Reika wakes up sitting in a chair with her hands, feet, and wings bound to it. "You've finally woken up, Miss Takami." She hears Mera's voice from around her. "Apologies for your bindings but we had to take some measures into binding your wings. We don't want you trying to get away from us again, now do we."

"What do you want with me? You already have Hawks under your thumb as your spy." She asked.

"Tell me something, Takami. What is your relationship with that boy, 'Fumi' as you called him? When he came to save you, it appeared that the two of you were rather close. And that quirk of his is quite powerful. I've never seen an emitter type with a mind of its own before. It would be very interesting to run some tests on it." She explained, ignoring Reika's question.

"Leave those boys out of this! They are just classmates of mine." She lied.

"And yet the quirk called you 'Our Rei Rei' I believe? You seem closer to that boy than any of your other classmates. I'm curious to see what kind of connection you have with him. If only we had captured him as well. But no matter, you will do just fine as bait to lure him out of hiding." She said.

"Leave them alone! They have nothing to do with this!" She yelled. She didn't hear anything after that. 'Big brother. I hope you're protecting Fumi and Shadow with your life, cause if he and the twins get captured because of you then I'll kick your ass into next year. You'll need as much strength as you can get when you fight the HPSC and I can't do anything to help this time' She thought.

The next day, they clipped her wings so that she couldn't fly or try to escape. Every day for a week it's the same thing. She wakes up, they give her breakfast, they bind her to the chair, the HPSC torture her into joining them so she could be with her brother, she never gives in, she goes to sleep. But today is slightly different than before. She wakes up, they give her breakfast, they bind her to the chair, but sitting across from her, was Dabi. A member of the League of Villains. "Well I'll be damned. You really do look like Keigo Takami. Who knew the number two super hero has had a baby sister all this time. If I had known this I would have captured you myself." He explained as he smiled widely.

"Since you weren't telling us anything, I thought we'd take a different approach. Do whatever you must to make her talk." Mera's voice was heard from around the room.

He smiled even more. "I'm gonna have fun with you." He said. He leans in closer towards her. "Now then, what is that principle of yours hiding in UA?" He asked calmly. She just spat in his face. He wipes the spit from his face. "You're a feisty one, aren't ya kid. Try that again and I'll burn your wings off." He said in a low tone.

She spits in his face again. "Do what you will with me but I won't tell you anything." She said. He wipes the spit from his face again then punches her.

"Wrong choice girl. Now you're gonna get beat." He said as he popped his knuckles.

"Bring it on, I can take what you dish out." She said confidently. He laughs.

"You won't be saying that for long once I'm done with you." He said with a wide grin on his face.

It's been two months since Reika was captured. Old wounds were turning into scars and broken bones were slowly healing. Her head was spinning and she felt sick to her stomach. The last blow Dabi had done to her really knocked her out. She wakes up bound to the chair as she hears a commotion from outside the interrogation room door. The door Busts open as one of the HPSC members flies through, landing in front of her. She looks up to see Midoriya running into the room beginning to unbind her. Bakugo and Todoroki were fighting off other members, blocking the door. Hawks and Dabi ran into the room, followed by someone in black armor.

"Dabi! I told you to take it easy on her! She looks like she was almost mauled to death by a bear!" Hawks said as he whacked Dabi in the head.

"I had to make it look convincing so as not to raise suspicion." He said.

After Midoriya unbound her, the mysterious figure picked her up. Midoriya touched her head. "She's burning up. Todoroki, can you use your ice to cool her down?" Midoriya asked.

"Yeah I'll switch places with you." He said as he tagged out and Midoriya was tagged in. He placed his cold hand on her forehead. "She has a bad fever. I'm guessing it's due to the untreated wounds. What should we do?"

"I say let's blast our way outta here before reinforcements start heading our way. Hawks got his sister back so let's get the hell outta here." Bakugo said.

"Our first priority is getting Reika somewhere safe. Now that she's with us, we need to think of a strategy to get past those doors." She heard Tokoyami and Dark Shadow's voices at the same time.

"Easier said than done. Reinforcements are coming!" Midoriya said.

Hawks takes Reika from the mysterious figure as he stands in front of the others. "Black Abyss." They said as part of his armor flies off of him and lines the walls and the ceiling, covering them in complete darkness and blocking the exits. The HPSC goons pointed their guns at the darkness. "Try as you might but you won't escape my Black Abyss." As they said those words, the darkness on the walls and the ceiling began to cave in on them. A small portion of the right side of the wall opened up for the others to escape. "Go now. I shall be close behind."

"Nice job kiddo. The two of you are a lot stronger since the last time we spoke." Dabi said as he smiled widely. The mysterious figure didn't say anything to him.

"Don't take too long kiddo, you don't have much time in that form." Hawks said as everyone passed by the figure.

Midoriya and Bakugo fought the goons as they ran. Reika was too sick and confused to know what was going on. 'Am I being rescued?' She thought. She hears Hawks and Dabi arguing about how bad she looked while Todoroki keeps her cool with his hand. She then sees the figure in armor flying beside them. His armor now had wings made of the same matter as the armor.

"How's she holding up?" She hears Tokoyami and Dark Shadow's voices at the same time.

"Not good, her fever's bad and with these wounds she might have some internal bleeding going on somewhere." He said as he looked at the flying figure in black.

"We need to get her to the hospital, if we don't then she'll go into shock." Dabi said.

"Did you ever think twice about healing her or not, cause it looks to me like you didn't." Hawks said in an angered tone.

"Hawks, this is no time for fighting with him. Trust me, I'm pissed at him too but we can't waste any time arguing about this." Tokoyami and Dark Shadow's voices were heard again.

"Fumikage, I can't keep this form up for much longer bro. I think you'll have to do the rest on your own." Now only Dark Shadow's voice was heard.

"That's okay little brother, you did great so far. Take a long rest now and regain your strength." This time, only Tokoyami's voice was heard. As the armor and the wings disappeared, the figure was revealed to be Tokoyami. He landed beside Todoroki, starting to run. His Hero outfit looked different than his normal Hero outfit. He wasn't wearing his cloak. He wore a pair of goggles that were similar to the pair Yayorouzu created during the Joint Training session with Class B. He wore a black long sleeve shirt, but sewn onto the shirt on his left side, was a single blue feather. He had also appeared to have gotten physically stronger.

"More reinforcements at twelve o' clock!" Midoriya said.

"Let's blast these assholes into next century Deku!" Bakugo said as he blasted a couple of the goons. Just then a giant mech appeared in front of them, stopping them in their tracks.

"Hawks. Why would you betray the HPSC like this, after all we've done for you in the past. And you're in league with a villain to boot. This isn't very heroic of you." Mera's voice was heard from the mech.

"You've crossed the line when you captured Reika and attacked the school with Frankenstein!" Tokoyami said in an angered tone.

"You're that boy that tried to save her that day. The one she called, Fumi. You took your time getting here. So the two of you are more than what she says. How interesting." Mera said.

"You have defiled her beauty with marks and burns on her soft skin that will never completely heal, you have sucked the life out of her eyes, she's so malnourished that she's just as light as her feathers. Not only that but you've clipped her wings so that she can't fly. So no matter what it takes, we will be taking her home. Where she belongs." Tokoyami said.

A small Dark Shadow appears beside him. "We're taking our Rei Rei with us!" He said in a child-like tone.

"So move aside before we take you down, old hag!" Bakugo said as he held out his hand and moved his thumb down.

Mera laughed. "I'd love to see you try kids!" She said.

"You asked for it!" Bakugo said as he attacked the mech, followed by Midoriya, then Tokoyami.

"Tokoyami you can't fight in your weakened state. Tag me in!" Todoroki called out.

"I can do this. I'm not some weak kid anymore." He said as he put on a pair of black gloves with claws in the tips.

"F-Fumi. Don't get y-yourself hurt if Sh-Shadow can't fight with y-you" Reika said weakly, coughing between words.

He looked back at her and smiled. "Who said I was using Shadow's power?" He asked in a knowing tone. He looks back at Mera with a serious look on his face. "For now just rest, Rei. Leave the fighting to us."

"Wh-What are you talking about, Fumi." She coughed.

"Now now, just wait sis. Sure Dark Shadow is weak now due to his 'Abyssal Armor' but that doesn't mean he can't fight." Hawks said.

"No kidding? You sure he can fight with his quirk out of order?" Dabi asked as he smiled.

They see Tokoyami sneak around the mech as Bakugo and Midoriya had her occupied. Darkness starts to form around the claws on his gloves, then they start to grow longer. He waits for the right moment before he strikes from behind, causing the darkness around the claws to stab through the metal of the mech. "Shadow Claws!" He called out as he attacked.

Five long claw marks shrouded in darkness appear on the mech. Darkness seeped into the mech to where Mera was. The darkness surrounds her, wrapping her in a trap. "What's going on?!" She asked.

The darkness was connected to Tokoyami's glove. He brought her out just before the mech exploded. "Give up now, Mera. Or we'll keep fighting until she's safe." He said.

She looks at Tokoyami, then at Hawks and the other children, then sighs. "You win this round children, but next time we won't go so easy on you." She said.

"There won't be a next time. I assure you of that." He growled.

Reika wakes up in a dark hospital room. She looks around and sees Tokoyami sleeping in the chair beside her, then sees Hawks sleeping against the wall on the other side. She sees that her left arm was in a red cast from the elbow down to her hand. Her right leg was bandaged and hanging from a sling. She feels her head with her good hand and notices that it was also bandaged. She looks back at Tokoyami and notices a tear falling from his eye. She smiles and wipes the tear with her thumb. "Still cry in your sleep when something feels wrong to you, don't you Fumi." She quietly said to herself.

"Of course he does. Saving you was all we ever thought about. We had just gotten you back into our lives, so we weren't about to let you leave it just like that." She heard Dark Shadow's voice. He appears above Tokoyami then hugs her tightly, beginning to cry himself.

She smiles and hugs him back. "I'm not going anywhere anytime soon. Not in my condition." She said.

"Seeing you in a worse state than he originally thought broke his heart. You've been asleep for a few days, but Fumikage and Hawks have never left your side once. The twins wanted to stay but mom told them not to…We've all been worried sick about you, Rei Rei." He said as he snuggled into her.

"Can you tell me what has happened since Aunt Frankie attacked the school?" She asked.

Dark Shadow tells her about how he and Tokoyami have been training for the past two months with Hawks and gained some new moves, such as "Black Abyss," "Abyssal Armor," and "Shadow Claws." He also told her that he doesn't use him when he uses "Shadow Claws" but the residue of the darkness he leaves behind. He explained to her that Tokoyami wanted to continue fighting, even when he was weak. "He wanted to do everything he could with his own strength to help bring you home. Oftentimes, he would train without me, building his physical and mental strength. He didn't want to rest until he knew you were safe with us again." He said as he looked back at his older brother.

"Looks more to me that he didn't rest at all…Same goes for Hawks." She said as she smiled, gently petting Tokoyami's head. 'Am I really this important to Fumikage and Dark Shadow? So much has happened to him since I left when we were kids. He's found new friends, he's a little more open to others, though still a bit reserved when it comes to complete strangers. He's treating Dark Shadow more like a brother, rather than just his quirk. He's doing just fine…without me.' She thought.

Tokoyami wakes up to her petting his head. He sees her with her eyes closed with Dark Shadow laying on her chest with her other arm on his back. He sees a familiar look on her face that he hasn't seen since the school festival. He reaches up and gently grabs her hand, holding it to his cheek. "I know what you're thinking, Rei. I do have friends that I care about, yes, but much like Shadow, you are far more important to me than anyone. If I hadn't found you in Hosu that day, I would have been stuck in my own abyss forever. You are the light that guides me out of my darkness, and the only light that gives Dark Shadow strength. With you in our lives, we feel like we can do anything, without losing control. So whether you like it or not, you're stuck with us love, forever." He explained as he kissed her hand, making her blush.

She turns her head away from him to hide her blush. 'Am I that much of an open book to him?! Or can he read my mind?' She thought.

"Your facial expressions are what give you away. I've known you long enough to know what you're thinking just by reading your expressions." He said, kissing her palm.

"I bet you're a mind reader. Either that or I'm that much of an open book to you." She said with a little shyness in her voice. He chuckles.

"You didn't used to be an open book. It just took time for me to learn your personality when we were kids. Since I found you, it only took me a couple of weeks to figure you out again." He said. He intertwined his fingers with hers and kissed her hand again.

She looks back at him as she remembers what he had said about her skin once being soft. 'You have defiled her beauty with marks and burns on her soft skin that will never completely heal, you have sucked the life out of her eyes, she's so malnourished that she's just as light as her feathers. Not only that but you've clipped her wings so that she can't fly.' his angered voice rings in her head. She looks at the many scars on her body.

"It doesn't matter what you look like, you'll always be beautiful in my eyes. Go back to sleep, we'll still be here when you wake up." He said as he smiled lovingly towards her. She looks at him as tears form in her eyes before she falls back into a slumber.

She wakes up a few hours later hearing three male voices. "No way! You wrote this?!" Hawks said with a bit of surprise in his voice as he held a piece of paper in his hands.

"Jiro has been helping him with it as well as teaching him the acoustic guitar since after the school festival." Dark Shadow said proudly.

Tokoyami looks down as he blushes in embarrassment. "It's nothing special. It's just something I wanted to do for her." He said with a bit of shyness in his voice.

"Really! I wanna hear it then. Play it for us." He said.

"Yeah! We wanna hear it too! Play it for us big brother!" She hears Rhyan and Rhyley's voices. Since when did the twins start calling Tokoyami 'Big Brother'?

He sighs and walks towards a guitar case. "Fine, I'll play it. But JUST this once. Shadow, you'll have to be back up." He said as he took an acoustic guitar out of the case and sat down. "You might be familiar with the song itself, but the lyrics are all my own."

"Hey I helped!" Dark Shadow protested.

"All our own then." He said as he smiled.

(AUTHORS NOTE: I will post the lyrics on a different post/chapter along with a video of someone playing the song on Acoustic Guitar. Kudos will go to them and the people who made the animated movie "Anastasia" BEST NON DISNEY PRINCESS MOVIE EVER!)

He starts playing the song "At the Beginning" from the movie "Anastasia". As the first verse comes up, he starts singing. Both he and Dark Shadow sing the chorus, then Dark Shadow sings the second verse. They both sing the third verse, then Tokoyami sings the last verse by himself. Her eyes widened as he played, tears beginning to form in her eyes.

Hawks, the twins, and his mother, who had snuck in with the doctor, all clapped for him. He blushes in embarrassment. "When did you come up with this Fumikage?" His mother asked.

"I've had it in my head for a while now, it just wasn't until after the school festival that I actually got a chance to write it down and showed it to a classmate of ours who's parents are musicians. She's the one who helped me with it." He explained.

"It's beautiful dear, I'm sure she'll love it." His mother said as she smiled. She dried her tears as his mother turned around. "Don't you, dear." Tokoyami looks at her in surprise. Hawks chuckles.

"She caught you red handed kid. Nowhere for you to hide now." He said.

"R-Reika?! H-How long have you been awake?" He asked, stuttering a little.

"Since you started playing. Y-You wrote that?" She said as she stared at him.

"Y-Yeah…For you, actually…You like it?" He asked shyly.

She smiles a little as a small glimmer appears in her now lifeless eyes. "It's beautiful, Fumi." She said.

He smiles happily. "Did you see that Fumikage! There was a glimmer in her eyes just now!" Dark Shadow said excitedly.

"I did! We'll get those beautiful eyes of hers to sparkle again in no time!" He said as he smiled, turning his head to Dark Shadow.

His mother and Hawks laughed at their excitement. "They're acting like little boys again. It's been a long time since we've seen them this happy." She said.

"Well what do you expect, dear? The love of his life is back in our lives to stay with us for good." His father said as he walked into the room.

Tokoyami blushes. "D-DAD!" He and Dark Shadow said at the same time, their blushes growing darker. He, his mother, and Hawks laugh.

"Alright all you boys, Out of the room. Reika needs to have her sponge bath." His mother said as she pushed Hawks and Rhyan out of the room. His father followed but he stayed put.

"I won't budge." He said as he crossed his arms. Dark Shadow comes out and wraps his arms around Reika's shoulders.

"We're staying." He pouted.

"Nope, I won't have it. Both of you get out of this room. You may come back in when she's done." His mother said as she tried to push Tokoyami out. They refused to move.

"As long as they don't turn around and Fumi keeps Shadow from peeking. They can stay." Reika said as she sighed then smiled.

"Who said I'm gonna peek?!" Dark Shadow said in a sarcastic but surprising tone.

"Because I'm not the kind of guy that would peek." Tokoyami said as he turned around. "Now return to me, little brother."

"Fiiine." Dark Shadow returned to Tokoyami, laying on his lap. As his mother was helping her, Tokoyami was playing the song again, humming it to himself.

"Fumikage, where did you find that guitar?" His mother asked.

"Jiro is letting me borrow it for practice." He said as he continued to play.

"He's also able to play the electric guitar as well. I'm pretty sure Principal Nezu allowed Rhyan and Rhyley to record their performance for you two." Reika said.

"We used big Sissy's phone to record it. Where is your phone sissy?" Rhyley said happily then looked at Reika.

"I don't remember where I had it last." She said.

"I have it, don't worry. I found it in the classroom after the attack." Tokoyami said as takes a blue phone with white wings on the case out of his pocket and held it up. "I've been keeping it charged for you."

"You are just full of surprises today, Fumikage." His mother said.

"I'll give it to her." Rhyley said as she took the phone from him and gave it to Reika.

"Thank you, Fumi." She said as she smiled.

"You're welcome." He replied.

"Poor dear. Your wings were so beautiful. They didn't even preen them while you were there. And they clipped them more than they should have. Makes me mad that they did this to you." His mother said as she washes her back.

"I'm pissed at them too mom but it's okay, I'll fix them when you're done." Tokoyami said as he glanced at his mother.

"You know how to preen wings?" His mom asked with a surprising tone.

"I've always known how, mom. I've just never preened any until we brought her home from Hosu." He said.

"Alright boys, she's done with her bath. You may turn around now." His mother said as she and Rhyley walked out of the room, allowing Hawks to go back in. Tokoyami gets up from his chair and walks towards Reika. Her chest was covered with the blanket but the gown was undone from her lower back to her shoulders, letting the sleeves fall to the sides of her shoulders. He sits down behind her and starts preening her wings.
