Hello my lovely readers! I am back with the new chapter. Now you may wonder at some point what Tsu and Izuku did at the Shipwreck without the grapist. And the answer it, use your imagination. Honestly not a lot chanes there but still it's not something I could think up. Sorry for spelling Grammar errors. Pretty, pretty, please leave a comment, or review. Enjoy guys, gals, and non-binary pals.

The noise was getting closer. I picked up the pace in running. On the way, Kirishima informed the Katsuki wanted to go after the mist guy.
"What?" I said, "Is he crazy?" now if I'm being perfectly honest, twenty minutes ago I would have tried and stopped him. But fuck it, what's another bad idea in the worst scenario that any of us could be in?
I felt my stomach tighten as we got closer got. The noise got louder. My legs cared me faster. Then, we saw it.
The monster the villains brought with them. The mist villain. The guy with the hands on his body. All Might is bleeding and trapped. And, Izuku trying to help.
My heartfelt liked it stopped. My mind was blank but my body keeps moving. Never in my life was I so happy and relieved to see Katsuki set off an explosion.
"Get the hell out of my way Deku!" he yelled. The grabbed the mist guy by his armor. There then came a plethora of ice, freezing the monster. Todoroki.
I smiled as I drew my sword and shield.
"One of your poorly trained thugs told me you're here because you think you can kill All Might," he said.
I try to forget the fact that that was the one piece of information we all knew. But whatever. All Might was able to loosen the monster grip an jump out. Once out he grabbed his injury.
Kirishima jumped and tried to go for the hand guy, but missed.
"That was supposed to be cool," he said. I looked at the monster and saw I was close enough and shot one a cord with a spike on the end and took out of the things eyes. Next, to me, Bakugou was saying something but I didn't catch it as I recoiled my cord.
"The Symbol of Peace will not be defeated by delinquents like you," Todoroki said, stone-faced as ever. Soon Izuku was by me.
"You okay?" I asked, wiping the blood off my armband and make a sword again. He nodded and looked at my shoulder.
"Kaichan," he said.
"It's fine," I tell him, "Let's focus on this."
"Kacchan, everyone," he said looking around. Tears welled up in his eyes but he wipes them away quickly. I looked around for Aizawa and didn't see him. I noticed a dent in the ground. I could only imagine so little.
The hand guy looked at us for a minute.
"Kurogiri," he said, turning to the mist guy, "How could you let this brat get the best of you? You've gotten us into a real jam here."
Katsuki grin wickedly, "You got careless you dumb villain. It wasn't hard to figure you out," he said, "Only certain parts of you turn into that smoky warp gate. You use that mist to hide your body as a distraction. Thinking that made you safe," he explained like we were in a shounen manga. Katsuki smiled some more, "That's why we missed. But if you didn't have a body then you wouldn't be wearing this neck armor right? You're not immune to physical attacks if they're well aimed."
You know, as much as I hate the insufferable prick, I will admit he's smart.
Kurogiri groans and shifted a little. Katsuki set off a few small pops of explosions.
"Don't move," Katsuki said, "You try anything funny and I'll blow your ass up so bad they'll be piecing you back together for weeks."
"Oh, that doesn't sound very heroic," Kirishima said, smiling. I almost freaking laughed at that.
Hands guy turned to the monster and that's when I learn it's named. "Nomu," he said. Nomu sunk into the ground through the warp gate. Then he came out the other one, completely free. His arm and leg that were frozen fell off.
All of our mouths hanging open. I felt a feeling of shock and fear.
"How is that thing still moving?" Izuku asked for us all, "He's all messed up.
"Stay back!" All Might said. A thought crossed my mind. All Might had met his limit for today. How was he still standing?
Before I could wonder about the question any more something terrifying happened. The ice on the Nomu's body broke off and uncovered muscle took its place. The things had grown back it's limbs. His eye grew back too.
"Oh, God almighty," I whispered. All Might was talking to the leader of the villains, but I didn't catch it. I was too busy watching in horrified as skin covered the monster's muscles. The one thing I did catch was more than one Quirk. Was that even possible? I asked myself. I gripped my sword tighter. I began listening again.
"Get him Nomu," hand guy said looking at Katsuki. Oh, no. I couldn't even blink before it all happened. It was almost too fast to see. We were all knocked back several feet.
When I looked up I didn't see Katsuki. I saw the Nomu and Kurogiri.
"Kacchan!" Izuku yelled. Then we all looked to the right to see he was right freaking there.
"Kacchan?"
"Yay, you survived," I said in a sarcastic tone rolling my eyes because of course, he did.
"Woah that's awesome you dogged it," Izuku said.
"Shut up," Katsuki said, "No I didn't you damn nerd."
"Then how'd you get over here?" Kirishima asked.
"I have a theory," I said looking back over towards the villains.
"All Might," Izuku said. The Pro Hero looked angry.
"These are kids and you didn't hold back?" he said angrily.
"I didn't have much choice," The hand guy said, "He was threatening my companion. Besides these kids are no angels. The plain looking one," he said looking to Izuku.
Plain, bitch he's green. I though in the back of my mind. But then I remember that my mom turns in to a mother fucking dragon so, yeah.
"He tried to kill me with a maxed out punch. What kind of hero does something like that?"
"The kind that stops cockless bastards like you from hurting others," I say before I can stop myself.
"And her," he went on, "She took out my Nomu's eye. You think you can get away with being as violent as you want if you say it's for the sake of others. But you know what All Might?" he said, "That pisses me off. Why do some people get to decide that some violent acts are heroic and others are villainous?
"Casting judgment to what is good and evil. You think you're the Symbol of Peace, huh. You're just another government-sponsored instrument of violence. And violence always breeds more violence. I'll make sure the world understands that when you're dead."
Part of that made sense, but that didn't make what he did any better if that was his idles.
"You're nothing but a lunatic," All Might said, "Criminals like you, you always try and make your acts sound noble. But admit it you only do it because you like it. Isn't that right?"
"We've got them outnumbered," Todoroki said.
"And Kacchan found the mist guy's weakness," Izuku said.
"This guy might act really tough, but we can take him down with All Might's help," Kirishima said. I gripped my sword, but then there was a pain in my shoulder. The poison was getting worse. My left arm felt like it was on fire. I knew we couldn't do much, but we were running out of option here. Fighting was the only option we had.
"Let's end this," I said.
"Don't attack," All Might said, "Get out of here."
"You would have been in trouble earlier if it wasn't for me, remember?" Todoroki said. Was he like his father after all? I wondered. "You need our help."
"I thank you for your assistance, but this is different," All Might said, "It's going to be alright. Just sit back and watch a Pro at work."
I held my breath and wait for one of the scariest moments of my life to end.
"Nomu, Kurogiri," said the villain, "Kill him, I'll deal with the children."
The villain ran towards us, I got ready. So did the boys.
"Heads up we're fighting after all," Kirishima said. I looked at All Might. And the next thing I knew, was that I was flying backwards. I shot two hooked cords into the ground and dug my feet into the ground. I was next to Todoroki and Kirishima. I could hardly hear anything. I watched in amazement and worry. The wind whipped my hair around me.
All Might was giving it his all even when he was weak. All of his hits where planed. And every one of them was more than a hundred percent of his power.
All Might made one punch that sent the Nomu flying back.
"A real hero," he said, "Will always find a way for justice to be survived."
I watched in awe. Every move he made, every kick, every punch was amazing. The Nomu wasn't holding up as well anymore. The ground shook.
"Now for a lesson," All Might said, "You may have heard these words before, but I'll well teach you what they really mean. Go beyond. Plus Ultra!" he yelled planting one final punch on the Nomu before blasting him clear out of the USJ. Everything shook and trembled.
We all stood there with our mouths open just a bit. I had never in all my life seen something so amazing. There were no words to give it justice. You just had to see it.
"It was like the finishing move in a video game," Kirishima said, "He knocked the shock absorber right out of him. I've never seen that kind of brute strength."
"Imagine having power like that," Katsuki said. I looked at Izuku. One day he wouldn't have to imagine, he would have that power.
All Might had punched the thing so hard that he couldn't regenerate.
When the dust and smoke cleared away, All Might said, "I really have gotten weaker. Back in my hay day, five hits would have been enough to knock that guy out. But today it took more than three hundred mighty blows," he turned to face us. He was smiling. He turned to the villains.
"You've been bested villains," the hero said, "Surrender. We all want to get this over with quickly."
The hand villain shook with anger and rage. "He cheated,"
It was such a childish thing to say. But it set a twisting feeling in my stomach.
The villain was searching of his neck. He was about to snap.
"What's wrong, not attacking me," All Might said, "Didn't you say you were going to clear this level? Well come and get me if you dare."
I looked at the boy, then to All Might.
"This is, intense," Katsuki said.
"As I expected," said Todoroki, "There's no reason for us to fight now. He'll take care of it."
Just then the pain in my shoulder grew. I let out a small cry. My weapons retracted and I grabbed my arm. My eyes squeezed shut as I felt Kirishima's hand rest on my other shoulder.
"We need to get her to Recovery Girl," he said, "Come on Midoriya! Let's go regroup with the others. The last thing we want to do is get taken hostage or get in his way."
Another wave of pain hits me.
"It hurts," I winced. I was in too much pain to move.
"Come on, you won't have to deal with for much longer," Kirishima promised. There was a gentle cold that ran across my shoulder and the painted lessened. I looked at Todoroki as he put his hand down.
"Thanks," I mutter. I was so distracted, I didn't even notice Izuku. I hear All Might's voice but I didn't worry. I leaned on Kirishima for support. Things where get hazy. My stomach felt like it was shrinking. I was tired.
"Izuku…" I said opening my eyes to look at him. He was worried. The villains were talking I couldn't understand. I felt weak.
Mom. Dad. Tatsuya. Hiriyur. Ryoto. Natsumi. My family. My friends. A week ago that only meant Izuku but now. Iida. Uraraka. My classmates. My teachers. Where was Mr. Aizawa? Where was he? Was he okay?
I hear a voice. It's faint and quiet but familiar. Stay awake, storm cloud, it said. Stormcloud? Aunt Tia, she was the only one who called me that. Was, was I dying?
I thought crossed my mind. This morning? Did I say goodbye to Dad? Did I forget to say goodbye? I panic inside. I try and stay awake while trying to remember if I said goodbye to my dad this morning. I snap awake when I hear the words.
"We haven't missed our chance to kill All Might."
What does that mean? The next thing I was aware of was the villains that were taken out before beginning to rise up again like zombies from the grave. This was bad.
"Kirishima," I whispered.
"Yeah," he said.
"If there's no other way, leave me here."
"What?" he said,
"I can't fight, and if you or someone else focuses on protecting me none of us will make it out."
"No," he said, "we all get out of this. We just need to wait for the Pros to get here."
"Just promise Izuku will get out," I asked.
"We're all getting out," he said, "All of us."
I had my doubts as my knees gave away and I slumped to the ground.
"Stand back," I heard a voice say. The next thing I knew there was a small ice wall around me. I could still hear everything that was going on. Time was running out. For me. For All Might. For my classmates. I thought the teacher where coming. Where was my mom? I wanted my mom.
When I opened my eyes and looked to what little I could see. Izuku, what was he doing!? He was trying to help. His legs were already broken. I wanted to close my eyes. I couldn't watch, I knew in my gut that his attempts wouldn't work. I wanted to but I couldn't look away.
The main villain reached his hand through the black purple mist of Kurogiri. Was I going to watch my best friend die?
If you're there God, please no.
The was the sound of a gunshot. And all that once my fears vanished in thin air.
I heard a voice that was straight and to the point. I couldn't see them. I didn't need to. Iida, you wonderfully, super fast, crazy bastard, you.

(Tatsuya's POV)

"Kaida. When was the last time you saw Kaida?"
"Right before we were all spit up," Iida said, "She was trying to get two of our classmates out of the way so Thirteen could use their Quirk."
Tatsuya looked at his brother.
"Go help Mom, I'll be with you soon," he said. Ryoto nodded and bolted out of the room. Tatsuya turned to the younger boy. "Are you okay?" he asked. Iida said nothing.
"My classmates," he said, "I-"
"You did everything you could to help them," Tatsuya said, "You came and got help. That's worth more than anything. Now we need to focus on getting as much help as we can."
Iida looked at him for a moment and then nodded. Just then his mother was in the doorway.
"Tatsuya Masato Raitoningu, you get your ass in motion and help us save your sister, brother, and their classmates," he yelled he nodded and followed his mother, Iida behind him.

(Kaida's POV)

Before long the ice around was melted away. And I heard voices.
"Who are you?"
"Don't worry. I'm Drakon. I'm her brother. What happened to her?"
"She was stabbed with a knife and it had some sorta poison on it. She lost a lot of blood too."
I was being picked up and carried. I curled into the strong chest that held me. I forced my eyes open.
"Tsuya?" I asked looking at my big brother.
"It's okay little dragon, you're safe now," he said.
"Izuku," I said.
"He fine, everyone's fine don't worry. Stay awake for me kiddo."
"Mom," I said, "Where's Mom?"
"She's flying overhead looking for your classmate and stray villains," he said, "Ryoto is here too, he went to the fire zone."
Tatsuya takes me outside I can hear sirens. There are the sounds of ambulances driving away.
"I need some help over here," Tatsuya calls.
"What happened?" a new voice asked.
"She was stabbed and she has poison in her system. She can't wait for Recovery Girl," my brother said.
"Bring her here," the voice says.
"You're very lucky," the voice said, "My Quirk lets me extract things like poisons. And my colleagues here can replenish blood."
They work on me and I try and stay awake. I fall asleep. I wonder if I told my dad goodbye this morning. I wake back up. I'm in and out of it. Falling in and out of sleep. The pain in my arm lessened. For a minute I close my eyes and I don't open them for a while. Then when I wake up again I don't fall asleep.
Ryoto and Tatsuya are there.
"Tsuya, Ryoto?" I asked. Their heads both snap in my direction.
"Hey, kiddo," Tatsuya said. Ryoto was on my right, Tatsuya on my left.
"How are you feeling?" Ryoto asked.
"Tired," I said, "My arm?"
"Good as new," Tatsuya told me, "When you get back to U.A. Recovery Girl's going to take care of all that's left of your cut."
"It'll scar," I said, stating the obvious.
"There are worst tragedies," Ryoto said, "You could have lost your arm."
"Izuku, is he?"
"He's back at the main campus," Ryoto said, "He's all fixed up. He just resting now."
"Where's Mom?"
"With the other teachers," Tatsuya said, "Everything's going to be okay."
I sit myself up, although it was a little hard. I winced. I was still a little dizzy. I looked at my brothers and weakly smiled.
"Thanks for saving me."
They looked at each other before hugging me tightly. I hear them sniff and Tatsuya says, "I thought we were going to lose you."
"I thought I wasn't going to have an annoying brat to deal with and call my sister anymore," Ryoto said, as his tears hit my back.
"Funny," I said, on the verge of tears myself, "That you think death will get you out of being my brother."
The both laughed and let me go. Tatsuya kissed the top of my head. I sighed.
"Can I get out of the ambulance now?" I asked.
My brothers helped me out of the back of the vehicle. The sun was blinding and I had to blink a few times to adjust. My shoulder felt stiff and I rolled it a few times I looked around before I heard
"KAIDA!"
I turn to see a good amount of my classmate rush over to me.
There were a thousand questions at once, mostly asking if my arm was okay.
"Everyone just chill!" I yelled, "I'm fine. Physically. Emotionally, I still have many, many problems."
"Are you sure you're okay?" Kirishima asked.
"Yeah," I said nodding, "It's just going to scar."
"Well that sucks," Sero said.
"Nah," I told him, "I've got tons already. You see I got them going up and down my arms here. Most of them are thanks to these two morons," I said pointing behind me.
"Oh, by the way, these are my brothers Tatsuya and Ryoto," I said. My classmates waved and so did my brothers. Soon there was a voice calling my brothers' hero names. They looked at each other and sighed.
"We got to go," Ryoto said. He ruffled up my hair and kissed my forehead.
"Later brat."
Tatsuya did the same and said, "We see you soon," he then walked away. But soon he turned around and yelled out, "Hey, because I made some terrible life choices, you're going to be an aunt now."
"Wait, what?!" I yelled at him happily. He nodded.
"Oh my gosh," I said happily, "You are not ready."
"No I am not!" he said before turning around.
I looked at my classmates. "I'm going to be an aunt now."
They all laughed a bit and Uraraka hugged me. "Okay, okay, okay," I said, "I know what happened to me, and I know what happened to you," I said pointing Kirishima, "and I know what happened to Bitchface Mcgee," I said pointing to Bakugou, "But what happened to the rest of you people?"
We all then broke up into groups and talked about what had happened to us all. Everyone seemed to be fine. It sounded like Izuku was the only other person in our class to get hurt. When I heard about Aizawa and Thirteen though. My eyes stung. I know I said I could cry when this was done but now wasn't the right time.
Not long after we're put in a group and a police officer was counting to make sure we were all here. He wore a tan hat and overcoat with white gloves.
"Eighteen, nineteen," he counted, "Everyone besides that boy who legs were all messed up, and Miss. Raitoningu, who I trust that her arm is much better, is unharmed."
"I have a feeling that result is going to be normal," I said. We broke off into groups again for a little while before the cops were ready to get us back to the main campus.
"Detective," Tsu asked hopping closer to him, "What about Mr. Aizawa?"
We all looked at him. The detective pulled out his phone and a doctor began to explain.
"The bones in his arms are splintered and he's got facial fracturing," he told us, "Luckily, there doesn't seem to be any serious brain damage. But his orbital floor had been almost completely destroyed. We have no way to know if his eyesight will be impaired when he heals up. "
"You heard the man," the policeman said.
"Not his eyes," I said. almost died, and risked his Quirk and ability to see, for us. Did he do it as his job as a hero? Or his job as our teacher? It was probably both. I felt heartbroken.
"Um, sir," Ashido asked, "What about Thirteen?"
"There's no need to worry there," he said, "Despite some pretty bad laceration to the back, Thirteen is going to put through, good as new."
We all let out a sigh of relief.
"And All Might is also without any serious injuries," he said, "he's in the nurse's office right now. Recovery Girl's power should be all he needs."
"What about Deku?" Uraraka asked.
"How's Midoriya?" asked Iida
"Is Izuku alright?" I asked.
"Ah, Recovery Girl is taking care of him too," the man said, "He's fine."
We all relax the best we can. I sit next to Iida and Kirishima on the bus ride. I lean on Iida a bit and I take the piece of cloth that held my brain together out. I sniff. I look at all of us. We're all dirty, even the kids who were left at the entrances. I'm the only one covered in blood. We're tired. We all looked just a little bit older now.
"So we fought villains," Kirishima said after a long silence.
"Yep," Jiro said.
"I never in a million years that we'd fight villains the first week of school," Karminari said.
"It wasn't so bad," I said.
"How can you say that?" Iida asked.
"Well, we're all still alive," I said. I wove the cloth in between my fingers.
"I was so relieved when the teachers came," Ashido said.
"Yeah, thanks for that class rep," Sato said.
"I was just doing my job," Iida said, "But I'm glad I was able to help."
"You should have seen your mother's face," Shoji said.
"What about it?" I asked.
"She looked livid," Sero said, "Like she was ready to kill."
"She's a mama dragon alright," I said. There was quiet.
"I thought I was going to die," I admit.
"We all did I think," Sero said.
"Yeah true," I said, "But..."
"What?" Yaoyorozu asked.
"It's nothing, it's just," I sighed, "I thought I heard my godmother's voice."
"So?" Tsu asked.
"My godmother's the hero Titania," I told them.
"Wasn't she killed seven years ago?" Ashido asked quietly.
"Yep," I said.
"I was probably the poison messing with your brain," Todoroki said looking out the window.
"Yeah, maybe."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When we get back to the school where all get out of our hero costumes and head home. I shower after all the girls have left. I need to think. I stand in the water which surprising stay warm for a long time. When the water does turn cold, I don't move. I just sit on the floor with my legs pulled to my chest. I watch as the last of the dried blood washes off of my hands.
Did I say goodbye to Dad this morning? I wondered again.
Once I'm dressed, I walk out of the locker room. Then a voice calls, "Raitoningu!"
I turn around and see Ms. Midnight, coming my way.
"Yes, ma'am?" I asked.
"You're mother and father are in Classroom 2-A. They are both wait to see in private."
I look at her and nod. walks me to the classroom. We're quiet.
"Ms. Midnight are there any kids in the second year heroes course?" I asked.
"No," she says shaking her head, "They were all expelled last year."
"Why?"
"Stay with Aizawa long enough and maybe you'll find out why," she said. We came to the door of the room.
"Here you are."
"Thank you, ma'am," I said. Midnight looked at me sympathetically. She tucked a few loose strands behind my ear and said, "Your mother was very worried about you."
"I can imagine," I said looking down. Midnight left after that. I looked at the door and the pushed it open slowly.
Mom and Dad were on the other end of the room, talking hushed voices. They're heads turn to look at me. I can't help it anymore. A river of tears rushes from my eyes as I run into their arms.
"Mommy, Daddy," I cry as I hold on to them for dear life.
"Oh my little girl," Mom sobbed.
"Are you okay?" Dad asked tears clear in his voice.
"I was so scared," I cried, "I-I didn't know where anyone was. And I thought I was going to die and, and, and…"
"Hush, baby girl," Dad said rocking me.
"We were so worried," Mom cried stroking my hair. We all stood there crying and hugging. I grabbed the front of my Dad's shirt till my knuckles turned white. I tried to bury myself into his chest.
"I'm sorry Dad," I cried.
"Honey, what on earth could you be sorry for?" he asked.
"I don't know if I said goodbye to you this morning," I cried.
"Sweetheart, that's nothing to get worked up about," he said.
"Yes, it is," I cried, "Because then I wouldn't have-"
"It's okay baby," he promised.
You might not think it that big of a deal, but to me it was. I had always said goodbye to my parents. In fear of the chances, heaven forbid, that they go to work and not come back. Once in middle school, I had gotten into a fight with my dad and I was so mad that I didn't say goodbye to him as I left for school. That day he was kidnapped by villains and they couldn't bring him home for three days. I felt so bad the minute he got home, I held on to him for dear life and didn't let go until Mom begged me for an hour.
We calmed down after a while and all just breathed. We still held onto each other. When we did let go of one and other I felt safe still. Mom wiped a few of my tears away.
"I was so scared," I said. Mom sniffed and said, "I'd be worried if you weren't."
Dad kissed the top of my head a squeezed my shoulder. After that it's talking on the phone with relatives, telling them what happened and reassuring that everything was fine. I talked to Nat for a long time.
"I was terrified," I told her.
"That's normal," she said, "When I started my internship I was horrified."
"I always knew I'd have to fight villains I just didn't think it be so soon."
"It's over now, Kai. It's going to be okay," she said.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, you and Zuzu, will be just fine," she promised. When I'm done talking to Nat I look at my parents.
"You still have to see Recovery Girl," Mom said letting off a heavy sigh.
"Well, it's a good thing I'm here then."
We all turned to see the small old women in the doorway. My mom and dad both smiled and I subconsciously reached for my shoulder. She walked over to me as I shrugged my jacket off and rolled up my sleeve. She looked at it for a moment and then tched.
"You treated it well for the time being and considering the condition," she said. She kissed the cut and a wave of exhaustion washed over me.
"I need a nap," I said yawning. Recovery Girl smiled and patted my knee.
"Usually when someone steps into my office more than once in the first the first week of attendants here, I know they are going to be rather troublesome. Your friend Izuku Midoriya, your brothers Ryoto, and Tatsuya, and your father all fit into that category," she said smile. Dad looked to the ceiling and Mom laughed.
"You two," the old women said, looking at my mom and dad, "When you two came to this school, you hated one and other. Now your both successful Pros and have four strong children."
She turned to me, "Listen to your parents dear, it will help you greatly."
I nodded and she left. I looked at my parents. "So you two really did hate each other?" I asked.
"I loathed your father," Mom said.
"I thought your mom was stuck up," Dad said.
"I was not stuck up," Mom snapped.
"I never said you where. I said I thought you were."
We all laughed. Mom looked at me. "You can go wait for Izuku with your friends outside," she said.
"What do you-?"
"Iida and Uraraka are waiting outside," she said. I looked at the doorway and them my parents.
"You go ahead Sparky," Dad said. With that, I grabbed my stuff and rushed outside.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Iida! Uraraka!" I cried, running towards them.
"Kaida," one of them said as I crashed into Iida and grabbed Uraraka arm pulling them both into a hug. Uraraka hugged me back at once and sooner or later Iida did too. I started to cry again.
"Oh don't cry Kaichan," Uraraka said, "Everything's all right now."
"I know," I sniffed, "It just, I've never had friends outside of Izuku. You guys, you're the first people, in a long time to give either of us the time of day. And with everything that's happened, I'm just glad I can say we're friends."
They were both quiet for a minute until Uraraka said, "Yeah, we're friends. Right, Iida?"
"Yes, we are."
I let them go and sniff, "I'm sorry I hugged you without warning saying anything. It's just what I do when I care about people," I said, "I also tend to punch people's shoulders. So be ready for that."
They both laughed. I wiped my eyes and sniffed again. Iida pulls out an honest to God handkerchief and gives it to me.
"I kind of feel bad for not worrying about you guys a little more," I muttered, giving the cloth back to Iida.
"Well in your defense you were dying from poison," Uraraka said.
"Still," I said.
"How is your arm?" Iida asked.
"I'm fine. Don't worry."
We were quiet for a minute or two. It was twilight. The sun was getting lower and lower. After a minute or two, I looked to my friends and said, "Hey guys?"
They looked at me, "We're going to have a few day's off of school, so I was thinking, maybe we could hang out at my house tomorrow. Or someplace. It doesn't really matter. Izuku will come and we can run around my yard like we're six, and mess around in the house and watch movies in the basement. You guys could sleep over too. Or we can do whatever you guys want."
"That sounds really fun Kaichan!" Uraraka said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'll call my parents and ask if it's okay," she cherried.
"And I'll do the same," Iida said. There was a minute or two of them talking to their parents. Uraraka parents seemed to have been super worried about her. She looked ready to cry after a minute of two for talking to them. Iida seemed to be better when talking to his mom. He talked to his brother for a minute.
When they came back over Uraraka was smiling and said, "My parents are cool with it!"
"My mother said it would be fine."
"Awesome," I smiled and then looked at my phone to see Mom said that we could do the sleepover/hang out. We all looked at each other. I sighed.
"Today's been long," I said.
"Yeah," Uraraka said, "But at least we all made it out."
"Yeah, that's true."
"So you're going to be an aunt?" Uraraka said, "That's got to be exciting."
"Yeah, it is," I said, "He's not ready."
We all laughed a little. After some more time, the sky turns dark and a few stars are beginning to peck out.
"Oh there's Leo," I said pointing up.
"Oh yeah and there's Hydra," Uraraka said.
We then took the next few minutes to name off all constellation we knew and facts about stars. Iida doesn't seem to know too many, but Uraraka and I are trying to see who know more.
"So you like stars," I said after a while.
"Yeah, kind of," she said, giggling, "My dad taught me all the constellations when I was little. It's too bad you can't see a lot of stars in the city."
"My Grandma Lillian lives in the country in the US," I said, "We got out every night to just look at stars. My Grandpa Reiden taught me the constellation. That's why I always like summer break," I told them, "I'd spend half the summer with my dad's parents and the other half at my mom's. Both of them lived in smaller towns, so more stars. It's, so beautiful."
"The way you talk about, it sure does sound like it," Iida said. There was quiet.
"Geez," I whispered, "I don't even remember the last time I looked at stars."
"Me neither," Uraraka said.
"Izuku and I would go up on my roof all the time in do it before U.A."
"Climbing on the roof is unsafe!" Iida cried doing the hand motion.
"Well, that's too bad Iida because before I die you are you to sit with me on my roof because I am crazy," I said.
"I will do no such thing!" he said, "It is a risk to your health and wellbeing to do such!"
"Okay, Mom," I said, Uraraka giggling behind me.

It's still a little while before Izuku comes out of the school. When he comes up he smiles at us. Iida and Uraraka smile too but I can't. I remember the villain reaching his hand thru the mist, ready to hurt him. I think of how I could have watched him die. My legs carry me off and I crash into him for a hug. He returns it in seconds. Tears stream down my face.
It's kind different than normal. Usually, I'm the one who holds him when he cries. But it was okay now. For the first time in hours, I was sure everyone I loved was safe.
I couldn't stop crying.
"It's okay Kaichan," he said, "Everything fine.
"I-I, know that it's just-"
"What do we remember?" he asked. I stop for a moment before crying even harder.
"You're awesome," I say.
"And?"
"So am I."
"And?"
"You love me.
"Why?"
"Because you are my best friend, and I'm yours," I cry.
"There we go," he said.
I let Izuku go after a minute. Iida gives me the handkerchief again. We walk to the station. On the ride we all fall asleep, leaning against one and other until the speaker loudly wakes us all up. Izuku and I walk to his home. My arm's slung around his shoulder. Aunt Inko's at the door.
"I was so worried," she said before hugging us both. She begging crying telling us how scared she was. Then Izuku starts crying when he tries to get her to calm down. And before I know it I'm crying too. We sit in the living room crying and hugging. My mom and dad come over soon looking for me. Aunt Inko makes tea. Dad gets take out, seeing as no one wanted to cook after today. We stay there for a couple of hours. Then we head home.
I hug Izuku and Aunt Inko one more time. When we get home the dogs greet us. Toph rubs against my leg and I pick Bosco up and hold him to my chest. I lie in bed for about five minutes before getting up and going to my parent's room. I knock on the door.
"Come in honey," Mom calls. I do and I see her and Dad sitting up in bed with Game of Thrones playing on their TV.
"Can I sleep with you?" I ask like I'm five. Mom says yes, and I crawl between them. I wrap my arms around Mom's middle and Dad kisses my temple. I falling into a dreamless sleep, feeling safe.

(Masato's POV)
Masato watched his daughter sleep. She looked calm and peaceful. The light from the TV flickered around the room, though the noise was muted.
"When did she get so big?" his wife asked.
"Whenever we blinked," he whispered not wanting to wake his daughter.
"Heaven help me," Tatsuo said, "We blinked and now we're going to be grandparents and our daughters fighting villains."
"It feels like yesterday she and Izuku where playing heroes in the backyard," he said. He was quiet.
"Are you okay?" his wife asked.
"Not really," he said, "She could have died today. Damn it any of those kids could have died today."
"I know," she said, her voice sounding like it was from a distance.
"None of those them are older than fifteen," he went on, "They still think they're invincible. They don't know yet just how awful people and the world can be."
"I know," Tatsuo said. Her hand ran through his hair and she said, "They'll learn though, just like we did."
"They shouldn't have to learn that so young, though, " he said, "We didn't fight villain until our second year. None of the boys-"
"Kaida's not the boys, Masato," Tatsuo said.
"I know that," he said, "I know she not one of the boys." he sighed heavily and closed his eyes for a minute. He thought back to this afternoon when a co-worker had told him about the attack. Not even moments later did he get a call from his wife. She was in tears, even though everything was done and over with. After a minute or two, he said.
"You want to know what the worst moments of my life is?" he said, "It's not my dad or Tia dying. It's not an of my accident or any of the times I thought I was going to lose you. Although I will admit all of those things put me through hell and I never want to go through them again. No, the worst moment is the day Tatsuya came to me and said, "Dad, I truly want to be a hero," that is the worst one."
He closed his eyes again and eat out a shaky sigh. Most fathers would be proud to have their son take after him. But this was different. His son was saying he wanted a life of hardship and pain. Being a hero was hard. It was hard to even bring oneself to the point where they could try and be a hero. Heroes did countless amounts of good in the world, and Masato loved his job, but everything came with burdens.
Masato had helped a lot of people over the years. But he can't help everyone. He has seen old classmates, co-workers, and friends all die in this line of work. Things like that did stuff to your brain. He can hardly sit in a crowded restaurant without having at least three drinks in him. His mine is constantly thinking of an escape plan in case the worst possible thing happens.
His threapist says he needs to talk about these feeling, and damn it he tries. But it hard. His wife has her own problems and he can't tell his children about the stuff that goes through his head. So that left his sister. He and Jackie would spend a good amount of time talking on the phone. No matter how much the phone bill would go.
Masato looked back at his wife, "When Tatsuya said that to me, I knew that there was no stopping it. I didn't hope that he wouldn't get in or things like that, it's just..." he stopped to look at Tatsuo. Her face simply said, I know.
"And when Hiriyur said he wanted to invent, the world's biggest bolder was lifted off my chest. But then the Sports Festival came. And he had this look in his eyes. And Ryoto, I knew the minute Ryoto was born he was going to drive my heart into the grave.
"And Kaida," he said "Kaida has tried so hard, all her life, how could I not push her? She wanted it so bad. They all did. But as a father, how-How can you just let your child go and fight the ugly things in the world?"
A tear was running down the side of his face, "An today, our baby girl faced villains. In her first week of school, with little to no training and she almost died," he sniffed, "I'm not say, she can't take care of herself. But she faces true villains. And that's not fair to her right now."
Part of him said that he was overreacting about this. That almost any kid would want to go out and fight villains as soon as they could. But he knew his daughter. He knew his children. And he knew that 15 years old him, with all the excitement, and all the willingness to charge he had at the time, would never want to be in a situation like that.
Tatsuya's first internship was with him, his first two years of attending U.A. He watched us his son learn the basic skills you needed while being a pro. He showed him the things that they weren't teaching him in school. Overall, Tatsuya seems to enjoy it all. But then there was his first real villain encounter. The father and son had been separated in a large warehouse and when he was finally able to get to his son again, it wasn't pretty.
Tatsuya's wings, hands, and feet were tied together, and there were cuts going down his arms. He son had managed to knock out two villains but the third had captured him. It was fair to say the Masato did not handle himself in the best way and the villain may have been beaten to the point where he was unrecognizable.
When he unties his son, he wrapped him in a hug as Tatsuya told about the mind kindle Quirk the villain possessed. Tatsuya basically has a nightmare, while awake.
All three of his son had a moment like this. When they realized how hard this life and job was. They knew that going into it of course, but this was the harsh sledgehammer of truth that hit them hard. The boy had a bit of time to ease into the idea. Kaida didn't.
"I know you're upset," Tatsuo said, bring him back to reality, "I am too. But Kaida is stronger than we give her credit for. Today would have been hard on any kid, but knowing her, and knowing how she has just the right amount of you in her, I think she'll be okay. Now I'm not saying, that she'll walk away with no problem, but she has us and her friends to help her get through it."
Masato looked at his wife. It seemed just a tiny bit better when she put it like that. After all, the all way he got threw anything was through the help of the people he cared about. "What would I do without you?" he asked.
"Crash and burn," she said before kissing him gently. Masato looked at his daughter again.
"I just want her to be safe," he said.
"I want that too," Tatsuo said, "And for right now, Kaida is safe."
"Yeah, for right now."
That night Masato held his wife and daughter a little closer than usual. He knew they were safe.
