Athena Chapter 10.

It had been 2 days since I had told everyone of my past and had blood taken from me for my second gender test. I woke up to the smell of breakfast in my room and looked to see that I had toast, eggs, apple juice and tea. The women who was looking after me came in and smiled at me sitting in bed eating. She walked over to me and said that I had a meeting today in the principal office and it was at 11. I did nothing more than finish my breakfast and hop into the shower to get ready. The results are back and I can get some answers on this whole second gender stuff and what they are going to do with me. This was the only thing going through my head and I rushed my shower to find the young women waiting to dry and brush my hair, I think she secretly liked doing it as she got to touch my fluffy ears. I got dressed into my uniform and was ready well before half 10. I just sat there with her and talked, she was a lot more talkative then she had been since I first arrived and think she was comfortable with me. I had been at the facility for over 3 weeks now and she had been the only one to look after me, well apart from Recovery Girl that is.

I hadn't seen Deku or Shoto since the other meeting and was wondering what they thought of the whole thing. Did they know what my second gender is, did they know what they were doing when they bite me, how come I can now smell different people's scents again? I could once again picture the hazy moment that it had all happened. I started to be able to smell other people scents around me, they were faint but they were there and they had been growing stronger day by day. The nape of my neck was not burning up as much as it did before and the connection I felt to Deku and Shoto was becoming less and less. I hoped that today's meeting would give me the answers. A knock on the door brought me out of my thought and Midnight was standing there.

"Ready to go sweetie" she said in her cheeky voice and I left the room with her to walk to the office once more.

"No Eraser Head today?" I asked and she just said "He wasn't needed". OK, maybe this was a good sign and that they trusted me a bit more. We walked to the main campus and this time it was in full swing, there were students everywhere in both the halls and outside, it took me by surprise as all their scents hit my nose at once, it was like walking into a soap shop and being hit with all the different smells at once, nice but you couldn't make any of them out clearly. None of the students looked my way as we walked past large groups towards to office, strange! but my brain was cut off when the lift doors opened and I could smell Deku and Shoto, were they going to be at the meeting as well. My heart started to race slightly at the thought of seeing Deku again and it felt like an age had passed since we got into the lift, the lift dinged with the doors opening and I walked quickly to the office. A hand was suddenly grabbed me to slow me down and Midnight was looking at me with a smile. Before we went into the room she said

"Now my dear Athena, before you head in I wanted to let you know that whatever happens in the room I am here to support you" I just looked at her a bit puzzled as to what she said and nodded in agreement.

She opened the door and there he was, the green haired boy I had been wanting to see. He was sat on a sofa next to Shoto. We walked into the room and I was indicated to sit on the sofa opposite them. It was a different set up than last time and there was also not as many people as before. I could see Principal Nezu, Recovery Girl and Eraser Head but that was it.

The principal walked around his desk and stood in front of it, he was wearing the same as the last time I saw him and so was everyone else in the room.

"Thank you for your patience whilst we made this decision" Nezu said to the room. I just looked at him and hoped it was something that helped. "Recovery Girl can you please tell Athena the results of her second gender test along with Deku's and Shoto's" he continued.

Recovery girl stood up from her seat and walked into view of all of us. She said smiling " Athena is an Omega, like we first thought. Deku and Shoto are both Alphas" She looked at me who was confused "What is and Alpha and Omega?" I asked. She explained "In this world there are things known as second genders. They appear at puberty and are tested for at the age of 12- 13. Our first genders are male and female; our second genders are Alpha, Beta and Omega." She looked at me to see if I was following along and once again I just nodded that I understood so far. "An Alpha like Deku and Shoto have increased intelligence, stronger and more powerful quirks and release different pheromone types depending on the situation. Alphas can only have children with Omegas and they have a period called a Rut, this happens around every 3 months or when an unclaimed, unmarked Omega goes into Heat, however they can suppress their Ruts with injections called suppressors and their Ruts are usual only triggered by certain types of Omega. Alpha make up 20% of the population, Alpha's can be male or female with female Alpha's not having periods like Betas".

I was starting to get a bit lost but just nodded in agreement to what she had said, before she could continue Midnight interrupted "My dear, I know that it is a lot to take in. They had lessons when they were younger to understand what it meant. Do not panic, I can give you private lessons if you need" she said with that cheeky smile on her face, I looked at Deku and Shoto who were both flushed and clearly embarrassed but what she had said. What type of private lesson is she talking about if these two got embarrassed like that, but before my mind wondered onto what she was going to do Recovery Girl continued " Betas are people who can only have children with each other and have no pheromones, they are essentially regular humans that only have the one gender, Beta women have periods every month. They can become affected by Alpha pheromones but only if they are incredibly strong and of a certain type. Beta make up the most of the population with around 60%. Last are the Omega's, they make up the last 20% of the population and can be either male or female. Female Omegas like Alpha females do not have periods but instead an Omega has heats every month. An Omega in heat releases a large amount of pheromones and can be claimed or mated at this time. A bite to the nape is how an Omega is claimed by an Alpha but this is temporary unless they have intercourse and are knotted by the Alpha. Once an Omega has been knotted by the Alpha they stay like this for anything from 10-45 minutes and during this time is when the Alpha bites the nape of the Omega. An omega that has been claimed in this way is then bound to the Alpha for life and their pheromones only affect their mate. There are special circumstances however that I will tell you about another time" Recovery Girl just looked at me, I must of looked a picture as she just smiled and walked back to her seat and Midnight had given my arm a squeeze.

My brain was running in circles at all the information I had just heard I knew it was going to take me some time to process. Principal Nezu spoke once again

"Athena, we have decided that we would like you to try our entrance exam and if you pass you will be able to attend this school in the same class as Deku and Shoto on the Hero's course. I understand that this is all a lot to take in and understand and you might of thought horrible things whilst waiting for us to decide and I am sorry for that. It is your decision if you would like to attend U.A and if you don't or do not pass then we have found a family that welcomes you to stay with them and can protect you from the league"

"Could I have a word with Deku and Shoto alone?" I asked. Nezu, Midnight and Eraser Head all looked at the boys who both nodded that it was ok. The left the room and it was just me, Deku and Shoto.

"What do you guys make of all of this?" I asked.

"When I saw you come through the portal and our eyes meet my heart raced. I could feel your pheromones wrapping themselves around me and wanted to make you mine, your scent is so enticing. I... I have never been affected by Omega pheromones before in that way but you were different. I had to save you from that guy and I could feel my Rut coming. My Alpha instincts took over and I took you to a safe place" Deku said, the whole time Shoto was watching him talk, he had a bit of an angry yet sad face to him as he listened to Deku.

"So....Thank you. What do you guys think about me being in the same school if I pass?" I said to them in a bit of a confused tone.

"Personally I don't want you near Deku but I understand why he did what he did but I bite you for a different reason. Fate can be so cruel" Shoto said in an angry tone.

"What does fate have to do with it?" I asked a bit feed up from them not giving me and answer.

"Everything" Shoto shouted and stood up coming towards me.

"You don't get it do you. I love Deku and we have been dating for the last 6 months, everything was going well until you came. He wants to break up with me and go to you. It's the pull of fated pairs, you both want each other and there is no room for me. I hate you for getting in the way" he said as he grabbed my neck and it started to become colder and colder, I couldn't move away from him, he was using all his strength and quirk to kill me. He was pulled away from me and my neck was hurting, freezing and I just managed to get my fire quirk going to melt the ice that surrounded my neck. Deku was holding Shoto and green lighting was cursing over his entire body.

"Shoto, stop! I know she has come between us but that is no reason to try and kill her!" Deku shouted whilst holding Shoto in place.

"She ruined everything" Shoto mumbled and tears were coming down his eyes. Deku released his grip on Shoto and just hugged him. I wasn't sure what to do, maybe it would be better if I just left and lived with that family then he wouldn't have to suffer like this.

"I will go to and be with the family, I can't separate you like this" I said in a sad voice, they both looked at me before Deku said "Shoto, you know we talked about how this could happen. A fated mate isn't something that happens and you know how rare it is but we decided that if we did find them then we would accept it. You know that I love you but I can't help but be drawn to her, you can smell it on her too can't you. Didn't you also go in Rut at the time you saw her and caught her eyes"

"Hang on, are you saying what I think your saying. Are you saying that both of you are my fated mate?" I said surprised and shocked "How?" but was interrupted before they could answer when the others came back into the room.

"What has been decided?" Asked Nezu.

"She will take the entrance exam" Deku said in a confident voice, I just looked at him, shocked "I agree and if she pass then we can go from there" said Shoto whilst holding Deku's hand.

"OK, I will take the exam" I said shocked and wide eyed. I couldn't believe what was going on.

"Here, you're going to need this" said Midnight as she handed me a blue tracksuit set with white UA on it. I took it and looked at Deku who had a warm and kind smile on his face. What have I gotten myself into now? I thought as I was being ushered to the changing rooms by Midnight.
