My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire

Hisashi found that after he embraced his daughters, and they finally had a chance to relax a little, Celestia focused of using her healing powers on his battered body, with little regard to how much she was pushing herself right now, while Selene and Toya made sure he was comfortable. The warm light of her healing power was a nice change of pace, where he found that the damage he received from All Might started to retreat before his very eyes, something he was still getting used to since he hadn't been expecting to receive such a gift. The damaged skin started to mend and turn pristine, the scarred tissue was simply receding as the warmth continued to spread around him, and when Hisashi felt his nose finally coming back he took a moment to undo his mask fragments, letting them fall to the floor as he breathed fresh air for once. This had been his hope when he first learned that Celestia had the power to heal, that she would be able to undo all of the damage he had taken from All Might, something that caused him to smile a little as he let Celestia heal his wounds.

Selene, on the other hand, remained sitting next to her father, making sure he was fine and that he had everything he could possibly want right now, and right now the only thing Hisashi wanted was to be with his children, and to see the aftermath of his clash with his foe.

"Dad, you don't have to watch All Might's victory." Selene commented, though at the same time Toya turned the television on and changed it to the news, where they found that the heroes were tending to those that had been on the edge of the arena or were cleaning up the rubble, while it looked like all of the reporters were saying that the damage was due to the villain that All Might had been fighting, just as Hisashi predicted.

"I know, but that's not what I'm interested in." Hisashi replied, as he knew Toshinori better than his daughters, he hunted the eighth User of One For All for a long time and only fought him once, the one that changed his life, and because his foe had passed on his Quirk, to Izuku no less, he suspected that there might be a message in his foe's victory scene to the world.

Sure enough they watched as the sun started to rise, which was when the weakened and weary hero, who was focused on where Hisashi had been standing in before Selene opened the gate that saved him, finally raised his hand and pointed right at the camera.

"You're... next." Toshinori stated, where it was obvious that he wasn't referring to the remaining villains that were scattered throughout Japan, rather Hisashi already knew who this statement was for, there was only one person the dried up hero could be referring to and only one person, other than him, who would understand this short statement.

"And there it is: he's telling Izuku that he's next... that it's time for him to step up as the next User of One For All, since he's burned out his embers." Hisashi said, though he could only imagine the emotions that were raging in his son's mind at this very moment, because All Might would be retiring in no time and that meant the entirety of Japan would be shaken by the aftermath of their battle, especially since his son wasn't ready for the burden his teacher was now placing on him, "Though everyone else will take it as Toshinori threatening the rest of the villains that they're next, since too many believed in the 'invincible' nature of their No 1 hero."

"Well, you don't have to worry about All Might anymore. The battle's over, and Celestia's mending your body." Selene stated, because she had put up with her father being kept from the rest of the family for too long, and now that the public knew his villain persona had been wiped out, either dead or limping into hiding, she knew that they didn't need to hide him anymore, especially since Celestia was tending to Hisashi's wounds, "Once she's done we should be able to get you back home and we can continue living as a family... we might have to come up with a believable story, since mother is going to be surprised by your sudden return."

Hisashi rubbed Selene's head and told her that she didn't have to worry, he had an idea on what to do and told her to leave this to him, he wasn't going to get involved in anything major, as his plan was to check in with the good doctor, make sure everything was in order, and then he was going to head home. With Celestia erasing the scarred nature his head had been forced to endure for so long, and not being able to see or breathe normally, he would be able to head home at last, but he also knew he needed to make sure no one suspected anything, hence his visit to Garaki. The good doctor would be able to connect him to Kurogiri, and together the three of them would ensure he had a story that no one would question, so once that was done he would be able to officially return to Japan as Inko's husband and the father of three wonderful children, as it was time to place his All For One persona on the shelf and forget about it at long last. He even found that Celestia tended to his hair as well, allowing him to regain the hair he had before his fateful first clash with All Might, making it look like there had been no damage to his body, causing him to smile as he embraced both of his daughters again.

He did know there would be more to do after he got back to living with his family, especially with Tomura still at large, but that was something he would worry about once he was done with the main thing he wanted to do first, causing him to look forward to what Inko and Izuku would do when they realized he was back at last.

Toshinori sighed as he sat in the hospital bed that he had been brought to after 'defeating' All For One, where he made sure to put on a show by revealing his muscular form one last time with his iconic pose, thus allowing people to see his 'victory', and once everything was said and done he was secretly transported to this room. During the transport he had been lost in thought, he knew he hadn't defeated his foe, the Dark Lord himself, because someone happened to save the bastard right before his United States of Smash made contact, he was positive of that fact. It was an annoying fact, that he would use up all of his power with the sole purpose of sending All For One to prison, to finally bring an end to the fight that had been going on since One For All's creation, and yet they were back at square zero, not even square one. His embers were gone, while at the same time his ancient enemy was still out there, meaning that his statement to Izuku in the past, that his student would have to fight All for One at some point, something the boy wasn't even remotely ready for, hence 'square zero'.

It pained him to admit such a thing, especially after all his hard work to make sure his foe was finally captured, but there was nothing he could do at this point in time, his time as the Symbol of Peace was over, meaning it was fully up to Endeavor and the rest of the heroes.

"Toshinori, are you all right?" Gran Torino asked, though he was no longer in his hero attire, he was just an old man again, all while their police friend was sitting on a stool nearby, because there was information he needed to be given so they could continue their search for Tomura.

"No... my embers are gone, One For All has fully left me... the 'Symbol of Peace' is dead and the 'Lord of Terror' is still free to do what he pleases." Toshinori replied, where he knew that this information wouldn't be revealed to the public, because as far as the people of Japan were concerned he had crushed All For One and popped him like a grape, unaware of the fact that his foe had escaped and was out there, plotting in the shadows once more, "I've failed..."

"There's also the fact that he told you that Tomura was, in fact, Nana's grandson... that's quite a bombshell." Gran Torino said, which was the truth, especially since he knew that Toshinori loved his mentor with all his heart and wouldn't be taking this news well, hence why he was thinking about this and what it meant, especially with how broken Tomura was.

"This is All For One we're talking about... could he have been lying the entire time?" Naomasa, their cop friend, asked, due to the fact that he had listened to their tales about the dark figure that held literally every dark title that indicated that he was an evil person, in fact he had worked with Toshinori for a long time to bring the figure down, so he suspected this might be more lies to distract people from what was truly important.

Gran Torino shook his head and told Naomasa that neither he nor Toshinori had contact with Shimura's family, it was what she wanted, but the reason he was willing to accept that All For One was telling the truth was due to the fact that it had done a lot of damage to Toshinori's mind when he talked with his foe. That happened to be why he chewed out his student all the time, because this was twice now he had exchanged words with the greatest evil in the world and both times it ended up benefiting All For One in the end, so there was no reason to doubt his statement about Tomura. It really was sad to see that Nana's grandson would turn out like he had, a person so full of hate for hero society that he wanted to destroy everything he hated, to the point that he worried Tomura might seek Japan's utter and complete destruction. He also wished that they had noticed this a lot sooner, because maybe they could have prevented Nana's grandson from becoming the villain everyone now had to deal with, but knew there was no use crying over what couldn't be changed.

It did bring to mind a few things that All For One had said when he was clashing with Toshinori, two pieces of information that could be used against their foe at some point, which was why Gran Torino looked up at the distracted former No 1 for a moment and decided it was time to ask him.

"You're thinking about what he said, aren't you? About how those that attacked you before both you and All For One dealt those wounds might have been innocent?" Gran Torino asked, as he knew his student better than anyone else, except for All For One of course, and suspected that this had to be bothering Toshinori, who simply continued to stare at his arm, like he didn't want to admit that he might have sent innocent people to jail, "Or are you thinking about the fact that he claimed that Izuku was his son?"

"No... no, that one is a lie. There is no way that THAT bastard would settle down and have a kid." Toshinori replied, because while he believed most of what All For One told him, since it was in his foe's nature to have damaging truths to attack his foe's with, this was one of those times that he utterly refused to believe what he had been told, especially since that would mean he took Izuku, Selene, and Celestia's father away from them for so long, before he heard a phone beep.

"Oh, that's mine... apparently a villain tried to attack one of the airports." Naomasa said, not that he was surprised, there was always someone trying to take advantage of the heroes being busy elsewhere, and he found that the villain had a Quirk that either messed with one's gender or hormones, his cop friends were unsure right now, before raising an eyebrow, "And it looks like someone who can breathe fire was defending the other citizens before a hero arrived."

Toshinori thought about that for a moment, remembering how Izuku had said that his father had a fire breathing Quirk, yet his student had been unable to manifest a power from either of his parents, before deciding to discard the thought as he leaned back in his bed and braced himself for whatever the coming days had in store for him and society as a whole.

Hisashi found that Garaki was more than willing to help him out, and it wasn't long before they were able to put a plan into action, allowing him to 'enter' Japan through one of the airports with a number of travelers or concerned individuals that were here to visit family members. He wasn't expecting to be able to get the plan into action so quickly, but he was happy for it since this discovery meant that he would be able to return home and not have to hide anymore, which was why he was so grateful for his daughters since they had given him his old life back. The other thing he hadn't been expecting was for him and the citizens to be attacked by someone who either couldn't control his Quirk or he knew how to wield it and was simply attacking because he felt like it, nor was he expecting the Quirk to be such an odd one. That was due to the fact that it let the man bend the gender of those he hit with a faint pink beam, as originally it seemed like a hormone Quirk, but since it was a quick process he was able to figure it out, thus allowing him to attack since the man tried to hit him and those that were right behind him.

In the end all he used was his Fire Breath Quirk, the one he told his family about, to hold off the would be villain before they were saved by a hero, and since Garaki happened to be there as well, to collect something for his lab, this allowed him a chance to obtain some samples of the would be villain's blood.

"Really? I'm surprised you would care about such a power." Selene commented, since her father went through the effort to make sure the blood was collected for her, though she had come along to make sure the plan went off without a problem, all while Celestia had gone home to rest and wait for Izuku's return, and their return in due time.

"It's actually for you. Maybe you can teach that pervert in your class a lesson?" Hisashi remarked, as he didn't like Minoru at all, he was the only one he thought wasn't worthy of being a hero and would falter at a critical point, thus costing people in some manner, especially if the boy's focus was solely on being a pervert, "Sometimes a taste of one's own medicine is the best way to make them learn a lesson."

Selene said nothing to that, even though she did think that her father's idea might be worth looking into later, but for now her focus was on them getting through the city, allowing Hisashi to take in the sights that had been denied to him for a long time, and eventually they were able to reach their home, where she found Celestia nodding to them.

"Hey guys, I'm home." Selene said, speaking as she entered the house, where she found that Izuku was resting on the couch as Celestia stood nearby, while Inko was worrying over Izuku since he had been out for a long time without telling anyone what he had been doing, causing her to step to the side for a moment, "And look who I bumped into outside."

Both Inko and Izuku paused in what they were doing to look back at Selene, which was when their eyes widened instantly as they laid eyes on Hisashi, who stood there with a smile on his face, something that caused Inko to run and throw her arms around him, tears in her eyes, while Izuku wiped the tears from his eyes as he also embraced his father.

"Hisashi... why didn't you call and tell me you were coming home?" Inko asked, as usually her husband was pretty good at the long distance communication, allowing them to speak whenever there were important updates on what the kids were doing, and she had been thinking of calling him after everything that happened with the summer camp.

"I heard about the attack and decided to come home... don't worry about work, I made sure everything was covered. I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." Hisashi replied, letting a smile grace his face as well, especially when the girls joined in to make it a whole family thing, and while he hated lying to Inko and Izuku he knew this was for the best, neither of them needed to know about his other life as the villain known as 'All For One', "I wanted to surprise you guys, that's all."

Selene also hated the fact that they couldn't tell her mother or her brother the truth, and she could see that Celestia didn't like doing this either, but all three of them knew that it was better this way, as Inko and Izuku didn't need to know the truth about Hisashi, and right now she suspected that they would never share the truth with them. When they finally separated she found that their father moved his suitcase, one he had quickly prepared thanks to Garaki helping him, into his room so he could unpack and relax, giving her and Celestia a chance to check in with Izuku. Both of them has suspected that he might do something stupid, especially since Katsuki had been brought to the cops after the battle All Might was in, but for the time being neither of them decided to chew him out, as they suspected that someone else would do that for them once they got back to school. Selene also made sure the blood packs were well hidden for the time being, she eventually agreed with her father on the fact that Minoru deserved a bit of his own medicine, so she wanted to be prepared for when they went back to school later on.

Other than that there was nothing else for them to worry about, so she and Celestia relaxed with Izuku, having a normal and peaceful evening with their family, something that was well deserved after everything they had been through lately, causing both sisters to look forward to what the future held in store for them, their family, and the rest of their class.
