As Shouto sat in one of the many hospital beds of Ueno Private waiting for his friends (friends, now isn't that depressingly foreign and strange thought.) to finish up their check ups, he tapped his feet with impatience. He had insisted that he was alright and didn't need to stay in the hospital overnight, but it was late, so they refused to let him leave and told him to stay for just one night, both because he needed the rest, and just in case.

Suiting up, Arriving in Hosu, getting the message from Midoriya, fighting Stain and finally winning, then Ueno's panic attack, and after that the Noumu, and Stain again.

He chill traveled up his spine as he recalled that overwhelming pressure, he'd been frozen, muscles locked and unable to move. But even before he'd felt that, before anyone's felt any of that, Akemi and Ueno had both reacted, the former much more violently.

Akemi was the one who noticed it first, though notice would be an understatement. She was originally ready to head after Midoriya, crackling with golden energy, and then all a sudden, she'd froze in her tracks, stumbled back, her quirk faltering and the light flickered out. Then she fell over and began clutching her head. Ueno knelt by her side, worried, until Stain landed, and upon which she flinched back and froze on the spot.

That was when the screaming began. Akemi's began screaming, curling in on herself moments before they sensed anything, and by the time Stain'd stopped moving, she'd fell over, unconscious.

When the ambulance arrived, the paramedic found nothing wrong with her, but seeing the state she was in, they'd took her to the hospital anyway.

Shouto had no idea why did she fall over screaming, but what he is even more surprised about, is Ueno's reaction when Stain froze in his tracks and fell unconscious mid step.

The girl went ahead and healed the villain, then fell unconscious herself. Stain didn't wake up when she did that, nor did he wake up after that. But according to the paramedics, he might've died of internal bleeding if she hadn't done that. However that left the girl with a cracked rib and punctured lung, and from what he heard, she is now in surgery from multiple not-fully-healed wounds.

Really... if this keeps on, he is going to tell Akemi to put a leash on the girl before she kills herself.


Akemi'd woke up shortly after arriving at the hospital, and upon insisting that she's fine and since that doctors found absolutely nothing wrong with her, she was let off, and she'd instantly asked after Hibiki.

The idiot got herself a punctured lung, and landed herself in surgery.

And now, sitting outside the operation room, Akemi rubbed her forehead and sighed.

At this rate, if she don't put an actual leash on her, Hibiki is going to kill herself.

Alright I lied. After going through future chapters there is no way they aren't going to be dark and plot chapters. The future chapters are going to be a lighter tone and some funnier, but some of them are still going to be that passive aggressive angst that I love. Plus, if you find some familiar words or sentence structure that you've seen, don't be surprised, I do a lot of analysis on other good fanfics and take reference to their sentence or plot structures. (Tell me if you spot them, I need to learn how to be more subtle.)

If you follow the Twitter account I made for Sonder (or my Instagram account) you might have already seen the new cover image that I'm currently working on, it's much better than the one I'm using now but since I'm doing it by hand I have no idea how to digitalize it properly. I'll probably put more updates of the official artworks of Sonder later on. So look out!

Onto the reviews!

To darkpaladin89: Yep, Teenagers! (Wait I'm a teenager.)

To Survivor: okay, so Izuku's ship, with who? I'll put in the vote after you reply.
