Chapter 2
Zira's POV
I sat in the new house I bought for me, Izu, Mom and little Eri. I was looking out the window when I felt a pull on my pants when I looked down I saw our little Angel. I picked her up
'' Why are you awake Angel'' I asked quietly
'' Nightmare Bad Men'' she said quietly and I chummed and hugged her tighter to me. I knew she would fall asleep right away if I sang to her
'' How about a little song will this help'' I asked and when she nodded her head I started to sing:
Come little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadows
Follow sweet children
I'll show thee the way
Through all the pain
And the sorrows
Weep not poor children
For life is this way
Murdering beauty and passions
Hush now dear children
It must be this way
Too weary of life
And deceptions
Rest now my children
For soon we'll away
Into the calm and the quiet
Come little children
I'll take thee away
Into a land of enchantment
Come little children
The time's come to play
Here in my garden of shadows
When I finished I could feel her breathing calmly and knew that I had succeeded in sending her back to a peaceful sleep. After her nightmares at first, only Izuku could calm her down after her nightmares and for that he adopted her.
Eri trusted only him and did not want to be separated from him. After she met me and trusted me, I became the second person she goes to after them. I'm glad Izuku was able to save this Angel and I know he is a great father to her.
I was afraid to put her down for the reason that I would wake her up and she has a firm grip on my shirt. At such moments, magic enters the hand and I was able to continue finishing decorating the house without any problem.
I started humming a tune quietly when I felt Eri start wriggling in my arms and after a moment she calmed down. At such moments, I am reminded of how Izuku was at her age.
He would only fall asleep when I hummed to him or carried him in my arms. I was happy about this because Mama Inko could rest peacefully.
Izuku's dad was killed during an attack by villains. Izuku was only 7 months old and I knew it could be hard for us, but I knew we could handle it. I knew I had a lot of money because of my background in the Wizarding World, but Mom didn't want to use it even though I offered.
When I turned 11 I had access to money and used it to help my little family. Although I have British ancestry and am a Lady from the four houses of Hogwarts, I went to the School for Wizards and Sorceresses in Japan because I could go home after school. I tried my best to be the best big sister and daughter to Izuku and Inko and I can say I succeeded. I was there whenever they needed me and they were there for me.
I helped Izuku with his claim that he didn't get his Quirk at age 5 and the stupid doctor said he was Quirkless. I defended him from his peers and taught him self-defense. To our luck he was a late bloomer and got his Quirk at age 10 and scared us a bit with it.
His Quirk is to produce and control fire along with Summon. Mine also has Summon along with Element control. He works as an Unspeakable in Wizard World and as a Pro Hero but I don't like medi so he works in the shadows. I mainly patrol the nights and my Hero Name is: Shadow. Although people from these two worlds know little about me I am well known around the world.
A lot of people admire me for my work and want to be like me. The reason why they know so little about me is to protect Izuku and Mama and now Eri too. Many criminals have used them against me or hurt them for revenge on me. It's been 18 years since I promised myself to be the best sis for Izuku.
To always support and defend him and now he is training to be a Hero as well. He is in his 3rd year at U.A. and is the best in his class but he is not arrogant about it. I remember today when he sputtered to me about what he wants to be a Hero:
I read Izuku book about Fantastic Beasts and Where to find them. Mom worked late today and I taking care of him
'' Sis Can I ask you a question?" he asked suddenly
'' Of course," I said and kissed him on the head. I put the book down after marking where we left off and gave him all my attention
'' Who is a real Hero? How does one become a real Hero? What do you want to be one for?'' he asked me curiously. His question made me chuckle and I pondered a bit
'' It's a difficult question and at the same time a simple one Izuku. Many people may have different explanations of what a true hero is. In my opinion, it is a person who never gives up no matter what difficulty they face. They fight until their last breath just so others can live. They do not fight just to be famous and for money when they do this they are false heroes. A hero must have an open mind you must and remember every act has a reason. Not everything in the world is black and white remember that. So promise me that you will never judge a person for their looks or Quirk because that may be the reason they go down the path of crime. Now to the question of why I want to be a hero. I want to help other Izuku so that they know that no matter what the trouble is they will have help. To know that they can sleep peacefully because someone is watching over them. I don't need fame or money and you know it, I do it so that people can live peacefully. Remember no matter what quirk a person has or doesn't have, it is strong or weak. Everyone can be who they want to be if they try their best and don't give up. The most important thing is that you never repeat NEVER change for others or to make others happy. Always be yourself and never shy away from it because if you do you will lose yourself. You understand Little One '' I said in a serious voice
'' I understand Zi '' he said and nodded.
I was awakened from my memories by Eri '' Zi I'm hungry '' she said in a sleepy voice and I looked at my watch.
It was 3:30 pm on the clock and I decided to make dinner. I love to cook and make a variety of dishes for my family. When I was done I sat down to eat with Eri and when I finished I put on a movie.
I couldn't wait until end of this week. Izuku gets two weeks off from school. It amuses me that none of his friends or anyone in the U.A. knows about me. Hell I'm sure no one knows I'm his First Mentor, that's funny.
I know his that his tutor and Number 1 Hero are arguing about who is his Mentor. Thanks to my lessons he successfully avoids this question. I would like to see their faces when they find out the truth it will be something to remember forever.
I know that teachers and students in the U.A. are fans of mine, and if they found out that Izuku has known me since I was a child I don't want to think about it. Only Izuku's childhood friend knows who I am more what I do. I train him together with Izuku when I am at home. He didn't exactly know that I was a Hero but only a martial arts Master. Izuku only told him about who I am when Katsuki connected the dots.
When I felt that Eri had fallen asleep I slowly carried her to her room. When I entered mine I noticed that I had a few documents to check and decided to do them right away. I wouldn't have to worry about them.
I don't often get documents to check or sign so I don't have to worry about it during my free time with Izuku. By the time I finished checking and signing them it was 11:30 pm on the clock so I jumped into a quick shower.
As my head hit the pillow I easily fell asleep thinking about all the things we would do with the two of us with Eri or by ourselves. It had been a long time since we had bonding sibling time. Not long after that I fell into a deep and peaceful sleep.
Suddenly I felt something clutching at my bed and when I opened my eye a little I saw that it was Eri. She slowly snuggled into me and I wrapped my arms around her. Eri has a habit when I or Izuku are home of sleeping in the bed with us.
She feels safer with us in the bed at that time than alone in her room. She does the same thing when she is in Izuku dorm but we do not mind. After a few minutes, we both fell into a deep peaceful sleep.
