Who on earth calls for a meeting without a plan?

Us heroes, apparently.

The atmosphere in the room is quite tense. Many pros mumble amongst themselves, wondering about the unknown. 

Phoenix keeps quiet, not knowing what to say. She's also rather irritated that she traveled to Japan from America for a mission with no plan. Who wouldn't be upset?

"ENOUGH!"

Ryukyu's angry yell silences the heroes in the room. The dragon hero sits again and nods to Centipeder, beckoning him to continue. Centipeder returns the gesture with a grateful nod before continuing. 

"The first thing we have to do is search for information," he explains as he holds up some folders, "these are lists of all possible sightings of the League, as well as anyone connected to the engineers from the project. I hope I can rely on all of you to help me gather information and face the League of Villains when the time comes."

The heroes all give determined nods of assurance to the Centipede-like man as he hands out the files. Once he finishes he returns to the front of the room and bows. 

"Please contact me when you find any useful information. Have a nice day." 

Everyone wishes each other a pleasant day before leaving the room. 

(y/n) decides that the first thing she wants to do is search for information. 

"Hey, (l/n), wait up!"

It seems that those plans just fell through. 

(y/n) turns around at the familiar yet foreign voice. 

Mina waves excitedly with Kirishima, Kaminari, and Sero in tow. 

"How can I help you Ashido?" (y/n) asks. Mina falters for a moment being called her last name, though she recovers quite quickly.

"You just got to Japan, right?" the Pink-haired woman questions, earning a nod from (y/n), "in that case, we should all hang out. What do you say?"

(y/n) mentally sighs but agrees anyway. She's still very tired but she is somewhat excited to see her home and former classmates once again. However she's running off of caffeine, so this will be a very bittersweet day for our protagonist. 

"First things first, I need coffee."

...

"YOU HAVE KIDS!!"

(y/n) winces at Kaminari and Ashido's high-pitched screams. Kirishima and Sero are both surprised, though they aren't as expressive about it, much to (y/n)'s relief.

"Yes, we do. Twins in fact. A boy and a girl," (y/n) explains calmly, taking a sip of her coffee. 

"Congratulations (l/n). oh, I guess it's Bakugo now." Sero says. (y/n) gives a quick thank you before being interrupted by an excited Mina.

"What are their names!?" she asks excitedly.

"Well, my daughter is named Aiko and my son is Hiro."

"That's adorable, I love them." the pinkette replies.

"Thank you," (y/n) responds, "Actually, Katsuki and I had a lot of trouble deciding on names. A coworker of mine named Leighanna suggested those names and we immediately loved them."

"I'm not surprised the two of you disagreed. Bakubro's never been very good with children." Kirishima says. 

"You'd be surprised," (y/n) explains, "he's a wonderful father and husband. He drives Hiro to his library club every Monday and Aiko to her Karate classes every Thursday. He makes it really special by buying the kids their favorite snacks after their extracurriculars."

"Aww, that's so sweet," 

"That doesn't sound like the Kacchan we knew at all," Kaminari says.

...

"WHO CALLED ME KACCHAN?!!"

"Daddy, no one but Hiro and I are here,"

...

"The shopping center sure has changed," (y/n) observes.

"Yeah," Sero replies, "a lot of stores went out of business."

"I noticed," (y/n) responds, "darn it, even that great food store is gone. It was cheap too."

"Really? I never visited it." Kirishima buts in.

"Mhm," (y/n) confirms, "that's where I used to do all my groceries while I was in UA."

"Neat..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"We lost Kaminari and Mina, didn't we?"

"Yes, Kirishima, we did."

...

(y/n) collapses onto her bed after a long day of spending time with her former classmates. The group is just as exhausting as they were when they attended class

Now that the day is finally over, she lays alone with her thoughts. 

I wanted to start searching for clues tonight, but I need to get some proper sleep. She thinks, Maybe I can look over the file for now and see what information I find, at least then I'll know where to look. 

(y/n) reaches for the file she put on the bedside table. She opens it up and immediately starts skimming the first page. She grabs a highlighter and immediately starts highlighting the most important information. 

"huh, the lab wasn't far from here," (y/n) mumbles, "I'll check it out tomorrow night then, so I can search it under the cover of night."

After highlighting a bit more information, (y/n) can no longer keep her eyes open. She passes out on the paper.
