Secret Society AU (dkbkyn if you squint)
I'm too nervous to post it on A03 so I thought I would give it a try here :)
This AU is based on a secret society used to track down underground ring's arounds the world. You are lead in taking care of victims ranging in ages 0-30. Katsuki Bakugous job is to take them down, and claim justice for those who can't do it themselves.
HUGE Warning: Mentions of s3x trafficking, exploitation, child loss and possible SA. Please read with caution. If you cannot handle subject mentions, I do not recommend on continuing to read.
"Just this way" Head in Command Aizawa leads in a new recruit, guiding him through the building that feels endless at this point, which way is up or down, left or right?
"S-so when do I get to meet everyone?" he asks shyly. "With time, you'll be in sector 1, that's for our new recruits, once we find your strength, we'll move you to the next" with a nod he looks around,
"Seven, but that's for our leads, 2-6 are for those that maintain the areas, I trust your father already taught you all there is to know."
With a nod they continue the tour of the facility.
"Looks like some of our leads are getting back from a debrief"
You make your way past the two, paperwork in hand.
"Y/N!" Aizawa catches your attention,
"Commander Aizawa, good to see you" you smile. "Likewise, showing our new recruit around. Mind telling him what you do?"
"Of course, I'm Y/N L/N, I lead the victims recovery sector, but personally I specialize in taking care of the kids. You'll see me here and there."
"She's also had links within our organization" Aizawa huffs.
"I actually made a place for myself here, contrary to what others tell you, Aizawa is just a bitter old man." you tease.
The boy watches, and notices, "You look familiar, do I know you from somewhere?" you shrug, "Maybe, maybe not, I remember everyones faces, so if we do know each other, that's up to you to remember."
You give him a quick wink.
"Ms.Y/n!" a small voice causes you all to turn heads, three kids, around the age of 4 run to you, the smallest, a boy, holds your hand.
With a smirk, you bring your attention back to the original conversation. "Looks like duty calls, see you later gentlemen" Aizawa bids you goodbye with a simple nod.
"And what can I do for you, my darlings?" you ask the kiddos.
"Well, Mrs.Koko said you'd come with us to dinner." A sweet girl Aro says, twisting her fingers. "Nothing would make me happier; I just have to stop by and drop some paperwork off, okay?" She nods.
"Then I will see you in a little bit, these are important, so I have to be fast." You let go of the boys hand, but not without giving his head a small kiss first, then take your leave.
Your walk is through sector 7, passing through each meeting room and training hall, till you get to the office. Right to Midoriyas desk.
"I've got the kids paperwork completed, ages, blood types, all that good stuff." You set it down as he looks up. A cut still under his left eye that hasn't been attended to.
"Thank you Y/N! I totally forgot about it, definitely would have went crazy looking for something I didn't have" the more he looks up, you see it. The blood along his hair line he wiped off.
"Midoriya, why haven't you gotten cleaned up?" you ask him, walking behind the desk where he currently sat. With a gentle push of his rolling chair, he's rolled to the side, and you find his stashed first aid, neat stacks placed neatly to the side, as not to disturb his area.
You place the gloves on after sanitizing your hands, and get to work, placing the napkin on the desk, and laying your necessities. "You know the Rep is gonna get you one day if you keep pulling this."
He takes a seat on his desk, adjusting so you stand between his legs, he steadies himself by holding to your sides, more so the fabric of your shirt. His hands don't wonder, he knows better.
"So how was it?" You ask him, "the debrief is always too foreword, never enough detail".
He smirks, "Maybe if you'd just join us, you'd find out for yourself"
"Nah Ei and Kami got it, they're great with the kids, and Mina loves the attention" You continue to clean him up, "I should make you shower before patching you up." you pretend to wince at the now dirt and soot covered alcohol pad.
"Har har very funny, I'll grab a shower and let you know when I'm done" he kisses your cheek gently as a thank you.
"OI I'M GONE FOR 6 MONTHS AND YOUR'E MAKING MOVES ON MY WOMEN?"
You run over the fastest you possibly can, jumping into his arms, he completely engulfs you. The biggest bear hug possible, rocking you from side to side.
"Katuski" your voice cracks, "I missed you so much", he breaths you in, "You know I missed you more"
He puts you down, grabbing your face to wipe your tears with his thumbs, and kissing you lips gently after kissing your forehead.
"Your hair is so much longer now, it's pretty, not that it wasn't before or whatever." you laugh, "Thank you Kats."
He gives your hand a squeeze before going to greet his childhood best friend, having to wait for a private moment rather than on official business.
"I'll head up with you for a shower, can't go to dinner with the brats smelling like this, and I've waited long enough to shower with real water pressure." Midoriya nods, setting some paperwork away and packing some into a folder to bring with him.
"Ohh no you don't" you say, taking the folder, "shower, dinner and family night for you mister." Bakugou crosses his arms.
"Still trying to work even though it's rules to not work on a homecoming day?" he scowls, "Kacchan you know how much of this is waiting for us tomorrow, I might as well start it now."
"Nope, you heard this missus, shower first, you smell like hell, you were only gone a month and smell worse than I do." You follow them out, shutting the door behind the three of you before going to housing.
Into your room, you drop Midoriya's paperwork on your desk and go to change out of your uniform. As it was only needed for the debrief, you change into something more casual for dinner and putting the kiddos to bed that you know they'll beg for you to help with once you say you have to go.
Lounge pants, tank top, sneakers, cardigan, and a messy bun, why not.
Locking your door and down the hall you walk past the showers, (mainly used to return from missions to keep things clean, preventing extra body fluids and shrapnel from getting anywhere else), you hear them, not just talking, but laughing. Just like the kids they used to be.
The door left open a crack to let out the extra steam as to not set off Bakugous quirk. You lean in.
"Come on Kacchan there's no way people are that gullible,"
"The hell there is, those bastards fell for it, drunk and all."
It's quiet for a moment, you lean in a little closer, just for the door to swing open and causing you to stumble forward. Just when you gain your balance, you look up.
Both of them. Standing there. Just a towel. Sweet Gods.
"Missed us so much you gotta spy Sweets?" Bakugous says with a smug look on his face. Your own sure enough is beet red.
"You say it like it's a crime." you mumble. He opens the door wide to let you in and patch Midoriya up.
Only difference? He's in the same position, any wider and that towel isn't covering a damn thing.
You move gently. "So do I get to know the cool stuff too, or is that a boys only thing?"
"Oh you didn't hear us? Kacchan blew up three buildings on the way out"
"Kats" you scolded, he huffs, "They were holding sex rings", "Forgiven, what else?"
"Meh same old same old, just took forever, they had imports from 10 other countries, took us forever to snuff them out. Just not kids this time, more so late 20's, Yaomomos expertise."
"So where did the new kids come from?"
He hesitates to answer, "Those are the victim's children, they started to recycle them through the buildings, bringing pregnant ones in to use the babies." His eyes get dark. A sensitive subject.
You take a second for yourself, but Midoriya has got you, he has both of you.
"Lets get dressed yeah? It was a long flight and I heard chefs got something good coming" You nod softly, your thumb grazing his now patched up cheek. You'll always be eternally grateful for Izuku.
Walking over to Katsuki, you tilt his chin to look at you. "Where did you go?" after a moment, his hand holds your wrist.
"You know where I went" he sighs, you kiss his cheek. "I'll see you both at dinner, I'm going to get the kids settled."
You take your leave. Closing the door, and hearing the gentle reassurance Midoriya gives him, how he hesitates to move even the slighest.
By the time you make it over to the Cafe, the kids are all seated, smallest ones with their bibs on, doing their best to feed themselves, except for one. The little boy, he just sits there. Waiting.
"Hi Sunshine, miss me?" you say softly as to not scare him, taking the empty seat to his left, he checks his right side, the empty seat, he looks around. Waiting.
He picks at his plate, and Mrs.Koko places one in front of you. "Oh! I could have went up Koko"
She smiles. "Don't worry, they had them prepped for us, one for you too." You thank her. And dig in. The boy beside you watches and copies.
Taking his time to chew, careful not to overfill his mouth on pasta. You admire him, his dark fluffy hair, and his eyes, when he's with you, they never dull. But once you step away, they cloud.
You're his safe space, you and-
"Theres my little terror" he says it unbelievably gentle, the boy turns slowly before reaching his hands up.
Katsuki picks him up quickly. Pressed against his chest, the boy puts his hands on each side of Kats face. A small giggle comes from him. Making Katsuki smile too, turning his head to kiss the boys palms.
They sit with you, he feeds the boy the rest of the dinner and you watch. In another life, this would be your normal.
Katsuki coming home from work. You making dinner, your kids waiting for Daddy to come into the kitchen so they can show him their drawings from the day. And having dinner together, as a family.
But this is more the enough too, it's just right.
The boy doesn't speak, he showed up at the bunker, flowers in hand, Koko had woken you up, you had a nightshift from the teams homecoming landing at 3 in the morning, it was only 2:16, and he came to you, handing you the flowers. He was 2 then, now he's 3, close to 4, he shares a birthday with your late mother.
You clean up once you've both finished eating. And since Bakugou had already caught the attention of the rest of the kids. He stays to tell the stories of his "adventures". So, you grab him a plate, and check for Midoriya who's huddled in a corner. You grab him one too, stopping for him first.
"Dinner for Mr.Midoriya" you singsong, he jumps, lost in thought, "Thank you, I don't know where I went for a second." he sighs, and you do too.
"Why don't you come sit with us? I'm sure the kids would love to hear a story from you too"
"You think so?" you nod and give a tilt of your head to encourage him. "Come on, I'm sure they're asking about you already."
Like clockwork, he makes it to the table within ear shot. "Did Mr. Midoriya defeat them too?"
"I did it better than Kacchan." he puffs his chest. The comment causes Bakugou to break his neck. "Yeah right, you were too starstruck from seeing me."
Midoriya blushes, "It's been a while, can you blame me?"
"Alright everyone, it's time to get back and ready for bed." You smile, the kids start standing to throw their trash away and dishes in the buckets, utensils in a separate one.
They bid goodnight to Midoriya, you reach to take the boy from Bakugou but stop when you see the way his brows frow looking at the small body resting on his chest, the head on his shoulder. As if his heart lay there, sleeping. He sways slowly, letting him fall deeper into sleep.
His answer takes you aback, "I've been gone too long, he needs me too, y'know?" you nod.
Years ago, he would have grown impatient from nervousness having to hold a child. Or even loosing patience of being around children this age. The more the job placed itself inside his mind, the more he saw, and how important it was to you, how much of your heart you let show for these kids. He couldn't help but do the same.
Once the kids are lined up to head back, you and Koko do a quick headcount and make your way to housing. Yaomomo has pajamas and bed ready, baths drawn, and showers ready.
With three adults and 14 kids, 10 more in the infirmary from today's homecoming, bathtimes moves with precision. Bakugou sits on a rocking chair with the boy. Falling asleep himself, surely the cameras capture it.
Kids with teeth and hair brushed, all tucked in, and sleeping thanks to Jirou's lullaby lo-fi playlist. You head back to the rocking chair that's become still. Running your hand through his hair, it stirs him awake.
"It's the little ones bedtime Kats, he needs to go in his own bed tonight, and so do you." He hesitates, then nods.
"Can I get him in the morning?", you smirk, "I think he'll find us first if anything, if he needs us during the night Koko gave him a signal, he has a button by his bed he can press and it'll alert our rooms. We started to implement it a few months ago."
You make your way to his bed, both of you tuck him in, you don't miss the sniff from Bakugou as he tucks his nose in the boys hair. The quick goodnight kiss. You give him one too.
Taking your hand, he guides you out to the hall, and a turn of the corner to your room. You find some pajamas and hop in for a solo shower as he leans against the sink, waiting for you, telling you how much he missed you and the fun things he saw in Europe before traveling to South America for the last month of the mission.
Once your dressed and skincare is on its last steps his arms wrap around your waist. He inhales the scent of your lotion; smells he's picked up on his trips.
"What if we stayed here tonight? Let me hold you" he says into your neck, a small kiss behind your ear.
"As much as I want that, everyone wants to see you, and so does a special someone." you rest your hands on the arms that ingulf you, leaning your head back.
"Your mother? She protected me?" he says it almost at a whisper, he loved her too, the way she took him in, how she shaped him into who he is now, a second mother, never to replace his own.
You nod your head, "After all she is your own personal deity, I pray to her when I think of you, I think she'd appreciate a visit,"
"I would have gone on my own regardless, let's go now, I don't want to keep her waiting." he lets go, but not before a quick tap on your hip.
Passing the communal kitchen, you grab the cheesecake bars you made for her as an offering. Then make your way to her altar, a room in the chapel they keep for those with different faith. To help those in their healing journeys.
You open the door, not without you both removing your shoes, Katsuki grabs the matches, lighting her candles, an incense or two. You place two bars on a new plate.
"Mama? Are you awake?" You call, the flames flicker for a moment, then, there she is, sitting in front of you both.
Katsuki's breath shutters, "Hi Ma", she looks up, "Katsuki, Hi baby", he's able to hug her, she kisses his cheek. Then she does the same to you.
You hesitate, "Is... Is he awake?" she watches you both, how sad you get, "He's asleep right now, some of the others brought him a puppy's spirit for him to play with."
It had been 5 years since you lost your son, he never made it Earth side, an emergency c-section birthed him, he was beautiful, but it destroyed you both, he was perfect, just wasn't ready to join you just yet. You never knew his eye color.
"His birthday is coming up, has he said anything about what he wants yet?" Katsuki asks. She gives him a gentle smile, "Nothing yet, although that puppy might have been what he planned on asking for." Then she laughs.
You stay for an hour, then two, checking on each other, telling stories, before she leaves for the night, to take care of her devoted followers. With a prayer you bid her goodnight.
"That was nice" Bakugou says his shoes back on his feet. He see's your face, the slight frustration. "Baby, what's wrong" he hesitates to reach for you.
"He's always sleeping, does he not want to see us." you choke back. He takes your hands. "That's not it, you know that, the brat is on the same schedule as us remember? I bet he watches us all day, and I'm sure your mother prevents him from seeing the other stuff."
That makes you cover a smile, "There you are my girl, he's okay, that's our son your talking about, he's in love with us as much as we are obsessed and in love with him." he kisses your temple.
You wipe your eyes, "Yeah, your right, you have a point."
Hand and hand you get back to the communal area for sector 7, just a little way past the kitchen. Kiri, Kaminari, Izuku, Mina and Ochako are there, still up from the day.
You head back over to the kitchen to fix yourself and Bakugou some tea before bed, your little routine.
He sits himself at a table by the couches they occupy.
They all make conversation as you busy yourself, doing your best to think about something new. By the time the kettle sounds, the mugs are prepared with tea bags, cream and sweetener for you, lemon for Bakugou.
Taking one in each hand, you make your way over, setting Bakugou's in front of him, yours at hands reach.
He wraps his arm around your hip, tugging you into his side, . "Thank you my love." he whispers. You give him a nod.
