Eren was back in the horseless carriage, silent as his 'mother' drove.

Even if this wasn't his actual mom, he knew she was mad. Mothers had a certain angry look to them that seemed universal. and in this, it might have actually been universal.

Eren didn't know what it was he was inside of, but he figured it was some kind of carriage. The way she grabbed the circle to steer and the way the whole thing moved roughly made it seem like she was upset.

Eren remembered asking to go outside the walls and that was what sent his own mother into a rage. Bullies seemed to make this Mom angry, Eren wondered.

"Hey, Mom, where are the walls?"

"There are no walls Izuku— Sorry, Eren."

"Are we free?"

"Yes"

Eren was silent as he stared out at the window.

Izuku ran.

His feet were starting to hurt, and the smile on his face was gone, but he didn't care. The only thing he could feel was the wind in his face and the hand tightly gripping his own. He looked back for a second to see the girl running behind him. Her black hair was flowing behind her as she stared at Izuku's eyes. The black eyes glowed as he turned away and kept running.

He had to keep running.

It was only about now Izuku just realized what he did; well, also what she did. They just killed a man. But it was okay, right? He had no other way to help her. He had to do it. He had to.

Izuku's train of thought was slowed by the sight of the girl's home just up ahead. There was an almost instant slow down as the girl hit the brakes and stopped, just staring at the house. Izuku turned back to see a look of despair on her face as he tightened his grip on her hand and forced himself along. Her hands were trembling as they walked into the front of the house to see Eren's father. Izuku breathed a sigh of relief as caught a glimpse of safety.

The full weight of exhaustion was starting to kick in right now.

Grisha's eyes turned to tears as he walked over and caught both kids in his arms as they ran. Forcing a stop with a hug. Izuku didn't know why but he felt his eyes start to water, same with Mikasa. He wrapped his hand around the man and held tight for a moment before pulling away.

"I found her," Izuku said, staring at the ground as the images flashed in his mind. "She was in a cabin, over there." He pointed out as he looked behind his father to see some Military Police holding down two men. Mikasa took a step back as she saw them.

"The Military police have them. You're safe now, Mikasa."

She looked to Grisha and Eren before nodding.

"Let's get this sorted out," Grisha said

Why was the medicine here so good? It had only been a few hours and Eren could barely feel the bruises and minor burns on his body. Did everyone here just heal really well? The idea that they would give children something like this for free was insane. The bandages here were also sticky and small. Everything here was so different from back home. He frankly couldn't hold the thought in his mind. It wasn't until he slowed down to see everything, that he realized.

There was some kind of energy that made lights work without kerosine. People were actually nice to one another. At least compared to how it was back home... Except for the Bakugou guy. Eren felt a bit of jealousy that someone got to have this but the feeling was closely followed by guilt as he wondered what happened to Izuku. He knew nothing about whose body he was inside. All he knew was that he was weak and had a nice mother.

Also, the Bakugou guy hated him.

Eren was constantly asking Izuku's mother questions to help fill him in on how different everything was. His face of wonder forced a smile on her own as Inko tried to stay positive. His curiosity about the world was growing constantly. Everyone had some kind of power, some kind of "quirk" that they could use. Oddly enough, he didn't mind the fact that he was one of the few without powers. If he was being honest, this world would be a straight improvement if his family was here…

"So Eren," Inko smiled, playing along but still having a bit of fun herself as she spoke. "What's your 'world' like?"

Eren felt his smile disappear as he thought about how to explain it. "Well-uhh… in my world, there are monsters called Titans. They look kind of like that girl in the um magazines, like big people, and they eat humans. We have big walls that protect us from them, but we're trapped in those walls all the time." He looked down as the mood shifted, as thoughts about his family and what was happening to them resurfaced.

"Well, you're not trapped here. There aren't any walls," Inko smiled as she tried to parse the information. She only had a psychology minor and it was clearly not meant to understand something like this.

"But my family is."

Inko's head stopped as she tried to figure out what the hell else to say. This isn't something Izuku would ever say, even if he was pretending to be someone else.

"How about we get some sleep tonight?" Inko knew he would notice she was deflecting, but at this hour, she couldn't care.

This wasn't her son.

Izuku began shaking an unused blanket into the air as the dust flew off, sparkling in the moonlight. Eren's room was still unusual, but it felt almost like he was on vacation. The room had everything he needed. Eren's father chose to take Mikasa in so it made sense that she would sleep here until they had a proper room and bed. It didn't make it any less uncomfortable though. Bakugou's mom mentioned that boys shouldn't sleep in the same room as girls during sleepovers.

"We don't have a bed ready, so I'll just sleep on the ground," he said, placing the first blanket on the ground as he sat down staring at the girl about 3 feet from him. She had a sombre expression as she stared at his makeshift bed.

"I should be sleeping on the ground," she said quietly as she slowly moved and laid down on the bed. Izuku knew she was right. There was enough space and Eren's parents didn't mind. He considered the offer but focused on ignoring it as he laid down. Sleeping in the same bed seemed more wrong.

From his spot, he could see the girl's black hair softly shifting as she moved. It wasn't until he heard sobbing that he realized what was happening.

"Mikasa…" he whispered. He didn't know what to do, he didn't know her. He only got to experience a fraction of the pain she had to deal with today. Izuku thought back to all the times his mother cried and how he used to comfort her.

Izuku got up and sat on the bed as Mikasa came up to apologize for waking him up. Izuku just hugged her.

He felt his own tear ducts well up as she continued her crying, unable to hold herself back as Izuku held her tight. Her own arms wrapping around his back as her tears went from her face into his shirt making a small spot on his shoulder. Her breathing uneasy and in chaos as she tried to calm herself and failed repeatedly.

If Izuku was being honest, she might have been the first person he cared for in this world.

"It's gonna be okay."

It took two tries, but Eren was sure he was going to get sleep. The lightbox in the living room scared him but his mom helped explain the house wasn't being robbed because of loud voices, and that she was just watching a 'crime drama'. Why would anyone make a drama out of a crime? Eren forced himself to ignore the thought as he lay in his bed waiting for sleep to take him.

It was a while but after closing his eyes he was finally comfortable. Not asleep but comfortable in this bed. It was much softer than his one back home.

It must have been about a minute until Eren opened his eyes.

He saw... himself? Well not himself, but he saw Izuku, or his body at least. It was like a mirror, with the face staring back at him with the same glare as Izuku looked at his own hands.

"Wait, I'm back to normal!" Izuku shouted, startling Eren as he did the same and looked at his arms. The clothing wasn't the same as his usual sleeping outfit, but this was himself.

"W-What happened?" Eren asked not sure why he was suddenly back to normal. He turned his head and caught a glimpse of a black voice, nothing around or out there and the only thing visible was the mirror and the boy inside of it feeling himself.

"A-Are you Eren?!" Izuku pointed, feeling the wear on his body as he stared at the boy that looked about his age.

"Yeah. Are you Izuku?" Eren responded, not quite sure what was happening. "I was sleeping and I just woke up here in my normal body."

"Yeah, I'm Izuku. I just went to sleep too. I think I was in your body today."

"Yeah, same."

Both boys had a look of surprise on the other. What the hell were they supposed to say to each other? 'Hey something put me in your body and some crazy stuff happened today?'

"What happened?!" They both exclaimed.

Wait did they just think the same thing?

"I think we should talk," Izuku suggested.

"Yeah, probably," Eren agreed.
