This was it… this was the moment they were waiting for. The time for excuses has come and gone and it was time to face their fears and move forward.

"Our parents are here, not only but we haven't even seen them in almost a decade. I knew we would see them soon, but I didn't think this soon not to mention we didn't plan on how we would approach them, nor did we even think about when we just blindly accepted All Might's and Nezu's suggestion—"

'He's doing it again.' Katsuki and Ochaco as they saw the death user walk in circles around the conference room.

"Deku, you need to stop pacing around." Ochaco said but was ignored as the boy continued muttering to himself as different expressions played across his face.

"For god's sake nerd, take a chill pill and calm the hell down." Katsuki growled, annoyed at seeing his childhood friend go into muttering mode. Being ignored, the blonde was tempted to smack him in the back of the head with an explosion as a growl escaped his throat.

It seems like Uraraka beat him to it as she walked to Izuku's line of sight and quickly did something that he did not expect her to do. She raised her hand and smack Izuku across the face out of his muttering mode before covering his mouth with the same hand, leaning her face into his with their noses barely touching.

"Izuku, calm down." She said softly as she removed her hand from his mouth. "At this rate, you're going to put a hole in the floor."

"I'm sorry… it's just…" Izuku paused for a moment before taking a deep breath. "Our parents. We haven't seen them for four years, and I feel nothing but anxiety from this."

"Why the hell would you feel that?" Katsuki asked.

"I'm happy because I get to see my mother again but… at the same time, I'm afraid of what I would be telling her. I mean I've always been a burden to her when I was quirkless and then getting kidnapped just made her extremely scared and worried. I mean…. What am I suppose to tell her, how am I suppose to tell her that her child is no longer the innocent boy she raised but now a failed experiment and a killer?" he said with a sullen look on his face.

This time Katsuki slapped him upside the head in an irritated manner with a growl before glaring at him.

"Katsuki." Ochaco yelled annoyed at his action but the blonde spoke before she could say anything else.

"Listen here you shitty nerd, you need to stop thinking with your brain and think with your heart. If anything, I know that Auntie will never see you for anything other than her son, she has loved and cared for you since you were born." He growled at him earning a stunned look from the greenette.

"Kacchan."

"My parents are the same as well, and as much as I act like an arrogant prick sometimes, I know they love me for anything but. Even though we shout and curse, we love each other all the same."

"He's right." Ochaco said taking a step forward and grasp Izuku's hand softly. "Though you are right that they may reject us and our new selves, we need to be ready. We need to think with our hearts and not with our heads, we need to be ready to embrace whatever feelings they have towards us." Ochaco stated with a steel look on her face. Inwardly, she was feeling scared and nervous just as much as Izuku was. She tell Katsuki was too, although they both know that he would never admit his feelings aloud and would say it differently in his own way.

"And you won't be alone, we'll be there with you. After all we're all meeting them at the same time." She reassured until Katsuki shook his head.

"No they won't, from what the bear-mouse principal said we're all going to be in different rooms when we see them again." He said earning wide looks from both teenagers.

"Oh."

"Yeah, oh." He repeated.

Silence entered the atmosphere as the teens pondered about the next set of scenarios that would play out in their heads. How would their parents react? Would they still love them for them or would they reject them because of what they are now? Would they be seen as the children they lost so long ago or monster born into the world?

All these questions played into their minds on repeat until the soft click of a doorknob was heard and a door opened into the small lounge, enter Nezu with two other teachers that they both recognized.

The first was a slender and tall man with shoulder-length black hair with half open black eyes. He was wearing a ragged black outfit consisting of a long-sleeved t-shirt and matching pants tucked into his boots with a scarf around his neck. The man looked like he had dry eyes and needed some sleep.

The second teacher was a curvaceous woman with long black hair and blue eyes. She was wearing a dominatrix like uniform, a black breastless leotard over a white bodysuit, emphasizing her breasts, body and legs along with black thigh-high stockings and black knee-boots. She had a handcuff on each wrist and a utility belt around her hips.

"Why do I feel like I've seen them before' Izuku thought to himself before Nezu spoke.

"Now then, before we get on to our scheduled meetings, let me introduce you three to some teachers. Meet Eraserhead and Midnight."

"Good evening." Shota said in a bored tone before pulling a juice pouch out of his sleeping bag and started sucking on it, making the three teens sweat drop at his intro.

'Way to make a first impression.' They all thought as the man continued drinking from the juice pouch.

"Nice to meet you three." Nemuri voiced as she introduced herself before eyeing all three of them from head to toe. Izuku instantly felt a shudder go through his body, while Ochaco eyed her warily and Katsuki simply scowled as his eyebrow twitched.

"They will be with you while you are talking to your parents, to subdue you just in case something happens." Nezu explain while eyeing Izuku, the latter knowing that it was him he was watching.

"Subdue?" Katsuki quirked an eyebrow in question until Ochaco answered him.

"We can worry about that later, but can we please see our parents now. I don't think I can wait patiently anymore." She said as she started rubbing her arm, as the bear mouse nodded at her request.

"Of course, now that everyone is here, let's go reunite you with your families." He said with a chipper tone, raising his right paw in the air.

Izuku was in one of the empty lounges that the school had, pacing back and forth in the room waiting for his mother to come here. Eraserhead told him to wait while he went to retrieve his mother, and to be honest, the anxiety was killing him.

He was terrified out of his mind, seeing his mother again made him wonder what would happen and how would she react. What if she didn't love him anymore or doesn't see him as the same boy, she lost years ago.

'No. I can't think like that.' He thought as he slapped his cheeks and shook his head. He had to remember what Katsuki told him, his mom loves him wholeheartedly. He's basically her world and wouldn't see him anything but… but at the same time he also had to ponder on what Ochaco said, he had to be ready to embrace her feelings of rejection if she doesn't accept him for who he is now.

He was brought out of his train of thought when a voice echoed in the room.

"…Izuku..."

The said boy froze at hearing his name being called, and by a voice he hadn't heard in years. It wasn't Ochaco, Tsuyu, Katsuki or Eri calling him, it was her.

"Izuku… is that you…?" she called out once more. Izuku started slowly panting as he turned around to meet someone and his eyes widened in shock at who he was seeing.

Right there, standing in front of the door was the matriarch of the Midoriya family. Inko Midoriya. She was staring at her son with a hand covering her mouth and her eyes watering at the sight of her son.

Izuku stared at Inko's form as they were still frozen in time. She still had that slim form from before when he was taken, but he saw the dark circles under her eyes. It looked like she never got any sleep from when he went missing.

Looking into her eyes, he could see how much pain she was put through all because he was taken from her, and he hated to know how much more pain that he would put her through when he tells her what had happened to him.

He was staring at her for so long that he never even noticed that she moved slowly towards him, each step heavy than the last as if she was about to collapse to her knees.

Inko couldn't believe it. After many years of searching and endless weight of self-hate and guilt, she had finally found him. She had found her little green pea, her sweet little Izuku. The son she thought she lost forever, the son she wanted back so much.

Slowly she reached out a hand towards his right cheek and let out a shaky breath as her hand made contact. He was real, and he was here in front of her, not an illusion or a hallucination. She then let out a small gasp as her hand felt warmth as Izuku shakily placed his own hand over hers and his breath also got shaky as his eyes glistened.

"Hi… Mom…" he said slowly as tears started rolling down his cheeks faster than he could wipe them away. Inko did nothing more than wrap her around him and pulling him into her chest, letting her chin rest atop of his head. Her own tears went down faster than his as she felt him return the hug and started sobbing into her chest, causing her tears to flow even faster and let out convulsive gasps.

His voice, she hasn't heard his voice in so damn long that that she felt huge relief and joy inside her when he spoke. He was back with her.

"Izuku! My baby!" she cried her heart out as she tightened her hold on him, afraid that he would disappear if she let go. Feeling him return the gesture, made her heart warm even more and the life in her eyes returned as they sat there on the floor and the sadness, they had of never seeing each other again left their bodies.

"I've missed you! I've missed you so much Izuku!" Inko sobbed, not caring if her voice was any louder than normal or if anybody heard her. The only thing that mattered to her right now was her baby, and she raised hell on earth to anybody that tried to separate him from her.

"I've missed you too." Izuku said with a muffled reply as he continued to cry into her arms.

Katsuki sat in the room against the wall on the far side of the room. He was afraid to be anywhere near the door when Midnight had return with his parents.

His hands were shaking, no smoke coming off them or sparks popping off like they were about to go off. No, his hands were shaking with fear. He was afraid, he would never admit but he was afraid like hell with seeing his parents again.

In fact, it was one of the few things he was afraid of in life. His parents being at the top of the list. He just wish that they wouldn't see him any differently.

"Katsuki."

The said blonde flinched at hearing his own name being called as he looked up and saw two people he hadn't seen in years.

Mitsuki and Masuru had their eyes full of shock as they saw their son looking at them from the wall. The matriarch made her way over and when she was near him, she gently went onto her knees and slowly trace her son's figure with her eyes. She could see that he's grown a bit from the last time she saw him.

Reaching a hand out towards him, she went for his hair but was caught off guard when he caught her wrist. Thinking that he was going to yell at her, she simply waited for him to speak but what he did next was completely unexpected from both parents.

Katsuki let go of her wrist only to slip his hand into her own before clutching them towards his chest as a let out a shaky breath. Slowly he looked up and they both his eyes started to glisten as he tried to wipe them away with his forearm, not wanting to show weakness.

"Old—hag… Mom…. Dad." He said as both parents' hearts clenched at hearing his voice once again with tears starting to form in their eyes. "I guess… I let myself get captured too easy, didn't I?"

Mitsuki didn't say anything as she brought her son into her arms and buried her head into his shoulder, Masaru joined in wrapping his arms around them both, crying as well. They both shuddered as they felt Katsuki wrapped his arms around them the best he could before he started crying his heart out.

They never noticed Midnight leaving the room or seeing the smile that played onto her lips.

Ochaco was already into her parents' arms and crying happy tears as they held her tightly. Her father Hiroshichi and her mother Nanako didn't even waste time in hugging their daughter. As soon as they heard their little girl was alive, they immediately rushed to UA as soon as possible.

They even surprised to learn that their daughter was at UA off all things, they wanted to know how she got there and what she was doing, but question like those could come later. Right now, the only thing that mattered was their daughter in their arms, safe and sound.

"Mom! Dad! I missed you so much!" Ochaco sobbed as she buried her face into her mother's shoulder.

"Ochaco, my sweet little tea child, I'm so glad your okay!" the matriarch sobbed hugging her daughter tightly.

"Home, my little girl is finally home! Nanako, we've finally found her." Hiroshichi sobbed happily as Nanako nodded her head, both reinforcing their hold on Ochaco as she let out more tears at hearing her parents' voices.

While waiting for the others, Tsuyu and Eri were in Nezu's office with the bear mouse sitting on the desk across from them happily drinking his tea.

"Would care for some more tea miss Asui?" Nezu offered her.

"No thank you, but I do appreciate the offer." She kindly refused as she shook her head. "I wonder how everyone's doing with their reunions." A sad smile made its way to her lips. "It must be nice, seeing the ones you love again after such a long time."

Nezu remained silent as he set down his cup of tea. He had read over the files of the teens when they arrived in the entrance exam. Her family was cut down in a home invasion while she was taken away to become the experiment and host of Pestilence, one of the four horsemen of Apocalypse. He could see that she dearly missed her family but something about the incident feels off.

Going over the files, he's read over of how each of them were kidnapped. Izuku was kidnapped in a hospital when he was alone, Katsuki was kidnapped in broad daylight when he wandered off a bit too far from the common area while Ochaco and Tsuyu were taken at night in a home invasion.

But that's where things got weird. Both girls were kidnapped in the middle of the night but somehow one lost her family while the others was left unharmed. The reason for this, he is unsure. Could it have been favoritism, a kidnapping gone wrong perhaps?

No, the kidnappers weren't stupid. They knew how and when to take the kids so why did the Asui family die the night Tsuyu was kidnapped? Why were they the exception?

All important questions, and he'll receive those answers from them when the time is right, for now let's just focus on comforting the frog girl.

"Miss Asui," he called out gaining her attention. "I am sorry for loss. While I may not have any family members of my own, I have seen how it can affect those who have loss something precious to them. But you should not let this loss linger in your mind forever." Nezu spoke with a sage tone.

"Yes, you have loss one family through a horrible event, but in the process you gained another have you not?" Tsuyu nodded her head at his question. "Then that's what you should focus on. The past is not what matters, nor the future, but the present." He said laying a paw on the frog girl's leg. "The here and now is what counts the most and the important part of life. You can linger in the past all you want but never let it drag you down and affect your life, instead learn from it and aim to become strong."

Tsuyu looked at the bear mouse in awe as she thought about his words. He was right, the more she kept bringing up the past it was going to get the better of her and prevent her from doing what she wanted. She had trained these past ten months to become stronger not just for the others but for herself as well. She doesn't want anyone else to go through what she had too, no child to lose their parents nor witness their brutal killing.

"You're right. Thank you principal Nezu, I glad you gave me this pep talk."

"No need for formalities Tsuyu, if it's okay with you that I call you by your first name."

"H-Hai, principal- I mean, Nezu-san." Tsuyu stuttered while blushing as the bear mouse smiled.

"That's better. Now why don't go on ahead and meet up with the others shall we?" he said as he walked over to the door. Tsuyu picked up Eri into her arms as the latter remained silent, the former gently smiled at her before following Nezu to the common rooms where her family was at.

In the city, up an alleyway it was quiet and not at all very dark. In the middle of the dead end, there were a few bodies all around. Some on the ground with their blood pooling all around their corpse or another set hanging on the wall with cuts all over the figures, blood staining their clothes.

In the middle of it all, stood a girl with pale dirty blonde hair styled in two messy buns wearing a plain seifuku with a Kansai collar underneath a and oversized tan cardigan and long black socks with brown loafers.

Toga Himiko was her name as she stared at her work with a frown. Seeing that there was too much blood and that she lacked control of her habits, again.

"And that's another one. I went overboard again and as usual their blood wasn't as tasty as I thought it would be nor do they look good in it." She pouted as she left the alleyway with a poor taste in her mouth heading home.

That's the third time this month that she has gone on a killing spree and none of her victims had tasty blood within them, if anything it was all plain and bitter. Toga growled as she went into frustration as stabbed a wall near her planting her knife in it, leaving a small crack in it. Taking the knife out, she let out a huge sigh to calm herself down before continuing to make her way home.

Coming to an abandoned apartment, she opened the door and announced herself home.

"Tadaima!" she said taking her loafers off and walked into the living room before sitting down on the couch. The room and floors were completely stained red with blood from the last people that died here, she would know… after all she is the one who killed them. She was on one of her crazy blood drives from where she tried to go for a least a month without the need to consume blood, worst mistake ever.

She ended up killing all over Japan, mostly street thugs and criminals before it escalated to innocent people.

Deciding not to think about the past, she decided to lay down on the couch wanting to take a nap as she took off her cardigan and used it as a pillow.

"*Sigh* this sucks, there's no good blood out there that can keep me normal for a long time period, the ones I've been cutting open lately are either bitter or plain. And it's making me lose control of myself again."

'Aw, don't be sad Himiko. Once I'm in control everything will be A-ok.'

"Shut up Hime, I don't need you talking in my head right now. I just want to go to sleep." Toga voiced coldly at the other half of herself as the voice just let out a laugh.

'Aw, isn't that cute? Little Himiko talking back to me after years of obeying my every command. Well it's not like you changed much, not until after Daddy started hitting you.'

"I am not his slave, I was never his slave." She growled venomously at Hime.

'No but you are my slave.' Hime pointed out, and Toga could swear that she could see the other girl's evil smile in front of her. 'After all, if it wasn't for me you wouldn't even be alive right now.'

"Shut Up! Leave me alone already! I don't want to hear your damn voice anymore then I have to right now, so just shut up and leave me in peace!" Toga shouted in anger as the voice in her head just sighed at her behavior.

'Fine, fine be that way. I'll just talk to you when you've calmed down and stop acting like a child. So, get some sleep and rest up, because the next time we go out… I'm gonna have some fun! Hehehehe~' Hime teased as her voice faded away from Toga's thoughts.

Once she was gone, Toga let out a huge sigh of relief and laid her head back on her cardigan. She didn't have to deal with her inner personality right now, until the next time she popped up out of nowhere. She really needs to find some blood that can saturate her hunger long enough before it completely consumes her.

But that was a longshot.

The only person to give her that kind of blood was her friend, her only friend. The brunette she bumped into and was given help for her mental state, but she hasn't seen her for about two years. This person offered Toga her blood to help her keep her sanity, and it worked. It was able to help maintain her sanity and from thinking like a psycho for about two months before she reverted to her old self. She never even got to thank her, but she was able to get her name at least.

"Ochaco, I wish I knew where you were at… I wanna see you again, and I… I…" Toga stopped at her cheeks became flushed at what she was trying to say. Realizing what was going on, she lightly slapped her cheeks and groaned into her cardigan.

"Not the time to think about that Toga, it's time to go to sleep." She muffled before turning her body sideways to stare at the window into the outside world. Toga let out a soft sigh before closing her eyes, letting sleep take her as she thought about the brunette that she had made friends with.

And wanted nothing more than to see her again.

Nezu opened the door to the common room where everyone was held up. Izuku, Katsuki and Ochaco along with their parents. Seeing all of them together he knew that this was the opportunity to discuss their agreements on if they want their children in U.A.

Beside him was Eri and Tsuyu, the former still asleep in the latter's arms. Tsuyu let out a small croak as she made her to sit by Katsuki and his parents.

"Hi Katsuki."

"Hey Tsuyu." He replied as he noticed Eri in her arms. "Unicorn out like a light again, huh?"

"Mmhm. She's been asleep ever since the entrance exam, ribbit." Tsuyu replied as Mitsuki came over and wrapped an arm around her son with a sly grin on her face.

"Wow that's new Katsuki."

"What are you going on about, mom!?" Katsuki said as he noticed the look on his mother's face.

"Aw, come on Katsuki, you think I haven't noticed~" she started as she pinched his right cheek. "Right off the bat, you didn't insult her and called her by her name. Her given name."

'Oh shit!' Katsuki cursed as he knew what his mother was about to.

"Katsuki, my little hellfire is in love!" Mitsuki said as the boy earned a tick mark on his head while Tsuyu began blushing and turned red white stuttering.

"You old hag!" Katsuki yelled as he and Mitsuki butted heads, both trying to overpower the other as fire ran in the background with Masaru trying to break them up.

On the other side, Izuku and Ochaco were laughing at their expense.

"I guess Kacchan really missed his mother."

"Wow I know he said he fights with his mother a lot, at first I thought it was bad but now seeing the interaction between them I think it's kinda funny." Ochaco laughed as she clutched her sides.

"Well that's Mitsuki for you," Inko said with a nervous laugh. "Always picking a fight with each other as their normal banter. Though I do wonder, sometimes if they go too far."

"That's actually pretty interesting to watch." Hiroshichi says in curiosity while Nanako let out a few giggles.

"It's nice to see you all acquainted with each other as usual." Nezu spoke up gaining everyone's attention.

"Now let us discuss the terms and residence of where you five will be staying at and see if you still want to go to UA and become heroes."

Author's Note: Heyo! We are back on track with Project Apocalypse. Okay so I know I said I would do about 7 to 8k words when they get in UA, but I will do it in the next chapter.
