Chapter 1: Trouble in Paradise
First one POV Y/n
______________

I had spent eight months, three weeks, and four days training for this moment—the exact breath in which someone would tell me I could go to Italy to save my little sister, Mia. I stood outside the doors of Endeavor's office. He had become my mentor after seeing me train with his son during a few joint sessions with Class 1-A. My hands were calloused from all my hard work, knowing that if my training wasn't enough, if my effort wasn't enough to get me noticed, it would all be for nothing.

The energy of my quirk coursed through my veins like a raging river rushing over the Rocky Mountains. My heart was pounding, and I could barely make out my surroundings; it felt like a black void of nothingness engulfed me. If I hadn't known I was in Endeavor's building today, I might not have known I was anywhere at all. I finally heard his thunderous footsteps coming out of his office and for a brief second my breath held at its peak as he looked down at me. "Pack your things, Rookie," He said in his grouchy voice, and my body which once was aching and burning like fire finally relaxed.

I nodded and my empty black void once again filled with light and sound, the world came back to me as the relief settled in. "We've been assigned third-year  Nejire Hado, and we'll be taking my son, and That Almight kid along with us," Endeavor added as he started back to his office, "Inform the others, we'll leave for Italy Monday night and we'll be staying at least the week but pack for two." I nodded and bowed before turning and nearly scrambling from the office building and back to U.A. with the good news.

I sighed as I got on the evening train, finally getting around to checking my phone. Katsuki and Ejiro had texted me a couple of times to check in but they seem too busy with their schedules so I won't bother them till they get back. Our soulmate bond has gotten stronger over the past few months, but it's also had its downsides as well.

We've long since wrapped up the case in which someone had been stocking me and my family— well not really; more like it's died down and we've gone back to our normal lives. Well As normal as I can make my life. I see my family on the weekends, I still have my normal therapy sessions with thirteen, and training has remained the same except I'm trying. What hasn't gone back to normal would be my relationship with my soulmates, they've only wanted to get closer to me since the case but I don't know how.

I'm still learning how to navigate friendships and family dynamics; how am I supposed to handle a real relationship and two no less? I sighed as I put on my headphones while the train cars filled with passengers. The sun was setting on the city and hiding behind the skyline of buildings; for a second it made with world seem quiet even with all the chaos that still exists. It's like the dream before the nightmare; well at least that's how I see it. Nothing remains peaceful for too long and with this mission coming, at least its chaos won't have a chance to sneak up on me this time.

The sound of the wheels hitting the tracks came to a squeaking halt as we came up to my stop; my music was tuning out the muttering of others around me as I walked off. "I'm in love with Stаcy's brother;" I hummed under my breath as I crossed into the crowd subway station. Japan was different from the other countries I've called home, here everyone respected the distance of space and kept to themselves if they didn't personally know you. Which I found enduring about this place.

"Told me to study for biоlogy," I continued to hum

The city is loud but with whispers, chatter, and unspoken gestures; but once you get on the high school grounds it's a whole other world. Maybe that's why out here I kept my headphones on, it's not that I couldn't handle the whispers; I've been around it all my life, it's the fact that even after all this time I still feel keen to listen in on the comments. It's like my body instinctually wants me to tune in on the chatter of those around

I showed my ID to the guards at the front gate and walked toward the dorms. "Y/N!" someone called from ahead. It was Kaminari, the guy with the electric quirk. He always reminded me of a Pichu, that baby version of Pikachu, with his carefree attitude and tendency to get zapped. He came running up with that usual dazed expression, like he'd just fried his brain.

"What's up?" I asked, pulling out my earbuds and letting the music fade away. Kaminari was catching his breath, but his worried look told me something was up. "What?"

"Did you ignore a text from Bakugou?!" he gasped, sounding like he was scared for his life.

"I was busy; I thought he'd understand."

Kaminari shook his head so hard I thought it might fall off. "Bad call, man! Bad call!" he whined. "He made us all suffer in training today, and he's still pissed!"

As we approached the dorms, I sighed, bracing myself for what was to come. It seemed like I'd have to deal with my soulmate-turned-monster. I made my way to his room and knocked, expecting his usual gruff response. Instead, Eijiro opened the door. "Hey," I said, gulping nervously. I hadn't expected him, and I had different strategies for handling them separately. Together, though... I was in trouble. "Pikachu kid said Bakugou was, uh, not acting like himself. I thought I'd come and check on him."

Ejiro nodded, "Yeah, he's alright. How about you? Are you alright?" He crossed his arms leaning against the door frame. I shifted uncomfortably under his stare—sure, we were about the same height, but when he glared at me, it felt like I had shrunk two feet.
