Shinsou put a hand on her cheek and rubbed it affectionately.
"Kitty, you can't keep doing this. There's a line between working hard and killing yourself. I struggle to see it sometimes too, but we need to wear our glasses. You scared the hell out of me the other day, I thought I lost you."
Celeste looked at him and put her hand on top of his. He had lost so many people because of his quirk. People thought he was evil and villainous, with bad intentions. He had been hurt by her carelessness. A small tear went down her cheek and she threw herself forward, toppling the boy over onto the mattress. Avoiding her horns, Shinsou wrapped his arms around her torso in a hug, careful of the wings on her back.
"I'm sorry for scaring you Toshi. I promise I'll try not to do it again."
"Alright Kitty...why don't we get you some food? I'm pretty sure Bakugou made croissants."
He laughed when she perked up immediately at the sound of their blonde friends baking. She skipped out of her room, tugging the taller boy by the sleeve and into the common room a few floor below them. A hush fell over the room as they entered and Mina was the first to break it.
"CELESTE!" She cried, launching herself onto the hybrid girl. Celeste dodged and grabbed her by the waist so she wouldn't fall.
"Hey Mina I-" she was cut off from her friends checkin by her phone ringing. It was their homeroom teacher. "Mr.Aizawa? Hi I- WHAT?! Why didn't he- I'm on my way."
The room turned from joy into alarm from her phone call. Shinsou did a quick double take when he saw multiple people missing due to their internships. Granted they all returned to sleep on the dorms and it was late, but it was odd to have so much of the class missing.
"What's wrong?" He asked Celeste, who was running back to her room, followed closely by Denki and Mina. She was stopped when a thin sheet of metal closed in front of the elevator. The dorms were on lockdown.
"There's a Nomu attack on the Island, my uncle's been injured, I need to go!"
"What's going on?"
"Island?"
"The f is a Nomu?"
Celeste looked like a panicked bird, pacing around the locked down room. Shinsou grabbed her wrist and looked at her heterochromic eyes to reassure her.
"It'll be okay. Do you need to go?"
She nodded her head in urgency, biting her lip.
"I'll go with you." He turned back to their classmates as he started to pull her along to the large common room balcony. "Kaminari, tell Aizawa we went to deal with a family emergency."
"Ok but, where are you going?" He called after the pair as they exited to the balcony and stood on the rail.
"The Bermuda triangle." Celeste replied, taking Shinsou's hand and snapping her fingers. A rift in the ground below them opened and they jumped off the railing into it.
