The 2A and Next Gen students sat in the common room, just chatting when Aizawa walked over to where they were all sitting and watching TV.

"Hikori, Irei, Hanna, Eijitski and Shiro. Can I speak to you all quickly?"

The kids looked at each other and nodded.

"What do you need, grandpa?" Hikori asked, only for some of the 2A to stifle laughs.

"I'll ignore that name. Anyways, when we were in the support course, Eijitski mentioned something about your parents erasing your minds. Care to elaborate on that fact?"

"I have no say in this so keep me outta it!" Shiro protested,throwing up his hands, defensively.

"Fair enough. The rest of you, though need to explain."

They remained silent before Hikori spoke up.

"A villain attacked our preschool, more than once. And yes; all 4 of us went to the same preschool." Hikori began quietly.

"The first time we were attacked, I didn't have my quirk so the villain burnt me on my neck..." Irei added, pulling down his collar to show the scar.

"But the attacks never stopped." Eijitski continued. "The Villains attacked us because we were the kids of some of the greatest heroes."

"But that's when it all went down hill. After Kaminari's 4th birthday." Hanna replied.

"You all; Deku, Shoto, Ground Zero, Red Riot, Cellophane and Ingenium had a fight with my Papa and dad..." Hikori continued, on the verge of tears. "They- You all said my family was to dangerous to be around, all because Dad's dad attacked at one point. You all sad we were putting your kids in danger....! We went seperate ways but, with fury and fear taking hold, you all decided to erase those memories from our minds... To 'protect' us..."

"We... Did that...?" Deku said quietly.

The kids nodded, all of them on the verge of tears or already crying. Shinso wrapped Hikori into a comforting embrace as sobs racked his small frame.

Eijitski sat where she was, eyes down cast and avoiding eye contact, a trembling pout on her lips and tears streaming down her flushed cheeks. Kirishima placed a hand on her back and rubbed his hand in circles. Bakugo allowing her to put her head on his shoulder.
Hanna sobbed into Iida's chest while Sero hugged the duo from the left.
Todoroki and Deku trapped Irei into an embrace, too. Shiro stood there awkwardly; feet shifting on the floor. Uraraka stood up and gave him a hug, just because.

After they had all calmed down, Hikori pulled out his phone and saw a message from someone in their class; on their group chat. Ichika and Tori.
Ichika had bisexual colours on her face and Tori had the lesbian flag colours. They were giving each other a kiss while taking the selfie. With a smile he decided to show Hagakure and Ojiro.

"Hey, Ojiro? Hagakure?" Hikori said, pulling away from his papa.

"What's up, Hikori-kun?" Hagakure asked.

"Look." Hikori showed the 2A class the picture.

"Who's that?" Jiro asked.

"Ojiro Ichika and her girlfriend; Tori Tori."

"... She has a girlfriend...?!" Hagakure exclaimed, while Ojiro had a proud look on his face.

"Mhm...! They've been dating for a while, actually."

"They look really cute!" Mina exclaimed, flapping her hands with excitement and joy.

"Is anyone else in relationships?" Uraraka asked.

"Takami and Togata and... Adrien and Ren...from our class and Monoma and Katsuki from 1B. That's all we know at this point." Hikori replied, hesitant to mention Adrien and Ren in front of a still fragile and healing Hanna.

"Togata...?" Deku said suddenly. "That's Mirio-senpai's last name. And Takami is Hawks'. They're in a relationship? That's cool."

Suddenly, Hikori's phone started to ring. Accepting the call, he couldn't help but let tears flow from his eyes.

"Papa?! Dad?!" Hikori practically screamed. He got up and started to walk around. "Me, Kirishima, Iida, MT and our friend Shiro were all teleported into the past. Did sensei not mention that?...So she mentioned we were teleported but didn't know where?... Understandable... You don't know how much I miss you and Dad!... Yeah... This is your second year... Alright. Bye... I love you..."

Hikori then exited the call and turned back to his friends.

"So." He began. "Papa and Dad are going to try everything they can in our time to try and assist in getting us back home."

"Finally!" Eijitski groaned. "Even though I hate most of the extras in our class, I can't wait to see Papa and Daddy again!"

"I just can't wait to go home..." Hanna replied, Irei nodding in response. Shiro remained silent.

"You OK, Shiro?" Shoji asked.

"Y-yeah..." Shiro began but it was clear to everyone else that he wasn't.

"Talk to me, kid." Aizawa said softly, crouching to meet Shiro's level and placing a hand on his shoulder. "I'll try and help in anyway I can."

"I want to go home, yes but..." Shiro trailed off.

"But what?"

"... My mother's homophobic and she doesn't accept me for being trans! My brother is in college and I haven't seen him for ages! Sure everyone in our dorms are like family but for once I want my mother to actually show that she loves me! She was even mad at me for being 'addressed incorrectly' when I won our sports festival...! I just... Just want her to accept me and show that she actually loves me for me... She probably doesn't even care that I'm missing...!"

"Did that feel good?"

"That vent? Yeah... Yeah it did..."

"We're sorry you have to go through that, Shiro... But at least you have other people around you that love and appreciate you for being yourself." Ojiro smiled softly.

"Thanks..."

"I'm so tired..." Hikori said suddenly. "Like; really really tired."

"Me too..." Irei replied, Hanna and Eijitski nodding in agreement.

Aizawa then directed them all off to bed. Time had flown by as it was now 11:00 pm. Without a single word of protest, they all headed off to bed.
