- At the hospital, after the attack from Stain -

- Third Person POV -

"Izu, are you okay?" Todoroki nudged his awakening boyfriend who muttered something underneath his breath.

Waking up to white walls was never a good sign to the family, or the stiffness of the chairs nor the stuffiness of the room.

Bad memories always seemed to lurk around the corner. They always did. Life is a maze, something around the corner, another path to get lost on.

"Heard that you little f*cktard." Aizawa grumbled menacingly careful whilst sitting up as to not awaken his sleeping air horn of a husband. Those words were always very sweet.

"Ugh..." Was all the greenete bothered to say in return before pecking Todoroki on the cheek making the latter turn red, unused to the affection after the week long trance he was in. "Long... How... I sleep?"

His grammar was not awake at the moment.

"You missed the exams. You'll be facing against All Mig-" Yamada smacked his hand groggily over Aizawas face. The slap echoed the room leaving only awkward silence in tow.

"Not that now, Sho baby! You slept a week, how are ya feeling now?" Voice soft and soothing it lulled your asleep, but usually woke you up. It's good to be on edge in this family.

"Tired... Sleepy?" Todoroki just found himself a space on the small bed and cuddled nonchalantly as he found no comfort in rest on the dirty and rather uncomfortable tile floor of the hospital earlier on from the week.

The group tried to decipher the fact he was still tired after a weeks long rest.

Midoriya jumped out of the bed startling everyone, speaking as he walked off, "ugh hate bathroom of hospital." He stopped and turned around. "What the f*ck happened to my grammar."

Everyone shrugged. Aizawa cleared his throat banging his head against the wall ever so softly. Definitely a highly recommended way to relieve stress.

A nurse passed by, unbothered by the frequent visitor who often decided when he left the bed and not, despite strict curfew.

Minutes past by until the boy returned eye bags visible in the dim light. Everyone was to tired to converse, not even about Stain and that feat. Of course, that didn't mean they weren't thinking about it.

Midoriyas face visibly scrunched up as he blinked furiously holding in tears.

"Hey, problem child, it's okay. You saved a lot of people." A group hug commenced, tense words hanging thick in the air seemingly flowing through the walls.

It was tranquil in the least, beeping of monitors, eerie footsteps, the flickering of a light in the hallway, and the one unfindable fly immune to getting killed somehow.

Already paid and done worth paperwork the four left in a rush speeding home to the house. No one knew why, just a sense of urgency in the air commanded them to do so.

Shinso opened the door, eye bags too, shining in the sunrise. Somehow about that broke Midoriyas heart. You could tell that Shinso had been crying, and that activated tears to pour from the duos eyes.

Yamada scooped up Todoroki from the backseat as the boy passed out very quickly, the mental and physical toil of everything too much a burden to carry on ones shoulders.

They all stuffed through the crowded doorway stumbling either to the couches or the kitchen to get a beer plus an apple juice pack, which proves for a weird combination for a weird blackette.

It was pure silence in the rented house, (the other one was still a mess), until Yamada spoke up.

"Zuku, we need to talk. We're worried for you, all of us are." The other nodded in agreement all avoiding eye contact with everyone else. "About the bathroom incident, about..." He stopped. "Her." His voice was as silent as it could be the mourning expression on his face painful and disgraced.

"I'm not here to listen to lies so I won't ask how you are. Just talk if you want to." Shinso added, his own remorse laced in his words.

Sniffles was all they got in return along with cat cuddles and purrs. The room held a solemn silence as if the world went quiet. No chaos, no pain, no anything.

Everyone was unused to a peaceful time so much that it needed to be filled. They all felt unworthy of the times of break, the need to do something about the utter panic happening in the city overwhelmed them until in a united way, (including Todoroki who was awoken,) left the door and walked from the house into the wide stretch of the almost abandoned neighborhoods.

In masses people left the city. Some packing in bulk, others taking a wallet and car only. In trying times everyone longed for something they couldn't have.

And Midoriya, longed for himself back. His soul, his passion, his will to fight without being powered on rage and depression. His way to feel whole, to cuddle with his boyfriend. He would do anything to get his life back. To get his families life back. Anything.

Including turning himself in to his mom.

He kept the plan secret knowing she wanted him dead. He knew her too well. The way she changed in the past from longing her husband to despising him to loving her son till she hated him dead.

Everyone had a funeral in their minds and some were about to be executed. Literally. On a mass scale.

A call rang out on a cell phone, quickly answered. You could hear the frantic voice on the other side of the line, it was All Might. Inko was spotted.

Sprinting seemed to slow and time went by even slower. Midoriya was far in front of the group along with Todoroki, using their quirks to power themselves to the old power plant with ease.

Flabbergasted by the amounts of ruins on the building they stood there in pure shock as the other caught up.

A laughter rang out. Fighting stances were ensued.

A crowd of citizens were lead out of the building by men and women alike —probably hit men — guns aimed at all of their heads.

A voice bellowed out of the speakers. "GIVE ME THE BOY! OR~, THEY DIE!" Her last word was coated with blood, and in disbelief once again no sounds could even be uttered. "YOU HAVE ONE HOUR! ENJOY, IZUKU!" The taunt was blatant, hidden to none.

Police were everywhere, the FBI, the CIA, and every pro hero on the charts. All looked at the greenete.

The timer started, broadcasted over the hidden loudspeaker as if crackled.

"I have to do this." Green lightning replaced the form of a boy before anyone could do anything.

"NO!" Todoroki cried out, scratching at his face and speeding after, Shinso, Aizawa, and Yamada in tow.

"STOP!" Yamada screeched. But it would do nothing. Aizawa was speechless as he went on, but you could see his emotions in his eyes.

Grief hid in everyone's eyes. The bystanders even too.

In a flash the citizens in custody were released, the members of whatever group Inko led retreating to the building after being shot at rapidly by hundreds upon hundreds of armed members of the law enforcement.

Fights rang out quickly, the building was flooded four specific people leading the charge in. But their beloved boy was nowhere to be seen. The building was, and put simply, appeared to have had nobody in there to begin with.

| League Of Villains second hideout |

The main prisoner dangled down from chains in a large room painted red with blood. The chains were rusted and old bound to hurt more than the position the chained person was forcefully put it.

Inko snickered maniacally, she had lost her mind. The plan was to use Kurogiri's portals and the old plant to boggle the police and d*mn right it worked. Perfect execution.

The protagonist of our story was nowhere to be seen. Not where he was supposed to be kept either. It was good that no one knew this yet.

The villains, in the self conscious of themselves figured they were save until 2:00am sharp, a battle seen but fought in the dark.

So many died, there's no other words to put that in. For weeks and months to come little kids cried over the graves of the fallen, their family members and parents.

The world went silent and literally this time. The news crews were overwhelmed and many just stopped filming in general for the respect of the lost lives.

Memorials filled the streets and people gathered together, but in reality have never been farther apart.

Harsh facts arose. Therapists were booked full. Businesses either thrived or were scrunched out. Many lost a job or gained a promotion. But no one valued those things. They weren't won nor lost in a fair way.

Not just law enforcement officers passed. Citizens. The innocent. Many passed in the battle.

Suicide rates were up and so many suffered. The internet was blasted with goodbyes and thank you's, with save the dates for funerals tagged in the comments.

Widows mourned the loss and churches ran full. Flower shops were bought out and the graveyards were full.

Heroes retired. Many quirks were targeted in ways to remove them. All Might fought his last days. But that's not the most important part either.

It's the fact that it was fought over a single kid.

A single greenete.

To save him.

No one else.

But.

He.

Wasn't.

There.
