If only they had known Japan would be nothing more than a death sentence for Cathleen Bate.

Star and Stripe was an American hero that came to aid Japan in the war against All for one. The fighter jet she took was intercepted by Shigaraki himself. And a handful of Nomus.

She didn't make it.

But her death did buy them some time. By doing some serious damage to Shigaraki's body and quirks. Her quirk New order gave her the ability to change the order or law of something after touching it and saying it's name. She cleverly changed New order itself before Shigaraki took it. Sending it to kill off his other quirks.

"It's estimated that we'll have a week at most before Shigaraki is ready for combat. But that's just a guess." Naomasa said looking over his papers. "We need a plan before that. This will be our one opportunity to gain the upper hand."

"Has All for one said anything Kira? I know it's difficult but..." All Might asked Kira, looking guilty.

"No. He hasn't said anything since the fight with Star. I think he's partially fused with Shigaraki though. At least his consciousness." Kira said sitting up. She was honestly glad for the silence from him. Being without his voice in her head was doing her some good.

"That's good." All Might smiled. "I'm glad. Her health is more important than information."
"You should head back to the dorms. You could use some rest." He said, patting her shoulder.

"Right... I'll take you up on that." Kira chuckled. "Keep me posted though."

"Of course."

Kira shoved her hands in the pockets of her shorts. They were UA uniform shorts. These days the uniform was mostly what everyone wore. But Kira...
She sighed and adjusted her shirt. She was wearing a soft graphic tee under the UA jacket. Along with her usual sneakers and no stockings. She had tried it. Wearing the old uniform. The button up and the skirt.

It made her want to vomit.

Kira had spent almost a month rotting in that outfit. Locked up in the Villa while she was held captive. The button up and the skirt... She couldn't put them back on. Not even new ones. When she looked down after getting back, seeing the crisp white shirt and the pressed skirt. She felt a wave of nausea and suddenly felt like she was back there.

So she didn't wear it. And she knew that some of her classmates seemed to understand why she didn't. Without her having to explain.

There were so many... Problems she had been dealing with since she got back. So much she had yet to talk about to anyone yet. She just wanted to be... Normal again.

Kira sat in the common room. Between Bakugou and Kaminari, who was drinking some sort of energy drink dispite it being almost dusk.

Most of the others were put doing something to prepare for the fight they all knew was up ahead. Some were getting their hero costume upgraded. Some were training or working out. While others... Like her group were spending time together. In a way they hadn't in a long time.

"Oh I am sooo gonna get you!" Sero said with a grin. His hands clicking the buttons of his controler as he fight Kirishima one on one. It was some sort of hero combat game, Kira loosely paid attention.

"No you won't!" Kirishima said back with a chuckle.

Kira frowned and leaned against Bakugou. She felt off... Like something was just wrong. She was in a permeant state of uneasiness.

One of those days were you feel like you're always on the edge of tears. For no reason. Even the smallest thing could tip the balance.

"You okay?" Bakugou whispered. Looking down at her.
