57 TLC 4
The question and answer period of my classroom interrogation lasted for half of the period. Miss Aiga looked pretty smug about that and I had to hand it to her. She knew how to corral her students and to get them to focus on what she wanted them to focus on.
“All right, let's move on to Saida, who had an almost similar experience being a bodyguard and then she was actually hired by a different agency.”
“NO WAY!” Ming gasped.
“Oh, it's true.” Miss Aiga said and picked up the next report. “Let's see here. She started out relatively simple and was a backup guard in the crowd during...”
We all listened and Saida really did have quite the extensive list of civilians and heroes that she had met and guarded, with a different one each day and at one point had two of them on a single day, one in the morning and one in the evening. Miss Aiga said Saida received the job offer on the weekend and started work on the Monday the internships were cancelled. She didn't say it was because of me.
Everyone congratulated her, even me, and Saida blushed once more. Miss Aida moved on to Helen and her internship experience with the rescue hero agency run by The Wild Wild Pussycats. Her dust had been perfect for leading people to the trapped victims during the attack that Ragdoll's Search quirk found. Helen blushed at the praise we heaped upon her, too.
“I'll end the class here and I'll share more of the report summaries at the end of the day.” Miss Aiga said and smiled at everyone. “I'll see you all then. Enjoy your first day back at school.”
“Thank you, Miss Aiga.” We all said and stood to give her a bow, then we all relaxed for the last few minutes of the class time and chatted a little. Well, the others did. I sat there and listened to them while I thought about my next move.
There was only one real source of information that I could get access to, and that was going to be both dangerous and possibly upsetting for several people, especially for Izuku, Mei, and the information source herself. Inko Midoriya, Izuku's mother.
I went through the rest of the day on automatic and barely spoke unless spoken to, I ate lunch without any enthusiasm, and entered the Hero Physical Education class with a completely blank expression on my face. I had taken off my outer clothing and tucked them into my locker and went out onto the training field.
“No.” Red Fury said when I went to stand with the other students.
“What?” I asked.
“You're going to hurt someone if I let you keep whatever it is bottled up like that.” Red Fury said.
I opened my mouth to deny it and she moved instantly and punched me as hard as she could across the face. I didn't even move and the sound of her wrist breaking was loud, even being outside like we were.
Red Fury smirked at my surprised face and she shook her hand as she grew to her muscular form to let her regeneration fix her wrist. “You've got your full defenses up and if anyone tries anything, you're going to flatten them.”
I sighed loudly and dropped my head slightly. “Yeah.”
“He's pissed that his best friend abandoned him.” Ming said with an odd look on her face.
“Oh? Finally admitting that best friends can cause the other to act badly?” I asked and she looked embarrassed. That had been my side of the argument about Superman and Lex Luthor and she had said that it could never happen and they were never friends.
“That's enough, Connor.” Red Fury said. “Go sit over there and don't do anything. Don't practice your powers. Don't think about what happened. Just sit there and watch. Do you understand?”
I couldn't stop the glare I sent her, because I actually was pissed and I was trying to deal with it. I couldn't really do that without doing something, and she just ordered me to not do anything.
Red Fury looked surprised for a moment, then she glared right back. She pointed off to the side of the field and tapped her foot.
I couldn't defy her order to her face, so I walked over to where she pointed. I glanced down into the ground to find a chair-sized boulder and reached down into the ground like it wasn't there. I touched the boulder and pulled it up out of the ground and set it right beside the large hole I just made. I used my hands to quickly carve out a chair shape from the boulder and then sat down.
Red Fury looked pissed now and my classmates looked both impressed and worried. “That will be detention for your homeroom class and after school, Mr. Kent.”
I crossed my arms in defiance and nodded.
The class proceeded as normal. Red Fury also had the reports from the hero agencies that the students had attended and she picked a few specific encounters to discuss and everyone participated in giving alternatives for them and what quirks could have been of the best use.
I sat there all afternoon and didn't do a single thing except watch the others perform the exercises and tasks Red Fury set them to. It was extremely boring and I was pretty sure that was the point she was trying to make. If I was out there trying to do the same things, I would get frustrated pretty quickly and I would probably wreck everything, just so I wouldn't feel frustrated anymore.
When the class ended, a few of the other students gave me sad looks, especially Saida, and they left without saying anything. I stayed sitting there on my chair as Red Fury approached me.
“Put that back.” Red Fury said and pointed to the chair.
I was feeling a little vindictive for being treated like a child, so I stood up and stared into her eyes as I used my telekinesis to pick up the rock chair and the pieces I had carved off, without physically touching them, and shoved them back down into the dirt. I used a foot to tamp the disturbed dirt down and managed to not look smug at the shocked look on her face.
“Come with me.” Red Fury said and walked over to the change rooms. “Grab your things.”
I did as ordered and she handed me a bag to carry them in. I followed her through the school and out through the front door to the parking lot. We climbed into her car and drove for a while to go back to her place. I opened my mouth to tell her she was off limits and she slapped my face as if she knew I was going to say it.
She parked in her driveway and went to her house to open the front door, then she came back to the car to get me. She opened the passenger door and grabbed me by my collar and pulled me out, slammed the car door, and dragged me into her house and slammed the front door as well.
Before I could protest her continued treatment of me, she tossed me onto the floor of her training room and yanked my hero suit off. Her hand jerked on me to get me hard and she added her mouth as well. As soon as I was hard enough for her, she tore off her own clothing and climbed on top of me. The look on her face was as intense as any I had ever seen and I couldn't help reacting to that as I kissed her.
Mariposa rode me so hard that we actually dented her hardwood floor. When she yelled her pleasure and had her first orgasm, I rolled her over and gave her the same intense look.
“My turn.” I said, almost in a growl, and I shoved myself into her as hard as I could. It wasn't making love and it wasn't even sex. I fucked her. I fucked her so hard that it wrecked her floor completely and we even cracked the reinforced concrete underneath. In fact, it was pretty much rubble when I was done.
That was when I realized what just happened. I was done with her. I finally looked at her face and Mariposa looked back at me with a very sad smile.
“You knew about Izuku and Mei.” I whispered and tears came to my eyes as I watched her heal from what I had done. “Why would you...”
“The needs of the people we love comes first.” Mariposa whispered and reached up to stroke the cheek of my face and the tears rolling down it. “No matter how much it hurts anyone else, even yourself, their needs always come first.”
I completely understood what she meant. “I do love you.” I whispered and laid back down to gently kiss her.
“I know. It's just not the same world shattering love you deserve to have.” Mariposa whispered back.
I picked her up and carried her over to her bedroom and laid her down on the bed, then I made sweet and passionate love to her. I didn't want what just happened to be the last time we were together. Even though she had been a godsend to let me release all of my frustrations out on her, doing what I just did was not how I wanted to act. That wasn't me.
Mariposa was crying pretty hard when we finished making love and she held onto me tightly. “Don't... don't say it. Not now.” She said and kissed me. “Let this be where it ends. It has to end.” She looked into my eyes and she wiped at her own face. “You have to accept that I'm not... I'm not her.”
“I wish...” I shook my head. “No, you're right. I can't force things to change, just because I want them to. I have to accept that happened and I have to be a man about it.”
“You were pretty manly back there.” Mariposa said with a smile.
“No.” I shook my head. “That wasn't me. That was... that will never happen again. I'm not that man.” I stood up and gave her a warm smile. “Thank you for showing me exactly who I never want to be.”
Mariposa nodded and didn't say anything else.
I zoomed to her bathroom and took a shower, dressed in my hero suit and put my casual clothes on over it, then I walked back to her bedroom. Mariposa was up and looked a little lost as she stared at the wrecked floor of her training area.
“I'll transfer the funds to pay for the repairs.” I said and she nodded. I leaned in to kiss her and she held a hand up to stop me.
“We aren't like that anymore.” Mariposa said and changed back to her normal form.
I nodded and walked out of her house. I jogged down to the train station and looked for the right train to catch, then hopped on and rode it home. I would get there at about the same time as I would have if I had actually been in detention and I wouldn't have to explain more than that to Lois. I would, though. This was not the time to lie to her.
I just hoped that she accepted my excuse that it really was break-up sex and wouldn't assume that I was cheating on her or anything. That was the last thing I wanted her to think.

Lois almost choked on her food because she was laughing so hard. Connor had looked so sad and dejected as he explained what had happened, about meeting an old girlfriend, and having sex. He had been adamant that it was break-up sex and not them getting together, or staying together, and he apologized several times for allowing it to happen.
“C-C-Connor... good god... you, please... stop talking.” Lois finally managed to say between laughs and coughs. The whole situation was hilarious to her and she wasn't sure what she could say to mitigate her amusement or to reassure him that she wasn't angry at him.
Connor rubbed her back and closed his mouth. It gave Lois the time she needed to think.
“I know you've had sexual relationships.” Lois said and sat up straight to look at him. “What happened between us... what is happening between us... has nothing to do with what happened before.”
“But... but, I slept with someone after we... after you finally...” Connor stammered.
“Hush.” Lois said and gave him a tender kiss. “Your life doesn't suddenly end every time you meet someone else. I knew you would have to deal with her, at least, and perhaps the others you've been with at school and at the agency.”
“Lois...”
“I'm not going to get angry, Connor. You've been honest with me about it and I'm very glad that you didn't try to lie or hide it from me. That would have been very bad. For you.”
Connor nodded. “It was also the way I acted. I took out my frustration about Izuku on her, mostly because she let me, and I never want to feel that way again. I am not that man.”
“I know.” Lois whispered and pulled him close. “The good thing about what happened, you both knew she could take it. She wanted to help you in the best way she could.”
Connor nodded again. “I told her that she showed me who I never wanted to be.”
Lois smiled. “That is exactly my point. She did something for you that no one else could have.”
Connor had an odd look on his face for a moment.
Lois chuckled and tapped his nose with a finger. “Potential women don't count. She knew you well and she accepted your feelings.”
Connor sighed and nodded once more. “I made love to her before I left. I let her feel how much I appreciated what she did for me.”
“You didn't fly around with her, did you?” Lois asked with a smile.
“Having fun wasn't the point.” Connor said.
“No, it wasn't.” Lois said and kissed him again. “I want you to remember this lesson.”
“I'm never going to forget it.” Connor said.
“I'm glad.” Lois said and looked at her cooling food. “Do you mind?”
“Not at all.” Connor said and gave her plate a light blast of heat vision.
“Thank you.” Lois said and gave him a significant look. “I really mean that, Connor. Thank you.”
Connor smiled and went back to his seat to keep eating.
Lois continued to eat as she watched the man across the table. She knew, right then, that she had chosen correctly. Even though he was a troubled young man with intense problems that most young men didn't have to deal with, she loved him and would help him deal with his messed up life as best as she could.
“Do you have any school work to do?” Lois asked and finished eating.
“A bit.” Connor said and gave her a look. “What did you have in mind?”
Lois gave him a sexy smile. “I distinctly remember someone telling me a story about a volunteer hiding under a work desk and pleasing the person sitting there.”
Connor's eyes widened for a moment, then he smiled. “There you go impressing me again, Lois. I think it's becoming a bad habit for you.”
Lois laughed and stood. “Bad? I don't think so.” She said and sauntered out of the kitchen and made sure her ass shook in an enticing way. “I am very, very good at it.”
“Yes, you are.” Connor said from behind her.
The desire in his voice always made Lois feel happy. She entered his room and climbed under his desk, ready and waiting for him to sit and begin his work. Connor sat down and took out his books and papers.
Lois waited for several minutes before she reached for his pants and dug out the already erect object of her affection. “Study hard, Connor.” She whispered and then slipped him into her mouth as she deep-throated him and licked his balls with her tongue.
“Oh, GOD!” Connor gasped and blew a load right away.
Lois moaned at always being able to make him react like that. She swallowed down the tasty treat that he always had ready for her, then she kept going.
Connor studied hard for the rest of the evening.
