My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

Selene found that sleep was elusive that night, her mind worried about her father since he was going to be fighting with All Might and could finally bring an end to his long quest to recover his brother's Quirk, but she forced herself to sleep and trust that he'd be back in no time. In the morning her family went about their mornings without Hisashi being there, a fact that they were used to since he had left on trips in the past, even if they were more for him to scout out existing Quirks to find a perfect match for Izuku. That dream seemed to be a distant reality now, since her father was likely in hiding after clashing with the Symbol of Peace, meaning it would be some time before Hisashi returned to them, maybe with the power that he intended on giving his son. In addition to that she noticed that the news mentioned was that several arrests had been made, all the minor villains and thugs that were sent to stall All Might, but there was no information on All Might himself or their father, so neither had been caught by the authorities.

Part of her hoped that their father would come walking through the door shortly after the news was aired, that he had done what he had set out to do and was no longer tied down by his desire to obtain his brother's Quirk, but the day went by and Hisashi remained gone.

It was the same the following two days, there was no sign of their father and the lack of calls from Kurogiri made her really wonder if something bad had happened to the man that had taken her into his family, had trained her how to use some of her Quirks, and loved her like she was his flesh and blood child. Hisashi was the reason why she had given this a chance in the first place, even though it had grown on her over the years, and it worried her that something might have happened to her father, especially after everything he had done for her and Celestia. Her love for her father was why she forced herself not to rush off and see what was going on, to trust that he was fine and that he'd be home soon, but even then she could only hold herself back for a short period of time. She noticed that neither of her siblings were remotely worried, thanks to the fact that Hisashi went on 'business trips' in the past, but that was due to the fact that neither of them knew what she knew about their father, and she was hoping it stayed that way.

When the night of the third day arrived, however, Selene decided that she couldn't take more waiting and left the house, after making sure Celestia, Izuku, and Inko were asleep, which was when she pulled out her phone and dialed the number that her father had given her some time ago.

"Kurogiri? Yeah, it's me... I need to check the hideout." Selene said, knowing that the figure was on the other side and that he would be interested in why she had called, at this point during the night, especially since the shadowy figure didn't sleep, or if he did she had never seen it, and it wasn't long before a gate opened in front of her.

Selene walked through it without delay, allowing it to take her to the bar before the gate was closed behind her, though she found that Kurogiri wasn't right behind the bar, he was revealing a secret doorway that seemed to lead into another part of the structure, one that her father likely designed in the past.

"I... was hoping to spare you this, but Sensei told me to admit you if you came looking for him." Kurogiri stated, referring to Hisashi as 'Sensei', just like Shiro did, as a sign of respect since he was the flag that many of them had rallied behind, their symbol of freedom from the injustices of hero society, even though All Might likely saw All For One as the 'Symbol of Evil' to be crushed.

Selene discovered why Kurogiri said that as he lead her into what appeared to be a medical room that the good doctor was in, but who was resting on the table broke Selene: it was her father, but his suit was ruined, his body was wounded, and his head had been wiped clean, as the upper part of his head looked like it was heavily scarred, preventing him from seeing or hearing, even breathing, as the only thing left was his mouth.

"No... no, no, no no, NO! Father!" Selene cried, rushing to the table as soon as she took in the sight of her wounded father, who had a tube attached to a hole in his throat to help him breathe, and a few small tubes that seemed to be feeding him with nutrients or liquids to help him, and it looked like his shattered mask had been altered somewhat to allow him to listen to the good doctor, all while stopped by his side with tears running down her face.

"S... Sel... Selene?" Hisashi weakly asked, his voice rough and strained from the damage that had been done to him, no doubt thanks to All might, something that was followed by him shifting somewhat as both the good doctor and Kurogiri moved to aid him, though once he was sitting up he carefully moved his hands as he embraced Selene, her tears dropping down onto his wounded arms and chest, "I'm... sorry... I failed... to... uphold my promise."

"It... It doesn't matter, father. I'm just glad you're alive." Selene said, though she found that she was unable to contain herself as the tears flowed, the sheer amount of damage that had been done to her father meant that he would no longer be able to have a normal life, as she was unaware of any Quirk that could mend this much damage in a short period of time, and even if one existed she had no idea how long it would take to copy it with her own Quirk, "And... And All Might?"

"Heavily damaged. Sensei delivered a devastating attack on All Might's stomach, enough that I can guarantee that there will be lasting damage, even if he survives." Garaki said, speaking so Hisashi could conserve his limited strength, even though it was clear that their boss was focused on tending to his crying daughter, but at the same time he noticed the look in Selene's eyes, how slit-like they became, not as much as Celestia's dragon eyes but still pretty close, like she enjoyed the fact that her father's foe had suffered greatly as well, "I have a little Nomu, allowing me to watch over certain people... namely Sensei, and those he's interested in... but I was too slow to react after seeing All Might getting ready to deliver the attack that left your father in this state. The left side of All Might's body is heavily damaged, in fact he'll likely bare the scars of Sensei's attack for many years to come, his stomach looked like it was in shambles and will need to be scooped out to perform a number of surgeries to repair his body, and it appears that his respiratory system will be severely damaged... I estimate that he'll be in the hospital for a few weeks, and even if he survives he'll be limited on how much he can do per day."

"He deserves to die... what sort of hero moves to kill his foes? I HATE HIM!" Selene remarked, where it was easy for the trio to tell that she was angry, there was venom in her voice as she talked about All Might, as she had thought he might be a good hero, and he might have been, but now the image of him in her head was forever sullied by what had happened to her own father, causing Hisashi to tighten his grip on her.

"I know you do... daughter... but let me bare your anger and hatred. You are free... to keep disliking him." Hisashi replied, as he knew that both Selene and Celestia had ideas about being heroes and he didn't want this to poison her against being one of the best, he already knew that Selene understood part of the darker side of society and would no doubt focus on helping correct the issues she knew about, "You want to be a... hero. So become one... become a better hero, set a standard for the following generations to follow... don't let... his poison... break you."

Selene said nothing to that, instead she let her father's presence calm her, despite the seething rage and hatred that was inside her, allowing silence to reign for a time, save for the sounds of the medical equipment that had been brought into the hideout so Garaki could work on Hisashi's body, before the good doctor gently touched their arms and caused them to start pulling away from each other.

"I know you would like to spend some time with your father, but Sensei needs his rest... I need to do some more work on his body and equipment so he's not in incredible pain all the time." Garaki softly said, as All Might's terrifying punch had dealt a lot of damage to All For One's head, which was why he had been working off and on for the last couple of days to repair Hisashi's body so he could call Inko and tell her that his 'business trip' was going to take longer than intended, while Kurogiri helped lay their boss back on the table, plus that wasn't counting all of the damage done to his body, "Please, go home and rest... it will put your father at ease knowing you and your siblings are safe."

"Sel... Selene... I never wanted... this." Hisashi weakly said, where it was clear that he was slipping back into unconsciousness so Garaki could continue his work on his wounded body and his head, but at the same time he seemed to be fighting it for a time, to give his daughter one last message before he fell asleep, and Selene knew that her father never intended to inflict this much pain on her, much less her siblings, "I love you... and Izuku... and Celestia. Remind them of... my love... okay?"

"Of course, father." Selene replied, taking a moment to kiss the side of her father's face, in an area that wouldn't hurt him, before she pulled back and followed Kurogiri back out into the bar area, where the figure closed the secret door before he opened a gate for her to use.

It didn't take her long to return to the backyard of her home, where she sniffed a few times as she wiped the tears from her eyes, though as she headed back inside Selene found that Celestia was opening the door to her bedroom, like she might have had a nightmare or something, and her sister was concerned.

"Selene, what's wrong?" Celestia asked, though at the same time Selene noticed that there was someone else in Celestia's room, Izuku she realized, meaning her brother must have had quite the nightmare and had run to their elder sister for some sort of comfort, while her sister was noticing the tears that Selene was getting rid of.

"I... I had an intense dream and needed some air." Selene lied, but where she normally would have been fine with lying to Celestia, since she didn't like her in the past, right now all she felt was shame, like she was saddened by the fact that she was just lying to her older sister's face, as she had grown to love Celestia and didn't want to lie to her, but she also wanted to keep her father's wishes in mind.

"Oh, sister. Come here." Celestia said, where it was clear that she was worried and Selene found that her sister hugged her not a few seconds later, though that was followed by them heading into Celestia's room for a moment, only for her to find that Izuku was on her sister's bed.

Celestia had Izuku get up for a moment as she shifted into her feral dragon form, the one that required her to walk on all fours like a beast, but she got onto the bed and laid down in a way that allowed Selene and Izuku to snuggle up next to her as she draped her wings over them, allowing them all to fall asleep as they braced themselves for whatever challenges the future might have in store for them and their family.
