The abandoned airstrip stretches behind them as Rose leads the group down a dusty path, the heat of the Spanish sun beating down on them. The landscape is vast and empty, with nothing but dry fields and the occasional distant tree. The group walks in silence, tension hanging in the air. She walks a few steps ahead, her eyes downcast as she gathers the courage to speak.

Her heart pounds in her chest as she tries to find the right words. "I owe them an explanation. I owe him an explanation." The weight of her secrets has been suffocating, and now, with no choice left, she knows she has to let them in.

"I guess... I should explain," she says quietly, not looking back at the group as she speaks. Her voice is soft, almost hesitant. "I'm from Spain. My family... we weren't close. Everyone kind of went their own way. Some stayed, some left. We haven't spoken in a long time."

The group listens closely, their footsteps the only sound as she continues to walk. She hesitates for a moment, unsure of how much to say, but she knows she has to be honest. Her gaze stays fixed on the ground as she speaks.

"Our... family business," she begins, her voice wavering slightly, "is being villains. It's what we've always done. I learned how to hijack planes from my cousin. That's how I knew how to fly the jet."

She can feel the weight of Bakugo's gaze on her, but she can't bring herself to look at him yet.

Her voice grows quieter, more vulnerable, as she explains why she chose Spain. "I brought us here because... I knew we could find help here. Spain is where I have the most connections." She pauses, her throat tightening. "I thought it was the safest option."

She glances back at the group, her eyes flicking briefly to Bakugo. His expression is hard to read, but the intensity of his gaze makes her chest tighten. "He's going to be mad. I should've told him sooner."

The group remains silent, processing what she just revealed. Kirishima, Kaminari, and Sero exchange glances but don't say anything yet. The tension is thick, and Rosalia can feel her own nerves unraveling. She hesitates, unsure of how to explain the rest.

"There's more... but I don't know how to explain it," she admits, her voice barely above a whisper. She risks another glance at Bakugo, her heart pounding with fear of what he might say. "I know I should've told you all sooner. Especially you, Katsuki..."

Her voice trails off, and she looks down again, guilt pressing heavily on her shoulders. "Please don't hate me."

There's a heavy silence as the group walks behind her, taking in everything she just revealed. The weight of her family's history, her decision to bring them to Spain, and the fact that she'd kept so much hidden.

Kaminari is the first to break the silence, his voice gentle but cautious. "So... you come from a family of villains?"

Kirishima nods, his brow furrowed but not in anger. "I mean, we're all kind of in the same boat now, right? We've all done some messed-up stuff. But you should've trusted us with this."

Rose swallows hard, her throat dry as she forces herself to speak again. "I didn't know how to tell you," she admits quietly. Her voice trembles slightly, and she finally stops walking, turning to face the group. "But... I need to know. Do you trust me? I need to know that I haven't lost that."

Her eyes flick fromone face to another, lingering on Bakugo for a moment longer. Her heart racesas she waits for their responses, her mind filled with doubt.
