3rd person- 2 weeks after the last chapter

The class meet up in the main room for dinner, and Jack notices something, "Zuki isn't here" "Where is she then?" Ev starts walking to the door "I'll go get her, I have an idea as to where she is" She exits the dorm building and heads to the training gym set aside for 1-A. She walks in and sees Izuki training against Umbreon, "Yo! Zuki!" "Hm?" Izuki stops and looks over at Ev, "What's up?" "Dinner is ready, get a move on" "Oh, sorry. Lost track of time then" Umbreon disappears and Izuki walks into the shower room, and a few minutes later comes back out in casual clothes. "Ready" "Good. Let's go" Ev and Izuki walk back to the dorms.

"Where were you Zuki?" "She was training, again" Izuki gets a bit nervous at the look Ev is giving her, "What?" "You need to calm down with the training Izuki. At least you're getting enough sleep though" Izuki looks at the ground, "Can we just eat?" "Yeah, lets eat before it gets cold" Izuki sits at the table, and starts eating. She eats silently, pretending to not hear what the others are talking about. "I'll be honest here, I didn't get a full nights sleep last night" "Ashido, I highly recommend that you try going to bed earlier than you did last night" "I will Iida, don't worry. It was a one time thing" "Kinda random thought I had, how are we going to beat Shigaraki and his probably hundreds of goons?" "We as hero students, licenses or not, will not be taking part in the fight against Shigaraki... shouldn't be at least. Either way, good question Mira" "Hey Evelyn, where was Izuki anyway?" "Training. But next time maybe ask her instead of me" "Right, sorry" "Do you think Aizawa will let me go home for the weekend?" "I don't see why not" "That reminds me, I haven't gone home once since the summer" "So... who all is wanting to go home for the weekend? I can ask Aizawa after lunch" Everyone except six people say that they are wanting to go check on their families.

"So, that's all but Kaminari, Jackson, Tokoyami, Evelyn, and Hagakure" Eri looks to Izuki, only to see that she's gone, "Mama left" "Hm?" "Mama isn't here anymore" Iida realizes far too late that out of everyone here, Izuki is the most sensitive about her family, and that she must have left when they started talking about their families, seeing how she didn't even finish eating. "I'll go see if she went to her room" Iida goes upstairs and knocks on her door, "What?" "Eri noticed you left, everything okay?" The door swings open, "That depends, would you have noticed that I left if Eri didn't say anything?" Iida stays silent, ashamed in himself. "There's my answer. It took my daughter saying I left for anyone to notice, though I did see Jack watching me leave, so at least someone saw" "I'm sorry Izuki, I know you don't like hearing people talk about their families like nothing is wrong in the world" "I honestly don't mind that much, it just makes me sad and pissed off at the same time when people act like there aren't two orphans in the room" "I-I'm sorry..."

"Just... fuck off and leave me alone. If anyone asks, let them know I want to be alone. Completely alone, which means to tell Jack to go to his own room for tonight" "I will, sorry for upsetting you" She hears him walking away, and lays on her bed. "You going to get some sleep now?" "No. What if they try to kidnap me again?" "Izuki, it's been a week. They aren't going to do anything" "You don't know that" Espeon sighs, "Dear, are you sure you didn't get traumatized or something like that? Or at the very least developed a fear" "I don't think so, but I did go through so much pain this last month... what day even is it?" She checks the calendar on her phone, "Holy shit, it's December 12?! I haven't even started looking for a gift for people, not to mention I have no idea if we're going to do anything" "You can worry about that tomorrow, get some sleep. If it makes you feel better, I'll stay out and watch over you" Izuki nods and lays in her bed, quickly falling asleep.

Espeon appears downstairs, "Jackson" "Esp? What's up?" "Come with me" "Okay...?" The two teleport up to Izuki's room, "She's sleeping, what's wrong with that?" "This is the first time since she got back that she fell asleep, and that's only because I promised to stay out and watch over her" "She's scared, isn't she?" "Paranoid even. She's worried that Shigaraki will try something again. But that isn't why I brought you here, she only just realized what day it is. I want you do something for me, not as Espeon, but as Izuki's friend, and your mother" "What is it?" "Promise her you'll always be there for her, be the one person she can always count on when she needs help, never leave her waiting and alone, that you will always love her and never break her heart... that you'll always be that shoulder for her to cry on. Me and the others won't always be here, you know that, she knows that, we know that... she'll need you more than ever" "That... sounds like you want me to ask her to marry me" "You are nearing the middle of your second year at UA" "I guess that's true, but actually marrying her will have to wait. Not only because of the very real impending fight against Shigaraki, but also... I don't know if we should get married while still at UA" "That's fine, simply promising her that it will happen will do so much for her"
