All eyes slowly turn to Hawks, demanding answers.
Hawks chuckles nervously. "Uhhh... that's how I got in."
"Why are you with them in the first place?!" Endeavor yells, his flames rising with rage.
Hawks's hands unconsciously settle on his abdomen protectively, a gesture only Rei notices. "I can't answer that," Hawks replies solemnly.
"Now something more interesting but also more serious that took place already by the way." The Dimension Princess announces.
After visiting his sister Fuyumi at the Todoroki house, Natsuo Todoroki walks back to his college dorm late one evening. Along the way, he hears faint groans emanating from a dimly lit alleyway. Concerned, he investigates and discovers Shigaraki (Tenko Shimura), bloodied and struggling to stand.
Shigaraki, recognizing Natsuo as a Todoroki, initially protests vehemently. "I don't need your help, hero!" he snaps, his voice tinged with suspicion and bitterness from his tumultuous past. Natsuo, unfazed by Shigaraki's hostility, calmly insists, "I'm not here as a hero. I'm a doctor in training. Let me help you."
Despite Shigaraki's resistance, Natsuo proceeds to administer first aid with steady hands, focusing solely on alleviating Shigaraki's immediate injuries. As Natsuo works, Shigaraki's animosity begins to soften slightly, replaced by a reluctant acknowledgment of Natsuo's sincere intent to assist.
Once Shigaraki is stabilized enough to move, Natsuo offers his support to help him reach the League of Villains' hideout for further treatment. Shigaraki, still wary but realizing his vulnerability in this moment, grudgingly accepts Natsuo's offer, his skepticism mixed with a grudging respect for Natsuo's unwavering dedication to his medical duty.
Endeavor stares at Natsuo shocked, Fuyumi shrugs while Rei gives Natsuo a soft and supportive smile.
Dabi, on the other hand, starts smoking as his quirk heats up the room. He turns to glare at his boss. "If you even think about laying a hand on my little brother I will burn you!" He hisses threateningly. Shigaraki's face shows no emotion.
Natsuo's heart clenches as he's reminded of that first encounter with Shigaraki. He recalls the fear that gripped him initially, mixed with a fierce determination born of his medical training. He vividly remembers the conflict he felt, knowing Shigaraki's reputation as a villain yet compelled by his oath to help anyone in need. Despite the unease that still lingers about Shigaraki's past, Natsuo finds a sense of pride in staying true to his principles. There's a quiet satisfaction in knowing that he could make a positive impact, however small, even on someone considered an enemy.
Shigaraki reacts with a mix of surprise and disbelief as he's reminded of their first encounter. His initial skepticism and distrust of heroes resurface, causing him to shift uncomfortably. Despite his hardened exterior, he grapples with the fact that someone from a hero family like Natsuo helped him. His response oscillates between cold indifference and a begrudging respect for Natsuo's actions, reluctantly acknowledging the complexity of their interaction.
Natsuo and Shigaraki sit on opposite ends of a small couch in a dimly lit room cluttered with game consoles and controllers. The screen glows with the intensity of their competitive spirit as they play a multiplayer video game. Shigaraki's hands move deftly over the controller, executing precise maneuvers with practiced ease. Beside him, Natsuo concentrates intently, occasionally letting out a whoop of triumph or a groan of defeat. Despite their initial wariness, the atmosphere is surprisingly relaxed and filled with laughter as they bond over their shared love for gaming.
The scene shifts to a quieter setting, a makeshift study area with books strewn across a table. Shigaraki sits with a pile of textbooks in front of him, occasionally scratching his head in frustration. Natsuo leans over a textbook, explaining medical terminologies and concepts with patience and clarity. Shigaraki listens intently, absorbing the information despite his initial reluctance. He asks questions, sometimes challenging but always curious, while Natsuo answers with a mixture of enthusiasm and understanding. Slowly, a camaraderie builds between them, forged through late-night study sessions and shared goals.
Rei smiles at the screen, glad her son found someone special. When she hears a faint angry hiss, she turns to her husband next to her and gives him a stern glare, reminding him not to complain.
Natsuo's siblings, meanwhile, don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, they are glad to see Natsuo happy; on the other hand, he is happy while being with a villain — or in Dabi's terms, his boss.
It's a sunny afternoon, and Fuyumi Todoroki is overseeing a group of enthusiastic first-grade students on a field trip to a local park. The children chatter excitedly as they explore the playground and observe the vibrant colors of blooming flowers.
Suddenly, chaos erupts as a group of rogue villains, emboldened by a recent prison break, descends upon the park. Fear grips the children and their teachers as chaos ensues. Fuyumi, quick to protect her students, ushers them to safety while trying to keep calm herself.
Just as the situation seems dire, a blur of teal and white streaks across the park. Mirko, the Rabbit Hero, lands with a powerful kick that sends villains sprawling. Her presence is a whirlwind of action and confidence as she swiftly neutralizes the threat, her every move calculated and precise.
With the villains subdued, Mirko turns to ensure the safety of the children and teachers. Her gaze falls upon Fuyumi, who stands composed despite the chaos. Impressed by her resilience and quick thinking under pressure, Mirko strides over to Fuyumi with a confident grin.
"Well, well, aren't you a force to be reckoned with?" Mirko says boldly, her voice carrying admiration. "You've got nerves of steel, handling that like a pro."
Fuyumi, caught off guard by Mirko's direct approach, blushes slightly but meets the hero's gaze with a hint of curiosity. "Thank you," she replies sincerely, her voice tinged with relief.
Mirko chuckles, her eyes sparkling mischievously. "Say, how about we grab a coffee sometime? I'd love to hear more about the woman who keeps cool under fire."
Fuyumi hesitates for a moment, surprised yet intrigued by Mirko's forwardness. She smiles softly and nods. "I think I'd like that," she says, a faint blush lingering on her cheeks.
As they exchange contact information amidst the fading sounds of sirens and cheers from the grateful children, a playful banter ensues—a testament to the unexpected bond formed amidst chaos and heroism.
Fuyumi Todoroki feels a flutter in her chest as memories of that day flood back. She watches the scene unfold on the screen, transported to the park where chaos reigned, and her first-grade students looked to her for safety.
Mirko's arrival is like a bolt of lightning, fierce and commanding. Fuyumi recalls the rush of relief that swept over her as Mirko effortlessly dispatched the villains, her confidence and boldness a beacon of hope in danger.
As the playback captures Mirko's bold flirting and the warmth in her teal eyes, Fuyumi can't suppress the fond smile that tugs at her lips. She remembers how Mirko's directness and courage had both startled and intrigued her, their banter and the invitation for coffee lingering in her thoughts long after that day.
Watching their first encounter replay, Fuyumi feels a surge of admiration for Mirko's unwavering heroism and her ability to find humor even in perilous situations. Amidst the chaos and heroics of that day, Fuyumi had found herself captivated by Mirko's strength and charisma, a spark of attraction igniting between them that she hadn't fully understood until now.
The memory brings a warm glow to her cheeks as she realizes how much that encounter had left an impression on her heart.
Mirko smirks as she watches the footage, teal eyes gleaming with nostalgia and amusement. The scene takes her back to a sunny morning in the park, where chaos erupted unexpectedly.
Seeing herself swoop in to rescue Fuyumi Todoroki and her first-grade students fills Mirko with pride at her swift actions. The adrenaline rush and Fuyumi's relief still resonate vividly.
As the playback captures her shameless flirting with Fuyumi, Mirko's smirk widens into a grin. She recalls their banter and the spontaneous coffee invitation, a decision that felt right in the heat of the moment.
Reflecting on their first encounter, Mirko feels camaraderie and fondness for Fuyumi. She admires Fuyumi's composure and warmth amidst chaos, qualities that drew Mirko in.
Watching herself extend the invitation, Mirko feels a twinge of excitement. Their bond, born from bravery and humor, has grown into something cherished.
In Mirko's heart, their first encounter remains a vibrant memory of connection and beginnings.
Rei smiled once again; her heart warmed by the sight of her daughter finding someone special.
Meanwhile, the Todoroki brothers and Endeavor fixed intense gazes on the Rabbit Hero.
"If you even think about hurting our sister," Dabi began, his voice low and threatening.
"You'll regret it," Natsuo interjected firmly.
Shoto nodded sternly in agreement.
Endeavor huffed angrily, smoke billowing from his nostrils like a dragon.
Mirko simply laughed, her laughter echoing confidently through the room as she crossed her arms over her chest.
"Like I'd ever let anything happen to my snow princess!" she declared proudly, affectionately using her girlfriend's nickname. Fuyumi blushed brightly beside her, touched by Mirko's protective declaration.
