You woke up as Sakusa came into your room that morning. "Morning." You greet with a yawn, rubbing the fox's back.

           "... Why is this still happening?" Sakusa inquires, pointing at Atsumu. 

           "It's a habit now." You shrug before pausing as another bundle of fur shifts on the other side of you. You blink at the grey fox as he raises his head with a yawn. "Aw! 'Samu!" You gush hugging him and cuddling his cheek happily.

             "Now there's two vermin in your bed." Sakusa sighs, shaking his head.

             "Guys!" Ryuu calls, suddenly crashing into your door frame.

              "What's wrong Ryuu?" You ask as he looks about your room seeming uneasy.

              "Come see!" He waves you guys to follow him. You and Sakusa exchange a glance before following after him, downstairs and into the living room where many were watching the television with grave faces.

              ' This morning many in Okari are waking up to find their hero academy flattened to the ground. Along with a number of their young heroes to be- dead or severely injured. No one knows what has happened or how this all transpired without the local hero agency being alerted, but what we do know is, the villain Bloody Horizon has struck again.' The reporter says with a destroyed building in the background.

           "How many dead?" Nishinoya asks quietly.

           "Thirty dead, a hundred more in critical condition." Oikawa answers with a heavy tone. He then turns to everyone. 

          "Listen up, since Okari is our closest neighbor I'm going to talk to the headmaster about going over and assisting with the clean up. And I also want to make curfew an hour earlier for the time being. If that villain is in the area we need to keep a close eye on everyone. So no leaving campus alone…. If you want to help with clean-up, remain here after breakfast. If not, go to class and focus and getting stronger." He states before going out with Iwaizumi close behind.

              A silence falls over the room after that, no one moving as the news shows clips of the destruction again. You didn't even feel hungry now, you doubted anyone did. Sakusa looks about the room, eyes falling on you for a few moments. 

              "Those feelings of regret and guilt for those fallen will do nothing but kill your drive. There is nothing else to be done except for what needs to be done. If you feel awful then get ready to help with the clean up." He says loudly, turning to head to the kitchen. "Then focus on becoming stronger so you will not join them too soon in the future." He adds going into the kitchen. 

             You look after him, his cold rationality was a bit uplifting. "Alright, lets get some working clothes on there's going to be a lot of rubble to clean up." Nishinoya says, straightening up.

             "I'll get my goggles, there might be people they missed." Kenma murmurs going out. 

             "We should grab the metal covers for our claws then." Osamu says to his brother.

              "Right. It'll be bad if we ruin our claws." Atsumu agrees, going out. You peer after them before going to the kitchen.

             "So, what are you thinking for breakfast?" You ask Sakusa, moving to his side.

              "With the lack of appetite, something simple should do. Just going to need the energy for the clean up." He answers. You nod and help him once you get an idea of what was going on.

              As you and Sakusa finish and take the food to the dining hall, Oikawa and Iwaizumi return. 

              "Thanks you two." Iwaizumi nods, sitting down to eat.

              "We got the clear to head over and assist. Make sure you stay with the group when we head out. We'll be doing a headcount before we leave." Oikawa announces as more people come in to eat.

            "Yessir."

~*~*

             You survey what is left of Okari High School and shift. "This school was a lot bigger than ours…" You murmur as everyone starts to scatter to help with the clean up. 

             "Don't dwell on it too much." Sakusa says, gloved hand touching your back briefly. 

             "Right. I'll go to the higher spots and work my way down." You decide, moving up to the top of the rubble to start clearing it with your quirk. It doesn't take long for you to uncover a body. You stop, swallowing slightly before straightening up. "Found a deceased." You call. A pro hurries over to you, looking at the body before touching your shoulder lightly.

              "Alright. We'll handle this, go to a different spot." He says lightly.

              "Y-Yes." You nod, moving away and forcing down a lump in your throat, telling yourself it was part of being a hero. 

               You start clearing another pile, uncovering another body halfway through. A pro comes over and you're sent to another spot, heart feeling heavier and heavier. 'There's really no one left alive here… We're all about the same age too…' The thoughts were sounding louder and more distressed.

             "Aone! Aone!" A child cries, running onto the destruction, searching about frantically.

             "Kota! You can't be here." A guy your age with brown hair comes to retrieve him.

              "No! He's here Futakuchi! I know he is. See!?" The boy raises his hands and an ice crystal forming between them. "I can still make ice!"

              "Kota… I don't think-" Futakuchi pauses, looking at you as you come to the boy.

               "Ice?" You breathe distractedly, touching it. 

               "Yes! Aone has to be alive! He's my strong cousin! He's gonna be a hero!" The boy declares, tears forming in his eyes as he shakes slightly. "Please… Help me find him." He sniffs. You nod and look about, spotting Kenma and hurrying over to him. 

               "Kenma. Are you using your heat vision?" You ask.

               "Not anymore, the corpses don't show up on it." He says, looking at you, eyes green with the whites black.

               "Can it show ice? Apparently there was someone with an ice quirk here." You whisper. He pauses, eyes widening and changing to blue and red before looking over at something.

               "It's not a leak…" He breathes, rushing over a pile until he was looking straight down and pointing at something beneath. "Here! About three feet down!" He tells you urgently. 

               "Alright. Nishinoya! I need you." You call as you hurry to Kenma's side.

               "What's up? You find something?" Nishinoya inquires, joining you.

               "I think so. Can you use your wind to clear the particles I send up? I need to be able to see what I touch." You request.

               "No problem I got ya." He nods and you start. With the breeze Nishinoya sent over the rubble you steadily clear the way. Three feet down and you come to an ice block with someone within. 

               "He's here…" You hesitantly touch the ice, crystal like particle mist getting swept away by the wind as you fully uncover the large guy. You swallow, pulling your right hand away as you look over him. He didn't seem hurt. You reach your left hand to check his pulse when Kota comes onto the rubble and spots him.

              "Aone!" He cries out and the large teen's eyes snap open, locking onto you just before you're sent flying by an ice pillar to the torso. 

              You crash into a nearby pile, holding your chest and stomach and coughing in pain as you roll onto your side. "___!" Atsumu and Osamu run up from a nearby pile. "Are you okay!?" 

               "He's… Alive." You cough, smiling in relief as you hear Kota wailing in relief as Aone stands up. 

               "Wow. Someone lived?" Atsumu murmurs looking over as Osamu helps you up. "That's great!" 

               "Yeah. It is." You chuckle in pain.

               "Oh! Ah- Kiyoko-San! ___ needs healing!" Atsumu gasps, hurrying to get the medic.

                 "You okay? Lean on me if you want." Osamu breathes as Kota leads Aone and Futakuchi over.

                 "Thank you for believing me! Alone is alright." Kota tells you cheerfully.

                 "No problem. I'm glad he's in good shape." You smile at the boy before looking at Aone. "But you still need to see the pros. They're going to want to hear everything you know." 

               He gives a nod, frowning slightly before bowing. "...Sorry…"

               "Huh? No that's okay, nothing compared to taking on the Dorm President." You wave it off. "Finding you alive is good enough for me." You add. He straightens and nods. A pro soon leading them off site. Kiyoko comes over right after to heal you up before you can continue to clear the rubble. By the time it was done, you had uncovered five more bodies. The others had similar findings. Some were lucky to find wounded. 

           You stand with your dormmates, eating and hydrating before the journey back to the dorm. 

            "___, your phone is going off." Sakusa says, pulling you from your thoughts. 

            "Oh. Must be Tendo, it's gone off a few times today…" You murmur, pulling out your phone and answering it. "Hey Tendo. Sorry. We've been helping at Okari all day." You answer, moving away from the group.

              'Eh? Really? That sucks… You okay?'

              "I… Yeah I'm fine… Just… Rough…" You breathe rubbing your neck. 

              'Are you heading back to your dorm soon? I'll stop by, sounds like you could use a hug.'

               "Yeah… But it seems dangerous right now so maybe it's best you stay on campus." 

               'Mmmm… Nope I'm coming to see you.' 

               "Tendo… Okay. I'll see you soon then." You breathe.

               'See you soon.' He hums and hangs up. You go back to the group, putting your phone back in your pocket as Oikawa and Iwaizumi count everyone.

              "Looks like everyone is here. Lets get on the bus and head home." Oikawa nods and everyone piles onto the bus. You end up sitting next to Kuroo, who seemed exhausted and uncharacteristically solem. He peers at you as you watch him, before you reach over and rest his head on your shoulder. He pauses before sighing heavily and leaning into your warmth, hiding his face in your shoulder. You lean your head on his as the bus leaves there, closing your eyes to rest for a bit. 

         You get off the bus, Kuroo and Nishinoya leaning on you quietly as everyone makes their way to the dorm. You walk in as Tendo leaves the kitchen, blinking at the group sympathetically.

          "I got you guys take-out if you're hungry." He says, opening his arms to you. You go over and hug him, hiding your face in his chest as you start to shake. "There there…. You did good today…" He says softly, rubbing your back. 

            'Too many dead… And for what?' You think squeezing him. 

            A few hands come over your back all understanding your feelings. Nishinoya hugs your side, hiding his face. Tendo peers at all of them before tightening his arms around you. 

           "Not everyone will be saved ___, all you can do is to help the ones remaining find peace. I don't know why this happened, but all you can do is go forward. You can carry the ghosts in your heart if you want. But that might be a heavy burden." He says lightly, pulling away to peer at your face with a head tilt, smiling lightly. "Okay?" 

            "... Okay. You're right." You nod, relaxing a bit. He rubs your cheeks a bit.

           "Alright. Let's eat, then watch something happy okay?" He hums. 

            "Yeah alright." You agree.

            You didn't eat much didn't seem like anyone did, but everyone thanked Tendo anyway. Tendo was trying to lighten the mood, gathering everyone in the living room to watch a few comedy movies. That did seem to lift everyone's spirits at least. For a little bit the long day seemed to melt away. Then Tendo had to return to his school.

             "Be careful please." You frown slightly.

             "Don't worry about me. I'll be fine." He assures, patting your head. "I'll message you when I get back and make sure you double up your gloves before bed." 

             "... Hold on Tendo. We'll escort you back." Iwaizumi says coming forward and touching your shoulder. "That'll put you at ease right?" He glances at you.

            "I'll go too." Bokuto says, out of everyone he seemed the most down.

            "As Dorm President I also feel obligated to make sure our guest gets back safe." Oikawa chimes in. Tendo's eyebrows raise at them before he chuckles lightly.

             "Ah must be a hero thing." He shakes his head peering at you. "Alright fine. Bunch of worrywarts. Lets go." He says leading the small group out. 

             "Thanks." You tell Iwaizumi as you walk together.

             "No problem. I think we could use the night air." He says, glancing at Bokuto. You follow his gaze before falling into step with Bokuto. Even his hair seemed down as he looks at the ground with a frown. You touch his back lightly and he glances at you.

             "I couldn't find any alive… They were all dead." He murmurs. You frown rubbing his back trying to think of something to cheer him up.

             "Well… You saved me- twice. If it hadn't been for you I wouldn't have been able to save Atsumu, or Aone. So technically you did save someone today. Thank you Bokuto." You smile a bit. He blinks at you, eyes gradually lighting up a smile returning to his lips.

            "So whoever you save I also helped save." He concludes.

            "Yes." You nod. He chuckles and hugs you tightly before moving ahead to chat with Tendo. Iwaizumi and Oikawa both give you a thumbs up. 

           Arriving outside of Kuri Academy, Tendo stops to hug you warmly. "You picked a good school ___," He murmurs. 

           "Yeah. I did good with my random pick." You chuckle as he pulls away, taking your right hand briefly. 

           "Be careful ___ Bloody Horizon seems to be targeting Hero schools specifically." He warns quietly, a grave expression coming over his face briefly before he leans forward and touches his forehead to yours. "Let me know when you return." He adds before looking at the other second years. "Thank you for taking care of ___, I'll be stopping by soon." He waves before heading past the gates. 

           "Alright. Let's head back." Oikawa says turning to lead the way back.

           "Tooru Oikawa." A deeper voice sounds from the gates, making Oikawa's lip curls and his eyes roll briefly. You look back as a large guy steps off campus, Tendo hanging by smiling A bit. 

            "What do you want, Ushijima?" Oikawa questions, turning back. "And don't call me by my full name."

             "Come to Kuri Academy. It won't be long before we become the top hero school in the country." Ushijima tells him. "Your quirk is wasted at Raizu." 

             "Not this shit again." Iwaizumi mutters. 

             "Wasted? I'm not sure what you mean by that. I'm still going to be the number one hero no matter what." Oikawa shrugs.

              "Raizu is a school that will spawn villains. It's better for hero quirks to go to Kuri Academy." Ushijima states, gaze sweeping to you for a moment. You blink, opening your mouth but before you could even react, Oikawa steps in front of you.

              "We only have heroes at Raizu. Your quirk discrimination has no proof. So back off." Oikawa says with a cold glare.

              "I didn't say anything that isn't true. It's in Raizu's history after all." Ushijima points out. "I will apologize if I struck a nerve. I meant no offense."

               "I'm not coming to Kuri Academy. Now if you'll excuse us." Oikawa turns about again, nudging you to take the lead. You just nod, turning and moving on with Iwaizumi and Bokuto flanking you. 

                "You stepped on a land mine there Wakatoshi." Tendo comments, stepping beside Ushijima as they watch your group leave. "They're all a bit protective of my little ___." He smiles cheerfully. 'Good for you ___…'

               "I see that… Too bad for the quirk. ___ would've been welcomed here too." Ushijima says, turning and walking back onto campus. Tendo blinks, glancing after him as his smile falls and he looks toward the disappearing group again. 

              "Too bad for that good nature actually…" He mutters as the wind kicks up from behind, sweeping his hair down just above his eyes. "But I'm sure that'll unravel soon. My dear friend."

            You shiver slightly as the wind blows past You. "Ah… It's going to be a chilly night…" You murmur looking around the dark streets. Not far from the dorms now. 

            "You need extra blankets?" Iwaizumi asks.

            "No I think I'll be fine." You assure.

            "You can always come sleep in my bed if you get cold." Bokuto says thoughtfully.

            "No no no." Oikawa shakes his head.

            "Fine. I'll go to your room." Bokuto decides.

            "That's the same thing. And it's still a no." Oikawa scowls.

            "Then what is your idea?" Iwaizumi gives him a look.

            "As Dorm President it's my job to ensure the comfort of the dorm occupants. So ___ can come to my room." Oikawa states.

             "... Isn't Kuroo's window still broken? You never offered him to go to your room." Bokuto tilts his head.

             "That's because Kuroo looks like he snores." 

              "No he doesn't. His face is always in his pillow." Bokuto says. 

               "Guys. I don't need to go to someone's room. I'm fine." You intervene. 

               "Those were both bad ideas anyway. You're better off going to mine if there's a problem." Iwaizumi states. 

            "What's that supposed to mean?" Bokuto asks.

            "Yeah Iwa-chan that's rude." Oikawa huffs. You chuckle a bit but the moment is interrupted by a nearby explosion that makes everyone freeze, looking toward a nearby neighborhood. "Bokuto."

             "On it." Bokuto says, taking off his shirt so his wings could come out, taking flight. 

             "Lets go, ___ stay with me and listen to what I say." Iwazumi orders as the three of you run after Bokuto. 

             "Yes." You respond, keeping up the best you could. 

             You come upon a blazing house, heat it released, making you and Oikawa stop. Bokuto circles above. 

              "I'm going in. Bokuto! You see anyone in there?" Iwaizumi calls.

              "Two on the second floor over here." Bokuto points. "I don't see anyone else." He says, flying lower and focusing on the house as Iwaizumi rushes in 

             "Is he going to be okay?" You gasp.

              "Yeah, he has a fire quirk." Oikawa assures watching the flames. "Be ready though. If that building starts to come down we'll need your quirk." You both look back as the neighbors start to rush over. "Everyone stay back please." He requests, chains coming out to secure the area. 

             "Bokuto! Catch!" Iwaizumi calls from a window before tossing someone out. Bokuto swoops in, catching the boy before bringing him to you. Iwaizumi leaps out with a teen, hurrying over. "They said the mom should be in there, I'm going back in." He tells Oikawa before running back in. 

         "I'm sowwy! I'm sowwy!" The boy cries, clinging to your shirt. 

         "Shh." You pat his back. "Are you hurt?" 

         "N-no…" He sniffs.

         "It's… not your fault." His older brother coughs, reaching over and patting his head. 

          "B-But-" The boy tries to argue, a crash makes you all stiffen and look toward the house.

          "It's going to fall in." Oikawa gasps.

          "I don't see Iwaizumi." Bokuto says.

          "Mom's room is upstairs." The teen says. You swallow, passing the boy to Oikawa before taking off your glove and rushing in. Amongst the fire you find your way to the staircase where Iwaizumi was trying to lift part of the ceiling off an unconscious woman. You hurry over, touching it to make it burst.

            "___!" Iwaizumi coughs. 

            "Come on!" You tell him as he scoops her up. There's a cracking sound and another part of the roof falls over your escape route. "Shit." You hiss. 

             "Lets just charge through together." He tells you. You give him an uneasy look. "You can do it. I'm here with you." He says, eyes burning into yours. You swallow and nod, pulling him close to your side and rushing forward, right hand swiping out and clearing the way until you reach the outside. Another loud cracking sounds and Iwaizumi tosses the woman to Oikawa who catches her with his chains. Iwaizumi pulls you under him as the building collapses, flames lashing out over his back. 

            "___! Iwaizumi!" Bokuto calls worriedly. The flames pull away and you look over Iwaizumi's shoulder.

            "I'm okay!" You call back. "You okay?" You ask Iwaizumi quickly.

            "Yeah. Just some burns." He assures, rigidly standing up and helping you to your feet.

            You nod, carefully helping him back to the others as a fire truck and ambulance pull up. Oikawa touches yours and Iwaizumi's shoulder. "You both did good." He breathes.

             After you make the reports with the police, and Iwaizumi's burns are tended to, you all finally return to the dorms. 

              "They're back!" Nishinoya calls before crashing into you with a hug. "What took you so long!?... You smell like smoke." He sniffs at you. 

              "There was a house fire nearby." You explain. 

              "Oh. Hero work! Good job!" He smiles and relaxes.

              "Are any of you hurt? I'll get Kiyoko." Asahi says worriedly.

              "Iwaizumi has some burns." You tell him.

              "You do too." Iwaizumi reminds you.

              "They're not as bad as yours, the paramedics were not even worried about them." You point out.

              "You should still get them tended to." He retorts.

             "Yeah yeah." You say waving your hand.

             "Do they hurt?" Sakusa asks, coming over.

             "Not really." You tell him looking to the side as Kiyoko rushes in, pulling you and Iwaizumi close to her. Iwaizumi presses his lips together, looking away from her. 

             "Thank you Shimizu…" He mutters.

             "I'm glad neither of you are badly hurt." She says, rubbing your head.

             "Of course not. I have good senpais." You respond, nudging Iwaizumi. He smirks a bit, nudging you back.

              "Pretty sure you saved me this time." He scoffs.

             "I saved another one!" Bokuto cheers rushing upstairs. "Hey! Akaashi!"

             "Glad to see Bokuto back." Kuroo comments. 

             "There ___, all healed." Kiyoko hums. 

             "Thank you." You give a slight bow before going to Sakusa. "It's been a long day." You tell him.

             "You're not wrong. Let's go." Sakusa breathes, guiding you upstairs.

             "You're going to need a new shirt," Atsumu comments, poking at a few holes.

             "I'll give you one of mine." Osamu assures.

             "Huh? That's okay this isn't my only shirt." You tell him.

             "... I already picked out the shirt, I'll go get it." Osamu says moving to his room. 

             "Me too." Atsumu pipes up, going to his room. 

             "... Why is everyone being so nice to me?" You whisper.

             "Aren't they just treating you like you treat them?" Sakusa points out.

             "You think so? I just… Never…" You trail off looking down.

             "I get it." He hums watching you before looking away. "But I think you deserve it. Sleep well." He adds before going into his room..

             "Goodnight." You call after him before opening your door and going in as the twins return, both offering up a shirt. Osamu's had a cute onigiri icon on it and Atsumu's had some odd joke on it. You take the shirts, smile coming to your lips. "I don't need them… But I love them so I'll take them." You chuckle before gathering clothes and a towel. "Gonna take a shower go ahead and get comfortable." You add going into the bathroom.

           When you come back out the two foxes are curled up on your bed. You crawl on, petting their heads before moving under the covers, cuddling up to the grey fox and nuzzling his fur. "Goodnight 'Tsumu, 'Samu." Yoh breathe before drifting off.

         Piles of rubble lay out before you. Moving between them you clear the rubble. After a while the ground becomes soggy and wet. The rubble you move away revealing bodies, making you feel sick. Then the faceless bodies start to look all too familiar as the sun peers over a blood red horizon, revealing the piled up corpses of your dormmates all around you.

           "The Bloody Horizon is coming." Tendo's voice sounds behind you and you turn around as he smiles. "You can't win." He says, taking your right hand and bursting into a cloud of blood particles.

            "No!" You cry out, sitting up and clasping your hands together shakily as the foxes jump to their feet looking at you in alarm. You pant, looking between them before relaxing. Just a dream. You bring your knees to your chest, hiding your face against your knees. "Sorry." You sniff.

            "It's alright, just a nightmare." Osamu assures, rubbing your back softly.

            "Yeah.. It's okay now, everything's alright." Atsumu whispers. You nod but can't relax.

            "Can you pass me my phone please?" You manage.

            "Uh, sure, here."   He murmurs handing it to you. Taking it, you call Tendo, as you always do when there's a bad nightmare.

             'I knew I should've stayed there tonight.' Tendo says as he answers the phone. 'It was a bad one right?' He guesses lightly. You confirm lightly, leaning on one of the twins as you describe the dream quietly. For a moment after, Tendo is silent. 'Losing good things again.' He says, making you pause. 'This is a dream you get when you're happy. Remember? Its just changed a bit from last time. That fear is still there, haunting you.'

           "You're right. It is like the last one…" You breath, rubbing your eyes. "Just that fear again huh?..."

            'Sounds like it. But they're all still there. Nothing has happened. Just keep that in mind. If that doesn't help, go wake up Sakusa.' Tendo tells you. 'I'm glad you called. But you should go back to sleep if you can.' 

              "Okay, I'll try… Thanks Tendo. Sorry for waking you."

              'You didn't, I was waiting for this.' He assures. 'Goodnight ___.'

              "Goodnight." You yawn before hanging up.

               "Talk about nasty nightmares." Atsumu mutters.

               "You want me to get you a drink?" Osamu offers.

               "No. I'm okay now. I just need two more gloves." You tell him, reaching over Atsumu and grabbing the gloves from your drawer. "Sorry I woke you two up."

              "Its fine. If it were me I would have crawled into your bed." Atsumu shrugs.

               "You already do that." You and Osamu point out together.

               "Would you two stop talking in unison? I'm the twin here."

               "No."

*Meanwhile*

                "Your friend sure picks bad times to call." Semi comments.

                "___ had a nightmare. Bloody Horizon is really messing with their head." Tendo hums, dancing a bit. 

                "Why do you look so happy about that?" Shirabu frowns at him.

                "I haven't gotten a nightmare call in a long time. ___ still loves me!" Tendo gushes. "I should get more pictures of them soon!"

                "Oh, guess it's a doting best friend thing." Semi comments. "I kinda want to meet ___." 

                "Me too. As much as Tendo is always going on and on…" Reon agrees.

                "Can you blame me? ___ is the cutest! And all mine! Or… Was." He stops and tilts his head with a hum. 

                "Ushijima's back." Shirabu says, making them all look over as he approaches. "So, what did the headmaster say?"

                "We need more practice. Lets go to the courses."

                "Aw? But its midnight!" Tendo sighs.

                "You'll have tomorrow off." Ushijima responds.

                "You're really persuasive."
