(Opening Theme: My Hero Academia Opening 1-The Day Performed by Porno Graffiti)

A full hour had passed and the dust had nearly settled now that most of the army of Villains were rounded up. They had no way to track the three Villains that were left accounted for, and the ones behind the attack. Most of the students were left uninjured, except for Reina and Izuku who had taken the most severe hit. They were both immediately hospitalized along with the teachers that had been wounded from the fight.

Despite the fact that the students were told to go home, Katsuki along with Floyd stayed behind. They had successfully gotten the collar off of her, though she had a faint syringe marks were seen on her neck as the doctor treated her for the wounds. Katsuki soon came into the room, just as the doctor finished bandaging her up.

"How you holding up?" Katsuki asked as he put his hands in his pocket.

"I'm not sure…" Reina replied honestly as she rubbed her eyes a little, "... But thanks for asking…"

"Your friends gonna be alright." The doctor said to Katsuki, "Thankfully her wounds are nothing to serious and she didn't over do it with her Quirk. She'll make a speedy recovery." Katsuki didn't say anything to the doctor, as he just nodded his head. It hadn't been long before the nurse called the doctor.

"I'll leave you two alone." The Doctor said before he took his leave.

Katsuki took a stool that had been nearby and sat just at the side of her bed. "The others…" Reina said, "... Are they okay?"

"They're all fine. Deku's fine too." Katsuki said having a foot rest on his knee as he sat, "Any word on your Guardian?"

Reina's hands trembled a little as she struggled to form her words. She stopped shaking as Katsuki put his hand on top of hers, "Breathe. You're okay."

Reina nodded her head a little as she took a deep breath. She soon replied, "... He told me, he just got out of surgery. They said he'll make it, and he'll be expected to recover in the coming month…"

"Than why the hell do you look so damn worried?" Katsuki said in his usual tone, "You should be smiling."

"I know I should, but… I can't right now." Reina said to him as she reached for her neck that was bandaged, "I guess I'm still shook up about what happened."

Katsuki didn't say anything as Reina let out a shaky breath this time, as her hand started to shake again,"I still can't believe it… Villains managed to get into one of the most secured schools in the world… I thought that kind of thing only happened in movies… Looks like a lot of us were proven wrong today…"

"Like that's ever stopped you before." The blonde spiky haired teen said.

She merely huffed at this, like it had been a chuckle, "Yeah, but back than it was just the one group… Now it was, a whole army of them…"

Katsuki adjusted himself in his seat as he thought back to the Villain in particular; The one his comrades called Shigaraki. He remembered what he called her, how he looked at her. It was almost as if he knew her, and it made him pissed, though he didn't want to make her upset, since he could tell she had still been traumatized of the whole the thing.

"That man…." Reina started to say, "... With the hands… He knew my name… I don't know how but he knew it…"

"Hey…" Katsuki started to say.

"... How did he know me? Why did he know me?" She said before she scratched at her head, "What the hell did he want with me!?"

"Hey…"

"He kept talking to me like he knew me! He kept talking about someone I didn't even know! He wasn't making any sense! I couldn't understand him! I didn't know what to—"

"Hey!"

Reina flinched as Katsuki yelled at her, and immediately stopped talking, as she noticed the look in his eye. "I don't know who that guy was, or what the hell his deal is, but he's not going to get you. I'll make sure of that if I ever see his face again." Katsuki said to her, "Trust me, I'll keep you safe." Reina's eyes widened slightly at his words before she felt a little fuzzy in the head. What a strange choice of words is what she had thought.

Despite this she couldn't help but think to Shigaraki, as she had mixed thoughts about what could've happened. What if she had been taken, what Shota really was killed, what if her friends were killed? What could've she done than? She never thought there would be a moment in time where she would be more terrified in her life considering what she had gone through but, what had happened earlier had taken the cake.

She had soon lost her train of thought when she felt Katsuki grab each of her cheeks pulling her cheeks upward so it looked like it was a smile. "Come on, Nouki, I thought I told you to smile damn it." Katsuki said, "You look better that way."

"Nouki?" Reina said a bit slurred, before she pried his hands away from her face, "What happened to my first name?"

Katsuki's face turned red before he yelled angrily, "WH-WH-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!?"

"Back there, you called me by my first name." Reina said, as she played with her ponytail a bit, "That was the first time you did actually."

Katsuki started to stutter at his words, while he couldn't form any Reina couldn't help but giggle, and finally gave a genuine smile, making Katsuki's face heat up even more. "I guess this means that you're more aquintated with me now after what we've been through in middle school."

"SHU-SHUT YOUR FACE! IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!" Katsuki yelled as his face was still red.

"You're so complicated man." She said, "You don't have to be a stuttering mess, I don't mind if you call me by my first name. Everyone already is."

"I'M NOT STUTTERING YOU IDIOT!"

"Sure you're not… Katsu~ki~kun~."

"DON'T SAY MY NAME LIKE THAT!"

Reina laughed at the expression Katsuki made, leaving him satisfied at the fact that she had a smile on her face again, despite the fact that he looked pissed at the moment and was ready to blow something up. His mind raced back what had happened mere hours ago, as to the possibility that he could've lost her; and she wouldn't have known the truth. She wouldn't know that they met when they were only kids, and she wouldn't know how he truly felt about her. She could've been gone just like that and she would never know, and that thought surprisingly scared him, terrified him even.

With a deep breath, as he avoided her eyes he said, "Nou-Reina… Listen…" Reina looked to Katsuki as she noticed that he had his head to the floor while his face was red again, "... I know I'm shitty when it comes to timing, but… There's something I need to tell you. Thinking back on it I should've said it while we were in middle school."

"What is it?" Reina asked as she tilted her head slightly.

Katsuki gulped and picked up his head, looking her dead in the eye as he struggled to say his next set of words.

"Reina… The truth is…. I'm in lo-"

BANG!

Both of the teens jumped when the door broke, and landed on the floor. It was revealed to be Lena who had kicked down the door; behind her was Floyd and their mother and father Josephine and Joji. "REINA-CHAN! WE'RE HERE TO SEE YOU!" Lena yelled as she held what looked to be a bouquet of flowers.

"WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU EXTRAS DOING HERE!?" Katsuki yelled as he was back to his usual temper.

"IS IT WRONG THAT I WANTED TO VISIT MY BEST FRIEND IN THE HOSPITAL, PISS FOR BRAINS!?" Floyd yelled, "ALSO WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT CALLING ME AN EXTRA!?"

"I CAN CALL YOU WHATEVER I WANT TO YOU HALF-BREED LOSER!"

"OH SO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH THEN!? DO YA, YOU WALKING NUCLEAR TRIGGER HAPPY DICKWAD?!"

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU CALL ME INKHEAD?! I'LL KILL YOU!"

"NOT IF I KILL YOU FIRST, F***FACE!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME!? I'LL KICK YOUR ASS!"

"SQUARE UP BRO!"

Reina soon jumped when Josephine and Lena hit both of the boys on the head causing them to cease their arguing. "Don't fight in a hospital!" Josephine and her daughter shouted simultaneously. "THIS ASSHOLE STARTED IT!" Katsuki and Floyd yelled before they glared, "HEY, WHO ARE CALLING ASSHOLE,ASSHOLE?!"

Reina sat awkwardly in her bed, as she watch them continue to argue. "How did these two not get kicked out yet…?" Reina couldn't help but say with a questioning look.

Joji laughed before he said, "Seems like this gang is back to normal."

"That's normal?" His wife asked before turning to Reina.

Reina merely shrugged as she laughed a little; though she let out a squeak when Lena practically shoved the bouquet of flowers in her face. Lena said with a smile, "Here ya go, Reina-chan. Sorry for the trouble these two boys are starting."

"No, it's alright, I'm used to it by now." Reina said, "Thanks for the flowers."

"I'm glad that you're alright." Josephine said, "I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you."

"Don't be." She said, "It's kind of my fault anyway for rushing in like that."

Not long after she said she felt a slap on her head nearly falling off the bed, courtesy of Josephine. "I deserved that…" Reina said with groan as she rubbed where she hit him, "... Did you have to hit that hard though?"

Josephine replied with a satisfied smile, "Yes, someone's gotta discipline your ass."

"It must've been scary for you kids." Joji said, "But you all were strong enough to hold your own."

"That might be a bit exaggerated…" Reina said.

"It's no exaggeration." He said, "Normally you kids would be scared in that kind of situation, but in that moment you all acted like heroes in my book."

Floyd said with a smile to his father, "Ah thanks, Pops! We all fought really hard, even piss for brains fought hard instead of sitting on his ass."

"Are you asking for a death wish, Half-Breed?" Katsuki said with a look to kill.

"I would kick you right now, but everything hurts." Reina said to her best friend as she gave a deadpan look.

Floyd stuck out his tongue as he said, "Bite me."

"Careful what you wish for, shrimp." Lena said with a smile.

"Huh, why would you say that?" Floyd asked.

Lena said still with a smile, "Oh, no reason…"

"By the way…" Joji said, "... Since Aizawa-san is going to be sleeping, who are you going to be staying with?"

"I haven't thought about that actually." Reina said as she scratched her head, "I was just thinking that I could just head back home by myself when they let me out."

"Oh, no, no, no, no!" Josephine said, "That won't do at all young lady!"

Floyd asked, "Mom wait, what are you suggesting?"

"That she stays with us of course!" Josephine said with a smile.

Katsuki, Reina and Floyd's mouths dropped at this at what Josephine was suggesting. Lena on the other hand seemed to be totally on board with it as she cheered, "Oh yeah! Sleepover time! This calls for a good old fashioned Netflix and Chill!"

"Netflix and what?" Katsuki and Reina said in unison.

"Lena, sweetie, please…" Joji said to his daughter.

"Oh yeah baby!" Floyd said, "We can play Smash up in this joint, Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Dead or Alive 2 and ARMS!"

"Not you too…" Joji said.

"What the hell are these extras' talking about…?" Katsuki said with confusion in his voice.

"Must be an American thing…" Reina said with a shrug, before she looked to Katsuki, "... By the way, what did you want to tell me before? You didn't get a chance to finish."

Katsuki looked over to Floyd who gave a glare while his family remained oblivious. Katsuki looked back over to Reina as he replied, "... Just forget it for now." Reina tilted her head a little as she raised her eyebrow a little; She didn't see that Floyd had sighed with relief.

Just than they heard someone else step into the room, "Pardon the interruption." They turned and noticed that it had been someone with the police. He was a tall man with short black hair and eyes of black as well, wearing a trench coat and hat, "Is there a Reina Nouki in this room by any chance?"

The family looked to Reina as she slowly raised her hand. Floyd asked the man, "Who are you?"

"My name is Naomasa Tsukauchi, I'm a detective with the police force." He said with a friendly smile, as he removed his hat, "I don't mean to interrupt but I'd like to have a word with you Nouki-san."

"With me?" Reina said, "Why?"

"Well, it's about the Villains that appeared today." Naomasa said, "I'd like to ask you a few questions about them."

"Hang on just a second!" Katsuki said stepping forward, "She's been through enough as it is, she doesn't need to be reminded about what happened!"

Floyd soon stepped forward and added, "Yeah man! Give her a break! She doesn't need you to rub it in on her!"

"I know, it must've been traumatizing for her and do not wish to upset her…" Naomasa said sympathetically, "... But it is important that I get all the information I need for this investigation."

"BULLSHIT!" Katsuki yelled, "YOU'RE JUST GOING TO UPSET HER!"

"YEAH! HOP OFF, YA PIG!" Floyd added.

"Boys!" Josephine said, "Let the police do their work!"

"BUT-!" Before Floyd and Katsuki could finish Josephine gave them a cold death stare as she said "I'm sorry, were you two about to say something?"

"N-no mom." Floyd said as his voice quivered.

"YOU DON'T SCARE ME, HALF BREEDED OLD HAG!" Katsuki yelled with an angry look.

Josephine suddenly got a phone and as she put it on speed dial "Hey Mitsuki! Long time no see! Say how much is Katsuki's toys again? The twins are hyperactive this week and I really need something to soothe the little creatures you know?"

Lena whispered, "Can you see how much his hoodies are?"

Joji gasped as he said, "Lena! Josi!"

"DON'T YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT BUYING MY SHIT!" Katsuki shouted as he went to get the phone away from Josephine only for her to push him away.

Floyd laughed as he said, "Oh man, this is so priceless!"

"Guys…" Reina said as she smiled to them reassuringly, "... It's okay." She turned to the detective, "I'll answer any questions you may have-Tsukauchi-san was it?"

"I appreciate it Nouki-san." Naomasa said.

"Come on, let's give them some privacy." Lena said, "Let's go, Shrimp. We can do your favorite pastime, and critique on celebrity magazines and past memes."

Floyd groaned as he said, "Fine..."

"THAT'S your past time?" Katsuki said as he chuckled, "Seriously?"

Floyd yelled, "GO F*** YOURSELF, YOU WALKING ATOMIC BOMB!"

Katsuki merely scoffed before he put his hands in his pockets turning to Reina, "I'll be outside if you need me."

"Thanks." Reina said as she still had her smile.

"Say Ma. How much are Katsuki's video games again?" Floyd asked.

"Oh Mitsuki said they're worth 20 bucks each" Josephine replied, as she took out her wallet "I think I still have enough since my last paycheck came in today."

"WHAT DID I JUST SAY ABOUT BUYING MY SHIT, YOU INKY DINKY BASTARD?!" Katsuki yelled putting his forehead against Floyd.

Floyd shouted back, "OH UP YOURS! MRS. BAKUGOU SAID YOU NEVER USE THEM ANYWAY!"

"THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'D SELL THEM TO YA!" He yelled.

"TOO LATE! Ma already bought them via credit card!" Lena said with a smirk.

"OH I HATE YOUR FAMILY SO MUCH, INKHEAD!" Katsuki shouted, "THEY'RE NEXT ON MY LIST TO TOPPLE ONCE I BECOME A PRO HERO!"

"Good luck with that, kid." Josephine said with a snark.

Joji started to usure out the door despite them ready to rip each others throats out as he said to the Detective with an apologetic smile, "Sorry about this Detective."

"It's no problem. You picked a fine woman to be your wife, Joji-kun." Naomasa said, "To think the Super exclusive Secret Agent Josephine Walters-no Secret Agent Caligraphine would be married to a guy like you. "

Joji smiled and said, "Indeed time does fly by since then."

"Let's go, sweetie!" Josephine said, "I think the boys are about to have a death battle in the cafeteria!"

"I'M GONNA KILL YA!" They heard Katsuki yell in the distance.

"NOT IF I KILL YOU FIRST!" Floyd exclaimed.

"NOT IN A HOSPITAL, SHOW SOME DIGNITY!" Lena shouted, "WHEN WE GET BACK TO CLASS, YOU TWO ARE GONNA GET EXTREME PUNISHMENT FROM ME!"

"Better go take care of that!" Joji said as he went out the door, "We'll see you later Reina-chan!"

"Sure." She said as she waved a little just as Joji shut the door.

-Twenty Minutes Later; Second Floor Waiting Room-

Katsuki and Floyd were sitting on the chairs that had been provided, getting awkward looks from other people since they were both currently tied up thanks to Lena and Josephine's Quirk and bruises were seen on both of their faces. Katsuki growled at anyone that stared for too long while Floyd did the same. Floyd's family went to go deal with the security since they were threatening to ban them from the hospital all together as they waited for them to return.

"You damn extras…" Katsuki mumbled, "One of these days I'm gonna-"

Floyd cut him off as he said, "Give it a rest, Bakugou. We're tied up and we pissed off my ma and sister, bro."

"Don't call me bro, you and I are not friends." Katsuki said as he tried to adjust himself in his seat.

"Feelings mutual." Floyd replied

They both sat in silence for a moment or two, as they watched more of the doctors and nurses or sometimes patients pass by, paying them no mind. It hadn't been long until-

"I was going to tell her." Katsuki suddenly blurted out, surprising Floyd, "I was going to tell her how I feel about her."

Floyd adjusted himself as he asked, "Wait, you serious?"

Katsuki sighed as he replied, "... I could've lost her today. I could've lost her and she would never know how I really think of her . She needed to know that. At least…" He soon turned to Floyd as he had a pissed off look, "... She WOULD'VE known if you didn't come barging into the room!"

"Well excuse me, Princess!" Floyd replied in snark. "In case you haven't noticed I like her too and was gonna do the same thing!"

"Who said you can copy my thing?!" Katsuki shouted.

"Dumbass! You forgot she's my best friend, ya know?!" Floyd argued before he said under breath "Tch, so lame..."

Katsuki growled at this as he gave a glare, "Oh you think I'm lame?!"

"Not you man… Me.." Floyd said with a sigh "If only I had been there faster. She wouldn't be in this position." Katsuki noticed that his body started to shake as he continued, "... Damn it...I'm such an idiot… I'm letting history repeat itself again... It pains me to see her like this… I put up a tough front so she doesn't have to worry about me… Guess it worked to well huh?.."

Katsuki stayed silent for a moment as he put his head to the ceiling, "It pains me enough to admit it, but at least you had a plan of attack. I just did what came to mind, when that Mask guy told me about the poison. I want to keep her safe, but I feel like I'm letting her down…"

"Huh, that makes both of us.." Floyd said "If my plan were to fail at anytime, I would have left the rest to you and give up my life to save you both despite how much I hate your guts. But then again if I die… That'll just make Reina and Izuku sad…" Floyd looked over to Katsuki before saying, "Hey, how about making a deal?"

"Huh?" Katsuki asked "What the hell are you saying, Inkhead?"

"If one of us ends up together with Reina, the other will not say shit about it." He said, "We move on and etcetera."

Katsuki couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, "You being serious, half-breed?"

"I'm dead serious." Floyd said with a serious look on his face. "We both love her, but let's face it... She can only pick one of us. So if she chooses one of us when the time comes, we'll have no hard feelings about it."

Katsuki merely huffed and gave it some thought. After a while he had gotten a smirk on his face before he responded, "I'm not gonna lose her to you half-breed. Just prepare yourself for that when I tell her!"

Floyd smiled back as he said, "Couldn't have said it better myself, Trigger Happy Piss Head!"

Just as this was said, Josephine came stomping back over as she had a pissed off look on her face. Floyd suddenly started to quake with fear as he said, "Oh, he-he-hey ma. H-how did i-it go?"

Josephine replied with an evil smile, "You two lucky...We're not banned from the Hospital...But... YOU AND KATSUKI ARE NOT TO STEP AT LEAST 3 FEET WITHIN THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN OR YOU'LL HEAR FROM ME!"

"Kay yeah fair enough!" Floyd said as he started to sweat ink.

"AGAIN YOU DON'T SCARE-" Before Katsuki could finish he sees that she has the phone in her hand making him flinch a bit

"Don't even think about it, Blondie. I called Mitsuki letting her know the same thing. You'll be hearing from her when you get home." Josephine said with a smile.

Katsuki had grumbled, "Damn you, talking to the old hag…"

Floyd couldn't help but yell, "SHE'S NOT AN OLD HAG! HAVEN'T YOU HEARD THE PHRASE RESPECT YOUR MOM AND DAD?!"

"QUIT TRYING TO TELL ME WHAT TO DO WITH MY LIFE!" Katsuki shouted.

Lena shook her head as she said, "They never learn do they?"

Joji said as he slapped himself, "They don't."

Reina sat still in her room as she watched Tsukauchi explain himself, as she was sure he did with her fellow classmates about the incident. She told him the basics as he had asked her casual questions. That was until he began to examine the collar that the doctor had removed from her neck. Reina felt uneasy as she recalled what happened earlier. She grabbed a hold of her arm when it started to shake. She had already told him what the device did, or told him what it did to her back in USJ.

"So if I'm understanding this correctly…" Tsukauchi began to say, "... This device, it blocked out your Quirk?"

"It's just as I said." Reina said as she clenched her hand, "... When I tried to use my Quirk, my sword wouldn't come to me, no matter how hard I tried. It was like Sho-I mean Eraserheads Quirk, but… It was different…"

"I see." Tsukauchi said as he saw where the tips of the syringes were, "Do you have an idea on who made this or who attacked?"

She nodded before responding, "I heard their names from one of them… Or at the very least what they call themselves. It was... Tomura Shigaraki and Tadano Hitonari."

Tsukauchi eyes widened slightly at the name, "Well, Tomura Shigaraki doesn't sound familiar but Tadano Hitonari… What did he look like?"

"He wore a gas mask so I couldn't get a good look at him, but his hair… It was brown and gray. When he fought Josephine-san, I didn't see him use his Quirk. He only used whatever he had in his arsenal. The way he fought, it was almost like he was from the military or something." She soon took notice of the look on his face, "Is it someone you know Tsukauchi-san?"

"More or less." Tsukauchi replied before asking, "Now than, back to the matter at hand. One of your classmates said one of them knew you. Do you know how they could've gotten that information?"

Reina shook her head as her body shook slightly at the thought of Shigaraki.

"Do you remember seeing him at all before this incident? Perhaps on the street? Or a run in at a store?" He asked.

This time Reina had stuttered, "N-No. I-I've never seen him before in my life…"

"Do you know why he wanted you?"

"N-n-no. I don't know… I don't know why… He just tried to…"

Reina stopped herself when she felt something wet hit her fingers. She realized that she had been crying again, Tsukauchi was quick to notice as well. Reina quickly wiped away her tears, "I'm sorry."

"Don't be." Tsukauchi said, "I understand it's hard to talk about these things, especially the ordeal that you went through. We'll do everything in our power to keep you safe."

"I'll hold you to that." She said as she looked out the window, "Though with my Guardian currently stuck in Sleepy Beauty mode, I'll have to handle going home alone. Unless Josephine-san, was serious on taking me in till he gets out of the hospital…"

"Oh you don't have to worry about that." The Detective reassured her, "All Might had taken the liberty of calling a couple of friends of your Guardian."

"Friends of Shota?" Reina said, "Wait a minute, how do you know All-"

"REINA-CHAN!"

Just as she heard the doors slide open and Reina suddenly found herself getting tackled nearly falling off of the bed, for the second time today; even Tsukauchi had been taken back by this. She only caught a glimpse of blonde hair as she felt a cheek rub against her own face. "Reina-chan~" A person said in a sing song fashion, "I missed you so much~"

"What the-" Reina said as she realized who it had been, "Ryuko-chan?!"

The woman named Ryuko or as the world knew her as Pixie Bob from the Wild Wild Pussycats, embraced her tightly. "Even though you're in high school now, you're still as cute as ever!" Ryuko said with a cat like smile.

"Ryuko-chan, I can't breath!" Reina said with her voice muffled.

"Ryuko-san, please." Another voice had cut in, "You're gonna end up suffocating her to death."

As Ryuko let her go, Reina saw a familiar woman with short brown hair and a pair of brown eyes. Reina knew her as Shino, but the world on the other hand, knew her as Mandalay, another member of the Wild Wild Pussycats.

"Shino-obasan*!?" Reina said still surprised to see the two of them here. Shino merely smiled as she approached her, giving her a hug of her own; this time though Reina had returned it.

(*Obasan means Auntie in Japanese, and no Mandaly isn't Reina's Aunt, Reina calls her that since she's close to her.)

"All Might told us about what happened." Shino explained as she gently broke out of the embrace, "Thank God Aizawa was able to pull through, and that you're alright."

Reina smiled to the both of them, as she couldn't help but hug them again, "It's really good to see you both."

"We're happy to see you too, Reina-chan." Ryuko said as she hugged her back.

Tsukauchi smiled at this before he decided to take his leave from the room, telling the Aihara family and Katsuki that they could return. Much to Josephine's disappointment, Shino had explained that her and Ryuko would be the ones taking care of her; Though Josephine didn't mind it at all as she smiled, as she was just happy Reina wasn't going to be alone in the house.

It wasn't long before the hospital had discharged her and had allowed Reina to return home, but no without a police escort, that had been ready and waiting. Reina had put her sword and school bag in the trunk of Shino's car, taking note that there had been a significant amount of groceries, while the Aiharas and Katsuki were there to see her off.

"You take care Reina-chan." Joji said, "Get plenty of rest."

"Better be prepared for when you return to school!" Lena said, "Cause we ain't gonna go easy!"

"I don't doubt it." Reina said as she held the bouquet of lilies, "Thanks again for the flowers."

"Ah it's not big deal!" She said.

"Don't hesitate to call us if you need anything." Josephine said.

Floyd soon stepped forward and said, "Hope to you see you in school Reina-chan. Just remember if you don't come by I'll drag your ass to class if I have to."

"That's not very gentleman like of you." Reina said as she laughed a little.

"Come on Reina-chan." Shino said.

"Kay!" She said, before she proceeded to enter the back seat, "See you at school Floyd-kun."

"Right back at ya!" Floyd said saluting before he followed his family to their own car. Reina laughed a little before she stepped into the back seat, with the window rolled down; That's when Katsuki approached. "Hey." He said getting her attention, "You sure you're going to be okay?"

"I will be." Reina said, "You don't have to keep worrying about me, it's out of character for someone like you."

Katsuki merely scoffed, "Shut up." Reina couldn't help but giggle at the look on his face. "Just…" Katsuki tried to say, "... Just promise me if something happens… Or if you want to talk… call me and I'll come running, okay?" Reina didn't reply, instead she held out her pinky to him. Katsuki had no hesitation as he held out his own pinky letting it intertwine with hers. "There we go." She said with a warm smile, "Now I can't go back on my word."

Katsuki widened slightly, as he had been the one who used that phrasing earlier that same day; though that didn't stop him from having a smile of his own. The car started to move allowing Reina's pinky to move from his gently. She waved to him as she shouted from the car, "I'll see at school-Katsuki-kun!"

Though Katsuki was a bit shocked that she used his first name, he still smiled as he waved back to her, "Same to you-Reina!"

-That Night; Local Bar-

Within the lone bar, that had been underground a supposedly abandoned building, a familiar purple void opened up seemingly out of thin air; out came Shigaraki along with Tadano, and Kurogiri had been standing over the two of them, taking deep breaths as he exhausted himself. Tadano was kneeling as he examined Shigaraki's wounds more closely while Shigaraki groaned out of agony.

"Get the first aid. Now." He told Kurogiri.

"Right away." Kurogiri said before he went behind the bar.

"Ouch…" Shigaraki said as his body shook, puddles of blood were forming onto the floor as Tadano helped him to sit up, "... I was shot in both of my arms and legs… We lost completely… Even Nomu was defeated! To top it all off, the underlings were defeated! Those kids were strong… The Symbol of Peace… Was in perfect health… You were wrong, Master!"

Shigaraki turned his attention to a screen that showed no image, only the words "ONLY SOUND" was seen and a webcam was built into the screen. "No I wasn't." A voice of a man had said, "We just weren't prepared enough."

"Yes, we underestimated them." Another voice of a man had said, "It's good we did it under that cheap name "League of Villains" name."

This time a woman's voice had been heard on the other side of the screen, "Personally I think this whole thing was a complete success. If anything we were able to get results quicker than we anticipated. Isn't that right brother?"

"Spare us of your optimism Futsuno." Tadano said to the woman as he started to treat Shigaraki's wounds, "This was a failure and you know it."

"That reminds me…" The second voice had said, "... What about Master and my joint creation Nomu? Was he not retrieved?"

"He was blown away." Kurogiri replied, while handing Tadano the first aid.

"What!?" The second voice exclaimed.

"Let me guess…" The woman named Futsuno said, "... The Symbol of Peace did it?"

"Yes, it was him." Tadano replied as he started to treat Shigaraki.

"Why couldn't you get him back!?" The second voice said.

Kurogiri quickly explained, "Well to be more precise, without an accurate set of coordinates, I couldn't find him even with my warp. I didn't have time."

"Now isn't that interesting?" Futsuno said albeit amused by this.

"After everything we did to make him powerful as All Might!" The second voice said out of anger.

The first voice soon said, "Well I suppose it can't be helped. That's unfortunate."

"Power…?" Shigaraki said as he soon recalled something, "... Oh yeah that's right, there was a child that was as fast as All Might."

"Oh?" The first voice said as he was curious, "Is that so?"

"If he and that Aihara boy hadn't gotten in the way…" Shigaraki said as anger started to come to him, "... We might've been able to kill All Might, and take Rei-chan with us! Those brats! Those damn brats! They're as annoying as that bitch!"

"Rei-chan you say?" The second voice said, "You wouldn't happen to be referring to Reina Nouki, would you?"

"He is." Tadano said, "There was a girl there bearing that name. We didn't recognize her at first because she was hiding the source of her Quirk."

"Reina Nouki was there?" Futsuno said sounding surprised, "I thought she was dead."

"She's not. She's alive and she was there at that school." Shigaraki said before stating aggressively, "She doesn't know who I am... It's because of the bitch she doesn't know who I am!"

"I see now." The first voice had said as he had put it together, "She must've erased her memory in order to protect her. How bold yet foolish of her to do."

"She's going to pay for this when I find her!" He said, "That damn bitch will pay!"

"Shigaraki." His Master said sternly, "I know you have regrets, but this was not a futile exercise. Gather the elite. Take all the time you need. We cannot move freely, which is why we need a symbol like you, Tomura Shigaraki."

"What about the girl?" Kurogiri asked, "Do we just leave her?"

"Don't worry, we'll get her in time." The first voice said, "We just have to be patient."

The old yellowish paper suddenly feel off of the bar due a small gust of wind that leaked from the walls. The picture landed right beside Shigaraki as he turned his gaze to it. From the crayon it was made, it revealed two people in the drawing, a young boy and a girl, in front of an orange sky, standing in a field of green with smiles on their faces. The boy had the same colored hair and eyes as he did while the girl, who was smaller than him had purple and what looked to be light green hair with eyes of purple and red; a third eye was seen in the middle of her forehead in the drawing colored in black.

Shigaraki's hand reached out to the picture and took it in his hands, making sure to keep his finger elevated so that he didn't disintegrate it accidentally .

"Rei-chan…" Shigaraki said holding the picture close to him, "I'll bring you back… I'll make you remember if I have to. After all… Your the one I can't bring myself to hate."

-Aihara Residence-

While Josephine, Lena and Joji went to set up the dinner table, Floyd had did his best to draw out a new sketch in one of his many sketchbooks he carried. Though it didn't help that his younger siblings Hana and Eliot had been in the same time and were playing yet another game; this time it had been Marvel vs Capcom 3.

"What are you brats doing?" Floyd asked.

"Well I'm playing Deadpool and Hana is Dante!" Eliot said, "I got her on the ropes!"

"No you don't!" Hana said, "Dante is my best character in the game!"

Floyd said, "Morons! If anything Zero is the best character in the game!"

"No way Deadpool is better!" Eliot argued.

"No! Dante is!" Hana countered.

Floyd yelled at the both of them, "No Spider-Man is!"

"YOU JUST SAID ZERO!" The twins yelled.

Sachihiro who sat on the couch just next to Floyd trying to read a book couldn't help but groan, "Why do you gotta be so loud?"

Floyd argued with his little brother, "If you don't like it, move out."

"I would if I had the cash." Sachihiro said, "That is if a CERTAIN set of twins stops quote on quote borrowing my money from my allowance." As Sachihiro said this he had eyed the twins in particular; they both had guilty looks on their faces at that point.

"Pfft! We don't know what you're talking about Sachi!" Hana said trying to act innocent.

Eliot added as he laughed nervously, "Yeah! We can't even count! We're only on the 2nd grade."

"I hope you two have nightmares tonight." Sachihiro said with an unamused expression.

Floyd bonked him on the head before he yelled, "Don't say shit like that!"

"DON'T HIT ME! THAT'S CHILD ABUSE!" Sachihiro shouted.

Floyd yelled back, "WE'RE PRACTICALLY THE SAME AGE!"

"DOESN'T MATTER YOU CAN'T HIT YOUR YOUNGER BROTHER!" He yelled

The young artist shouted, "IT'S CALLED DISCIPLINE!"

Lena yelled from the dining area, "HEY NO FIGHTING IN THERE, RUGRATS!"

Floyd shouted back, "BITE ME!"

Josephine soon said calmly, "Kiddies calm down, and let's have some supper!"

Floyd and Sachihiro said at the same time, "Okay mom…"

As Josephine went to put the food on the table, she noticed that Joji had a worried look on his face..

"What's wrong, Hon?" Josephine asked.

"We're lucky things didn't get too crazy today." Joji said, "... After what happened back in America, I don't want a repeat of what happened to our son and his friend…"

Josephine put her hand on his as she reassured "Don't worry. We won't make this a repeat of what happened. We're his parents after all."

"Yeah but you saw that fight and those Villains...I'm just scared-"

"Whatcha talkin about pops?" Floyd asked before his father could speak.

Joji jumped at the fact that his son just appeared out of nowhere and he had just been peeking behind the kitchen counter. He couldn't help but yell at his son, "NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL!"

"I don't know...Daddy did sounds suspicious.." Hana said peeking from behind the kitchen counter as well.

"Are you cheating on mom?" Sachihiro asked doing the same.

Eliot soon came up, having on a reporters outfit,"Are you buying one of those magazines you get from Uncle Keith that you told me not to look at until-" Before Eliot could finish Joji laughed as he said "Okay okay, that's enough now..."

Josephine soon said with a smile, "Now let's have ourselves some hamburger steak!"

"YAY! HAMBURGER STEAK!" The twins exclaimed out of excitement.

"Woohoo… Hamburger steak." Sachihiro said with little enthusiasm.

"I was hoping we would have beef patties though…" Floyd said disappointed.

"Well too bad, we're getting steak! Now eat your cheese variant dear." Josephine said still with a smile as she went to the dinner table with her family following post haste. Floyd couldn't help but say, "You know that gives me gas.."

"Hence why I'm not looking forward to eating them." Sachihiro said.

Josephine said to the boys in a demonic tone of voice, "DO IT OR SLEEP OUTSIDE TONIGHT!"

Both of the brothers hugged each other as they started to shake. "Did I say I wasn't looking forward to it?" Sachihiro said, "I meant to say, yeah! I love ma's hamburger steaks! Don't you bro?"

Floyd said as he laughed nervously, "Yeah can't wait to eat some, hehe!"

-Aizawa Residence; Reina's Room-

After Reina arrived back home, she was more than happy to catch up one of the two people that knew her as a child. She asked them both a lot of things, like if their teammates were doing alright and even what kind of jobs they were doing. She even told them about what the first day at UA was like and that she was happy to attend a school as famous as UA and couldn't wait for the training camp in the coming summer. Though despite her having a smile on her face, she couldn't help but think back to the ringleader, the man named Tomura Shigaraki. She thought about him at dinner, even now as she laid in bed unable to sleep.

She tried to take her mind off of it, by reading one of her many books that had been sitting on the bookshelf. She read one book in particular, titled, "Through the Looking Glass"; that had been one of her favorite books since her time in elementary. She laid on her stomach as she had only a single lamp that had been dimly lit as to see what she it was she had been reading; Every now and than, she would look over to her red hat as she had a certain thought in her head. She thought back to that little boy who had the same red hat, and even called her by the same nickname Shigaraki did.

"...Rei-chan…?"

Reina picked up her head when she saw a pair of gray sneakers that same little boy she had seen that same day. "It's you again…" Reina said softly. The boy kneeled down as he still wore her red hat. She saw red eyes staring down at her, the very same red eyes Shigaraki had.

"... What's wrong Rei-chan?" The boy said, "Did you have a nightmare again? Do you want hear a story to help you sleep?"

Reina slowly put down her book as she looked to the boy, with curious eyes, "... Who… Who are you…?"

She jumped slightly when she suddenly found the room light turn on; the boy disappeared the moment she blinked. "Just as I thought you're still awake." A familiar voice had said. Reina turned and saw that it had been Shino, wearing her nightwear.

"I couldn't sleep." Reina said as she sat herself up, closing her book as she bookmarked a page, "How can I after today?"

"Well despite how you all proceeded it, it was traumatic." Shino said, "I'm sure you're other classmates are feeling the same."

"Yeah, well, at least most weren't scared shitless and actually helped." The young teen said, "Me on the other hand… I just ended up getting in the way and complicated the problem… As I usually do."

Shino sighed at this, before she took a seat just next to her, "If Aizawa wasn't sleeping in the hospital bed, he would've hit you on the head for that." Reina looked to her surprised to hear this kind of thing. "Reina-chan, it's not your fault what happened. And you certainly didn't complicate anything."

"I'm not sure about that…" Reina said, "... I just rushed in without thinking like I always did. I let my anger get the better of me, and I couldn't save anyone. So much for Shota's training… I wasn't strong enough to save anyone..."

"But you did save someone. You saved two lives today." Shino said, "If it hadn't been for you the Villains would've most likely killed Shota, and Josephine. If it hadn't been for you, they wouldn't be here with us."

Reina didn't say anything as she looked to the floor as she twiddled her thumbs. Shino thought about what to say, until she had a thought. "You know something Reina-chan…" Shino said, "... You remind me of a friend of mine, that was a teacher at the UA. When she was just starting out as a teacher, she was just like you."

Reina raised her eyebrow at this, "Like me? How so?"

Shino soon explained, "Well, she was strong, intelligent, and had a bit of a temper herself. She had her own way of looking at the world that some don't see at first glance. Though people admired her for her selflessness. Despite whatever danger came to past, she always thought of others, not just for herself. And even if she was scared, she would confront the danger head on so that she could put others at ease. Some say that her methods, even her ideals was matching to that of All Might. Every time she came out of a situation always seemed to think it was her fault. You'd think that would get her to give up, it actually didn't stop her."

"... What kept her going…?"

"That answer is simple. She never forgot the reason why she did it, and what had been truly important to her. She had friends that would've been gone if it hadn't been for her heroic acts, and most importantly, despite where she came from, despite all she had lost in the past she had something else topping practically the whole world… She had love." The young teens eyes widened a little at this as she couldn't help but tilt her head curiously as if she had been a dog. Shino chuckled at the expression she had made as she knew she didn't quite understand the last part.

"I know it sounds confusing but don't worry." Shino said as she patted her head, "You'll understand when you yourself find what truly matters to you."

"You know…" Reina said, "... Even after all this time… Sometimes I don't get what it is you're saying."

Shino laughed a little before she said, "Trust me, you'll understand someday."

Shino gave Reina a hug, and though she had been a little hesitant, she had hugged her back. As she broke from the embrace, she gave her one last pat on the head. "You can read a little more if you want, though just remember that sleep is important."

"Don't worry." Reina said, "I'll finish this chapter and get to bed."

Shino smiled and nodded before she proceeded to exit her room, though just before she could shut the door-

"Hey, Shino-obasan?" Reina said.

Shino turned back to her, "Yes… Is something wrong?"

Reina went to say something but she had been hesitant in doing so. Instead she let out a sigh before she said, "Oh, nevermind."

Shino couldn't help but give a curious look of her own before she gave a smile. "Goodnight Reina-chan." Thus she left Reina alone in the room after shutting the door. She let out a sigh as she looked around her room, spotting her laptop that had been nearby. She took the red hat that had been sitting at her bedside and went over to her desk, opening up her computer and turning it on. She looked to her side and saw that the boy was there again; the same boy with the red hat.

"Rei-chan?" The young boy said to her, "What are you going to do now?"

Reina didn't answer, knowing that he wasn't really there. She put on her hat just as she brought up the internet browser on her computer.

"Tomura Shigaraki… Who are you…?"
