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.

A shriek leaves my lips as I'm suddenly yanked from the bench, my phone dropping out of my hands and clattering to the floor. Flying across the park, my body slams into the person in charge of the quirk. My head bashes into a well built chest as a tense, bulky arm wraps around my neck, locking me in place with a knife held in his hand. His other arm wrapped around my stomach, pulling me tightly to his chest to try and stop my thrashing.

The twins yell out my name worried and go to rush toward us, only to be stopped by their father. Shoto's left hand lit up in flames as he stares toward the villain, his heterochromic eyes narrowing as the villain tightens his grip on me as I squirm in his grip.

"(Y/n)!" Kōri shrieks afraid, clinging to his older brother who holds him close as they lean into their father worried, "Daddy! Save (Y/n)!"

"Boys go to Uncle Deku," Shoto instructs, pointing toward the greenette who zooms onto the scene. Shoto's eyes not leaving the villain or I, making sure he doesn't try anything as I try to weakly push the villains arms off me, "Now!"

Squeaking nervously, the boys dart to their uncle who checks them over quickly for any injuries before pulling them out of the line of fire. The greenette making sure the boys are a safe distance away from the action so they don't get hurt or the villain gets any ideas on hurting the twins...

I'd rather it be me than the twins...

My heart jumps in my throat as the flat of the knife presses against my throat in warning toward the heroes advancing toward us making them halt in their tracks with wide eyes. My stomach somersaults and clenches uncomfortably as my legs tremble. Dynamight was amongst them, his ruby red eyes narrowing toward the villain as he threatens my life with the end of his knife.

"Come any closer and I'll finish her off," The villain growls, tightening his grip on my stomach making me wince. My eyes widening slightly as something quick flashes in my brain before disappearing as quickly as it appeared. My whole body tensing up as I squeeze my eyes tightly shut, "I'm pretty sure you wouldn't want that now would you?"

"Let her go," Dynamight growls, cursing under his breath at the amount of cameras and journalists already armed and at the ready with questions and fake news stories, "I'm gonna kick your ass,"

The villain chuckles gently at Dynamight's dry threat. The male pressing the knife closer to my throat making me squeak nervously and breath hastily through my mouth. Sweat beads on my forehead and my head runs a mile per minute. My stomach sinks like a rock as he presses harder into my ribcage, my scar throbbing. I wince again, whimpering under my breath. Stay calm! Stay calm! Why can't I be calm?!

Trembling in the villains arms as he stands off with Dynamight, my eyes flit toward Shoto who sends me a reassuring smile. The male picking up my phone and pulls out my hero licence, sending me a thumbs up and gesturing for me to beat the guy up or use my quirk on him.

"What makes you think I'll listen to wannabe scum like you?!" The villain bellows, glaring toward Katsuki as he presses the knife harder against my skin, the skin threatening to break making me nervously cry out, tears falling down my cheeks as I nervously dig my nails into his skin, "I'm leaving with that money whether you like it or not!"

Running just on adrenaline alone, I take a deep breath and close my eyes. Psyching myself up, telling myself I can do this. I can do this! I've been in worse situations! I've taken down bigger, badder, meaner and uglier villains! Come on (Y/n)! Pull yourself together and kick his ass! Without a second thought, I open my mouth and bite down on the males arm, digging my teeth into his arm making him yell out yanking his arm away, a ring of blood on his arm.

"You bit me! You fuck -"

Before he could reply, I hinge my head back and headbutt him square in the nose, a satisfying crack echoing through the air as my head makes contact with his face. He lets go of his grip on my completely to cradle his nose and groans as I swivel on my foot and kick him square in the chest making him lose his balance and fall to the ground, letting go of me completely.

"What the -"

"(Y/n)! Duck!" Shoto yells, sending a shard of ice toward the villain making me duck down as the ice flies through the air and pins the villain to the floor before he can retaliate. The two tone male runs to the villain to apprehend him while I take a deep breath to calm myself down.

Cringing at the taste of blood in my mouth, I spit it onto the floor and run my fingers through my hair. My heart still pounding in my chest as I look toward Dynamight who stands there gawking at me with wide eyes. Did he not know I could kick ass? Did he think I was frail like everyone else?

Before anyone could notice his baffled his expression, he clears his throat and walks toward me to make sure that I'm okay and I'm not injured. The male then stands opposite me and narrows his eyes.

"I could have done that," he grumbles toward me making me arch a brow with a small scoff, adrenaline still coursing through my veins, "Anyway; where the fuck did that come from? You do have a hero licence don't you?"

"Y - yeah, it's in my phone case," I reply gently, taking my phone from Shoto as he walks over and high-fives me, "Maybe if you didn't hesitate, you would have gotten your ass kicking moment,"

"Are you okay?!" Kōri asks running toward me like the speed of light and colliding into my legs as I shakily wrap my arms around the twins who instantly glomp me with tears rolling down their cheeks, "Are you hurt?! That was so scary, (Y/n)!"

"I - I'm okay, boys, I'm okay," I reassure them, running my fingers through their hair and rubbing their backs as they snuggle into me, "I'm okay..."

"That was so cool!" Ryoku squeals, reacting in the completely opposite way of Kōri. The older twins eyes shimmering with excitement as he kicks the air and punches the air, "You were like, 'take that!' and the villain got his butt kicked! You're so cool, (Y/n)!"

"Are you teaching her how to fight?" Dynamight asks looking toward Shoto who shakes his head with a smile and watches as the twins hold as tightly as they can onto me, "When did she...? How did she...? What the fuck!"

"C - can I go home now?" I ask nervously, my stomach coiling at the amount of cameras and people surrounding the area as I look toward Shoto and Dynamigh while Deku goes to handle the press, "Please?"

"Of course, lets get you back... your adrenaline will wear off soon and this will hit you like a fright train," Shoto explains, looking toward Dynamight as I shove my hands into my sleeves and take a nervous breath. My heart rate slowly going down as the adrenaline begins to wear off, "You wanna handle the press or come with us?"

"I'm not dealing with those fuckers," Dynamight grumbles, hoisting me into his arms and holding me bridal style making me squeak nervously and hold onto him, looking toward Shoto who's holding the twins in his arms, "Hold on tight, if you fall it's your fault,"

Trying to calm down the blush that's threatening to spread across my cheeks, I rest against his chest and cling onto him tightly. A small squeal leaving my lips as he propels us into the air using his quirk. A chuckle leaving his lips as I cling to him tighter, petrified that he may actually drop me! Instead of following Shoto and running across rooftops and sliding down, Dynamight decided to show off (at least that's what I gathered from it).

The blonde grinning to himself as he propels us as high as he can in the air making me shriek and cling to him. A small chuckle leaves his lips as he does a loop in the air and cheekily threatens to drop me making me shriek and glare at him. My heart hammering in my chest as I shake slightly in his arms.

"Uncle Kacchan! Be careful!" Kōri scolds, pouting toward the blonde as he lands in the front garden of the Todoroki estate and notices my shaken appearance, "Meanie,"

"Flying with Uncle Kacchan is fun! Isn't it (Y/n)?" Ryoku asks as I'm slowly put on my feet, my legs feeling like jelly as I lean into Dynamight gently (trying not to go bright red as I feel his muscles!) and take a nervous breath, "Are you okay (Y/n)?"

"Y - yeah... I'm okay," I reply, clearing my throat as I compose myself and send a small smile to Dynamight before hitting his arm making him grin, "Don't ever do that again, I felt my soul leave my body,"

"Live a little, baby face," he hums, ruffling my hair before arching a brow at my eyes widening slightly, "What?"

"B - baby face?" I ask, tilting my head confused as he frowns gently and clears his throat, the male looking away (possibly to hide a blush?), "Where did that come from?"

"Tch, shut up," Dynamight curses, pushing me away by my face making me splutter before he looks toward the twins and ruffle their hair and then glaring toward Shoto who chuckles his way, "What are you laughing at Icyhot?! I'll kick your ass!"

"Baby face? Every nickname you come up with is usually an insult? Even Ochaco's is round face," Shoto says, arching a brow and watching as the blonde hero shoves at him making the red and white haired male laugh, "Baby face is a compliment,"

"Shut it," Dynamight growls making me giggle gently and lead the boys into the home before taking a deep breath, "I hate you so much, Icyhot,"

While Shoto and Dynamight bicker between each other, I let the boys run off to do their own thing while I sit down at the island and take a deep breath. My mind still going a mile per minute. My heart hammering in my chest as I stare at the marble of the island and groan to myself.

This is going to be a rough week or so...

Before I could get something to drink, my phone starts beeping making me jump and drop it on the linoleum floor making me curse under my breath. After telling myself that it's okay, I bend down to pick my phone up and see who's calling me, my heart wrenching as it's my mom. Nervously, I accept the call and ready myself for a lecture or a worried ramble.

"Hey ma -"

"I saw the news! Are you okay?! Please tell me you're okay?! Are you injured?!" My mother begins fretting, the woman yelling down the phone making me wince gently at the volume blasted into my ear, "What happened?! Do you need to come home?! I'll get your dad to pick you up and we can spend the week cuddling! Have you relapsed?! Do you need your brothers?! Where are you now?!"

"Ma... ma! Stop yelling down the phone, you're gonna make me go deaf," I hum, running my fingers through my hair with a small sigh as Shoto walks in with Dynamight close behind, "I'm okay... I don't need to come home... I'm safe, I prom -"

"Are you sure? Sweetie you got attacked!" My mother yells down the phone worried, a sigh leaving my lips as I rub circles on my temple and groan, "I knew we shouldn't have let you move out yet! You got attacked!"

"Ma, please... I'm okay..." I promise her, groaning as she makes sound of protest, "I don't need to come back home, I promise... Sakino will help me if anything happens and I'll call you everyday if you want? Will that help? Stop worrying... I'm not hurt, I'm safe... I defended myself didn't I?"

"That's not what I'm worried about sweetie..." My mom hums with a small sigh, the woman mumbles something (probably something to dad) before huffing, "Sweetie... you got attacked... I don't want you to relapse from last time..."

"If I do then I do... I can't stop that," I tell her, my stomach churning as I lean against the wall of the kitchen and sigh, "I'll be okay, I'll call you if anything happened and Sakino can keep you posted, okay?"

"Okay... will you at least come home at some point?" She asks gently, "Your father and I miss you,"

"I'll come home in a couple weeks, we're getting a break soon, I'll come then okay?" I ask, clearing my throat as I run my fingers through my hair, "I love you ma..."

"I love you too sweetie," she hums, smiling to herself as I smile to myself, "Stay safe..."

After hanging up and ending the phone call, I look toward Shoto and Dynamight who stare at me with arched brows. Shoto tilting his head while Dynamight has his hands on his hips. I send them a nervous smile as I lean against the counter and take a deep breath.

"You okay?" Shoto asks, watching as I shift my weight from one foot to another, clearing my throat for the fifth time to clear out the bile in my throat as my stomach growls, "Want me to take you back to your apartment?"

"Y - yeah... please..." I stammer, sighing to myself as I grab my phone and put it in my pocket, "I need to sleep..."

"Of course, Dynamight can look after the kids while I drop you off,"...

"You sure you're okay, baby face?"...

"Y - yeah... I - I'm okay... I just need to go home,"...
