You blink, setting down the rescue you had and looking up at the last stadium just as the memories rush you. "Thanks Midnight." You breathe straightening up and looking at the others as they all pause.

           "Okay. I hate that but, it's very effective." Akaashi breathes nodding.

           "What the fuck just happened?" Daishou asks.

           "We're back before the final stage." You tell him. "I had a feeling Midnight was there so… We asked him to send us back." 

           "It didn't look like we had a choice there…" Atsumu frowns and an alarm sounds, Hibarida soon comes out of the stadium.

           "The tournament has been cancelled. There's an unknown threat in the stadium and… I'm not sure what just happened… Maybe a premonition… But I think the tournament is no longer safe." He tells the group, seeming confused and uneasy.

           "It's not." You assure as you think quietly. You wanted to leave it there and run from it. "What unknown threat?" You ask him. 

           "A black rip above the platform." He tells you.

           "It's still there?" You huff in surprise.

           "Yes… And it seems to have it's own gravitational pull." He informs them.

            "Oh… Great. Sounds like we made a fucking black hole in the stadium!" You kick the ground as you turn away. "What's next huh? My dad was a super villain and my mom's actually a cat?" You laugh slightly over to one of the city buildings and start to kick it.

           "... ___?” Akaashi calls to you.

           "And while we're at it, how about dropping the entire national bank on my head!? Take me out in style." You ramble.

          "What? No. ___.” Atsumu calls to you as the blue team joins up. 

          "What's going on?" Oikawa asks, all of them now watching you kick a building and ramble to yourself. 

          "Um… There may be a small blackhole in the stadium and ___ seems to have lost it." Nishinoya answers.

          "And what was his problem anyway? Why attack? What the fuck did I do now? Why can't we have a normal fucking event without things going to shit because of me?!" 

          "The camping trip wasn't your fault ___.”  Ryuu calls to you but you just keep rambling.

          "... I'm getting worried." Bokuto frowns.

          "I'll do something." Kiyoomi approaches you carefully.

          "I can't do anything. Why do I even have arms? What good are you?" You look at them, raising them up. Kiyoomi calmly takes your arms and wraps them around himself before hugging you close. You pause instinctively hugging him back.

          "Calm down. We avoided it." He murmurs rubbing your back.

          "No. How can I calm down!?" You pull away, backing up from him. "He has burst too!" You point out. "We all know how dangerous that is! And he attacked me! How am I supposed to protect you all from that?! We made a freaking rip in space and all we did was stand there until Midnight set us back!" 

          "___, calm down we can figure something out." He tells you softly.

          "No… I'm… I…" You rub your face, tearing up. "What if he takes you guys away? I could barely keep my mind when Tendo went missing… I'm scared. I don't want anything to happen to you…" 

          Kiyoomi reaches for you but, the reality of everything you said was haunting him now. It was haunting everyone actually. You sink to your knees rocking slightly and starting to ramble again. Kiyoomi watches you before kneeling down and pulling your hands from your face, making you look at him.

          "I'm scared too. But you have what he doesn't. You have us. And we can stop him." He whispers, cupping your cheek. "So get your head back on. The world's not ending today." 

          "Okay…" You nod, relaxing. Hibarida's phone goes off and you look over as he answers it.

         "Melody? Yes… Yes… There's a bit of a…" He turns away from everyone as he explains everything to your mom. He soon straightens up, shoulders starting to relax. "Alright… Thank you, I'll come get you shortly." 

          "She's coming here?" You ask uneasily.

          "She said she can repair it." He responds and you blink. 

          ".... Dammit! I'm going to have to ask but I don't want to know!" You cover your eyes.

          "___'s snapping again." Daishou frowns. 

          "___!” Tendo's voice makes you look over as he leaves the stadium and hugs you. "Are you okay?" He asks and you blink a few times.

          "I'm… I'm worried." You lean your head into his chest. "I have too many questions but I don't know if I want them answered." 

          "... I'll go with you. You're going to see your mom right?" He asks lightly. You stiffen slightly, gripping his shirt. "Nothing bad is going to happen this time… It'll be fine." 

           'You already looked ahead after sending us back?' You think peering up into his eyes, finding one of his irises bluish. "Don't overdo it. Just stay by my side so I can protect you." You murmur reaching up and touching his cheek. His eyes widen slightly, blushing lightly.

          "I um.. I'll be fine. Don't worry about me." He assures softly. You frown unhappily and smack your forehead to his chest. "Oof… Okay okay I get it."

          "Maybe you should've been looking into the future today huh?" Atsumu comments.

          "Yeah. Figures… The one time I wanna focus on the present is when something like this happens." Tendo smiles bitterly.

           "Everyone is being evacuated now. You all should join with your classmates and head home." Hibarida tells everyone.

           "Right… You're staying ___?" Oikawa guesses.

           "Yeah. I'll come back with Tendo." You nod.

           "Here. Just in case." Kiyoomi passes you a canister.

           "Take this too." Akaashi comes over, handing you a hand grenade. You and Tendo blink at that one, Tendo carefully putting it in his pocket. 

            "How sweet, cautious, and slightly dangerous of you…" Tendo smiles lightly.

            "Contact us once you're on your way back…" Oikawa says, taking the lead back to the buses with everyone. Daishou hesitates and you meet his gaze before offering a nod, holding out a fist. He nods, returning the gesture before going on. With that Hibarida hurries to escort your mom from her hiding place to the stadium, leaving you and Tendo to wait alone.

           "Let's go wait in the stadium." Tendo smiles guiding you inside. You stop, looking at the tear quietly. It did feel like it was pulling on you but it was far too weak to do any damage.

           "Midnight said it before. That my quirk is related to space. But I didn't think it was true until today…" You murmur. He peers at your face as you frown softly. "Everytime I think I have everything sorted out this happens… Am I cursed? Like… Why can't I just have a whole month without this happening?" Your shoulders slump and your eyes trailing down to your feet. "I'm tired. And I want to run away." 

          "If that's what you really want. I'll take you wherever you want to go." He says, looking at the rip. You blink and look over at the calm expression on his face. "But you won't be satisfied after a while. You'll regret walking away. You'll always wonder what you could've done differently." 

         "Tendo…" You start with a frown.

         "So don't give up now. I'm not sure when but I'll help you make sure it gets better." He tells you. "I'll do everything in my power to make sure--" You pull his collar down and capture his lips to silence him. 

          "Just stay with me and I'll be fine." You whisper. He swallows and pulls you into himself, holding you tightly. 

          "Be careful doing that ___, I'm restraining myself here…" He grumbles into your shoulder. 

          "Sorry… I missed you like crazy this past week… I'm just making up for it." You hold him even tighter. 

           "... Don't ever apologize for kissing me. Ever… Because I love your kisses so much." He murmurs. You chuckle at that smiling a bit. 

          "You know… I'm super indebted to Midnight now. What the hell should I do about that?" You inquire in thought. You look at the wall, leaning into him thoughtfully. 

          "Hmm… Depends on what he wants right?" Tendo tilts his head against yours.

          "What if he said he wanted to marry me?" You ask. 

          "That… Would be entirely up to you…" He murmurs. 

          "You don't want to marry me now, Satori?" You pull back with a head tilt, pulling your necklace out from under your suit and fiddling with the ring. 

          "I-I didn't say that." He objects with a blush. "Why are you teasing me right now?" 

          "Because you're really expressive today. And blushing a lot." You smile sweetly.

          "What a bully…" He pouts at you. You smile and cup his face, thumbs rubbing his cheeks thoughtfully. He meets your gaze, staying quiet as he watches you. 

          "I still want to bite the hell out of you though. I was so damn worried about you." You growl.

          "Please have mercy my dearest." He says swiftly.

          "I'm trying to… So when did you wake up?" You ask.

          "This morning."

          "And you came straight here?"

          "Mhm. After showering." 

          "So you only ate junk food from here today?"

          "... Yes."

          "We should take my mom out to eat after this. Maybe I'll feel like asking those questions after I eat."

          "Where do you want to take her?" 

          "I dunno. I don't even know what she likes… We'll probably have to bring Hibarida along too… Though I don't know why she would still need an escort if Dagger is gone…" You say pulling away in thought. He blinks and hums.

          "They are? What happened to them?" He asks.

         "They met… A sudden and unfortunate end…" You look away at that. "But I don't really care. They got what was coming to them." 

         "That so…" He smiles softly before kissing your cheek. You blink and peer at him before resting your head on his shoulder.

         "Mhm."

         About that time, Hibarida returns with your mom and you both walk over to greet her as she makes her way to the rip. "Hey you two! ___ I was watching on TV and you were amazing!" She gushes happily reaching for the tear and making it seal up, the odd pulling air ceasing at that. "There we go."

         "You really repaired it? Just like that?" You say in amazement.

         "Mhm. That's my quirk. I used to be a healer hero when I met your father." She leans over looking down at you from the platform and pointing to herself. "That day his quirk got to him and he started to fall apart but I was able to save him." She grins. "The look on his face when he did just told me he fell for me then." 

          "Could he not repair himself?" You tilt your head.

          "No. That's why he avoided bursting large objects, if he came undone that would be it for him." She shakes her head.

          "___…" Tendo blinks before peering at you as you look at your left hand.

          "Yeah… I have two quirks…" You breathe. 

          "Hm?" Your mom tilts her head in confusion.

          "Hey Hibarida, is it okay for us to take mom out to eat? Tendo just woke up this morning so he really should get a good meal soon." You ask, changing the subject as another army of questions invade your mind. 'Not now.'

           "Of course. It's good to see you alive and well Tendo. ___ was pretty cold to me the last time we spoke." Hibarida pats his head.

           "What? Not ___.” Tendo gasps hugging you. "Not my sweet ___.” He cuddles you happily. Hibarida and your mom laugh in amusement at that.

           "So you want to take me out to eat? I'm so happy." Your mom smiles widely. "Where are we going?"

            "No idea." You and Tendo respond. 

            "Tell us what you like." You request.

            "We'll take you there." Tendo adds.

            "Aw… It's cute that you finish each other's sentences." She smiles. "Oh! Can we get ramen?" 

            "Of course." Tendo chuckles. "I know just the place… You coming Hibarida?" 

            "I must for the time being." The pro responds. 

            "Thanks for watching out for her. I'm really glad you're the one doing it." You hum as Tendo takes one of your hands and leads the way.

           "Well I figured this would be one way to repay you." Hibarida says.

           "Still, it's a lot of worry off my mind." You hum peering at her as she pats Tendo's head, talking to him cheerfully. 

           "I'm so glad to see you again Tendo. We were so worried when we got separated and all ___ could think about was getting back to you." She says lightly. Tendo gives your hand a light squeeze at that.

           "I'm sorry for worrying you both." He responds looking down. "But I didn't see a better route." 

           You watch him quietly for a moment, wondering how to change the subject to make him feel better. "Even though you had me worried. You made the right choice." You tell him and he peers at you. "Do it again and I will bite you though."

           "Ah you're using that threat a lot are you going to go cannibal on me…?" He looks away, seeming a bit nervous.

           "Mmm grilled Tendo…" You hum.

           "Melody..." Tendo sends her a frown, making her and Hibarida laugh.

           "___ don't threaten him." She says in amusement.

           "Don't eat him either. That's against the law." Hibarida chuckles.

           "Fine fine…" You smile kissing the back of Tendo's hand. "I'll just bite him then." You murmur opening your mouth to do so but he swiftly takes his hand away.

           "I'm about to feed you! Hold on a little longer." He breathes, raising an eyebrow as his lips pull up, looking at you with some amusement. 

           You soon reach the place Tendo had mentioned, all sitting in a booth together. You and Tendo on one side with them on the other. After ordering you decide to start asking questions.

          "I have a brother?" You ask her.

          "... Not by me." She says lightly. "A year or two before we got together and I became pregnant with you, your dad had a girlfriend that got pregnant by him too. She was an awful woman, demanding nothing more than money and wouldn't let him see Kage after they broke up. He tried so many times, but once she cleaned him of money, she suddenly admitted to selling Kage to some organization… He searched everywhere, and that's how he came to join Dagger… We thought Claw had bought him since Burst and Splat were deemed highly dangerous quirks.." She trails off briefly, eyes flickering in thought.

            "Then when I got pregnant with you and he just… Wanted to do everything right by you and protect you. That's why he made me promise that if by some chance your quirk was the thing that took him away, I would separate you from me so they couldn't find you." She tears up slightly for a moment. "And suddenly that threat is gone. Fate sure works mysteriously." She sniffs.

            "What do you mean Dagger's gone? I haven't seen any news or papers on it." You tilt your head.

           "It's under investigation. So we haven't informed the public. But I figured your mother would like to know." Hibarida scratches his cheek.

           "I see." You nod before looking at your mom as the bowls are brought in. So no one knew your brother. He seemed to have some misunderstanding about your dad too. It all felt messy, and you still had no idea what to do about the new threat. 

          "___, eat." Tendo pokes your cheek to draw you out of your thoughts. 

          "Right." You hum starting to eat. 

          "So is that snake guy from the other school your friend? You were working really well together." Your mom asks.

           "Yeah. I met him before our plane crashed and we spent some time on a deserted island together with the other survivors." You beam, making her choke slightly.

           "You were in a plane crash!?" She gasps.

           "Yeah that's how I met Mr. Hibarida too… You didn't tell her?" You look at the man.

           "I wasn't sure if I should. But I'll fill in the blanks later." He responds.

           "Okay. Anyway his name is Daishou and he's going to be my future boss, we decided that back on the island." You grin. "Oh. We were supposed to start renovations for the agency after the tournament… Is it really cancelled?" You ask Hibarida.

            "Yes. For the time being. If anything it might be a month or two before we host another one. Until we find the threat it's not safe." He points out. 

           "Right…" You look down at your bowl. 

           "___, I know you're worried but please leave this to the pros." Hibarida tells you.

           "Then I'll tell you my quirk's weaknesses. But hear me now Hibarida. If he comes to threaten the ones I care about. Blood or not. I will deal with him." You vow, meeting his gaze.

           "You're definitely Kieru's child." Your mom breathes as Hibarida straightens.

           "I understand." Hibarida nods with a small frown. Tendo places a hand on your knee as if to tell you to pull back a bit. 

           "Sorry… I just refuse to lose any of them." You sigh looking away as you place a hand over Tendo's. "No more close calls…"

           "I understand." He repeats with a nod. The conversation sort of dies there. But your mom kept asking you about school and your friends so it's not like things went totally silent. After you finish eating and chatting, you say goodbye to them and head off for Raizu with Tendo.

           "Still more questions?" Tendo guesses.

           "More like frustration… How did I not notice sooner I had another quirk? Why is my brother a frickin mystery?.. What are we going to do if he attacks again?" You drop your head and groan quietly.

           "One at a time ___.” He pats your back before bringing you into his side. "But just so you know the current future looks peaceful for the rest of the night." He informs.

           "Good. I'm too stressed to worry about more bullshit tonight." You hug his side. "I don't even know where we are right now." 

           "Approximately an hour away from Raizu. We're going to have to take a train or walk for like two hours." He tells you.

          "I wouldn't mind a two hour walk with you." You admit quietly. He blinks and peers at you before kissing your cheek.

          "Then let's do that." He rumbles. 

          "Okay…" You smile. 

          "So what did you do while I was away?" He inquires.

           "Well… At first I searched for you every moment I could. The guys were worried since I kinda… Stopped eating. Then once some pieces started to come together I went to see Kita and got this." You look at the ring thoughtfully. "I love it by the way…"

           "I'm glad." He smiles.

           "Then I decided to go look for Death since he's the last one that saw you, so I went to Nohebi and teamed up with him to go ask the villains where he might be. The boss gave me a rough location and invited me to join his group, even though I might have… Killed one of his guys for messing with me." You press your fingertips together quietly.

            "You did?" His eyebrows raise at that.

            "Yeah. I… I was not in a good place then." You breathe. "But it was late then so Daishou had me spend the night with him at the agency. Then in the afternoon he had to go escort Mika so I went to look for Death in Johzen. The bartender there said he was in trouble so I had to go find him at some warehouse… And when I was looking through the windows I heard them talking about selling Death and Midnight… Think I blacked out for a moment and when I came to the building and everyone in it except for Death was gone… He looked a bit worried but… I was fine.." You rub your cheek. "But he didn't have any answers either so I had to keep looking." You shrug and decide to leave it there. Death could fill in the blanks for him later.

              "Sounds like you had one hell of a week." He breathes frowning lightly. "Sounds like you weren't yourself."

              "I wasn't. I just didn't feel like caring about anything else…" You frown looking ahead. "So don't go again. I don't care what kinds of things you hide from me. Just… Stay with me." He stops and you peer at him as he leans over and kisses you deeply. You hum, kissing him back and he brings you closer holding you tightly. 

            After a few moments he pulls back, looking into your eyes. "Alright I get it… I love you too." He whispers nuzzling your cheek. "You're all I have and am… I'll go to war with the world if it would make you happy. Break every rule there is to see you smile. I'll do anything for you." He rubs your sides softly. You blink and smile slightly, turning your head and kissing him again.

           "I don't deserve you." You whisper. 

           "Well I'm here. And I'm all yours." He breathes. You smile more, searching his face.

           "We should keep moving. They'll worry if I take too long." You say, sending Oikawa a message. 

           "Yep… So stop distracting me." 

           "Me? You're the one that suddenly stopped to kiss me."

           "Cause you were being sweet and cute. What? Am I not supposed to want to kiss you when you're always like that?"

           "I was being honest. Nothing more."

           "You were being cute. You've been rather demanding today with your kisses too."

           "Really? That's your fault."

           "Heh… I don't mind it. This was a good day for me. I'm sorry it was a stressful one for you." He looks down. You blink and hum in thought.

           "Excluding the part involving my brother, today was pretty nice… I got you back after all." You hug his arm. "That's more than enough for me." He smiles and gives you a kiss. "Don't get us distracted again."

           "I can't help that." He chuckles. "I wanna cuddle. We should've taken the train." 

           "... I wish you had thought of that sooner." 

           "Ah well, I do get you all to myself for now."

           "Let's race." You say suddenly.

           "Huh?" He blinks and you chuckle, running ahead of him.

           "Can't catch me Satori!" You laugh. 

           "Oh let's bet on that." He chuckles, swiftly catching up to you. He reaches for you but you swiftly evade him, playfully pushing him and keeping out of his range. He smirks suddenly moving in front of you and making you run into his arms. "Got you." He chuckles, kissing you deeply.

          "Mmm… You used to never be able to catch me." You murmur.

           "I had to get faster to change that." He murmurs. 

           "I see." You smile at each other. "Come on. You're distracting me again. I'll never get back  to the dorms at this point." You try to pull away but he pulls you back in. 

          "Ah the day's still young. What's the rush? Let me love you." He kisses your cheek.

          "You're going to do that either way." You chuckle and he picks you up, continuing on carrying you and pressing more kisses to your skin. "Gah. Why are you carrying me?" 

          "So I can be distracted by you and still make it to the dorms." He chuckles. You smile and kiss him, making him pause and slow down.

          "I love you. Thanks for coming back to me." Your murmur.

          "Thanks for waiting for me."
