A/N: Everyone liked how Denki got along with the inmates, and I kind of commandeered the idea from the Mentalist. If you haven't watched that show, it's so good, and the main character is SO charismatic. How he is with inmates every time he gets arrested is exactly how I pictured Denki would be!
Toga, looking, sounding, and acting exactly like Denki, took a running leap at Hitoshi and Neito, who caught her easily.
"I knew you guys would know it's me!" she said in Denki's voice. "I can always count on you!"
"Yeah, yeah," Neito said, flashing Toga a small smile as he wandered off to let the other heroes know that they were taking their boyfriend home.
Hitoshi made a show of checking Toga over.
Toga's breath caught in her throat when she realized it wasn't an act, when she realized that he was genuinely concerned for her wellbeing, when she realized that the smile he beamed her way wasn't forced in the slightest. He was truly relieved that she was okay, even when it was his soulmate who was taken in her stead.
When the tears flowed over, Hitoshi asked, "what's wrong?" and everyone within earshot looked in their direction.
"I just love you both so much," Toga declared loudly before flinging herself forward to once again be wrapped in Hitoshi's arms.
The other heroes laughed and went back to what they were doing, beginning clean up or starting on their required paperwork mostly. Neito made his way back over after getting the all-clear to take their worn-out boyfriend back home, 'his' emotional outburst just then more than proving that he had been through more than enough to justify missing out on clean up duty. (Especially because they had only destroyed a single wall instead of sending the whole building crashing down, thank you very much.)
"Calm down, peacemaker," Hitoshi murmured as he tightened his hold on her, helping to ground her. "We've got you."
And there it was. Total confirmation that they knew she was Toga. If she wasn't completely sure before, she knew then.
"I'm so sorry!" she practically wailed once they were finally alone.
Neito shot her an incredulous look. "Uh... For what?"
"Don't act oblivious, Nei," Hitoshi admonished, schooling his face as to not give away his intentions. "She's obviously sorry that she hasn't come to visit us sooner."
Neito snapped his fingers and nodded in quick agreement. "Right, right. You should have, you know. But, luckily for you, we're pretty forgiving people."
"What—no! You just found out that you're all soulmates, and he went and sacrificed himself for me, and then you both just played along! I owe you all so much! Big time! Huge!" Toga continued, getting louder and faster in her anxiety.
"Maybe you should let the League know that you're fine before they attempt to storm Tartarus," Hitoshi offered as a distraction, tossing her Denki's phone.
She caught it, pausing in her rant to look between the two. "You should hate me, or at least be annoyed with me, I guess. It would suck if you hated me after what you just did."
"We don't hate you," Hitoshi reassured. "Now let's get everyone together so we can go over Denki's plan, yeah?"
"How did you know Denki told me a plan?" Toga asked.
"Denki always has a plan," Neito chirped. "We'll explain more once everyone's together."
When Toga texted simple coordinates to Kurogiri, and seconds later a portal opened up, Hitoshi and Neito shared a narrow-eyed glance.
