Last update for tonight. I hope everyone enjoys it!

The next morning, Deku woke up first. He looked down to see he was still holding hands with Shigaraki. He felt the heat in his cheeks immediately but he did sleep pretty damn awesome for once since he had been here. He pulled his fingers away slowly and sat up. He stretched as much as he could feeling things pop and crack. He scratched his head and headed for the door.

He glanced back at the sleeping villain but he was snoring away. Deku smiled, unlocked the door opened it and relocked it just in case. After the restroom, he went into the kitchen to see Aizawa and Hizashi sitting there sipping coffee. They gave him a smile which made him feel a lot better. It felt familiar like school. He could not wait to be back home.

"Did you find out anything?" he asked hoping it was mostly good news.

"I guess I can start with bad news," Aizawa said looking grim now.

"Alright, let me wake up Shigaraki."

"Ok. I can make toast and that's about it. Shouta here can cook but he's exhausted."

"I understand."

The young hero sulked some as he knocked on his bedroom door since he locked it. It only took three knocks for him to wake up. He wasn't happy, but he was awake. He moaned as he headed for the bathroom and Deku back out to the kitchen with a small plate of four pieces of toast.

"Thank you."

"No problem."

"You should eat healthier," Shouta said looking tired like he usually did.

"Sorry... Everything has been a roller coaster and Izuku was the one giving me money. I kind of don't want to go out into public now..."

"That's a fair point but even cheeseburgers or pizza would be better."

Deku nodded. He was right.

"I assume it's bad fucking news," Tomura said as he entered the kitchen.

"Not all of it."

Aizawa pulled out the paper from his pocket.

"I found All Might first. Him and Midnight are doing quite ok. They have been helping out with repairs in one of the run down neighborhoods. I did check on Recovery Girl though and she's fine. She gave me crap for not sleeping enough. Anyways... I didn't find Endeavor but I did find your mother. She had stated she hadn't seen his in some time. She said the last time she saw him was with you here," Aizawa said motioning towards Deku.

"Well, that's one important piece of the game now gone," Shigaraki said looking annoyed, "We can't count on your mom since we don't know the degree of her power."

"That's true."

"Anyways... I found Eri. It seems she was leaving the city. She was instructed that would be wise by her leader. I could not find Denki. I found Katsuki... In the hospital. Apparently he had been beaten pretty badly. That's when he delivered some bad news. Eijiro is dead. He said that him, Denki, Eijiro and Neito were ambushed by ice and fire five days ago. Everything happened so fast but he was sure... Todoroki had done it or had something to do with it. That itself is bad but it gets worse. It seems Katsuki saw Neito leave with Shouto before he blacked out."

Color drained from Deku's face. Tomura groaned out loud. He rubbed his hands against his face hating the situation more and more. It was beginning to look like the odds were severly stacked against them and they weren't making it out alive.

"Katsuki said he had noticed some strange happenings going on which led him to not wanting to be here. Izuku trusted Neito enough that even if Katsuki said anything he wouldn't believe him. I guess he tried to warn others but no one was having it and everyone kept you two out of the loop because none of them trusted you other than Katsuki."

That left a small smile on Deku's face.

"Shinsou has been going in and out of a gray house. It seems he's trying to hide himself but that purple hair is still noticeable."

Shigaraki leaned back.

"It's time to make a move. It seems he's been knocking out our pieces without us seeing it and no one trusts us so we can't trust them either."

"It wasn't supposed to be like this!" Deku said feeling more and more upset by the second, "We were brought here to help and they don't trust us? How the hell is that fair?"

Eraserhead and Present Mic glanced at each other before trying to look somewhere else.

"It's because I'm a villain. I'm not a vigilante or a hero. I'm the bad guy they suckered into helping their stupid asses because they refused to send me back."

Oh, Deku thought.

"Eri is the only one that seemed to like me at all. Izuku just wanted me to murder Todoroki."

"I'm sorry for that," Present Mic said, "Honestly they should have trusted you both more. Even if you helped for selfish reasons it was help they were getting anyways."

"What do we now?"

"We need to kill Rei as the first step," Shigaraki said, "Then murder that fuck face next. Lastly, go home."

Going home... it made his heart clench.

Izuku slept in the guest room that night but it really wasn't sleeping. Every time the bedroom door opened, he went ridged. He expected Shouto to lay by or something perhaps even worse but he never did. In the times he woke up through out the night, he heard arguing but he couldn't make out the second voice. It sounded low... scared.

I won't ask him about it. I just don't care. I don't care.

His brain flipped over to Eri. The pain on her face. It was clear as day and he just ignored her. Ignored everybody. Ignored the two people whose lives he uprooted from a whole other dimension... almost had them killed a few times.

I wonder if she made it out of the city. I feel so horrible. I hope Izuku can forgive me. I don't think Tomura would. If he doesn't hit me, it will be a miracle.

WHAM

He jumped in his bed. Izuku got out of bed quickly. He crept to the door and pulled it open. Surprisingly, it was unlocked.

Just go out there. He told you you were free to roam the house.

Izuku came down the hallway to see Shouto standing in the living room. He looked pissed off.

"Is everything ok?" he asked quietly.

Shouto head jerked to the side. He looked conflicted. The expression almost made him look innocent. He looked shamed or gulity or both.

"I had a discussion with my associate about the aging problem you told me about. It seems there may not be a solution to it since it's attached itself to the DNA of your quirk or something like that. I didn't quite understand it myself."

Izuku looked down at the floor. So... there was no fixing it.

"In reality... It was supposed to suppress your quirk or delay it from becoming too powerful."

"So... I'm going to die of old age in about two years or kill millions because of it?"

"I think... so."

"Ok."

"I have arranged for Eri to be picked up."

Izuku glared at him, "You promised they would all be ok! That you would leave them alone! It's not her job to save me!"

"It wasn't but it is now. If you try to argue with me about it, I'll punish you and hurt your friend."

He swallowed hard.

No. No... I didn't... I just... Fuck

"You will have to do something else for me."

Izuku stared at him as he blinked away his thoughts.

"You will have to break up with your boyfriend," he said looking more amused now, "I think it would be best to let him know before we take things any further."

"You're... You're kidding me?"

"Nope. I want him to know we're serious. I am sure he'll have an outburst. He was always the emotional kind anyways."

Suddenly he just felt sick to his stomach.

"Can I take a bath?" Izuku asked.

"Of course. My room doesn't have a bath tub so you will be stuck using the general bathroom. If you need anything like me know."

Izuku went into the guest and pulled out a plain white shirt and blue jeans. It wasn't something he would normally wear but he was smaller now than he was. Eri really out did herself. He didn't realize the effects of her quirk were going to last a long time... He still felt weird from it.

He made the water as hot as he could stand it and slipped into it. It didn't make him feel any better. He was going to die if they didn't find Eri and he didn't want them too. His last few years on Earth and he was going to spend it with someone he hated.

Tenko ran out of his classroom with the teacher yelling at him to slow down. He couldn't slow down- bad things were happening and something was happening to his boyfriend. They promised to help him but it was obvious they knew something. Deku knew something and he couldn't hide the guilt or shame of it. The villain was a little better at hiding it but for him to be rattled like that... It worried him a lot.

It has to be god awful if he's acting weird about it. I wonder if there is anything in that house that might be clues to where everyone is at or what they're doing. I haven't even see Eri. She usually hangs out there the most but...

He sighed as he walked out of the front of UA.

I have been so busy with school and all those tests that came up... I had stopped hanging out with everyone. I better head back to the house. I don't think Izuku would've went to Recovery Girl again. There's nothing she can do.

His ruby colored eyes watered up some. The two of them were too young to get married... but if that would make Izuku's life a little happier than he would do it. It was stupid and impulsive but he bought a ring after he left their hideout. It was nothing special... Just a black metal ring since Izuku loved wearing black.

It will suck but I want the few years he has to be happy and fulfilled.

He made it past the park when he saw that messy green hair he loved seeing so much. Izuku was standing there... but it looked like he shrunk a lot... Was it Deku instead? He was dressed unusual even for both of them...

"Izuku?" he asked.

He looked up from the ground. There was pain in his eyes and it looked like he had been crying.

"What... what happened?" Tenko asked reaching out to him but Izuku jerked away.

"Don't alright!" he snapped.

Tenko dropped his gloved hand.

"Did Recovery Girl give you more bad news?" he asked feeling lost.

"N-no."

"Oh... Well there something I wanted to ask you... It's stupid maybe but I feel like it's right..."

Izuku just stared at him. He looked so young.

"I feel like you're Izuku but did you shrink a little?" Tenko asked.

"Eri... she reversed it. For the time being anyways."

"Izuku," he said, reaching into his pocket but he stopped when he saw Shouto coming out from behind a tree.

Something about Izuku changed quickly. He stiffened up like he was scared or tense. Tenko frowned. He didn't like Shouto because of his mom and what she had done but since he was taking the hero courses he must've had a change of heart so he never gave him any shit like everyone else did.

"What are you doing here? I thought you were sick?" Tenko asked staring at fire-ice user.

"I have been under some distress but most of it has been elevated."

"Ok..."

"Izuku... let's go-

"I can't. I won't."

Something isn't right. What's going on here?

Tenko felt sick and uneasy. Something was wrong. Very wrong...

"I don't want... I don't want to be with you anymore."

The last words he ever expected to hear in his whole life. It was as if the world started to melt away and he gained tunnel vision just seeing Izuku. He didn't want to look at him.

"Wh-why?" he managed to get out.

He couldn't feel it but the gloves on his hands started to fall part slowly.

"I can't... I don't want to be with you. Because... Because I..."

"He's with me now," Shouto said with a devious grin on his face, "I bet you're so shocked huh? Didn't you think it was weird I kept asking about him? You were too dense to figure it all out."

Tenko just saw red as his gloves fell into ash piles on the ground. All common sense left him and he charged at Shouto in blinding fury. Izuku shoved him out of the way and blasted wind at Tenko to blow him back from killing him.

"Stop it! You're not like that!" he yelled.

He looked down to see some of his shirt and pants were crinkling and turning to ash. He knew Tenko had a twenty foot radius where his quirk could affect his surrounding but they were much further away... He didn't expect him to lose it like this. He was always so mellow and understanding.

"Tenko stop!" Izuku screamed but it fell on deaf ears.

"Guys."

Deku stopped and pressed his ear bud.

"What is it Aizawa sensei?"

"Something is wrong. About a miles from UA there's reports of a disturbance. Hizashi is on it but he hasn't gotten back with me yet."

"What kind of disturbance?" Tomura asked.

"If it's that close to the school... I would have to say it may be UA students. I can't be that close to there myself."

"You think it might be Shouto?" Deku asked.

"More than likely."

Shigaraki frowned as they turned around.

Something feels off. I don't like it.

"We need to get there..." he said aloud.

The two of them caught a bus to make the distance go by faster. He noticed Shigaraki seemed a little fidgety. He didn't want to question him since they were both tense but it was odd. Tomura was the type to not allow things get the better of him... but he even seemed more on edge. This whole world had him feeling weird himself. He had been anxious too...

He was pulled out of his thoughts when the bus slowed down and things started to shake.

"Let me off!" Tomura yelled.

Deku jumped up behind him, walking through the aisle.

"It's dangerous-" the bus driver started but he saw the dirty look Tomura gave him.

He opened the bus door and the two of them saw the ground sinking in places and looked wet with scorch marks.

There's ash everywhere... Deku thought as they continued running towards the source.

"Stop!" Shigaraki yelled throwing his arm out almost clothes lining him.

"Shit, what?!" Deku yelled.

He was rattled. He felt scared and yet the fear didn't feel like his own.

"Stay."

"But-

"You'll die."

Shigaraki took off. It only took a few seconds through the falling ash to see Tenko losing control and Shouto was attacking him.

Fuck.

A wave of ice went flying at Tenko but water was thrown at the ground and vapor was rising. He was gray from all the ash surrounding them and his eyes looked dark like he lost himself. Shouto's cool asshole demeanor was gone. He looked exhausted and slightly worried... like he was scared. He threw out another wave of ice then fire but it turned into nothing but ash.

Shigaraki looked down at his clothes. Little holes were starting to appear on them from Tenko's quirk but his skin looked untouched by it.

Good enough.

He charged in at Tenko feeling his clothes starting to fall apart.

Almost there-

It felt like the air was gone around the angry teen. It was like he couldn't breathe. Ice came barreling towards him but he threw up his hand and it was gone in a second. Shouto's face showed shock then it quickly turned to fear. Shigarki was almost there- almost.

A blast of wind hit them both giving them air. Shigaraki took in a deep breath and tackled Tenko to the ground.

Everything around them stopped crumbling at an alarming rate. Tomura looked up in time to see Shouto snatched Izuku's hand and pull him. Izuku looked upset like he had been crying. They were gone as quickly as he saw them with ash still floating around them. He looked down seeing Tenko was out of it. There was no blood so maybe he just knocked out from the exhaustion.

He picked him up, threw him over his shoulder and took off in the direction where Deku was.

"What-

Shigaraki held up a pinky and grabbed Deku's hand. He jerked him forward until both of them were running at a steady pace.

Fuck.
