Chapter Text

Mawabi's smile spread across her face quickly as she flashed her shark teeth and her sea-green eyes shined with happiness. "Big Bro Izu!"

Izuku grunted as the small girl practically threw herself at him, and he had to quickly catch and pick her up. "Oh, careful there, Mawabi. I'm sore from training."

Mawabi gasped but made no move to get down. "Oh no. You should sit, and we can have tea and cookies and play games."

Toru and Mina both giggled and patted Mawabi's curly teal hair, and the girl gasped with joy as they all entered the orphanage and made their way to one of the lounges where Yasuda was sitting. "Oh, I see you brought me something interesting, Mawabi. Where'd you find these three?"

Mawabi grinned as she held Izuku. "They were at the front door. I didn't know they were coming."

Yasuda gasped in mock surprise. "Did I forget to tell you? I'm sorry, Mawabi."

"It's ok. I like surprises." the young girl said as she adjusted and sat in Izuku's lap once he was positioned on the couch. Toru and Mina said hello and sat down on either side of him.

Yasuda stood and stretched as she said. "You all relax; I'll be back with some tea and snacks. Mawabi set up a board game for us. Whatever you wanna play."

The small girl snapped a salute and hopped out of Izuku's lap before running over to the bookshelf full of board games. Izuku and his girlfriends watched with small smiles as the girl weighed her options and asked what they liked to play.

Yasuda returned as the others started setting up a game of Life. As they sat around and played, Mawabi told Izuku and the others about her new foster parents and how nice they were. Izuku, Mina, and Toru told stories about their time at UA and what their internships were like.

Mawabi shared various stories and, at one point, ran off to her room to grab a bunch of drawings she had made. The three young adults looked over her art and praised the young girl. Izuku asked to keep one of the various drawings Mawabi had made of him and his girlfriends.

The young girl was ecstatic and quickly pulled out the one she considered the best and handed it over to him before continuing to show off the rest of her works. After a couple more hours of spending time with Yasuda and Mawabi, Izuku, Mina and Toru had to head back to UA and get ready for the summer camp that was coming up.

Mawabi hugged Izuku tight as tears pooled in her eyes. "I don't want you to go! I want my big brother to stay longer."

Izuku smiled and knelt down as he pulled a piece of paper from his pocket. It was a little hard to do since Mawabi refused to let him go, but he managed to hold the folded paper up in front of her. "Here. This is Mina, Toru, and my phone numbers. If you ever need anything, call us, and once you're all settled into your new home, tell your parents about us, and we'll come to see you whenever we can."

Mawabi sniffled and held Izuku tighter. "Promise."

Izuku grinned as she took the paper. "Promise. You're my little sister; I'll do anything for you. Have a good life with your new parents Mawabi and I'll see you later."

Mawabi cried and held Izuku tighter as Mina and Toru both joined the hug. Once the young girl was settled down, she said bye to her big brother and his partners, and they promised to see her again as soon as possible.

'This isn't right. Why am I acting like this? I haven't been like this in years.'  Himiko thought as she giggled and skipped down the back streets. She had just finished a meeting with the other League of Villains members and was heading home, but it wasn't actually home. Himiko stopped skipping as a sharp pain stabbed just behind her eyes. She shook her head and muttered. "Gotta get home to Psion. She'll be so happy to hear about what the League is planning."

Himiko skipped quickly down the street before heading into a shoddy apartment building and heading up to the fifth floor. She pulled a key out of her cardigan pocket and opened the door as she said. "I'm home!"

Psion stepped out of the kitchenette in a long dark blue skirt, and a black sweater with her hair pulled up into a messy bun. Her eyes swirled as Himiko stared at her in awe. "Welcome home, Himiko. How was the time you spent with your friends?"

Himiko groaned as she closed the door and took her shoes off, and walked up to the woman. "It was super boring. They're all such sticks in the mud. I couldn't wait to get back home."

Himiko blushed a bit. "It's... a lot better here. I like it here with you."

Psion smiled as she held Himiko's gaze and brushed some of the blonde girl's hair out of her face. "I know, but remember, the longer you're with the League, the more time you can spend coming home to me. If we wrap up this mission too quickly, then you'll get snatched up by some other handler, and we won't get to see each other."

Himiko suppressed a shiver as any stray thoughts she had were washed away in a haze of joy. The idea of getting to come home and see Psion like this every day felt so lovely. "Promise?"

Psion giggled, and Himiko's heart fluttered as her memories grew hazy and distorted. "Of course, Himiko." the woman leaned in as she caressed Himiko's cheek. "I would never lie to you. You know that."

Himiko desperately wanted to lean forward and steal a kiss from the woman, but she couldn't. She was scared that if she pushed her luck, then Psion would push her away, and she'd have nothing. Himiko winced and missed Psion's frown as the blonde girl held her head. Images of people flashed in her head. A head of fluffy green hair, pink skin, and horns, floating clothes that changed into a splash of freckles with a pink and brown eye.

"Himiko." Psion's voice cut through the memories, and they were shoved deep down and replaced with images of Psion smiling and holding her gently as she saved Himiko from the torment she used to live in. "Himiko, come back to me."

Himiko let out a shuddering breath and grabbed Psion's sweater as tears pricked at the corners of her eyes. "P-Psion... please. I-"

Psion wrapped her arms around Himiko gently and whispered. "Don't worry, Himiko. I'm here. Come on, you're tired. Why don't you tell me what you did today, and we'll order some dinner and just relax."

Himiko looked up at the blonde woman's swirling eyes and felt relief wash over her. "C-can you stay close? Please."

Psion smiled and tightened her grip on Himiko. "Of course, dear. I'll never let you go."

Izuku yawned as he finished getting dressed in a pair of black cargo shorts with a dark green tank top and an unbuttoned gray and black plaid shirt over it. He grabbed his bag and headed downstairs to join his class, who were getting ready for the summer camp. It was around five in the morning, and most of Class A was half asleep, standing around waiting for their homeroom teacher to take them to the bus.

As Izuku stood there, he felt two heads plant themselves on his shoulders as his girlfriends groaned quietly. "I told you two to go to bed early."

Toru huffed and whispered. "It's hard to sleep without you two. Why did you say we should last night anyway?"

"Because we're gonna be in separate rooms during the trip, and we can't exactly sneak off to find somewhere else to sleep. Aizawa said we weren't supposed to wander around or anything, especially after curfew."

Mina sighed. "This sucks... hopefully we'll still be able to have some fun while we're there training."

Izuku nodded, and he watched as Momo raised her hand. "Alright, everyone. Do you have everything you need? Mr.Aizawa will be here in five minutes, so please double-check that you have everything. We all know how he is when it comes to wasting time."

The class gave some tired chuckles as they double-checked their bags, and a couple members ran back upstairs to get something they forgot. By the time Aizawa arrived, everyone was ready. Their teacher gave a simple grunt and motioned for them to follow him to the waiting bus.

As they loaded up, they saw their sister class getting onto the bus behind theirs. Itsuka apparently had already knocked Monoma out, and Awase had the boastful blonde welded to his back just in case he woke up. Class A chuckled a bit at the scene before getting on the bus and headed towards their summer training camp.

____________________________________________________________________

Mina hummed happily as she rested her head on Toru's shoulder. The invisible girl was squished between her partners in the back of the bus, somehow sound asleep. Izuku was sitting on Toru's other side, talking quietly to Momo about how well her new costume worked during the practical.

She smiled to herself as she closed her eyes and listened to the noise of the bus as everyone chatted about what they could possibly do during the camp and who would be helping teach them.

"Oh god, please let us get there soon. I gotta pee so bad." Minoru said as he fidgeted in his seat.

Denki snorted. "Told you to go before we left, man. Better hope they don't throw us to the wolves right away."

Hanta chuckled. "I'm sure they'll give us some time to set out bags down once we get there."

The bus started to slow and pull over. As it came to a stop, the class watched the class B bus continue on its way. The doors opened, and Aizawa stood up. "Alright, get off."

The class murmured to themselves and disembarked the bus. As they stepped onto the dirt viewing area looking over the forest, their confusion grew more as they noticed a black sedan but nothing else around. Minoru groaned. "Oh, come on. I can't take a piss here. Mr.Aizawa, why'd we stop here?"

Their teacher stayed silent as the doors of the sedan suddenly opened, and Izuku gasped a bit seeing Mandalay and Pixie-Bob of the Wild Wild Pussycats step out and give their introductions.

Mina giggled, seeing her boyfriend fanboy a bit. As Pixie-Bob shut him down before he could blurt out how long they had been operating, Mandalay walked up to Aizawa and said. "How's it going, Eraser?"

Aizawa grunted, and Mandalay rolled her eyes before grinning and saying quietly. "How's Joke doing?"

The Erasure hero huffed and turned away from her. "I'm not talking about it."

"That's fine. Joke already told me all about your conversation and how it went." Aizawa's eye twitched, and Mandalay clapped her hands together. "Alright, kittens, time for some training."

Class A flinched and looked at the Pros as they moved to stand between them and the bus. Aizawa grinned as Pixie-Bob licked her lips and crouched down. Their homeroom teacher's voice sent a shiver down their spine as he said. "It's time to go Plus Ultra. You have until twelve to get to the mountain lodge. If you don't arrive on time, you're shit out of luck when it comes to lunch."

"Rush them; they can't take us all!" Denki yelled, but he was wrong. Pixie-Bob was three steps ahead, her hands already touching the ground.

The ground lurched, and the cliffside tilted and folded in on itself as it threw the class down into the forest. Mandalay waved at them and shouted. "This is private property, so go nuts with your quirks, though do be careful this forest is full of all kinds of monsters."

Kota was not happy. It was bad enough that he had to live with his aunt and her crazy friends, but now the place he spends most of his summer days is going to be overrun with a bunch of hero wannabes. He clicked his tongue as he saw the punks staggering out of the woods as the heroes talked to them. Pixie-Bob was being weird like usual as she hit on some of the guys. Kota didn't notice the one pink girl clearly glaring while another one's body language spoke volumes as Pixie-Bob patted the green-haired guy's chest and whispered something to him that made him blush.

The green-haired guy noticed Kota and asked who he was. It was annoying having everyone look at him as Mandalay explained who he was. Kota grit his teeth as the guy approached and knelt just out of arm's reach of Kota. "Hi, I'm Izuku Midoriya. It's nice to meet you."

Kota felt a spark of anger rise up suddenly, and he lunged, throwing a punch straight for this hero wannabe's crotch. Izuku quickly backed up and avoided Kota's punch as he smiled easily. "Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you."

Kota stared at him, stunned before blushing as he saw everyone looking at him. Kota gave an angry huff and stomped off to his room as Mandalay apologized for his behavior.

Izuku frowned a bit as his girlfriends flanked him and Denki said. "He really went for the crotch shot."

Eijiro shook his head as the class moved towards the building. "Super unmanly. Though that was super cool how you avoided it, Midori."

Izuku hummed as they entered the dining hall. "Sometimes kids show up to the orphanage I grew up in, and they are angry like that. I liked to help out, so I learned how to avoid getting hit easily during first introductions with them."

Before their conversation could go on too long, Tiger and Ragdoll appeared on the other end of the dining hall with class B in tow. Ragdoll laughed. "Wow, you guys barely lost to class A."

The most chaotic member of the pussycats proceeded to slide up next to Monoma and poke him in the side with her elbow as she said. "Good thing they didn't hear that big speech you gave, huh, copykitten."

Monoma blushed furiously as he tried to maintain his usual smug persona as the emerald-haired hero teased him. he desperately wanted to bite back, but the last time he tried, she verbally destroyed him.

Tiger sighed and slung his teammate over his shoulder as he walked to join Pixie-Bob and Mandalay. Ragdoll struggled and whined the whole time until Tiger set her down and said. "Since it's your first day, we'll make dinner for you all. You just sit back and relax."

Both classes tensed as Tiger smiled. "Since tomorrow begins your journey through hell."

Notes:

I'm super annoyed by the ER at the hospital near my house.

on the 31st I took my girlfriend to the ER cause she was having abdominal pain on her right side. we got in checked in and got brought to a room and taken care of and sent home in a total of five hours which is pretty good. that was how long it took my ER visit earlier in the year.

the next day comes and my girlfriend's meds she got for nausea and pain weren't effective for her so she was doing worse and worse so I took her back. we got to the ER at 8 pm and didn't get into a room and see a doc until like 4 am all cause of some petty bullshit.

my dad is a nurse at the hospital and he came down to check on us after he finished work. he tried to ask the nurses about how things were going and if they could help my GF out because she was suffering from a lot of pain and nausea and they hadn't triaged her yet. they were rude and dismissive and then it felt pretty intentional that they made us wait hours while letting her sit there in pain.

little did they know my dad (and I'm not bragging here this literally happened the same day.) he got a written letter from the CEO of the hospital thanking him for all his hard work and attached was a letter from a patient to the CEO praising my dad so to try and help us get in sooner (It didn't help but still) he left and told the ER staff he would be coming back in the morning and going up the chain to let those in charge know how the intake staff at the ER treat people.

they double fucked up actually because my GF's mom also works for the same hospital pretty much. so both my dad and her mom complained up the chain about the ER. my dad actually wrote a two-page letter explaining what happened and what the person in charge of the ER said when he complained and how he felt about a nurse saying those things.

so yeah we entered the ER at 8 pm and didn't leave until 10 am. it took 14 hours to take care of something that should have taken at least 5. I'm super fucking tired and I have work tomorrow but I wanted this chapter done and posted so I can start working on the next one because I love writing and posting chapters because it feels like another step towards a finished product.
