Ochako came through the warp gate with Spinner right behind her. The two of them flashed everyone a smile. Izuku jumped at Ochako the first chance he had got. She tried to hug him but he winced in pain once she touched his back. It seemed Black whip had reopened the barely healed wounds but he would deal.

"I heard the whole thing. Bakugou got grilled badly by Sara and Alice. Even me. I was so pissed."

"Ohhh, she said a bad word!" Dabi teased.

She whipped around to stare at him. She studied him with brown eyes before moving forward towards him. She slipped her hands under his arms and hugged him tight. His face colored pink.

"Hug me back! No reason to be shy now!"

Dabi could see Tomura snickering like the asshole he was. He gave in and hugged her.

"Much better!"

She turned to Sako who looked a little unsure.

"So, I have these for you to fill out. I'd be more than happy to stay and help you out. I know it's boring and everything but it has to be done."

"Anything for you dear. It doesn't bother me."

She went through the paperwork with him while sneaking looks at Dabi. It was apparently so obvious because Izuku gave a thumbs up at some point. This action made her turn bright pink and ignore Dabi until they were finished with the paperwork.

"I never thought this would ever happen. Look at all of us."

"Why's it so noisy?" Jin asked coming out rubbing his eyes.

Himiko had some hardcore morning sickness and he had been up all night listening to her vomit.

"Mr. Compress-

"Just Sako now, Jin."

He gave the man a hug.

"I missed you guys!"

"Spinner!"

The reptile like man rolled his eyes and laughed giving Jin a hug.

"What happens now?" Izuku asked.

"I will go file the paperwork. Why didn't you tell me or Shouto that you had your boss as back up?"

Tomura looked up from his drink.

"You told your boss about us?"

"Kind of.... She was on board immediately without really questioning me.... That's why it was so easy for me to do all the things I did."

"She's really scary," Iguchi said, "Her daughter is the same way. She just got her hero license actually too."

"Really? It's about time!" Izuku said excitedly.

Ochako smiled. She had no idea Dabi had sat down beside of her.

"Hey."

She jumped a little and turned to face him. He had a soft smile on his face.

"How are you doing?"

"A little better since you're here."

Ochako smiled softly.

"When this shit over with, we should do another movie night."

She laughed and nodded.

"I would love that."

Yea, he would too.

Tomura got out of bed, making sure not to disturb Izuku. He had gotten into the habit of sleeping on his stomach because of his back. It was little bad but Shigaraki did everything he could to help keep it clean so it didn't get infected. He tiptoed out very slowly without making a sound.

He walked into the living area to see Kurogiri sitting on the couch watching TV. He didn't turn to look at him or even twitch for that matter. Tomura wasn't sure how to ask him for a trip to Izuku's apartment. They all had promised to stay away except for Dabi who continued to feed the cat Fishstick, since Endeavor was there.

"Is something bothering you?"

"I need a warp to the apartment."

Kurogiri blinked without saying anything.

"I need to do something. I'm not trying to kill Endeavor or anything I promise. I'm sure Todoroki would love that but I have to do something else."

"Are you running away?" he asked sounding suspicious.

"NO!" he snapped.

He rubbed the back of his neck with a weird expression on his face.

"Sorry, I just.... This is hard for me. Can you go with me?"

Kurogiri nodded as Tomura scratched his neck lightly.

"Let's go. I'm sure everyone will be fine here. We are in a different country currently."

Shigaraki only nodded.

The two of them stepped into the living room. The place looked exactly the same as it did when they left. Endeavor was no where to be found but maybe he had went out to get some air or something to eat. Tomura headed for their bedroom with Kurogiri following him to the room. Tomura locked the door once the mist man was inside. He walked over to the closet and opened it.

This is so fucking stupid. Why am I doing this?

He dragged out the plastic container he had placed all his precious hands in and sat down. Kurogiri sat on the bed behind him with the mattress squeaking a little bit as he sank down a little. Shigaraki held his breath as he opened the lid. They were right where he left them, sitting on top of a red blanket Izuku gave him because he had asked for one.

I think it's time.

He let out a shaky breath and reached in, grabbing them one by one, placing them into his lap. He was really thankful Kurogiri just stayed quiet. Tomura really wanted him there just for support since he was the usual constant in his life. This is was weird for him..... to be open and vulnerable.

It was still weird with Izuku even.

I can't believe I said all of that in front of that asshole. Too late to go back now I guess since I already said it.

Shigaraki looked down at the hands in his lap. Hana, Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, Grandmother Nana, Grandpa and Father. They were all there in his lap. His eyes started to water up and a few tears slipped down his cheeks. He sniffed a few times and Kurogiri placed a misty hand on his back.

He stayed silent though. That was good.

Tomura wiped his nose on his shirt. He never once reflected his feelings about those hands. They were a reminder of the horrible shit he had done. The horrible things his father had done to him. His whole life had sucked so bad he might've beat Dabi and Shouto in that area.

He wiped his face. He took a deep breath.

"I think it's time to say goodbye."

Kurogiri was stunned. Tomura went everywhere with those hands but since they all had stayed with the hero, they were seen less and less.

"You sure....?"

"Yea. Part of that life is over. I'm not Tenko Shimura anymore. I only held on to them because I thought it was the right thing to do because I was told too."

"They've been everything to you-

"I have you guys now. I have to let go at some point. Izuku had said he was ok with it but.... I'm not so sure anymore. I don't think I'm ok with having them anymore."

He placed all of them back in and pulled a glove off.

It was way more painful than he thought it would be. Tomura Shigaraki wasn't a sap but this was his family. The crappy one he wished would've worked. The one he wished his father hadn't acted like a horrible asshole. The one he wished his mother and grandparents would've spoken up for.

The one where his big sister was still alive.

He wished All Might came and found him against his grandmother's wishes. Tenko Shimura needed to be saved, his older sister too. He could've been a hero right beside of Izuku. They could've done their dream together. He could've done the brother-sister team his sister she had mentioned.

He could never have any of that with her or with Izuku. He fucked up but he had just wanted someone- anyone to help him when he needed it. He wasn't a bad kid- he just wanted what every kid wanted and that was to follow his dream. Tenko had just been a little kid.

Now Tomura Shigaraki was an adult. He had to let it go.

His hand touched the hands that belonged to his dead family and they started to crumble away quickly. All fourteen turned too dust within a few minutes, covering up the red blanket in a thing layer of dust. He replaced the lid on top and laid his head on it, sobbing silently. The display of emotion had stunned the misty man but he remained quiet.

They had been there almost two hours before the thin man managed to calm down.

"Would you like to lay them to rest?"

Tomura raised his head to look at him. Kurogiri was kneeling down beside of him with a hand on his shoulder. He nodded with his face wet with tears.

"Let me get something and I'll be back."

A few minutes passed when a warp appeared. Tomura picked up the container and walked through the gate. He was hit with the familiar smell of flowers. He took in a deep breath and let out a shaky breath. Kurogiri stood there in the moonlight with two shovels.

"Why are we here?"

"To bury them. To give them their final resting places. One day, I would love to be put to rest here too."

Tomura's face fell some. That wasn't something he wanted to think about.

"That won't happen for a long time though."

"Oh. Right."

"Let's go over there. There's that willow tree I love so much. I think that's a fine place."

"Wouldn't that.... be taking your place?"

Kurogiri smiled but it was hard to tell, "I don't mind being with the rest of them since you were pretty much my son too."

Tomura swallowed hard and nodded.

The two of them made quick work and dug a hole that was a little bigger and deeper. Tomura placed the container in and Kurogiri placed seven flowers on top. They threw dirt on there together, packing the dirt in tightly. The two of them left without a single word.

It was odd, as sad as the whole thing was he felt relieved.

Now it was it was time to make things right for him. For all of them.
