"Bakugo and Izuku still haven't made it to class-" Ochaco said as she cast a slightly nervous glance towards Midoriya's empty desk as Iida asked,

"You guys don't think that they are fighting again, do you?"

Everyone fell silent for several moments before Shoto said with a slow shake of his head, "No. That's not it. Do you guys recall an incident happening sometime yesterday around lunch time. Both Izuku and Bakugo were missing then too. And then there's the fact that Mr. Yagi was carrying someone to the dorms last night. Someone that looked suspiciously like a girl that looked exactly like Izuku."

Several of the kids in the small group that had been speaking amongst themselves sputtered and almost screamed from the shock and horror of what Shoto had just implied as Ochaco merely rolled her eyes and was about to tell them all to stop being such drama queens, and let them in on the fact that Izuku was in fact a girl. Something that she had learned on accident their first year at U.A during the villain attack at the school.

Izuku's hero costume had been ripped and torn in the chest and back areas- showing a little bit of the fabric from her white and pastel colored polka dot bra.

The second that Izuku had caught her staring, something dangerous had flashed in those normally calm and kind moss green eyes causing Ochaco to quickly look away and avoid the green-ette for several days before she was finally cornered by the other girl and forced to swear never to tell anyone of what she had discovered.

The or else had of course hung unsaid in the air between them. But it had been there nevertheless.

She opened her mouth to say something, hopefully to divert attention to what Shoto had brought up about Izuku's femininity when someone walked through the classroom door- one of their teacher from another class- Present Mic from English class, walked in and did a quick automatic sweep of the class as he slowly closed the door to the classroom and then said, "Everyone to your seats. Class is beginning."

The normally loud and jovial man seemed as if he were, for lack of a better word...depressed.

Everyone quickly moved to their desk and quietly sat down as the man began roll call and was about to give them a small lesson in something when someone at the front of the class held up their hand and asked where their two missing classmates were.

The look on Present Mic's face when Izuku's name was said, was...heartbreaking. But the moment that Bakugo's name was mentioned...his expression turned dark and furious and he suddenly growled out in a loud tone that startled everyone. "Never mention the name Bakugo in this class- no in this school again! That boy is an absolute disgrace! How anyone in accepted into the hero program c-could do what he did to a-another... A-And Izuku- oh god that poor, poor kid..." He suddenly started tearing up and bit his bottom lip to hold back his sobs as he looked away from the kids with his hand over his mouth.

Shoto, Iida, Ochaco, and several others whom had become quick friends with Izuku suddenly became very worried and scared that something horrible had happened to their friend. And from the way Present Mic had just snapped at the lot of them, Bakugo was the cause of whatever it was that had occurred.

It was near eleven when Izuku awoke again.

And this time she was greeted by both of her teachers. Apparently Toshinori had just come out of the bathroom after making use of her shower, and was at present sitting on his cot munching on something for brunch while Aizawa-sensei was eating himself an apple when she suddenly pushed herself up in bed, startling the two somewhat.

It took them both a moment or so of floundering, but eventually they were able to settle and managed a couple of raspy greetings.

Izuku didn't say anything to them at first because she was still stuck in that place between waking and sleeping, though she did manage a small finger wave in acknowledgement of their greeting before somehow managing to climb out of bed and stagger off into the bathroom on slightly shaky legs. And was gone for several minutes before finally returning to bed looking a little bit more awake and asking, "Is there any food left?"

Toshinori had just finished polishing off his sandwiches and managed a teasing reply, "I'm not sure. I think Shota may have polished the remainder off before you awoke." And nearly laughed when the dark haired man froze and then bristled as Izuku gave him a sort of 'kicked puppy' look before the man quickly stuffed what was left of his apple in his mouth and then turned his head to glare at the grinning blond.

Silently swearing bloody vengeance on the man for making him the bad guy to his student.

During which time Toshi got up and walked over to the small fridge and pulled out a paper plate with some sandwiches on it and then grabbed a disposable plastic cup and filled it with milk before walking over to Izuku and handing the items over before going back to his cot and slowly sitting himself down on it while Izuku slowly ate her food.

"H-How are you feeling kid?" Shota asked after several moments of silently watching the girl eat. He'd told Toshinori earlier upon his awakening that she had gotten ill a few hours ago, and while the man wasn't frantically concerned about the fact that the girl had been ill.

He had still been concerned.

Izuku looked at him for a second, her sandwich still in place at her mouth, and she slowly lowered it before slowly replying with a flippant, "I'll live." And then resumed eating, though it was obvious to the two men that she didn't seem to have much of an appetite as the minutes went on. Finally after managing to eat at least part of her food, she set it aside and drank some of her milk before then saying, "I-I think I wanna try going out for a run or something." Her green eyes studied the two men as if she were trying to gauge whether or not they would allow her to try going for a run.

If only to get out of the room and away from the school for a little bit.

"A run hm?" Aizawa muttered more to himself than to anyone else as he stared back at her before finally saying, "Don't you think you should stay put and heal up a little bit more?"

"Honestly... I'm not all that sure that I can stand to stay in this room anymore than I already have. I just want to get out for a few hours and do something to occupy my mind a bit. I thought a run would help since I'm normally am able to block out quite a bit when I'm zoning out."

Both men could understand where she was coming from. Though neither one had much of the heart to tell her that she pretty much stayed zoned out all of the time as Toshinori said slowly as if he were considering the pros and cons even as he spoke, "If that's what you feel you need right now- then I'll take you running at our usual place. But before we go, I want you to drink a bit more of your milk."

"Y-Yes sir!" Izuku said as she quickly polished off her drink and then set the cup aside and started to get up again when he dropped some shorts and a pair of socks and sneakers onto the bed next to her leg and then reached out and tugged slightly on Shota's scarf to get the man up and moving before saying. "We'll be waiting just outside for you to finish dressing. Call if you need help." And then walked out of her room with Shota right on his heels.
