"We did good." Ochako tells Izuku as they follow Rogers up the stairs.

"There were a few places you could have done better. Much better." Rogers answers. "And the only reason you won was because of Izuku. Had it not been for him floating everyone using his telekinesis, you'd have faced a much longer battle where you," He looks back at Ochako. "would have been knocked out."

"Hey. She did good. Besides, we've only had a few weeks to train. Don't expect us to be on the same level as your soldiers just like that." Izuku tells Rogers.

"Kid, I don't want you to be like my soldiers." Rogers says, stopping mid step. "I want you to be better."

"Then don't treat us like your soldiers." Izuku says.

"He's not wrong you know." Ochako tells Izuku. "He is right. We only won because of you."

"Ochako, you took out several people. All by yourself. Don't let anyone make you doubt that you're good." Izuku tells her before turning to Rogers. "And I know we are on somewhat of a timeline here because of All for One and because of me, but don't treat Ochako or anyone here as a soldier." He warns him. "They don't know what's out there like we do. Let them remain kids for a bit longer while you train them."

"You have a good heart kid." Rogers says, placing his hand on Izuku's shoulder. "Let's go now. We are needed in the Conference room."

"Oh right, why are we here anyway?" Ochako asks. "Between the adrenaline and the excitement of winning, I almost forgot to ask you earlier."

"While we've addressed everything with your teachers here at UA, there is still a lot we need to discuss with your family." Rogers answers as they continue walking.

"What?" Ochako says, shocked.

"Just think of it like a family meeting." Rogers answers as the group walks into the conference room that currently seated the Uraraka's, the Midoriya's and a few staff members of UA. And of course, Frost and Nighthawk and a few soldiers from the Shadows.

"Ochako!" Mrs. Uraraka exclaims as she gets up and hugs her daughter. "Are you fine? Are you hurt?"

"It's nothing Ma." Ochako answers. "I barely felt most of their punches thanks to Ms. Foster's training." Ochako says.

"Which one's that?" Mr. Uraraka asks her.

"That would be me." Foster responds walking up to them. "Lieutenant Foster. Vice Commander of Japan's branch of the Shadow of The Phoenix. And the one that personally trained your daughter. And don't bother thanking me for training her. She was simply the one I was assigned to. Nothing more and nothing less."

"Still, if it's not too much to ask, we'd like to invite you to our home sometime. For lunch at least. It's the least we can do to thank you Ms. Foster." Mrs. Uraraka tells her.

"Sorry Mrs. Uraraka. But it's against protocol." Foster answers. "But thank you for that offer."

"The offer's open. If you ever change your mind, I'm sure you know where to go." Mr. Uraraka tells her.

"Thank you. Ochako, you'll be sitting towards the head of the table like last time." Foster tells Ochako. "You'll have time later to talk to your parents."

Ochako nods and turns to Izuku who was currently looking for someone in the room.

"Shimura, who are you looking for?" Foster asks him.

"Granpa and Toshi." Izuku answers.

"They're not here. Not yet at least. Your family is here though." Foster says as her gaze turns to Izumi, Hisashi and Inko sitting on one side of the room.
