Darkside (BkDK)

~~** What's in a name? **~~

A week after Bakugo agreed to fight his former liaison, and with the permission of Principle Nezu, a rather unconventional sparring tournament of sorts was taking place in Ground Beta late Sunday Morning. Dynamight and Flurry were going to fight both to pay the experienced Pro back for her insights regarding the 'Wonder Duo's' hand signals as well as a unique way to reconnect with her former intern. The 'Twin Volcanoes' were not usually off duty at the same time but made a special request to attend UA for the match out of curiosity. They had themselves of course fought the boy numerous times in training but seeing him fight another Pro they were less familiar with was an opportunity they didn't want to miss out on.

The seemingly random assortment of Heros and students was accompanied by one international fire breather currently on leave. Being that he was in town for the next month helping his wife prepare to sell their home, Hisashi had insisted on joining his son when he learned of the planned match so he came along as well. He would be lying if he said he wasn't curious about the blonde youth's skills since seeing him in the sports festival during teen's first year. The festival had not been televised the last two years due to negative backlash following the muzzled first place Katsuki though that was not the story the school gave its students.

As a result of the lack of recent coverage the imposing Pro wanted to see how much the boy he still considered a second son had improved since then, as well as his own progeny. Watching Izuku's boyfriend and future partner stretch in preparation for the fight brought a slight smile to the tall man's face. Fifteen years ago this boy was sleeping with his mouth wide open and his stomach out on his sitting room floor after having eaten too many snacks while watching the same All Might rescue clip for hours with his own fanboy son in a very similar state.

A memory of the two returning home with a huge muddy frog in a jar and Inko screaming suddenly flashed behind his eyes leading the imposing man to begin chuckling to himself. The seemingly out of place gesture earned him a sideways look from a somewhat nervous Dai. Ash had heard of Midoriya's father before, though he obviously didn't know his personal connection to the boy, and the man was a legend. All Might was the number one in Japan before he retired but he was sure Hisashi would be the unofficial number one in three other countries if the Pro was known to the mainstream public. His imposing stature and gruff appearance didn't quite mesh with his cinnamon roll of a son but seeing him smile at Bakugo's cursing taunts to his opponent, the resemblance was clear.

In front of them, cheers and taunts filled the air as the match finally started. Bits of the already damaged buildings shook with the force of different explosions while other areas were covered in a layer of pure white snow. The battle lasted only about fifteen minutes before Flurry was pinned to the ground with a glowing fist in her face and a huge smile. "Good job Puppy. You've gotten better haven't you?"

"Obviously. Can't stay on your pathetic level forever now can I?" Deactivating his quirk the blonde helped the bluette to her feet with a victorious smirk. The crimson-eyed youth's senses were still heightened from the fight and that worked in his favor as a green blur nearly knocked him over. A laughing Deku clung to him like a large koala as he planted child-like kisses on the side of his sweaty and flushed face, completely oblivious to all the eyes watching them.

"You did it Kacchan!"

"Did you fucking doubt me dumbass?" Pulling back enough to look onto the crimson gaze that could make him desperate in seconds, Midoriya halted his father's reaction to the harsh statement before the impressive Pro could make it. Without warning, viridian lightning covered the freckled teen's body and his eyes glowed a deadly green.

Smiling despite the aura of menace now filling the air around the pair, Izuku's voice retained the 'Bullshit Mode' Bakugo had come to fear in these situations. "What was that? I don't think I heard you correctly, Katsuki. Would you mind repeating it please?"

Dynamight did NOT nervously gulp NOR did he become partially aroused by his partner's reaction at all. Nope. Not even a little.

"I said thank you Nerd. Maybe we should get YOUR hearing checked?" As the successor of One for All released his quirk completely, the two shared a chaste kiss before the taller near-adult dislodged from his counterpart.

"Izuku?" Both youths snapped to attention as Hisashi's deep voice out of habit.

"Yes dad?" Walking over, the curly haired teen stood eye to eye with his proud father.

"What would you say if you and I had a round? I'd like to see your skill up close. If you don't mind, that is?" The fierce grin on his child's face matched his own as the two silently agreed.

Whistling to get the other's attention Bakugo directed his somewhat star struck Pro supervisors to move a bit farther away from the pending action than they had been for the previous bout. The mixed group of spectators spent the next half an hour flinching, cheering, booing, and gasping as father and son appeared to try and annihilate one another. Kacchan wanted to be proud of his Bunny, and he was, but he was mostly preparing to rush the boy off to Recovery Girl. He had just begun to let that thought go as a particularly well aimed punch sent the greenette soaring into a nearby pile of rubble that was quickly melted around him, sealing him in.

Walking over to his trapped offspring, the tall handsome Hero smiled with pride despite his bleeding lip and ripped clothes. "Well done Izuku. You have always made me proud but seeing the skills you have learned these last few years have developed this far makes me certain you will be a great Pro in just a few short weeks."

"Thanks dad. Could you let me out now?"

"I got you Green Bean!" A blast of snow coated the still rather hot chunks of concrete allowing the confined boy to break them easily. Yay for thermodynamics!

The group had all dispersed after that heading to various places like agencies, homes and locker room showers. Showers that soon became nostalgically steamy from more than just the hot water.

Three weeks later all members of class 3A and 3B returned to UA from their last round of internships ladened with bags of possessions as they cleaned out their agency provided accommodations. There were only two weeks until they would officially graduate and take their tests to earn their Pro Hero licenses, except for Shinso who had to complete one more round of interning before he was eligible. A fact Jiro was all too happy to use against him whenever he was, in her words, 'hogging Denki'.

The last two weeks of school would start with academic finals before being filled with intensive training and career counseling between students, All Might, and the agency representatives for wherever the soon-to-be Heros wished to work.

Today was a joint meeting between Bakugo and Midoriya since they had previously expressed a desire to debut as a pair. Eraserhead and Nezu sat on one side of a large round table, to their left were All Might, Flurry and Specter. To their right were Best Jeanist, Pyroclastic, and Ash with Dynamight and Deku seated across from their teacher and principal.

"I would like to start by thanking you all for joining us today. I know how challenging it can be to work these kinds of minor meetings into a busy Hero schedule and I very much appreciate your attendance. Let us first start with Mr. Midoriya." Focusing on the peacefully smiling soon-to-be-graduate across from him the anthropomorphic mouse man spoke as directly as everyone wished he always would.

"What is your ideal plan for your first year as a professional Hero after graduating from UA and gaining your full-time license?"

"Well sir, I would like to continue working out of Might Tower if possible. I feel like that is a good fit for me right now." Turning to look at the group of three between himself and his teacher Izuku felt a nervousness start to build. He was sure everyone present would be fine with his and Kacchan's plan for the first year after graduation, but how would they react to their long term ideas? Guess he would find out soon.

"I will not go back on my word. You were promised a place with the agency when you finish your training and we stand by that offer now." Nods and smiles from Toshinori and Aoi confirmed the raven haired man's words.

"Excellent! Now, Mr. Bakugo: same question. What is your ideal plan for your first year as-" Looking down at the scattered paperwork in front of him the surprisingly mischievous and slightly devious man smirked as he read out Katsuki's official Hero name. "-Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight?"
