"Yes?... Right... Ok, I'm going to hung up now. Call me if you need something.", Ahmya hears her mother saying on the phone.

After the small confrontation with Midoriya, the group decided to go back to their hotels to try to rest and deal with the aftermath. Currently, everyone is reunited on the lobby of her uncle's hotel between waiting for the news, trying not to sleep or playing uno.

"So, what they said?", she hears her uncle asks.

"Looks like they are going to continue with the event but are going to begin the investigations. David Shield, the scientist behind it all, and his assistant are being accused of terrorism.", her mother says and her uncle hums in response.

"Well, they did put the entire island on risk.", says Laura, she was one of the ones who were playing uno.

"And things got interesting after the police and the reporters got a 'mysterious' recording where they confess that they did it to steal the device and run away, and specially, they were doing it because of All Might.", says her mother looking at her pointedly.

"'He' would have probably tried to save his friend of being accused, the fact that now the international press know is a bonus...", she says dozing off and waking up again while using Orpheus lap as a pillow..

"You should try to sleep.", he says.

"Can't... I'm still tense...", she answers trying to fight her sleepiness.

"That's what you get for making a djinn summon again. What you were doing there anyway?", says her mother which gets everyone's attention.

"He was the leader and I wanted to be there when he was executed.", she says in a serious manner that is scary.

"You know, you made us worried when you walked through that shadow portal.", says Void, she was playing uno too.

"We wondered what we would tell to your mother when she gets back.", says Hayao, he was with the waiting group.

"Do anyone feel like going to the event?", says Markus.

"Honestly? I just want to sleep the entire event and pretend that it never happened.", says her uncle.

"That's funny coming from you Mr. 'I don't need sleep, my research is more important'.", says her mother.

After a bit of talking, they decided to try to deal with the rest of the event.

✂----------------------------------------------------------------

"Hoshino-san!", Ahmya hears a voice he didn't wanted to deal now.

The group were just about to go to the airport, she wanted a calm walking but looks like luck wasn't on her side again.

"What you want, Midoriya?", she says seriously.

"I--", he begins uncertain but then looks serious, "What you did was wrong, I know you did it to save everyone but you didn't needed to kill them. A true hero saves people in danger!"

"Is that so?", she says uninterested, "I don't care about the delusions you fed yourself during your life but not everyone is worth saving.", she takes a step towards Midoriya and he steps back, "You can't save everyone no matter how hard you try.", another step, "Smiling doesn't reassure everyone.", another step, "Reckless behavior have grave consequences.", another step and Midoriya slips and fall, when he looks at her she haves a menacing glare, "And lastly: I'm. Not. A. Hero!", and then she turns and walk away.

Midoriya gets frozen for a moment and then gets up.

"You're wrong! You have a hero spirit deep down, I know it! My friends told me you saved them at the entrance exams, or the Stain incident or what happened today.", he screams and she looks at him unamused, "Why you can't see how your quirk can really help people?!", with that she tenses.

"He shouldn't have said that...", her uncle whispers to the group and her mother nods.

"Hero? HERO?! That's all that matter to you?!", she screams at Midoriya's face, "Not everything is about heroes and I fear if the future generation will be like you and your dear friends! You all jumped into action because you all believed that you could solve a terrorist attack! You all put civilians at risk because you thought that you could have helped, so let me ask you, and if your help wasn't enough? I can answer that: you all would be dead!", she notices that her rant is getting attention but she is so done to care about it, "The damned hero society in Japan ruined everything! Your value is defined through your quirk instead of yourself and your work, since the moment you 'found out' that my quirk was 'versatile and powerful', your own words, you don't leave me alone with saying how wonderful hero I would be! It doesn't help with your stalking Mr. 'I can't see a new quirk and I have to write it down against the owner wishes'! You know what? I'm done with your hero bullshit! Keep your delusions away from me!", she says and walks away with her uncle going after her.

The people around are shocked, and a bit disturbed with the info that a hero student is stalker, including his class who came in the middle of the commotion.

"You really pushed her.", says her mother shaking her head, "And by the way, your homeroom teacher was notified of your stunt here, be ready for a punishment when you get back.", then she leaves with the group following.

✂----------------------------------------------------------------

After the goodbyes, the group separates to their respective flights, Ahmya now finally managed to get some sleep since they are officially leaving the island.

"Will she be ok?", whispers Void to her mother.

"I don't know. I only know that things will be different now that she made her point.", her mothers answers while looking at Ahmya.

Though love they say...
