Everyone returned home from I Island. The students immediately went about packing and preparing for their summer training camp. Ryoko and Toshinori returned to their home, the redhead immediately collapsing into their shared bed. Toshinori tried to convince her to go see Recovery Girl now that they were home, but she was asleep before he could get a word out. He couldn't say he blamed her though. The trip was exhausting for her. He himself was tired as well, sliding into their bed with her. Both still dressed in their clothes, not even bothering to change into pajamas or comfier clothing. He crawled into her arms, falling asleep almost instantly when his head laid on her chest.

Toshinori woke before her, sliding himself out of the bed, careful not to move too fast or make too much noise. She needed the rest, he wouldn't bother her. He headed down the stairs and into the kitchen, beginning to make tea for the both of them. He got distracted, his eyes staring at one of the many pictures they had hanging up. The two of them, standing on the steps of this house. It was their move in day, a day that Ryoko was beyond ecstatic for. Ever since her parents passed, all she wanted was a house of her own. Toshinori knew she wanted a home, not just a house. It meant the world to him when she asked him to move in with her, to get the house. They had been together a little over two years when it happened. He had no regrets about moving in with the singer that day. Even if their move in aided in their two month separation after three years, Toshinori had no regrets.

"You're whistling," The words are spoken around a yawn, Toshinori jumping to grab the kettle off the stove. He goes about finishing the tea as Ryoko stretches, walking over to the table to take a seat. She's rubbing at her face, elbows on the table as Toshinori brings her a mug of tea. He takes his seat across from her, smiling at her as he does.

For as long as they've shared a bed, Ryoko always followed behind Toshinori when he would leave the bed. It can take her anywhere from seconds to fifteen minutes to get up with him. She had told him once that it was more than likely due to her not wanting to be alone in the bed. He really didn't mind it at all.

He smiles as she lets out another yawn, her head dropping as she picks up her mug. They sit in silence, finishing their tea before Toshinori brings up the idea of seeing Recovery Girl. Ryoko agrees, albeit reluctantly, and the two head out to UA. They walk in, the elder woman turning in her chair to see them.

Ryoko gives a small smile, "Hey Machine," For as long as Toshinori has known Ryo, she's always called Recovery Girl "Machine." The redhead had tried to explain the meaning behind the nickname to him, but gave up halfway through when she realized he just wasn't getting it.

"Well, hello, you two. What brings you here on summer vacation?"

Immediately, Ryoko's phone started to ring. She pulled it out, reading the caller ID and answering the phone. Toshinori recognized the ringtone. It was her song King Of The Clouds, meaning her boss, Endeavor, was calling her. She begins to speak, walking passed the two to go look out the window. They watch her, Toshinori's eyes never leaving his girlfriend's back as he whispers to Recovery Girl, "She had a miscarriage."

"Oh dear," Recovery Girl sighs, her eyes staying on the redheaded woman.

"At I Island." He states, Recovery Girl now turning to look up at him. He still never turned his gaze away from Ryoko. "There were some villains and she was hit pretty badly. She didn't want to see anyone but you."

Recovery Girl shakes her head, "A reckless hero with a fear of doctors."

Finally, Toshinori's eyes turn to the school's nurse. "You can't blame her for her reason."

"She'll have to overcome it eventually." The nurse hops off of her chair, walking over to Ryoko as she hangs up her phone. She has no time to slide it back into her pocket before Recovery Girl is making her sit on the bed. "Come on now, sit!" Ryoko does as told, slightly wide eyed. "Honestly," Ryoko watches as Recovery Girl moves to stand in front of her, looking into her eyes. "You should have seen a doctor on the island." Ryoko simply shrugs before Recovery Girl makes her lie down, beginning to examine her.

What feels like hours to Toshinori and Ryoko is finally up, Recovery Girl letting them leave. Ryoko was told, since it had been a few days, that her body was still trying to recover and to take it easy. Recovery Girl told both of them to take it easy after the incident on I Island. Still, Ryoko was told to rest as much as possible, eat healthy, and drink plenty of water. She figured that would be the case, but what she wasn't so sure of was how to reclaim her body when she was sharing it with a small being the size of a raspberry.

The couple returned home, Ryoko's combat boots immediately being kicked off and left at the front door. Toshinori shed his coat, draping it over one of the dining room chairs before he headed for the kitchen. She looks over at him, noticing him pulling open varying cabinets to begin cooking.

"Can we order take out?" She asks him, standing by the couch.

He turns and smiles at her, slowly closing the cabinet doors. "Of course." She gives him a small smile back before she heads upstairs, deciding on a shower before dinner.

She had just showered that morning. Ryoko told herself that there was no need for this second shower and especially not before dinner, she hadn't done anything today. But as she stood in the shower, looking down at her legs, all she could see was the blood. She took her loofa, lathered it with body wash, and began to scrub at her thighs. She did this for what felt like an hour before she stopped. Her thighs were red, Ryoko unsure if it was from her actions or the hot water. She sighs, turning to have her body face the water. She tilts her head back, willing herself to relax.

The bathroom door opens, Ryoko jumping and turning. Through the glass of the door, she can see her boyfriend, hands up in surrender and eyes filled with apologies. "Sorry, honey, but dinner is here."

Ryoko lets out a sigh, hands coming up to run through her hair. "Alright, I'll be down in a minute." Toshinori nods before he closes the door. Rubbing her forehead, she wills herself to take a few deep breaths before she forces herself out of the shower. This was going to be a long summer.

The two enjoyed their dinner together, the news playing in the background. They weren't paying attention to it, using it mostly as filler noise. Occasionally, Ryoko or Toshinori would turn their attention to the television for a brief moment before returning to their dinner. The news changed, focusing less on current events and switching to celebrities, and the story caused both of them to turn their heads.

"I Island's I Expo just wrapped up the other day and the world is abuzz with talk about the 'it' couple, Pro Hero All Might and singer Ryoko." A picture of the two of them appeared on screen, from when they first bumped into each other on the island. "The two were not only seen at the entrance together but they also went to the industry party together as well."

The couple watches the TV screen, Ryoko's eyebrow raising. "We're the 'it' couple?" Toshinori shrugs as he eats his noodles, eyes still on the screen. The picture of the two of them, flashing finger guns, was up on the screen.

"First things first, let's talk about the singer's stunning outfit. She looked uh-mazing." Ryoko let's out a little laugh, taking a bite of her food as she watches the host talk about her outfit. "Ryoko is known for her signature style of all black everything. She is the definition of grunge." Ryoko can see Toshinori nod out of the corner of his eye. "And her runway style is no different. Only someone who writes the lyric 'nothing in the cage of my ribcage' can pull off a see through dress." Toshinori nods again, the movement larger this time.

"Second, can we just talk about how All Might is the best boyfriend? The post for their anniversary alone won the man Boyfriend of the Year." Now it was Ryoko's turn to nod. "The Number One Hero posted pictures of him and the singer with the caption 'I found my dime piece wife' the night of the party, and if that isn't goals, then I don't know what is. Where can I find myself an All Might?"

Ryoko continues to stare at the television, it going back to current events as she speaks. "What does dime piece even mean?"

"Ten out of ten," Toshinori answers. He turns his head to look at Ryoko, who is slowly turning to him, eyes narrowed.

"Bitch, I'm an eleven out of ten."

"I know." Toshinori grins wide. "But dime piece sounds better."

Ryoko sits back in her seat, her back colliding with the chair, "Fuck, I've lost my man to Insta." The man laughed.

After dinner was over and cleaned up, it was Toshinori's time to bath. He ran himself a bath, deciding to soak and relax. Ryoko walked into the bathroom, a few minutes after he was situated in the bath. She sits down beside the tub, leaning against the edge. Toshinori turns to look at Ryoko, as she extends a hand to him. She opens her fist, showing him a guitar pick.

"They were this big." Instantly, the man knows what she's talking about. His eyes move from the guitar pick to her face, her eyes still on the pick. "About five weeks. I was sharing my body with a guitar pick for five weeks and now," She clenches her fist. "I'm not."

Toshinori clasps both of his hands around her fist, bringing it up to his lips to kiss the back of her hand. "We can always get another guitar pick."

Ryoko finally looks up at him. She stares at him for a moment before she asks, "Can we get married first?"

The man grins. "Of course,"

She nods, pulling her hand from his and moving to stand up. "I am not wearing a wedding dress pregnant." Her eyes roll slightly and Toshinori laughs. She leaves him to relax. She changes and slides into bed. Within moments, she's almost out. But Toshinori's phone began to ring.

A phone call is here! A phone call is here!

She winces. She normally would laugh at his ringtone, but she couldn't find the humor in it this time around. Toshinori probably couldn't hear it in the bathroom so Ryoko, half asleep, said, "Toshi, babe, your phone." He was still in the bathroom, the phone still ringing. Right when Ryoko was beginning to get frustrated, the phone stopped. The redhead sighed, relaxing further into bed. A second later, her phone began to ring.

I pray for the wicked on the weekend! Mama can I get another amen?

She groans, using her elbow to push herself up in bed. She gave everyone, important to her, their own ringtone. Always her songs and always the song she wrote for them. From the ringtone, she could tell it was Aizawa. She grabs her phone and answers it, groggily saying hello. Ryoko pauses for a moment, listening to Eraserhead before she flies up in bed, eyes wide open.

"What?!" Toshinori came out of the bathroom, eyes immediately looking at Ryoko to make sure everything was okay.

She turns to look at him, phone pulling away from her ear slightly. "The kids were attacked."

Ryoko moved through the streets quickly. She had her black aviator sunglasses on her face as she quickly walked down to the high school. She had every intention of joining Toshinori when he went to the school for his meeting with the principal and other teachers. Ryoko knew he needed her there. She knew he felt awful because he was simply eating dinner and bathing while the kids were being attacked. She knew there was nothing he could do but he would still hold onto that burden.

The redhead wanted to be there for her boyfriend, knowing he received no sleep the night before because of Aizawa's call. Instead, she was asked by her boss to come in. So in she went, speaking to Endeavor. He could tell she had a lot on her mind, more agitated than normal. He sent her on her way fairly quickly, the redhead practically sprinting as she left.

She could see the massive swarm of media outside the main gate of UA. Ryoko continued to walk, head beginning to move down as the media turned its attention to her. She continued to walk, cameras flashing and people shouting, microphones being shoved in her face. Ryoko could see the gate was shut and she figured if she opened it with her visitor pass, some foolish media person would try and get inside.

Instead, she stops just before the gate, scaling the large brick wall and jumping over it. She couldn't wait to see that on the news tomorrow.

Ryoko found her way through the varying floors, going to the conference room. She lets herself in, the teachers and principal inside not thinking twice. She grabs a chair and pulls it up to the table, sitting in between All Might and Midnight. She slides her sunglasses to sit on her head, Present Mic sitting up more in his seat as he saw his best friend. Her eyes were puffy and red, she wore not an ounce of makeup. He knew she had been crying. He raises an eyebrow when she looks over at him. She glances over at her boyfriend before she looks back at Mic, mouthing the word 'later' before a hand runs through the ends of her hair, turning to Nezu.

"That training camp was meant to prepare students to handle villain attacks. The irony is shameful." The Principal speaks. "We knew the league would resurface but we lacked a fundamental understanding of their plans. They aim to destroy hero society and they've already started their war."

Midnight, fingers interlocked and elbows on the table, speaks, "Even if we had understood, could we really have avoided this attack?"

"Villains are crafty." Midnight turns to the redhead beside her. "There's no saying what could have been done, whether we knew about it or not." Ryoko looks around the table, eyes scanning from Midnight to Nezu as she talked, Snipe to Mic, before she looks back at Midnight. "We were partially lucky with Stain. I mean, what if he targeted a different city that night even though we suspected him to be in Hosu?"

"But they're moving pieces we didn't even know they possessed." Ryoko puts her hands up before she leans back in her chair. "Besides, All Might put an end to most organized crime. We're all rusty."

"Speak for yourself." Ryoko mutters to herself, rubbing her chin.

"We've definitely gotten complacent during peaceful times without realizing it." Mic says, fingers pointing across the table. "I guess deep down we all thought we'd be riding the sweet life for good." Ryoko can only give a shrug before her attention is pulled to her boyfriend. The man had his elbows on the table, forehead in his hands.

"I will never forgive myself for such cowardly ignorance. While our students were fighting desperately for their lives, I was just, having a relaxing soak in the bath."

Ryoko reaches over, her head turning to look at Snipe as he talked, her hand rubbing Toshinori's back. "We shouldn'ta had the Sports Festival right after the USJ attack."

"Yes, but if you guys cancelled or postponed the festival the media would have questioned how sturdy UA is as school. It was a double edged sword. Your decision would have probably affected things the same way, regardless." Ryoko's rubbing her chin, eyes locking with Snipe's as the two talked.

"We wanted to show we were still strong." Ryoko nodded and agreed with the teacher's statement. She knew what the school was aiming to do in continuing with the Festival, it being one of the reasons she went there to support them. "To have a student kidnapped is our greatest failure as teachers. They've taken Bakugo and society's faith in heroes away from us."

"I agree. Every news outlet is currently condemning UA High."

Ryoko turned to look at the Principal. "Every news outlet is at your front door."

Nezu nodded before he picked up the newspaper in front of him. "If Bakugo was one of the main targets, it's likely because the villains noticed his violent tendencies during the Sports Festival broadcast. If he ends up joining the side of the villains, that will be the end of UA as a school."

"That kid's not gonna do that." Everyone turned to the redhead. "I saw that kid at the Sports Festival and he about gave me a run for my money turning the final exams. He's got a funny way of showing it, but he's not leaving our side. I put my word on that."

"Since we're on the topic of trust and words," Ryoko turns to look at Mic, as does the other four. "There's something I think has to be voiced now. At this point, we can't deny it anymore can we? There's a traitor at this school."

Midnight and All Might were taken back by Mic's statement, Ryoko leaning forward and putting a hand up. "Whoa, whoa, Mic."

"Only the teachers and the Pussycats knew where the training camp would be." Mic's hands slam on the table as he gets out of his seat. "Don't you think that's a little suspicious? I guess a kid could have used their phone to message a villain but-"

"Stop this Mic!" Midnight says.

"What's the problem? We have to find who the leak is!"

"I'm not putting down your feelings, my problem is, that you have no solid evidence about this." Ryoko says, hands shaking as she uses them to talk.

"Could be you for all we know." Mic turns to look at Snipe. "You got any proof that you're a hundred percent innocent?"

Ryoko motions to Snipe. "Or any proof that anyone is the traitor?"

"Can we know that everyone in this room is an ally?"

Mic moves to sit down, clearly upset. Snipe continues, "If we start doubting each other, we'll destroy ourselves from the inside. Accusing a traitor isn't something we should take lightly."

"At the very least," All eyes turn to the principal. "I trust everyone sitting at this table." Ryoko smiles softly. "Though there's also no way for me to prove to all of you that I am innocent. For the moment, what we must do as a school is concentrate on guaranteeing the safety of our study body. This is a good time to implement something I've wanted to put in place for a while. You see, I-"

A phone call is here!

Ryoko jumps slightly, turning to look at All Might as he stands to silence his phone. He looks at the screen before he turns to the room. "Excuse me everyone, I have to take this." The redhead watches as All Might shuffles out of the room, Mic making a comment about silencing his phone in a meeting.

Midnight leaned over to Ryoko. "He's his own ringtone?" She simply shrugs before she looks across the table at Mic.

"I would like to take a moment to thank you, Ryoko," She turns to the principal at the sound of her name. "For joining us and helping us. It's great to have you here!"

"I appreciate you appreciating me." She says, resting her chin in her hand. "I am a little bit biased when it comes to this school though."

"Yes but to have your sharp mind helping us is a true treat! Endeavor is lucky to have you as a sidekick."

"Assistant," Ryoko says quickly, pointing her finger at Nezu who simply smiles and apologizes. She turns her head, glancing at the door before she stands, excusing herself. She peaks her head out, seeing All Might, transformed and fists clenched. She could see the smoke still hanging on his body as he hangs up his phone. "Toshi?"

The man turns, gifting his girlfriend with a smile when he sees her. She can only imagine who he was on the phone with. She walks over to him and stops before him. No words pass among the two for a moment before Ryoko holds her hands out. Palms facing upwards, she looks into All Might's eyes. A smile crosses her lips as he brings his hands up, palms open and upwards. Her hands turn over and she places them in his hands, his fingers closing around her hands.

"To the altar?" He asks, her grin growing as she looks at him.

"To the altar."

Ryoko sat with her boss in his office the next day. A lady, one of the secretaries if Ryoko could recall, entered the office. She informed Endeavor that he had a call. Ryoko took a sip of coffee from her mug, eyes looking at her boss and then to the secretary before they went back to her boss. He stood and began to cross the room to his desk, to answer the phone.

"Ryo, you have a call as well."

The redhead perks up, putting her mug down as she started to stand up. "A call for me?"

"Well, it's one call for both you and Endeavor."

"Aw," Ryoko states, following her boss to his desk. "I thought I was cool enough to get my own call."

"Who is it?" Endeavor asks.

"A Mr. Tsukauchi from the police department."

Ryoko turns to look at Endeavor, an eyebrow raised at him as he clicks a button, answering the phone and putting it on speaker. "I'm listening."

"Ryoko is there as well?"

"Miss me that much?" Ryoko grins, looking to the side, but she knew it couldn't be a good call. All Might had told her what his phone call was about. The redhead was almost expecting the call.

"We would like to request your assistance, sir. Ryoko's as well." The two heroes look at each, Ryoko beginning to grin.

"Dibs on driving."

"We've gathered some of our finest heroes here today." Naomasa spoke, smiling as he gestured to the heroes, showing them to the police officers. "Now, let's talk strategy."

The group talked and discussed how the night was planned to go. Ryoko kept glancing over at All Might the entire time Naomasa briefed the group. On one occasion, Ryoko locked eyes with All Might before she slowly leaned back, eyes drifting down to look at his backside. She could see the blush creeping across his face as he gestured with his head to Naomasa. Ryo simply gave him a wink before she turned back.

After the briefing was over, Endeavor spoke, "Why should I clean up UA's mess?"

Ryoko looked at her boss before she slowly raised her hand. "I can name a few reasons." She brings her hand down, counting on her fingers. "You used to go there, you're the Number Two Hero, it's technically your job, and your fucking son goes there."

"I'm a very busy man, as you know," Endeavor said again, clearly ignoring Ryoko, who simply rolled her eyes.

"Get off your high horse." Ryoko's eyebrows raised as she turned to her friend on the screen, Best Jeanist. "You are a UA Alum."

Naomasa turned to Endeavor. "We can't call any heroes away from the school. There is a bigger picture Endeavor."

Ryoko's fingers snap and she's pointing at Best Jeanist and the officer. "I'm taking their side." This only caused her boss to get angrier.

Naomasa now turned to face the rest of the group of in the room. "It's possible this incident is the beginning of the end for hero society. We'll stop at nothing to resolve this successfully."

"During the internships, I invited Bakugo to my agency to try and reform him."

"How'd that go?" Ryoko asks Best Jeanist, knowing full well how it went.

"I've met very few as stubborn as he is. He could even rival your stubbornness, Ryoko." The redhead grins, giving a mock bow as the hero continues. "I imagine he's fighting back."

"I know he's fighting back." Ryoko turns, arms crossing to look at both All Might and Naomasa. "I fought that kid once and saw him on TV, he's not going down easily nor without a fight."

"That's the exact reason why we need to hurry." Gang Orca approached Best Jeanist, the heroes at the second location speaking. Ryoko takes this time to turn to All Might.

"You gonna be okay, Big Cat?" He simply gives her smile and turns back to Naomasa, who had begun to speak about the plan again. His response didn't sit well with her and it caused an uneasiness in her gut. Still, she turned back to the officer.

"Retrieving Bakugo is our priority. At the same time, we'll gain control of the other hideout. This will cut off their paths of retreat. We'll arrest them all at once."

"Toshinori." All Might looked over his shoulder at his teacher. "If they're recruiting old men like me, then-"

"What are you suggesting?" All Might asks as he turns to face the elder. "You're still Gran Torino and with such staggering stakes at hand we can be sure that he is involved."

"All For One." Gran Torino spoke before he turned to look over at Ryoko, speaking with her boss. "You can't afford to act recklessly when we get out there. Someone is counting on you to return." All Might follows his teacher's gaze, eyes landing on Ryoko right as she laughs.

"We have the element of surprise. These villains will not succeed!" Naomasa spoke, turning away from the screen. "At the press conference earlier, we had Principal Nezu act clueless to deceive the villains. He feigned ignorance on camera as if we didn't have leads. After hearing his words, the villains won't expect us to rush in on the very same day. We'll retaliate! It's time for our counter attack! Remind the world what you can do heroes!"

With those words, the heroes moved out. One group went to the second location. All Might, Endeavor, and Ryoko, along with numerous police officers, headed to the location where Bakugo was being held. They all stood out in front, eyeing the building. Endeavor looked up.

"Let's get inside."
