[Opener: "Tiptoe"--half alive]

Shoto and Dabi had sat, though not too close, together after he came out.

"The girls aren't here?" Dabi noted flatly.

"They went for a walk and haven't come back," Shoto said. "But I think they're fine...just angry, is all."

He stared at his hand.

"Well, we blew it, big time," Dabi acknowledged, in the same flat tone. "I think we might really get the stick. We were in way over our heads back there. I feel pretty stupid."

"I didn't think they'd all be there," Shoto said.

"I hope you've worked out a pretty good excuse for it, because I got nothing," Dabi said.

Sakura had passed by Shoto before, but now she came out of the hall, with her hair up.

"What were you doing in here?" Dabi asked.

"I...I was just observing," Sakura said. She rubbed her stomach. "I didn't throw up, so..."

"Well, great for you," Dabi said sardonically.

Sakura frowned at him, but then she said, "What happened? How could you leave him?"

"Hey, buzz off." Dabi looked up. "It wasn't for lack of trying. We almost got killed for that prick, and he was doing jacks--- to stop it. I'm done trying to help him. Shine told him straight, if you ask me. He can expect frick all from us from here on out."

"Dabi," Shoto said warningly. "Shut up."

"Oh, what? You're not seriously thinking anything different," Dabi said.

"You're being a jerk," Shoto said. "She's worried about her friend. I'm sorry, Miss Sakura, but there was nothing we could do. We were outmatched."

Sakura sighed. "But your teacher could have... She didn't."

"I think I could say the same of your teacher. Why didn't she just do it herself?" Dabi said. "Maybe the simplest answer is: he doesn't want help. You'd better just move on and forget about him, Pink Hair, because he's a lost cause."

"He's not!" Sakura made a fist. "Don't say that! We'll find him after this. Naruto promised."

"Then he's as stupid as Sasuke is," Dabi said.

"Don't talk that way!" Sakura took a step toward him.

"That's enough." Shine startled them. They hadn't heard her open the door--they were too busy raising their voices.

Momo was behind her, looking grim.

Shoto felt nervous. Momo had never seen angry at him before... He wasn't sure he knew how to handle it.

Sakura looked at Shine bitterly. "You gave up." She pointed at her.

"I told you I've had enough of this," Shine said firmly. "I have business to discuss with my team. I'm sorry for your loss, Sakura, truly. But there is only so much we can do. You'll have to apply to your own village if you want people to use more drastic measures, but I still think it's a bad idea. Sasuke will never come back here until he's given up his stupid revenge quest. Now, please, stop yelling at my students. It is not their fault that he's gone."

Sakura lifted her fist. "Fine, I won't ask you for help," she said. "I don't like you, though. None of you. You could help and you just let them go."

"We never promised that it would happen--" Momo started to point out, but Sakura stalked out of the room.

"Grief brings out the worst in people sometimes," Shine said. "I wonder if in time she'll forgive us for letting them go."

"I wonder if Naruto will." Momo rubbed her arm. "I can't say I think we had a chance of pulling it off, but they had such high hopes. I feel awful for disappointing them."

"But it was out of our hands," Shine said. "I don't like it any more than you do, Momo, but it was reality."

She turned to the boys. "And we need to talk."

"I know what you're going to say." Dabi held up his hands. "It was stupid. It was reckless. I got it. We messed up."

That did not appease Shine.

"I don't believe you really do get it," she said.

"That line wasn't that effective on Sasuke. Do you really need to use it on us?" Dabi asked.

Shine's eyes snapped. "Touya, do you really want to push my buttons right now?"

Dabi flinched. "No...ma'am," he sputtered.

Shoto couldn't even find that last part funny; Shine was scaring him too.

"Good," Shine said.

She sat down across from him, and a few chairs from Shoto.

Momo sat at the end of the row, notably not next to Shoto, and put her hands in her lap.

Shine pressed her hands together and put them under her chin.

"Do you both know why we follow the Dj rules?" she asked, in a more even voice.

Dabi shrugged.

Shoto spoke. "So that we know what to do and can be safe...and not overstep our bounds."

"Yes, and why is it that overstepping bounds is such a bad thing?" Shine asked.

Shoto hesitated.

"Because we have too much sway over the world, if we do," Momo said. "We're privy to information they don't have, that we can use to help them, but if we get cocky, it might hurt them instead."

"That's part of it," Shine said. "You have to take your hands off the bike handles eventually. What happens to a child if you never let go of them?"

"They never learn to ride a bike?" Shoto said.

"Yes...anything that is micromanaged will never become an independent skill," Shine said. "For this reason God does not carry us all the way through every struggle in our lives. He left enemies in the Promised Land so the Israelites could learn to fight for themselves, so that they could be free. God could do it all for us if He wanted us to be babies, but love is purer when it's from free, mature people, so He takes the risk that we'll resent Him, in the hope that we will accept it and grow instead. In that way, we DJs imitate Him, as we do have more information than the people we're sent to...but we're not all-knowing, like God. The rules are to help us know when we can and cannot interfere."

She looked up more. "Now it comes to the point. Why do you think I decided to drop Sasuke's case?"

"He wasn't listening," Dabi said. "Okay, we get it. This feels pretty condescending."

"If you got it you'd not have done it," Shine said, sharply. "And if I'm condescending to you, it's only because your pride is so much that it's chapping your hide."

Dabi winced again.

"There were other considerations," Shine said. "The event forces of this world have patterns, like any world. Some events can be avoided with small changes in those patterns, like in that 'want of a horseshoe' metaphor. But other events are the accumulation of many different things coming together, and one random element would likely not stop them, only prolong the inevitable. The true skill of World Walking is spotting the time that's most likely to be able to break patterns. Usually we're sent to that time, so we have a clue, but we still must use our heads and our gift to see which person it is we're supposed to be helping. There are signs. One is willingness to at least listen, even if they don't agree. Another is a dissatisfaction with the way things are right now, or it may be a concern for someone else, and they might be seeking help on behalf of that person. It may just be they see that things are tending to a bad end and want to stop it themselves but don't know how. It may be all 4. I've seen those signs every time I was on a new world mission. In different orders and combinations, but they are always there. But they must also be in the right attitude. Someone who's disappointed with their life, but not willing to let anyone else speak to it, is not ready for us."

She gestured around. "We're a stone tossed into the pond. A sword against the forces of evil, and bright light in a deep darkness. We scare people, and we stir them up. The people who want to be stirred up are the ones who will be drawn to us. The others will be driven away. It has always been that way with change makers, and it always will be. Knowing this full well, I've learned not to waste my time chasing people who will not accept that. Even though they may have just as much heartache as other people, or more. But someone has to want to be helped. There is no way to change the truth."

Shoto and Dabi nodded, but so far this was less cutting than they had feared.

"Do you know what can happen when DJs do not follow the rules?" Shine's tone darkened very abruptly.

They tensed.

"They get sent home?" Dabi said.

Shine shook her head. "If only it was that simple. We're also free people, however. We'd like to think we couldn't step out of line. It'd be so much less hassle. But it's not true. There are those who abuse the ability to dimension travel. I've heard many stories of it, one most recently caught my attention because I'd met one of the people from that set of parallel dimensions. One of them learned how to access the multiverse there, all the mirrored realities that they could reach. He convinced others he could monitor all events in those worlds... The trouble there is you're playing God. You think you know best... It drives men mad, trying to do that, and they don't even notice it. The arrogance to think you know how any and all events should be handled in a world, that there can only be the outcomes you foresee from them..." She shook her head. "Then another problem is, with all that altering of their timeline, they've mucked it up so much, it'd be hard for anyone who really is there to help to get in. Last I heard, they were in a crisis over it. I hope it gets resolved, but it won't be by me."

"By you?" Momo said.

"I had thought at one point that might be one I was sent to," Shine said, "since I met the one guy... [This is referencing Worldcrossed, part one] But I couldn't get in now. Plans change, you know."

"Doesn't God know that they will, though? Why meet someone if you couldn't go?" Dabi objected.

"Because it may not stay that way, Touya. The door has to at least be left a little ajar, or maybe you at least have to see through the keyhole, so to speak, so that if there ever is a chance, you can take it," Shine said. "There are worse cases of interference. Ones where worlds were destroyed. I can't be sure all of them were true stories, but I know some of them must have been. All worlds die, sooner or later, but being the reason that one does, well, woe to that person."

She leaned back and clasped her hands around her knees, somberly.

Her words sunk in slowly.

"Do you mean that we could have--?" Shoto sputtered. "Just by going back for him?"

"Shoto, don't be a fool," Shine said, now angry. "What if Neji had died because you did that? Do you know what he could be a part of in the future? I don't, and neither should anyone else here. God knows, but not us. What if any of those kids had gotten killed who helped us go after you? What if Sasuke himself has only doubled down on his actions because of the pushback he got? And now he's been able to reject us twice over. That will harden his heart more. Choices have consequences, most of all on ourselves."

Shoto blinked at her.

"Now wait a minute," Dabi said. "They could have gone anyway, even to their deaths."

"Yes, death can happen at any time," Shine said. "There are risks. And I can't be sure what will happen if we're here. I don't know that information. I do know, however, that once you get a clear sign that someone is not going to be helped, the chances of death and other injury go up. Because the grace is not there. God may protect us out of love, but it won't be the same. And so it wasn't. You got poisoned. Neji got wounded again--thankfully not fatally, but, as he'd just gotten out of the hospital, one would think that he should avoid getting wounded."

Well, now it was cutting, but how could they argue?

"If it was that serious," Shoto said, now afraid enough to be cross, "why did you not explain that before we left? Why did you let us do anything here?"

"Because I'm also not your micro manager, am I?" Shine replied, severely. "I cannot control you anymore than I can control the other kids. Did you forget that I'm currently on assignment to your world? This all applies to you. I would not have put this burden of responsibility on you, since you're not likely to be full time DJs, and I thought it wasn't necessary. I had warned you that there would be danger in not sticking to the rules--I thought that was enough. Because I, unwisely it seems, trusted that you would obey me in these matters."

Shoto looked like he'd been slapped.

"We were going to obey you," Dabi said, "but it didn't seem right, to let this thing happen to someone. I know the rules are there for a reason, but I thought the rules of God would be not to let any kid go with someone like that man. You had to be wrong."

"If you think it bothered me less than you that we had to walk away, I think you don't know me as well as I thought you did," Shine retorted, sounding upset more and more. "It breaks my heart to see someone do this to themselves, especially a child. However, it would not bother me less to see any of you in danger, or those other kids, because of one person's refusal to care about the wise choice. There is time to set all else aside and go after one person, but that time is not when they turn their back on all attempts to reach them--and when they've been recruited by dangerous people with powers we didn't know about, who are a threat to the natives here as well as us. All those are factors. A strange world is no place to take unnecessary risks in. There are plenty of necessary ones."

She gripped the side of her chair.

"But on top of that," she said, "you lied to me and Momo. You deceived us. You knew we'd not allow you to go, but that does not justify it. I can't work with people I can't trust. I have not lied to you."

She then hugged her aside. "In fact, in including you in this mission, I've let you see a part of my life that none of my students have ever seen before. Granted, it was not my idea, but I was not unhappy with it. Still, if you did not go home safely to your world, what would I feel like? And how could I explain it to Aizawa? Or your parents? You risk your lives on a regular basis, and that's one thing, but when it's a truly bad idea? No, I can't allow that."

"It's just that you usually taught us to think of rebelling as something we should do sometimes," Shoto said.

"When you have to, Shoto, but if you can live in the order of a place, you should," Shine said. "Some order is better than none, even if it's not perfect. And no, I'm not perfect either. But working within our boundaries is far wiser than casting them aside. Our mistakes will be less grave inside the rules, even if they will not be non-existent. I trusted you to listen to me and that you would not go against me on this because it's your first time. Momo trusts you to be a good teammate for her and partner. You have broken both our trusts."

Shoto was stricken... He looked down.

Dabi couldn't even laugh this off, not after what she'd told them about the risks.

Shine glanced at Momo. "Do you want to add anything to this? You have the right to express your feelings about it."

Momo tugged her hair. "I don't want to make this worse. Truthfully, I agree with all you've said already. All I could have said was that I was so scared that something would go wrong, and I was scared for our new friends here as well as us. If we'd hurt them instead of helping them, I would have felt terrible. This is not just a small training mission--this is their lives. They're delicate and precious. I can't make light of it. And even if Sasuke had listened, Orochimaru might have shown up either way and killed him and you. You didn't seem to think of that."

"For the record, we didn't actually plan on fighting that guy. They got farther than we intended," Dabi said.

"And you did not come back at once?" Shine retorted. "What? Because you didn't want to admit it was no use? That was pride also... Pride has no place in DJ-ing, Touya. We have enough pride as it is. We have to guard against letting it grow because of this job."

"She's right," Shoto said to Dabi. "Arguing the point with her is only destroying whatever dignity you have left... We didn't think it through."

He looked up. "I'm sorry. I was stupid."

Shine softened a little. "I believe you, Shoto...but, it's not just me you've wronged, is it?"

"I'm also sorry to you, Momo," Shoto said.

Momo nodded but didn't quite accept.

"I didn't just mean her," Shine said. "Did you forget who actually sent you on this mission?"

She pointed to the ceiling.

Shoto looked up.

Oh...right...

"And there are consequences for breaking trust," Shine said. "I don't know if you will be allowed to do this again. Usually we come back to worlds; they aren't one hit and then we're gone. I don't think our work here is done, just on what we've seen. All I can do is ask and see what the answer is, and perhaps you should seek it yourself. But if you are permitted to come back, I can't have this happen again. I've already told Wally about it via letter, but he and I will talk it over thoroughly when we go back to your home and see how we feel. Frankly, the choice is not ours, but usually our instincts are correct."

Shine looked at Momo. "But you don't worry--you'll be spared the consequences of this, since you didn't do anything wrong. If you still want to join us."

Momo nodded again.

"So that's it? One mistake and we're done?" Dabi said. "I guess I see why it's a big deal, but...I thought there was mercy in this business."

"Mercy is not a business," Shine said. "And neither is World Walking. Even if you're only temping, so to speak, you still carry the mantle of our authority. You're not used to this, but you had better start taking it seriously, or, quite frankly, even if you were allowed to come, I can't see you doing much good. As an addition to all of this, you've embarrassed me in front of these students, and that has undermined our authority as a team. I hope they are smart enough to understand that these things happened and it won't break their trust in us, but they were only just starting to believe in what we said, and that is never the best time to break trust."

Shoto hung his head.

Shine sighed and rubbed her forehead. "I don't want to keep lecturing... There's nothing more I can say, I guess. At least not right now. I'm thankful that at least you're both alive and well after that."

"But we disappointed you, didn't we?" Shoto said.

Shine was quiet for a moment.

"I suppose the honest answer to that is yes and no," she said. "Yes, I'm disappointed that you didn't respect my authority or take all this into consideration... Now, despite that, I recognize that you meant well, however stupid it was. And you had the right reasons to care about Sasuke but the wrong approach. That is not an unpardonable error, but it's still a serious one. So we'll see. If this little talk has shown you clearly the mistake, I trust I will not have to repeat it, and we can put this behind us... I guess the rest is up to you. I'd like to end on a good note with these ninja if we can."

She stood up. "I'll be waiting outside."

She left the room.

Momo clasped her hands, and then she got up also.

"Shine is the sensei," she said to them, "and she knows fully the ins and outs of why what you did was wrong. All I have to be upset about personally is that you lied to me also. I could believe it of Dabi, but I didn't expect it from you, Shoto."

Dabi didn't even object; he knew him lying was far more in character.

Shoto shook his head.

"But I realize that I have done this before," Momo said, "with Bakugo... And maybe even then, it wasn't so very wrong to try... We weren't lying then, though, and it wasn't the fate of an entire world that could be in the balance, likely. And I think also that our new friends don't know the stakes and weren't as informed as we were about the risks, and we shouldn't have dragged them into this without them knowing that."

By them she meant Neji.

"I know you had good intentions," she added. "And...I'm proud of you for wanting to save people. But if we're not a team, and you don't trust me enough to tell me these things, or you know I would tell Shine and that is a problem for you, then I don't know that we should work together at all. I hope Shine is right and this was just a fluke, in that it was so horrible that we all weren't sure what to do, but...I'm going to need some time to think clearly about it, and I hope you'll excuse me for that."

She bowed, which made it worse, and walked out also.

"D---," Dabi said, after a long pause. "Both of them. I don't think I've ever felt more like a POS."

"How could we be so blind as to how bad what we did was?" Shoto said.

"We didn't know all that, but Shine's right--we should have been able to figure it out on our own," Dabi said. "I hate to say it, but the thick-headed gene seems to run in our family. But now that we know, I'm pretty much convinced I'll never disobey Shine ever again. I wouldn't dare to after hearing that. She's one good tactician if that was her goal."

"Do you think that she wanted to go over that? She seemed distressed that she had to play those cards," Shoto said. "We forced her to use that. We could have just listened to her gentle rebuke before and then we wouldn't have had such shame."

"Well, we didn't. Are you gonna whine about it or deal with it?" Dabi asked. "Far be it from me to be the mature one here, but I'm currently serving house arrest time (which was still a light sentence for what I've done) for pulling s--- like this at home. I mean...well, not the same s--- but serious crimes. I'm sure it's new to you to be the bad boy, but can't pin this one on Dad's influence, can you? See, you try too hard to be the hero and don't think."

"And what did you do?" Shoto asked.

"Well, I wasn't trying to be a hero," Dabi said. "I just got it into my head that, since I'm on this kick of making up for my past mistakes against humanity, I would catch this kid to stop him from doing the same thing I did...or letting that creep do it to him. But that's stupid. This kid doesn't know me, and I owe him nothing. He couldn't care less what I want or what I've been through or what I've paid for it. And some people are just like that. I'm getting a little too idealistic. I forgot that the important thing about this new faith isn't that it convinces people to listen to you, but that it makes you see yourself more clearly...and if that didn't happen for him, well, we had nothing. I didn't like that Shine went off on us, but I remember how she was with me. She didn't force me to do anything. I see why now. She knew what could happen if she did. I had to leave willingly. Maybe we deserved to get nearly killed for it."

"I don't know if I'd go that far," Shoto said. "We messed up, but at least we were trying to stop the evil. Nearly dying for that seems unfair."

"Fine, but we still let it happen to ourselves."

"Yes...I hate that I can't disagree with you about this."

"I hate that I'm guilty of doing the same thing as you for once," Dabi said. "It figures the thing we'd have in common would be our screwing ourselves."

"Shut up," Shoto said tersely. But then he sighed. "StilI, I'm no better. I'm not going to disobey Shine from here either...or lie anymore. I couldn't do it now... But it might not matter. The Chief, as Wally calls Him, may decide we've already ruined this too much for a second try."

"Well, I dunno why I was here at all," Dabi said. "And hey, what do I have to worry about? Not getting to do anything but sit around my house and watch the Animal Planet shows and cake decorating they let me access? Sure, this might have been my only chance to actually do anything meaningful while I'm scratching out my time, but hey, I'll live. At least I don't have to go back to those dorms and deal with this awkwardness in person. I don't envy you, Snowflake."

"Thanks, that really helped." Shoto was growing more and more sarcastic the longer he spent around his brother.

"Plus side: people already trust you more," Dabi shrugged. "I'm sure Princess will get over this...in a month or two maybe."

That did not make Shoto laugh.

* * *

Finally, the Todoroki brothers came out of the hospital.

The ninjas were talking with Shine and Momo.

No one had the courage to ask them how it went, but they saw in their faces it had been intense.

"So...you're going home soon, right?" Temari said.

"We may go tonight," Shine said. "At the latest tomorrow morning. We've been gone long enough to be pushing our luck."

"Will you be back?" Gaara asked.

"I would think so," Shine said. "I can't say when. It's usually weeks to months, or years occasionally. But I'll keep in touch. I'll write."

"I'll write letters too," Momo said. "If you need to know any more... Shine, can we give them some of the books?"

"Of course, if they want them," Shine said. "I always bring copies for at least 4 or 5 people."

"Oh really?" Kankuro said. "It was kind of interesting... Not sure I get it, but interesting."

"And you can ask me questions about that too," Shine said. "Here." Dhe took some things out of her bag and passed them around. "They have footnotes and things. Momo tells me they're good for beginners. I can't read that language very well, so I take her word for it."

"I find them very helpful," Momo affirmed.

"You're giving these to us?" Ino said.

"Yes," Shine said. "And the best part is, since you've never heard of it, I doubt it's contraband here. Sometimes you aren't so lucky."

They exchanged looks.

"That didn't make me feel better about it," Shikamaru said. "But I'll read it, out of courtesy, if nothing else."

"I have some other books too." Shine pulled them out. "Not as many copies of these but I can send more if you want, or you can share. They explain more of it in basic terms. Mere Christianity, Orthodoxy, Heretics, The Great Divorce--they're my staples for beginners. Don't expect to understand everything in them, but you'll get it more by and by."

The ninja eyed the books with great curiosity.

"These will help us learn more about your ways?" Gaara said.

"Yes," Shine said. "You made a great start, for so little time. I was surprised. But you've got to keep going. I expect you to know more when we return."

"Hey, I can handle some study," Temari said.

"What about Naruto?" Hinata asked.

"If he's interested, I'll be happy to send more," Shine said. "I'm...not sure when he'll forgive us though."

"He can't really think it was your fault," Temari said, incredulously. "We all saw what happened... Though those were some strong words you said to Uchiha--but nothing he didn't deserve after trying to do that."

"I meant those words," Shine said. "Don't let them ask us to come help him. It's not going to happen unless Sasuke changes his mind. But, if any of you need help, let us know. If we can come, we will, I promise that. But with Dabi, he does need to be at that home, so we'll have to be careful how we coordinate that."

"I guess we can get along without you," Kankuro said. "We did before, but I gotta say this has been one h--- of a last few days... Normal stuff is going to seem pretty tame by comparison."

Shoto and Dabi came out a few moments later.

Shoto glanced at the ninja. Then he cleared his throat. "I need to apologize to all of you, and I would to Neji too if he was here, but maybe you can pass it on to him if I don't get the chance: I was wrong to sneak away. It was dangerous and reckless. It wasn't right to do that to Shine or to Momo. And Shine knew better, and I didn't listen. So don't hold it against her."

Shine looked at him with surprise.

"Who said we did?" Temari said, almost laughing. "I knew it was your own dumb fault."

"Yes, I don't blame her at all," Gaara said.

"Duh," Dabi  said.

Shikamaru said nothing to argue with this.

"He just meant that you'd think she's a wimp," Dabi said.

"Uh...after what we saw earlier, I don't know who could say that," Ino said.

"Yeah, I think no one will ever believe me when I tell them," Hinata said.

"A word of caution about that," Shine said. "You can tell them all we did, but do not mention where we said we were from. You can't be sure who will find that out if you tell it recklessly, and I don't want ideas being put in people's heads. If we tell them ourselves it will be when we think they can handle it. Anything else you can share with them, however."

"Well, that's fair," Temari agreed.

Unexpectedly, a doorway opened suddenly in the shadow of the hospital, where not many people would have been able to see it from the street.

"Oh...is that for us?" Momo said.

"Who else would it be for?" Dabi said dryly.

"You're leaving?" Gaara had hoped, even after what they'd said, that they'd prolong their stay.

"I guess that was all we needed to say..." Shine said. "A bit abrupt, but I've had worse send offs... Yes, it's time for us to go. We'll be in touch, all right? Watch out for each other while we're gone... You're all part of this now, in some small way."

They nodded somberly.

"I know we just met, but I think I'll miss you," Momo said, sweetly. "I hope we'll visit again soon."

"Next time maybe under nicer circumstances though," Temari said lightly.

Some of them managed a laugh.

[Wouldn't count on that.]

"Thanks for everything again," Gaara said.

"Thank you for trusting us," Shine said, with a bow. "We should go."

Shoto and Dabi just nodded briefly, since they were embarrassed to say anything else.

They all stepped into the doorway, and it shut behind them.

The ninja looked at each other but all felt at once that it was overwhelming to keep talking about it right now, and they split off to go to their respective quarters.

* * *

On the other side of the door...

"Whoa!" Camie sprang off her seat. "What? Just like that? I thought you'd warn us or something."

Wally sprang up from where he'd been perusing the internet for information with them.

Bakugo dropped his phone.

"So what happened?" Wally asked Shine, hugging her. "Everything work out?"

"I think for now," Shine replied.

The look Bakugo gave Shoto and Dabi said that Wally, while he hadn't told them all of it, had clearly said they'd done something bad.

Camie didn't give them a look, but then, Camie never gave anyone judgmental looks.

"Yeah, it's not for everyone," Wally laughed. "But for those of us who it fits, it's a pretty good job."
