Really? We're family?!
Bakugo got up a bit early and made her, her morning coffee before going to get himself ready for class. Shinta woke up not long after he had set up coffee down on her nightstand. When she opened her eyes and saw the cup she smiled and enjoyed her coffee while she got ready for class. Checking her wings in the mirror she saw that most of her feathers had grown back in, right as shinta went to leave her room she finally turned her phone back on and it went off with a bunch on missed calls and texts from the days she was missing. The one message that got her kind of excited was one from hawks 'The genetic results are in. I have the envelope at my agency come by after school, make sure to have someone come with you until we catch all of the guys who took you'.
Shinta figured she would ask Shoto to go with her, it felt right seeing as it was a possible family thing for her. She was able to quickly ask him before classes started for the day. "Hey after school will you go with me to hawks agency? He got something he and I need to go over in the mail while I was missing" shinta asked him after she was able to pull him aside before they went in the classroom. "Oh yea sure. Surprised you didn't ask Bakugo" he said jokingly to her and she blushed some "oh hush, I asked you because its a family thing" she said to him and his expression went serious "Alright sis, I'll be there" he said and they went in to class. Aizawa explained for the next month everyone was going to be doing work studies again, but with different agencies from before. The school wanted their students to have as much experience as possible. Word had been spread among the pro heroes in the area that the LOV may try to move in to get Kurogiri back soon. "Now we also want you guys to work in groups this time as well. So get in your groups and figure things out" he said to everyone and waved Shinta to come up to the front. "There is someone I want you to get to properly meet again after school. So come by the house for dinner tonight. Also the safety commission still has its suspicions about you and they want you to stick with the same agency to keep better watch on you" he explained to her "yea makes sense. Alright ill be there" she said to him before going back to her seat everyone in their groups and had everything taken care of by the end of the day. After school Shoto met up with shinta and they headed to hawks agency.
Shinta was both excited and nervous about the information they would hear from hawks. After receiving the news Shinta was going to head home for dinner like her father had asked. The news she was about to receive would make her happy beyond belief. When the two arrived hawks was in his office finishing some paperwork waiting for her to get there. "Hey, I'm here. Shoto came with me" Shinta announced as the two entered his office. Hawks quickly finished his paperwork before grabbing the envelope. He was just as nervous as her for the answer. Shinta went over to look over his shoulder at the papers as he opened the envelope. Shoto sat in the chair by the desk waiting still not really sure what was going on. "So what is this you guys are acting so weird about?" He asked and hawks gave him a weird look. "Keigo did some digging and found out it's possible my mom and his dad were siblings. So we had some genetic testing done to see if we are related" Shinta told him and Shoto smiled softly seeing her excitement. Hawks opened the envelope finally and the two looked over the papers. Just as hawks had thought Shinta was in fact his cousin. His father and her mother were siblings. "So looks like my suspicion was right. I'm glad we are getting ready to do work studies again. Maybe I can teach you few new things cuz" Hawks said jokingly and shinta playfully punched him in the shoulder. "You guys should head on back before it gets too late" hawks told the two after the three spent some time just hanging out together.
When Shinta got home she did her normal thing of switching to her house slippers "Dad I'm home" she called out before she heard the sound of little feet running on the floor. The sound of those feet sounded familiar and she turned around seeing eri coming down the hall "Flame!!" Eri cheered as she got closer Shinta kneeled down and eri hugged onto her happily. "Glad to see you're doing well" shinta said happily to her "Your my big sister now" Eri said to her as shinta picked her up and they went to find Aizawa. Of course he and Shinso were out back training like always. "Well I think Eri here told me your surprise" she said chuckling at the two. Shinso was happy to see her at home again, he knew things had been hard. Shinso was the only person beside hawks to know that dabi is her brother, he wanted too talk to her about it. "Welcome home. Yea I adopted Eri once she was cleared to leave the hospital, figured she would be a nice addition to our family of misfits" Aizawa said chuckling some. Shinta got quiet when he brought up family and Eri could tell something was wrong "no don't be sad" she said cutely and shinta smiled softly at her before putting her down. "I'm fine. Go ahead and play" Shinta said to her and Eri ran along.
"I'm going to go start dinner. I'll call for you when its ready" Aizawa said before he headed inside as well closing the door behind him He could tell that Shinso wanted to talk with Shinta. This way he could keep Eri distracted as well from bothering them. Aizawa and Eri went into the kitchen and started making dinner. "So I'm just gonna cut to the chase. It bothers me knowing that Dabi is your brother" Shinso said to shinta as they got into sparring position. They would always practice hand to hand when they did their talks. It helped them both work through the emotions. Shinta got ready as well before taking the first move. "Really and why is that?" She asked Shinso as he blocked her punches. "Because I don't want to see you become like him" he said to her those words made her freeze up and when he went to kick her the hit landed instead of her blocking it and she fell backwards "Based on your reaction, your thinking it to aren't you? I am not using my quirk I want to know the truth" he said to her as he tried to help her up. Shinta took that moment to gain the upper hand pulling him down to the ground pinning his arms with her knees "Yes I'm afraid that I may go dark. Please keep it between us. If the safety commission finds out they will definitely revoke my hero license" she said to him with puppy dog eyes or well her best attempt at them. Shinso sighed and was able to push her off pinning her instead his hands holding hers down "Fine, but if they ask me directly I won't lie" he said before releasing her from his hold getting up. Shinta nodded getting up as well "That's all I can ask of you honestly" she said and they exchanged small smiles before Aizawa called them in for dinner.
As they all sat there at the table Shinta just felt kind of out of places for some reason. With Eri living there she also worries about her if she were to lose it. It was an internal struggle for her, people were finding out her secrets and she didn't quite know how to handle that. It was as if Aizawa could tell something was bothering shinta as he looked over at her "don't worry, everything it gonna be fine" he said to her in the most reassuring voice and shinta smiled "thanks dad" she said before finishing up her dinner. Shinta was happy to have Eri there she had a little sister who always smiled, that smile just made her feel at ease. After dinner Shinta and Eri cleaned up from dinner before Shinta got ready to head back to the dorms. Aizawa stopped her as she was putting her shoes on to leave "Hey hold on a sec. I just wanted to say no matter what I will always care about you. You are my daughter after all. I know you are worried about you becoming a villain. I don't care if that happens your still family I will try to protect you when I can. I will say this though if it happens all I ask is you try to distance yourself from your friends and us. It would be safer for everyone that way" he told her. Shinta didn't say anything back just nodded to him before she headed out, he knew what she meant and that was all that mattered. Both Aizawa and Shinso could see the toll the situation had put her under; they were almost expecting her to turn on the heroes at this point.
When shinta got back to the dorms everyone was relaxing in the common area watching a movie. Shinta debated joining them before deciding to go make herself some hot tea and to go sit on the roof. Bakugo and shoto both noticed something was off with her and looked at each other the. Back towards the kitchen "your turn" shoto said to him "I went with her to hawks agency earlier. Found out that they are actually cousins apparently" Shoto told him and Bakugo groaned annoyed "yea what ever icy hot" Bakugo said before he got up heading into the kitchen after Shinta. When Bakugo walked into the kitchen he was shocked by the sight he saw before him. He had never seen Shinta really breakdown before in any kind of way, when he walked in he saw Shinta sitting on the ground on her legs crying her wings around her tryin to hide her but it was still very obvious. It be kind of hard to miss a winged girl crying on the floor in the middle of the kitchen. Bakugo took a deep breath before he walked over to her and kneeled down in front of her. "Hey teddy bear, whats wrong?" He asked her and placed his hand on her knee seeing as it was all he could see through her wings. As Soon as Shinta heard his voice she peeked out from behind her wings some and just shook her head no. That single silent gesture said all he needed to hear and he nodded. Bakugo stood up and working around Shinta he made her the tea she was trying to make. He called Kirishima over meeting him at the door to the kitchen so he wouldn't see Shinta crying "take this up to the roof for me. It's for shinta I'm bringing her up in a moment, she is having one of her 'bird brain' moments" bakugo said to his friend who with no questions asked nodded and took the cup doing as he was asked. Bakugo then went back to Shinta who had put her wings back in their rested position and looked up at the ash blonde with red eyes. He came over looking as angry as ever but he gently picked her up bridal style and she just held onto him. Bakugo carried her the entire way to the spot she always went on the roof. Shinta held onto him not saying a word just listening to his hearts normal beat pattern and his breaths. She didn't know if it was his deep breaths or the rapid beating of his heart but the sounds began to soothe her as he set her down on a bean bag chair that he had recently got for her for when she sat up there. It was better than the concrete, and she hadn't seen what he had done yet.
After setting her down bakugo sat on another been bag right beside her "So while you were gone I made few alterations to your nook up here after getting Aizawa's permission" he said to her before handing her the cup of tea. "Thank you Katsuki" she said softly taking the tea "so I will tell you everything but I need you to promise me one thing first. What I tell you keep it between us, and don't let it effect your work studies please" she asked him which surprised him some "yea, I'll keep it between us" he said to her listening very intently to her. Bakugo knew if she was going to tell him something she wanted kept secret it must have been very important. "So as you know Aizawa adopted me. He did that when I was 13, he adopted me from one of the youth centers for mentally unstable kids" she said starting with small bits of information because depending on his questions depended on what she said next. Bakugo was shocked to hear where she was before she was with Aizawa. "If I can ask what happened exactly before he adopted you? All I know is that you said Shoto is your brother" bakugo said to her, Shinta could see hints of concern in his eyes. "This is the part that you can not let effect your work studies….My real name is Todoroki Shinta" she said looking down expecting him to lose it after hearing that. Knowing that Bakugo would probably start putting two and two together before she even said anymore. Bakugo's face went blank at those words and they sat there in silence for a moment while he processed it. "So you're telling me that our number one hero just abandoned his kid?" He asked in a condescending tone.
Shinta didn't take it the way it sounded however and nodded. "Technically he abandoned my big brother touya and threw me out. It was the same night Todoroki Touya went missing. From what I know my mom died when I was a year old, Endeavor taking to to the todoroki home. I am only Shoto's half sister, Touya was the only one there that took care of me. Shoto's mom would do the bare minimum leaving it all to Touya pretty much. Once I was around four he started my training, he has always been so concerned with have a child that would surpass all might. Some of my burns are from that training" she said taking a break in the story again to let him digest the information.
