Chapter 27 - Ice
Bakugo Mitsuki awoke to her doorbell being rang at 11 pm on a Wednesday night.
Her husband still sleeping soundly next to her- She arose and grabbed her robe from off of a nearby chair, throwing around her before tying it off and heading downstairs, walking past her son's room.
She flicked on the light as she walked past the switch, yawning tiredly to herself. All she wanted was some good sleep without being interrupted, it was probably the old lady from across the street, the crazy old coot wanting some sugar or something she could get herself from the store so she could feed her cat with it. She was surprised the cat was even alive.
But when she opened the door, it wasn't a old lady yearning for some sugar, it was a young lady, breathing heavily as if she just ran a marathon.
"Are you Mrs. Bakugo?" She questioned, the woman nodding in confusion.
"I'm friends with your son, the angry cactus with blond hair and red eyes."
"Yeah...?"
"I need to ask for a favor." Their eyes met, the steely gaze of her exposed eye reminded her of someone she had met before.
"I'm Elle.".
---
The next hour or so- The Bakugos were wide awake, listening to Elle's story and why she was here in the first place.
Running from the police? Yeah that she could handle- But Pro-Heroes? She will have to see about that.
"You want to stay here?"
"It is only temporary until I can find my brother and beat his ass." Oh she forgot- Her brother was the one who kidnapped her son. The strings of fate were really having a hooting at this.
"Is there anywhere else you could go?"
"The orphanage in town, but that would be the first place they would look. I can't go to a random person when there is a search out for me. Can't go back to the hospital and hide there, that place would be closely monitored, can't go-" She paused, realizing she made her point. "Yeah, I'm utterly fucked either way." Masaru and Mitsuki shared a glance, communicating with their eyes before sighing deeply to themselves, Mitsuki speaking up.
"I guess you don't want Katsuki to know that you are here?" She nodded, "Then you can stay with us for the time being until he comes home for the weekend- If he decides to anyway cause he never fucking answers my calls or texts the little shit-" Masaru placed his hand on his wife shoulder, stopping her from continuing. They had a guest. She blinked, reverting back to her people tone.
"Do you have any allergies?"
"Asparagus."
"Oh good, we don't eat that shit in this house. Welcome to the family for the time being, Elle."
"Is it just Elle?" Masaru questioned, her nodding.
"Just Elle."
---
The search continued among the Pro-Heroes, that eventually news had to be given to the students who had become likely friends of Elle. Primarily Class 1-A.
Aizawa was one of the Pro-Heroes called out to find the young girl, tired out of his mind and annoyed how incompetent the police were at finding one person who stuck out like a sore thumb. But he did have to give them credit for narrowing down the likely places she could be. Made his job much easier.
Due to most of the staff being out of commission- Out searching for the young girl, school was cancelled. Class 1-A stayed in their dorms, bored out of their mind. Of course they had video games to play on and homework to do- But the anxiety they felt as a whole was troublesome. A girl they had just met was missing.
Eijirou wasn't given many details, what happened the morning prior, all he knew was that she took off on her own accord after over hearing a conversation Tsukauchi had with the Head of Police.
And here comes Bakugo- storming into the main area, furiously stirring a bowl of cake batter dangerously hard.
"I told you something was up with her! You shouldn't have trusted her!"
"Bakugo- We only know a small bit of the story." Uraraka began, "We do not know what truly happened for it run off like that." Tsuyu nodded along, agreeing with the brunette.
"I agree with Uraraka. Elle doesn't seem the type of person to run off without purpose." The blond mixing the batter groaned loudly, throwing his head back in annoyance. How dense could his classmates be?! They were so blind!
"Elle is a calculated little shit, she plans ahead quietly, she knows how to fucking hide and stay hidden."
"Bakugo, what on earth are you implying-" Iida began, but was cut off guard by the dangerous glare sent towards him from the angered blond.
"Elle is a villain. Always has been, can't you all fucking see the signs?!"
"Woah, woah there Bakubro. Elle is definitely not a villain, you don't even know her." Eijirou was quick to defend her, knowing that out of all of them he has spent the most time with her. "She probably freaked out over something, she has always been guarded like that."
"Remember when we fought?" Bakugo began, watching everyone who was present in the Kirishima's Household at the time nod, "Those movements were definitely not by an amateur. Hell I don't even think you noticed Deku." Midoriya rose a brow, his green eyes filled with confusion.
"What do you mean, Kachann?"
"There was a split moment where she whispered something in my ear when she flipped over me." Jirou's head popped up, not ever recalling hearing such a small thing from Elle.
"W-What?" Midoriya sputtered out.
"Guess what she fucking told me? FUCKING GUESS!" Bakugo was now shaking in anger, small explosions erupting from the palms of his hands, the smell of nitroglycerin lifting into the room more potent than before.
"Bakugo..." Uraraka muttered, glancing over at Momo who looked worried as well.
"She told me, 'If you want to keep your head, I suggest not butting into my personal life'."
"That's harsh." Kaminari commented.
"Scary..." Mineta mumbled, never having met this Elle character, but could tell just by how others talked about her- She wasn't one to mess around with.
"I know Elle, better than anyone else here no offense. What would you do in that situation? Someone you barely know fighting you? Wouldnt you get defensive as well?" Eijirou stated, defending the girl he liked. Bakugo's eyebrow twitched, glaring at his best friend.
"She threatened to take my head off, fuck, you heard what her quirk entailed! She could easily do it." He snapped his fingers, baring his fangs as if he had sharp teeth like Eijirou.
"What her quirk entails?" Questioned Shoto, speaking up from his place in the kitchen, looking out at them from over the counter, a soda drink beside him.
"Shit! Dont do that bastard!" Stated Bakugo, startled from the sudden voice of Todoroki Shoto. Shoto didn't reply to him, taking a small sip from his drink.
"Oh that's right... I don't think we ever told you guys. W-We weren't exactly allowed to..." Midoriya started, his voice nervous and going up an octave.
"What weren't you allowed to tell us, Deku?" Uraraka asked the greenette, who fumbled with his hands, biting down on his lower lip.
"I uh... A little help here?" Midoriya looked to Eijirou, who coughed awkwardly. He didn't know if it was appropriate to tell them now, while there was a wide search for her but- It couldn't be helped, they will find out one way or another.
"It's confidential stuff Uraraka. The only reason us three know about it is because we were on the other side of the glass."
"Other side of the glass?" Questioned Shoto, brow furrowing.
"Breathe, Kirishima." Tsuyu reminded the red head to breath, the boy releasing the breath he didn't realize he was holding. He nodded at Tsuyu in thanks. Bakugo huffed, resting his hands on his hips as he sneered.
"Long story short, Elle was brought in for interrogation about the fire incident, wasn't supposed to be a huge fucking deal until she dropped a US bomb on us." Mina winced, whimpering softly, "Really... T-That bad?" Bakugo stared at her, eyes narrowing.
"If I say it was like the US dropped a bomb on us- THEN YEAH IT'S FUCKING BAD!"
"Calm down Kachann! Mina was just making sure." Midoriya stated. Bakugo huffed in annoyance, looking away from the group, his brows creased in permanent irritation.
"Okay so... What was this metaphorical US Bomb?" Ojiro questioned, sitting down on the crouch with his knees up to his chest, to make as much room as possible for the three other people seated on the sofa, even though he probably didn't have to, cause one of them was Mineta. The purple raisin.
"This... This can't go beyond this dorm, no one else is supposed to know. Not the teachers, no one outside of the class, not any siblings or parents- No one. Promise me." Midoriya asked of them, the other two who already knew of this information nodding in agreement. This secret will not go beyond these walls.
The group around them had their choruses on quiet says of the promise not to tell another living soul, others a bit more loud to emphasize their truth that they wouldn't tell anyone else- Before the three collectively said at the same time their own ways of the secret.
"You know the villain Dabi from the League? That's Elle's older brother."
"The shithead that kidnapped me is Elle's older brother."
"He has some rowdy manly scars on his face, he goes by Dabi, that's Elle's brother.".
It took a minute, the three watching their classmates faces drop, shock, horror, blank- mixture of emotions passed through them all at varying rates and degrees. Not knowing how to react with the information, Kaminari was the first to blank when he went to say something back in return, coming up empty- Struggling to get words out.
All of Class 1-A knew then, that Elle's older brother was a villain, and no ordinary villain- Dabi from the League of Villains that took part in kidnapping Bakugo Katsuki.
The man who said Todoroki Shoto's name so easily, with such fervor, the look in his electric blue eyes behind the blue flames, the man with the scars- The man for a moment he believed to be Todoroki Touya. Shoto could feel his left side heat up, his right cooling, his emotions going out of whack just for a moment before he gripped ahold of himself, clenching his jaw as he held his head in his hands, closing his eyes as he reminded himself.
'You only want it to be them, Touya is smart, he would never stay in the same city, he would never be in the spotlight where he could easily come across Enji, he would never put ************ in that situation. He would never-'
He looked back up, staring at Midoriya's back, eyes burning with fire.
'It's not them. It can't be... If it is them then- Then I have already interacted with ********** but- Elle didn't know me, Midoriya told me she knew most of us from the Sports Festival. We are acquaintances, nothing more and-'
"No wonder Bakugo was so pressed with Elle when we were over there, kero." Stated Tsuyu thoughtfully.
"No way! They look nothing alike!" Stated Sero.
"That's... Probably a good thing." Momo muttered to herself, glancing off to the side. Sure Elle was rough around the edges, closed off and protective of herself- But her being related to- To someone like that? It was baffling her to no end. Bakugo huffed, deciding internally he was done with this conversation.
"Wait- But their quirks are different? Wouldn't usually siblings inherit the same quirk?" Uraraka questions, Iida speaking up with an answer formally.
"Not necessarily, it all depends on the genetic dna from both parents. And we do not know if they share the same genes, as in half-siblings."
"Elle already explained that to us, they are full siblings, their quirks may look on the opposite ends of the spectrum but- They are more similar than you know it." Began Midoriya, his green eyes blinking when he met the heterochromic gaze of Shoto, staring intently at him. He turned back around, clearing his throat. "They can both deal a lot of destruction, Dabi's flames can and will turn people to ash if he isn't careful. Elle is in the same boat, that's why she has so much temperature control when it comes to her ice." Uraraka snapped her fingers, brown eyes glimmering in the light coming from the dorm lights above the group.
"Like when she helped me when I was sick! Her frost never even touched my skin, only enveloped her hand like there was a barrier!"
"If she isn't careful, she can turn people to ice to the point of them- Well... You can guess..." He trailed off, swallowing thickly. Momo shared a glance with Iida, one of the two smartest in the class coming to the same solution.
"Ice statues? And then they... Break apart?" Midoriya nodded at Momo, Mineta on the couch squeaking in fear.
"SCARY!"
"That's... That's very troublesome." Iida said to himself thoughtfully, pressing his thumb to his bottom lip.
"Okay let me get this straight- Elle isn't a villain, just the little sister of one?"
"Yeah. Guys Elle isn't bad at all. She is just afraid, guarded, doesn't know how to express herself fully." Eijirou informed them, using his hands as emphasis.
"So... What should we do?" Mina asked, staring at her group of friends.
Shoto clenched his fist on the counter, gritting his teeth. 'I can't help ********** right now, but I can help someone. And that someone is Elle.' He looked up, locking eyes with Eijirou from across the room.
"We are going to find her, that's what we are going to do.".
To Be continued
Double update!!! Because last chapter was supposed to be updated on Shark Boi's birthday (Which Happy Birthday my Shark Boi I love you I hope you had a wonderful day). I didn't update on his birthday because I wasn't at work in order to update, but hey, two more weekends before I'm done with this job and then to find another job and get my license. Which my dad already found a car for me??? He is the type to look on ebay and marketplaces so I'm guessing he saw a listing for it on facebook and he told me the price and I'm just like- I don't want a car, I don't want to get it right before winter comes and then something happens and boom! Money down the drain, it's a 2002 Buick something I can't remember the rest of it but it's a small car which is perfect for me because my anxiety can't handle big vehicles when it comes to driving oof.
That was an unnecessary long tangent I'm sorry-
Also I did publish another bnha story??? I don't remember when and if I ever told you guys but it's available on my profile as 'Robotics -My Hero Academia-', I will be updating that with the second chapter after this chapter goes live :)
Onto the discussion of the chapter~
So Mitsuki being the wonderful woman that she is has taken Elle in under her protective wing and will peck anyone's eye out if harms ever come to Elle. And Masaru is just there, nodding along cause he really just wants to go back to bed tbh.
So Elle is in the Bakugo Household, and the team of class 1-a learns the truth about Elle and who Dabi is to her, the three boys giving different responses but all getting the point across. The LOV is after her, and Dabi is her older brother, Elle isn't a villain, just the younger sister of one, and Shoto is having an identity crisis that isn't his own.
Rip Shoto, sorry my boi for putting you through this it gets better I promise (A very weak promise but a promise).
Since Halloween is right around the corner, what are you guys gonna be for Halloween? I never really dressed up for Halloween but I will be doing a makeup look for the occasion and post it on my instagram and maybe twitter.
Also if you guys have any fanart for the new cover I want Opposites to have, please let me know! You guys don't have to edit the art yourself (I can do that) but you are free to! And you will be properly credited, hell I will pay you even for your time spent on it since it's technically a commission up for grabs. But that's entirely up to you!
Thank you all for reading and I will talk to you all later! -Golden
