A/N: Thank you all for the favourites, follows and reviews! I really do appreciate them all. Also, would like to say thank you to WhereStoriesBegin for letting me borrow her character Kazuhiko from her story Super Uncool for this chapter *bows profusely* Hope you all enjoy reading this!

"Be Safe Kasumi, please stay here whilst mother make the night terrors go away"

"What do they want mummy?"

"Shhhhh…I promise you one day you'll never have to hide in this closet. I'll find someone who can protect everyone…..protect you…."

"But I have mr mighty that Toshi-Kun made me mummy"

"Shhhhhh please…we'll talk later. Just Be quiet. Be Safe"

I stirred from my dream before finally waking up in such a groggy state due to last night's film indulgence with drinks included. I looked over to my right to see it was empty. It was definitely slept in but where did he go? I smiled fondly when I recalled what happened last night.

The silver age comic clock showed it to be 7:00am. My feet begrudgingly touched the cold wooden floor before trudging towards the bathroom. I took a quick detour to the guest room to grab my hand sanitiser solvents and my mouth bit – time to experience horrific pain because I've stupidly left it too long.

Lining the basin with a thick clear plastic bag, I poured in the warm water in and chucked in the solvents. Next was popping the wooden bit in between my teeth – it wasn't often I needed this, only if I hadn't kept up with the weekly ritual.

Off came the gloves which had to be chucked away. Always had a load of them on me anyways. God my hands are split awfully. I envied the other women whose hands appeared dainty and smooth…every now and then a fingernail would go missing for a few minutes before a new one grew. Although, my left hand was better to look at since the forearm got frozen and I regenerated a new one, but new scars were appearing because of my quirk.

Foul, malodorous stench was detected as soon as the gloves were off also - I'm surprised my hands hadn't become necrotic. How do Komodo dragons cope with their septic bite?

As I plunged my hands I bit down on the wood, it felt like I had put them in lava mixed with syringe needles. God did I scream through my gritted teeth and stamped my feet as if I was having a mini tantrum; the water had soon enough become a mixture of blood with a tinge of yellow/green muck. The Sweat, dripping in copious amount from my head – by the time the 20 minutes was up even my hair was drenched.

I spat the bit out.

"Fuck you hands!" Turning the bathroom air a tinge of blue. My poor mother had to do this - until her menopause kicked in but after that, it was just once a month. She said it was the best thing that ever happened to her weirdly enough! I looked around after I cleaned up and showered. An hour had past and there was still no sign of him – was he off to do hero stuff also? This early in the morning? I still was having to come to grips of how this society ticked, it's all marketed and glamorised in some ways I believe.

Some of the students will be finishing their work placements today – it'll be interesting to see how they've grown and what they've learnt from their mentors!

Finally dressed in a casual, yellow jersey dress, I flipped the T.V on.

What…the…heck? I cocked my head to one side in confusion at today's advertising.

These I could dare to say, that they are strangest things to ever appear on t.v to say the least – why is All Might running down the street in slow-mo (Baywatch style) just to advertise Ab-fab protein shakes? And they're showing him at all angles with ass shot included!?

Yikes! Is there nothing he won't do? Stop blushing dammit! It's an advert!

People buy this because of these adverts? Just exercise and eat properly at least! The next one was of a snake woman with my two students Momo and Itsuka holding hair products…..Momo looks as confused as I am now.

I'm going quiz them fundamentals I think. I'll ask how advertisement and marketing constitutes to today's hero society. I'm actually intrigued to know.

When the news did come on it was mainly about the hero killer stain still and things we had known already prior. There had been a growing cult and debates of whether or not he should be incarcerated to Tartarus – well yes, a tragic character that was failed by society to say the least, but he was misguided by his own warped ideology.

Could happen to us at any given moment.

Suddenly a blair of fanfare blasted through the T.V, making me leap out of my seat with fright. Bloody hell!

"Hi I'm Kenji Makoto and this is Marvelling News; a planetarium has finally been restored to its once former glory. Families and all have been flocking to witness the grand reopening which has been an ongoing charity movement by All Might himself who will be there sometime today….ah here he is now! All Might! A word of you please"

That was the old planetarium we'd walk past as kids

"Endor Planetarium…." I uttered in excitement. That….that cheesy, grinning wasp had spruced up that old planetarium! I've gotta go there now and see it!

I quickly locked everything up before dashing off down the road…..had to get directions though because I forgot to write it down in my excitement. I even forgot to plait my hair so it ended up looking windswept by the time I arrived. I had missed the interview but everyone was buzzing and gossiping amongst themselves.

"Miss Yakota!" I heard someone yell in the maddening crowd.

"Mina? Heyyy! You've come here too? Isn't this awesome!?" I keep forgetting that I'm a teaching assistant sometimes…..

"Yup! It's even greater what All Might and his team have been working on this in order give back to the public – most of the ticket intake is going to various charities also"

"He's going to choke on his halo at this rate…."

"Huh?"

"Nothing, nothing… .. just surprised still that heroes do this kind of thing on a daily basis"

"Of course they do, haven't you noticed the whole time you've been here Miss Yakota?"

Hmmmm….. now that you mention it, yeah, I had. Even growing up, heroes do to a certain extent, some good public deeds – excluding the usual daily heroics.

He did kept this one quiet…..I should've known though – there had been posters about it being under construction. Looks like a planetary science museum has been added onto also…..

"Who else is turning up from your class Mina? If you know that is of course..…"

The purple bundle of positivity thought for a moment as we were getting nearer to the queue. Couldn't help but look at the draped banners of All Might holding up various planets as if he was Atlas. So many connotations right there….

"I know Momo is…..Ochaco might do if she arrives back on time. Tsuyu's is more of a nature person than space…. Not sure of anyone else to be honest Miss Yakota"

"Well…. whoever arrives that we know, we'll just treat as a surprise 'kay?"

The ticket holder had overheard our conversation. He looked old enough to pass for a bearded mage in a fantasy game – even his glasses could have been mistaken for glass bottles because they were so thick!

"Excuse me miss, did you say your last name was Yakota?"

I nodded a little dubiously. "Mmhmmm, uh, could I get a ticket for one adult please?"

"Can I see some I.D please young lady?"

"What? Trust me, I'm older than 16 and unfortunately, older than 18 years old. I've been in the queue for some time now and this is the first time you've asked to see I.D"

Trying to be amicable was a lost cause on the stubborn goat so I had no choice but to show him my civilian I.D (bureau handed these out to us on our first day working for them).

The guy still struggled to see the I.D unless he switched to another pair of even thicker glasses.

Jumping Gordon Flash.

£15 down and an extra £10 for a good cause I was in! To me, this was amazing beyond belief. Astronomy, how planets and stars form, All Might on info posters in a space cadet suit…..oh come on! I face palmed in disbelief. I….I guess if it gets the kids to learn…..

There was even a vip tour with him. I think I'll pass…. I'd like to soak in the information in my own time rather than hearing hordes of people ooohing and ahhhing. Not at the exhibitions but at him. Besides, from what I could see, it was one huge entertainment parade. I did manage to speak to Thirteen for a little while, giving the fact his quirk is a black hole, I assumed he would know about these things.

"On your own Kasumi? Wasn't Mina with you just a moment ago?"

"Yeah" I laughed whilst looking at the tourist map "but she wanted to explore the sci-fi section. Her initial hero name was going to be alien queen so I expect her to be in the section about life forms on other planets"

Thirteen had his own tour to conduct soon but I enjoyed his company when we chatted about our own mundane theories of the universe. Hardly riveting to some people, but it beats debating with present mic. I would lose simply because my ears would bleed – all because it would be over favourite radio DJs.

Going into the interactive science part was like my own secret world…..with people in it….ok LOTS of people but there were quiet spots here and there though.

There's a holographic area where if you pressed the stars- you could either make them explode into a supernova. It was almost like playing god in a way. They even put in an arcade in!

"DIE, you fucking miserable Alien SHITS!" I heard the familiar maniacal laughter from the other side of where there was space cadet arcade. There, you got to wear a special glove that would shoot lasers. I took a little peek around the corner just to see who it was.

Christ, I see that Bakugo is having the time of his life becoming the next potential overlord of the universe until he got arguing with the little firecracker who was almost dragged along with him.

"You really suck at this, Katsuki – I mean…. you really, really bloody suck" her eyes ecstatically lit up in as she blew up another badass alien drone to smithereens. 200 points exploded like fireworks in bright lights.

"I'm gonna beat the snot out of your pathetic score, you tangerine side-character reject!" Bakugo jeered, his eyes, almost burning hot white with wrath.

"puh-lease! You couldn't even shoot moon rocks – and they're just part of the background!"

Ochaco soon spotted me looking puzzled on one of the moon base seats.

"Everything ok miss?"

"I've heard many things….but watching these two in the distance is making me re-evaluate social etiquette between friends. I've been observing them for almost 45 minutes and I'm still none of the wiser. Their body language doesn't match up to what their saying…..is this a normal thing?"

"Well….for Bakugo and Kazuhiko…." She took a deep breath in before exhaling in defeat. "yes….yes, it is. Did….. you ever fight with your friend Miss Yakota?"

"Oh….well …. Of course, but it was trivial compared to …. That"

I smiled warmly as I suddenly remembered.

"Have you spoken to your Deku?"

The poor girl…. I had to pull her down before she floated away again. I could tie her foot with a ribbon so she doesn't drift into the sunset. Her usual rosy cheeks now had covered her face so she now looked like a peach.

I patted her back to assure. Recalling Toshinori's advice.

"Ochaco…. it'll happen. Just need to be patient and be there when it happens. You'll be seeing him Tuesday at school. Unless for some reason you guys bundle over to mine….."

"Thank you Miss Yakota….. I'll do my best! ...and thanks for being there for me…."

Ruffling her hair, I watched her go off and find the others to explore. Their loudness and cheers made me feel proud to be their teaching assistant. I also know for a fact that she'll use my place for an excuse to bring Izuku over.

I snuck off to watch the show at the planetarium. The other room had the vip show so once again, you could almost hear All Might in the other room entertaining the guests through the thick and lightly padded walls.

This room was quiet and only a tiny group were dotted around. Leant back in the chair I was enthralled watching how the universe came to be – it was like watching an expensive cot mobile go gently round…. ever changing with new wonders of the world.

Odd….I don't hear a sound….I went to the doors to find it was locked…..it can't be closing time already 'cause I had just got here! Looking up towards the celling I could see a swirling mass forming…..what the…..? I began to try and kick the door down. Leaping leopards –talk about ensuring a fire doesn't occur! These doors are dense also!

"Kasumi…Yakota…Born 30th November XXXX to Interrogator Pestilence…We've come to collect….."

Ohhhhhh shit! Any windows?…..there isn't any…the voice was coming from the warp gate itself as it dripped down to the floor and into a humanoid-type form. I must've been followed or…..

That Old man! H-he looked at my I.D! Now I'm really mad! Stupid blooming move Kasumi! Who was he then?

"You'll collect nothing …. where's that other one…. creepy hand man?"

"oh, you don't need to worry about him – he's recovering…."

"Who said I was worried?" throwing an empty drink cup at him with no effect.

I don't want to use my ace in the hole in particular, but if I can get it through the ventilators the most the public will inhale is the smell due to the purifiers I noticed earlier out of curiosity.

"Why bother? With your skills and interrogator knowledge, the league of villains can create virial/bioorganic weapons which sensei will put to a worthy use. Think, your potent quirk can be engineered to target specific groups to drop to their knees ill" I could see he was beginning to make his way towards me with open arms – but the eyes were cold and malicious.

I ripped my gloves off.

"Like I said….You'll collect Nothing"

Septic Bacteria oozed out of my hands at an alarming rate, turning into gas as soon as it hit the air. The palms of my hands were split wide open to the bone. The greyish green purulent ooze, continued to pour out of my forearms finally stopping at the elbow. The various split from my hands travelled upwards and stopped in the same place as well. Bacterial mould began to form on the fabric chairs.

"Bacterial Overload – you warp me now and the other side will experience instant septic shock. Stay, and you'll be subjected to a sickness like no other – trust me….."

The villain paused for a moment and looked upwards to notice that the foul, deathly malodour had gone into the air ducts – sending off the alarms for mass evacuations…..meaning that the pro heroes won't be long either.

"For now, a minor setback…..we will be back Kasumi"

And like that he was gone. Thankfully the sprinklers went off after he had gone which rendered the gas useless, but it would mean that this whole place is going to need a more than deep cleaning. It was a shame because it had not long been up and I had to go and put it out of commission for a bit.

I coughed up a little bit of infection. Any longer using a stronger dosage, and I would've had a chest infection I think. The good thing is that I can recover from this…. everyone else subjected to this wouldn't have been able to recover as such. I slid down to the wet floor unsure if I should laugh or cry.

I could hear several banging on the door before they finally crashed in.

"I'm entering the room!" I could see All Might and the others wearing Bio/viral masks. I went to put my hands up to wave but my forearms just fell apart in two before plopping onto the floor. One of security guards just left and vomited somewhere.

"Careful! this room isn't entirely safe. I'll come to you…. just wait a second" I got up and stood under a sprinkler to try and wash anything that could cause a problem by touch.

"Young Miss are you ok? What happened?"

I was doing my best to be serious but seeing All Might in mask and a hazmat suit was just too weird to me.

"The league of villans came to…how they put it….'collect' – what do they think I am? Click and collect Grocery? Sorry All Might…..after all the effort you and your team did to make this a memorable day for everyone - "

I was almost crushed to death the hulking wasp in a hazmat suit bear hugging me. All you can see to tell it was him (besides his size) was those two bangs that stuck out like antennas.

"It's ok, everyone got out safe and we can repair. Let's get you to the hospital – put some fluids back into you" The last part was whispered "Head to the back where my truck is"

I nodded and made my way there with thirteen.

"I've got to report to Principal Nezu Kasumi – he'll need to inform the bureau"

"Oh god no Thirteen….." Groaning with dread at the thought of either chief Hirai or even worse….Jin gets wind of it. But I knew it had to be done it just meant that….

"Do as you must but please bear in mind of two things. One, the children can't know who I am yet and secondly….it wouldn't been bad if this hadn't happened but now…..they'll going to be showing their strength as interrogators and for that, I apologise. They can be prideful jackasses. Not all of them, but most of them"

"Understood. I believe that the principal wants to keep you here in U.A because of your combat skills as an interrogator – it can be made useful and in both ours and the student's favour if utilised properly"

"I'd like that more than anything...I would cross my fingers but I won't be able to do that till tomorrow afternoon…."

We laughed amongst ourselves until Toshinori Turned up in his now oversized hazmat suit and blankets. I was in the hospital for three hours with a quirk specific drip just to get my fluids up. Back at Toshinori's place I jumped in the shower to wash – although it was difficult to wash when all you have is stumps…with a sponge.

"why didn't you go on the VIP tour? I could have kept an eye on you!"

"And have the press buzzing? They would claim me to be a fanatic stalker or something or they could've said we were on another date and pester you further"

"I think I can handle the media Kasumi-Chan – got enough experience with them"

I stepped out into the living room in just a towel whilst he was on the sofa.

"What would you say? You couldn't say that we're going out because they'd only have to see me with you in your true form and they'd be almost having a field day"

"Not yet anyways, but just…trust me a bit more ok? I promised I would keep you safe and safe you will be"

suspicion took over me "You're going to make me an official All Might Fan club president, aren't you?" my face a blank.

Again, he laughed so hard I thought the blood was going to spill out of his nose and mouth! Knew I should've brought some blood transfusion pouches just in case…..

"Nonono Kasumi-Chan but I will need to speak to the principal also."

"Right, in the meantime I'll just continue as usual then….

I went into the spare room and jumped into my night clothes. At least tomorrow I can go back to my own apartment…..hang on…..not yet going out?Wha? I think we've taken a baby-step forward from yesterday's confession! Oh happy days!

Again, we sat on the sofa only he was reading a superhero comic and I was nestled up next to him so I could read it too – couldn't do much else otherwise. Not that I minded though!

My interrogator phone went off abruptly. Toshinori put the phone to my hear to could hold it in place with my shoulder.

"Chief! To what I owe the pleasure sir?!"

"Just thought I would let you know that due to events that have occurred in Hosu City and so forth – it was decided that we are to pay U.A a courtesy visit to ensure that the safety of the students are still top priority. It is also come to my attention that because of frequent attacks as of late, that we are implored to visit to input our training to ALL students –from first to last years. Call it ….the house of hard knocks"

Chief was beginning to sound sadistically pumped over the prospect of gaining new recruits. I began to plead to try and reason with him, but all I could hear him dither and plan.

"Chief? Sir? The staff there are more than capable of keeping the students safe! We don't need to use excessive show of force just to prove a point. We're just educating them right?...right?"

Chief Hirai spoke finally, you feel the fire raging in his voice.

"Thursday…."

"Thu-Thursday?"

He said something that make me shudder with dread before hanging up. Toshinori tried to nudge me to make me snap out of it.

"Kasumi-Chan….what did he say…..?"

"Thursday…..The interrogators of the Heathen and Heresy Division are coming to U.A…a-all 64 of them…."

Shit!

A/N Chapter 21 and we're back at U.A! Hope you enjoyed reading it!
