into the man, causing him to crash into the ground with a loud crack.

I'm guessing that did the trick because all the lines suddenly drop. In the corner of my eye, I see Natsuo being loosened up, and Bakugo catches him before he can even start falling.

With a grumble, I bend down to check to make sure the man is alive. Good news: he is. He might have a concussion or brain damage, possibly both, but maybe that's what he needs.

I stand up against to face Endeavor only to find him running to Bakugo and Natsuo and pulling them into a hug. Poor children. Bakugo somehow slips out of the hug, so good for him, but Natsuo is kind of screwed. I'm assuming Endeavor has that covered.

"Shoto, everything good over there?!" I call while I turn to check him.

"Yeah," He returns. The white lines are gone, so he definitely had that handled.

Bakugo screams at me, "DEKU, YOU CAPTURED BANDAGE BOY?!"

I roll my eyes, "Yeah yeah! He's knocked out! Everything is good!"

Bakugo scoffs, turning to face Endeavor with a cocky smile, "What was it that you said, Number One? 'This winter?' 'Just once?' 'Faster than me?' Show me that you can capture a villain?!'" Normally, I would stop this, but I'm mad at Endeavor right now. He can deal with Bakugo's bullshit. I dealt with it for 16 years.

"Yeah. You did great," Endeavor responds with the most basic answer he could manage. No enthusiasm. Nothing. Bakugo deserves it, so that's completely fine. I don't know what he is talking about stopping a villain, though. I did. I'll give it to him this time only because they did way more than Endeavor, "You covered my mistake as quickly as possible."

Bakugo is not happy with that response, and I can hear him grumbling some bullshit. Once again, I don't care.

Natsuo seems to realize that he is being held by his father because he suddenly screams, "Let me go!" And scrambles back.

I can feel the trauma show starting again, and I want nothing to do with it. I have had enough of this crap for this week. This is their family problem. Not mine.

I decide to focus on getting the people away from the scene instead. They don't need to see a family moment. They can go watch that shit on their TV at home. I leave behind the scarf, as I am not willing to drag that man around, and start telling people to get going. Nobody argues with me, even if I get strange looks for it. The cars start beeping at them since they are having this tragic scene in the middle of the goddamn street instead of moving to the sidewalk, so I move in front of the trauma family and get to work getting traffic going.

I've never done this before, but I have determined from this experience that I don't want to be a traffic man, especially if an accident does happen because of me-

Actually, no. Bitch, I am innocent. If an accident happens, it's Endeavor's fault for having a family moment in the middle of the goddamn road. I'm footing the bill to him.

I can hear Natsuo getting frustrated in the background. Usually, this is the type of tea I'm for, but tonight has already been enough. This week has been more than enough if we're going to take it that far. If you want that tea, I wouldn't be surprised if it still gets posted on the media somewhere despite my work to get them away. Go watch it there. I ain't suffering for y'alls sake. That or go look it up on the Endeavor wiki.

It takes them five minutes (the duration of the conversation) too long to move back to the sidewalk, and I retire from my new job in exchange for bringing the possibly brain-damaged sans to the arriving police. I probably should have done something about that, but my standards nowadays is 'if it breathes, it's fine.'

I give my report to the police officer, and it turns out that they tested sans for drugs and found Trigger in him. That explains a lot, concerningly enough. Trigger does some shit to the mental state of the user. There's a reason why it's illegal.

"Izuku," Endeavor calls just as I am finishing.

I roll my eyes and approach him, "What?"

"I'm going to take Natsuo home. Can you bring Bakugo and Todoroki back to the agency for me?"

"Um, why? They can take care of themselves. They don't need a babysitter."

"YEAH, WHAT DEKU SAID!" Bakugo yells in the background, and I look over my shoulder at him. I guess he was already told about this. So that's why he is as red as my enemies!

Endeavor ignores Bakugo, "Considering this is the second time I have been attacked specifically this week, I want to make sure that they don't attack the interns in vengeance just in case."

I sigh, "Fine, whatever. Let's go, children!" I start retreating from the dumbass behind me when said dumbass speaks up again.

"Was today your last day?" I don't know. Is it? I kind of lost track of time being a villain and all. Villains don't follow time! Either way, my retreat as been stopped.

"Depends, what is today?"

"Friday." OH, THANK FUCK!

"Then yeah, I'm never going back to your agency again if I can help it." Not that I overly hate Endeavor the hero. I just hate Endeavor the father. I have enough issues in my life. I don't need the Todoroki issues as well. They can get a therapist for that shit.

"Would you be willing to wait there? There is something I want to talk to you about." Sir, it's too fucking late for this bullshit.

"I'll wait ten minutes. If you ain't there by then, I am leaving."

Endeavor nods and heads off.

I have been dropped from a hero to a babysitter. Just my luck.

"Bakugo, lead the way," I command as I have no clue how to get there from here. Bakugo grunts, but he does as asked surprisingly. Thinking about it, it is past his bedtime, huh?

That works for me!

Todoroki and I follow after him. I'm too lazy to grab a taxi, so we just walk there. It's only ten minutes away anyway. There's no reason to snatch one for that.

Meanwhile, I tap Shouta's button on Hizashi's heater thing to let him know that I am alive since I suddenly stopped texting him. I could text him while walking, but it's not exactly a healthy habit to get into. That is especially true when I only have one arm. My only stabby hand would be occupied then.

Eventually, we make it back to Endeavor's agency, and I bid them a goodnight as they return to their rooms. The agency itself is busy despite it being ten at night, but it's not as bustling as usual. Since I have to wait for Endeavor, I decide to bust into his office and wait there. I explore the place, and I can't help but feel like this is a waste of square footage. All this space and for what? Just to have more room to stand? Please, that man may be big, but he ain't that big. This is just a stupid ego booster for him.

Damn, I seem to be in attack mode tonight! I don't blame me though. I had no plans on staying out this late. I had plans to do work.

The door opens, and Endeavor steps through, closing it behind him. I feel like I am about to be jumped. Illogical, I know, but it's the vibe I am picking up from him. He moves to behind his desk, not saying a word the entire walk (yes, it is a walk from the door to his desk).

I decide to start the conversation so he doesn't embarrass himself with his shitty social skills, "What do you want, old man?"

"Has there been any updates on the impending war?" Endeavor asks as he pulls something out and writes something. Out of nowhere, but I guess since he's number one, this is important.

"As far as I know, no. We're just collecting information at this point."

Endeavor nods, seeming to accept this answer as he finishes writing, "Come here."

"I hope you realize how suspicious you are acting," I inform him as I move to the front of his desk. Endeavor doesn't respond as he holds something out to me, and I take it. It turns out to be a check, "What's this?"

"That's your paycheck for the work you have done here. Since I can't pay you in a tradition sense, I'm having to pay your personally." I can't hide my shock. This man is willing to do some shady shit to pay me. If I get paid for this shit, give me all the Todoroki trauma you got! My night has been made!

"To be fair, you can pay me traditionally if you pay me as a detective." That's actually how Nighteye paid me.

"It would look off in the accounting records with the pay difference." I guess that's true if it's done incorrectly.

I nod, "Well, thank you! I'm surprised that you are paying me at all."

"You did your job. It would be ridiculous not to pay you."

"Despite what the HC said?"

"They're just taking advantage of you by using your status." Well, damn. Like, I know that, but to hear that from Endeavor? What a slap in the face! Again! And he says this like it is nothing too! Though, to be fair, I think I prefer him to be nonchalant about it rather than make a big deal.

Thinking about it, that's one thing Endeavor holds over All Might in my opinion. Endeavor has never really shat on me being quirkless. The only time he has really said something against me was when I had that meeting with him and Hawks, and that was because I'm a student. That's understandable. He's also against my personality to some extent, but most of the world is, so whatever.

That's not to say that Endeavor is an active quirkless supporter. It's more on the side that he doesn't really care. As long as quirkless don't get in the way, he doesn't care what they do. I honestly prefer that over being acknowledged that I am quirkless. I just want to be treated as everyone else. I don't want special privileges because who I am. Simple as that.

"I mean, you're not wrong," I shrug, "Life is like that. Is there anything else you need from me?"

"Keep me updated. Otherwise, you're free to go. You know how to contact me."

I do a dramatic salute, "Yes, sir!"

I walk out with my paycheck and a grin. It's not as much as the World HC paid me, but it's still a pretty penny for just doing casual work!

Finally, I can go home and never return to Bowser's Land!

IMPORTANT Author's Notes:

I know I don't usually put this shit here, but it's important, so please read.

I am in a bit of a dilemma. Originally, once I finished season 5, I was going to go on break until season 6 (and possibly the manga) release. However, that might not be done until next year. The issue with that is I will be more busy because I am a college student and that's when shit picks up college wise.

The reason I was going to do that was to try and keep things accurate, but I don't know if that is a big issue or not.

I am considering continuing on with season 6 with no breaks so I can work on it this summer. Yes, anime fans will be kind of screwed. The main reason I want to do this is because I already plan on diverging from the manga by the next arc. With Izuku being who he is, I believe it would be better to take a different path. I've already been diverging from the story quite a bit. If I follow through with this, I'm literally giving the story a big FU. It also will allow me to focus more on college when that shit does pick up rather than having to worry about this as this fanfic is important to me.

That's where you guys come in. I want some thoughts: should I continue the story and say FU to the manga, or should I wait for everything to release and continue from there? If you have any other ideas, feel free to drop them too!

With that all said, later!
