Interlude: Decisions

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Hisashi found that he got another call at about four in the morning, from the untraceable phone, so he made sure Inko was fast asleep before heading outside to answer the call, though he wasn't surprised to find that Nightmare had thought about the conditions he had given her previously.

"So, what did you decide?" Hisashi asked, because if she took his offer there were a few things he needed to do before his wife woke up, while at the same time he would need to contact the good doctor and arrange for him to bring Nightmare to the station where they would be taking Celestia, though if she declined the offer he would need to find her a place inside his darker organization.

I gave it some thought, and... well, I decided to take you up on your offer, even though the idea of being Celestia's sister sickened me a little. Nightmare replied, though at the same time Hisashi noted that there was more she wanted to say on the matter, in fact it sounded like she had been thinking about this since their talk yesterday and it must have kept her up for quite some time, which he would have to ask Kurogiri about, It's just... I want to be angry with her, for what happened in our past, but a part of me can't properly focus that anger and rage on someone who doesn't remember those events. So I want to see if I can get along with this version of her, even if it sickens me... and I guess that means I should start calling you 'father' now, right?

"Nothing would please me more, 'Selene', my wonderful 'daughter'... oh, and if 'father' is too much for the time being, you can always use 'dad'. Whatever works for you." Hisashi said, though he knew there was much to do now that there were two new members to the family, along with telling Inko about Selene, and he was fortunate to know of a house nearby that the owners were moving out of, a place with room for them and three kids, "I'll call the good doctor and set things up for you to be brought to his hospital, where the family and I will arrive to pick you up so we can head to the office to complete the adoption process."

Where I'm sure someone works for you and will get things squared away in no time? Nightmare, or Selene, inquired, as she knew who Hisashi was and suspected that he had all sorts of contacts, meaning there were all sorts of rules he could just break in a legal manner, before she sighed for a moment as she considered what she was doing, and the emotions she was going to be dealing with in the future, Well, I guess I'll leave you to your business... father.

Hisashi smiled for a moment as the call ended, though once that was done he placed two more calls, the first one was to the good doctor so they could use all of the scans and medical tests they had done on Selene when he first discovered her, as he intended on remaining true to his word. The second was to an ally that was in the public services, who he was using to keep a special young boy out of the light and out of the records, since having his information in the public would be disastrous for the future, but before that he used a voice changer app on his phone. It was purely to make sure none of his lesser allies could pinpoint who he was, in fact most of his allies these days almost never saw him, Garaki and Kurogiri were the only two he trusted with his true face and voice, which was three now with Selene. Of course he was waking the person on the other end up, but they were used to his calls coming at random and took notes of everything he had to say, as he wanted the pair processed with ease, even though part of the wait would be necessary when they got to the building.

He knew that Izuku would love his new siblings and would no doubt bond with them, though at the same time he was eager to see what sort of Quirks they developed, because Garaki was sure Selene would be able to manifest one and that meant Celestia had to be the same way. Then there was Izuku himself, as Hisashi was sure his son would gain a Quirk of his own at some point, which was eating him up because if it was a normal Quirk he could leave Izuku alone, but if it was something like his own Quirk then he needed to take it before someone realized what was going on. That was why he and the good doctor were keeping an eye on his son, as he cared for his son and didn't want harm to come to him, and if he got a Quirk like the one called 'Decay', which turned all sorts of things to dust if one placed all five fingers of a hand on the item or person that was their target, it would be a disaster. Sure, he had Quirks that would allow him to lull people to sleep and make them even forget things, but that would only clean up some of the effects, so he was hoping to avoid a nasty clean up, and even if Izuku ended up Quirkless he knew there were powers out there that he could take and give to his son, who would likely be more deserving than their current owner.

Once his own work was done, and he was satisfied with the plans he had sent in motion for tomorrow, Hisashi returned to his bed and went back to sleep for a time, since he knew that once the sun rose they would be quite busy with Celestia, and that wasn't counting when he introduced Selene to them.

When morning fully arrived Hisashi rose to meet it, getting ready like he usually did when he was home, though today he had something special planned that would change the family as a whole, but for the time being he focused on breakfast as Inko helped Celestia wash up. It was still amazing to him that the two girls could have arrived in two different places and one would have memories of whatever happened before someone found them, the other having no memories, it was something he couldn't stop thinking about since there was a mystery there. For now, however, he knew that revealing too much would be a bad thing, especially if All Might or certain members of the government found them, in fact taking them now meant the government would be deprived of their corruption, but it was hard to tell how they would take to the hero society that was part of the world. It even extended to whatever Quirks they got, because based on how corrupt a government was they would use talented children to do all sorts of nasty things, which really made him laugh at times, that he was the 'villain' when those on the heroes side could be even worse than he was.

Eventually he smiled as Izuku and Celestia joined him at the table, Inko smiling as she looked at all of them, especially when Celestia enjoyed the breakfast that was made for everyone, because this was worth fighting for, the happiness of his family, even if it meant continuing down the path of a villain.

After breakfast, and making sure everyone had a chance to wash up, Hisashi and Inko lead the pair outside and locked the door, he didn't want anyone to take their possessions, before getting into the vehicle that he owned, a black car that was large enough for him, Inko, and Izuku, and it had room for two others. It wasn't an impressive car, he didn't want to draw any unwanted attention to himself or his family, but it was designed to use a lower amount of gas than some of the other cars that were on the streets. Normally he didn't use such a thing, in fact he had Kurogiri warp him to and from, but this was far special occasions, even Inko preferred to walk, so he was the only one that bothered to use it, and it was a good way for him to get them to the hospital that Garaki worked at. He knew it was going to raise some questions, especially from Inko, and he was hoping that her trust in him, and her love, would cause her to see that he didn't tell her since he didn't want to worry her more than before.

"Honey, what are we doing here?" Inko asked, as she knew that Izuku wasn't due for another appointment for some time, plus Celestia had been bothered the entire time after she found her in the alley, though in the following moments she saw Garaki standing outside, waiting for someone to arrive, with a pony girl that was Izuku and Celestia's age standing near him.

"I didn't want to tell you until the good doctor had a chance to look over her. Just like you I found a girl in an alley, and she's just like Celestia." Hisashi replied, though at the same time he brought the car to a stop and opened the door, allowing the pair in back to come out for a moment as Inko walked over to his side, her eyes locked on the girl as she understood what he had been thinking when he discovered the mutant girl, "This is Selene, and the good doctor called me earlier to tell me that he's cleared her, just like he cleared Celestia when you brought her here yesterday. I was going to surprise you and Izuku, but we both had a surprise visitor show up... and don't worry, I was already planning on upgrading to a new place, so we'll have plenty of room for all five of us."

Inko smiled as she listened to her husband, as it was wild that one of them would encounter a lost girl in an alley and decide to adopt her into the family, but for both of them to have the same event happen, and come to the same conclusion, just put a smile on her face, as it just made her love her husband all the more.

"Hey there, I'm Celestia and this is Izuku. What's your name?" Celestia asked, as she was definitely interested in the girl that was in front of them, even though she and the boy next to her had no idea what the grown ups were talking about, but she had a good feeling about the girl, even though this was her first time meeting her.

"I'm... Selene. It's, um, nice to meet you two." Selene replied, where Hisashi was actually impressed, because she was either doing a good job at acting like her earlier anger and hatred didn't exist, and was bottling them up, or she had a mechanism in her that was suppressing those memories, much like the boy that he and the good doctor had worked on previously, but he said nothing on the matter, as she was doing quite well already.

Inko stood there for a moment as she approached the girls, who turned and looked at her, before she smiled and embraced both of them, along with Izuku, where it was plainly obviously that she loved the idea of adopting both into the family and that she wasn't about to leave either girl behind. Hisashi smiled, as he was pleased with the fact that his wife was willing to accept another child into the family, which meant that Celestia and Selene were going to become 'Celestia Midoriya' and 'Selene Midoriya'. It had a nice ring to it, he had to admit that fact to himself as he watched them, all while he could tell that the good doctor was eager to see what sort of Quirks the sisters manifested, just like he was eager to see their powers with his own eyes, as he had seen the scans of their bodies and agreed that both of them would manifest Quirks. At the same time he suspected that even if their Quirks were dangerous he wouldn't take either of them from his new daughters, but that was a bridge he would have to cross in the future, so for the time being he smiled and approached his new family.

There was still the paperwork to fill out, to make everything official, but he wasn't worried by that at all, allowing him to focus on his son and his new siblings, because there was a bright future ahead of them and he was eager to see everything that happened with new family.
