"Urgh…" Haneul huffs placing her paperwork down upon the bench, her brow furrowed. She sighs softly slumped against her seat catching the attention of a certain hero across from her talking to their boss, the two of them once on their phones now focused on her.

"What's with you?" Bluntly, Bombarda queries.

"My dance coach isn't helping me." Miserably, Haneul sighs sadly stretching her aching limbs.

"You have a dance coach?" Confused, Soundspark says.

"Look I made a resolution last year to learn ballroom dancing." Drained, Haneul combs her fingertip through her hair ruffling her locks briefly by the murky memory.

"Wait you actually went through with a resolution?" Amused, Soundspark snickers.

"Of course don't you two?" Haneul furrows her brow befuddled by the two.

"Well I say I do but I don't. It's like the whole diet thing you know?" Aloofly, Soundspark waves his arms about at the memory.

"I just don't." Deadpanned, Katsumi answers.

"Anyway I always wanted to learn how to ballroom dance but my instructor literally to my face said I'm unteachable." Upset, Haneul furrows her brow at the memory slumped over her desk.

"What do you mean unteachable?" Alarmed, Soundspark scowls.

"I know right? They gave me a refund and everything! I've studied all the moves for it but…" Saddened, Haneul huffs before trailing off.

"Wait…you studied?" Surprised, Soundspark raises a brow sharing a look with Katsumi.

"Of course." Confidently, Haneul smiles softly proud almost as the other two stare worriedly at the girl who had read a whole bookcase on dance from its cultural significance to the moves needed to perform said routine.

"Han you don't just study dancing…" Deadpanned, Katsumi exclaims.

"Isn't dance a degree though?" Innocently, Haneul argues astonished.

"Well yeah but it's more about the rhythm, the endurance, the physical aspect than the mental." Kane responds gesturing with his hand about the place once more, it was a hard degree to get it took a lot of drive, focus and physical endurance…not to mention the likely hood of going anywhere with said degree was unlikely.

"It is?" Haneul suddenly shoots out of her chair.

"Why don't you let me train you!?" Smiling, Kane points to himself.

"You?" Haneul arches a brow warily.

"Course! I'm pretty good at dancing myself, I know the tango, the waltz, a little of tap…" Giddily, said boy goes around his desk, doing a bit of each dance taking Han aback while Katsumi simply stares, not even batting an eye to the level of dance Kane is capable of.

"You name it he knows it." Honestly, Katsumi gives Kane that.

"See Kat agrees!" Animated, Kane points to Katsumi, placing his visor upon his head once more.

"I don't know…" Unsure, Haneul crosses her arms over her chest conflicted.

"Come on it'll be fun!" Soundspark argues as he quirks his head to the side batting his eyelashes at her.

"Alright…" Haneul sighs shyly smiling at Soundspark's puppy dog face, a face she couldn't say no to.

"Well with that sorted I'm outta here." Katsumi pushes herself from Kane's desk chair turning to leave after checking the time on her phone.

"Going to go see Eri again?" Curious, Kane queries.

"Yep. See you." Katsumi waves her hand to them turning to the elevator as it opens.

"Give her our regards." Haneul calls out.

"I will." Katsumi enters the elevator descending down going to go meet Eri.

"B-Bombi!" Eri perks up at the sheer sight of Katsumi.

"Hey Eri how you doing?" Gently, Katsumi softly slides her bag off her arm, placing the bag down.

"I've been better." Eri bows her head.

"Oh yeah? Maybe this will cheer you up come on." Smiling, Katsumi helps her down.

"W-Where are we going?" Eri raises a brow looking up at her as she takes out some clothes from her bag.

"Shopping, how about it?" She kneels down helping her change, the doctors had decided it best to push her into it, she had asked and they had agreed her training had been going okay so far sure they had been some ups and downs with her crying and Katsumi comforting the terrified child but the group of adults thought it best to treat her, as a reward for her training.

"You…you won't leave me alone?" Shyly, Eri clings to her after changing her in casual clothes.

"I promise." She nods her head in understanding.

"O-Okay!" Eri nods her head taking her hand as the two leave the hospital heading to the shopping centre…

"All right, I'm here! Now whose ready to dance!?" Kane boisterously bellows posing before the furrowed frown of Haneul.

"Let's just get this over with." Haneul huffs snatching his hand in hers.

"Now come on you think we need this attitude?" Amused, Kane dips Haneul making her gasp taken aback as he quickly pulls her back, steadying her.

"Fine just follow my lead." Kane smirks taking out the small remote turning on the radio.

"Y-You are?" Astonished, Haneul takes a shy step back, a faint feverish tint to her crimson cheeks.

"Yes. Look come on, eh, just ah, just ah, put your arms around me, eh." Kane smiles softly at Haneul as he puts his arm around Haneul smiling and they both start dancing. Surprised, Soundspark's baby blues widen when suddenly Haneul tries to spin Kane, managing to take the lead much to Soundspark's shock as she ends up throwing him into the door.

"Ahhhh! I'm sorry!" Horrified, Haneul holds her cheeks gasping at the fallen figure.

"I-It's fine!" Feebly, Soundspark smiles strained, shakily standing.

"Ahh, forget it! I'll never be any good at this, my teacher was right! I'm unteachable!" Horrified, Haneul wraps her arms around her chest pained.

"Come on Han, you're not unteachable! Have you seen the moves you pull out during your martial arts if you can do that why can't you do this?" Softly, Soundspark smiles placing his hand on her shoulder.

"Because this isn't fighting." Frowning, Haneul states the fact firmly.

"But it is." Smiling, Soundspark steps forward.

"It is? I mean I suppose it helps with endurance but…" Logically, Haneul considers calmly but she fretfully furrows her brow.

"Look you just need more practice. I've seen how capable you are with your fighting style you can do this I know you can. Here, come on, let's ahh, let's try it again. Come on." Softly, Soundspark smiles taking her hand.

"Okay I guess…" Haneul bows her head, a faint feverish tint to her crimson cheeks as Haneul holds Kane and…

"Ah!" Kane cries out, a girlish scream escaping his lips from the stern stomp to her foot.

"Sorry." Shyly, Haneul places her hand over her mouth mortified.

"It's fine. Plus, it was, it was probably mostly my fault, anyway. I mean, y'know, I'm not really that comfortable dancing with a—We-he! Hey!" Happily, Soundspark smiles strained from the sharp stamp below but soon falters from Haneul taking control once more and tossing him back again.

"I did it! I threw you!" Horrified, Haneul gasps.

"That you dideeeeeeeh!" Kane smiles grimacing, readying himself for what was to come with teaching Haneul…

"You okay Eri?" Gently, Katsumi asks as she holds the girl's hand squeezing softly it as she adjusts her coal-black oval lenses, wearing a ruby red and black wear flannel exposing a black corset crop top wearing matching bangles and a black ring with other accessories wearing blue distressed jeans and black boots with ruby red laces.

"Y-Yeah…it's so busy." Eri whispers worriedly holding her hand, eyeing the people all over the shopping centre.

"Just stay close to me okay?" Softly, Katsumi whispers to Eri.

"O-Okay." The girl clings to Katsumi's side wearing a white dress shirt with a frilled collar and a plain red pinafore with two large, golden buttons on either side of her chest. Under this, she wears gray tights and a large set of tan boots, and a small dark red messenger bag with the strap sitting over her right shoulder, and a little floral pattern decorating one of its sides.

"Do you want any sweets Eri?" Softly, she asks seeing said girl eye the window of the sweet shop.

"Can I have some apple sweets?" Eri queries hopeful.

"Sure. After that we can…" Bombarda begins as Eri simply stares in awe at the woman above her.

"Pretty…Internally, Eri couldn't help but think of the model holding her hand guiding her into the store, buying some sweets for her when the two leave said shop, Eri is enjoying the apple flavoured lollipop in her hand happy.

"Isn't that Bombarda!?" Eri perks up at the voices turning to see a crowd crowding around one another eyeing the two.

"Is she…with a kid!?" Another adds as Eri flinches from it.

"Bombarda doesn't like kids…" Eri flinches from the fierce flash of the camera.

"You don't think…that's her kid!?" Shyly, Eri leans further into Katsumi's side.

"No way! Then again she has been shown to be pretty close to Fatgum!" Eri's grip tightens around Bombarda's hand.

"Hawks too! Slut…" Eri flinches from the voice.

"Whore…" Eri slams her eyes shut from another voice.

"Not to mention look at that stub on that people bet it was a mutant she shacked up with!" Eri's other hand slowly slides over to her horn beginning to glow glisten briefly.

"Yeah she seems to have a thing for them!" A snobbish voice exclaims.

"She thinks she can have any man she wants!" Angrily another voice remarks.

"Yeah but that girl has white hair maybe it's someone else. I mean the girl has red eyes just like her…" Another flash fierce hits Eri grimacing.

"Eri what's wrong?" Gently, Bombarda whispers looking down at the girl below brow furrowed alarmed at the sight of her horn.

"P-People…t-too much…" Miserably, Eri whimpers weakly curling in on her as Katsumi notes the crowd forming furiously glare, glower at the crowd quickly disappearing fleeing frightened from her.

"Come on sweetie let's go outside yeah?" Gently, Katsumi picks up the girl, holding her close.

"O-Okay." Eri bows her head into the crook of her neck, nuzzling into the side of her neck as Katsumi takes her to the park, placing her down on the bench by her side.

"Now breath in and out." Softly, Katsumi raises her fingers to four breathing in deeply as Eri breathes in before lowering her fingertips, breathing out alongside Eri.

"You okay?" Katsumi asks Eri after a moment of composing herself.

Shyly, said girl nods her head.

"…Do you want to go play in the sandbox?" Katsumi asks as she points to the sandbox before her, not many kids were around ad her horn had calmed down its stub still standing but not a horn no longer.

Shyly, said girl shakes her head, cuddling into her side.

"Eri…sorry if those people scared you." Katsumi apologises to her.

"They were saying mean things about you." Eri whimpers weakly sniffling slightly.

"Hm?" Humming, Katsumi raises a brow by the girl's tears swiftly staining her clothes.

"They…they used words I heard the men back there call you." Eri whimpers weakly her grip tightening on Bombarda.

"Eri…" Bombarda brings the girl close to her.

"You're not like that why do people have to be mean to you?" Eri questions shyly wrapping her arm around Bombarda's arm.

"Because sometimes people just are but that doesn't mean everyone is like there, there are kind people out there in the world just as there are cruel people…people can say what they want but I don't care and neither should you. You're better than that." Tentatively, she attempts to explain to Eri brushing a stray strand of white behind her ear.

"Bu-But they're wrong!" Eri argues anxious leaning forward grabbing hold of her shirt.

"It isn't worth getting angry about it now how about we go back to the hospital?" Gently, she asks Eri.

"C-Can we stay for one more hour?" Hopeful, Eri asks staring down at her legs swinging back and forth.

"…Alright. Only if you go and play." Playfully, Bombarda orders as Eri nods her head rushing over to play as Katsumi watches on, glad to see said girl play to her hearts content, acting her age for once.

"So you ah, ready for our last practice?" Soundspark smiles as he approaches Haneul.

"What about the spin?" Worriedly, Firefly frets furrowing her brow at the thought.

"Y'know, I think the reason we're not getting that spin right is because my apartment's too small." Soundspark confesses hands on his hips.

"You think we should use my place?" Perplexed, Firefly offers.

"No, I ahh, had another idea." Soundspark smirks shyly taking Firefly's hand guiding her away unaware of the workers watching on smirking slightly as Kane winks at Ed nodding his head in understanding.

"Wha…what is this?" Flabbergasted, Firefly stares shocked at the candles littered about the place, seeing the flimsy flicker of candlelight surrounding the room, hearing the soft sound of music in the background.

"Well…I-I wanted to get the atmosphere right so fairy lights! Tadah!" Shyly, Soundspark smiles stretching his arms out gesturing to the candlelit room.

"It's beautiful." In awe, Haneul takes a shy step forward furrowing her brow by it.

"You think so?" Shyly, Soundspark asks almost hopeful.

"I know so." Smiling, Haneul nods her head at him.

"So…shall we?" Smirking, Soundspark offers his hand out to her.

"O-Okay." Blushing, Firefly shyly slides her hand into his.

"I just have one question." Soundspark smirks as he brings her close.

"W-What is it?" Blushing, Firefly whispers, a heavy hue of ruby red dusting her crimson cheeks.

"Do you trust me?" Soundspark asks.

"…Yes." Haneul whispers as she jump towards him, her hues widening when wrapping his arms around her, holding her after catching her. Baby blue meet giddy grin as their temples touch feeling their heated skin meet one another smiling shyly at each other.

"We did it!" Kane cheers joyous oblivious to the woman he holds as he drops her.

"…Yeah we did." Pained, Firefly groans grimacing glaring up at the boy dancing around the area happily in his own little world while the other glares at his happy dance.

"I know, we did it! Hey, that was incredible, huh?! I know, it was amazing! I mean, we totally nailed it, it was beautiful!" Beaming, Soundspark springs up and down all over the place dancing joyous at their feat.

"Y-Yeah…" Shakily, Firefly sighs holding her behind.

"You okay?" Kane asks brow furrowed from her shy stutter.

"Y-Yeah, thank you, listen, thanks a lot Kane, I suppose you're not the idiot we all think you are." Amused, Firefly attempts to joke but...

"You…you guys think I'm an idiot." Kane freezes from her words brow furrowed gently turning to her.

"Not like that...I mean…" Firefly attempts to explain but…

"Oh no I get it. Oh my God, look at the time, I gotta go…" Kane fed up raises his hands up in the air angry.

"Kane! Hey how about one more practice? Why not? Why don't we practice the Foxtrot again? Or-or the Tango?" Firefly tries to follow him however…

"No I'm too much of an idiot to know what I'm doing!" Soundspark huffs turning on his heel storming off.

"Kane!" Firefly sighs stopping in her tracks turning to see said boy long gone as she simply sighs not quite sure what just happened….

"She asked for you…" Aizawa turns his hues to Bombarda entering the hospital hallway coming for another visit for Eri after Aizawa had phoned her.

"For me?" Meekly, Katsumi releases a small yawn.

"Yeah…" Aizawa nods his head seeing her rub at her eyes.

"Right." Sheepishly, she whispers rubbing her eyes with the back of her hand.

"Bombi!" The two perk up at Eri's voice.

"Hey Eri what's up?" Softly, she smiles turning to the girl.

"…I-I'm sorry." Shyly, said girl bows before Katsumi on the bed.

"Sorry? What on earth do you have to apologise for?" Frowning, Katsumi quirks her head to the side lost.

"It-It's thanks to me that we didn't get to go shopping." Saddened, Eri bows her head.

"Of course it's not it just got a bit much and that's okay, it was a big step for you besides you still got your sweet didn't you?" Softly, she smiles kneeling down next to the girl's side.

"…So you're not mad?" Hopeful, Eri asks as Katsumi sits down on the bed joining her side.

"Of course not." Softly, she places her hand on Eri's head.

"D…Do you think we could go again?" Hopeful, she asks staring softly down at her fidgeting fingertips.

"Shopping you mean…" Katsumi catches on.

"Y-Yeah!" Eri nods her head.

"I'll have to talk to your doctor about it though…" Tentatively, Katsumi sighs looking over at Aizawa watching on.

"P-Please!" Pleadingly, Eri begs.

"Alright I'll see what I can do. Tell you what my friend Han brought this book for me to give you…" Katsumi takes out a manga from her bag as Eri shuffles shyly over to her side, in her lap, ready to begin the story…

"Ed why do you not believe that ghosts are real?" Curious, Kane asks as he sits in his seat pushing himself off his desk his wrist aching as he spins in his seat bored by the paperwork before him, huffing, grumbling as he turns to Ed tending to their own work.

"Never seen one." Ed simply shrugs.

"Okay, I mean, there's a lot of things that you can't see that are real." Fairly, Ed points out.

"What can't I see?" Scowling, Ed challenges Kane.

"You can't see gravity. That's real." Soundspark smirks slightly.

"Yeah, I can drop an apple." Ed deadpans.

"But what if I told you this dog had the dead spirit of my mother?" Smirking, Soundspark shows said dog to Ed, the dog's nails perky purple a similar shade to his own nails.

"…Didn't the boss tell you, you weren't allowed to bring your dog in…" Confused, Ed eyes the puppy.

"Yeah well she isn't here." Soundspark smirks slightly.

"Isn't your mother's alive…?" Ed throws in.

"I mean grandmother…" Quickly, Soundspark corrects himself.

"Well from that correction alone speaks volumes of the bullshit you're spewing." Ed deadpans.

"You know what I don't have to take this! I'm outta here!" Ed huffs hands up in the air storming off.

"So…she wants to go shopping…" Casually, Katsumi tells Aizawa as the two stand beside the coffee vending machine while Eri is having another check-up.

"Seems so but the doc said with the way she was last time it would be wise to bring you." Aizawa answers.

"…" Silently, ruby red stare into pitch black.

"So bandages?" Bombarda asks.

"Do I have a choice?" Tiredly, Aizawa exhales exhausted.

"Do you want to break a traumatized child's heart?" Smirking, Katsumi asks.

"You're not giving me a choice here are you?" Aizawa grumbles slouching his shoulders.

"Look at you catching on." Bombarda places her hands on her hips.

"Hey, Ed…" Soundspark hollers, his body draped over the seat lying flat on it with Sparky srpaleed out on his stomach, on the spinning chair, using his legs to swirl around the office.

"…" Focused, Ed firmly focuses on Haneul's work as the woman herself focuses on training below.

"Ed." Kane calls out the dog small quips of a bark joining.

"…" Silently, Ed continues working.

"EEEEEDDDDD." Together, both owner and dog chorus whining whimpering weakly.

"WHAT!?" Enraged, Ed snaps scowling at Kane.

"Wanna see my wall of inspirational people?" Smiling, Soundspark shows a book of a collage with mainly plastered pictures of Sparky, some of the two getting their hair dyed together, something Ed didn't think was possible while another showed the two with cucumbers on their eyes.

"Is that a picture of you?" Ed eyes the picture.

"Yes, I am big enough to admit that I am often inspired by myself also self-love is just as important." Smiling, Soundspark argues.

"I think this is more than self-love…" Ed sweat drops.

"I don't need this negativity Ed who would you have on your board?" Kane asks Ed.

"…All Might?" Ed shrugs sheepish.

"Urgh you're so mainstream come on think a little…" Kane shrugs his shoulders.

"Whose yours?" Ed asks him.

"His purple highness of course! He has the flair and oomph for life!" Smiling, Soundspark poses proudly.

"…Is that guy still alive? Look Kane I get it you're sad, stressed even due to the boss being busy and her attack not to mention not hanging out with Firefly and the boss, not being able to make videos hasn't helped either and this boredom has led you to do questionable things." Tiredly, Ed sighs softly seeing his friend's struggle alongside a fair few workers around the agency.

"So you do think I'm stupid!" Sniffling, Soundspark scowls.

"I never said…" Sighing, Ed begins but…

"I'm outta here I don't need to take this." Soundspark raises his hands up in the air angry storming off.

"And there he goes…again." Ed sighs softly sweat dropping at the moron leaving Ed to pick up his paperwork too while Haneul trains the recruit below.

Casually, Katsumi, Aizawa and Eri wader around the clothes shop, Aizawa peering in, keeping an eye on Eri holding the hand of Bombarda noting the crowd swarming around the shop seeing some workers attempt to talk to the two but Bombarda easily dismisses them.

"Isn't that…Eraserhead?" One of the workers behind the register eyes the ponytailed raven-haired male.

"With Bombarda?" Another adds taking out their phone firmly flashing him with her phone.

"And there's that kid again you don't think…" Eri flinches from the eyes on her, shuffling further into Bombarda's side.

"Them together? Hmm I don't know he isn't as pretty as the other boys…" Judgmentally, one of the workers leans over registering, eyeing Aizawa his hue twitching tiredly at them.

"But the two are as anti-social and blunt together…" Another plays devil's advocate as Aizawa glares at them making them flinch fearfully.

"But the girl looks nothing like them…!" Another pair of eyes eye Eri, staring up at Bombarda almost in awe of her attire consisting of an orange flannel strapped around her waist with a navy blue tank top and distressed denim jeans, wearing brown boots.

"They could have adopted." Another one throws in as Aizawa approaches the two, swiftly dispersing the conversing crowd, eyeing the shirts with cats printed upon them.

"And here they go…" Aizawa grumbles glaring at the crowd.

"Don't let them get to you." Gently, Bombarda tells Aizawa.

"How are you not?" Aizawa furrows his brow at her, her brother was a firecracker and yet here she was playing it off…

"Practice ad I have a punching bag at home." Honestly, Katsumi confesses bringing a small smirk to Aizawa's lips just as Eri eyes the dolls in stock, seeing the endeavour and all might doll.

"What is it Eri?" Bombarda perks up at the faint tug from Eri's arm.

"Can I buy an Eraserhead and Bombarda doll?" Hopeful, Eri asks both heroes flinch from her words.

"H-Huh?" Aizawa and Bombarda both chorus taken aback.

"There's a bunny person doll and a man with wings doll there's even a man with flames and one with funny blonde bunny ears but where are your dolls, your heroes right?" Confused, Eri asks as Aizawa and Bombarda share a look.

"We don't have any dolls." Bluntly, Aizawa answers shoving his hands into his pockets.

"W-Why not?" Eri furrows her brow befuddled as Aizawa notes something to the side, taking his hand out of his pocket and taking the shirt.

"Well Eri…" Katsumi scratches the back of her neck attempting to explain but…

"We don't want our image to be sold we have some sliver of self-respect unlike other heroes." Honestly, Aizawa answers.

"Ah yeah that but also we just aren't as popular as those heroes." Katsumi answers.

"Speak for yourself." Aizawa huffs as Bombarda gives him a look.

"Oh…" Eri bows her head disappointed.

"I'm sorry Eri but hey how about we go get you're a pretty dress yeah or some nice clothes?" Katsumi offers optimistically.

"O-Okay…" Eri smiles shyly.

"Do you think it wise?" Aizawa whispers to her.

"Look we'll keep an eye on her now come on I'll pay." Katsumi insists.

"…Fine." Aizawa exclaims just as Katsumi takes note of the shirt Aizawa had taken.

"What do you think of this Eri?" Aizawa asks showing said shirt to her.

"P-Pretty! Ooh…" Eri whispers eyeing the shirt based on a cat.

"Hmmm…" Aizawa hums, his hues darting towards any cat clothing or anything cat related as next Katsumi knew…

"You uh…you like cats don't you?" Katsumi sweat drops at the cat based gear Aizawa had in the basket he held.

"…Hmph." Aizawa glares to the side.

"Right…" Katsumi sweat drops unaware of Eri's ruby reds widening when wandering over to a dress.

"Wow…" Eri whispers staring at the sleeveless ruby red dress with orange flowers and a white collar.

"That sure is a pretty dress…" Katsumi remarks crouching down next to her side.

Shyly, Eri nods. It wouldn't look pretty on her, not with those…

"Do you want that dress Eri?" Katsumi asks her.

"Ah! W-What did you say?" Surprised, Eri jolts up from her words.

"Bombarda is asking if you want the dress, you've been staring at for five minutes." Aizawa translate.

"Well…" Shyly, said girl bows her head holding her shoulder sleeve.

"I mean the dress doesn't have any sleeves." Sadly, Eri smiles strained.

"So?" Katsumi raises a brow befuddled.

"S-So it would show my arms and my scary scars wouldn't it?" Eri points out holding herself as both Bombarda and Aizawa share a look.

"Eri…" Gently, Aizawa sighs softly at her.

"So it's okay! It probably wouldn't have looked good on me anyway." Eri smiles strained at the two.

"Say Eri…this arm of mine is it scary? Or is the cut on Aizawa scary?" Softly, Katsumi gestures to her prosthetic rolling her sleeve back exposing it and then pointing at said scar.

"Of course not." Eri furrows her brow at the two.

"Then why is yours?" Aizawa asks her.

"Why is mine?" Mystified, Eri furrows her brow by the question.

"Eri you experienced a lot, much more than most kids and your scars are proof of that." Aizawa reminds her.

"But they are also proof of your strength proof that you survived. These scars of yours just as Aizawa's scar is on him and just as my prosthetic is for mine are a part of you, you should never be ashamed for being yourself." Katsumi elaborates.

"You think so?" Shyly, Eri eyes the dress.

"I know so. Look you don't have to get the dress if you don't want to." Tentatively, Katsumi promises her.

"But for what it's worth…" Aizawa begins…

"You'd look great in it…" Katsumi finishes as Eri eyes the dress as next she knew they were at the register, dress in hand.

"You did a good job back there…" Katsumi announces as she sits down on the park bench, Aizawa nuzzling the cat by his side as she eyes said cat purring draped over his shoulder. The two look out at the giddy girl in her new dress playing shyly in the sandbox, making her own sandcastle ignoring the eyes on her seeing some eyes on them from their child's scars.

"You think so?" Aizawa arches a brow at Katsumi.

"I know so. Trust me when it came to having an insecure little brother you're doing a good job." Smirking, Katsumi remarks as the cat perched on top of Aizawa's shoulder shyly makes its way over to Katsumi eyeing her hissing slightly just as Katsumi offers her hand for the cat to smell seeing said cat leap onto her shoulder.

"That's not what you said at the sports festival." Frowning, Aizawa remarks making Katsumi scowl.

"You chained my brother to a pole." Pointedly, Katsumi deadpans.

"…Sorry about that." Aizawa bows his head, he had to admit after her calling him out and after seeing a certain thread girl after the incident and her little roaring rant, he had to reconsider something's sure the way she went about it wasn't great neither was Katsumi's but the two may have had a point...

"It isn't me you should apologise to he's been through enough." Katsumi's voice swiftly snaps Aizawa back into reality.

"You're not wrong he's getting treatment on the plus side." Aizawa tries to offer almost as an apology.

"I suppose…" Snippily, she scowls at him.

"I hear you're taking Sayako under your wing." Aizawa remarks brow furrowed at the student, he didn't want to admit it but that little shit had managed to break through and become one of his favourites…he didn't know what it was about her though…

"I hope to when everything settles." Sighing, Katsumi confesses, she still had a fair few things to get in order before doing that until things with Eri settled maybe then she could focus on Sayako.

"…Take care of her would you?" Aizawa asks of her as Katsumi couldn't help but take notice of the slight softness in his tentative tone.

"Hm?" Humming, Katsumi perks up at the gentleness in his hues softly staring down at the cat in his lap another one, where it came from Katsumi had no clue as Aizawa stares down at the cat.

"That girl…she's been through enough." Aizawa sighs softly staring at the cat on his lap, the blondish brownish cat simply staring up at Aizawa as he reaches out for the cat hissing slightly but he doesn't bat an eye to the cat as its claws coil around his finger, hissing harshly, nibbling on his thumb lightly. He supposed she was like a cat in some way, sometimes hissing, sometimes cooing, sometimes being as difficult as a cat can be flexible perhaps that is why Aizawa liked her…

"Another fledging you favour I see…" Smirking, Katsumi chuckles coyly almost amused at it.

"The girl's a smartass, a loudmouth at that who will bullshit her way out of anything, but she has heart and I know she can be a hero." Honestly, Aizawa confesses, a faint hint of pride in his tone towards the thought of the blonde.

"…Well luckily for you I eat bullshitters for breakfast as for that comment of yours, have you told her that?" Teasingly, Katsumi smirks smugly showing said prosthetic fist to him.

"If I did, she'd hang it over me for the rest of my life." Amused, Aizawa chuckles shaking his head at the thought.

"You don't seem to mind." Katsumi quips smirking slightly when seeing the shy smile upon Aizawa's lips at the thought of the blonde.

"She's a little shit that's all." Aizawa remarks ruffling the cat in his lap hissing harshly, swiftly slapping Aizawa's finger away as Aizawa simply smirks amused at the hissing cat, holding his finger as he waves the cat from side to side smirking.

"I'm sure." Smirking, Katsumi leans back seeing sparkles surround the head of Aizawa entranced by the cat on his lap.

"But I guess…she's my little shit." Smirking, Aizawa jokes lightly.

"Heh. I'll take care of her Erasure." Resolute, Katsumi promises Erasure loosening up from her words.

"Good she's making real progress grade wise, she's practically at the top now…" Aizawa acknowledges.

"Look Erasure, I won't lie it will be a hard path ahead of her from what I saw at the festival she has to change her whole fighting style, she has to change her body structure at that if she wants to wield a prosthetic as fluidly as a fist. It won't be easy but I'll make a fighter out of her." Katsumi promises Aizawa as the two smile at one another.

"Thank you, I mean it." Aizawa bows his head thankful to the hero simply staring smiling softly relieved to see Eri playing with the other children, talking to those her age as they see the girl finally act her age…

"If you won the lottery what would you do with it?" Kane ponders puzzled curiosity clear on her furrowed features leaning forward holding his face in his hand, leaning into his plush palm upon the desk. He lifts his legs back and forth moving about his spinning chair, whistling innocently to himself.

"Put it in the bank." Both Bombarda and Haneul chorus chirpily firmly focused on the paperwork in hand.

"Aww come on that's a boring answer." Annoyed, Kane whines furrowing his brow at the two.

"That's the sane answer." Agitated, both Bombarda and Haneul holler back.

"That's the boring answer!" Annoyed, Kane repeats once more mad.

"You spend every waking moment trying to do things in life which benefit not just you but humanity as a whole, or even planet earth. Every moment you bring happiness and joy into peoples lives which in turn brings joy and happiness into your life. You continue doing this and reach old age. You reflect on life and feel joyful knowing you've improved the lives of many many people who will feel forever grateful towards you - even if they don't know it was you who did nice, selfless acts for them. These positive experiences are far more valuable than material possessions and do not rust and turn into mould in the same way as physical items." Haneul explains herself to Kane simply staring stunned at her reeling his neck back groaning grunting from her long winded response.

"Okay…bit deep there don't you know?" Nervously, Kane squeaks shyly smiling sheepishly as he reels his neck back, flaps of fat forming rings beneath his neck from her explanation.

"I'm just saying we all spend every waking moment thinking about money with some idea that immense wealth will make your life perfect and happy. We spend all our time in search of this and find material items only bring short lived happiness. Eventually enough material items don't fill the hole and we experience a form of depression despite having everything anyone would dream for. We then die one day, what was it all for?" Haneul leans down to her desk picking up her tea taking a small sip of it as she reads the document in her hand while Bombarda blanks the two out.

"Have you been reading that book again?" Annoyed, Kane grumbles eyeing her.

"Which one?" Oblivious, Haneul asks quirking her head to the side.

"Urgh…Bombarda help me out here." Groaning, Kane turns to his friend hopeful for some sort of backup.

"You dug this grave now you have to climb out of it." Aloofly, Bombarda deadpans, her focus firmly on the paper not even batting an eye to Kane.

"Urgh well if I had won the lottery I would get all the treats for Sparky maybe even have a pup sized little area for him you know like how gerbils have those rolling balls or tubes they scurry into!" Intensely, Kane gushes beaming brightly his hues sparkling shining beneath his visor at the thought.

"You mean like a playpen of sorts…?" Bombarda amuses him.

"Yeah I'd make a dog size one out for him after of course buying a mansion and maybe a yacht at that!" Smiling, Kane nods his head.

"Aren't you seasick?" Haneul furrows her brow at him.

"Doesn't mean I can't pose for the camera, right?" Kane winks cheekily.

"You're ridiculous you know that…" Tiredly, Haneul huffs shaking her head at him.

"At least I'm fun! Hey where are you going?" Scowling, Soundspark puffs his cheeks out only then to take note of Katsumi placing her documents to the desk.

"I got a promise to keep." Katsumi turns to the elevator waiting for it to open.

"Oh you're going to that cultural festival right?" Kane gathers leaning back in his seat, spinning it.

"Cultural festival?" Frowning, Haneul eyes the two.

"So you heard…" Katsumi mutters her hues narrowing at him.

"Yep from that thread girl, smart girl she is wants me to check on my protégé." Proudly, Kane smirks smugly.

"Oh the one you nearly got killed." Katsumi reminds him.

"I don't have to take thi-Achoo!" Annoyed, Kane begins beofre bursting into a sneeze surprising Katsumi, he seemed fine before giving a ride to Sayako earlier, still said girl was taking a break as they spoke.

"And there he goes..." Haneul sighs softly seeing said boy steal the elevator from Katsumi.

"Infecting the whole office building…" Katsumi steps back not wishing to be infected by Kane before deciding to take the stairs to the side, descending down, heading to U.A.

"Hey you made it!" Merrily, Mirio beams brightly at the sheer sight of Bombarda exiting out of her car. The group waiting for them.

"Sorry I'm late." Apologetic, Bombarda smiles shyly at the trio waiting for her, her in her casual clothes consisting of a orange and navy blue bomber jacket with a white baggy shirt underneath, distressed jeans and familiar combat boots.

"It's okay." Merrily, Mirio assures her wearing his own casual clothes.

"B-Bombi!" Shyly, Eri rushes over to her side.

"Hey Eri don't you look adorable!" Smiling, she kneels down catching the girl throwing herself at her but…

"Eri?" Alarmed, Aizawa furrows his brow noting her stop briefly before Bombarda.

"I-I'm sorry…" Shyly, said girl whimpers weakly.

"Hey now what on earth could you be apologising for?" Frowning, Katsumi questions her holding her shaking shoulders.

"I…I didn't wear the dress you bought me I'm sorry, I'm so…" Sniffling, Eri whimper weakly as Katsumi sees said girl wearing a familiar attire of a white dress shirt with a frilled collar and a plain red pinafore with two large, golden buttons on either side of her chest. Under this, she wears gray tights and a large set of tan boots, and a small dark red messenger bag with the strap sitting over her right shoulder, and a little floral pattern decorating one of its sides.

"Sweetheart it's alright." Softly, she smiles down at the child.

"How…? You spent all that money on me?" Miserably, Eri argues anxious.

"Because you wanted it just means you have to use it right away, wear it when you're ready to wear it, when you want to not when people tell you to." Gently, Katsumi places her hand on Eri's head her hues widening when hearing her words.

"But…you're wearing your scar…" Shyly, she points to her prosthetic.

"Maybe so but I had time to recover from it you haven't. Don't feel like you have to rush to catch up, take your own time yeah?" Softly, she ruffle's Eri's hair.

"Y-Yeah…" Shyly, said girl nods.

"We're finally here…it's okay Eri it's nothing but nice people around here, welcome to U.A!" Merrily, Miro declares spreading his arms out to U.A as the group finally begin their tour of U.A.

"Hey-Hi-Achoo!" Kane beams brightly at the sight of Ed and Haneul, the two taking another break as Soundspark enters the recording studio seeing the two there loitering around talking about the recent remixes of certain songs they had planned to release.

"Welp someone's ill." Ed remarks softly sipping his cocoa as the three make their into the recording studio, Kane having brought a purple print leopard duvet draped over him shyly shuffling in with perky pink bunny slippers.

"Get out." Haneul orders as she sips her smoothie.

"But…" Kazz whines brow furrowed.

"Get out." Harshly, Haneul barks back.

"I got work to do…" Kazz brushes past her.

"Since when did you care about work?" Haneul huffs.

"Well since we're not uploading right now, I can't really do editing at home and if I can't do anything at home…" Huffing, Kane pouts, puffing his cheeks out.

"You become a pain in the ass." Annoyed, Haneul grumbles.

"Isn't that normal?" Ed furrows their brow befuddled.

"This is a higher level of it." Haneul corrects Ed.

"I'm right here." Kane grumbles glaring at the two before sniffling, his voice hoarse.

"We know." Unapologetic, the two chorus as Kane sniffles, a heavy hue of ruby red dusting his crimson cheeks and nose.

"And if I am taken out by this cold just know it's on your heads and I leave all my earthly possessions to you two." Kane announces to the two.

"And not your folks?" Frowning, Ed eyes him.

"No mom will feed Sparky till he's nothing, but a boulder and Dad will just say how he isn't a real dog." Kazz sighs sadly, he had worked hard to get Sparky the weight he had pulled off, the skirt he had gotten Sparky was the goal for that and he wouldn't have it ruined.

"What do you mean not a real dog?" Ed furrows their brow befuddled.

"He wanted me to have a saint Bernard you know those huge dogs!" Bitterly, Kane grumbles at the memory.

"You would be destroyed by them." Haneul chuckles coyly at the thought.

"Would no-Argh! Already the bright light is trying to take me Haneul help!" Kane cries out falling flat to the ground groaning curling into a cocoon snatching the duvet draped over him.

"Go into the light Kane." Haneul remarks.

"Yes if you hear choir music go for it." Ed joins in.

"Goodbye Sparky…just know…papa loved you very much and he hopes to be buried with you one day…" Dramatically, Kane proclaims proudly rushing into the recording booth.

"Oh for…Kane! You're sick, you shouldn't play. You should just go home, get in bed, and stay there!" Tiredly, Haneul snaps sharply at Kazz but…

"But I'm unemployed." Soundspark slurs swaying from side to side alarming her.

"You're not unemployed!" Haneul snaps at him.

"My music is all I really have now. Well music, hero work and making my own socks!" Smiling, the delusional male lifts his leg up surprising a fair few at his flexibility showing the doctor soos like socks of mint green and a dark shade of giddy grin with slick silver studs and purple gems into it.

"…Lovely." Dryly, Haneul huffs seeing a fair few employees recoil back from said socks.

"How did you even do that?" Ed asks alarmed.

"Grit, blood and lots of cold medicine, medicine I think was out of date. Want one?" Kane asks his employees scowling at him.

"Not really, I'd prefer to have two shoes." Snippily, Haneul huffs.

"I mean a pair moron!" Mad, Kane barks back.

"Still no." Swiftly, she refuses.

"My work is beyond your petty mind of fashion…" Firmly, Kane proclaims proudly.

"Oh we're sure." Snippily, Haneul huffs hands wrapped over her chest cross.

"Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to record my music." Mumbling, Soundspark mutters, his hues glazing over.

"And if you will excuse me I'm going to train the threads girl, she should be done with her meditation." Haneul reasons turning to leave, returning to her training…

"It looks like nobody's noticed us yet…" Amazed, Mirio remarks smiling as the group roam around the school, Katsumi smirks slightly spotting a fair few familiar sights feeling a strange sense of deva ju ignoring the brief idea to go see her brother. No doubt he was doing his own thing and she didn't want to disturb him he would always get so invested into his pet projects.

"Bombi what is Mr Lemillion doing?" Eri asks snapping Katsumi out of her thoughts as Katsumi takes note of Mirio peering around the bush eyeing the children.

"I have no idea sweetie." Bluntly, Bombarda responds frowning.

"Let's see what kind of sudden entrance will get a laugh out of them…?" Thoughtfully, Mirio considers calmly.

"Bombarda! Togata!" Midoriya perks up at the sight of the group.

"The peaches are ripe for the picking!" Proudly, Miro declares showing his behind through the bushes baffling Bombarda.

"We were granted permission by the principal." Aizawa explains to his class.

"Wha-what is that his kid?!" Ojiro gawks gaping at the girl clinging to the leg of Bombarda.

"Wait is that…Bombarda!?" Sato says shocked at the sight of the brunette before them.

"No way…wow she's as hot as her quirk is!" Mineta gushes.

"What a lovely outfit!" Ochako squeals smiling at Eri.

"Cuuuute!" Asui agrees as Eri huddles further into Katsumi's side.

"Mmm…" Uneasily, Eri eyes the two girls gushing over her.

"It's alright Eri…sorry about that she's just a bit shy." Softly, Katsumi places her hand on Eri's head assuring her all is well.

"We don't want her getting surprised or put into a state of panic so we brought her here so she can get used to things." Aizawa explains to his students.

"Eri you're the girl from the time we were interns my name is Ida nice to meet you!" Tenya tries to introduce himself however she huddles further behind Bombarda.

"I look forward to seeing you in ten years!" Mineta gives the girl a thumbs up.

"…Excuse you?" Warningly, Katsumi scowls glaring down at him.

"Wow Bombarda it's really true your body is as smoking as your-" Oblivious, Mineta begins but…

"That's enough." Aizawa shuts him up bandages coiled around him, swiftly shutting him up.

"Mmm…" Eri leans further into Bombarda's side.

"It's alright Eri…sorry she's shy." Smiling, Katsumi tells Tenya.

"Is she now?" Amused, Tenya chuckles coyly.

"Anyhow Eri, Bombarda and I thought that we could walk around and explore the campus after this. Want to join us Midoriya?" Mirio invites Midoriya over.

"You wouldn't mind?" Meekly, Midoriya turns to Bombarda.

"Eh why not?" Briskly, Bombarda shrugs just as the dorm door opens to…

"Yoo dance team! There's something I want to talk about eh!? Bombarda!? Eri!?" Kirishima calls out only to falter, his ruby reds widening when seeing Bombarda but most of all…the girl behind her.

"Been a while redhead." Amused, Katsumi places her hand on her hip.

"Bombarda I'm really sorry!" Saddened, Kirishima rushes over bowing his head to her.

"Sorry?" Startled, she does a double take at the news.

"I let you down, you had to fight that guy all by yourself, Fatgum was crying his heart out when he saw ya." Kirishima confesses.

"Ah that I already sorted that and I'm fine honest." Honestly, she tells Kirishima.

"Thank goodness oh right, hello ah yeah you don't know who I am do you?" Kirishima turns to Eri.

"Mmmm…." Eri huddles behind Bombarda.

"It's alright he means well he may look scary but he's a softie on the inside." Softly, Katsumi assures Eri.

"Well then why don't we take a breather? Tea time!" Merrily, Mina proclaims proudly as the other members of class A cheer…

"Before I start, I just wanna say that umm, I have a cold, so if I sneeze in the middle of song, it's not on purpose. Well unless it sounds cool then keep it in got it George?" Sniffling, Kane turns to the furrowed frown of Haneul and Ed through the glass.

"…" George looks up at his supervisors seeing both Haneul and Ed with their arms crossed over their chest cross as next George knew from all the looks sent his way, he started recording…

"This is Gospel for the fallen ones

"Locked away in permanent slumber

"Assembling their philosophies

"From pieces of broken memories-holy shit I sound fantastic hey Han get me a whiskey would ya?" Kane hollers haughty smirking smugly as he stop stunned, doing a double-take at his deeper vocalizing bringing a ruby red rush to Haneul's crimson cheeks from the voice drop.

"…Just me or does he have a point?" George asks turning to see Haneul combing her fingertips through her hair, a heavy hue of ruby red all over her fuming face.

"He does…" Shyly, she whispers weakly, almost in awe at the voice alone.

"Oh boy…" Ed facepalm.

"Guys we got we got to capitalise on-Achoo!" Excitedly, Kane gushes giddily before bursting into another swift sneeze.

"Clean up crew we have a code green I repeat code green!" Haneul declares as said group rush in.

"G-Good work guys achoo!" Kane clasps his hands as the group rush in cleaning up his mess.

"Ah yes bring in more people to get sick lovely plan George…" Ed grumbles glaring at George.

"It's a plan okay now give the man his whisky!" George dictates.

"Already on it!" Surprisingly, the two jolt up at the blushing Haneul, their hues widening when seeing said bottle in hand, recognising said wink as a certain someone stunning them to see said sidekick steal from her of all people…she truly must have a death wish.

"Even though there's no school today everyone's working so hard. It helps that people live on Campus…" Mirio tells Eri as the group walk around the school grounds, the group consisting of Midoriya, Mirio, Bombarda and Eri with said girl holding Bombarda's hand. Aizawa having gone to tend to his teaching duties.

"Hey if it isn't Togata!" One of his assumed classmates come up to him.

"Is that a child wait and Bombarda!? That must be the girl people think is her daughter!" The one holding the box by the other's side gasps.

"Hold it when they said you needed to take some time off from school was it because…!? You and Bombarda!" The one with the box asks.

"…Pardon?" Perturbed, Katsumi furrows her brow at the two.

"Come on say something! You look so serious!" Panicked, the student gasps at Mirio's still silence as Katsumi's hue twitches tiredly swiftly hitting his shoulder making him whimper weakly falling flat to his knees from said hit.

"Baby…" She scoffs shaking her head at him.

"Joking aside our class is gonna be awesome this year you should check it out!" The older one gets the gist hanging out a flyer for them.

"What an elaborate flyer!" Mesmerized, Midoriya gushes as the group continue on seeing people prep for the festival to come…

"Aah wait don't put up a poster over there!" Worriedly, a girl calls out rushing over trying to stop her classmates mid-construction.

"Even though we're only a day away look how busy everyone is…" Amazed, Midoriya smiles softly in awe at his surrounding seeing classes of all years working their hardest for the festival.

"Everybody's hoping to take last years performance and plus ultra it!" Mirio cheers raising his fist to the high heavens as just then a skeleton dragon suddenly pops out of nowhere!

"Wha!?" Midoriya screeches startled just as Bombarda notes Eri jolting up as Bombarda picks the girl up.

"Sorry bout that hey it's Midoriya from class A and Bombarda!" Tetsutetsu gasps at the sight of him as Bombarda does a double take.

"Huh a lot of people seem to know me…" Bombarda mutters surprisingly slightly recalling the silver boy having faced redhead back at the festival.

"Know you!? Dudette you rock! The way you blast shit is badass, especially your die catchphrase, so manly!" Tetsutetsu gushes taking her aback.

"Ah thanks your match with redhead wasn't bad either…" Fairly, Bombarda offers.

"Wait you saw that oh my god the great Bombarda saw my fight and is complimenting me…so manly!" Mesmerised, Tetsutetsu gushes in awe sparkles shimmering around him.

"Well, well, well, what do we have here? What are you doing loading about here!? Looking a little complacent aren't you? You feeling good about that!? Cuz this time around us B class folks are gonna make it clear that we're superior to you hacks over there." Mad, some blonde boisterously bellows as Katsumi's ruby reds narrow at the boy, something coming to mind but what she had no clue…

"Ah…the class A and B rivalry I see it's never died…" Fondly, Katsumi smiles shyly at the boy before her.

"Oh ho a U.A alumni look at that just cause you got one of the greats on your side doesn't mean anything got that class A¬!?" Angrily, the boy boasts as Katsumi sweat drops at the little shit before her.

"So are you doing some kind of live performance?" Mirio asks him trying to change topic.

"You okay Eri?" Midoriya turns to the girl.

"I thought it was the dragon lady." Eri whispers nuzzling into Bombarda's neck.

"Ah." Katsumi exclaims catching on to Ryuko.

"Oh man you're ignoring me!? Really!? Well watch out Class B is doing a completely original totally specular fantasy performance Romeo and Juliet and the prisoner of Azkaban return of the king." The blonde proudly proclaims.

"…Wow that's not a mouthful at all…" Dryly, Katsumi remarks.

"You should check us out if you want to see real talent for your agency. Make sure you've made proper predations because when we eat you up and make you cry you're gonna need a handkerchief!" Happily, he tells her.

"Somehow this guy is talking more than ever…" Midoriya mutters as beofre the group knew it said blonde was hit on the back of the head by one of his classmates.

"Sorry Midoriya Kendou's not here to keep this guy in check…" Apologetic, the man with his wrap around his head picks up the comatose knocked out state of Monoma.

"They're always together though…" Midoriya takes note of.

"This time we're separate she's entering the beauty contest she was forced to enter." The boy from the blonde's class says to them.

"Forced?" Frowning, Katsumi's stern scarlet narrow.

"I can't speak for Monoma but let's each do our best! Let's go!" The boy form class B hollers before leaving dragging the blonde boy with him.

"Our teacher didn't say anything about a beaty contest…" Confused, Midoriya remarks as Katsumi smirks slightly at the memory of the contest, remembering Haneul being the winner, Kane had tried to enter but…it didn't exactly go well.

"I see some things never change…" Coyly, Katsumi chuckles.

"Never change?" Confused, Midoriya turns to him.

"Yeah back when I came here we had a similar thing though in the end I killed them all." Intensely, Katsumi smirk smugly, a glint gleaming in her murderous mad red as Midoriya sweat drops at his crazed murderous grin, adjusted to it while Mirio and Aizawa sweat drop at it, Aizawa unable to not see Katsuki from that furious face alone.

"K-Killed them all…" Meekly, Mirio whimpers.

"I murdered those fools in cold blood for thinking they could stand against me!" Maddened, Katsumi cackles haughtily horrifying Mirio while Eri simply stares.

"Heh…something's never change." Midoriya smiles softly chuckling coyly at the familiar face.

"Eri i'm sorry you had to see the ugly side of U.A all of a sudden. Speaking of the beauty contest thought that person is really fired up this year!" Merrily, Mirio declares.

"That person?" Perplexed, Midoriya furrows her brow befuddled sharing a look with Bombarda as the two follow him to a separate room.

"Last runner up Ms Hadou Nejire!" Mirio declares joyous as said blue-haired girl floats down.

"Ah you're…" Bombarda's ruby reds widen when seeing the blue-haired girl wearing a blue dress descend down sparks of energy in the air as she smiles down at the two.

"Hey, hey Bombarda great work back there!" Happily, Nejire greets her.

"Ah thanks." Politely, Bombarda nods her head at Nejire.

"And Eri's here too how come? That's so weird why? Why? You look like you're having fun!" Nejire floats down peering down at Eri in Bombarda's arms as she nuzzles further into Bombarda's chest almost trying to hide away from Nejire.

"Your quirk is flashy and um your face is p-p-p-" Blushing, Midoriya squeaks slightly looking away from Nejire's chest as Bombarda couldn't help the small smirk upon her lips.

"Stuttering Izuku." Playfully, she points out recalling the young youth coming around the shoot to model something with Katsuki now and again and when she would model some article of clothing she recalled the blushing broccoli headed boy.

"Proportionate." Blushing, Izuku finally managed to speak it out.

"There we go." Smirking, Katsumi lightly hits his back making Midoriya squeak slightly taken aback at the rather harsh hit for Izuku.

"It's amazing that someone like you could come in 2nd place senpai!" Smiling, Midoriya compliments her.

"Yeah so listen to this are you listening!? Every year I fall just short of winning there's this one girl who's just too amazing! The supreme beauty contest champion from year 3 of class G of the support department Bibimi Kenranzaki!" Gushing, Nejire gossips.

"W...Whoa…. " Midoriya says.

Meanwhile, Kendou's fanbase has been rapidly expanding behind the scenes thanks to her appearance in a commercial this year. So Hadou is all the more fired up." Tiredly, Tamaki mutters camera in hand.

"Tamaki?" Bombarda perks up at the sight of the blue haired boy.

"Putting on a performance like that in front of the masses just thinking about it…urgh my stomach." Struggling, Tamaki groans holding himself as his legs buckle before falling to his knees shaking.

"Tamaki it's okay come on remember deep breathes…" Bombarda rushes over to his side, placing her hand on his shoulder, Eri still slumped over her other shoulder as she tries to console cheer the anxious mess up.

"Deep breathes…" Meekly, Eri calls out alerting both Bombarda and Tamaki looking up at her, seeing Eri raise her fingertips up to four doing the breathing technique Bombarda had taught her bringing a soft smile to Bombarda when watching Tamaki follow Eri's advice, the two taking a deep breath as she raises her fingertips to four then down as she and Tamaki release.

"There we go…" Gently, Katsumi smiles softly pride laced in her tentative tone.

"At first I just tried entering because Yuuya told me to but at some point I just started having fun with it! but no shortage of frustration either so this year I'm definitely gonna win it's my last chance after all!" Nejire gossips gesturing to her friend holding a dress talking about going for the cute dress rather than the sexy dress since it costed them last year.

"I know you can do it! Now then next up is…the support department!" Mirio cheers his friend on before leaving as they go to show Eri the spewing sparks of said support course.

"Is that where you got your arm Bombi?" Innocently, Eri looks up at Bombarda who set her down.

"Well at first yeah…" Smiling, she answers.

"In their cases all the classes are working together to put on a huge exhibition!" Mirio adds to the tour.

"Oh I've heard about this it draws a lot of attention every year!" Excited, Midoriya recalls.

"That's right the cultural festival is the support departments time to shine!" Smiling, Hatsume rushes in dirt all over her.

"Hatsume wait whhuuh!" Midoriya cries out taken aback at the device behind her, a robot.

"This is my ultra baby 202! And… oh my god Bombarda!" Mei gasps gawking at the brunette taken aback at her gawking.

"That is me…" Awkwardly, Katsumi smiles strained only to falter from the sudden grab of her arm.

"Your arm was a huge thing at the time I remember all the reports going on about how revolutionary your arm was with the small tubes of sweat being collected us for a huge explosion! I mean sure it wasn't the first arm to be made but I remember the news going crazy about someone like you being a hero! Man just thinking back to it makes me think of a certain baby of mine! I wonder how she is with her new owner…I know I need to make some modifications but…" Intensely, Mei gushes her hues shining shimmering as she rubs her prosthetic perturbing Katsumi at the sheer intensity of her words as she gossips.

"You're looking a little dirty there…" Tentatively, Midoriya points out as Katsumi manages to free her arm from the crazy genius.

"But of course! Even taking baths wastes precious time!" Mei stretches her arms out excited.

"Now that's dedication." Impressed, Mirio smiles.

"Amazing ideas just keep popping into my head I'm having so much fun! Compared to the hero department. We didn't have much of a sense to stand out in the sports festival but this time around we're the stars of the show. I'll be able to show off even more of my babies to even contraception's! I need to raise them properly so they'll have nothing to be embarrassed off anyway how are those iron soles of mine? If anything comes up don't be afraid to shout!" Smiling, Mei turns to Midoriya after gently patting her big baby.

"Yeah than-Ah!" Alarmed, Midoriya cries out as Bombarda grabs Eri as steam spews out her big baby.

"Baby!" Mortified, Mei cries out to her child steam spewing out of it.

"Waah Hatsume you've done it again!" Annoyed one of her classmates rush over extinguisher in hand.

"Eri let's go outside yeah?" Bombarda tells Eri.

"O-Okay…" Shyly, said girl nods her head as the group leave said department deciding to go get lunch.

"Welp there ya have it I guess…" Mirio exclaims as the group sit down having eaten lunch rushes food as Eri softly sips her soda.

"Are you getting used to or rather how was it…?" Midoriya asks Eri.

"I don't...really know…" Shyly, Eri's grip tightens around her drink.

"Ah…" Disappointed, both Mirio and Midoriya furrow their brow.

"But Bombi came to this school and there's a lot of people all trying their best so…I wonder how it will all turn out." Eri turns to look up at the brunette taken aback at the slight sparkle in her hues.

"Guess you'll just have to wait and see…" Smirking, she tells Eri, spotting a faint blush to her cheeks.

"Now that's what we call being excited I'm very much excited for the cultural festival as well…" The two jolt up at the voice of Principal Nezu.

"And we sure had to bend over backwards for the cops…" Surprised, the group jolt up at the voice of Midnight munching her food by Nezu's side.

"Now, now Kayama all of the students are striving to put on amazing festivities they're working at both shows themselves and their peers a great time. Well then I'm off children enjoy your culture festival to the fullest and miss Bombarda." Politely, Principal Nezu munches on his cheese before gesturing to the hero.

2Hm?" Humming, said hero raises a brow by the spotlight suddenly on her.

"I hope when you feel ready again for your podcasts to continue despite many objections. I have heard over the years your discussions with your friends over the hero world over the world is rather insightful!" Principal Nezu exclaims as Katsumi does a double-take from his words, she had been told that a lot lately whether that be online or in public, Kane too from his nagging but still today with all those students recognizing her…maybe Midoriya did have a point about her being recognizable…

"Oh…sure. I guess?" Unsure, Katsumi considers brow furrowed from the sudden pressures of having that sort of limelight as said teacher leaves content.

"I won't go into detail but the principal really pulled out all the stops for you guys and the result of that was bolstering our security even further and on top of that if by some minute, some chance the alarm is set off even if it's a false alarm. The event will be called off on the spot and the premises evacuated immediately those who were the conditions." Sternly, Midnight stands up once the principal is gone, telling the group how it is.

"Wow that's strict." Mirio exclaims.

"Of course we're constantly on guard to ensure that doesn't happen! We've let hound dog loose around the vicinity of the school." Seriously, Midnight tells the group.

"Let loose?" Katsumi furrows her brow by the wording.

"Oh that's right class A's concert is the talk of the school even in the faculty room so get out and live your youth to the fullest!" Midnight winks mischievously at the group.

"Yes mam!" Mirio salutes smirking.

"And Bombarda?" Bemused, Midnight smirks slightly at Katsumi.

"Hm?" Katsumi furrows her brow befuddled.

"I listened to your podcast with mount lady maybe sometime I could get on there." Midnight hints winking at her.

"Sure I guess, Soundspark would be eager to meet you." Katsumi states the fact firmly, she knew how he was when it came to certain heroes…

"And I'd be eager to meet him." Happily, she smiles turning on her heel and leaves.

"What are you doing Mr Deku?" Curious, Eri asks him.

"We're gonna have music and dancing it's gonna be a blast! We'll work extra hard to make sure you have lots of fun Eri so be sure to come watch ok!?" Midoriya beams brightly down at her just as Katsumi perks up at her phone, taking it out.

"Ah we better go the hospital will want Eri back." Katsumi recalls, seeing said message reminder pop up.

"So soon?" Disappointed, Eri sighs sadly.

"I'm afraid so but we'll come back tomorrow okay?" Gently, she places her hand on Eri's head ruffling up her locks.

"Okaaay…." Eri bows her head taking Bombarda's hand in hers as they leave, having seen enough of U.A.

"So, I need to write some depressing stuff to go along with my new floozy voice, but nothing that sad has ever really happened to me."

"How horrible that your life has been nothing but roses throughout your life.

"…I could write about the time I dyed my hair in a rainbow…that did not look good." Kane huffs placing his chin on top of the sofa pouting at the memory just as the elevator door dings.

"Nor you going for a ponytail." Playfully, the voice calls out as a familiar brunette struts out of the ruby red doors o the elevator.

"I was young okay!?" Defensively, Kane whines wailing at the miserable memory.

"Boss welcome back." Happily, Haneul warmly welcomes her back.

"Hey boss you're just in time, you should come hear me, ooh hear me. Ooh, My sticky socks, I draw my lo-eww! Eww! I lost my sexy phlegm!" Perturbed, Kane cries out to the high heavens horrified as his deep husky voice returns to normal.

"Oh you're not sick anymore." Bluntly, Bombarda deadpans.

"NOOO!" Together, both Haneul and Firefly scream together taking Bombarda aback as next Haneul knew…

"Achoo!" Haneul suddenly curls forward.

"Oh boy…" Bombarda furrows her brow by the small sneeze escaping Haneul.

"TRAITOR!" Snarling, Soundspark scowls, tackling Firefly to the ground.

A small screech escapes the lips of the startled Haneul being pushed to the ground.

"Shouldn't we help them?" Ed furrows his brow at the sight of the feuding two below, poking, pinching twisting each other's hair feuding like children.

"We should Ed we probably should…" Bluntly, Bombarda nods her head, a still silence hanging heavily between both Bombarda and her sidekick staring down at the chaos below…

"Want some whisky?" Ed shows said whisky bottle to Bombarda.

"You read my mind…wait…" Happily, Bombarda takes said bottle before faltering furrowing her brow by the substance within.

"You took my germs give me back my germs you traitor!" Kane shouts slamming his face flat on her face.

"I did not take your germs!" Haneul snaps swiftly snatching tugging at his hair.

"I need them! And do you have any idea how much these highlights cost!?" Cross, Kane snaps sharply seething down at Haneul, the two tousling below…

"No you don't! Get off me!" Mad, Haneul waves her arms all over fury flowing through her.

"WHO THE HELL TOOK MY WHISKY!?" Wrathful, Katsumi snaps snarls even as both Haneul and Kane flinch from her cold curt tense tone feeling fury flow through her as the other two turn to stone statues, feeling nothing but the unbridled bloodlust of their boss, Bombarda.
