Gina, or Ace I should say, got us through the checkpoint as quickly as possible. She flashed her Hero License at the hero manning the checkpoint and he let us through, no questions asked.

"Drop me off at the hospital," I demanded, then trying to sound polite. "Please? My friends are there."

"Got it," Ace nodded, the car suddenly swerving to avoid what looked like a nomu. She yelled something in another language before continuing. "This place is a mess! Stay at the hospital for now, I'll call you when I'm done here."

The car screeched to a halt and I jumped out, dashing into the hospital before Ace even had a chance to say goodbye. I ran up to the front desk, slamming my hands onto the counter and causing the female nurse to flinch.

"I need to find Tenya Iida," I said, my tone urgent. "Just tell me the room number quickly! He's my friend!"

"But I'm not supposed to-"

I slammed my fist on the counter again. "Look, I need to know if he's okay!"

The nurse flinched, but nodded. "It's room 234, on the second floor."

I ran off without so much as a thank you, desperately searching for the stairs. When I found the stairs I climbed them two at a time, ducking underneath the arms of some policemen who had the second floor partially blocked off. I wasn't sure what that was all about, but I wasn't about to wait for them to let me through. I sprinted down the hall, finding room 234 and dodging more policemen as I swung open the door, throwing myself inside. I landed on the floor with a 'THUD,' but the impact from landing on the floor was nothing compared to what I was hearing.

"-Be keeping the fact that you three fought Stain a secret."

The man with a dog head who had been speaking paused, looking down at the floor where I was laying on my stomach, my mouth hanging open.

"Did I just fucking hear what I think I just fucking heard?" I hissed, slowly rising to my feet while I dusted off my hero costume with my hand.

The room was dead silent, so silent I think I could hear the sweat dripping down Tenya's forehead as I turned to look at him.

The dog-headed man cleared his throat, placing a hand on my shoulder. "Excuse me, but who are you? This area is supposed to be off limits."

I shrugged his hand off, annoyed that he touched me without permission. My eyes remained on Tenya, my fists clenching so hard I could feel my nails digging into my palm.

"I'm a friend of these three idiots," I answered. "I saw the news and was worried about them so I came here with Ace."

The man sighed. "I'll have to speak to Ace about this, but I'll tell you the same thing I was telling these three. Everything said in this room stays in this room."

"Including the fact that three teenagers fought the Hero Killer, Stain?" I asked, my gaze still fixed on Tenya.

"Yes," He sighed, nodding his head. "The story being released to the public is that Endeavour and a few other local heroes took him down."

"I understand," I replied, my jaw feeling stiff. "I won't tell anyone about this. But could you leave us alone for a bit?"

"Of course," He agreed, walking towards the door. "Those three are patients and need their rest, I'm sure you also have a lot to talk about."

I barely managed to mumble a response. "Yeah..."

The sound of the door shutting echoed through the room. I walked towards Todoroki's bed first, finally taking my eyes off of Tenya to look at Todoroki.

"You seem to be the most rational," I began, taking a deep breath. "So please tell me what happened."

Todoroki calmly recounted everything that had happened, Midoriya filling in the parts Todoroki wasn't there for. I listened to them quietly, my arms folded over my chest.

When they finished recounting everything that had happened, Midoriya got up, pulling Todoroki to his feet as well. Midoriya walked to the door, dragging Todoroki with him.

"We should probably go call our parents," Midoriya said awkwardly, pulling Todoroki along. "Come on Todoroki, let's go."

"But why would I call my-"

Midoriya slapped his good hand over Todoroki's mouth, laughing nervously. "Hahaha, what a funny guy. Come on, I'm sure our parents are worried. We can grab some drinks from the vending machine on the way back."

Todoroki still looked confused, but he allowed himself to be dragged out of the room by Midoriya, leaving Tenya and I in the room alone.

I bit my lip, fighting the urge to verbally explode at him.

"Tora, I'm..." He paused, taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry."

"Do you even know what you're sorry for?" I retorted, my eyes glued to the floor. "Do you know what it is that you did to upset me?"

Tenya was quiet for a moment. "I went after Stain."

"You went after Stain alone," I corrected him, taking a shaky breath. "What kind of an idiot goes after a serial killer alone?"

I clenched my fists again, wincing a little as my nails painfully dug into my palms again.

"But-"

"Just listen to me for a moment, please Tenya." I pleaded, my vision blurring. "Your family is already going through a difficult time with what happened to Tensei, can you imagine how devastated they'd be if they lost you? How devastated our class would be?"

My vision blurred, but I finally met Tenya's gaze. My fists were still clenched and I bit my lip in a feeble attempt to stop myself from crying.

"Do you know how devastated I would be?" I asked, then chuckling softly. "Maybe I just rely on you too much to get me out of trouble and deal with my shit, but I don't want to find out what my life would be like without you. You've changed my life for the better, and now I can't imagine my life without you in it."

Slowly, Tenya stood up from his bed, trying to walk towards me. He stumbled forward and I grabbed his shoulders, helping him to his feet. Tenya softly grabbed one of my clenched fists, carefully prying my fingers open and revealing four crescent shaped punctures.

"Tora, I-"

I cut him off, speaking softly. "Before you talk, I have one more thing I need to say. I'm so sorry for everything I said to you before. You have every right to mope, cry, scream, and be upset. I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you the way you are always there for me. The way the rest of the Japan feels about what happened to Tensei can't even compare to how you and your family feel. I mean, if something like that happened to Kuse I could never feel alright again. So, I'm sorry for being such an asshole, I'm sorry that I'm not reliable like you, and I'm sorry I'm absolutely terrible at dealing with your emotions and mine. I've lived my whole life bottling up my feelings, that's the only way I know how to cope, and me expecting you to cope the same way is completely unfair."

Tenya spoke quietly. "It's okay, Tora."

"No, it isn't!" I shouted, pulling my hand away. "How can I call myself your friend when I can't even be there for you?! If I had just been there for you, maybe you wouldn't have ended up here, maybe you wouldn't have been in so much danger! While you were fighting for your life I was finishing my training and eating dinner for fucks sake!"

The room was silent aside from me struggling to catch my breath.

"It's my turn now," Tenya said, gently covering my mouth with his palm so I couldn't speak. "Regardless of what you told me, I think I still would've ended up here. It was stupid, I knew that when I decided to come here, but it still felt like something I needed to do. Love makes you do irrational things, and after Tensei ended up in the hospital I was anything but rational. But I promise to never do anything like this ever again."

Tenya removed his hand, stepping forward and trapping me in a hug. I tried to shrug him off, noticing that his entire arm was wrapped into bandages but he refused to move. I gave up on struggling with a sigh, wrapping my arms around him and resting my head on his chest.

"Why are you so stubborn?" I mumbled, hiding my flushed face.

"Talk about the pot calling the kettle black." Tenya answered, causing both of us to chuckle quietly.

Our soft laughter fizzled out until the only sound I could hear was Tenya's heartbeat. Although I couldn't hear my own heartbeat I could certainly feel it, thumping against my rib cage so intensely I thought it might just eject itself from my body.

I tilted my head up to look at Tenya and the two of us locked eyes. I felt embarrassed when I felt my face heat up even more, Tenya seemed flushed as well, but for some reason neither of us could look away.

His face was slowly creeping closer to my own, but I felt no urge to move away. We continued gazing into each other's eyes as he got closer and closer to me.

It felt like time was moving three times as fast and standing still all at the same time. I barely had any time to comprehend what was happening before his lips were on mine.

My arms tightened around him, trying to pull him closer despite the fact that we were already as close as we could get. When we parted I couldn't help but wish it lasted just a little longer.

Tenya shyly looked away, releasing me from our hug and taking a step back. I opened my mouth to say something, but he beat me to it.

"... I should go call my parents."

I nodded, almost too stunned to speak. My brain still hadn't caught up to what just happened, my thoughts and feelings were erratic, completely incomprehensible.

Tenya scurried out of the room, leaving me completely alone.

I felt giddy inside, so giddy that I couldn't help but inwardly cringe at myself. I had said it before and I'll say it again; I'm not some romance anime protagonist. But that didn't negate the fact that what just happened had been something I'd been hoping for.

But there was one big question that was weighing down my good mood.

Why exactly did he kiss me?

I'm not delusional enough to think that this had to mean that he liked me. He didn't exactly specify why he kissed me. Of course I'd hope it's because he likes me, but there's so many other possibilities. Hell, maybe he just misunderstood his own feelings of friendship towards me.

Obviously the only person who had the answer to my question was Tenya.

A/N

I'm so sorry it took so long to finish this chapter, I'm sure many of you guys have been waiting months for this update so I hope you liked it! It took me a lot of tweaking to finally get this chapter to a point that I was happy with. Writing about characters feelings can be difficult, especially because I have to consider that their personalities are very different to my own and therefore they will respond to situations differently than I would. Also as I mentioned on my message board me and two others are making a joint MHA crossover crack fanfic and it would be awesome if you check it out! Please head over to our joint account EEK-theWEEBS and check it out! I'll also include a little sneak peek below this author's note, so give it a read if you're interested!

The school intercom suddenly blared to life.

"Could I get staff and students from Kunugigaoka to my office please? Feel free to ask UA staff and students for help navigating."

The tired black-haired teacher sighed, turning to look at the three sudden intruders. "I assume that's you three? Iida and Kaminari will take you."

A tall dark-haired student and the blonde victim of one of the intruders from earlier stood up.

"Greetings!" The dark-haired, glasses wearing one spoke. "I am Iida Tenya, and this is Kaminari Denki!"

The blonde one, Kaminari, visibly stiffened. Being trained assassins, Karma and Nagisa picked up on this immediately. Karma inwardly grinned, stepping forward and throwing an arm over the blonde's shoulders. 

"Sorry about earlier, no hard feelings right? Though, you would make a great target. Want to join me for practice sometime?" Karma teased.

“Sorry about him, he's always like this, you have no idea how many times he’s tried to get me in a skirt to ‘fish for perverts and delinquents.'" Nagisa complained.

Content with leaving Karma and Nagisa with the traumatised blonde, Koro-sensei turned to Iida. "I greatly appreciate your guidance! Please, lead the way!"

“I mean no offence to you when I say this but I don’t feel comfortable leaving those two with Kaminari, last time someone scared him, he accidentally short circuited the power for the whole school.” Iida cautioned. 

Koro-sensei's once jaundice-yellow flesh turned asphyxiation-purple in shock.

"Short . . . Circuited?" He quivered out.

Iida shrugged off this colour changing phenomenon, knowing his quirk-loving, broccoli-haired friend would love to hear about it later.

"Yes," Iida replied. "His quirk is Electrification, meaning he can fire off electricity. Mine is Engine, it allows me speed in my legs for running and kicking."

"Quirk? Electrification? Engine?" Many such questions left the now, seemingly permanently purple octopus. Iida tried to answer them but it appeared that Koro-sensei was too confused to understand; or listen. 

Upon arriving at their destination, Nagisa began to try to pull Karma off of Kaminari, whose life appeared to be flashing before his eyes. Iida soon joined in, but when he noticed Kaminari about to sneeze, he backed off, taking a confused Nagisa with him. Seconds later, electricity exploded through the hallway, and doors closed, bots surrounding them.

"Principal Nezu sir! It's Iida. Could you send the bots away? The electricity was Kaminari, again." He sighed. "We’ve brought three people, I think, from Kunugigaoka. Kaminari and I must return to class now." 

Kaminari let out a sigh as he walked past the terrifying red haired kid, who was barely saved from the blast by their freakish yellow teacher. He didn't mind the blue-haired hottie much, especially when compared to his companions. Actually, there was something about the feminine kid he really liked. Without his knowledge, a blush tinted his cheeks while he thought of Nagisa's thoughtfulness and gentleness.

Now waiting alone in the recently electrified hallway, the three from Kunugigaoka waited, hearing the slight sound of shuffling and murmuring from behind the door. They glanced at each other with a shrug, each slightly on edge. However, when the door opened and made way for a white, rodent-looking creature, tension made way for confusion. The confusion grew to shock as the rodent began to speak.

"Greetings Koro-sensei and students! I am Nezu, the principal of this school. Please come in." He spoke, his voice high in pitch.  "I've been made aware of your predicament by Karasuma here." 

The seasoned agent sat in front of the principal's desk, sipping tea given to him by the rodent principal.

"From what I've assessed, you four are from an alternate world or dimension. This was most likely caused by a quirk in this dimension, for that, I apologise." Nezu bowed an apology before clambering into his seat, much like a toddler would do, and interlocking his paw-pad-clad fingers. 

Karasuma nodded. "The moon is whole, that alone is proof enough that we’re not in our Japan anymore."

Nezu mentally thanked the stoic man, while also taking mental notes on the mystery arrivals. After seeing what happened in the classroom from nearly microscopic surveillance cameras, the rodent saw the four 'intruders' as wildcards. While he trusted Karasuma enough, he couldn't get a read of the octopus-man, who was now back to his regular jaundice-yellow.

"Allow me to explain our world." Nezu started.

He explained to the four that, in this world, quirks were like genetic superpowers. As a result, supervillains and superheroes were rampant. This school, UA trained superheroes, among other things. The class they'd 'spawned' into, was one such class. Of course, there were those born without quirks and quirks could appear as physical or otherwise. 

"Now, I have a proposal. Seeing as it appears your students are well trained in combat, why don't we enrol them in our hero programme? I can assure you no harm will come to them in any way here, in fact, I feel one of you is already finding enjoyment here.” He said, his gaze fixated on Karma. “However, seeing as you two . . . adults, need a way to support yourselves, I shall employ you two as teacher assistants. I can also get you all lodgings and identification for your time in our world." Nezu proposed. "We have been in the makings of dormitories for a short while with plans to have students move in two terms from now. Moving you guys in right away should be no problem though!"

Koro-sensei and Karasuma exchanged a look, seeming to be telepathically communicating. After a short while, Karasuma nodded.

"Thank you Principal Nezu, we are indebted to you." Karasuma bowed.

Nezu smiled. "I'm glad! Now, I will have uniforms brought to the change room. Our two newest students have class after all! You two will be in class 1-A, the very class you're acquainted with. They are just about to start their first hero-training class with Japan's number one hero, All-Might. Please make your way to the change rooms and then to Ground Beta, I will let the staff know. Koro-sensei and Karasuma, please remain here. I will debrief you on our school and your new positions."

Nagisa and Karma were handed maps of the grounds before they left, practically shoved out of the room by the animal that was a third the size of them.
