A/N So I know I've got enough stories going on, but this plot bunny decided to come at me with a vengeance never before seen, and those of my discord only enforced the idea, by helping me with character placement.

So first off: which character is which in this story, and note, I'm changing a few this, including interactions, which characters go where with what I think their personalities will lead them to do.

Their interactions and overall dialogue will change along with other things. Until Dawn will just act as a backbone for this story.

Reminiscing

Jirou is alone for the last legs of the bus ride that will bring her right back to the lodge that almost ruined relationships between all of her friends. In her lap is her cell phone with a report done to acknowledge the disappearance of two good friends.

She looks out the window at the brewing snow storm and wishes for nothing more than to go back and change what happened.

ONE YEAR AGO

They were in the kitchen when it started. The oldest Todoroki sibling had rolled up the sleeves of his red sweatshirt showing off the tattoos he recently got done. His recently dyed hair sticking out from underneath his red knit hat.

As the others gathered around to marvel at the red and blue shapes crawling up his arms like flames. His other two siblings are making sure to comfort their brother after what happened before they came up to the lodge. When his sister hears the others commenting on tattoos, she turns and sees the varying shades of colors covering his arms.

"Touya, Did you seriously get tattoos?" She inquires, placing a gentle touch on her younger brother's shoulder before confronting the other. The oldest leaves the group that surrounds him and stands in front of his sister.

"Yeah, what of it?" he says going to pick at his nails acting bored.

"What of it? Touya, father is already mad at you for dying your hair black, do you really need to gain more of his ire by marking your skin with ink?"

"The only reason it irks him Fuyumi, is because the media will no longer be focused on him or his ''productions''."

"Those will stay with you for the rest of your life!" She shouts as she points to his arms.

"Yeah, well so will scars." He responds right back and the silence is even more deafening than the shouting Fuyumi did moments before. Fuyumi leaves after that, passing by the the window of the kitchen showing that she forgot a coat. Touya smacks his head before looking at his two younger brother and seeing the youngest with a downcast look cross his face.

"I'll be back." is all he says as he goes after her. Those left behind didn't know what to do, but knew that the two had to work it out on their own. As the hours start ticking away the youngest of the three, Shouto moves to go after them. The others stop him, and decide to wait for them to come back.

By dawn they know something is wrong and call the police from the land line. Yaoyorozu Momo is left to comfort Todoroki Shouto along side Ochako Uraraka and Iida Tenya. The others travel down the mountain to give statements and explain what happened. After giving his statement Bakugou Katsuki surprisingly goes to comfort the distraught sibling and even goes as far as explaining to the police what was the driving force of the argument.

Jirou is brought out of her musings by the bus stopping at the gates of Blackwood Pines with a dark figure standing under it. Upon exiting the bus she finds that it is just Iida who waves as he sees her approach. She pulls her black winter jacket tighter around her frame. The earbuds are slipped out of her and hung over her shoulders.

"hey Iida, been waiting long?" she asks as they begin walking.

"No in fact I was just waiting for everyone to arrive before making my own way up the mountain, you were the last one to show up." He explains as they come to a locked gate with a note tied to the chains. As Iida stops to read the note Jirou gets the gist of it and begins scaling the wall.

"Jirou it looks like we'll-"

"You coming Iida?" She interrupts from the other side of the gate and begins moving, cause if nothing else she can call the tram down and have it waiting for them

As he approaches the lift station he comes across a sign that speaks of. Before she gets to the station though she stops to inspect a sign off to the side.

"INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND BUTTERFLY PROPHECIES"

Tribes who once lived in these mountains believed that butterflies carried

dreams and prophecies of possible futures.

The color of the butterfly indicated the nature of the prophecy

DEATH: Black butterflies prophesied the dreamer's death

DANGER: Red butterflies warned of dangerous events

LOSS: Brown butterflies foretold of tragedy affecting friends

GUIDANCE: Yellow butterflies offered visions to help and guide

FORTUNE: White butterflies brought dreams of luck and good fortune

Backing away from the sign she finds a wooden cylinder carved into some kind of creature. The only color visible on it is yellow dye. She turns the the piece over and comes finds a hole carved into a butterfly on the back.

The moment she sees the hole her vision blurs and instead of seeing the well lit sign she finds himself looking at a pile of wood with a bird landing on top. only to fly away seconds later because Iida stands up with a snowball in hand.

She snaps to as her shoulder is shaken and finds herself in front of the sign with Iida beside her. She looks back at the totem and quickly sets the piece back down, looking again at the sign to find that yellow means guidance. Hoping to forget the whole thing the two leave to head up to the lift station, Where they find the map of the area painted in red saying "THE PAST IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL"

Jirou seeks the light coming from the station and finds a backpack outside on a bench from the ringing of a phone and decides to leave it in favor of privacy. At that exact moment a gun shot rings out through the area. Jirou looks around the area for where it may have come from when Iida approaches. "Do you know where that came from?"

"Hmm. If I'm correct there should be a shooting rang behind here, and Kirishima arrived a few moments before you so, I believe it could be him back there."

"Thanks I'm gonna go check it out, if I scream you'll know it wasn't Kirishima."

As she walks around the station She does in fact find Kirishima at shooting range taking out hanging sand bags and glass bottles. Jirou walks up right beside him. "Hey, nice shooting Tex."

"Thanks Jirou, did you make it up ok?"

"Yeah it was alright, but I think the lift is coming so we you should probably pack up."

"I guess I see you're point. No sense in having Iida come looking for us." With that being said Kirishima still has time to look around the lift station to find some weird ass things like a poster advertising an old hotel/sanitarium as well as a small security TV showing a bathroom before switching to the outside of the building their in.

"Hey Iida, the TV back there was acting pretty strange, It showed what looked like a bathroom for just a few seconds." Iida leaves the spot by the railing to check it out, but the image of just outside the lift stop never changes.

Upon entering the lift, They swap stories. Iida brings up the first time they met, how one male in their class kept strap snapping someone's bra, and was switched with him for a seat of front. after moving to the seat where the boy with the dyed afro sat, he met Shouto.

Kirishima's story is a little more exciting, where he was at try-outs for stunt doubles, and as he was leaving he met the heterochromic male.


Ochako sits at the top of the lift and and holds a snowball in hand. her fingers have gone numb awhile ago, but after hearing the lift moving she decided to get into position. It takes about ten extra minutes before the door finally opens and the snowball is let loose.

It nails Iida on the shoulder. "Bulls-eye!"

Kirishima laughs, "Dude, she got you good!" and with that makes his own snowball and gives it to Iida, "You gotta retaliate man. It's the law of the game."

Iida does and before the snowball hits Ochako jumps over the railing and ducks down. "You'll have to try harder than that."

As Iida goes to follow he is once again hit by a snowball, and the guilty party is none other than Kirishima. "Rule number 2, there are no friends." and Kirishima also jumps over the railing, and ducks behind a wood pile.

"Hey Jirou you gonna join in or not?" He asks before ducking down to avoid a snowball thrown by Ochako. Iida looks at the female for an answer and jirou hands off a snowball, "No, I think I'm going to go and look for Momo. I'll meet you guys at the lodge, have fun with your game." and with that she heads off towards the lodge. and continue their game the three do. They are shortly joined by Kaminari who makes his appearance known by getting Ochako in the back of the head.

At one point of the fight Kirishima sneaks around the two and creeps towards Iida's back, while Kaminari does the same to Ochako. Both waiting for the right moment to push the two into each other. Iida ends up pin her down. The two seem lost for a moment just laying there with Ochako in the snow and the two companions ruin the moment by making kissing noises. Ochako manages to roll the two over and is now straddling his lap. "What is wrong with you guys?"

"Oh nothing much, we were just thinking about meeting up with Ashido to give you guys some privacy." Kirishima laughs as Ochako pushes herself off and to her feet. "

"There is nothing going on, and I think it's a good idea to head up to the lodge before we all freeze." She defends and begins walking towards the path Jirou went on before.

Iida looks towards the red head and blond, "Why must you two be like this?"

"I don't know what you mean man, we're just trying to help you get the girl." Kirishima defends with a smile.

"Please don't, if I wish to ask Ochako out, I will find a way that wouldn't embarrass us."

"I don't know man, I think she totally digs the whole class president thing" Kirishima points out

"What ever you say Kirishima."

With that the two jog to catch up with Uraraka and run into a laughing Kaminari and two embarrassed girls


Jirou manages to catch up to Momo just as she makes it to the covered bridge halfway to the lodge.

"So what do you think everyone's been up to until now?" Momo inquires as they begin crossing the bridge.

"I don't know, but~"

"EEERRRRGGGHHHHHH!"

"AAAAHHHHHH" both girls scream as Kaminari jumps down from above. The blond laughs at the shock written across the faces of the females.

"Oh man that was great." The blond says with mirth in his tone. "I wish I had recorded that, just to enjoy the looks on your faces later."

"DENKI!" Jirou shouts at him, gunning to get a good punch in.

"Come on guys, it was great, and you know it. I mean, what's a few jokes between friends who haven't seen each other in awhile? I mean, with the woods being this spooky, it just felt right to try and scare someone." Kaminari defends.

"Seriously, I really want to punch you right now." Jirou admits, as she holds up a fist.

Kaminari jumps back a bit and moves closer to Yaoyorozu. "Come on Jirou, don't be like that, it was only in good fun."

"Alright fine, but I'm just going to lay it out for you otherwise this weekend is going to suck. Everyone knows that this is awkward, and it'd be better if we don't play to the mood of the night, Okay?" Jirou says with a quirk of her brow.

"I shall try to keep that in mind?" The blond says as his stance gets more relaxed, and Yaoyorozu can't help but joke, "Are you two going to make out now? Because I can leave."

Kaminari seeing an opportunity cuts into whatever Jirou was going to say. As he speaks he crosses his arms over his chest before straightening them out and having on on his temple and the other on the elbow. His legs shifting side to side. "Oh my God totally, we're sooooo gonna make out!" He says in what could only be an impression of a valley girl voice.

"But naw, I'm going to check back down by the cable car, See ya!" and with that Kaminari begins running back the way they came.

"Well, shall we get moving again?" Momo asks as she grabs her bags, and Jirou nods copying the action. "Might as well I suppose."

AS they make their way up the path they hear laughter and find their friend Ashido up above looking through a view finder. Laughing at whatever she is seeing. Jirou calls out to her. "Hey Ashido, what's so funny?"

The blonde looks down, and Jirou questions how she's not freezing in her outrageous outfit, but keeps quiet as she answers. "I'm just watching the snowball fight." And with that she turns the device towards the other two. "Come have a look.

When they peer through the scope in the direction of the lift station, they can see the fight and Jirou witnesses the moment from the totem, bringing it up to the two.

"Oh man, that's really weird. Do you think if we find some freaky totem pieces we'll be able to see the future?" Ashido inquires bouncing in the excitement of the possible.

"I don't know." Is all Jirou can provide.

A/N The original plan was for me to include Chisaki as Dr. Hill, but seeing how that will be difficult, I'll save that for the end of the story. If you read this on AO3 you'll be able to see some screenshot redraws done by my twin, but I can only leave the link to the Tumblr page here.
