Chapter Start

~U.A. Medical Ward: Saturday Morning~

Izumi sat quietly listening to Recovery Girl's report on what had happened to her. Alexstrasza stood a few feet away holding a sleeping Daiki. Ochaco sat next to her their hands intertwined. "And you'll most likely have some scarring for the foreseeable future," Recovery Girl said as she closed Izumi's file.

"I would put money on the scars all fading away fully over the next two or three moltings," Alex said softly.

"You call it molting?" Izumi asked a smirk coming to her face.

"Molting, shedding. It's the same thing," Alex replied a smile on her face as well.

"As long as they go away," Izumi said rubbing the burn scar on her arm. Ochaco placed her hand over Izumi's stopping her rubbing. The two smiled at each other for a moment before Alex spoke up again.

"If you're feeling up for it. I'd like to take you out for a meal. Just the two of us," Alex said adjusting Daiki in her arms.

"I'd like that," Izumi replied.

"You're free to go when you're ready," Chiyo said as she hopped off her chair and left for her office.

~Unknown Location: Yakuza Hideout~

Chizaki Kai was not in a good mood today. He had been pulled from his usual routine when Chronostasis had told him someone had been skimming money off their front. The worst part was it had been done over every one of their shell companies. So now he had to spend the day going to each one as subtly as possible and checking on them. With a grumble, he left the base unaware he'd forgotten to lock Eri's room when Chronostasis had come in to alert him.

~U.A Dorms Work-out Room~

Kyoka was pretty sure she hated Eijiro at the moment. The redhead was a total workout freak. He knew everything anyone would need to know about building muscle. Something he used to put Kyoka through a hellish workout.

"You did great for day one," Eijiro said sitting with a smile on his face as he offered a bottle of water to Kyoka.

"To... exhausted... other... wise... I... would... stab... you," Kyoka panted out still trying to catch her breath. Once she finally regained some strength she took the offered drink, sat up, and promptly dumped it over her head.

"Just got to stretch now so you're not sore later and we're good," Eijiro said still smiling.

"Give me another minute," Kyoka returned.

"Not this time!" a voice shouted. The two looked over to see Denki and Hitoshi both sprinting with everything they had on a set of treadmills. It seemed like they were having a contest.

"Come on Toshi!" Denki laughed and he sprinted at an absurd speed. Kyoka couldn't see the speed from where she was but she could tell it was easily over sixteen kilometers per hour. The more shocking part was he didn't look to be tired at all. While Hitoshi was drenched in sweat.

"Damnit," Hitoshi growled as the two slowed down.

"Maybe one day," Denki laughed.

"Doubtful. Even without your quirk, you've always been fast," Hitoshi said before dowing half his water.

"Not sure what to tell you. I'm just fast," Denki laughed more.

"Way to kill it guys!" Eijiro shouted as he stood.

"Same to you," Denki smiled. "You really put Jiro-san through the wringer," he added.

"I'll stab you too," Kyoka grumbled.

"I'd rather you didn't," Denki said in surrender.

"Yeah he's got a date tonight," Hitoshi said smacking Denki's back.

"Hey now," Denki said rolling a shoulder. "Don't be jealous,"

"I'm not and you know it," Hitoshi returned.

"Suuuuuure," Denki laughed.

"Come on Jiro! We gotta stretch," Eijiro said pulling Kyoka back to their workout.

"Mind if I join?" Denki asked.

"Feel free," Eijiro said. The four of them all proceeded to start stretches.

~Seedy Bar~

Tomura was conflicted. He wanted to listen to his sensei but at the same time, something told him the plan was doomed to fail. He didn't trust the Black Flight. Not one bit. His hand started to scratch at his neck as his eyes watched a screen. Somehow they had gotten a copy of the U.A. entrance exam. So now it was time to see what they would be dealing with.

"See anything interesting yet?" Tomura's eyes slowly tracked over to the bar's newest inhabitant. The man had long midnight black hair kept in a ponytail and deep emerald eyes. Like most of his ilk, he was dressed in a fine black suit. His difference was he used purple as his accent color rather than dark red like Viktor or Deathwing.

"Nothing yet," Tomura spat. He turned the feed to another camera. He was rewarded when a large figure flew passed the camera. Tomura's attention was locked as the camera focused on the form of a dragon.

'Thump-thump' Tomura's eyes widened slightly and his mouth went dry. He couldn't pull his eyes off the sleek draconic form. A beautiful mixture of black and dark green scales covered their body. His heartbeat sped up a bit more as he watched the dragon tearing through robots.

"Ah," the annoyance spoke up. "I see you've found the runt," he laughed.

"Runt?" Tomura asked unable to look away from the dragon.

"That would be the reason we are working together," he said. "That little runt belongs to us. She is Deathwing's runaway," Tomura suppressed a growl. This wouldn't do. Deathwing didn't deserve her.

"Molten Inferno!" the dragon screamed out as it let loose a torrent of flame. Tomura's smile widened again. No, this dragon wouldn't be going back to America. The only place this dragon was going was to Tomura's side. She was perfect. She would be his and his alone.

~Afternoon in Okazaki~

Izumi wasn't sure why Alexstrasza had her come all the way to Okazaki for their meal. They reached a small dinner for their meal. Izumi wasn't sure why a small noodle shop was so important to Alexstrasza.

That was until they stepped inside and were welcomed by none other than the Emerald Queen Hero: Ysera.

"SIS!" the two shouted in unison as they ran to each other. Izumi suddenly understood why they were in Okazaki. This area was the base of the Green Dragonflight.

A moment passed before Izumi realized she had a pair of eyes on her. With two of the aspects staring down at her. She suddenly felt incredibly small. "So," Yersa said taking a step closer. "This is her?"

"Yep," Alex replied stepping up as well.

"Well," Yersa took another step forward followed by Alex. "She's adorable!" Izumi found herself imprisoned in Yersa's arms. Alex's arms quickly follow her sisters and Izumi is crushed between them.

"I know right," Alex adds with a laugh.

"Air," Izumi manages to squeak out. The sisters both laugh a bit more but relinquish Izumi.

"Sorry," they say in unison. Once Izumi regained her breath she was led to a table and offered a menu.

"I'll take my usual," Alex says before throwing her menu at Yersa who laughs catching it.

"Of course, you would," Yersa says.

"I'll have the Emerald Dream Ramen," Izumi says handing her menu.

"Nope," Alex says before snatching the menu and throwing it at Yersa. "Gotta throw it at her," She laughs as Yersa catches the menu.

"Rustbucket," Yersa snaps with a smirk on her face as she turns away.

"Seaweed breath," Alex snaps back a big smile on her face.

"Now then. Tell me everything," Alex said giving Izumi her undivided attention.

~Unknown Location: Yakuza Hideout~

Eri moved as quietly as she could. Her small frame shook as she reached each corner. Somehow she hadn't run into anyone yet. Her heart started to race when she saw a staircase. It was different that the rest. This set was wooden. Could they be it? Was she finally at the door?

A voice from behind caused her to panic and run up the stairs. The door pushed open and Eri escaped her hell.

~With Izumi~

Izumi, Alex, and Yersa had finished their meal, and work in Yersa's case, and were walking the streets of Okazaki. Izumi was mostly listening to the sisters chatting and enjoying the afternoon breeze. Right up until a small form crashed into her legs.

"Ah," a soft cry rang out. Izumi quickly knelt to help the small girl that had run into her. Seeing the girl made Izumi's blood run cold. She looked horrible. Her hair was a mess of tangles and knots. Her arms and legs were completely covered in bandages. Worst of all her eyes held nothing but fear.

"Are you ok?" Izumi said reaching slowly for the girl. To her surprise, the girl all but jumped into her arms.

"Help me," The girl spoke softly. Izumi could tell she was almost in tears.

"Of course, I will," Izumi replied.

"What's going on?" Alex asked appearing at Izumi's side.

"Is she ok?" Yersa asked appearing at Izumi's other side. The girl squeezes tighter as the two Aspects checked on her.

"Let's get her back home," Izumi said giving both women a look that screamed get moving.

"Sounds like a good plan," Alex replied.

"It would be nice to visit again," Yersa letting Izumi know she would have both Aspects watching over her.

~End Notes~ Yup Izumi found herself a little unicorn. I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. Let me know what you thought.
