Fugu woke up, realizing she fell asleep while tending to Michi, she grabbed his shoulder turning him around.

"AHH-- ahh... fuck.. that's painful..."

Michi muttered as Fugu examined him, pressing her hand on his forehead as she felt it he was burning hot.

"oh God. I didn't think it would get this bad so quickly..."

Fugu tried helping Michi up as he let out a yell

"shit... yeah... it just went from bad to worse..." Michi tried to think of what to do as he looked around.

"Lou! Lou!" Fenrir appeared, just as sick as Michi as he flopped over. Fugu let out a sigh as she took off her bag. Wrapping Michi's arm in sterilized bandages the best she could, before lifting him onto her back, using Black Whip to wrap around him. Michi was passing in and out of consciousness as he looked around confused.

"am.. I in a baby harness...?" Michi said as he passed back out again. Fugu held onto his head as she touched foreheads with Michi.

"hold out... just hold out a little longer, Michi!" Fugu said with determination, knowing she is the only chance of saving Michi, Fugu grabbed her communicator.

"Heading home with one wounded. Prep surgery."

Fugu paused as she waited for a response... nothing.

"Heading home with one wounded. Prep surgery! Please respond!!"

Fugu waited again... nothing...

As Fugu was reaching for the off button when she heard her brother's voice

"Roger that. We're awaiting your arrival Fugu. Glad to hear you're coming back."

Fugu smiled as she heard her brother.. it feels like it's been months.

"just wait til I'm back, then tell me how you're feeling."

Fugu activated One for All, as she ran out of the hidden base, running from roof to roof, as she tried to keep the ride as smooth as possible for Michi.. she quickly ran up a building, using black whip to climb as Michi shook violently

"ah... what the hell?! What was that??"

Michi looked down at the ground below as he began to freak out

"WHERE THE HELL AM I?!"

Fugu tried to keep focus as Fugu tried to calm him down.

"Michi! Calm down!! I'm trying to climb and you're making it difficult!"

Michi calmed down for a second as he tried to focus.

"Fugu?? I found you?!"

Fugu became increasingly concerned as she climbed,

"yeah. We found each other... but right now I need you to sit still..."

Michi nodded as he slowly passed out again. Fugu finally reached the top of the building, as she used Fa Jin to jump off the building, using her suit's new support items to glide in the air as she headed towards hermitage. She deactivated it as she activated float, slowing down her descent as she landed on her feet, running into the bullet train tunnel, she got to the door as she pulled on it, realizing it's locked, she searched her pockets, finding the same key she used days ago as she turned the lock. Opening the door as multiple doctors awaited at the door.

"Let us see the injured!" A doctor said, as Fugu turned around, lowering Michi

"Right here!" Fugu said in a relieved voice, "please help him."

the Doctors put the boy on a emergency bed, as Fugu grabbed the door, slamming it shut and locking it.. She looked up at Karasu who looked shocked as he saw Michi Shinomori being pulled away, he slowly looked at Fugu, who was a disheveled mess.

"I'd like to shower now." Fugu said as she handed Karasu the key she borrowed, as she slowly walked out of the airlock, Shizu, Senshi, and Hana looked like they had seen a ghost, as Fugu limped into the command room. She nodded as tears streamed from her face.

"Where did you find him?!" Senshi shouted in disbelief as Fugu began to take off a few pieces of her hero costume, only leaving her clothes.

"He was hiding out in an apartment complex basement... he survived because of Fenrir..." Fugu said in an exhausted voice as Hana looked confused

"But why was his arm so broken?! It almost looked like the kind of injury you have when you use your quirk too much... Fugu."

Shizu looked nervously at Fugu as Hana tried talking about Michi's injuries as Fugu tried walking down the stairs.

"I need a shower... and some sleep Hana... please.. I'll explain things to you in the morning.."

Fugu slowly descended the stairs as she got to her room.. as she took off her hero suit, she moved to her bathroom, turning on the shower, she waited for the water to warm up. When she heard a knock on her door.

"You found Michi?!" Tsuyoi asked, teary eyed as she sat down in Fugu's bedroom, cleaning up by grabbing her hero suit, gagging at the sewer smell.

"Yeah... I did. In good time too... he probably would've..."

Fugu looked at her hands as she took a deep breath.

"he's alive. That's all that matters now. I don't care about the details."

Fugu stepped towards the shower as she heard her mother once more.

"I'm so proud of you.. your father is too. We're sorry with how things turned out after UA's destruction, but we were worried for your safety."

Fugu nodded as she turned off the shower so she could hear her mother more clearly.

"I know. I just couldn't hide. I need to be out there making a difference; because if we don't, who will!"

Fugu smiled softly as she realized.

"Well.. I guess Michi did. Even when we were busy with ourselves down here."

Tsuyoi smiled hearing her daughter excited to have her friend back.

"I'm glad things turned out okay... at least.. in our little family's situation.. You know. When we were talking, just him and I before everything, he talked to me all about you.. and little things you did, that made him so happy."

Fugu nodded, as she blushed.

"mom... he told me he loved me... before everything.."

Tsuyoi nodded as she listened to her daughter.

"and?"

"do you love him?"

Fugu nodded, blushing "yes. I do... but where do we go from here?! After such heart break and it turns out everything is okay, can we really just, resume, pick off where we left off?"

Tsuyoi shrugged, "why couldn't you just do that? It's yours and Michi's relationship, and your choice what you two do.. if you want to be with him, then you should be with him."

Fugu nodded as she got back up, turning on the shower.

"I'm going to shower mom. I'm going to go see him afterwards!"

Tsuyoi smiled as she stood up as well. "I love you sweetie, have a good night."

as Fugu got into the shower, she scrubbed herself harder than ever before, the scorching water and soap felt like it barely helped with the sewage smell, until finally the smell disappeared, as she was now squeaky clean, Fugu stepped out to her room, as she put on some clean clothes, a white shirt with its sleeves rolled up and some grey sweat pants. Fugu took a deep breath as she tried collecting her thoughts in what to say to Michi.

"God... how do you look even cuter with no effort?"

Fugu turned her head, to see Michi standing at the doorway, his arm is healed, with the infected tissue gone, his new scar on his left arm turned and led up his arm like a vine as Michi wore a white shirt and blue sweats. He laughed as he moved his hair off of his face, as Fugu ran up to him, hugging him tightly.

"Woah- careful, careful, I'm still a little loopy... I'm still not 100%... they just discharged me because they have a doctor on hand that has a quirk that eliminated all infections. But I'm still out of it." Michi said as he held onto Fugu.

"I don't care! I'm holding onto you and I'm not letting you go until all of this is over!"

Michi turned around, as he saw Senshi, Shizu, Hana, and Toma run towards Michi, one by one , Michi said hello to his friends and family, embracing them in a hug, until lastly he got to Toma.

"thanks for the healing Toma."

Toma laughed as she rolled her eyes.

"you're welcome. You were worse than you looked."

Michi looked at everyone as he looked up the bunker.

"So, what now? What's the plan?"

Fugu let out a sigh as she admitted.

"we don't really have one. The Japanese government has been telling heroes to stay here in hermitage, so we haven't done much. But... the flash drive!"

Fugu instinctively reached behind her before smacking her forehead.

"Fuuuuck!! I forgot my bag at your base!"

Michi nodded.

"it'll be fine there, what ever it contains."

Shizu explained the situation to Michi as he tried to explain what's been happening.

"that laser that hit UA, it's a satellite that's floating in the atmosphere. It's charged by your father's quirk, but the problem is, we don't know where; or which it is, since there's thousands of satellites. We can't tell."

Michi nodded, "and the flash drive?"

"that's a potential lead. But we don't have much to go off of.." Senshi admitted

Michi let out a sigh as he wasn't sure what to do himself..

"I guess when we're all ready, we should get back out there, if we can get multiple heroes out and helping people, we can get a step up from then Wildfires."

Fugu nodded as she let out a sigh.

"yeah, except we've got Tweedle Dum guarding the exit. The only reason why I was finally able to get out is because of the drop I got on him. I doubt he's going to let any of us out."

Senshi let out a sigh. "My dad's a bit of a fool I know. But he's also loyal. Loyal to the system he has surrounded his life with."

"maybe Deku can convince him.. we can't just let innocent people die because our jobs are on the line. Civilians are fighting for their lives as we hide down here."

Michi let out a sigh as he listened to the evidence

"this is what the Firefly wants. Exactly what she wants. She wants civilians to think that we're too scared to fight back. So... we prove them wrong."

Shizu nodded, as he pumped his fist into the air

"We can definitely make a difference! We have to!!"

everyone was in agreeance, they would all make a stand to leave in the morning... as the ground began to separate, Michi began to walk down the stairs, as he felt an hand grab onto arm."

"eh?"

Michi turned around, as Fugu looked flustered as she tried to get the words out of her mouth..

"um... you... do you... can we...?"

Michi looked confused as he moved closer to Fugu.

"can I what?"

Michi held onto Fugu's hand, as his thumb slowly pet her hand, when Fugu looked up with a smile.

"Can we sleep together?"

Michi's face went red.

"w-w-waaaait what?"

Fugu's face went red as she shoved Michi.

"I MEAN SLEEP IN THE SAME BED YOU IDIOT!"

her face was red as she stepped in her room, inviting Michi in, as he slowly walked into the room.. he looked at Fugu as she shyly looked at Michi, as she closed the door.

"um... so..."

"so...?"

Fugu sat down on her bed as she closed her eyes, Michi sat down next to her as he slowly touched her back, massaging her back as he slowly moved his hands around..

"what brought that on?"

Michi smiled as he continued to massage her, pushing down in the more tense spots

"you seemed tense.. so I thought I'd help..."

Fugu moved her hair to the front as she let Michi continue, as he finished, he softly kissed her on the cheek. As she chuckled, pulling him in

"you're not getting away that easily..."

Fugu softly kissed Michi, as Michi kissed her back. They both pulled away as they hugged one another, falling into the bed, Michi held into Michi as his eyes began to become heavy.

"I missed you..." Fugu admitted as she began to cry... turning over to face Michi, burying herself into his chest.. Michi held onto her as he squeezed her in a hug.

"I missed you... I missed you... I missed..."

Fugu continued as she took a deep breath.

"okay.. okay. I let it have its five minutes. I'm okay. I'm okay."

Michi smiled as he kissed her in the forehead.

"Fugu, you'll be okay... if I were to be gone.. you.."

"stop it."

"Fugu, you'd be okay. You have everyone and Shizu..."

"and what if you lost me?! You wouldn't just move on! Would you? No! So don't tell me that I'd be okay, when I couldn't even sleep!"

Fugu cried in Michi's chest again as Michi began to cry himself.

"I don't know what I'd do. I think... I think I would lose myself. I'd give up.. what I meant by you would be okay... is that I know you would eventually be okay.. you're amazing, you could easily make it in this world without me."

Michi said as Fugu pulled away, pulling Michi into her chest as she began to pet his head, running her hands through her hair.

"life would be easier with you."

Michi closed his eyes as he heard the rhythm in her heart.

"I love you."

We're the last words Michi muttered as he fell asleep, Fugu soon after.

Toma Shizu

Toma walked to her room as she looked at her pile of snacks, letting out a sigh as she couldn't bare taking another bite.. when she heard a knock on the door. As she slid her door open, she saw Shizu holding up a plate of food.

"Toma.. I got you a plate of food, if you need more calories.."

"I'm fine." Toma said as she walked into her room, Shizu slowly entered as he set the food aside.

"I'm happy to see Michi is back. Really, you seem happier." Toma said as she looked at Shizu with a smile, before it broke, into a frown. "Shizu... I'm sorry I couldn't... really be there for you."

Shizu looked at Toma concerned as he ran up to her, grabbing her hands.

"hey, hey woah... what brought this up?!"

Toma pulled her hands away as she hesitated.

"I just feel like... all I did was avoid you these past couple days... because at first I thought it was because I wanted to give you space after Michi... but really I'm just unsure of everything right now."

Shizu pulled her in, "talk to me."

Toma looked into Shizu's eyes as she placed her head on his chest, as she let out a sigh.

"the world is just so terrifying, right now. I am just so... caught up in the moment sometimes I forget there's other things happening.. smaller things than saving the country, that are... larger problems"

Shizu looked confused, "smaller things than saving the country, that are larger problems? What does that mean, Toma?"

Toma hesitated as she asked Shizu.

"what do you think of me..? I know we... we had hot moments... together.. but in truth what do you think of me?"

Shizu didn't hesitate as he answered, holding onto her hands.

"Toma. I love you. I should have said it before, when we were still at serenity, but I do. Call me selfish, for being with you in serenity when I had these feelings but.. Toma I couldn't contain myself."

Toma nodded in understanding as she took a deep breath.

"I... I do too.. I'm just... there's so much going on... I want to explore it with you, but there's another problem."

Shizu looked at Toma confused.. but his heart fluttered, as he wanted to stay on topic.

"So you're telling me there's a chance??"

Shizu said with a smile, as Toma rolled her eyes, kissing Shizu on the lips

"just give me some time. But... Shizu..."

Toma placed her hand on her stomach.. unable to say it clearly, as she pulled away from Shizu.. Shizu looked at Hana, then her hand placement as he thought for a second.

"OOHHHHHHHH. OHHHHHHH NO. OHHHHHHH REALLY?!"

Toma nodded as she covered her face, unable to utter another word as Shizu tried to process things.

"I get what you mean by another problem now. Oh shit."

Shizu sat down on the bed as he tried taking a deep breath.

"I mean... all I know is that I'm late. It could be nothing.."

"or it's something." Shizu added... as he put his hand on Toma's as he nodded.

"I'll take full responsibility. Regardless."

Toma felt her heart flutter as she pulled Shizu in for a hug. As she tried to catch her breath.

"I'm sorry."

Shizu smiled as he held on to her.

"you don't have anything to be sorry for. It's the situation we got ourselves in. So we'll face it together. God how is that going to work when we're in school?! What are we going to tell our teachers- oh fuck our parents."

Shizu held his head as he tried to contemplate a plan. When Toma placed her hand on Shizu's back.

"we'll figure it out."

Hana Senshi

Hana laid in Senshi's bed as she waited for Senshi to walk out of the shower, as he did, he came out clotheless, walking into the room for a change of clothes when Hana reacted immediately.

"oooo come to mama!" Hana said in a teasing tone, covering her eyes as she laughed.

"cover your eyes! Why are you even in here. I said I was gonna shower."

Hana sat up after hearing Senshi put on some pants as she laughed "oh you know hoping to see my boyfriend before we go fight the evil that plagues this world!"

Hana swung her fists in the air as Senshi paused, he thought long and hard for a second as he let out a sigh

"everything I've seen, witnessed these past few months is that you can't look at everything so black and white... I don't think that these people are inherently evil, but confused... angry... they want to make the world they live in a better place in the best way they see fit, but we're also defending the world we believe to be best fit for ourselves... I don't think we're fit to say they're an "evil plague."

Hana let out an "ooooo" sound as she sat up

"since when did you start thinking?! I thought your whole thing was muscles!!"

Senshi thought about the sports festival, and the things Michi said as he smiled.

"I've been trying to be more open minded about some things." Senshi said as he kissed Hana, before laying down in his bed.

"now, I'm going to sleep. You're welcome to join me, but no funny business."

Hana rolled her eyes.

"UGHHH you're such a virgin! No fun." Hana flopped back into the bed as she cuddled up to her boyfriend, holding onto him as she slowly drifted to sleep herself.

The morning

our heroes stomped out of the command building as they walked through the air walk. Over half of UA's hero students have dawned on their costumes as they stood before Karasu. Karasu activated his quirk as he muttered under his breath, "they're growing restless again."

"GO BACK TO YOUR ROOMS! WE HAVENT BEEN GIVING THE OKAY-"

"FUCK THE "OKAY" SIGN! WE'RE GOING TO FIGHT FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN!" Shouted a student as the rest cheered.

Fugu, Senshi, Shizu, Michi, and Hana stepped up to the front as Senshi walked forward with a determined look on his face.

"Step aside dad. Or I will make you."

"MAKE ME? MAKE ME?! I AM YOUR FATHER YOU UNGRATEFUL BRAT!"

Senshi moved forward as he yelled

"YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER, YOU'RE A COWARD IN HIS SHOES. STEP ASSIDE. I WONT SIT HERE KNOWING OTHERS ARE BEING HURT WHILE I LEISURE! NONE OF US WILL!"

Senshi pushed his father past his breaking point, when suddenly Karasu felt his quirk power down, as Aizawa, Midoriya, and Katsuki Bakugo walked towards the guard.

"it's time. There is no more time left to wait." Commanded Midoriya.

"but... we can't just..."

"we can. And we will."

Karasu slowly turned away from Midoriya, looking at Fugu. "You really think, an army that size can't take you, and these students down? You'll be killed in less than a month."

Fugu stepped up, as she smiled,

"Nah, We'll win."
