Chapter 60

Morning came around; Eva woke up on her side; being spooned by a sound-asleep Toya. She had her head on Shigaraki's chest, her hand resting in the middle of his torso.

"Can you think of a punishment worse than death?" asked Shigaraki before Eva could move. "Well, what would be worse?"

"To me...being human," answered Eva; he looked at her. Eva wiggled out of Toya's grip a bit, then turned putting her body on Shigaraki a bit. Their chests touching and their faces very close to each other. "I know I tried to blend in during the past, while I lived among them, but humanity truly seems to suck. Even before Quirks, humans have always been so power hungry; now with Quirks it was like giving them a rope."

He studied her. "Do you know how Quirks came about?"

Eva shook her head. "That's a phenomenon that we can't even figure out how it happened...I hope in another universe we are friends."

"What?" asked Shigaraki thrown off, Eva moved her head closer; their eyes connected; noses almost touching.

"I know I shouldn't, but I like you, my darkness," answered Eva putting a hand on her face. He searched her eyes heavily. "Maybe in another universe, we have better luck." In this universe, Eva wanted Shoto by her side, and Katsuki, too. She'd have Toya and Shigaraki too, but she didn't want to be greedy or make it weird. Lately, during her kiss session with Shoto, Eva has been wanting Katuki to join, she's been wanting to kiss him. But they are best friends, she didn't want to truin naything. Shigaraki then looked at Toya. He had just shifted a bit, his head now laid on Eva's back, wrapped his arms around her tighter. "If he was a little less clingy, then perhaps."

Shigaraki shook his head. "You should be more relaxed; he isn't allowed to kill you." Eva seemed unsure of what to say; her cheeks grew red. "Cat got your tongue?"

"The male body tends to receive about 3-5 uh...during the night each lasting 20-30 minutes," explained Eva; she lifted the blanket and glanced back. They had screwed the day before when Shigaraki had stepped out during his full day of being in charge. "It's been getting easier to sleep through." Eva felt like her and Toya couldn't get enough of each other, more than a honeymoon phase.

Shigaraki made a face. "What are you talking about?"

Eva grew even redder, she sighed looking at Toya. "I'm talking about erections." Shigaraki smiled holding in a laugh. "Only reason I'm awake right now." He started laughing, she looked at him. "It's not funny." Shigaraki shook his head before kissing her; she kissed back. Eva put both hands on his face while deepening the kiss. Shigaraki started to smile, this made Eva deepen the kiss even more. Eva pulled back, moving down a bit, putting her head back on his chest. Shigaraki freed his arm, then put it around Eva. After making sure, he had a glove on his hand, he put it on the back of Eva's head, and he started to play with her hair a bit. They remained like that till they fell asleep.

*****

After that one body washing session, every other day Shigaraki came and sat with Eva in the tub in the morning, where they would wash each other's bodies. One of the times, Eva was scrubbing his chest, then Shigaraki kissed her forehead, Eva closed her eyes taking it.

"I wish you joined the league back in the summer," said Shigaraki pulling back.

"It was fate for us to cross paths like this till now," said Eva. "This is where our destinies have currently led us to." Shigaraki reached up touching her chin.

"I just wish I could have more time with you, my love," said Shigaraki moving his hands down to her waist, pulling her on his lap. "More time to love you." They both blushed at those words.

"We have barely known each other for less than a month, how can you know it is love?" asked Eva putting the cloth and other hand on his chest and shoulder area.

Shigaraki gave a sad smile. "Villains fall faster than you think, especially when they are loved in the way you do." Eva blushed more. "Why are you loving me?"

"Because you are allowing me," answered Eva, he kissed her forehead again, before moving down to her lips, Eva happily kissed back before pulling back. "When you speak of love, you will fight back against All For One?" She put her finger to his forehead.

"I am figuring something out," assured Shigaraki cupping her face.

"Good," said Eva putting her hand on top of his. "I do not want a Jekyll and Hyde situation, I want to be selfish by having all of you and only you in there." Shigaraki's eyes widened. "I want Toya too, Spinner as well when he finally decides to join."

"By doing this, are you a hero protecting villains?" asked Shigaraki.

"I am protecting the contents of my heart," answered Eva. He stared at her for a few seconds before closing his eyes and putting his forehead to hers, letting their noses touch. Shigaraki pulled back.

"If I asked you to join, would you do it?" asked Shigaraki.

Eva shook her head. "I am not a killer." Shigaraki made a face. "Plus, it can reflect poorly on the treatment of my people." Shigaraki pulled her into a firm hug, she slipped her arms around him, resting her head on him.

****

Eva was now strapped standing in a starfish position; her hands cuffed away from her; and feet flat on the ground. She had some clothing covering her chest. Shigaraki was down the hall groaning and screaming in pain.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" asked Spinner; they were taking the bondage off one wing at a time.

"She's a smart girl, she won't do anything stupid," said All For One as the bondage came off, they watched fairy dust fall to the floor. He strapped on a glove; then reached over.

"I want Spinner to do it," said Eva suddenly.

Spinner got close, cupping a hand over her ear. "Why do you want me to do it?"

'I don't want some creepy old blind guy touching my wings,' answered Eva.

"Very well," agreed All For One; he grabbed a tool off the table and went over to her fingers; as Spinner peeled off the shedding skin on her wings, All For One began to rip off her nails, one by one. Eva watched as her blood dripped to the ground; two puddles slowly growing larger. Every time Eva managed to grow any sort of nail back, All For One was sure to rip it out. In all honesty, Eva was in a lot of pain every day, some days were worse than others. Spinner tapped her back.

'Hm?'

'You were there that day, right?' asked Spinner. 'Hosu.'

'You talking about Stain?' asked Eva.

'What was he like in person?' asked Spinner as he started to move onto another wing.

'He froze everyone with fear that day,' recalled Eva. 'Hella strong.'

'What you think of him?' asked Spinner.

'Definitely made me question my own motives in life,' admitted Eva. 'Would I be a true hero if I just focused on human-fae affairs?'

'What do you want to gain from being a hero?' explained Spinner. 'Fame? Fortune? Money? Love?'

'Safety for my people in the human world,' answered Eva, Spinner stopped what he was doing for a second. 'Humans and my kind used to live in harmony and coexisted on earth, but now with quirks, my people are hell-bent on only coming here when they have to.'

Spinner continued with his work. 'So, you don't want money from it?'

'No, I have a strong dislike toward human money,' said Eva.

'So no money?' asked Spinner

'I don't even have a bank account,' responded Eva. 'Though I don't deny my liking toward shiny things.'

'Shiny things?' repeated Spinner.

'Yeah, such as old buttons, charms, paperclips...stones,' listed Eva. 'I love pretty stones.' There was silence. 'Wanna hear more about Stain?'

After the session, everything got packed up; and everyone left. Eva sat on the operation table staring down at her hands, she looked at the spot her finger used to be. She looked at the doorway due to the sound of Shigaraki's hand hitting it, he was battered as usual. Eva made her way over, and Shigaraki fell over into her arms. Eva dragged Shigaraki all the way back to the operation table. She sat on the table, as Shigaraki laid on it with his head in her lap. She rubbed his temples while humming softly till he was ready to talk, it normally took a couple of minutes. He sat up and turned till he fully faced her.

"Are you being truthful about not being able to transfer your powers to me?" asked Shigaraki leaning toward her.

"Yes," answered Eva leaning back. "You've seen what's happened to the others, did not end well." Shigaraki scooted closer to her, till their legs touched. "It is as I told you before it is something it is taught, and you'll just have to kill me because it is not going to happen." Eva tilted her head. "It seems you don't have much use for me anymore."

"I call the shots," Shigaraki reminded her putting a thumb on her lips. "You are rare for the heroes and the villains; I would be a fool to get rid of you." He moved his face closer. "You are my love, you are not going anywhere." He kissed her on the lips, she kissed back. Eva pulled back; Shigaraki pulled her right back in for another kiss.

The day continued, it was now after the second round of dissection, Spinner walked past the Eva section of the cave. He walked back to it when he didn't see her; he looked up to see the horseshoes still there.

'She can't escape,' Spinner thought to himself walking into the room; he was in relief to see that Eva was lying down in the tub. He saw that she had curled up and heard crying. "Yuki?"

"Go away," Eva pleaded softly in between her crying. Spinner walked over to the tub; he leaned over to see that Eva's middle wings were gone, and her gown was soaked in her blood.

"Oh," breathed Spinner; he sat her up before getting in the tub to sit next to her. "So you are down two wings."

"It's happened before," sniffed Eva wiping her eyes. "But I don't think they'll grow back this time." Spinner looked at her. "I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to apologize for," said Spinner looking forward. "I'll stay here until one of those two shows up, and keep you company." He looked at her. "You never answered my question; what do you think of me?" Eva rubbed her eyes, wiping the tears away.

"You remind me of my homeland," answered Eva. Spinner gasped lightly. She looked at him, putting a hand on his face. "You are so beautiful, Spinner." His eyes went wide, nobody had said that to him before. "Please do not let anyone make you think differently."

"So, when you look at me," began Spinner.

"I think of baby geckos," answered Eva with a smile. "They tend to struggle with the first couple of times they shed, and I get to help. There's camouflage training, then there is lying on a rock with them, enjoying the sun together."

"I hate to agree with Shigaraki," said Spinner with a smile. "You are a lot different than other heroes."

"I try to go by my homeland's path with heroes," answered Eva. "A true hero is measured by the strength of their heart, not the size of their strength."

"Who told you that?" asked Spinner.

"My elders and past heroes," answered Eva.

"How long ago?" asked Spinner out of curiosity.

"About 400," answered Eva.

Spinner just nodded. "Do you like video games?"

"I am more of Just Dance type of video game person," admitted Eva. "I like the constant movement, plus we do a lot of dancing back home." Spinner raised his eyebrows. "I can beat you in all of the dances, but games like Mortal Kombat or League of Legends I would lose."

"Won't know you don't try," said Spinner. "We can probably steal a game from a store nearby." Eva waved her hands no and Spinner frowned. "Too cool for it?"

"I don't have a ring," answered Eva. "Without it, I'll just make the device go haywire and spark out of commission." Spinner closed his eyes letting out a laugh. "Would you like to hear stories from eons ago?"

"Sure," Spinner nodded, he stayed and listened to Eva's story about a villain from the year 830. Soon Toya showed up.

"Why were you crying?" asked Toya cuffing her face with her hands; Spinner stood up, whispering the answers in Toya's ear. "Go to that store for new books for her." Spinner nodded leaving the room. As soon as Spinner left the room; Eva got out of the hospital gown; she and Toya sat in the tub. Toya seemed unsure of what to do at first; he had never seen her this upset. So Toya just held her tight, taking in the scent of her hair, no matter what it always smelled like flowers. If he could; he would marinate in the smell.

"You wanna see something cool, firelight?" asked Eva finally breaking the silence.

"Sure, Love Bug" agreed Toya. He watched her put her hand outside the tub, he watched it glow many colors. With a wave of Eva's hands; the leaves lifted off the ground; Toya watched the leaves dance around each other and the tub. Eva looked up to see Toya just looking at her; Eva closed her hand and the leaves dropped.

"You are a fascinating one, Eva," said Toya, he kissed her forehead. "Show me another thing."

"Sure," Eva smiled lightly as she looked at her hands. "My mom taught me this." She clapped her hands together, then pulled them apart revealing a rainbow; the rainbow spun rapidly. Eva spread her hands, the colors filled that section of the cave, just like what she had shown Izuku a while back; Eva snuggled into Toya more, and he tightened his grip, putting his chin on the top of her head. Spinner who was walking down the hall; peaked inside; he was amazed at what he was seeing. Spinner looked back in the direction of All For One.

'He wants the power she has,' Spinner thought to himself. 'I think this will be something he won't achieve'. He then continued walking. 'And I pray he doesn't.'

Toya looked down at Eva, to see her looking at him, he gently kissed earning a smile from her.

Afterward, Toya was getting the fire together, he looked back to see Eva trying on his long black jacket with the towel still around her.

"Too big on you," said Toya seeing the end of his coat touch the floor, the sleeves hung low. He watched her spin around in it, while looking at the mirror. "Eva." She looked at him. "You look cute."

"Thanks," blushed Eva looking back at the mirror. Couple minutes later around the fire; Eva lay on her back with her legs arched up. She was still wearing Toya's jacket, it kept her warm. Toya was lying on top of her, between her legs. His face was very close to hers. Eva held her breath; and huffed; two flowers sprouted out of her ears; causing Toya to laugh more than he had before.

"My turn," said Toya sitting up. He raised his arms into a power pose. "POWER!" Blue flames shot out from his armpits causing Eva to laugh more; Toya was surprised and fascinated to see flowers popping all over the place from her laughing. "Your turn."

"Okay, okay," answered Eva sitting up; Toya sat back on his legs; she put a Nomu tooth in her hand making a loosely closed fist; she put it up to her nose. Eva squeezed a finger and thumb into the fist and then pulled out a coin; Toya rocked back onto his butt laughing. Toya used two fingers to open a section of his mouth; Eva inserted the coin. "Ca-ching!" The two were laughing even more. Toya's eyes started to leak blood; Eva reached up wiping the blood away; he kissed her right after that. Eva knew what Toya was doing, he was trying to distract her from her wings, and she appreciated it. Toya broke the kiss and then pressed his lips into her forehead, Eva laid back; there foreheads touching, eyes connecting. Toya then laid down putting his head on her chest, Eva arched her legs, wrapping her arms around him.

"You should not be loving villains like me and Shigaraki so easily," said Toya.

"But you both are so easy to love," said Eva, he lifted his head looking at her. "I have no regrets doing so."

"You're not looking at me," said Toya.

"I don't need to look at you when our hearts are touching," said Eva looking at him. "I can close my eyes and focus on the beat of your heart and feel as if I am seeing you." She kissed his forehead, and Toya smiled putting his head back down, focusing on the beat of her heart. Eva then continued to kiss the top of his head a few more times wrapping her arms around him tighter.

***

In the middle of the night, Eva woke up to something outside the cave. Toya was lying on top of her, fast asleep, snoring, and drooling as usual. She looked to the left to see that Shigaraki had pressed himself against her. With a slight touch; Shigaraki was awake.

"What do you want?" asked Shigaraki.

"It's about your new recruit," said Eva.

Shigaraki opened his eyes. "New recruit?"

"Who else would know who's in this cave?" answered Eva. "I'd figure it's one of your guys."

Shigaraki got up and quickly pulled on his pants. All of them had given up on clothes at night, the skin-to-skin had made it more intimate and easier to sleep. They would sit around in a towel during the fire and then disregard them for the blankets. Toya and Shigaraki both had a thing for playing with her chest, or just holding. She didn't mind, during the playing, she was able to get some reading in. They let her touch their packages in a similar sense.

As Shigaraki was walking away, Eva grabbed his wrist and pulled him back. "Do you want me to check it out or not?" Shigaraki looked back at her, she gestured with her finger for Shigaraki to come closer to her. "What?"

"Closer," said Eva putting a hand on his face, she pulled him closer to her and then planted a kiss on his lips.

"It'll be a few seconds, my love," said Shigaraki pulling away with a smile. He gave her another kiss before leaving the room. He walked down toward the cave's main entrance when he saw a man approaching. The man had a bow and arrow in his hands; a device on his waist was beeping rapidly; and made wiring sounds. "You must have a death wish for coming here so late at night."

"Far from it," the man said glancing down at the device; not really acknowledging Shigaraki. "You're the idiot for residing here when something so deadly lurks. Beautiful, but deadly." The sound on the device became increased.

"Say, what exactly are you hunting?" asked Shigaraki as the man walked past.

"You'll think I'm crazy," said the man. "Best you stand outside and not get mixed up in the crossfire."

"What are you hunting?" repeated Shigaraki.

"Fairies," the man answered coming to a stop; he looked back. "Those creatures are monsters, pure evil." Shigaraki bit his tongue, for the short time he had gotten to know Eva, she was anything but evil or a monster. She was kind, way too kind for her own good especially, with her past. Eva's kindness made people feel welcomed rather than rejected, that's how Shigaraki felt about her. "Are you in here by choice or taken prisoner?" Shigaraki looked back as the man readied his weapon. "Not to worry son, I'm a good shot; one shot and you'll have your freedom back." The man took out half of a lemon; he started to coat the silver blade.

"Hey, mister," said Shigaraki turning around fully.

"So what do you want after this? " the man asked. "Cheeseburgers? You name it."

"I want to keep my love alive," said Shigaraki; he placed a hand on the hunter; decaying him and his weapons in an instant. He made his way back to the cavern, slipping his gloves back on, he saw that Toya had shifted half-spooning Eva, she was still awake.

"So?" asked Eva as Shigaraki approached the bed. "Who was it?"

"Nobody to concern yourself with," answered Shigaraki as he dropped his pants, Eva searched his eyes. "Go back to sleep." Eva placed her hand on his face, gently caressing it. Shigaraki took her hand, putting it up to his mouth, then leaned down kissing her. He laid down, half-spooning her from the other side. Eva pushed him off of her as well as Toya, this caused the sleeping man to stir. Eva then put her back to Shigaraki, he caught on to what she wanted and spooned her, Eva used one hand to grab Shigaraki's hand, and her other to grab one of Toya's hands, he had readjusted up against her, putting his head against hers, she was quick to fall asleep.

****

Morning came around, Eva woke up to Toya patting his body rapidly; he was breathing heavily. Must have been another fire of reliving that night of catching on fire. He had a couple of dreams like that throughout the time Eva was in the cave. She glanced back to see that Shigaraki was still asleep. Eva kissed him between his eyebrows then turned Shigaraki onto his back gently so she could turn onto hers, she then gently put her hand on Toya's back; as usual, he looked back at her, and once he got his bearings he collapsed onto her. Eva kissed the top of his head, then wrapped her arms around him; rubbing his back in circles.

"Eva, Love Bug" said Toya after a few minutes. "I was thinking about somewhere in the mountains secluded from the rest of this damned society, like we talked about ."

"It sounds like a beautiful spot," answered Eva. "Would I be allowed to go to the Otherworld as much as I want to?"

"You sure do love your family," acknowledged Toya.

"They are everything to me," said Eva. "I'd kill for them, though that is not a very heroic thing to do." Toya smiled a bit.

"If we had kids together would you kill for them?" asked Toya.

"Absolutely," said Eva.

"What would you do if our children were born with an amazing power?" asked Toya.

"Work with them on it," answered Eva.

"What tactics?" asked Toya sitting up; lifting the blanket off of her.

Eva lifted herself on her elbows. "Toya, my oldest living relative was born in the 600s, superpowers are nothing new to my people." Toya adjusted himself till he was looking down at her. "Your power is energy and life not just destruction."

"I think it's too late for me to turn from destruction," said Toya. "Just look at me." He looked down at his arm; turning it. "Disgusting." Eva's eyes started at the highest spike on his head; then traveled down to his bare torso, back up to the head. Eva always found Toya to be extremely beautiful. Then again she would walk through the forests back home with headless horsemen and she found them beautiful as well. Toya looked at her; his eyes started at the top of her, traveling down to her bare chest, to the piercings and tattoos. Toya could see the numerous hickeys he'd left along her chest. Toya thought of a recent time when they were doing the spread eagle. Toya always made the first move, he would kiss Eva's neck and wait for her answer. If she said no, he would scoot away from her, if she said yes then it continued. He liked it when she took dominance, and when she looked into his eyes while they did it. They would go for 2-3 rounds. "I do not go around looking like a goddess like you do every day." Eva blushed at his comment.

"You should not talk so lowly about yourself," said Eva putting her hands on his face. "I like the way you look."

"You are probably the only weirdo to do so," said Toya leaning down a bit as her hands traveled down to his chest.

"I highly doubt that," said Eva; he leaned a bit closer; Eva then pressed her lips to his; Toya happily kissed back. Toya pushed her back while deepening the kiss, then pulled back. "Another please." Toya planted many kisses around her face; before kissing her on the lips again. He then kissed her neck, he pulled back with shiny eyes of hope; she looked at Shigaraki who still asleep, she looked back at Toya's eyes searching him heavily. "What if he wakes?"

"We will just have to be quiet," said Toya taking her hands. "Quick too."

Eva looked at Shigaraki again; he was either a heavy sleeper or restless depending on the night, she then looked back at Toya, she put her hands on his face, pulled him close for a kiss; he melted into it. Without breaking the kiss, they positioned themselves; and Toya was sliding his member in, about twenty minutes later; they both laid on their backs, quietly panting. They both looked at each other; simultaneously turning on their sides while sharing a kiss. Shigaraki turned over; his arm going over Eva; hand landing on her stomach; both surprised he was still asleep.

Toya touched Eva's face. "I love you," Eva's eyes widened a bit, whatever they had going between them was moving fast, perhaps too fast for them to realize.

"I love you, too."

Later that morning, during milk and honey, Eva was leaning against the way by the door, sipping away the milk. Shigaraki, Toya, Spinner, and Skeptic all sat in the room nibbling on their food or drink. No matter how many times Eva leaned against it, they were amazed by an invisible magical wall that only affected her. Won't be for much longer, Skeptic was looking up places to transfer Eva to, somewhere in the mountains and with enough space for a griffin sanctuary.

"I'm curious, Yuki" began Spinner; they looked over at him. "If money isn't that big of a deal to your people; then what is?"

"Nature of course," answered Eva. "The Circle of Life, Love and Respect."

"Circle of life," laughed Toya. "What bullshit."

"It's true!" chimed Eva looking at him. "I mean after, when all you die, if you are buried your bodies become food for worms and bugs are food for another, and if cremated your ashes. When I die I will fade and my energy will be returned to the earth, where it be blown around like wind."

"The things you listed are not things you can hold," said Skeptic.

"Love is," said Eva looking at him.

"Is there anything tangible that is deemed valuable?" asked Spinner.

Eva pulled away from her cup. "Well...one of the most valuable things is something we don't have."

"Something you don't have, "repeated Skeptic. "Something you don't have."

Spinner crossed his arms. "Souls." Eva nodded. "Souls are truly so valuable?"

"A human soul is power, containing the light of at least 100 stars," explained Eva. "There 6 different types of souls: human, demons, monsters, Nephilim, ghosts, and the exception of angels if they lose their grace and get sent to earth."

"Are they called monsters due to society?" asked Spinner.

"Possibly," shrugged Eva. "Then again, so am I." Spinner became stumped with her response. "There are these things called Wraiths." They all glanced at each other. "They are these creatures that disguise themselves as human; one touch can drive you to insanity; they have these spikers that pop out of their wrists. They'll stick it in a weak spot behind a person's ear."

"Why there?" asked Spinner.

"To get to the brain," answered Eva; she mimicked the motions. "With that, they suck out all the brain juices until completely dry." All their mouths dropped open and Eva went back to her milk as the others processed the information.

"Why do they do that?" asked Spinner

"They are hungry," answered Eva. "They would get along with Toga if they decide to not view her as a food source." They all became alarmed. "I'm strictly vegetarian."

Toya titled his head. "Do you like soba?"

Eva nodded. "Soba is very spiritual food, monks would eats the noodles before going on a 10 day fast."

"So, do you think Toga is strange?" asked Spinner going back a few subjects. "With her thing with blood?"

"Not at all," answered Eva. "I think she is fun to be around."

"Would you give her your blood?" asked Shigaraki.

Eva shook her head. "If it can hurt Stain, then it'll hurt her. I'd rather not risk killing her."

***

After the 1st dissection segment of the day, Eva was shown printed places in the mountains, forests, other spots.

"They all have so many bedrooms," said Eva picking up a paper.

"Well," began Toya as they both looked over her shoulder. "One bedroom for the three of us, one for the other league members." Eva looked at Shigaraki and he nodded in agreement. Eva put the paper down and scanned the options.

"So, which one?" asked Shigaraki.

"You should be picking it out, not your captive," said Eva.

"Just pick," said Shigaraki, she studied the options more then picked up a paper. The house itself sat near a lake with a waterfall. It was a giant cottage with a few towers attached to it. The first floor had an entrance room that had a set of stairs on the right side, an office, a half bathroom, and a living room in the middle. Upstairs was a hallway had three bedrooms, and a full bathroom. A hallway on the left side of the living room had three bedrooms, the hallway on the right side had a kitchen with a walk in panty, and dining room. At the back of the house, there were six bedrooms, a recreation room, laundry, full and half bathroom with a set of stairs on the left side of the wall.

The second floor at the front of the house had three bedrooms and a full bathroom, to the left side was large space, basically another living room, it had a tower attached to it, that led up towhat could be another office or whatever they make of it. On the right side along the wall and otwrd the back of the second floor was five more bedrooms, one of the bedrooms had a full bath and a tower attached to it. Beyond that was a wide open space where Eva would definitely have room for a nice garden and a Griffin Sanctuary. The backyard also met with the lake, the waterfall was not too far from it based on the description.

"This one," said Eva. "I like a lot of the natural features it has."

"Toya and I also agreed on this one," said Shigaraki. "We can make a copy of this for each of us."

Toya pointed to the tower in the second half with the bathroom attached to it. "This can be our bedroom." His finger went to a bedroom at the front of the house that had a tower. "Or this one." He pointed to the back door. "We can install a small court yard/patio here."

Shigaraki pointed to a few different spots. "These are little nooks, where we can fill the shelves with books, make it a comfy spot."

"It does seem costly though," said Eva. "I don't know much about money, but--"

"The liberation group we linked up with is very rich, we will use that money," said Shigaraki.

"With the horseshoes, can you put them just after the waterfall?" asked Eva. "I want access to it."

"Yeah, that's fine," Shigaraki quickly agreed.

"It's connected to this village, so we can get food and stuff from it," said Toya. "It's in between Tokyo and Musutafu, not far drives for either."

"Whatever you want with this house, we will get it," said Shigaraki. "We will spoil you."

"Eventually, lets open a multi purpose building in the village," said Eva looking at the two of them they gave her strange look. "I am a crafty person, I know how to weave all sort of things, make candles, make blankets...humans go crazy for self-made things rather than manufactured. And there can be a language corner for the incomers needing help Japanese, or those leaving the country needing help with knowing whatever language."

"You want to help people?" asked Shigaraki crossing his arms. "With villains and still wanting to help people like a hero."

Eva smiled holding up a finger. "Think of it as destroying societal language barriers." Shigaraki and Toya looked at each other and smiled, looking back at Eva. All three of them kissed at the same time.

After the 2nd dissection segment of the day, Eva was pulling open the drawers, curious about the contents. It was mainly just tools, and charts for the most part. She pulled out two round containers, she unscrewed both to see a white creamy substance, she raised it to her nose and gave it a sniff. One of them was a face moisturizer and lotion.

"What are you doing?"

Eva looked back to see Shigaraki leaning against the doorway.

"Has lotion been here the entire time?" asked Eva holding up the container. "It would been nice to know, my skin has been so dry." She then focused on him. "Speaking of dry skin."

"My skin is fine," said Shigaraki crossing his arms. Two minutes later, Shigaraki was lying flat on the table, Eva had pulled his hair back again. Eva had straddled him, applying the face cream in a pattern.

"You don't speak of your family much," said Shigaraki, Eva glanced at his eyes. "And I've told you about mine."

"My family," Eva repeated rubbing in the ointment. "I got dad, mom, who I've told you about, and my three older brothers."

"Do you get along with your father?" asked Shigaraki.

"Yeah," answered Eva. "He is indifferent to heroes and villains; he is fascinated with quirks due to differences in how we operate. He doesn't like heroes all too much due to the past, he feels the same with villains."

"Did he get mad at you for wanting to become a hero?" asked Shigaraki.

"Not at all," denied Eva. "He finds humans interesting, so me doing this meant more insight into humankind for him."

"What has he said to you?" asked Shigaraki.

"If I lose you then I lose your mother all over," recalled Eva. "Do not turn your back on mankind just yet, you will miss out on life that way." Eva found that was right, he would have never got to meet Katsuki or Izuku.

"What of your brothers?" asked Shigaraki, he thought of the last thing. It was not humans Eva hated back then, it was all of mankind, she worked through that hate clearly.

"My brothers were annoyed coming to the human world and joining heroe society; just protective older brother reasons."

"How protective are they?" asked Shigaraki.

"Kozu has killed people," admitted Eva, Shigaraki's eyes went wide. "Dios and Gino have not."

"Am I stronger than them?"

"No," laughed Eva looking at him, Shigaraki raised his eyebrows. "I am not being biased either with my answer." She looked back at what she was doing. "They can be...scary...dad too...really fit the lines of why human parents tell their kids to not go in the forest at night alone." Eva started to rub behind his ears. "Once watched my oldest brother appear out of the shadows and rip a guy's heart out with his bare hands." Eva looked at Shigaraki, his eyes were wide. "It only happened after I had to call for him, I was too weak to save myself at the time."

"From previous abductions," gathered Shigaraki. "How old---"

"10," answered Eva. "Making Kozu 17 at the time." Eva frowned. "I'm a terrible daughter and sister for making them worry all the time."

"That's not true," said Shigaraki, Eva looked at him in surprise. "Tell me more about your mother. What was she like?"

"Beautiful," answered Eva with a small smile. "I miss her every day. Her name was Eumelia, which means melody. She told humans Lia, only a few know her full name."

"Eumelia," repeated Shigaraki.

"She didn't necessarily like heroes but she didn't hate them," said Eva. "She along with the majority of my people believed for the most part that we have no business getting involved in human affairs."

"What did she think of All Might, if she had an opinion?" asked Shigaraki.

Eva looked up. "I'm not really supposed to repeat, not appropriate."

"So, she did not like him," gathered Shigaraki with hope.

Eva laughed looking at him. "In her words according to my aunt...With an ass like that no wonder he is number one, with all that cake." Shigaraki made a face; then started to fight back a smile; before letting out a few laughs with his eyes closed. Eva stared when Shigaraki dropped the smile looking at her, she gave him a kiss; making home smile again.

"Do they support you?" asked Shigaraki when she pulled back. "Your hero dream?"

"Yes," answered Eva. "A law happened back when I was 10, which allowed fairies to become heroes. Of course, many thought it was a trap and didn't bother with it." Shigaraki studied her a bit. "My villages leaders said; Little Eva if you want to be a hero just go save people from like demons trapped in their bodies, or something supernatural, the hero society has too many boring rules." Shigaraki smiled again. "After that law, I was talked into becoming my best friend, stating what I could do with it."

"So, has anything changed from then?" asked Shigaraki.

Eva looked at him with a genuine smile. "Ever since I was seen on streets with Sir Nighteye, there has been a major decline in the abductions and attacks on my people as well as sacred ground. I'm not sure if it's out of respect or fear I'll end up cursing them." Shigaraki started laughing as Eva grabbed the lotion. She swiped some out and rubbed it between her hands before putting them on Shigaraki's chest.

"What would have you done if you weren't able to become a hero?" asked Shigaraki.

"Spend a lot more time with my people and family," answered Eva.

"You wouldn't protect anyone?" asked Shigarki.

"I am a spirit of nature," said Eva. "From the time I was born, it has been my duty to protect it, waterfalls, whole forest, a single plant, animals. Ensure the seasons happened."

"That explains why I feel like I'm holding the world when I hold you," said Shigaraki.

Eva tilted her head. "I am one of millions of spirits of nature."

Shigaraki smiled. "You are missing the point." Eva tilted her head the other way, Shigaraki felt his heart swell from her cuteness, he gestured her to come closer, resulting in a gentle kiss. Eva smiled pulling back.

"Out of curiosity, how many family members do you have?" asked Shigaraki, Eva stopped what she was doing, stared at him for a bit, and tilted her head. "Well..."

"Alive...about 450 that I know," answered Eva as she swiped out more lotion. She began to rub it onto Shigarakis' abdomen and to the pants line.

"Huh?" asked Shigaraki sitting up abruptly. "4--"

"I mean before the Meslipus Massacre and that Yakuza group...it was more like 700," answered Eva.

"And you know all their names?" asked Shigaraki.

"Of course," nodded Eva. "Mind you, fae do live for a long time and will tend to have multiple partners and many children. I was supposed to be the fourth oldest out of 11, but---." Eva looked away, she does view Izuku as a sibling. Even though they have completely different parents, she had four siblings.

"Did your dad ever move on?" asked Shigaraki.

"No," denied Eva. "Till this day, he can only see himself in love with my mom, he was very devoted to her, still is."

"I will do the same with you," said Shigaraki, this caused Eva to blush majorly. "Would you be able to move on from me or Toya."

"No," Eva denied with a smile.

"Any halflings?" asked Shigaraki out of pure curiosity.

"Not in a long time from what I know," answered Eva. "Though depending on how things go, the first halflings in a long time will be coming from me."

"So, if we're to have halflings, what would you do then?" asked Shigaraki. Eva looked back at him. "What kind of path would you guide them down?"

"Well, I would definitely insist they choose a path of good," answered Eva going back to what she was doing. "For the most part, I can only provide support. Destinies are forged by our hand, not someone else's." Shigaraki remained silent for a minute, before pulling her into a hug, Eva was surprised but embraced him.

Later that day, around the campfire, Eva was sitting alone, the other two were currently out. She was watching the blue flames dance with each other. She looked over when Toya walked in, he had his eyes focused on the ground. When he got over to Eva, he plopped down with his back to her, then laid back putting his head in her lap. He still wouldn't look at her.

"Something on your mind?" asked Eva as she began to play with his hair.

"It's nothing for you to waste your time worrying about," answered Toya looking at the fire. Eva leaned down, planting a gentle kiss on his cheek. "Eva."

" I am all ears," said Eva putting a hand on his face, Toya finally looked at her. She took the opportunity to kiss his nose and then his lips. "Tell me what's on your mind, ease it."

"With how clingy I am, would you be friends with me in another life?" asked Toya.

"You heard the conversation," noted Eva.

"Would you?" asked Toya.

"I'd be an idiot to pass you up," said Eva touching his ear and the scars below his eye. Eva leaned down kissing him on the forehead.

***

The next day, Eva laid flat on the Frankenstein table, she was staring up at a light; she had a gag around her mouth. All For One dug the knife into her, just above the knee on the flat side.

"I do wish Tomura would have listened to me sooner about recruiting you," said All For One as he began to peel the skin off her leg. "Just think how much easier it would be for Tomura to fulfill his goal with living magic on his side." She screamed in pain as her blood spilled rapidly, even with the gag, her screaming was loud. Spinner had to step out of the cave due to Shigarak's and Eva's screams. Toya came back from the river and sat with Spinner. All For One put Eva's skin in a container; Eva passed out ten minutes into the process.

***

After Eva regained consciousness and the session was over, Eva was now wrapping a section of her leg as Shigaraki shirtless lay between her legs, his head on her lap.

"I'm going to ask you again, what do you love most about this world?"

"The sky," said Eva placing her hands on her leg. "The alignments, the moon, the sun are all the same here and in the Otherworld. Looking at it or flying through it makes me feel less homesick." He watched her unwrap the bandages; he was surprised to see that some of the skin had grown back. "The stars shine the same." Shigaraki glanced up at her star-filled eyes.

"Overhaul has told me about your past when he rescued you from heroes. With your past, you've never thought about destroying the world?" asked Shigaraki as Eva started to wrap another section of her leg. "Just completely destroy it."

"If I did I wouldn't need to lift a finger when humans are already doing it," said Eva. "Environmentally and well... the way you are going at it." She moved the bandages down. "Why did you kill that fairy hunter?"

"You currently belong to me," answered Shigaraki; he sat up turning around and trapping her in his legs. "I'm keeping you around for life."

"Every living breathing thing rubs you the wrong way," recalled Eva.

"Eva Yuki," said Shigaraki. "I'm abiding by one of your ideologies for now. Mortal King of the Underworld; holding a mythical princess captive." He grabbed her chin with his thumb and his pointer finger. He lifted her face till their eyes met.

"Princess?" repeated Eva.

Shigaraki smiled. "Fairy Princess Hero: Violet Gust...the King of Villains keeping the hero's princess captive for life."

Eva tilted her head. "Uh--"

"It does make being a villain more fun," admitted Shigaraki brushing his thumb over her bottom lip.

"What's going to happen to me when you run out of things to be dissected?" asked Eva.

"I am not the one dissecting, my master is. You will still belong to me until the day I die," answered Shigaraki, putting his face closer to her. "I do like having you around, my love, light." Shigaraki then kissed her; she kissed back. "It's just as I told you, I'm keeping you around for life." Shigaraki kissed her again, and Eva deepened the kiss. "We bought that cottage, didn't we?" Eva nodded, and their lips reconnected, as the kissed Shigaraki reached behind to grab a pair of gloves to slip on. "Thinking of opening that store." Eva nodded again in another kiss.

Shigaraki's hand traveled down to Eva's gown, pulling on the strings. He pulled back to look Eva in the eyes, she gave a nod, Shigaraki went back to kissing her as he grabbed her chest. His hand moved around, feeling every aspect with squeezes and rubs. Shigaraki pulled back and looked down when Eva's hand slowly moved down his chest; taking in everything with touch. Shigaraki slowly removed the gown, he watched it slip off her body. Shigaraki looked at Eva; she nodded; then he looked at her chest for a second before placing his mouth on the right boob. His tongue swirled around her nipple, flicking the ring; he then began to suck for a minute. Shigaraki dragged his left hand down to her stomach; and further; his fingers moved in a circle around the more sensitive area. Eva pushed Shigaraki onto his back; Shigaraki gave a nod of approval, he stared up at her as her hands started on his chest; and played with his nipples, as she kissed his neck. Slowly, her right hand went down into his pants. She looked at him, he gave a nod, Eva further into his pants, she felt him for a bit, many sounds of pleasure. Then she started to pull on his pants; Shigaraki lifted his butt; so she could get his pants off. He pushed Eva onto her back the moment she grabbed his balls again; squeezing them. Shigaraki kissed her lips, then went to her neck as he fingered her below. He kissed down her torso, till he got between her legs. Shigaraki had his hands gripping Eva's thighs, and his lips on the phoenix tattoo, with eyes directly on hers. Eva gave a nod. After many sounds of pleasure, Shigaraki shifted positioning his dick between Eva's legs, he looked at her and Eva gave him a nod. He looked back down, he slowly inserted himself, lowering his body closer to hers. Eva let out a sharp breath as she put her hands on Shigaraki's chest, he was bigger than Toya, it was an adjustment.

"Am I hurting you?" asled Shigaraki asked he paused.

Eva shook her head. "Keep going." She wrapped her legs around Shigaraki as he began his pace.

About forty minutes later; Shigaraki and Eva sat in the tub together; small aftercare. Eva closed her eyes; she could feel the lingering effect of Shigaraki's dick going in and out of her; from when she was on her back. When Shigaraki was going in from behind while grabbing onto her chest; put his dick between her breasts, sucking him. He fingered her quite a bit; rubbing that one spot that made her squirm the most. Shigaraki was a little more gentle compared to Toya surprisingly; Shigaraki would ask if he was doing something correctly before putting his all into it. Her mind went back to one particular moment.

Eva was on her back with her legs over Shigaraki's shoulder, and Shigaraki was going down; with his head close to hers, he had his hand pressed down on her lower stomach. Shigaraki pushed his dick as deep as it could go; then stopped; she felt it throbbing rapidly. Shigaraki kissed Eva as she felt an excited sensation fill her with warmth below. Shigaraki pulled away from her lips, and watched as he pulled out of her; they both looked at the mess that was made. He moved back, sitting with his legs arched up a bit. Eva then crawled over to him; positioned herself on his lap; and embraced him in another kiss. Eva's hand traveled down his chest, going down to his pelvis. Eva pulled back a bit with their foreheads still touching. Eva looked Shigaraki in the eyes; he immediately kissed her passionately, squeezing her bosom with both hands. Eva used her hand to get Shigaraki hard again which only took a few seconds. They both adjusted into a Lotus position, they did another round.

Eva opened her eyes; looking over at Shigaraki, his back had a couple of scratch marks. Eva slowly moved closer to him. Shigaraki looked back when Eva put her hand on his back; she was tending to scratch marks she made on him.

"I am so sorry," apologized Eva. Shigaraki turned around; her hand now rested on his chest, over his heart.

"You heroes and your justification for violence," said Shigaraki in a joking matter.

Eva looked up at him with a smile. "Between you and me, I think you enjoyed it." Shigaraki shook his head, kissing her forehead. Shigaraki wrapped his arms around her, pulling her tightly into his body, resting his head on top of hers. Eva glanced over to the tally wall as she hugged him.

It was day 16 and she'd been conscious for 14 days.

That would not be the only time between the two as well. Such as the next morning, when they tried a few different positions and Shigaraki got rougher which Eva enjoyed. Shigaraki would make the first move, signaling he wanted to by putting a finger under her chin. Like Toya, he respected Eva's answer of no.

***

Eva slept peacefully for most of the night, she woke up on her side, to see Shigaraki on his back with barely any of the blanket on him, only his foot was under it.

"How long have you been like this?" asked Eva.

Shigaraki turned to look at her, he seemed annoyed. "I know you get cold easily, but when the human furnace is practically attached to you the entire night doesn't give you the right to hog the blanket." Eva looked back to see Toya asleep, he was spooning her, arms wrapped tightly around her waist. She slowly looked back at Shigaraki.

"Another person could have wandered in here and they would have seen my dick," said Shigaraki.

"You have pants and we have towels," said Eva.

"I still would have been vulnerable," said Shigaraki, Eva smiled lightly as she lifted up the blanket, and in seconds Shigaraki cuddled up to her, wrapping one leg around her, getting in between her and Toya's legs, letting the blanket fall over him. Shigaraki had it be so her head was touching his chest, he looked at Toya still peacefully sleeping, he reached over gently pushing some of the hair out of his face, then put his arm down over the two.

***

The next day in the bath; Eva sat pressed against the wall; one leg out. She couldn't get everything to grow back with her abilities; so Toya sewed the rest together. On either side of her were Toya and Shigaraki; they laid back; with their legs sticking out on the other side.

"I've been thinking," said Shigaraki. "Let's have a dance."

In a flash, Eva had straddled Shigaraki; her hands on his face. "Will you keep your word about having a dance?" Toya scooted over to them; closing the gap.

"In 15 days," answered Shiagraki; his eyes glued to hers; she kissed him, and both boys noticed the light around her glow brighter; when she pulled back there was a huge smile on her face; Toya and Shigaraki both became enchanted even more. In seconds; Eva realized what she had just done; Toya got shoved into Shigaraki, and soon she was at the edge of the tub; back toward the other two; hands in her hair.

Shigaraki turned facing the rim of the tub; putting his back to the others. Toya looked over his shoulder to see that his boss had a problem down below. "I can help with that."

"Focus your energy somewhere else," ordered Shigaraki putting a finger on his very chapped lips. "I can handle this myself." Toya went over to Eva; he placed his head on her, wrapping his arms around her; kissing the shoulder tattoo.

"Would you like help with anything, love bug?" asked Toya as Eva twisted her body a bit to face him, she simply pulled his face closer for a kiss, to which Toya happily complied.

A bit later they sat in towels around a fire that Toya made; blue flames were hugging Eva from behind with his head on her shoulder, as Shigaraki had his head in her lap. Eva had given up on keeping those two out of her personal space. They had grown to really love the stories Eva told them, from all cultures. Eva was quick to figure out that neither was told much; she was more than happy to tell them. Shigaraki liked to put his head on Eva's lap when she told her stories; eyes focused on the fire, Toya clung to her in every position possible.

Toya opened his eyes when Eva's story about Pandora's box ended; he turned his head to kiss Eva's cheek, and his eyes flicked to Shigaraki. Eva was tracing her hand down his body to the towel line and back up tracing the scars. The towel was not doing much to hide the boner; Toya nudged Eva, she looked at him and then looked at what he was gesturing to.

"Sorry," Eva apologized, resting her hand on his lower abdomen. "You can say something." Shigaraki looked up, blushing a bit.

"You were enjoying it, weren't you?" teased Toya; Shigaraki blushed even more. "Let's see." Toya undid Shigaraki's towel exposing him; his dick sprang up, hitting Eva's hand.

"Toya!" hissed Eva taking the towel to cover Shigaraki.

"Expose him and all his glory," said Toya undoing the towel.

"Let's not," disagreed Eva redoing the towel. They argued for a minute, fighting with Shigaraki's towel, until Shigaraki grabbed Eva's hand; they looked at him as he slid it down his body; then stopped right at the base of his dick.

'Please say yes,' pleaded Toya in his head. Eva gave a nod of approval, in a flash all the towels got removed, Shigaraki was sucking her right boob while fondling the other, and Toya had his head between her legs. He kissed her sensitive spot four times before putting his tongue into action.

An hour and a half later, all three of them cuddled up on the mattress together. Shigaraki and Eva were both surprised by what just happened while Toya was falling asleep with a smile. Eva's hands and mouth explored both Shigaraki and Toya's bodies, their hands and mouths explored hers and each other. The different positions, the different speeds; Toya was just as rough as he was the times before; Shigaraki seemed a bit shy of what he was doing in front of Toya. Eva took his hands and placed them where she wanted them; after some rude 'guidance' from Toya, he got rough as well. Lots of kissing was involved from all parties.

Eva looked over at the tally wall.

Day 17, 15 days of being conscious.

Eva closed her eyes; she got pictures in her head of what happened.

Toya gave her oral; as Eva gave Shigaraki oral and he gave Toya oral. Toya gave Shigaraki oral and he sucked on Eva's chest. Eva sucked Shigaraki's dick; as Toya went in behind Shigaraki. Eva sucked Toya's dick as Shigaraki went in on her from behind Toya and Shigaraki sucked on her chest at the same time; while teasing and fingering her down there. At some point, Shigaraki went in through the back on Eva, and Toya went in through the front on Eva; the two boys switched places. Eva's mind kept going to one particular position. Shigaraki was on his back; and Eva riding him facing him, while Toya was going in the back on Eva. The feeling of Shigaraki's hands on her torso, leaning down and kissing him as Toya cupped her chest and kissed her neck and Shigaraki.

Eva's opened her eyes when she felt Toya start to rub her back; where the wings got ripped out. He kissed her on the forehead the minute she looked; they both looked to see that Shigaraki had completely passed out.

***

For the next few days, Eva spent it being dissected as usual, talking to Skeptic, advising Spinner to not trust All For One. 'Making a deal with All For One is like making a deal with a fairy or a demon.' She taught Shigaraki how to dance every day during her second alone time part of the day. They used the old record player just outside the room for music. Sometimes it led to getting a little more physical. Shigaraki had just spun her into his arms, dipping her a bit. He placed a gentle kiss; she happily kissed back while standing back up. Shigaraki then put a finger under chin, Eva gave three short kisses in response, Shigaraki lifted her up by the thighs; putting her against the wall; she fiddled with his pants as he opened the gown. In no time, his dick got inserted, Eva gripped his arm, legs wrapped around his torso as his hips moved. Without moving his mouth from neck, and dick; he carried her over to a large flat stone, laying her out to continue. The tub session after that was peacefully silent, and Toya sat with a proud smirk; quickly figuring out what happened.

Eva showed Shigaraki the trick she showed Toya, by turning it on with her magic as well as the Northern Lights up close. Like Toya, the decay man was amazed. Shigaraki didn't hate slow dancing with her; he only found peace in his head from All For One while in this room. Toya danced with Eva any chance that he got. She had more intercourse with Toya and Shigaraki. Between the two, Toya liked to get to her in the morning or evening. Toya liked to try in the evening for the chance of Shigaraki walking on and joining. Meanwhile, Shigaraki liked to try for it during the first alone time, he could go for 1-2 rounds.

Eva thought back to a recent time with Toya when they were in a lap dance position. And a recent time with Shigarak, where they were in the pretzel dip position.

Eva was currently dancing with Toya due to the fact Shigaraki had to step out due to All For One.

"Toya, my firelight," said Eva as she got dipped, he locked his eyes on hers, and she kissed his cheek. "I never thanked you for the piercings or tattoos." He simply kissed her on the lips and then on the hand with the staples tattoo.

****

One evening, Eva was sitting in the tub hugging her knees in a blank state. All For one had skinned both her arms; he was sure to not touch the tattoos. It took an hour for Eva to regain consciousness after that, even after gaining consciousness, she knew it would be a while till she was able to bounce back. She didn't even budge when someone came close to the tub,

"Love Bug," said Toya; he was sitting shirtless on the edge of the tub with his back to her. "I brought a little something for you." He looked back at her. "Look at me, Eva Yuki."

"Later," said Eva softly closing her eyes. "I'm feeling a bit tired." Toya reached over to put a hand on her shoulder; just for it to go right through. "Tomorrow." Toya's eyes widened, she'd never done this before.

Toya got in the tub. "Eva! Look at me, dammit!" He then thought back to what Eva said a few days ago, how when she dies she will fade, if he could cry, his eyes would be filled with tears. He never thought he would become so attached to another person like this, he finally understood Endeavor's warning about friending a fairy from many years ago. He has not fully comprehended how Eva has effected him, what Toya knew is that he could not lose her.

Then looked down to see some glittering gold dust starting to come off of Eva; the glow around her was dim. In a few minutes; Toya knelt in front of Eva with a vial containing her life force; two others were on the table. He opened one of those cuts; and then carefully put the energy back inside through a cut closer to her heart.

"You need to wake up now," instructed Toya, grabbing the other vial; he repeated the action; he did three more times after that. He touched her shoulder; after feeling Eva was no longer intangible; he put his hands on her face. "Look at me." He put his forehead to hers. "Please, look at me." With a sigh, Toya shifted till they were sitting side by side, her head on his shoulder. "I brought you an autumn bellflower, my mother's favorite." Eva still didn't respond, Toya took her hand with one less finger putting it on his face for a few seconds. "You are not allowed to die yet, open your eyes." He looked at her arms, he was not happy with what he saw. When Toya said they were matching her tattoo and his arm, he did not want it to be mean literally. Though his scars are from his quirk, not being skinned. Without knowing what else to do; Toya looked forward.

Toya looked over the moment he felt a hand touching his face, Eva was looking up at him; without a word; Toya kissed her, then hugged her tightly. Eva held him just as tightly. When Toya pulled back a Rindou flower was in his hands.

"For you." Toya put the flower into her hands; he watched her put the flower to her nose.

"The flower is beautiful," complimented Eva, she looked up at Toya holding a bell jar. "Can you light the flower on fire?"

Toya narrowed his eyebrows. "You want me to do what?" He watched purple energy absorb into the flower. "I went through all that effort of finding the flower, and now you want me to burn it?"

"Fire, please," requested Eva without hesitation; Toya looked at his nails. "I can bring it back to life from the ashes if it burns." He clicked his tongue and lit two flames off his fingers; he looked away touching the flower with fire. "Perfect." He looked to see that the flower remained intact as it was surrounded by flames; he sat up more as Eva put it in the bell jar.

"Why isn't this full, yet?" They looked to see Shigaraki getting in the tub, and turning on the faucet. "You both are still clothed." Eva scooted over to him holding up the bell jar. "A new flower for your collection." Shigaraki seemed just as upset as Toya when he saw the state of Eva's arms. Shigaraki tilted his head taking the flower. "Why isn't it burning?" Toya pointed at Eva; Shigaraki put the item on the table by him; then grabbed Eva's hospital gown to undo it.

****

Later that night, Shigaraki remained in his usual spot, while Eva and Toya switched spots. Well, Eva thought he was asleep until the change of pace in his heartbeat and the change in his snores; Eva moved out of being the little spoon and rolled over to her other side facing him.

Toya opened his eyes. "How did you know I was awake?" He adjusted his arm, putting a hand on Eva's back, pulling her closer to his chest.

"Your heart rate and snores changed," answered Eva, he put a hand on her face. He couldn't get what he saw earlier out of his mind.

"Why did you enchant the flower?" asked Toya changing the subject.

"Why did you go out of your way to bring it to me?" asked Eva putting her hand on his face.

"What a villain can't be nice to a princess?" asked Toya.

"No," denied Eva wiping blood spilling out of his eye. "But I am curious about the intentions."

"Do I need a reason?" asked Toya brushing a thumb over her cheekbone. "Now answer my question, fairy."

"Both, something so beautiful but so destructive," answered Eva; she was tracing his left ear carefully. "Let them exist side by side for eternity." Toya pulled Eva's face closer to him to kiss her; she pulled back a bit.

"Toya."

"Eva," he sounded.

"Thank you for saving my life," said Eva. Instead of responding verbally; Toya kissed her again.

"Hades would have done it Persephone," said Toya breaking the kiss, he looked over at the eternally burning flower.

"Yes," said Eva turning his face toward her. "But that is a symbol of the love we have." Toya kissed her again, and Eva kissed back.

***

Day 33, Eva had been in the cave for about a month and two days. She had created a bond with everyone but All For One. She had gotten way closer to Shigaraki and Toya in many ways. She was bewildered by the amount of times she had slept with the two of them. Including four of the times when it was the three of them. One of the times, Toya was giving Shigaraki a lesson on pleasing Eva and doing things correctly. She remembered sitting on the Frankenstein table, with her legs back. Toya would kiss Shigaraki, demonstrating a technique with his tongue. Shigaraki then would pull back and try it on Eva's crotch. She remembered Shigaraki and Toya shoving their fingers up the same hole at the same time. Toya would show Shigaraki something, with his dick in Eva, and then pull out so Shigaraki could insert himself in Eva and copy Toya as best he could. Eva was told she would get that spring buzz from her family, elders, and teachers. Eva thought they were just being funny, she wished she had listened more.

Toya: 20 (Individually 15)

Shigaraki: 16 (Individually 11)

Total = 36 times

The special day approached, and that morning, All For One removed the skin on Eva's other leg. After that, Eva was kneeling on the ground, and a lot of green energy swept over the place from the top of the room to the bottom.

"Hey, Eva!" greeted Toya walking in the room with a bouquet. "I was thinking---" Eva looked back to see Toya purely in curiosity.

"Oh," breathed Eva.

"What did she say?" asked Shigaraki. "Spinner has found some ribbon to hang up for decorations." Those two walked in and became silent from what they were seeing.

"Is this coming from you, Yuki?" Spinner managed out. "All of this?"

"Yes," Eva answered slowly. "I'm--"

"Finish what you were going to do with it," instructed Toya squatting next to her. Eva looked at her hands. "You aren't trying to kill us, are you?"

"Of course not!" assured EVa looking at him. "I was just decorating."

"Decorating," repeated all three of them, in a flash they were all sitting and surrounding her. "Show us." Eva showed them her hand, then snapped her fingers. In an instant, the green energy disappeared and was replaced with flowers hanging all around them just above their heads, lined along the walls and edges.

"Amazing," breathed Spinner. Laying on his back, he stared at the hanging flower garden above them. "Truly amazing." Eva blushed at his compliment as Shigaraki took her hand to study.

"What else can you do?" asked Toya taking her other hand.

"Most importantly how are you able to do it?" asked Shigaraki.

"Magic," answered Eva.

"But how?" asked Shigaraki. "We only see this type of power in video games."

"I was taught to focus on the energy around me as well as within, they have to harmonize," answered Eva. "Of course, I can still mess up even if I can feel the harmony, so there was a lot of training involved."

"Who taught you what you just did now?" asked Spinner looking over at her.

"Grandma Thaila," answered Eva, her mom's mom.

"Your grandma sounds kind," said Shigaraki looking at her, he was hanging on the word kind.

"She can be," Eva nodded. "She's a tough-love type of lady; once dropped me from the clouds when I was still learning to fly...took my brother Gino's voice for two after backtalking, and had my cousin spread dragon dung with bare hands after causing a huge amount trouble; stunk for weeks." She looked at Toya, his pupils larges, he was completely taken by her.

"So what else can you do?" asked Toya. Eva took her hands from the other two, then got to her feet, spreading out her hands. They all watched as the lines on her hands and veins turned green, Eva simply lifted her hands, and two magnolia trees sprouted by the entrance in a spring bloom of pink flowers, they watched roots appear in the ground. In that very moment, all three villains even the Symbol of Fear truly acknowledged the power difference between them and Eva. The power she was showing them was truly gentle and kind, neither not even Shigaraki wanted to see what could happen if she got mad.

Eva sat back down. "Compared to my cousins this is nothing."

"Well, it's incredible to us," said Spinner. "Your every day is not our everyday. Not in the slightest, quirks don't measure up."

"Don't say that!" chimed Eva. "I think quirks are cool; their origin is so mysterious, mind you, I have one as well."

"My quirk is a weak one," said Spinner.

"Do you even like geckos?" asked Eva, he glared at her. "If you even took a minute to study up on them, you'll learn about all they can do." Eva pulled her hands away from Shigaraki and Toya to grab Spinner's hands. "Geckos are pretty good at swimming, they can stick to walls as you know, hang upside down by a single toe, have powerful night vision, and some are even capable of camouflage." Spinner blinked unsure how to respond.

"If you have been hiding any of this from us--" began Toya.

"I didn't know!" barked Spinner looking at him. "I grew to hate geckos."

"Really?" asked Eva in surprise. "They are pretty funny introverts." They looked at her. "I can speak with animals."

"Anything else?" asked Shigaraki as Eva sat back down, she nodded.

"I know a lot of languages," answered Eva. "In my opinion it's one of the most powerful tools out there, to know different languages." Right before Eva the Paranormal fight, Eva was teaching Shoto Romanian and Spanish. When the world mission came around they were all heading to different countries. The hero course had her sit down with people and teach a few basic phrases and words in the places they were heading to. Even during the work-study, she got sent to different agencies to help out. She taught Arabic to Mineta, Sero, Kaminari, and Shiozaki. French to Nejire, Urakaka, and Tsu with help from Aoyama. Malay to Yaoyorozu and Tokage. And then brushed up on English with Tokoymai, Shishido, Ojiro, Sato, Shoda, and Shishida. She brushed on everyone's English. With the Endeavor Agency, Eva taught them all basic French, Spanish, and Portuguese, as well as brush up on their English. Eva likes to sit and speak French with Aoyama a lot, it definitely made him feel more at ease. She was trying to teach the girls in her class, Vietnamese and Italian. Thinking back more about her classmates, Eva was starting to feel sad, she thought about them a lot in the cave.

"While on the patrol, I always found joy in helping people that way," said Eva with a small smile. "Technically, it is not hero work, but it means a lot to the person. Plus, it does not involve fighting." She tilted her head. "In all honesty, if the hero path doesn't work out, I am definitely thinking of picking up translating or language tutoring jobs."

"Oh, that would be cool," said Spinner. "But why?"

"It seems like fun," answered Eva.

"I thought you were going to open a Griffin sanctuary," said Shigaraki.

"Why not do both?" asked Eva. "Is there a rule you can only do one thing for the rest of your life?"

"It seems like a lot to fit in a short time," said Shigaraki.

"I have about 900 more years to go till I die due to old age," said Eva. "I'll be able to fit it all in." Shigaraki got up, grabbed a book, and brought it to her, it was in Mongolian.

"Translate this," said Shigaraki opening a page. "You reread this one a lot, but when I tried I realized it was not a language I knew."

"I grabbed what I could find," said Spinner. "Though, that ended up not matter to you." Eva put her finger on the page, and they all watched as the letters changed into Japanese, it became readable for them.

"WOAH!" they all sounded, Eva smiled and laughed lightly at their reaction.

"Magic is truly amazing," said Shigaraki looking at her. "Living magic being the most amazing." The others nodded in agreement. "You said with your hero work, you'd want to focus more on the supernatural area."

"The term villain can be different back home," said Eva. "Technically, to a rival land I am a villain to them. but to friend, I am ally and hero."

"Rival land?" asked Spinner.

"The Hidden world is very large and vast," answered Eva. "Like here, we have different lands and oceans. Fae is also like a general term since a lot of us fall under that category. There are elves, satyrs, goblins, pixies, and the different elements. I am an Earth fairy."

"But what about those tricks you can do with fire?" asked Toya.

"I can pick up tricks from different elements, but that is all that they are: tricks," explained Eva. "Plus, my quirk is wind." She looked back at her wings.

"Still, it's amazing," said Toya.

The rest of the day seemed to go fast; she slept with Shigaraki and Toya one more time and soon it was time for the dance. Eva was fixing her arm; she looked in the mirror to see Yota step into Spinner's body and Takio step into Toya's body; both ghosts could pass under the doorway without a problem. Eva grew highly relieved to learn that All For One wouldn't be joining; bummed that Skeptic wasn't going to.

"You sure?" asked Eva.

"Positive," answered Skeptic typing away on his laptop. "I don't want to lose my connection."

Eva held out a flower. "Take this." Skeptic looked at it for a second before taking it. Soon the dance started up; down the hall in the room All For One stayed; the oxygen in his tank turned a purple color; it didn't take him long to knock him into a long sleep.

***All For One's Dream ***

All For One was strapped to a cross and the sky and moon were blood red and clouds were black. A demon in front of him skinned and tore him to shreds; they pieced All For One back together. Then he would be stabbed with swords by one demon, then 100 would appear to stab him, and then it would be switched back to the sole demon skinning and tearing him to shreds. This happened on repeat for 12 hours.

****

Back in the cave; Eva had switched partners; she was now dancing with Spinner as Toya and Shigaraki danced with each other; neither noticing the trance they were falling into from the flowers spinning around them. In another room; Skeptic was typing away, he looked at the flower Eva gave him; he picked it up gave it a whiff, and then put it back down, he went back to typing for a couple of minutes before the internet went out.

"Huh?" asked Skeptic as he tapped the keys repeatedly. "This can't be possible!" For the rest of his dream; Skeptic would spend the next 12 hours of his dream without the internet

***

Back in the dancing room; two of the ghosts disguised as Eva were dancing with Dabi and Shigaraki, and the real one was still dancing with Spinner; She put a flower in his mouth after kissing him on the cheek.

"A bit cheesy," said Spinner taking it out of his mouth. 'Ow.' One of the thorns from the stem poked him.

"Oh, let me," said Eva; her right hand glowed teal as she placed it on the injury.

Spinner smiled a little. "You are an interesting one that's for sure." He heard a clang outside the room; he checked to see that Toya and Shigaraki were 'dancing' with each other. "Hang tight." He stepped out of the room; to find a clapping toy monkey. "What the?" As soon as he went to go grab it; the monkey moved. "What the hell?" He followed the clapping monkey into a different room; as soon as he picked it up; he looked up to see practically a maze of walls and tunnels; he looked back to see the same thing. "WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?" For the rest of Spinner's dream, he'd be trapped trying to get out of a labyrinth.

***

Back in the cave; Yota was in Spinner's body removing the iron horseshoes from the doorway; Takio disguised as Eva danced with Toya, and the real Eva danced with Shigaraki.

"My darkness, thank you for keeping your promise," said Eva. "It means a lot."

"It's just a stupid dance," said Shigaraki.

"Dancing is everything to my people," said Eva with a small smile; as he spun her close to him. "Thank you." She kissed him. Shigaraki became lost for words as they continued to dance until he heard strange music coming from outside the room.

"Do you hear that?" asked Shigaraki. "That music."

"Yeah," answered Eva as she looked back. "I can't seem to place where I've heard it from." They stopped dancing; without a word; Shigaraki kissed Eva deeply and then walked out of the room to find the source of the sound. He followed it out of the cave; he was surprised to find a carnival town right before him.

"What is all this?" Without looking back; he started to wander through the place; he stopped to see swings being pushed...it wasn't windy. For the rest of his dream; Shigaraki would spend it trying to locate what was haunting the empty carnival town.

***

Back in the cave; Eva was now just dancing with Toya; he was so focused on Eva's eyes and the glow coming off of her; that he didn't notice that they were surrounded by a circle of flowers;

"I still don't get why you called yourself disgusting," said Eva as he spun her. "I think you are memorizing; just so beautiful."

Toya's eyes widened, he remembered what All For One said. 'Fairies are unable to lie.' He spun her into his chest; eyes locked on her. Toya cupped Eva's face with his hand before kissing her, and she kissed back. Toya pulled back after two minutes of kissing from the feeling of being watched. He looked to see a hooded figure in the reflection of the mirror; he looked back to see nobody was there. Then looked at Eva who was staring up at him in wonder. "Everything okay?"

"Stay here," ordered Toya as they stood up straight.

"It's all I've been doing," said Eva pointing at the 'horseshoes' in the doorway.

"Go keep the boss entertained," ordered Toya; he went to step away, but Eva had a hold on his wrist. "I'll be back." He kissed her again; he felt her hang onto the kiss a bit. He then pulled back and left the room. (Eva took the moment to step out of his dream.) Toya saw a light coming from the other end of the hall. "Must've been one of the Nomu." He walked down the hall, and to his surprise outside the cave, he saw a light post just a few feet away. For the rest of Toya's dream; he wanders through an enchanted forest; looking for random light posts.

***
Back in the cave; Eva with her wings freed, had gathered all of the supplies from All For One's room; she grabbed all the bottles that held her blood, tears, and life force, and showed them into a bag. She broke half of the vials with her life force, letting it return to her body. She stepped back into the room where she was being held captive, Shigaraki, Spinner, and Toya were all on the floor sound asleep. She looked over to see Yota and Takio dancing with each other.

"I must thank you for your help," said Eva, they looked at her. "You two are amazing."

"Sorry, it took us so long to master possession," said Yota. "You must be irritated."

"I'm proud you were able to master it," said Eva with a smile. "You two should be proud of yourselves."

"We are," smiled Takio. "Uh...what now for us?"

"You can stay here or move on and reincarnate," Eva answered. "That decision is up to you." She studied them; she then went up and kissed their cheeks. "Truly, I will forever be grateful for your help."

"Are you going to miss them?" asked Yota, they looked back at the people on the floor. "You seemed to grow a liking for them." He winked at her acknowledging what happened between her, Shigaraki, and Toya.

"Of course, I will miss them," answered Eva. "They will wake in 12 hours, by then I will be long gone." With a final glance especially at Toya and Shigaraki, and a final goodbye, Eva left the cave with the enchanted flowers that Toya and Shigaraki gave her, and for the first time in a long time, she felt the rain falling on her; the soil beneath her feet. She stood there for a couple of minutes just looking up at the open sky; feeling the world around her. By the time, Eva had gotten to a road; it was getting dark and it had stopped raining. Then once again for the first time in a long time; she took flight, it felt just as amazing as the first time her mom taught her. She flew for a bit before landing in the middle of the road; the car approaching slammed on its brakes; stopping just in time. The door opened right away, and out stepped All Might.

"Young Yuki?" asked All Might in surprise; it was clear she had lost a lot of weight, she was torn a lot, her shoulder had a hand print on it, the tattoo visible on her arm, her limbs wrapped in bandages, two of her wings missing and the hospital gown was covered in her blood and dirt. "My god, kid."

"All Might!" lit up Eva; tears formed in her eyes; she tackled him in a hug. "It is really good to see you." A couple of minutes later, Eva was in the car as a passenger.

"I think Central Hospital is nearest," said All Might.

"No," denied Eva. "I wanna go back to UA."

All Might glanced at her. "Young Yuki; you've been missing for a long time and it looks like you've been to hell and back. I truly think you should get checked out at a hospital first."

Eva shook her head. "I want to see Izuku and Katsuki." Tears streamed down her cheeks. "I really miss my classmates." She looked at him. "Please All Might, sir." With a sigh, All Might gave in to her request and took her to UA.

"Here, your father requested I give this to you if I ran into you," said All Might holding out a ring.

"Thank you...Is he alright?" asked Eva slipping on the ring; her glow disappeared. She studied the ring carefully; it was her mom's.

"He's staying at UA with other refugees," answered All Might; Eva looked at him oddly. "He's pretty good at calming the kids and wants to look after a few others. Your brothers have been helping out as well" All Might smiled a bit. "The Todoroki family had grown quite the liking to them."

Eva smiled a bit. "That sounds like him, as for my brothers I am happy to hear they are helping." All Might looked at the flowers that Eva put in the back of the car. "Shigaraki and Toya gifted them to me, I enchanted them." All Might glanced at her. "I'm sorry for--"

"You have nothing to be sorry about," said All Might cutting her off.

On the way to UA, Eva told All Might all the useful information she learned while captive. All Might told her how everyone was doing; Aizawa was recovering in the hospital. At some point on the way to UA; Eva passed out due to motion sickness. Upon reaching the school All Might left Eva in the car to rest a bit as he went to talk to Midoriya.

"I am here to apologize," said All Might bowing. "For not being of any use, Young Midoriya." With him was Iida who was given the bag Eva was carrying, Sato who held the pink flower in the bell jar, Ashido, Tokoyami, and Ojiro who held the other bell jar.

"HUH!?" panicked Izuku. "No way! What are you talking about? You helped me a ton out there!"

Ashido started to yell at All Might; throwing her hands in the air. "If you're going to apologize for being shady, you better ask us for forgiveness too! You can't just take our friend away and ghost us!"

All Might stood up; his face grim. "The day of the final battle will soon be here." Everyone gasped. "Sorry, I caused everyone to worry." He studied his students. "Details aren't important at the moment, but there's a lot of new intel, you'll get more information in the coming days. And we'll need everyone's help even mine." He looked at his hand. "As this body may limit my usefulness, but I'll do my best." Out of the corner of his eye through the window; he saw Eva approaching the building.

"All Might," began Izuku. "The food you brought me, gave me the strength to keep going. I'm sure I lost my way because I distanced myself from you. So for now on, we fight side by side."

"Let's protect the world!" declared Iida.

All Might smiled after a few seconds. "Thank you all." He then looked back at the doorway.

"What is it, All Might?" asked Izuku.

"I picked up someone with the worst degree of motion sickness I've ever seen," said All Might as the door opened; Izuku's body moved on its own; he started to cry as he pulled Eva into a hug; she hugged back; tears welled up in her eyes.

"Eva, I looked all over for you," Izuku managed out; hugging her tighter.

"Yuki," said Ashido softly with tears in her eyes. Everyone at the door was taking in the sight of their classmate; Bakugo's head whipped toward the door.

All Might studied his students with a small smile. "About gave me a heart attack appearing on the road like that. Straight out of a scene in a horror movie." Eva pulled back from Izuku; he was in horror looking at the state she was in; he touched her left antenna. "Don't hound her with questions right now." During his time out, Izuku was given all the information about Eva's past 7 abductions. He had thrown up from the reports. Her classmates were given reports too, they all couldn't speak for two hours.

"OUT OF THE WAY YOU DAMN NERDS!" Bakugo flew over to the door; he threw Mineta back by the head, pushing Tsu out of the way. "Eva, you damn, idiot." He hugged her tightly; holding back tears; he hugged her tighter seeing the state she was in.

"You are making her cry," said Ojiro. "Be a little more gentle." Bakugo looked down to see that Eva had tears streaming down her face. Katsuki put a hand on her face before he pulled her into another hug.

"Did you go to the hospital?" asked Iida as he wiped away his tears.

"Young Yuki insisted on coming here, she missed her classmates too much," answered All Might. "She wanted to see Young Midoriya and Young Bakugo in particular." Katuski took Eva over to the couch, Eva was hesitant about sitting.

"Don't worry about getting it dirty," said Hagakure. "Cleaning won't be a hassle."

Eva looked down at herself. "You sure?" Bakugo pulled her down to sit on the couch; instantly becoming sleepy.

"Get some rest," urged Kirishima as he gently put a hand on her head. "We won't let those guys get a hold of you again." Tears filled up Eva's eyes again; Katsuki reached over wiping them away. He could tell that Eva had fallen in love a bit, but she was more happy to be with them again. Katsuki cupped her face leaning forward, turning her head to face him. He could tell it was surface for whomever in the cave, cause she looked at Shoto differently, her eyes were different when thinking about him. Of Katsuki was aware of this, Eva is his best friend, he knows here well. These past weeks without her had been hell.

All Might was now leaving. "Anyway, I got to go."

"Dude, you're bouncing already?" asked Ashido.

"I need to speak with Endeavor and the others," explained All Might. "There's still a lot to do."

"Please tell Hawks, he could at least send me a text message," requested Tokoyami.

"Right," said All Might. "I'll pass that on." He took off, the students regrouped with the others.

"Ooh! Someone's an angry Yami," noted Ashido.

"I'm concerned, not angry," corrected Tokoyami.

"Why don't Endeavor and the others just set up shop at the UA?" asked Sato.

Shoto walked over to the sitting area with two blankets. "He would need a good reason to show his face on campus. Anyone who sees him will think of Dabi, he doesn't want to be triggering. We may have sold the evacuees on Midoriya, but they are not thrilled. Many still don't trust heroes." Bakugo snatched the top blanket off the pile; he began to wrap Eva in it; she had fallen asleep. "Especially my old man." He focused his eyes on Eva for a few seconds; he looked at the print burn mark on her shoulder; the tattoos that would remind anyone of Dabi. He then watched Bakugo kiss Eva's head and forhead.

Yayorozu gasped lightly looking at Izuku. "It seems someone finally calmed down enough to get some sleep." She then looked at Eva. "Yuki as well."

Shoto put a blanket of Izuku. "As Dabi's brother and Endeavor's son, I know many people skeptical about me being here too." He stood up. "Can't blame them."

"Just because of your family," said Kirishima lowering his head. "That sucks so bad, and it's not like you did anything wrong yourself."

"But I did," said Shoto. "I got so obsessed with my bloodline, I forgot who I was." He looked over. "I'm acting with a clearer head now though. And I'll destroy any doubts about me." He smiled a little. "I'll do my best to regain everybody's trust."

Kirishima was shaking; before getting up and slamming his hands on the table. "NOW THAT'S CHIVARLOUY! YOU'RE MAKING ME CRY MANLY TEARS!" He wiped away his tears.

"DONT YELL!" shouted Katsuki putting his hands over Eva's ears.

Jiro was playing with her ear jack. "Right, we got a bunch of evacuees who aren't exactly fans of ours, but we just fix that." Her ear jack grabbed Kaminari. "No Prob."

"Huh," Kamianri sounded as he got pulled closer to Jiro with Yaoyorozu and Tokoyami. "Jiro, you are getting really close."

"What's going on?" asked Shoto.

"It might be kind of weird to compare these two things, but stay with me," began Jiro. "During the school festival, there were plenty of people on the fence about us, we wanted to find a way to reassure them, remember?" She let the others go. "And to make them feel good, too. So, we made a plan to win their hearts," Katsuki grunted in annoyance as Jiro pulled him off the couch by the shirt. "If we could do it back then, I know we can do it again. We just have to give it our all! Let's show them who we are!"

"Yeah, you're right," Shoto smiled, and looked away, Mineta did the same earning a smack from Sero.

"We won't just go back to normal," said Jiro. "We'll make it better than it was before, if we can do this together, we'll go beyond!" Everyone went off to do their own thing; Bakugo went and sat next to Eva on the couch. He squished a pillow in front of her, before pulling on her gown and looking down on the side; he saw another tattoo, injuries, and a few different marks.

"Wow, I didn't know you were a perv as well, Bakugo," said Mineta walking up.

"Oh shut your trap!" shouted Bakugo angrily looking at him. "I am not disgusting like you!"

"Then what are you doing?" asked Mineta wiggling his eyebrows. "Because it looks to me that you are peeping."

"I am curious too," said Yaoyorozu as Iida walked over.

"What is in that bag that All Might handed you four eyes?" asked Bakugo. Iida looked in the bag, he reached in pulling out a vial filled to the top with white liquid. Bakugo took the moment to check on the other side of Eva; he frowned more at the sight. One of the tattoos Bakugo saw was of Shigaraki's hand covered in blue flames.

"From what I know this is her blood," said Iida giving the vial to Tokoyami; he reached in pulling out a clear bottle. "I am not sure about this one."

"Tears," answered Shoto everyone looked at him. "Fairies tears have extraordinary healing abilities." He looked over at her; eyes locking on the handprint.

"Do you know this one as well, Todoroki?" asked Iida holding a vial that glowed white and gold. He shook his head.

"Let me see," said Ashido taking the vial.

"It's so pretty," said Yaoyorozu putting her hands together.

"Tokoyami, do you think any of those books Yuki has would have any on it?" asked Ojiro. "I have never seen anything like it."

"I am sure it does," said Tokoyami. "The only problem is that I do not know the language, not a single book here could help translate."

"Did you try an app?" asked Jiro.

"We've tried," answered Sero. "We can go to her family again."

"We can probably wait till Yuki wakes up again to ask," said Shoji. "I feel bad if we keep bothering them."

"They don't seem to mind," said Ashido. "Gino has been helpful!"

Iida pulled out another vial, it accidentally slipped out of his hands, breaking once it hit the ground. Bakugo looked over, watching with everyone else as the glowing substance; turned into a ball; then went directly into Eva.

"She's really not human, is she?" asked Hagakure putting a hand on Eva's head.

"Not even a little bit," answered Bakugo picking up Eva in his arms, she felt lighter than he remebered. "Take all the vials out of the bag and put them on the table." He set her next to Deku; and leaned her against him. He moved her hair out of her face, tucking it behind her ears. He took in her piercings more as he did this. "I want to know how much those bastards took; so then I know how much more they are going to pay." They emptied the bag, one whole table was filled with blood vials; tears took up another table.

"This is a cottage," acknowledged Tokoyami looking at a folded piece of paper.

"A nice one too," said Ashido looking over his shoulder. "That is definitely Eva's writing on it, the other three I don't recognize."

"Probably the people that held her," said Shoji.

Tokoyami nodded. "It looks like they were planning to relocate."

"Did you find out what that glowing substance is?" asked Shoto looking over at Yaoyorozu.

"Yeah," Yaoyorozu nodded looking up from the laptop. "According to the website; it's life force. Those vials right is pure magic; it flows through Eva like a bloodstream. Like with blood if large amounts is lost she will die." No one dared to look at Bakugo even though his eyes were glued to Eva He moved his hands down his arms; he felt a cut, then pulled at it, the people around him, looked to see a glowing substance shine out. "If humans were to interject it into themselves; small amounts can cause blindness while large amounts can cause immediate death...All For One was most likely trying to experiment with it for more power. And from what we know, he has done it in the past the other times he had his people abduct her." They all snapped their necks to the sound of glass breaking; they looked over to see Shoji and Fumikage had dropped the vials containing that substance. Sato then grabbed a handful and dropped them; the balls of magic went right back to Eva. Tsu grabbed the rest with her tongue dropping them to the ground.

"Thanks," said Bakugo putting his hand on Eva's head. He then pulled her hospital gown back; he looked over to see another tattoo; this one angered him more than the last one. After checking, Bakugo readjusted the pillow around her shoulder to put his head down, slipped his arm behind her, and close his eyes for a bit.

Morning came around; Eva was the first to wake out of everyone, she was leaned against, and Katsuki had put a pillow on his lap, and put his head there. Eva gently put her hand on his head, running her hand through his hair from a few minutes. She gently moved his head to go and washed up, it was nice to truly have a moment alone; she thought about everything over the past month. She was surprised to see there was a set of clean clothes already there. A green jacket that definitely belonged to Gino, a skull t-shirt, and sweatpants. She was so thankful to have pants again, it felt like heaven. When Eva left the bathroom; she saw Shoto standing against the wall staring at the floor; he looked over once the door shut.

"Eva," breathed Shoto; he hugged her tightly. "I am so sorry."

Eva pulled back; she saw that he was crying. "What do you have to be sorry about?"

"If I had been stronger--" began Shoto; he pulled down her sleeve a bit to look at her shoulder.

"Whatever happened wasn't your fault," said Eva cutting him off.

"But it is...with my family's past and my hatred toward my father," said Shoto as Eva reached up; she wiped the tears away. "I will be acting with a clearer head now, and do all I can to regain everybody's trust, including yours." She then placed her hand on his neck; recalling he was burned badly there.

"You've never lost my trust, Shoto," said Eva shaking her head. "I trusted you back then and I trust you now." He took her hand; observing the tattoo; he became saddened to see it was similar to Toya's arm and hand. "Shoto." He looked at her. "Are you able to trust yourself? Forgive yourself?" Shoto pulled the shirt back on Eva, he looked down to see his brother's name tattooed on her back. Without another word; Shoto pulled her into another hug to hide his tears and she hugged back.

Minutes later, Eva came back out to the common area to see Katsuki at one of the tables.

"How are you?" asked Eva sitting next to him; she lifted his shirt putting her hand on his injury.

"Better now that you're here," answered Katsuki taking her hands. "How are you feeling?"

"I'll be okay," answered Eva. Katsuki reached over and touched her antennas. "All For One cut them, said he wanted to inspect them."

"Bastard," grunted Bakugo. His hand moved over to her ear; Eva then took his hand; putting it over her nose; tears formed in her eyes. "Hey." Eva looked at him. "I'm right here." A glass of cranberry nectar slammed on the table; they looked to see Iida.

"I'll be right back with the mallow fruit," said Iida taking off toward the kitchen.

"Girl, who gave you the piercings?" asked Ashido leaning over and touching her ear. "They are super cute."

"Ashido!" hissed Jiro. "Perhaps--" Bakugo was inspecting Eva's hand, the one she lost a finger on, removing bandages to see her nails were completely gone.

"No, it's okay," said Eva. "Uh, Toya pierced them."

Shoto sat at the table in surprise. "My brother?" She nodded; she didn't make an effort to make eye contact with him. "Whatever my brother did to you, I am truly sorry and will do everything I can to regain your trust."

"You aren't your brother, Shoto," said Eva. "Toya didn't do much; in his own way, he was kind for the most part." Everyone was surprised by those words. "We bonded actually." Everyone was more surprised.

"What about damn crusty face?" asked Katsuki. "Did he hurt you at all?"

"No, he was kind in his own way as well, we bonded too," answered Eva, they all became surprised. " The only person to lay their hands on me was All For One."

"What took you so long to get out?" asked Kirishima. "Even with the horseshoes."

"The ghosts on my end had some trouble mastering possession," answered Eva. "On the plus side, I was able to do some intel gathering." Katsuki put a hand on her face; rubbing his thumb across her cheek. "All For One...he plans on merging himself with Shigaraki...taking over his mind, body, and soul."

"Why?" asked Tsu. "What does he plan on getting out of that?"

"Immortality," answered Eva, there was a collective gasp. "I don't understand why, it's more of a curse than it is a gift." They heard a yell; they looked over to see Izuku had released Blackwhip a little on Urakaka.

"Good morning," greeted Urakaka. "Hey!"

"Uh, Urakaka," greeted Izuku. "My---"

"Hey, Midoriya," greeted Kaminari as Mineta walked over. "Did you know that you talk in your sleep?"

"You're safe and sound back at UA," said Mineta. "Put those things away, they look gross."

"Right," said Izuku retracting the power. "I'm sorry." He looked over; he became panicked. "Where's Eva?"

"Eva?" repeated Urakaka with wide eyes, she looked over to see that Eva had returned; she ran over crying. Eva embraced the girl happily, she was very thankful for the girl's interaction again.

"There's no need to worry yourself anymore," said Iida walking over with Yaoyorozu.

"Right, from now on we'll be standing at your side," said Yaoyorozu. "Yuki's sitting at the tables."

"Bakugo has barely left her side," added Sato with a smile. "It's like old times."

"We're all together again," added Iida. "Our class back together."

"Yeah," grunted Kirishima making a fist. "We're going to fight as a class." Izuku smiled, he stood up looked at everyone, then looked at the tables.

"What are these?" asked Urakaka picking up the bell jar with the flower covered in blue flames, but it was not burning. "They are so pretty."

"Oh, Shigaraki and Toya gifted me them," answered Eva. "I enchanted them so the pink one didn't ever wilt and the other one so it didn't burn."

Izuku slowly looked at Eva. "Shigaraki...gifted you a flower?" Everyone stared at her in wonder.

"My brother as well?" asked Shoto in disbelief while everyone else was fascinated by the enchantments. Including, Katsuki, he had seen her do it before, but it was like seeing it for the first. Katsuki gifted Eva a flower the first time he was celebrating her brithday with her. So, se had enchanted it inside a christmas ornament, it got hung up on the tree this year at the dorms. It is a cosmos flower, he had found it floating it through the air, then put it in her hair.

"Yes," answered Eva slowly.

"You smelled clean when you came home," said Kaminari crossing his arms. "Midoriya could be smelled for miles."

"Hey, that's mean," grunted Izuku while pouting.

"They had me bathe twice a day," answered Eva.

"Huh?" sounded Katsuki.

***Back in the cave

When everyone came out of their dreams, they were completely speechless. Everyone but Shigaraki and Toya had left that section of the cave.

"Does this mean we are going to have to fight her?" asked Toya, in all honesty, he did not want to.

"No," answered Shigaraki, he could feel any second of All For One about to retake over. "It would be stupid for any of us to do so." He looked at his hands. "Eva's level of power...it's way out of our league, anyone's league including All Might in his prime."

"She did not use any government violence," said Toya looking at his hands. "May have driven me crazy in the dream, but nothing to truly hurt me." He smiled a bit, the last person she technically said goodbye to was him. The last person she kissed was him.

"Getting ghosts to possess us and trap us individually in our own dreams, including the master," noted Shigaraki with a smile. "Eva, truly is quite powerful, beyond our comprehension."

"Yeah," Toya agreed putting his arms behind his head. "Didn't help she has us both wrapped around her finger." They both turned red at that acknowledgment. "I wouldn't have it any other way." Shigaraki nodded in agreement.

"I'm glad she escaped." Toya looked up at him. "There have been clues that the Master was planning to kill her in the end even though we wanted to move her to that place." Shigaraki looked over the flower crowns. Shigaraki was rather in awe than anger with how Eva decided to escape.

"I miss her already," said Toya lying back. He wasn't mad either, he was more thrilled getting to experience more magic even if it was used on him. He just wished he was given more time to hug and kiss her. He looked at Shigaraki, he could tell Shigaraki was feeling the same way. They had both fallen in love.
