My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

Hisashi remained leaning against the wall until Kurogiri returned, where he had the shadowy figure keep an eye on the little girl they had discovered and made sure he knew to contact him if something happened, and once that was done he had the figure use his Quirk to get him back to his home. He, Inko, and Izuku lived in an apartment in Musutafu, a city located in the Shizuoka Province of Japan, which was a good distance away from the hideout he had just come from, because he wanted to ensure that his family wasn't caught in the crossfire, and this area was the safest possible. He found it to be ironic in a way, as he didn't like All Might and assumed that the figure held One For All, and yet Hisashi let his family live in this province since it was one that the figure seemed to patrol, so it was definitely safer in the grand scheme of things. The apartment itself held enough room for them and Izuku, it had two beds, a bathroom, and a living area, and while he knew that they could keep two children in the same room for a few years it would quickly escalate to them moving.

He had originally considered moving into an actual house, but Inko was the one who wanted the apartment, though if his wife wanted to adopt Celestia he knew they were going to have to move at some point, especially if she learned that he had found Nightmare, but for the time being he shelved that thought as he unlocked the door and headed inside.

"Honey, I'm home." Hisashi said, taking a moment to take his shoes off as he closed the door behind him, where he found that Inko was in the kitchen and was in the middle of making something light, though sitting at the table was his dark green haired son, Izuku, along with the pink haired girl his wife had found earlier.

He could tell that Celestia was definitely different from Nightmare, as the girl he had found was a mutant, but the one that was sitting next to his son looked like a human, something that made him wonder back to Nightmare's comment about the 'portal', meaning he had to ask her a long list of questions to understand everything. Izuku was in the middle of showing the girl some of his things, as in some of the books that Inko was teaching him how to read so he could be ready for school in a few years, and a few of his precious All Might toys, as in the ones made for youngsters like him. From what he could see right now Celestia was interested in what he was showing her, where it looked like she might have an interest in reading, to some degree anyway, even if it seemed like everything was new to her, a piece of information he filed away for later. Hisashi, like usual, kept his dislike of All Might contained as he smiled at his son, because Izuku loved his figures and toys and he wasn't about to deprive his son of them because of his personal feelings, something that would no doubt surprise the heroes if they ever learned the truth.

Inko was happy to see him and he kissed his precious angel without delay, as this was always the best part of his day, to just come home and relax with his family before he had to go back to being AFO, plus Inko had a way with food that was totally unmatched, because some days he wondered if she had a second Quirk that made her a great cook.

"So, that's Celestia. Did the police uncover anything?" Hisashi asked, acting as if he knew nothing about the girl that was next to his son, which wasn't hard since all he knew about her was what Inko had told him and the fact that Nightmare knew her, because anything he could learn about her might influence the other girl that had suddenly appeared in the city.

"No, and that's what worries me... there are no birth records, hospital visits, or any records of her existence. It's..." Inko said, where she paused for a moment as Hisashi thought about the information for a time, if Nightmare was to be believed the pair came through a portal, which meant they were either from another portion of the world or from another world entirely, and right now he didn't have enough information to make an educated guess, "It's like she didn't exist before today... and what's worse is that all she knew was her name and a few basics on how to talk... and, based on what I saw when she got up earlier, she also had trouble walking."

"Strange... a total blank slate." Hisashi commented, which was what it sounded like as he listened to Inko, because right now it sure seemed like both Celestia and Nightmare were being affected by the same things, save for one having no memories and the other had all of her memories, to which he offered his wife a soft smile, "Don't worry, I'll talk to her... see if I can get anything out of her."

Inko nodded and returned to her cooking, allowing Hisashi to walk over to his son and the girl that they were caring for, at least until they decided what to do with her since he knew the police would be interested in finding her a home, along with everything that could be learned about her.

"Hello, I am Hisashi Midoriya, Izuku's father... my wife told me that you've had an interesting day." Hisashi said, where he made it look like he was and friendly, and when he was with his family he really was, though he did catch his son's sudden hug and smiled as he embraced Izuku for a few seconds.

"So I've been told. I just... don't remember anything, other than the basket revealing my name." the girl replied, thought in the next few seconds Hisashi could see the look of confusion in Celestia's eyes as she looked at her hands, her feet, and the rest of her body, she really didn't remember anything about herself, the exact opposite of Nightmare, though Hisashi pulled her into the hug, something she seemed to appreciate as she sunk into it.

When it came to dinner he and Inko found that they had to show Celestia how to use the utensils and how to eat, which just cemented the fact that she had no memories of the last four years of her life, like everything had been deleted or sealed away in her head by someone's Quirk. To Hisashi this just raised more questions, she and Nightmare were two peas in an odd pod, two girls that were the same age that appeared in two different parts of the country at what he had to assume was the same time, and yet they were so different from each other. One was human, but had no memories of her past, while the other was a mutant that knew more than someone her age should, yet as far as he could tell neither of them had a Quirk of their own, nothing that could warp them across space and time like this, but, as Garaki said, he was sure they would likely manifest their powers soon. In the end Hisashi found himself agreeing with Inko, adopting Celestia seemed like a great thing to do, both because it looked like Izuku had bonded with her a little, he was at the age where such things happened, and due to the fact that he couldn't say 'no' to Inko, who brought light to his old dark heart.

While she tended to the pair, while thinking of the paperwork they would have to go through to adopt Celestia, Hisashi told her that he needed to get some fresh air and headed up to the roof, there were stairs outside leading up there, and when he was sure there was no one else in the area he pulled out his untraceable phone and contacted Kurogiri.

"Kurogiri, is Nightmare still awake? I need to tell her a few things." Hisashi said, because Nightmare's comment when he left her behind was bugging him, especially after realizing that her hatred for Celestia was essentially void right now, she was just a blank slate and she would be getting worked up over nothing, before he sighed, "If she's asleep that's fine, I'll just talk with her when I come back in the morning."

No need, I'm still up... first time having a body of my own, being able to sleep on my own time, and I'm too focused on all sorts of other things to even consider sleep. Nightmare stated, where it sounded like they had turned on the speaker function of Kurogiri's phone, which was fine since it was only them inside that particular hideout, as there was another boy he had taken in not that long ago and had hidden away in another hideout, What is it you wanted to talk about?

"I've met Celestia. She's human, she's four years old, just like you... and she has no memories." Hisashi replied, as he wanted to keep this as short as possible, though he could practically hear Nightmare's thoughts on the other side of the line, she had to be thinking about what this meant for her and her vendetta against Celestia, something she couldn't have now since the object of her revenge had no idea how she had wronged Nightmare, "I also overheard your comment as the good doctor and I left the room, about how annoyed you were that she 'got everything'... like you never had the chance to have what she had. I can offer you a place where you can have everything she has."

...Please tell me you aren't offering to make me a member of HER family! Nightmare remarked, though Hisashi could practically feel the hatred in her voice, she hated Celestia with every fiber of her being, which meant that the girl that was in his home had done something incredibly hurtful to make the pony girl hate her like this, and while normally he would twist her into his pawn with this information, like he did to another, he saw another path.

"No, I'm offering to make you my daughter, to make you a Midoriya... yes, you'd have to share with Celestia, but you would have a loving family, which it's clear you've never had before." Hisashi said, where he was aware of the fact that he usually used this skill of his to talk people along the path he wanted them to follow or to convince them of a truth he knew, and that this time he was using it for a somewhat different purpose, and he could hear the silence on the other side, "Of course I do have a few requests to make, if you decide to take my offer: first of all, you won't mention that I'm All For One, or that you know Kurogiri or the good doctor, or that you know where one of my hideouts is located. Second, I want you to pretend to just be a four year old girl, an ordinary girl that is learning about the world, and not let the hatred and anger that's within you to cloud your mind. Third, maybe take on a new name, as 'Nightmare' is more like what a villain would have and you're just a young girl, so people would treat you differently for it... I was actually thinking of 'Selene'."

Anything else? Nightmare replied, her tone revealing that while she was trying to remain indifferent right now there was a part of her that was actually considering this, and that was confusing her more than she was willing to admit, though it did tell Hisashi more than the girl intended to tell him.

"Yes, actually: if you accept my offer I want you to make an attempt to actually enjoy yourself... to place your feelings towards Celestia on the back burner and focus on the here and now." Hisashi replied, because he didn't want a ball of hate and anger in his home, not when it could bother Inko, his precious angel, which was why he wanted Nightmare to know that if she took this path she had to make an attempt and that he would hold her to it for as long as she was part of the family, "You want what Celestia will be getting... I get it, I really do... but I want you to promise that you'll set aside your anger and hatred and just be a little girl, being able to enjoy all sorts of new things. If not, then I'll help you some other way."

I... I... I need some time to think about this. Nightmare said, though this time he could sense the confusion in her, part of her wanted nothing to do with Celestia and wanted to make her life miserable, while the other part was hung on the fact that she could finally get a taste of what the object of her rage had been given before they came to this country.

Hisashi told her that it was alright to take as much time as she needed, it was a life changing decision they were talking about after all, and told her to use Kurogiri's phone when she came to a decision, though as the call ended he could only imagine what the future held for him and his family.
