(Third Opening Theme: Black Butler II Opening-Shiver Performed By GazettE)
"Quickly! This boy needs immediate medical attention!"
"My God he's still alive!"
"Prep the OR! Hurry!"
"Please, let me see my son!"
"He's my friend! You have to tell me what's going on!"
"Kaa-chan! You gotta be okay…!"
"Katsuki-kun… I'm sorry… Goodbye."
A blinding light had been the first thing he saw when he woke up; a faint ringing sound could be heard as he slowly came too.
The first thing he noticed was how he breathed. Everytime he took a breath, he could feel his chest sting. When his vision cleared he found himself staring up at the ceiling and he heard the sound of a heart monitor by him as an IV bag had been connected to his arm. He saw his chest bandaged up, as well as his shoulder and arm.
A breathing mask had been over his mouth and nose, as to help him get some air.
He let out a sigh, as he shut his eyes gently, "This feels familiar…"
"Kaa-chan?"
His eyes shot open, and turned to the source of the voice; he saw it had been Izuku occupying the bed next to him, as his wounds had been tended as well.
"Deku?" He said surprised.
He flinched slightly when he saw Izuku had started to tear up, "Kaa-chan!" He said relieved, "You're okay! Thank God!"
"STOP. JUST STOP." Katsuki said in a meanincing voice, despite his condition.
Floyd peeked from behind Izuku as he had been in the process of peeling an orange with a cast on his left arm. He said as relieved as Izuku had been, "Well that's a relief. You're dumbass is alive."
"And I'm in hell, great." Katsuki said with a deadpan expression.
Floyd's eyebrow twitched before he said with a forced smile, "Good morning to you too, Sleepy Pisshead."
Michiko had been sitting on one of the stools provided as she said with a wave, "Hey Dog, good to see ya."
"I take it back, this is worse than hell." Katsuki groaned as he sounded more displeased.
Michiko's eyes twitched before she asked "Should we have left him behind?"
Floyd slapped Michiko on the head, "ARE YOU MAD?! We can't. Besides His mom feeds me."
Katsuki gave a growl at this, before he cringed at his wounds. "You're both lucky that I'm crippled right now…" He said to them as he glared.
"Kaa-chan, you can't just say stuff like that!" Izuku said to him.
"Right back at ya!" Floyd shouted as he was gonna do the same only for his arm to twitch in pain as he groaned. It was then he noticed the cast on his arm. "Jesus, what the hell happened to you?" Katsuki said just in pure shock.
Floyd replied as his voice sounded a bit strained, "It's a bit of a long story.."
"Really Bakugou-san? Even after you almost died, you have to go at Aihara-san's throat?"
Katsuki recognized the voice as he looked across the room. He saw Chouko sitting on one of the chairs in the room, as a metal brace was around her wing. She sat with Shoto and Tenya who had been occupying the beds across from them, as well as Violet and Victor.
"You guys!?" Katsuki said shocked.
"Hey buddy!" Violet said.
"Good to see you back from the dead!" Victor added.
"You had us all worried Bakugou-kun!" Tenya said, "After that girl attacked you we thought you were-!"
Floyd finished for Tenya as he turned away from Katsuki, "well Dead. We were all worried..." He added under his breath "Myself included.."
Katsuki rolled his eyes as he said to Floyd "Nice to see that you care, Ai-." He soon sat up in alarm, "-Wait, what the hell happened!?" Immediately everyone in the room acted.
"Bakugou-san, don't do that!" Chouko exclaimed.
"Easy Kaa-chan!" Izuku said trying his best to calm him down, "You're still recovering!"
"You're gonna open up your wounds if you move around like that." Shoto told him
"Shut the hell up you two! Deku! Tell me what the hell happened!" Katsuki said to him, "Where's that bitch that did this to me!?"
"Yo chill!" Floyd shouted "We're gonna get to that in a bit. First you gotta calm down!"
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO INKHE-" Katsuki started to yell before he felt his wound act up. Izuku quickly caught him before he could fall off the bed.
"What did we tell ya?" Floyd shouted. "Now Take it easy then we'll tell you."
"I told you to shut up!" He said with a glare, before he turned to Izuku, "Deku, tell me what the hell happened!"
Michiko couldn't help but comment, "Still acts like a mutt.."
Izuku soon let out a sigh of defeat, before he helped him back onto the bed, "... We were all brought here, after the Pros rounded up the last of the Nomu's. You were rushed into surgery, and you were out cold for four days. They said it was a miracle you were able to hold out."
"And the bitch that stabbed me?" He said, "Where is she?"
"She's… Gone." Violet said as she looked to the floor, "Suzu-I mean… Akane too. They searched all night and day, but… They have no idea where they went."
"I still can't believe it…" Victor said, disheartened, "... This whole time… She was a Villain… The Virus no less. What's mom going to think…?"
Katsuki's gaze softened at the twins tone, as he could only imagine what they were going through. "About what she did…" Violet said, "... We're-Really sorry Bakugou-san."
"If we knew she and—And Akane were Villains prior-" Victor started to say, "-Then we would've-We both feel like we're at fault."
"Yeah… I mean, even though we're step-siblings, she's still our sister, you know." His twin said.
"Don't apologize." He said to them, "You weren't the ones that did this after all."
Violet and Victor couldn't help but smile; despite how harsh he sounded, his words had sounded comforting.
"Seriously though…" Chouko said, "... When they told us what happened, we couldn't believe it. It was really scary to hear you survived an ordeal like that."
"Is there more?" Katsuki soon asked, "Did anything else happened?"
The group looked uneasy, as they looked to one another. After a few moments Shoto had been the first to speak, "It's gotten really bad. Even though Stain's in prison, he's already all over social media and TV. It looks like we were right before with him being involved with the League of Villains."
"Yeah… But…" Michiko started to add, "... There's something else…"
Katsuki noticed her tone of voice had changed; he saw the look on her face as she looked to have a troubled look. "What?" He said.
"Well…" Tenya started to say, "... The newscaster talked about Reina-kun too. And… They think she's responsible for what happened in Hosu."
At this Katsuki had been put into shock; his eyes widened in shock as he paled at this newfound information. "Te-Tell me your joking." Katsuki said.
"We wish.." Floyd told him. "Even me and Michi were shocked to hear."
"It's true Kaa-chan." Izuku soon said, "They-They think Reina-chan is one of the people responsible for what happened. After she accidentally amplified her Quirk, someone outside of the radius saw what was going on."
"What are you saying?" He asked.
"We were all caught in Reina's Quirk." Shoto explained, "We only saw what was happening on the inside, but outside the camera caught view of a dome, and she had been at the center of it. It looked like those outside of it couldn't see what we were seeing."
Floyd added on, "At this point people started to point fingers at Reina."
Katsuki saw the looks on their faces, as they all looked dejected. "Don't tell me you actually believe that bullshit?"
"No of course we don't!" Izuku replied immediately, "We've known Reina-chan long enough, so there's no way she would do something like that on purpose!"
"Yeah, and even though we haven't known each other long, I know she wouldn't do something like that!" Chouko said, "I'm sure every one of our classmates think the same thing as we do."
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, though Katsuki looked somewhat unconvinced. "How does Reina feel about all of this? Did anyone talk to her?" Katsuki soon asked, causing everyone to go silent, and he seemed to have gotten his answer at that.
"I'm going to go talk to her!" He said as he attempted to stand up, only to be stopped by Izuku, "Which room is she in!?"
"She wasn't taken here, she was taken to Tardis General where Dr. Kenko is!" Izuku said, "But Kaa-chan, there's something you should-"
"Then I'll call her!" He said, "This place has a phone, doesn't it!?"
"Bakugou wait!" Shoto said, stopping him, "That's… What we're trying to tell you."
"What!?" Katsuki yelled, "What could be so important!?"
"Reina-chan…" Floyd said with a soft, sympathetic look "She's-"
Floyd had soon been cut off when they heard the door open; they saw a familiar red hair teen step inside. "Bakugou, hey!" Eijirou exclaimed, "You're finally up! Thank God!"
"Shitty Hair?!" Katsuki said, "What are you-?!"
Eijirou noticed how everyone looked, as they looked nervous about something. He seemed to have gotten the idea on what it had been. "Did… You guys tell him yet?"
"We were… Just about to." Floyd replied.
He couldn't help but notice that his tone changed again; he seemed to have lost his rage as he looked to them. "What?" He asked, "What's going on?"
"I should-" Izuku started to say, though Eijirou stopped him.
"Let me, Midoriya." He said to him, "I'd rather not have him try and hurt you if he gets angry."
At this point, Katsuki just looked even more confused as Eijirou approached him. "Hey, Bakugou…" He said, as he twiddled his thumbs, "... Well, first off, Midoriya and Aihara, told me about you and Reina, and-I'm really happy that you guys are together, but-" He took a deep breath, "I don't know… How to say this but-"
"Kirishima, did something happen to her?" Katsuki asked, "Is Reina okay?"
"See… That's the thing." Eijirou said, "After they brought her to Tardis General, I went to see her before I came here to check on you. They told me after what happened she couldn't use her Quirk."
"What!?" Katsuki exclaimed, "Do they know why?"
"They're not sure." He replied, "They just said it stopped working. When I went to visit her, something about her changed. She was almost like a different person. She wouldn't talk to me, even though I told her you were gonna be alright. But-"
"-But?" Katsuki said.
Eijirou sighed, "I don't know how else to tell you this, but… Reina's been missing… For two whole days."
Katsuki didn't reply, not even give a response, or even so much as a glare. Eijirou saw the look on his face, as his gaze softened, as did the others. "The police and other Pros, are doing everything they can to find her." Izuku said, "They'll let us know if they hear anything."
"Bakugou.." Michiko said "I know how much the miss means to you...what she means to us...but unfortunately… There was nothing we could do for her."
Katsuki still didn't reply, as his whole body became numb. He couldn't even find himself thinking as he just stayed in pure shock of the whole thing. Everyone was taken back when Katsuki suddenly stood up from the bed, after taking the heart monitor off of him and breathing mask; Taking the IV stand with him, he started to move out the door.
"Bakugou-san?" Chouko said concerned.
Floyd said as he looked as worried as Chouko had been, "Are you gonna-"
Katsuki didn't answer, as he opened the door and stepped into the hall. Izuku stood up and went to follow him while the rest had stayed in the room as they were all left worried about their friends and classmates.
Izuku went in the direction where Katsuki had gone, as he managed to reach the garden that the hospital had provided; luckily no one had been on the premises at the moment. He saw Katsuki had stopped in the middle of path provided, before he saw him collapse on his knees.
His body began to shake, and he soon heard him start to let out a series of sobs. Izuku approached him hesitantly as he was worried.
"Kaa-chan…?" He said reaching to him.
"... It happened again…" He choked, "... I lost her again… I swore that I wouldn't, I swore it would be different but… But…"
Izuku's eyes softened, as he seemed to have understood exactly what he meant, recalling what he had seen while they were still in the dome.
"She's everything to me…" He sobbed, "... I love her… I love her in a way I never thought I could… I've looked for her for so long… I waited forever for her to remember something… At least one little thing about me, but- I'm never going to see her again… I've lost her forever this time…"
Knowing that Izuku was right behind him, he turned to him, eyes filled with tears, "What the hell am I supposed to do without her now!?"
Izuku knew he couldn't answer for him, as Katsuki continued to sob loudly, at that point he didn't care who heard. At this point Izuku thought of only one thing to do for him. He reached out to him, and placed his arms around Katsuki, as he pulled him in for a hug.
"I'm sorry Kaa-chan…" Izuku said as he couldn't help but tear up too, "... I'm so sorry…"
The two of them didn't notice Floyd peeking from the doorway. His eyes softened as he watched Katsuki cry into Izuku's shoulder. He couldn't help but say to himself, "He ain't the only one… Sorry we failed you, Bakugou..."
-Wonderland Agency-
The agency may have been bought by a third party, it had always been vacant during the day time. Reina had been smart enough to know this, as she found herself returning to the once known agency in Hosu.
Despite her wounds, she was able to make her way back there with ease. Of course she had to hide her face with a face mask and her Cheshire Cat hoodie. The only set of clothes they had provided her with was her UA uniform. It would make her stand out more, though it had to do for now.
She was able to stay off the police radar for two whole days, before she made her way back to the building.
For a few moments, she stayed in the cover of the shadows, in case the police or local Pro Heroes came by. When she was certain no one was around, she ran across the street and jumped the fence with ease. She cringed slightly at her wounds, but was able to recover before she headed inside.
It had been different to see the building in the daylight; it didn't seem to be as scary as before. She followed the familiar path she had gone in, until she had gotten to a fork in the road, where the path had been blocked.
She removed her face mask and hood, revealing that her hair had still been in the shade of black, and her eyes still in the color of gold. She placed her hand on the rocky wall, feeling some of the loose debris.
"The Dolls couldn't have done this."
She took the journal out of her bag she had been carrying as she looked to the cover. "Alcina, must've worked as the staff here for, whoever owned this place. She could be the one that did this." She turned to a certain page in the journal, before looking to the rock wall again.
"... But… What in the world could they be trying to hide, that they didn't bother burning down this building?"
She soon took out her sword before she started to get some of the rock lose. She was able to make an open big enough for her to fit through. Sheathing her sword, and tossing the journal through, she crawled through the space and to the otherside, as she was able to land on her feet.
The hallway had been darkened as barely any sun leaked through the blocked windows, and she saw dust and cobwebs practically around every corner. Fixing herself up, she picked up the journal, and proceeded forward, letting the light on her phone guide her way.
She flipped through the pages to where the photos had been, seeing in on of the photos it had showed a group of people inside a meeting office, as they looked to be having a party. The wall looked to be labeled with a roadmap The door had been labeled with the number 1079.
"Where are you? Where are you?"
Most of the rooms she had passed by were either burned or caved in. She couldn't tell or make out what had been inside. She was beginning to think that the room had been the same, until she stopped when she saw a familiar set of numbers.
"Bingo."
She put the journal away before she went to pry the door open; she wasn't surprised to find that the door had been stuck. She unsheathed her sword again and broke the lock, though before she could open it, a hand had been placed on top of her own.
Reina looked and saw the boy she was so used to seeing; he gave a concerning look to her.
"Rei-chan." The Boy said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
She placed her hand on his, "... It's the only way I can find out what happened to me… To mom, to my sister… And to you… My brother."
She soon pushed the door open and stepped inside seeing the whole room had been in a complete wreck; most of the furniture were either half-burned, or in ashes. A table nearby, had been flipped over and in several pieces. She picked up pictures or what had been left of them.
"I wonder if there was some sort of fight…"
She soon looked to the wall, and found what she had been looking for. It had been a picture of a roadmap. Not just any road map, it was of the town she had been the most familiar with.
Nakagata.
Though the map looked different then it partially did in the picture provided in the journal. From the light she could see the paper had been yellow, and half of the map had been burned off. Reina looked to the photo comparing it to the map before her.
"It's not much, but it's gonna have to do."
She soon took a seat on the floor, before taking out her sketchbook. Placing her phone upward so that the light shown on the map, and thus she began to sketch it out.
The Boy with the Red Hat, sat by her side, leaning against her.
"There's still time, you know." The Boy told her, "They can still help you, if you let them."
Reina froze as she soon possessed a sad look, "... I can't. They'll just end up getting hurt because of me."
"They're your friends, your family. You don't have to do this alone."
"... Sometimes it's better to be alone… No one could get hurt."
The Boy with the Red Hat said nothing else; even though he was but a figment, he comforted Reina, as she resumed sketching what had been left of the map on the wall.
