Kendo's footsteps echoed as she made her way through the empty halls of UA. The lack of noise around her was a stark contrast to what was going on inside her head. Questions and concerns swirled as they ate away at her.

Ever since their time at the beach, Kendo hadn't seen Midoriya. That wasn't because of a lack of chances, no Kendo had actively gone out of her way not to see him. Truth be told she wanted to see him. She wanted to ask him all these questions that had been eating her alive. She needed to know if she was just being paranoid, because she found out about what Midoriya was.

When he told her everything at the beach she originally had thought nothing of it, but the more she thought about it the greater her concern grew. They eventually boiled over which had brought her to where she was now. Standing in front of Midnight's office.

Taking a deep breath, Kendo debated one last time if she really needed to do this. With a deep sigh she knocked on the door, immediately dreading what was to come. She stood there for a moment before a voice came from the other side.

"Come in."

Taking one last deep breath Kendo entered the room to find Midnight standing by the counter making some tea. Much to Kendos surprise Midnight wasn't in her hero uniform, but normal street clothes. Seeing her dressed normally somehow managed to relax Kendo slightly.

"Sorry for coming in over the break."

Midnight smiled gently as she poured herself a cup of tea. "It's fine, I have to be here anyways so your company is welcomed. Would you like a cup as well?"

"Uh, yes. Thank you."

Midnight nodded as she began to fix a second cup. "Just give me a moment. Why don't you have a seat and tell me what's on your mind."

Kendo flinched slightly, which didn't go unnoticed by Midnight, before sitting down. "Was it that obvious that something was on my mind?"

Midnight sat across from her and set a second cup in front of Kendo. "Very. You're a high school girl with a boyfriend on summer vacation. Do I need to spell it out for you?"

Kendo began to twirl the end of her ponytail to calm her nerves. Seeing this Midnight let out a sigh.

"Something happened between the two of you didn't it?"

Kendo froze and stopped messing with her hair. She could only give a soft nod for a response.

Straightening up Midnight took a sip of her tea. "I'm guessing you found something out about him and when you finally processed it you realized you don't know how you feel about it."

Kendo's eyes widened as she stared in confusion. "How… how did you know that?"

Setting her tea down Midnight held up a finger. "One, you're not absolutely seething with rage or crying hysterically so it's obvious he didn't cheat on you or break up with you." She put up a second finger. "Two, you don't seem annoyed or frustrated so that tells me it wasn't a fight or disagreement." She held up a third finger. "Three, you flinched when I asked you to tell me what was on your mind and coupled that with the twirling of your hair, that tells me that you're anxious about something." She held up a fourth finger. "Fourth, let's just call it a woman's intuition. I was once a teenager in love myself. I've experienced all the emotions you have and some."

Kendo froze as she stared at Midnight, completely flabbergasted. "You got all that just from the past minute and half?"

Midnight smiled as she picked up her cup. "I have been doing this for a while and I'm also a licensed therapist. So tell me, what's on your mind?"

Kendo took her cup and sipped it before staring into the liquid. "All of this is in confidence right?"

Midnight nodded. "Of course."

Kendo took a deep breath as she set her cup back down. "I don't know what to think of Izuku anymore. Ever since we went to the beach I don't know what to think of him anymore. I don't know if I truly know the real him or if I am only seeing a facade. I mean I still love him and want to be with him, but I don't know what to do."

Midnight put up her hand. "Stop. Slow down and take a deep breath. Then start from what happened at the beach."

Kendo took a couple deep breaths before continuing. "After the exams some people from our class planned a beach day to celebrate the end of exams. Naturally I invited Izuku, because we wouldn't have that much time together over the summer thanks to his schedule and the summer camp. We had just got there and we're about to go swimming, but Izuku kept his shirt on. He told everyone that it was because he has sensitive skin. I knew he was lying because he's a mechanic and I've seen him work outside all day without any issues. I don't know why he thought it was a good idea, but Tetsutetsu ripped off Izuku's shirt. That's when everyone saw it."

Midnight listened intently as she observed all of Kendos movements. "What did everyone see?"

Kendo clenched her fists as she stared at the ground. "His tattoo."

Midnight raised an eye, intrigued by what she had heard. "Did you know about this tattoo beforehand?"

Kendo shook her head.

"He is the same age as you, right?"

Kendo nodded.

"Are we talking about a normal tattoo or a-"

"It's a Yakuza tattoo. He's in the Yakuza. He said he'd be out soon, but how long is soon? A week? A month? Years?"

Kendo placed her head into her hands as she slowly shook it back and forth. Seeing the girl clearly distraught, Midnight moved next to her and gently rubbed Kendo's back.

"I'm sure that must have been quite the shock. It's no wonder you're so conflicted."

Kendo nodded before looking up at Midnight. "That's not even the worst part. He told me he had killed people before and I just accepted it. He had told me before that he wasn't a good person, but I told him I'd help him become the good person I knew he could be. I don't even know if I can do that anymore, but I still want to try."

Midnight let out a deep sigh. "Kendo, have you talked to him about all this since the day at the beach?"

"No, I didn't know exactly how to bring it up."

Midnight put a finger over her mouth as she decided how to best approach the situation. After a minute of silence she turned to Kendo with a gentle smile.

"Well you should definitely talk to him about all of this, preferably sooner than later, but I think it will all work out."

Kendo looked at Midnight surprised. "You do?"

Midnight nodded. "Yeah, from what I've seen and heard from Vlad, you've got a good head on your shoulders. When the going gets tough you always make the best decision with the information you have. Trust your gut Kendo, what is it telling you?"

Kendo stopped and stared at her hands. She could feel the warmth of Midoriya's hands and the comfort they brought her. She thought about the time they spent together and how she always smiled while she was with him. That same smile spread across her face as she looked up at Midnight. "I can help him. No. I will help him. I gave him my word so I'll definitely stay by his side."

Midnight smiled at her response. "Very good, but you need to remember we can only help those who want to be helped."

"Yes ma'am."

Midnight let out a deep sigh as she leaned back into the couch. "Who would have thought that the son of Hisashi Midoriya would be in the Yakuza?"

Kendo's eyes widened as she heard Midoriya's fathers name. "Wait, how do you know about his parents!?"

Midnight looked over at Kendo confused. "I told you that I met him before. Well I was with Nezu and the two of them had a chat and he ended up telling Nezu his story. Has he not told you about all that?"

"I know bits and pieces, but I've never pried too far. It seems like a sensitive subject. I just don't understand why he would tell the principal all this when they just met."

"It can be hard to talk about things like this to your friends or someone you're romantically interested in. At your age you want to be seen for who you are and accepted, if he had told you all that the first day it may have come off as you pitying him. It can sometimes be easier saying more to people you never see again, because their opinions don't matter."

Kendo sat in silence for a minute before sighing. "I guess that makes sense."

Midnight gently patted Kendo's back. "You know it's ok to push from time to time. As long as you accept boundaries and don't force your way in everything should be fine."

"I know, but sometimes it feels weird."

"That's because you value what he thinks of you. Alright Kendo, I'm challenging you to bring all this up to your boyfriend before the summer ends. Let him know what you've been thinking about and ask for all details about his past. I'm certain that what he tells you will put your mind at ease."

Kendo smiled as she got up from the couch. "Thank you Ms. Midnight. Just being able to speak to you about everything really helped clear my head."

Midnight returned the smile as she stood up as well. "My door is always open for anyone who needs someone to lend an ear."

"I'll remember that."

Kendo made her way to the door, but was stopped by Midnight before she could open it.

"Sorry Kendo, I just have two more questions."

Kendo looked at Midnight confused but accepted the fact that their talk wasn't over. "Ok, what are they?"

"Has he told you any crimes he is currently committing?"

Kendo raised an eye, even more confused. "No?"

"What about any future crimes?"

Kendo froze at Midnight's question. Her eyes widened as she remembered what Midoriya said at the beach. Without realizing it she began to twirl the end of her ponytail. Seeing this, Midnight looked at Kendo with anticipation.

"Kendo, he told you something didn't he?"

Kendo increased the pace at which she twirled the bed of her ponytail. "He… he said he was going to kill the person that killed his parents."

Midnight took a deep breath before pulling Kendo into her arms. "Everything will be fine Kendo."

Kendo leaned in slightly. "Thank you… Is… is there a reason you asked about that?"

"Kendo, I don't think you need me to tell you how delicate of a situation you are in right now. I just want you to know that I'll be by your side whenever you need me."

Kendo looked up at her, not fully satisfied by her answer. "I.. thanks."

Midnight let go of Kendo so that she could finally leave. A few minutes after Kendo left Midnight sat down on the couch and held her head in her hands. "Itsuka Kendo, what have you gotten yourself into?"

Midnight let go of her head and let out a deep sigh. As much as she wished she didn't have to do this, she knew what needed to be done. Leaving her office she made her way to Principal Nezu's office. With a final deep breath she entered to find him happily shuffling through files.

"What can I do for you today Kayama?"

"I just had a conversation with Itsuka Kendo from 1-B."

"Ah, I wonder what she could possibly have needed." Nezu set his files down and looked up at Midnight to see her strained expression. "Oh my, I wonder what could have caused that look."

Midnight sat across from him and held her head again. "Sir there's someone we need to keep an eye on."

Nezu raised an eye as he put his paws together. "I'm listening."

Midoriya sat alone in his apartment in Tokyo, he was sitting on the terrace overlooking the city's skyline. On his table sat a file with all the information on the recruits. He had asked Giren for anything he had on them so he could utilize them to their full potential.

He knew what needed to be done.

Midoriya's phone pinged, drawing his attention away from the file. Kendo had messaged him. While they still talked daily, Midoriya noticed that Kendo was avoiding him. He wasn't surprised, after dropping a bombshell of information he suspected she'd need time to process everything.

Itsuka: "This training camp is hell. I'm definitely gonna sleep an entire day when I get home."

Izuku: "It's only the first day. How bad could it be?"

Itsuka: "We started training first thing in the morning and didn't stop till dinner. We had one break for lunch and we had to cook all our meals. The only good thing is the open air bath."

Izuku: "Wow, I'm so glad I don't have to deal with all that."

Itsuka: "Shut up and let me vent."

Izuku: "Fine."

Itsuka: "They made me punch a mountain. The entire day I punched a mountain and guess what I'll be doing the same thing the rest of the week. They tried to cheer us up by telling us about the test of courage they have planned tomorrow night, but it's gonna be hard to test people who are dead."

Izuku: "Why did they make you punch a mountain?"

Itsuka: "It's supposed to strengthen my hands so they're tougher. Is that really all you took from what I said?"

Izuku: "No, I noticed you didn't complain about Monama."

Itsuka: "That's because he's on the other side of the mountain and he's stuck in remedial classes at night."

Izuku: "Just take the small victories to help you move forward."

Itsuka: "Like the softness of my pillow that's telling me to sleep."

Izuku: "Exactly."

Itsuka: "If only it was that easy. Hey…You'll be in town the day I get back right?"

Izuku: "Yeah, I'm not leaving for Osaka until Sunday morning."

Itsuka: "Ok, would you mind picking me up the day I get back then?"

Izuku: "Sure. Did you want to ride or take the train?"

Itsuka: "The train, I was hoping we could talk on the way back."

Izuku: "Alright, just let me know what time you'll get back."

Itsuka: "I'll do that. Well I'm gonna listen to my pillow now and go to sleep."

Izuku: "Goodnight Itsuka."

Itsuka: "Goodnight Izuku. I love you."

Izuku: "I love you too."

Midoriya sighed deeply as he set his phone down. He truly didn't want to have to do this, but at this point he had no choice. He knew that the answer he had been searching for was within reach. He could feel it in his very core, he just had to play along for a little while longer.

His phone pinged again, but this time it was from Kurogiri. With one last sigh he stood up and grabbed the files and his phone. Back inside his apartment he opened his safe and took some of the money from inside it. As if on cue Kurogiri's portal opened just as the safe's door closed. After lighting his mask, Midoriya made his way through the portal.

On the other side Midoriya found himself in a warehouse. It wasn't the one All for One resided in, but the air in the room was still filled with the same unsettling aura. Just as he had taken in his environment, he felt a weight on his back and two arms around his neck.

"Phoenix, what took you so long!? I was getting so bored!"

Midoriya removed her arms from him as he sent a piercing glare towards her. "Please don't do that again."

Toga licked her lips ferally. "I'm not afraid of getting burned."

"Child, please compose yourself." Mr. Compress walked over and placed a hand on her head. "Sorry, she's like a hyperactive dog, but instead of fidgeting she tries to stab you. I've already confiscated three knives from her."

Mr. Compress held up three marbles, each holding one of her knives. Midoriya raised an eye.

"Why was she trying to stab everyone?"

Mr. Compress cleared his throat. "She was trying to and I quote, 'she what pretty blood we have.' I truly think having her around is a liability."

Toga groaned as she looked up at him. "Awww don't be like that. Everyone has really pretty and tasty blood."

Pinching the bridge of his nose, Midoriya shook his head. "That's something we'll think about later. Right now I need to go over the plan for tomorrow with everybody."

Everyone else in the room looked up, their interest had been peaked. Slowly they made their way to where Midoriya was, while keeping a safe distance.

"Finally, it's time for some action. Who are we gonna kill?"

"We're not killing anyone, Muscular. We're kidnapping someone, a UA student to be exact. Right now all the Hero Course first years at UA are at a summer training camp. We're going to capture one of them."

"So I can't stab them?"

Midoriya ignored Toga's outburst and continued on with the plan.

"The student we are after is Neito Monama. He's nothing special in all honesty. He's loud, arrogant, and has a superiority complex. His quirk allows him to copy up to three people's quirks that he's touched. This effect only lasts a few minutes; he'll have to touch someone again to get their quirk."

"How do you expect us to capture a student that can copy our quirks?"

"That's simple Big Sis Mag, Twice is the key."

"Me! Awesome!" "I don't want to be the key! That's too much pressure!"

"It's alright, all you have to do is make a copy of Dabi and Mr. Compress. The copy of Mr. Compress will put himself into a marble that the copy of Dabi will be carrying in his pocket. There's a building that has a remedial class for a select few students. The clone of Dabi will break in and cause panic. They have two pros teaching the class so they will naturally try and stop him. Right when they get on him, he'll throw the marble at Monama. That's when the copy of Mr. Compress comes out and puts Monama in a marble. He'll then escape back into the forest where the real Mr. Compress is. The marble holding Monama will be given to the real Mr. Compress and the fake will be a distraction letting us safely escape."

"I see, that sounds most effective, but what if I can't release the quirk of the copy?"

"… Then have the copy release it and then you put him back in before he can react."

"Ah.. that uh… that makes… I'll be quiet."

"Thank you. Now, while they're doing the kidnapping, we'll be running a distraction. They do have a few pros who aren't teachers helping out so we need to keep their attention. Mustard will go off to the forest and spread his gas around. The students will be knocked unconscious. The real Dabi will set fire to the other side of the forest to split their focus. Everyone else will just be causing havoc. You're free to kill the Pro's, but the students are off limits."

Dabi raised his arm in the air. "I have a question. Why are you so adamant about us not killing the students? Wouldn't killing the students help bring around the end of hero society faster?"

"It could, but it may also strengthen the resolve of current heroes. Revenge is one hell of a motivator and I doubt you want All Might coming after you because you killed his students."

"Fair enough, but wouldn't us taking a student do the same?"

"To some extent yes, but with this we're aiming to demoralize the entire hero course and break the faith of the public. Imagine the despair they'll fall into knowing that we let them live. I've already seen and heard first hand accounts of the effects the USJ attack had. Something of this scale will break them completely."

Dabi cracked a smile. "You're one sadistic fuck."

"No he's not. If he was, he'd have us kill them all one at a time in front of the kid we're taking and then let him be the only one that survives."

Midoriya's mask flared up as he sent a glare towards Muscular. "If you even think about hurting the students I'll kill you myself."

Muscular smiled widely as muscle fibers began to wrap around his arms. "I'd like to see you try, because I plan to kill anybody who crosses my path."

The flames on Midoriya's mask calmed down as he took a deep breath. Seeing Midoriya calm down Muscular smirked thinking he had won. Just as the enlarged muscle fibers had returned to normal a snap echoed through the warehouse and flames erupted from Musculars good eye.

Muscular began to flail around the room blindly trying to find where Midoriya was. His screams filled the room as everyone else backed away from him. Midoriya snapped again and the flames intensified as they covered his entire body. Muscular tried to combat the flames by expanding his muscle fibers, but Midoriya continued to increase the flames each time. After five minutes the giant fireball that was Muscular collapsed, a charred corpse. Everyone else looked over to Midoriya, who's eyes were dead.

"Does anyone else want to try and kill the students?"

None of them gave an answer.

"Good. Kurogiri, open a portal to the bar for me, I owe Shigaraki some money."

"Right away."

Kurogiri's portal began to swirl behind Midoriya as he stared down at the charred corpse of Muscular. After one last deep breath he locked eyes with Mr. Compress.

"Oh yeah, Mr. Compress, can people get inside hear what's said on the outside?

"To an extent, yes. It's very muffled as if they're hearing underwater. The bigger issue is sight. Even though the marbles are blue, you can see outside perfectly when inside."

"Alright, don't talk to me once we release Monama. Some of these students know my voice and I can't have my identity being exposed. Is that clear?"

Mr. Compress straightened up and saluted. "Crystal sir."

"Good. I'll see you all tomorrow."

With that Midoriya made his way through the portal. On the other side he found Shigaraki playing one of his games. He didn't even bother to put it down as he heard Midoriya approach.

"How did the briefing go?"

Midoriya reached into his pocket and pulled out the money he had grabbed from his safe. He dropped it directly in front of Shigaraki so he had to see it.

"Here's the fee for Muscular."

Shigaraki narrowed his eyes as he gently set his game down. "You killed him?"

"Yep?"

"Why?"

"He wouldn't follow directions. He was a liability to the group. Also he set a fine example for the rest of them. I don't expect any of them to try anything funny for now."

Shigaraki sighed before picking his game up again. "Fine. Also before you go, the Master wanted to see you for some reason."

Midoriya looked up with anticipation. This could be the moment he had been waiting for. He could feel his heart rate increase as he made his way through Kurogiri's portal. He was hoping that everything he had worked for would be coming to an end.

The anticipation that he was feeling had completely blocked out the usual suffocating aura that he felt when he stood before All for One. Though it couldn't be seen, he could feel a smile starting to creep across his face. With each step he took he grew more and more hopeful that he would finally get the name of the person who had killed his pants.

"Ah, welcome Phoenix. That was quite the show you put on back there. I truly enjoy the sight of a calm rage. It's an art that only truly strong people can pull off."

"Thank you, but I'm surprised you're fine with me killing potential members."

All for One laughed as he leaned into his chair. "Come now Phoenix, we both know that you planned to use one of them as an example from the beginning. Truthfully I expected you to use Moonfish, but Muscular was a fine choice as well."

"The mission isn't over yet. I expect a couple of them won't make it back."

"Ah yes, I actually have a small request for the mission. It's nothing major, I just want us to capture a certain pro hero as well."

"Of course, it sounds simple enough. Would you like for me to do a song and dance routine as well?"

"Come not Phoenix, there's no need to be sarcastic. I know I'm asking a lot, that's why I had this made specifically for you."

All for One tossed a small remote towards Midoriya. The remote didn't look like anything fancy. It has a couple buttons on it and what looked like a place to speak into.

"What's this for?"

"Why don't you press that bottom button and find out."

Midoriya eyed the remote before looking back at All for One. The man's calm and cold smile left an eerie feeling in the air. With a deep sigh Midoriya pushed the button.

The sound of lumbering footsteps began to echo through the room accompanied by the occasional sound of metal being hit. From the shadows emerged a Nomu, it looked to be about the same size as the ones that were set loose in Hosu City. It lumbered itself towards Midoriya but came to a stop a few feet away from him.

"That right there Phoenix is a Nomu that will listen to whatever you say. Given that you possess the remote. Pressing that bottom button will automatically summon it to the location of the remote. The top bottom however activates the microphone. You can give it more specific instructions that it will follow."

Midoriya looked down at the remote and back to Nomu before smiling and pressing the top button. "Nomu, sit."

Instantly the creature sat on the ground and didn't move. Seeing this, Midoriya's eyes lit up like a child who just got a new toy on Christmas. He turned to All for One with more excitement than he had expected.

"I'm guessing this is what you want me to use to capture that pro?"

All for One nodded. "Yes, I want you to capture the pro hero Ragdoll. Her quirk will be quite useful for Tomura in the future."

"Do I need to show it a picture or will it know the name?"

"The name of every active pro in Japan has been programmed into its mind, so it will know exactly who you're talking about. Just please be specific about taking her alive."

"I can do that. Do I need to know about the quirks it has or does that really matter at the moment?"

All for One shrugged before tapping the armrest of his chair. "I don't think it should matter, but the doctor seemed to enjoy making this one. He said its combinations were like something out of a horror movie. Honestly it's fitting for an attack that takes place the night of a test of courage."

Midoriya held the remote tightly before putting it into his pocket. "I'll keep that in mind. Is there anything else you need before I go?"

All for One's smile grew as he leaned forward. "Actually I do have one more thing. Just this morning I got confirmation on the person who killed your parents."

Midoriya's eyes widened in shock. "You what?"

All for One's smile continued to grow until it became cheshire. "You heard me. You wouldn't believe the shock I got when I heard who it was. I actually had them double check it multiple times just to make sure I heard them correctly."

Midoriya began to grow inpatient. The name of the person who he had been looking for was finally found and all that was standing between him and it was a single man.

"I don't need all the theatrics. Just give me the name."

All for One's smile dropped instantly, turning the room cold. "You don't make the demands here boy. We agreed that you would work for this information and from where I'm sitting you still haven't fulfilled your part yet."

"What do you mean I haven't fulfilled my part?! I got you the lead on All Might teaching at UA!"

"Which my inside man would have found out in due time."

"I was at the USJ!"

"Where you killed one of our members."

"I introduced you to Kai and set up a potential source of revenue for the future."

"That was mainly to suit your needs, the fact that it benefited us as well was mere luck. Also nothing has been confirmed with that yet."

"The Hero Killer, I used my time with him to trick the public into thinking he was with us. That misinformation caused these new recruits to flock to us. I also managed to get rid of him without breaking the illusion."

"While I can't deny the fact that that was a major turning point for Tomura, it still isn't enough. You see we stand to lose so much once you get this information. I need an equal trade at the very least."

Midoriya clenched his fists as he struggled to hold his flames under control. The thing he had longed for was just dangled in front of him, but it was just out of reach. Relief, annoyance, anticipation, all these emotions and so many more swirled around inside him, but the one at the forefront was rage.

"Now Phoenix, I consider myself a reasonable man. If this mission goes well I may just be willing to call things even. That is if certain conditions are met."

Midoriya answered without hesitation. "What are they?"

All for One held up a single finger. "First, I want Ragdoll captured alive." He held up a second finger. "Second, Nomu must make it back. They take time to create and we can't afford to have another one killed or worse captured." He held up a third finger. "Third, this job is a test for those recruits. When it's over I need your honest opinion if they are worth keeping. If they are, then that meets the condition."

"Fine, but once Monama is captured I'm leaving. I can't risk him recognizing me."

"That's more than fine, we can talk some other time. Besides, I'm sure someone may need someone to comfort them after the chaos you'll cause."

"Kurogiri, please send me home."

Midoriya turned around and a portal opened up in front of him. He needed to leave before he did or said anything that would ruin his standing.

"Ah Phoenix, or should I say Izuku Midoriya, I know you plan to leave after you get this information, but I must warn you of what will happen if you cross us. Obviously we both have plenty of information that the police would just love, but unfortunately you don't have the same means of staying hidden that I do."

Midoriya ignored him as he continued to make his way to the portal.

"Also, that girl, Itsuka Kendo, will find herself in one of the doctor's test tubes or in my pet's pit. Tomura may even turn her to ash and those ashes will be sent to her parents. The possibilities are limitless so I hope I've made myself clear."

Midoriya froze in place. Flames erupted all around him as he stared down All for One. The sheer power of his rage caused All for One's sadistic smirk to falter for a mere moment.

"I swear, if any of you lay a finger on her I will personally turn each and everyone to ashes. I'll burn down the entire country if I have to, not even you will be able to escape from me. I will then go to jail with a smile on my face and sleep peacefully every night knowing that the people who dared to hurt the one I love are dead."

Midoriya's flames dissipated before he walked through the portal. Once he had passed through the portal closed behind him leaving All for One by himself. The man began to laugh as he stared at the scorched ground where Midoriya had stood.

"It's been so long since I've felt something like that, since I fought him. If only I had found that boy before that bastard child got to him."

A/N:

Hey everyone, I know my uploads have been inconsistent to say the least and I wanted to apologize for that. There is a lot that I want to talk about as far as this story goes, but I'll save all that for when I give my thoughts after the story is finished. Speaking of this story finishing realistically this story will have around 25 chapters. I know that is half as many as my previous story, but I never planned for this one to be as long as Traumatized. I hope you all will understand and are still enjoying this story. Hopefully the next time you guys will hear from me will be when everything is done and I'm giving my final thoughts. Until then stay safe and enjoy the holidays if you celebrate them.
