Shouta Aizawa did not expect the adoption papers to go through. He was twenty-two, freshly licensed, and worked the grueling, thankless shifts of an underground hero.

When he first held you—a tiny, quiet newborn—he made a silent promise to protect you from the dark edges of the superhuman society he fought in every night. For four years, life was a chaotic but warm routine of coffee, grading papers, and watching you grow. Then, your quirk manifested. It did not happen with a flashy spark or a minor convenience.
