Rei had enough.

Touya was in the burn unit again, Fuyum was yelled at for getting a 90 on a test, Natsuo was yelled at by Enji for having a weak quirk and Shoto was thankfully ignored until his quirk came in.

Until his quirk came in ...that was only in another year or so…

She needed to leave and she needed to leave now.

Thank god her brother was paranoid about her marrying Todoroki and had her keep voice recorders on hand at all times. As well as small camera's he implanted after Touya's birth.

"Be careful," Rei murmured, the other huffing as he grabbed his bags and went back to his call about the month long mission he would be on.

Now was her chance.

Taking the chips from all the camera's and the tapes from the recorders she compiled all the worst and vile things that he had done, said, or threatened. Next she called up an old friend.

"Ritsuka," she whispered, having put all the children to bed at that point. "I'm calling in that favor you owe me. Do you mind being my lawyer for this?"

"Finally doing it," he asked, but his voice was soft and understanding...and happy.

"Yes," she nodded.

"Good. First thing first," he said, shuffling being heard. "You need a restraining order and I have one ready to be filed with my police friend Naomasa. Then he'll need your statement and your oldests statement," he sniffed. "Thankfully I have a place already picked out for you, a house I use to rent out to others in a nice neighborhood with a good daycare."

"Your really have been waiting for this day…"

"Of course," he sighed. "Your my cousin, and when Makato died I promised to be there when you got the guts to leave!"

"I know, I know," she sighed, sitting on the couch. "When can we move in?"

"Let me tell the neighbor's and then you can move in tomorrow. I'll get a restraining order ready for you and then Naomasa to come over a few days from now."

"Thanks...who are the neighbors?"

"Umm two pro heroes, a single mother and her son-who is Shoto's age by the way-and a family of three who are close friends with the single mother. They have a kid Shoto's age too...and daycare, and school are all within walking distance."

"Oh...thank goodness…."

"And don't worry about rent for now. I don't want you using the funds that you siphoned off on paying me for the house. Once you get a job, we'll talk rent."

"Your not going to accept any money from me until we talk about it?"

"Nope!"

"Alright…"

"Mama," Shoto asked as she put them all in the car, their necessities and personal belongings already sent to the house. "Were leaving?"

"Yes," she nodded, the other three jolting. "And your going to make some friends!"

"Really," he gasped.

"No more training," Touya gaped. "No more pressure for good grades. No more pressure to be invisible...and no more isolation."

"Mom…" Natsuo breathed, tears welling up in his eyes. "Really?"

"Yes," she nodded, revving up the engine and driving as fast as she legally could away from the traditional hell hole.

"Mom...can I change my hair…," Touya trailed off, the other looking away in embarrassment.

"Of course. Once everything is settled I'll ask around."

"Thanks," he breathed, smiling slightly as he looked out the car window.

"Mom...who are our neighbors?"

"Hello," the woman, Inko, they remembered. "Nice to meet you! Since you were all coming today I wanted to offer my services in watching the younger ones! Since more...adult things will be spoken about," she smiled.

"Thank you, but are you sure-"

"Trust me, if I can handle Katsuki, these darlings will be easy," she winked, sighing at the sounds of faint cheers. "Oh boy," she shook her head.

"Go on," Rei motioned her children, each of them grabbing their backpacks and walking with the woman as she lead them to the apartment complex next to the houses. They walked up to the third floor before they entered her home, the sounds of the TV blaring as the smell of food assaulting the senses.

"I made Katsudon if you would like some and curry as well," she smiled, putting on her slippers before heading in. "Would you like to meet Izuku and Katsuki?" She kneeled down to Shoto's level and cocked her head to the side.

"I'll be with you Sho," Natsuo offered, smiling at the toddler before taking his hand as he nodded at Inko.

"Alright," she smiled, clapping her hands and calling out to the two.

"Mommy! Are these the new people," the boy looked like Inko but with freckles and curly hair.

"Wow, you have such cool har," the boy was blonde with spiky hair and red eyes, his face in awe as he looked at Shoto's hair.

"I'm Natuso! And this is my brother Shoto!"

"I'm Katsuki!"

"Izuku," the other was suddenly shy when the attention turned to him.

"You guys like All Might," Katsuki asked, or demanded.

"Yes," Shoto nodded.

"Come on! Were watching an All Might Anime," they grabbed the two boy's hands and herded them into the living room, Inko chuckling before turning to the two others.

"Would you like some lunch?"

"Yes please," Fuyumi nodded, the woman waving at them to follow her.

"Thanks...for uhhh…" Touya tried to come up with the right words but stopped at her laugh.

"No need to thank me," she insisted. "Besides, Izuku needs more people to speak too...he's so painfully shy…"

"Sounds like Sho," Touya huffed, sitting down with a grunt and thanking her when the bowl of Katsudon was placed before him. "He needs friends."

"Well, those three already seem to be getting along so I have hope," Inko chuckled. "And Natsuo looks like he can keep them in line."

"You say that," Touya sighed, shaking his head while Fuyumi gave him a scolding look.

"Well, I guess so," she winked the two laughing as she did so.

"I understand that this is difficult, but to get away you need to submit a formal statement and we need to check on every one of your children,' Naomasa began, Rei nodding as Ritsuka sat beside her.

Her cousin was younger than people anticipated for a successful lawyer and professor on both global history and mythology and legends, he just turned 22. He often claimed that they were the heroes before the Era of Quirks and shouldn't be forgotten. Unfortunately his position as the professor of such subjects was terminated after lack of interest.

Which is why he hated them with such passion.

Not that he would do anything, it's just that he often yelled at Heroes when they 'saved' him.

As far as Rei knew he was quirkless, but made more than most professional heroes; being wanted for archeological digs and getting paid a hefty price. Something he liked to shove into the pro's faces when he could.

"Well, I am sure you have enough if you get the hospital records for Touya," Ritsuka sniffed. "That is more than enough evidence and then we don't have to traumatize the kids."

"Always thinking of others before yourself," Red shed, the other shrugging before he turned to the detective.

"Sooo, with this evidence and a statement from Rei we will be able to get her out of the marriage. And I do have evidence, no I know this was a quirk marriage!"

"Well that will centanly help the case."

"And the fact the Enji is scared beyond reason of me," Ritsuka shrugged. "I don't know what I did…"

"Aside the fact that you beat him senseless for insinuating that I was nothing more than a pack mule," Rei muttered.

"I didn't do that! How dare you say that," he gasped, Rei rolling her eyes before muttering about crazy cousins and thankful on how he was on her side.

It only took a month before Endeavor was arrested, charged with spousal and child abuse, his hero license revoked and sent to prison for the rest of his life.

The Bakugou's, while a rough and strange dynamic, had come in support along with Inko; the three families becoming close with how well their children were getting along.

Ritsuka had offered to let her continue college and become a nurse, while promising not to charge her until she gets a job and to allow her to use her funds from Endeavor for food and needs. Rei took it after seeing no way out of that deal and bought the house from him, sitting comfortably between the Bakugou's and Midoriya's.

Their neighbors, alumni of U.A., where the new and upcoming heroes. Present Mic and Eraserhead. Along with two friends who came over frequently. The R-Rated Heroine-Midnight and the Trubo Hero-Ingenium. They watched over the kids when the parents couldn't and Izuku was now a staple on Present Mic's radio show.

Touya and Fuyumi enjoyed their freedom while Natsuo played with the three toddlers, encouraging them to try new things while exploring on his own.

The three parents enjoyed their time with one another, believing they would be good friends forever, their children heavily believed it too.

Touya was getting trained by Aizawa, in efforts to control his quirk so he could get to U.A and show up his father; and he needed to do it soon since the entrance exam was in a few weeks. Fuyumi wanted to go into General Education and then to marketing to help promote heroes and keep blackmail on them, to ensure they didn't go out of line. Natsuo had the same idea, but he wanted to work under Touya when the time came.

The boys were still waiting for their quirks and Shoto was the first to get his.

Both boys watched as he created ice and fire, entranced by his dual quirk and the boy blushed at Midoriya's exclamation of him being one of the best heroes.

Bakugou was next and his explosions prompted the same type of awe that Midoriya showed Shoto, the two waiting excitedly for their friends.

But it would never come and their friendship would be tested the day they were being babysitted, and then saved by the man who would believe in them.

"What is going on here," Shouta demanded as Izuku cried on the ground with burn marks on his arms. Shoto was kneeling beside him and making ice to soothe the burns. "What happened."

"Deku said he wanted to be a hero,' Katsuki sniffed, Shouta jolting at the rude nickname before rage filled him. No...he had time to fix it...he needed to tell him now and then his parents...he could nip this in the bud.

"Oh...is that a bad thing," Shouta asked, coming up behind Midoriya and placing a hand on his impossibly fluffy hair.

"Yeah," Katsuki sounded like he was annoyed. They really needed to work on his attitude.

"Why?"

"Cause quirkless people can't do shit! They can't be heroes! They'd just get in the way," he stomped his foot.

"Oh really," Shouta raised a brow, Katsuki looked like he was doubting himself.

"Yeah!"

"Have you forgotten my quirk?"

"No," he sounded put out. "It's super cool!"

"But I can't use it in a fight," he said. "I can only erase a quirk and then I have to fight quirkless. Am I unable to do that?"

"But you have a quirk!"

"You know in America, many heroes their are quirkless," he said, the other gaping at him.

"What?"

"Mmmhhh," he nodded, Izuku looking up at him hopefully. "They train hard and fight with weapons that bind, like my scarf," he grabbed the item. "They get hurt, but people with quirks get hurt too."

"But my friends-"

"When did they become your friends?"

"Wh..when I got my quirk…" Katsuki was conflicted now.

"Do they know alot about you? About your actual favorite hero," he asked.

"No.."

"Do they know you make your own special sauce, because the store brands are too weak?"

"No…"

"Did they tell Shoto after he got his quirk to play with them and leave you and Midoriya?"

"Yes…"

"Were they rude to you?"

"Yes…" his voice was quivering.

"Do you want people to be rude to Midoriya and you to leave him? What would your mother say? Or Inko."

"T..they would be mad and upset," he began sniffling, Shoto grabbing his hand and Midoriya's.

"You three can be heroes, quirks or not," Aizawa told them, each looking up at him with such hope...with such hope that he knew he needed to be the ones to teach them. "When the time is right, we'll begin training. All of you. Now, Bakugou?"

"Sorry Izu," he sniffed, the memories of being left behind while others tried to get Shoto to join them coming back. "I...I don't want fake fuckers as my friends! I want friends that will eat my special spicy curry despite not liking it!"

"Kacchan," the boy cried, wrapping him in a one armed hug.

"Sorry," the boy cried harder as he stared at the injury he caused.

"We'll always support one another," Shoto said seriously, the two nodding as Shouta sighed.

'Crisis averted'

"Thank you," Mitsuki bowed after Shouta told them what happened. "We were worried about what was happening, but officially we could no nothing."

"As nothing was technically wrong," Shouta sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I get it."

'At least their friendship is preserved," Masaru sighed. "I can't imagine Inko not being my friend anymore! After 20 odd years," he gave a shaky laugh.

"Well," Aizawa shrugged.

"Now, I'm sure those three will be the greatest heroes and hero team in all of japan," Mitsuki winked, looking toward the sleeping boys. "Just you wait."
