Chapter 42 - What is a Hero

In a society, there must be balance and order. Balance between good and evil, light and darkness, high and low, hot and cold. Order brought by the higher ups, the government and in the simplest form, by a family.

In a family, there's a person of order. Whether it be the father, the parents or grandparents, there are someone leading and raising the family in their own way. But not every family gets a good kind of order.

Society have a system called Marginalize that separates different status of family and kinds from each other. There are the lower class, whose margin is huge yet poor. The middle class which was called Bourgeoisie who are in the middle and of course the higher class who seems to be the most blessed in the system with wealth.

However, the higher class have the smallest margin and not all are happy and contented.

The news about the feud the other day, spread like wild fire. And it gave the League of Villain teens big points in the Clandestine, toping in the ranking so far. Nekta was satisfied with the results and even shoved it into Miokia's face, literally.

Two days have passed and everything was back to normal, except for Todoroki Shoto.

Midoriya notices that his attention span was shorter than ever and unlike the usual, he usually spaces out. This is not normal, even for them. Todoroki having to be a happy-go-lucky kind and being so quiet isn't a good sign.

"To. Do. Ro. Ki. K--"

"Nekta! Nekta! Nekta! Permission to go on a mission!" Todoroki screamed, slamming the door open and smashing Midoriya's face with the wooden object. Nekta, who seems to be doing a homework, looked up and raised an eyebrow.

"Mission? Aniki never told me anything about a mission yet," Nekta said and Bakugo came in with a jar of chili sauce in hand and bowl of French fries.

"He's gonna go to his messed up family," Bakugo said, sitting across Nekta in the table. Nekta gave him a look and turned to Todoroki who just nodded with a pout.

"You just visited your mother the other week. What---"

"I want to see my siblings. Natsuo and Fuyumi," Todoroki said and Nekta raised an eyebrow.

"Natsuo, your college brother and Fuyumi, your sister who is a teacher? Come to think of it. You have two brothers, right?" Nekta asked, curiously and Todoroki frowned.

"Don't know. Haven't heard of him for a long time. Must've also been because of my old man," he said and Nekta hummed, turning back to her homework.

"I'm busy with some other stuff Aniki is making me do. No one will be able to supervise you," she said and Todoroki whined, messing his hair up. Midoriya approached them and punched Todoroki in the side, paying him back for slamming the door at him.

"Ouchie~"

"You don't have to supervise me! I can do it! Promise! I can!" Todoroki said and they heard a chuckle from behind them.

"Yeah, with your short attention span, I doubt you'll last five minutes without supervision," they turned to the direction where the voice came from and saw it was Dabi who is not wearing his coat, leaving his black top and jeans, "That's why I'm going with you."

"What?"

"Hey, Dabi! You sound like Todoroki-kun's boyfriend just now," Midoriya teased, flashing a wacky smile. The flame user rolled his eyes and turned to Todoroki.

"It's f*cking cringy imagining you two together. It's disgusting," Bakugo commented, pouring chili sauce all over his fries.

"urgh! Stop with the side comments. It makes my head hurt," Nekta said, massaging her temples. She tapped her forefinger on the table and looked up at the two flame users and her eyes widened.

Being good in information and very detail-oriented, but she failed so many times to notice that they have identical eye colors. Dabi's eyes and Todoroki's left eye are identically blue. Blue eyes are rare, yes, but something at the bottom of Nekta's gut makes her assume one thing and that makes her approve of their plea.

"Dabi, look after him. If he gets into trouble, get him out of it and Shoto, don't mess things up," she said and Todoroki grinned, thanking Nekta and running back to their room to get ready.

The red head villain turned to Dabi and gave him a strict look and the male just nodded, walking away. These two seems to have a mutual understandings on things. And it's annoying.

Nighttime came and it came as a right time for Todoroki to go to their household. Nekta informed him that his brother is staying in their house for a while after what happened to Endeavour.

He jumps from roof to roof, quietly, making sure to keep his stealth lessons in check as Dabi casually strolls on the ground like it's a normal day for him.

"Ah, amateurs," Dabi muttered, but with the dead silence, Todoroki heard it.

"Well, it's nice to have you escort an amateur, ashf*ck," Todoroki said, creating a slide with his ice and sliding down to his side, "It's kind of weird too."

"Everything about us is weird," Dabi stated which made the younger male laugh.

"Yeah, 'guess so!" He said and the rest of the walk is silent after that.

Nekta must've trusts him so much that she let him handle me, Todoroki thought and frowned, going back to the thing he is fighting for. The BakuNekta ship.

"Hey, ashf*ck! I have a question," Todoroki said, raising a hand as Dabi hummed, signalling for him to press on, "what's your type in a girl?"

"You're finally spilling it?" Todoroki blushed and growled at him, freezing his left shoulder down to his torso.

"Like hell, I'd be gay!" He protested and Dabi melts the ice with ease.

"Then why?"

"I just want to know is there is a possibility for you to like Nekta since, you know, you two are the leader of the units in the League," Todoroki said, swinging his arms behind his nape as he walks, "And for me, it's a big chance because you two usually plan together."

Dabi looked away, thinking. This gesture makes Todoroki suddenly want to have a mind reading quirk to know whatever he is thinking.

"Actually, your guess is somehow right," the teen's eyes widened with Dabi smirking wide at him, "Nekta is one great babe and it's hard not liking her romantically."

Todoroki whined and rants about how he can ruin his ship like how a fan girl would and Dabi is witness to all of it. Miraculously, the people in the neighborhood didn't wake up in his continuous blabbering.

"Okay! Stop, you idiot. Nekta doesn't even like me the way I do for her. She's very professional in these kinds of stuff," he replied to his rants, switching the teen off and turned to him.

"Now that you said it, Nekta is one hard to get gal. It'll be hard for her to like someone," Todoroki said and sighed, "How annoying."

"Ha! Tell me about it," Dabi replied and a question he's been itching to ask came back into his mind and decided to inquire it to his companion, "What do you think a real hero is?"

Todoroki looked at him in bewilderment, finding it odd for him to ask such question. He's a villain that follows Stain's ideology and came to the League, holding unto that. He believes that the true model of heroism is AllMight and it's quite true. However, what really is a real hero?

"First thing's first. It ain't my old man," he started, deciding to answer his question, "The best person you could've asked that is Midoriya but he ain't here right now. His answer is clearly AllMight and that sums all of it. Although, I have to disagree."

"Yeah? Why?"

"A real hero goes by the moral and truth. He sees through things and create good judgment. AllMight doesn't always do that. Yeah, I know no one's perfect, but you ask me what a real hero is for me and that's my answer," he simply shrugged and continued, "A hero sacrifices, a hero leads, a hero do everything for the best of mankind, even if he had to risk his own life for it."

"Is that what you really think even before you became a villain?" Todoroki shook his head and grinned, sheepishly.

"Nope, but I think that's it. And because that qualification can't be met by anyone, evil still lurks in the shadows," he said and stopped in front of a very familiar wall. He averted his gaze to the wall and smiled, "and continues to grow."

Inside the Todoroki household, Fuyumi Todoroki woke up with a sudden chill in her spines. She got up her futon and took her glasses from her side. Looking towards her room's sliding door, she can't shake the feeling that someone else is in their house. It's just her and her younger brother, Natsuo here so having that kind of feeling somehow scares her.

She quickly stood up and ran to his brother's room, waking him up to inform him of her instincts.

"Natsu, someone's here," she whispered as her white haired brother grumbled and whined about waking him up so early, "Come on! There might be a thief or something else!"

"Okay! I'm up! I'm up! No need to shout!" he groggily said and stood up to come with his sister.

Fuyumi led him to the living room where she thinks the presence is and due to the darkness, she can't see clearly.

"Sh*t! We should have brought some flashlights," Natsuo said and something creeked. They tensed up and noticed a flickering light coming from the living room, "Who might that be?"

"Fuyumi? Natsu?" A familiar voice called making their eyes wide as saucers. They slowly went to the living room as their eyes adjust to the small lighting brought by the mysterious presence.

Although, he is not so mysterious at all.

The two Todorokis stopped, staring wide eyed at the bicolor haired teen in front of them with a small fire, burning by his hand. His face displays a smile that was rare for him back when he was still living with them.

Despite the darkness, the mixture of sadness, anxiousness, happiness and disappointment can be seen in the two older Todoroki's features. Fuyumi's eyes threatening to create waterfalls of tears and Natsuo biting his lower lip to prevent his tears from falling.

"S...Shoto!" The two said and ran to their youngest brother to hug him. Todoroki smiled and put out the fire, returning their hug. The three cried for their long waited reunion finally came and it shows how much they missed each other.

"I missed you, guys!"

Meanwhile, Dabi stood by the doorway, letting the siblings have a heartfelt reunion after a long time.

---

"After a long line of One-For-All users that protects justice, you decided to defy it and go to the ways of my brother."

"First user! I'm finding a way to---argh! I don't care! I don't follow All-for-One! I follow Nekta-senpai! And you can do nothing about it--Urgh! I'll make everything right! I'll fight him! I'll fight Nekta and all of this! I'll make things right!"

"Midoriya Izuku, you are having a conflict with yourself. You must find a way for it to stop. As for the rest, you are not strong enough to see it."

"Ahuuuuuuh!" Midoriya shot up, awake, right in the middle of the night. Beads of sweat running down his face and bare chest. He just had a dream and it's not very pretty. And it's all about his quirk and its history.

"I've got to find a way. I need to talk to AllMight. He knows what to do," he said and turned to his side to see Bakugo, deep asleep and Todoroki not home yet, "I need to convince Uraraka-chan that I'm still here."

After that sentence, the glint in his eyes changed. More menacing and full of iniquity.

"Not if I can do something about it."
