Ashido's Side

And that was that - Iida brought us to the surface. Yaomomo had taken down Pride, even even though she was hurt she was taken to medical help fast. Jirou had beaten Tigress and she got arrested. We were told by our mentors that we had to end our work studies for a while, which was a bummer. And all you guys helped us out and made us feel better when we got back, which was really nice.

Kirishima's Side:

I woke up a mummy in the hospital, to tons of bad news. Midoriya's mentor Sir was dead. Togata had lost his quirk. But in the end, Midoriya had saved the girl at least. And Chisaki was beaten, though he'd been attacked by Shigaraki and the League of Villains on transport and all the bullets stolen. Fatgum told me to take it easy after Recovery Girl healed me up...

When me, Midoriya, Uraraka and Asui finally got together, it was pretty late. It'd been so long...

And when we walked in, Mineta called, "They're back! Everyone, they're back!" And all of you were coming to ask about us.

"Is everyone okay?"

"We saw everything on the news!"

"That looked like some nasty business!"

"We were all super worried!"

"Have some gateau au Chocolat!"

"If it isn't our resident troublemakers"!

"You punks are always coming home after getting caught up in serious stuff!" called Kaminari at Midoriya and me. "Stop it! You're scaring us!"

"I'm just glad they're ok," said Shoji to Jirou.

"Ok, yeah. As long as they really are…" she murmured.

"Ochaco! Tsu!" called Hagakure, running forward to hug them.

"Yes, yes, they know we were worried about them!" Iida interrupted, jumping in between us and the class. "But calm down! We all saw the broadcast and the extent of what happened! As their classmates, we ought to let them rest their weary spirits! Because it isn't just their bodies. Their spirits have also been worn down by everything that's happened."

"Iida - hey, Iida," said Midoriya, raising up a hand. "Thanks, but - I'm fine."

"If you're sure," said Iida, and then shouted. "I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU GUYS, I SWEAR!"

Sato provided Midoriya with cake, Asui seemed to be checking in on Uraraka. Yaoyorozu called too, "I'll brew some lavender herbal tea! It's jut the thing to help you relax!"

Sero ran over to me and put an arm around my shoulder. "Why didntch'a say anything? It was such a big shock to all of us!"

"We were under a gag order," I explained.

That's when you came up to me, and asked me...

"Hey, Kirishima," you said - you were holding Koda's rabbit. "You good?"

"Getting there" I smiled at you. And you nodded, then held up the bunny for Uraraka and Asui to admire.

Through all of this, Bakugou had remained on the couch, his hands stuffed in his pockets and one bare foot up on the table, saying nothing. Kaminari, at this moment, went over to him to jump onto the same sofa.

"What are ya sulking about, Kacchan!?" he called. "You were worried too, so come join us! Don't hold back!"

"Bedtime." he snapped, shoving Kaminari away from him and storming off.

"This early? Are you an old man?"

"You have nothing at all to say to them?" Ojiro asked.

"Unlike you people, I don't have that much time on my hands."

"Midoriya," Todoroki told him sadly, "Uraraka, Kirishima, Asui. Sorry, but I've got to sleep as well."

"You too!? We got another early riser over here?"

"I understand Bakugou," said Tsu. "But is something up with Kirishima?"

"They've got their remedial training. Still, it is pretty early," said Jirou.

"Did he - Bakugou - ever tell you what was up with those trainings?"

"No. Honestly, we weren't really hanging out or talking that much anymore by then. I think he'd started talking to Midoriya more about his problems at that time. Didn't really feel like talking to me anymore. And it's not exactly easy to talk to him about stuff most of the time anyway..."

"Hm..."

"I wish you'd told me about your adventure too."

"It wasn't quite as dire as yours."

"Still, pretty dangerous. Sounds like you guys went through a lot."

"You too. Congratulations on that. You got yourself your first real nemesis and all."

"Some day, I'll have a rematch with him. Some day."
