Toga awoke with a start. 'Another nightmare.' She thought. She got up and dressed herself for the day. On her way down she saw Kurogiri sitting at the bar looking stressed. "Hey Kuro, everything ok...?" Toga asked. There was no answer. Toga had been having a rough week. They had a mission a few days ago, and she messed up. Twice ended up getting hurt and she blamed herself. "....ok well... I'm gonna go visit Twice in the infirmary." She said. As she started to walk away Kurogiri spoke. "He's not there Toga." Toga turned around. "Well where is he?" She asked
"In the backyard." Kurogiri replied. Toga smiled and headed for the back door. 'So he's awake! Im so hap-' Her smile faded and she fell to her knees. She had opened the door and just infront of her was a newly installed gravestone with 'Twice. A great villain and friend.' Engraved in it. She muffled a scream with her sleeve. Toga pulled out a vial of blood and drank it. She left out the gate disguised as a random civilian. She walked a few blocks and sat on an empty sidewalk curb. She began to cry. Her transformation wore off at the wrong moment. She didn't hear anyone coming and she was too upset to care. Hero in training Uravity rounded the corner. 'Toga?!?!and shes......crying?' Ochaco thought. Feeling a random burst of sympathy, she walked over to the villain. "Toga?" She said. Toga jumped. " Oh shit! " she fumbled for her needles, remembering she left them at the base. "Hey calm down! I don't want to fight." Ochaco said. "Well then what do you want..?" Toga stuttered. Ochaco sat down beside the Villain. "Are you ok?" She asked. Toga tried to maintain a straight face but she broke down in tears and started sobbing. " no I'm not ok! Its all my fault!" She cried as she buried her head in her hands. Ochaco was surprised. " do you want to tell me what happened?" She asked putting a hand on the Villain's shoulder. Toga flinched. "Why should I trust you hero?" Ochaco's eyes met Toga's. "I haven't called other heroes yet have I?" She said. Toga unburied her face and looked at Ochaco "I suppose not..." She said. "So tell me, what exactly is your fault?" Ochaco asked. Toga's lip trembled. "T-twice he-" she started to cry again. "Hey its ok Toga, He what?" Ochaco asked again. " HE'S DEAD AND ITS ALL MY FAULT!" Toga yelled. Ochaco let out a small gasp and gave into the urge to give her a hug. Toga didn't expect the kindness and cried into The hero's shoulder. "Toga I'm so sorry.." Ochaco said. "Its fine.. And thanks.." Toga said , releasing the hug. Ochaco's face fell. " so... Do you have to go now?" Toga smiled. "Nah.. I don't really want to go back." Before long the two had been talking for hours and it started to get dark out. "I should go.. You can't be seen with me..." Toga said. Ochaco got up. "Well, no one comes down this way so I think we're ok" she said. The two spent another hour talking and becoming closer. Ochaco got up. "Dorm curfew is almost up. I should get going." She said. Toga's face fell. " do you wanna meet back here tomorrow..?" Ochaco looked down, awaiting an answer. Toga brightened. "Same time??" She asked excitedly. "Yeah sure!" Ochaco replied. The two separated for the night and Toga went back to the league.
