Hello everybody and welcome to chapter 32 of Death and Beyond. I know, I know. It has been a long time since my last update. Heck I think it has been a month since my last update. But I guess that's life. I have some free time but not much really so I hope you guys can forgive me.

So ok I won't keep you guys long, I hope you guys enjoy this.

"You know I could get used to this."

"Used to what?"

"This."

It was night time in and most of the students were asleep except for some individuals, two of those individual were Tomomi and Tsuyu who were cuddling in the bed while the Tomomi's laptop was illuminating them.

"I get what you mean. But this peace won't last you know. Ribbit"

"I know, but that doesn't mean we can't enjoy it."

Tsuyu hummed and got closer to Tomomi he welcomed her as he held her in his arms. To think that their school life was this hectic and dangerous. Peace like this is very rare nowadays.

The movie ended and the credits rolled just in time for an alarm in Tsuyu's phone blared. She took out her phone and turned the alarm off.

"It's almost time for curfew."

"Really and I wanted to cuddle more." Tomomi whined as he extended his arms.

"Me too, you're pretty warm." She stood up and slipped on her slippers. "But we can't get in trouble."

"Right." He stood up as well "I'll walk you to the elevator."

They exited his room and began to walk to the elevator.

Just then a set of floating clothes came out of the elevator.

"Tooru?" asked Tsuyu recognizing her friend since she was the only one who was invisible.

Tooru slightly jumped and she seemed to turn to their direction. "Hm? Oh hey guys!" she said as her clothes moved indicating that she was waving.

"Hey Hagakure-san, nice to see you." Tomomi greeted and Tsuyu just croaked.

"Nice to see you guys too."

"What are you doing here Tooru-chan?" asked Tsuyu with a finger under her chin.

"Oh…you know I just got home after my…date." There was a brief pause before she said 'date' this made Tomomi raised an eyebrow.

'Almost like, she was hesitant to say that.'

"Oh you must be tired then."

"Yeah, about to head to my room to get a good night's sleep."

"Well good night then."

"Good night you guys!" she said as she jogged her way to her room.

"Well." Tomomis started then the elevator doors opened allowing Tsuyu to enter. "That happened."

"Yeah. Ribbit. Good night."

"Good night."

The doors closed and Tomomi sighed turning around to head to his room, but he couldn't help but look behind him, looking at his invisible friend.

'Something was just off with her…I shouldn't pry but I'm worried.'

And with that he went to his room. Unbeknownst to him Tooru was in her room sitting on her bed staring at her phone.

"He couldn't wait to see me, I guess there was nothing to see."

The Next Day

Tomomi was out with Izuku as they did their morning jog, the fresh morning air hitting their face as they jog.

"Hey Tomi."

"Yeah?"

Izuku was silent for a few seconds finding the right words for his question, he looked at him with a seriousness in his eyes and asked.

"Have you ever wondered, like you could save someone even though you failed the first time?"

This got Tomomi's attention. Where did this come from? Izuku only asked this type of questions when he actually is feeling it, meaning something happened and it kept bugging him.

Due to him being 190 years old, he can pretty much guess that he was the most reliable in this type of situations.

"Of course I did." He said as they continued to jog. "There were times that I thought that I failed them, thought that I could have done more, thoughts of what if's that just kept me awake at night." They turned at a corner. "Some were too hopeless to do, some were I was too weak, too scared. And of course they paid the price."

Izuku gulped.

"But."

They stopped and Tomomi was in front of Izuku, turning around to face him he said. "That didn't made me give up." He got closer to Izuku "If I could save them, if there was this small chance and one hell of a big if, I'll take it."

"Because I actually tried than to give up." He said and he smiled ruffling Izuku's hair. "Come on, it's way too early to be this serious. You have to get back to the dorms to give your girlfriend a good morning kiss." Tomomi said as he jogged away from Izuku who was blushing and stuttering.

Izuku chased after him still red in the face as they jogged. "I-I-I don't give her a morning kiss!"

"Oh yeah." Tomomi said in realization as Izuku's blush lessen. "You guys make out."

This made Izuku's blush skyrocket as he was producing steam.

Tomomi laughed and he ran away with Izuku chasing him.

The students were now at their classroom and just like any other day they were discussing and doing normal school-like activities.

Everyone was paying attention to Ectoplasm and his lecture…well not all of them.

Shiro P.O.V.

As much as I wanted to focus on our class here, I just couldn't. Not after my 1st day in my internship.

I was doing my internship with Aizawa-sensei, everything was going normally. We patrolled a few places and even thought how to use my Quirk in a stealth way.

But after that…well everything just went to shit.

Flashback

"Ok we're done here." Said Aizawa-sensei as he wrapped the thugs with his cloth. They were patrolling earlier when suddenly they heard some noise in some alleyway near them, checking it out they found 4 thugs harassing a guy. Using what Aizawa taught me earlier we pretty much took care of them in seconds. Using my tendrils to take care of the two behind them while Aizawa took care of the two in front we managed to take care of them with ease.

"I already called the police and they should be here soon." Said Aizawa-sensei who put the 4 thugs next to a trash bin. "In the meantime you and I will take a short scout in the area for more of this thugs."

I nodded and was about to go to the Shadow World when he stopped me.

"Remember Nai. Be careful, be silent and strike."

I nodded and went to the Shadow World going to shadow to shadow I didn't notice anything, I was about to head back to Aizawa-sensei but a commotion got my attention.

Getting out of the Shadow World I saw a crowd of people and there were some shouts in the middle.

'Wonder what's going on?'

"THE AGE OF QUIRKS IS COMING TO AN END!"

"What?" I walked towards the crowd and went to the middle. Upon coming to the middle I was surprised to see 2 people in the middle and they were being arrested by some officers there was also Kamui Woods there. They were shouting in protest but that didn't stop the officers in walking them in the van.

'I guess everything is fine.' I was about to walk away when suddenly one of them managed to destroy the handcuffs and drew out a gun he pointed it at Kamui Woods who was about to capture him again but he wasn't fast enough.

"TAKE THIS HERO!" With that he fired.

*Bang*

A shot fired and everyone panicked, civilians ran in different directions.

As much I could have just used my tendrils to have Kamui Woods move out of the line of fire I didn't actually have time to think and my body just…moved.

Pushing him out of the way made him safe, but that didn't actually made me safe as well.

"GAH!"

The bullet hit me and I was sent back. Catching myself I realized that it was not hurting that much, the pain was more like a bee sting, it was there but not so much that I can actually consider it 'painful'

"Hey Kid you all right?" a voice snapped me out of my thoughts and I looked down to see Kamui Woods standing up.

"Y-yeah, just surprised." I replied, we both looked at the shooter and we both made a move to capture him with our Quirks…only to find mine didn't activate.

'What…?' I was shocked no tendrils seem to come out and capture the shooter, heck I couldn't even sense any of the shadows around me anymore…I felt blind.

"Gah!" the shooter shouted as Kamui Woods captured him, making me snap out of my trance.

"Got you!"

After that the shooter and his friend left thanks to the police. Kamui Woods also left saying there has been a report of a train going in high speed.

After that Sensei found me saying he heard the gunshot and theorized that I was here, he found me still daze and he was worried. We sat down in a nearby bench and got a cone of Ice cream to calm my nerves.

Flashback End.

No sooner than I sat on that bench my Quirk returned and everything was fine again, I reported it to Sensei and he told me that there was this rumor that villains were creating this…drug. And this drug can pretty much disable one's Quirk. Unbelievable I know, but I experienced it first-hand...and it only made it more bone-chilling.

"Nai-san, I recommend you listen to class." Ectoplasm-sensei said with a stern voice.

"Y-Yes sensei! I apologize." I said with a bow.

Class resumed as usual.

Third Person P.O.V.

With that everybody was back to their daily activities, minding their own business.

Time flew and everyone was back to the dorms. Everybody felt tired physically and mentally and they were thanking every deity out there that it was Saturday tomorrow.

"Let's have a sleepover!" suggested Mina who despite being tired was full of energy.

"We should finish our homework first!" said Iida with his hands flying everywhere.

"Boo!"

"Well I already finished mine." Said Izuku "So I guess I-I can go.."

"As usual you are very wise Midoriya! Unlike me who wasted his hours and not do his assignments! I envy you my friend!" complimented Iida who have tiny tears dropping from his eyes.

"I-I-I-I-It's not that! I just ha-had a lot of free time!"

"Shut Up DEKU!"

"I guess I can go as well. Ribbit." Tsu looked at Tomomi. "How about you Tomomi?"

"Sure, I got nothing to do after all."

"I'm not going to this stupid fucking sleepover!" Bakugou said as he went to the elevator.

"Oh, you're not fun Bakugou!" Ochaco said as she followed the cursing teen.

One by one the teens went to the elevator to change to something comfortable.

Once they were done they went back to the living room and enjoyed their free time. Kirishima was at the kitchen since it was his turn to cook them dinner.

"Boo, only us four will go to the sleepover." Said Mina whose chin was on the counter.

"Nah, I'm going." Said Jiro who was listening to music on her phone.

"Yay! Girl Power!" she said as she hugged her and made her blush.

Izuku saw Shiro walk by and he greeted him "Hey Shiro, you going to the sleepover?"

Shiro thought about it, he already finished his homework and it will get boring if goes back to his room.

"Yeah sure." He smiled and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

"YAY!" Mina celebrated, then she spotted a set of floating clothes. "Hey Tooru!"

Since the clothes stopped she must have heard her. "Yeah?"

"Wanna hang?" Mina grinned.

"So-sorry, but no thanks."

"Ahhh, why not?"

"Sorry, I'm not feeling well. I'm probably going straight to bed after dinner."

"Oh ok." Hagakure walked away and everything went back to normal.

"Hagakure-chan, seemed…off." Tsuyu with her blunt statements said.

"Oh you noticed too?" said Mina and she nodded. "Wonder what's going on?"

"Maybe we should ask her?" Izuku suggested as he sat beside Mina, who leaned a bit towards Izuku.

"Or…we give her some space." Tomomi suggested. As much as asking her if she was alright might be a good idea, but giving her some space is also a good idea, she might not be comfortable speaking her problems to someone just yet.

"But-."

"Hey guys! Dinner is ready!" shouted Kirishima and everybody went to the dining table.

Dinner was done and everybody went to their own rooms, some returned for the sleepover which they decided to do in the living room.

They decided to just do a movie marathon and have some snacks, movies was decided by each and every one of them, so meaning they had to bring a movie.

On the table were some drinks such as Cola and juice, snacks were some chips, marshmallows, cupcakes (courtesy of Izuku ), cookies (courtesy of Tomomi) and some barbecue (courtesy of Shiro).

Right now they were watching Tomomi's pick, which was an animated movie about a young outcast Viking befriending a Dragon.

Every time Tomomi saw a Dragon he always imagined his mother and wonder if she was all right.

Izuku was fascinated at the first invention the teen made in the movie. A gun that can shoot a net? Fascinating! And he can pretty much relate to the character.

Tsuyu was enjoying watching the movie and also enjoying the company of her friends. It was rare for this kind of peace. But…

That doesn't mean that they can't enjoy it.

AND THAT'S A WRAP!

Thank you guys for reading this it really means a lot. So I got a question and this will be not that important to the story but more like something to actually happen here.

Ok if you guys have been reading my other story called Seeing Other Universes in a Screen. You might remember that Izuku comforted Tooru in her time of need. And you can pretty much see some relation of that of that moment here. To some that has not read my other story fear not you do not have to read it to catch up.

Here's my question: Do you guys want Tooru to be comforted by: 1. Izuku 2. Tomomi or 3. Shiro.

I will make a poll but you guys are free to just say it in the reviews or you can PM me of your answer.

The choice is yours.

and with that I say

byebye!
