Sports Festival pt. 2
Izuku pushed open the doors to the conference room to find Midnight and Mizuki engaged in pleasant conversation.
He bowed deeply. "I am so sorry for my tardiness I got quite turned around in the halls and could not find this destination."
Muzuki's and Midnight's attention turned to him. Izuku rose from his bow and went to sit by Mizuki. He was an entire 20 minutes late so the interview would only be 30 minutes instead of 50. God he felt terrible about that.
"Don't sweat it too much kid, I had a wonderful little conversation with Kayama-san." Mizuki reassured, placing a hand on his shoulder and giving it a quick squeeze.
"Oh yes! I must say your boss is quite the doll to talk to." Midnight added, she purred a bit when saying the word doll.
Izuku gave both of them grateful smiles and set up all of the equipment he had been lugging around.
"And we should be good to go in 3, 2, 1.....now."
At Izuku's mark the interview officially began.

Shouto was going to murder Momiko. He even told Ari as much.
Seriously, how stupid was he?? He left Shouto to babysit his kids without a simple explanation to the class or anything.
To be fair, Momiko didn't really owe Class 1A an explanation but still! Now Shouto had to deal with the fallout and his classmates questions. What kind of good for nothing friend was Momiko.
Oh well, at least he got to spend some quality time with the three kids he felt like he co-parented with Momiko most of the time.
Not like he thought of them as his kids, or as Momiko as a significant other! That would be crazy and a total lie....
"Hey Shoucchan, why is everyone looking at us?" Kuma asked, tugging on his pants leg. They had gone from the three of them on top of him to him sitting in a chair and they were around his feet.
"It's because your cousin is a big idiot and left you three here with me without telling anyone who he was or how he knew me." Shouto explained with a venomous smile.
"Yeah, Itoko is a idiot Ototo." Haru stated matter of factly.
"Haru! That's not nice!" Ari scolded "Sashi-nii is stupid, not an idiot."
Shouto burst out laughing. "Ari! Haru! Oh my god." He wheezed. Shouto barely even registered the shocked faces of his classmates, him laughing this hard might be quite the shock for them.
After he finally stopped laughing he made himself more comfortable in his chair and Kuma crawled up into his lap. Ari grabbed Haru's hand.
"Shoucchan! Do you mind if we go around the room and ask questions? Sashi-nii would probably want to do the same thing." Ari gave him her best puppy eyes, it didn't take long for Shouto to relent.
"Fine but don't be rude to my classmates okay? I'll tell Sashi if you do."
"Promise!" And with that the two girls were off to interrogate his classmates, poor bastards.
He sighed before giving Kuma his phone so the boy could play games on it. Shouto leaned his head back and closed his eyes, distracting his rising anxiety by carding his hands through Kuma's hair.
Surprisingly it took more than another 5 minutes before someone was finally brave enough to ask about the kids. Unsurprisingly it was Kaminari.
"Uhh dude? I didn't know you were so good with kids." Shouto cracked open an eye at the boys pitiful attempt at conversation.
"I'm terrible with kids. These three just go along with whatever I say since Miko says they have to." Shouto deadpanned, much to the amusement of Kuma.
"Shoucchan! Stop teasing him! You know we all love you!" The little boy giggled.
"Shhhh! Don't tell everyone my secrets Kuma!"
That only made the boy giggle harder as Shouto smiled down at the little boy. Kaminari was very obviously even more confused but Shouto wasn't going to explain whatever was happening in Shouto's life.
Yeah. He wasn't really sure what was happening currently either.
"Ookaayy" Kaminari drew out before backing away. Shouto snorted, if the boy was weirded out by that he would never survive a day with Momiko.
Suddenly he heard two shouts from across the room. "Sashiii! She hit me!"
Shouto looked up from where he had been tickling Kuma to see Momiko standing in the doorway with Ari and Haru latched onto his legs. Had it already been 30 minutes? Damn, time really does fly.
Momiko completely ignored the little girls who were now glaring at each other.
"EVERYONE! CAN I PLEASE HAVE YOUR ATTENTION?" The boys shout immediately got the room to fall silent as all attention turned to him.
"Thank you! Now Midnight-sensei would like for you all to file out and meet her at your designated entrance to the stadium. She said Iida-kun or Shinsou-kun would know we're that was. Another thing, under a strict order from Principal Nedzu me and my family will be sitting with you in the stands."
Ah, well, shit.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Izuku watched Class 1A file out of the room, keeping a tight hold on all of his kids. That goddamned rat was making him sit with the class so that they would have a constant tab on him.
He really needed to start working on clearing 'Momiko Hisashi' from any Rogue suspicion.
"Sashi-nii? What's wrong? You look mad." Eri asked, tugging on his fingers.
"It's nothing Imouto. Uncle and Otosan are just being difficult is all." His teeth were clinched in annoyance. Why did this have to happen to him?
All he had done was coincidentally taken in Ari, just like his vigilante persona, there was no real reason to even suspect 'Momiko Hisashi'! They definitely didn't suspect him because of how his meetings with Tsukauchi went. He knew perfectly well how to avoid his questions.
God. He hated the pro's on his ass so much sometimes. (That's a lie. They're family and Izuku knows it.)
Izuku let out a loud sigh and made sure he had a good grip on all of his kids. "Alright, we're going to the 1A stands. We should be the only ones there for a while but that does not mean you can be too loud alright?"
"Yes sir!" They replied in unison.
Izuku led them straight to 1A's viewing box since he had thankfully memorized where it was after Midnight showed him. He really didn't want to miss anything.
They all sat down in the first row of seats and watched as the audience got ready for it to begin.
"HEY! MAKE SOME NOISE YOU RABID SPORTS FANS!" Present Mic's voice blared across the stadium as it erupted into cheers. Welp. Here we go.
"GET THOSE CAMERA'S PREPPED MEDIA HOARDS!" Izuku almost snorted at the voice hero's name for the media.
"This year we're bringing you some of the hottest performances in Sports Festival history, guaranteed!" His voice lowered when he didn't have to scream into the mic to be heard over the audience.
"I've only got one question before we start this show! Are you ready? Let me hear you scream as our students make their way to the big stage."
Class 1A made their way into the field.
"This first group are no strangers to the spotlight, you know them for bravely withstanding a villain attack! The dazzling students of class 1A!"
The crowd went wild as Izuku and his siblings sweatdropped. That was quite the introduction for Class 1A, hopefully the others classes will get at least a fraction of that.
"They haven't been getting nearly as much screen time but this next group is still chock full of talent, welcome hero course Class 1B!" The 1B students joined the 1A on the field.
"Next up, General studies class C, D, and E! Support classes F, G, and H! And finally business classes I, J and K!"
Wow Mic. Way to not be biased.
"GIVE IT UP FOR ALL OF U.A.'S FIRST YEAR CONTESTANTS!" The crowd absolutely roared as all of the classes were herded into the middle of the field.
"Now the introductory speech!" Midnight announced from her platform on the field, immediately all the guys in the stands were oogling at her.
"SILENCE EVERYONE!" She commanded, "And for the student pledge we have Bakugou Katsuki!"
Oh goddammit.
Bakugou stalked up to the mic on the platform and the crowd quieted slightly so that he would be able to be heard. There was no way in hell Katsuki was going to say anything remotely decent.
"I just wanna say, I'm gonna win."
There it is! The signature Katsuki attitude.
What a great way to start off the Festival.
