Privated messages between TheseEyebagsAreGucci and MasterHasGivenDabiASock

TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Touya who's taking you to get your skin grafts done?

MasterHasGivenDabiASock: Uhhhhh Aizawa I think. Why?

TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Ok just had to make sure. While you guys went out, he wanted to bring the rest of the league to see how they do in a public environment together.

TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Other than Kurogiri. They're going to talk to him over something while you're all out.

MasterHasGivenDabiASock: Ok. Most of them are still asleep rn but I'll tell them when they wake up. The session isn't till noon today I think.

TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Chill.

"Class g(A)y and Les(B)ian"

TheseEyebagsAreGucci has kicked MasterHasGivenDabiASock, RiskyHandjob and 5 others from "Class g(A)y and Les(B)ian"

MummyI'mAZombie: Here's the deal.

MummyI'mAZombie: Satou's found a letter right underneath Class A's dorm mat. It's from a currently unknown source, but until we find out who it is, or when they're going to attack, nobody will be leaving campus unless given specific permission to do so. We will also not tell the league until we know more, so no one tell them anything.

MummyI'mAZombie: And for those of you who can't keep secrets for shit, try to avoid talking to them for a bit.

:3c: It seems I've been called out.

MummyI'mAZombie: Yep. The final trip we have scheduled before complete lockdown has been moved back to today. For hero training. We've completely ensured the security and unknown whereabouts of this trip. First I'll take Touya and the others to his skin grafting appointment, then I'll come back here to pick all of you up.

Touya's POV

It's around 10 right now, meaning I have to be at the hospital in a couple hours to get my session done. I've been laying in bed, rolling around and completely filled with excitement.... which sorta irritated the seams of my skin and it's staples, but who cares?? In just a few more hours, I won't have to deal with their bullshit anymore. I'll finally be able to smile without having my face be split in half, and that means I can kiss Tomura, no problem!

I'm too excited, too restless to stay still. Maybe I should dress in something more revealing so the doctor can see more of my skin? So he can see the full extent? It's probably for the best.

I jump out of bed and make a bee-line towards my dresser. I don't have many scars on my legs, at least not from my fire, so I can cover up a bit more there. It's all in my arms, chest and torso. I put on a white baggy, wide-necked tank top, and pair it with black shorts that reach about mid-thigh, wearing tights underneath that reach just past my knee. I think this should be enough for him.

Finally, after slipping on a pair of sneakers, I step out of my room. I'll probably head to the others' rooms when it's time for them to get ready, but they're good for now. I'll be the nice older brother and let them sleep.

Walking down the stairs to the commons, I don't remember the last time I was ever this restless or excited for... anything. Should I do something to pass the time?? Like what? Maybe make breakfast again... that sounds nice!

I take my first step onto the first floor, but, before I can move any further, I hear a couple of voices up ahead. Instinctively, I dart behind the closest corner to hide and listen to whatever the two of them are talking about. Judging by the voices, I'd say it's Kurogiri and Aizawa.

"You could've- why didn't you- 15 years Oboro. You were thought dead for 15 years... for 15 years we mourned over you..."

"I know...."

"And you knew all this time."

"I was forbidden from making contact."

"I understand that... and I'm not angry at you... I'm angry at him."

"Aren't we all?"

"...either way, we need to tell Nemuri and Hizashi. But I'm sure you already know that. Either way, The principal wants you in his office."

"When?"

"Later today. You'll be discussing.... something."

"Should I be worried?"

"Depends on how good you are with kids."

"...now I'm just confused."

"Perfect. Anyways, I'm off to finish grading tests. I'll be back in an hour so to pick up Touya."

"Alright... see you later, Shouta."

"Bye Oboro."

Then quiet foot steps, and the quiet creak open and close of the door.

Kurogiri sighs quietly and goes to sit on the couch. I can hear his foot tapping against the ground. He must be nervous, restless, or both.

As if nothing happened, I walk out from behind the corner and into the living area. I stop as if I'm surprised when I see Kurogiri sitting on the couch.

"Well you're up early, Kuro."

"Yes... I suppose so."

His tone is a bit more down than earlier, and he's started to twiddle his thumbs. It's obvious there's too much on his mind. I remember how much he liked to take care of us back in the hideout, he barely made time for himself just to make sure we were all doing well. Maybe if I invite him to make breakfast with me, that'll be enough to clear his head.

"I was gonna make breakfast for the kids... you wanna help?"

His head looks up a bit from looking at his thumbs.

"...yes. I'd love to help."

Perfect.

"Alright. I was thinking of making them chocolate chip pancakes, so come along."

Kurogiri got up to follow me into the kitchen, while we were walking, I saw him slowly pick up his pace. He must be excited.

"I'll grab the batter and you grab the utensils, yeah?"

"Alright."

From then on, we had a surprising amount of fun just prancing around the kitchen and making food.

"You should really but on more clothes when cooking! You could get burned!"

"Eh, I'm getting skin surgery anyways!"

I threw chocolate chips onto the curved surface of pancake batter within the pan. A couple drops of batter flew back towards me and, before I knew it, I fell through the floor and came right back up just as fast.

"...Am I Mario?"

"What? No. I teleported you."

"..mhm." Before Kurogiri could stop me, I jumped forward yelling "Yahoo!", throwing more chocolate chips into seperate pans. I can feel Kurogiri's disappointment.

"I won't hesitate to kill you, Touya."

"Looks like you're catching onto the millenial humor of simultaneously wanting to die and wanting others to die."

"You are aware I'm less than 10 years older than you, right?"

"Blasphemous. As far as I'm concerned, you're my grandpa."

"...uh huh."

I throw him finger guns with one hand and take the pan in the other, flipping the pancake into the air and back onto the pan seemlessly.

"Wooo!!!!"

"If that fell on the floor, I would've forced you to eat it."

"Well then, salmonella be damned. Slurp slurp bitch."

"Oh my god stop."

"You started it!"

We finished making 98 pancakes.

And I still had 10 minutes to spare.

At this point, a lot of the students had come down already. Either just waking up, or somehow smelling the food from all the way up on a seperate floor. Shishida from class B smelled it from the other side of campus and came sprinting through the door, actually. And little by little, everyone in class A was downstairs.

"Could someone get class B over here please?"

"I'll text Awase!"

"Thank you Momo."

"wE HEARD THERE WERE P A N C A K E S-"

"Awase what the fuck."

"NO QUESTIONS JUST GIMME."

So class B was over here in 16 seconds flat, and Kurogiri and I served all of them. Also, when we finished feeding the kids, we had Kurogiri warp random objects into the leagues' rooms to land on their heads and wake them up. We dropped water in Shuichi's room, an egg in Jin's, etc. within 15 seconds, a very angry Tomura came stomping down the stairs with a whisk caught in his very tangled hair. A knife was thrown from the staircase soon after, revealing Toga with a face covered in strawberry jam. Sako had sugar crystals everywhere on his body, he tried to be angry, but then Kurogiri said he chose sugar because "you're so sweet" and Sako, being disoriented and emotionally unstable from exhaustion so early in the morning, started crying. Finally, Hido walked down. His entire head was covered in chocolate syrup and chips. He took one look at us, licked off a chip that was stuck in his hair, and muttered a quiet "thank you for the food." I died laughing.

Once the whole league was down, I told them all to shower, get dressed, then come back to eat since we'd be leaving as soon as they finished. Before leaving, they stared at me tiredly. Toga grabbed a teaspoon off the counter (without breaking eye contact) Jin grabbed flour (without breaking eye contact) and they each took turns throwing it in my face.

"..That's fair." I smiled while wiping the soft powder out from the crevices in my face.

They droned off and left without making a sound. Like an army of robots.

With a small smile, I step into the dining area to see how everyone was enjoying the food.

"Touya your cooking is orgasmic."

"Tsuburaba please calm down."

"Eh... I still prefer Satou's cooking..."

"B...Bakugou...." Satou started tearing up. Bakugou's uncharacteristaclly relaxed eyes became angry and slanted within a split second.

"WHAT THE HELL?? WHY ARE YOU CRYING??"

"You... complimented me!!" He wiped his quickly watering eyes.

"I COMPLIMENT PEOPLE ALL THE TIME DAMMIT!!" He yells and Sero gains a smug smirk on his face, mouth and cheeks still filled with pancake and syrup running down his chin.

"Oh yeah? Compliment Midoriya then." Thinking he got him beat, Sero swallowed and rested his chin in his palm after wiping off the excess of syrup, eyes half lidded and looking at Bakugou challengingly.

Without missing a beat, or changing his expression, he looks over to Midoriya.

"Deku, I admire your work ethic and dedication to identifying and taking notes on whatever person with a quirk crosses your path. Your ambition and determination are nothing to be made fun of, and are even considered admirable." He finished his speech with the final bite of his pancake, standing up abruptly to leave the table with his slightly annoyed expression still worn and uncracked. He silently left, leaving the table behind him in complete shock.

"...K...K...

KACCHAAAAAAAAN!!!!!!!!"

Izuku was full on sobbing. Holding into Shouto while snot ran out of his nose and the tears rushed down his face like a waterfall. Across from him, I saw Kirishima also begin to tear up.

"KATSUKI... THAT WAS SO FUCKING MANLY!!!!!!! I'M SO PROUD!!!!!!!" He begins sobbing along with Izuku, pushing his plate aside and resting his head in his arms on the table. Puddles quickly started forming around the two.

"KACCHAAAAAN!!!!!"

"KATSUKIIIII!!!!!"

...I slide back into the kitchen.

Well ok then.

I look into the common room, and see a couple people have made it back from the showers. Hido looked comfy. He had a dark green sweater on with tiny purple letters on the front that said "Purple Haze", he wore slightly loose black dress pants and 2-inch dark brown platform oxfords. Toga wore a black overall dress with a white, yellow and red striped t-shirt underneath. She had a dark red leather jacket over it, boots with yellow laces and black fishnets. Shiggy was most simple. Wide v-necked red sweater with black ripped jeans, and powder blue and white sneakers.

Within the next couple minutes, the others came down. Sako was in a tight black turtleneck with purplish-red suit jacket over top. Ankle length pants to match the jacket and black saddle shoes to match the turtleneck. Shuichi wore black sneakers, grey sweatpants with black ribbed ankle cuffs pulled to his mid-calf, and a pale pink hoodie. Jin was wearing a dark purple button-up with dark blue pinstripes along with black jeans and a long sleeved black shirt underneath just pulled up to his elbows. Finished with navy blue loafers.

On cue, there was a knock at the door.

I jumped up to go and answer it, only expecting to see....

Aizawa!!!!

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yes!!!"

"Alright then...." He began to walk off slowly.

"SHIGGY! TOGA, HIDO, JIN, SHUICHI AND SAKO! TIME TO GO!!!" I scream back at them and go sprinting out of the door.

"WOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

"God please slow down."

"It's too early for this."

"I preferred it when I still had chocolate in my hair."

They couldn't slow me down if they tried.

-----------------------------------------------------

Sero's POV

"Finally... a training camp where villains didn't come attack us within the first 15 minutes!!!"

"Right? I was a little scared of a villain attack at first... but now I realize I should've been way more scared of the absolute hell Gunhead just put us through..."

"Hell? What do you mean? That was like a regular training session."

"We get it, Uraraka. You're secretly buff."

"..perhaps."

"Could you guys quiet down, please? Fumi's trying to take a nap."

"Oop- sorry Shouji."

"It's alright."

I was secretly listening in on the conversation between Kami, Ojirou and Uraraka until Shouji politely interrupted. I smiled slightly to myself as I listened to music on the way home. Yeah, Gunhead's training was tough, but with how nice the dude was throughout the whole thing, it felt less like complete Hell and more like a demon giving you a tour guide through it.

Ah... that's too mean. Gunhead's way more of an angel.

I suddenly feel the ground beneath us change, the ride getting just slightly bumpier, which only means one thing....

We're going over the bridge!!

Excitedly, I stick my head to look past Kaminari and out of our window. I don't know why, but I love looking over the sea and sky when crossing over bridges. It's so nice and beautiful...

"Oi, Sero!" Kiri calls from in front of me, getting more bored now that Bakugou's fallen asleep on the window.

"Quick question, how were your reflexes so good during your sparring with Ojirou?? Last I checked, you've never fought with him, and the guy's movements are so versatile and fluid it's almost like you can never tell how he's gonna attack next!" He pokes his head out from behind the seat, eyes wide and just slightly peaking from above the seat's back.

"Oh- honestly? Not sure. I just have this... super good intuition I guess. Like I can just guess how he'll attack next and sometimes I end up being right!" At my answer, Kirishima's mouth opens wider for a moment in surprise until he quickly closes it, a smug look on his face.

"So I guess you could say you have a.... spider sense?" The way he was smiling, the corners of his mouth were curled up almost like a cat's i let out a quick "pffft-" and shove his face away.

"Yeah, yeah. I guess I d-"

A shiver went up my spine.

My instincts immediately told me to look back to my left for some reason, and, before I knew it.

All I saw...

Was headlights.

After the bright flash of light, all I can remember was hearing a loud crash, a skid, and the thumping of dense bodies against the thin metal walls of our bus.

And the screams.

Oh the screams.

My eyes had shut themselves so quickly, I thought I'd just gone blind. But... when they were open again.... it was as if everything was in slow motion.

The terrified looks on my classmates' faces, the utter despair and fear of being taken completely by surprise, seeing their fingers ram first into the walls and shattering on impact, shards of glass cutting their faces and the blood spewing out slowly like a fountain, the desperate grabs at their friends to protect them from further harm... the tears... seeing the water get closer and closer as we flew off the bridge. I was stuck in the center of the bus and in midair, there was an odd serenity to witnessing a tragedy like this in such detail... but... looking towards the back of the bus...

There was no one else in the walk way.

There was nothing blocking me from the emergency exit all the way at the back of the bus.

In the blink of an eye.... I flew.

I aimed both of my elbows towards the back on either sides of the exit, I launched myself forward, kicking open the exit with one leg and stopping myself from exiting the bus with the other by slamming it on the rim outside of the door. Quicker than when they shoot out of my elbows, I tore off my current pieces of tape and shot out multiple strands at once at the bridge above us. The more area I cover, the less weight it'll take on me...

From what I can see, I cover the entire side of the bridge we were once driving on with my tape and completely suspend ourselves off the edge. Once that is done, more strands shoot from my elbow and tape my feet to the wall, and they shoot backwards towards my classmate and pull them back and stick to their seats.

As if the world had started again, the pull of the bus reaching the end of the tape snaps me out of my trance, and I'm back in real world time.

The bus is hanging on just barely.

The pain and pressure is coursing through every muscle in my body. Silently looking back, my classmates are all in their seats... including Mr. Aizawa, who was driving the bus.

But... most of all....

The skin splitting pain of my elbows.

I've never let out this many strands at onve before in my life, hell, I've barely let out three at once... so.... however many I'm doing now is completely shredding the skin of my elbows.

But I don't care.

All that matters is getting friends to safety.

My family to safety.

I need to make a plan....

"IS ANYONE HERE SEVERLY INJURED?!" I'm the first on the entire bus to speak, and I scream it out like my life depended on it

"THE ONES WHO GOT THE WORST OF IT ARE BAKUGOU, FUMIKAGE, SHINSOU AND KAMINARI."

...Denki...

I will save you.

I'll make a plan, and fast.

"URARAKA, I'M GOING TO FREE YOU. I NEED YOU TO ACTIVATE YOUR QUIRK ON TSU, AIZAWA, MOMO AND SHOUJI!!!!" I yell loud enough to hide the tears in my voice.

"YOU'VE GOT IT!"

I specifically pull up her line of tape. She first touches Tsu, then she's lowered to Aizawa, then I raise her to Shouji and Momo. Since they're all still connected with their tape, I'll control the direction they go upwards with!

"Momo, take my phone from my right pocket! My phone's password is Denki's birthday. Once you've punched it in and called your own phone, put it back on my shoulder!"

Yaomomo responds immediately, snatching my phone from my pocket as soon as she's within reach. She puts in the password and calls her cell, once it starts ringing, she puts in quickly on my shoulder.

"Here!"

"Thank you!!"

I lengthen my tape in one elbow and shorten the opposite, pulling myself to a single side as all four of them float out of the hole where the door once was.

As they leave, I see Aizawa give me a single look of pure shock.

In mid-air, I see Momo pull out her phone and put it to her ear.

"Momo! Tell me when Uraraka needs to release you onto the bridge above."

"I'm on it!!! Release us.... NOW!!"

"URARAKA-"

"RELEASE!!"

There's a few light thuds on Momo's end of the line.

"Here's the plan Yaomomo... I'm going to release everyone into the air, and it's your guys' jobs to catch them all and pull them to the ground for Uraraka to release. You all have long-range quirks perfect for capture. You'll do great." I give her a bit of encouragement before she even has the chance to doubt herself. I hear her breath hitch on the opposite line, and then a tearful "Ok!!"

"URARAKA!! I'M GOING TO BE RAISING AND LOWERING YOU TO TOUCH PEOPLE TO MAKE THEM FLOAT, TELL ME ONCE YOU START TO FEEL NAUSEOUS!"

"I GOT IT!!"

"START WITH THE MOST SEVERELY INJURED, BAKUGOU, TOKOYAMI, DENKI AND SHINSOU!"

With that being said, I raised her to each of their heights. Luckily, they were in four consecutive seats, so there wasn't much movement to make her nauseous. And, as they went up again, I controlled their direction with my tape.

"Momo, as soon as you see a body, grab it with your quirk!"

"Alright!" She yells and tells the people up on the bridge as well. I heard a crowd start to form around them, probably people on the bridge who I've been stopping.

The four of them flew out, and Yaomomo said they were placed gently onto the floor. She made futons for each of them to relax on.

"ALRIGHT, NEXT BATCH URARAKA!! GO AT RANDOM NOW!!"

I took her from the lowest seat, to the highest. The longer it took, the more pressure was weighed down on me, emotionally and physically. Even as the bus got lighter as more and more people left, it felt like it was getting heavier.... like anvils were being dropped constantly on top of the bus and breaking my legs further. I can support a bus entirely on my own forever.

The more people we let out, the more pieces of tape I cut off. The splitting pain in my elbows eased up, but that was about it.

We were at the final 6 seats. At this point, I was being driven insane with pain. It exhausted my every system, my every form of understanding. Never before have I felt pain this excruciating. As well as my body, I felt my mind splitting apart. I couldn't think straight anymore... and...and....

I suddenly feel this warm and sharp feeling in my right leg.

...blood.

Splurting everywhere.

How long has that been there?! Judging by the scratch marks... every since I kicked in the door!! I broke through the iron and it completely mutilated my leg, it's hanging on by THREADS!

"URARAKA HURRY THE F-" I completely winced in pain. I can't take it. I can't take it.

Everything is splitting apart. The muscles, the fibers, the bones, the veins and vessels. My mind... my mind... I'm losing it. Breath short, feeling,, haz,,zey,,,

No.

I'm going to pull through.

Everything's up to me.

"URARAKA LET EVERYONE LEFT UP AT ONCE!!!! INCLUDING YOURSELF!!!!"

"BuT- SERO, WHO'LL SAVE YO-"

"NEVER-FUCKING-MIND THAT, JUST LISTEN TO ME GODDAMMIT!!!" My scream curdled my own blood. I never realized I was capable of doing that.

Silently, Uraraka follows her orders. She taps everyone left at once, and they all exit the bus; including herself.

Omce they were caught, all strings were detached. All the tape sat limply near the bottom of the bus, or was hanging off the sides entirely.

The was only one left. My own.

The blood running down my elbows fell into my eyes, and it was only then did I feel the tears streaming down my face and neck.

I don't have the strength to pull myself up.

In an instant, I release my legs from the rims of the wall and let the bus fall into the water below me, my body fitting perfectly through the hole.

I screamed at my bones popping back into a straight position after being pressurized into bending for so long. I couldn't tell whether he violently popped or broke. Either way, I couldn't move them.

I couldn't move my arms.

I could only dangle.

Between the rim of life and death.

I was so ready to let go... so ready to end the torturous pain coursing through my every nerve...

Until..

"HANTAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" I heard a familiar voice shout above me.

The electrically yellow hair.

That black lighting.

He's ok.

Denki's ok.

"YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO ANYTHING ELSE, BABY. JUST HANG IN THERE!!! WE'LL PULL YOU UP, JUST DON'T LET GO

NEVER LET GO!!!"

I listened. With the help of everyone else in class (that was conscious), I was hoisted up in absolutely no time.

My jagged skin hit the hot asphalt, almost cooking me alive.

I've never felt happier to touch asphalt in my life.

I was facing upwards, and, as a godsend, Denki leaned down and gave me the most gentle kiss in my life. So gentle I feel I could cry.

He looked at me through puffy eyes. An uncontrollable and quivering smile laced across his face, the sun above almost completely blocking my view of him...

He was golden.

"You did it, Hanta..."

...I did it.

It was all up to me.

And I did it.
