I actually was going to divide this to three chapters, but I wanted it to be done quickly so yeah. Get ready for the longest chapter of this book yall!

..

Hiraku spent the whole plane ride watching comedy movies. It elevated her gloomy mood slightly, because now instead of being sad, she was just pissed off.

Why couldn't she just live a normal life? Did everything have to be so complicated? Why the hell did her healing quirk rely on her being happy!?

Hiraku grumbled profanities under her breath the whole ride towards the London Heroes Headquarters. No one even tried to talk to her, her dark aura was too terrifying for anyone to approach her.

Hiraku sighed and pouted as she looked out the window of the car. She needed to clear her head. She was on a dangerous mission and if she kept on thinking about Katsuki, she could get distracted and die.

She sighed again. She stared at the street outside, it was dawn and the streets were till empty.

When they reached the headquarters, Hiraku was greeted by the officers with glee. It was not everyday that they could meet one of the top heroes in Japan. She forced herself to act really happy being there, but on the inside all she wanted to do was go back to Japan and ask her boyfriend for his forgiveness.

'Oh my god! Am I still his girlfriend!?'

"Oye, Asra. What's got you so distracted?" Hiraku's train of thoughts were cut off by a female voice. "Or should I call you Hiraku now?"

"Ahhhh!!! Aiko-channnn!!!"

Hiraku did not even realize she had arrived at the woman's office. Nanami Aiko, better known by her hero name 'Target', was a tall woman who stood at 6'0 ft. She had short dark red hair paired with a set of emerald eyes. Her quirk was called 'Marksman', it allowed her to see any opening and weakness on anything.

A lot of people described the woman as incredibly stoic and cold, so imagine their shock when they found out she was close friends with the bubbly hero.

Target shook her head as the much shorter girl hugged her. She smiled softly before hugging the white-haired girl as well. They had not seen each other for more than a year, and her appearance was a bit different.

"Did you miss me that much, Asra-chan?" the older woman asked with a breathy laugh. Hiraku only nodded, her head still on the woman's chest. "Is something wrong? Do you have jet-lag?"

Hiraku gasped loudly as she pulled away from Target and exclaimed, "Oh my god! I can't believe I rode on a plane and a car!"

"Didn't you ride one on your way back home to Japan too?"

"That was different! I was asleep then!"

Target laughed again. Hiraku could only stare at her feet in horror, she could not believe how distracted she was that she did not even notice she rode a plane and a car. She needed to get her act together before something bad happens.

"Hey," Target called the girl. "Is something wrong?"

Hiraku turned to the woman, her lips trembling and her eyes watering, and said, "No."

The girl then burst into tears as she told the older woman everything. She told her about the kidnapping incident. She told her how guilty she was and how it was all her fault. She told her about Katsuki and how he probably despised her.

"I don't wanna lose him. He'd always been there for me. He always supported me. And I left him. I let Katsuki down. I can't lose him, Aiko-chan.. He's important to me. He made me feel like I wasn't alone. He took care of me, but didn't look at me like I was helpless. He looked at me and saw me. Not Asra, but me. And I let him down. Again.."
