When Eraserhead said a two hour walk he really meant "we're taking a train" I was happy that we didn't have to walk such a distance but I was still confused about the empty area.

When we got in Eraserheads small apartment I instantly collapsed on the floor, a mere two feet from the door and fell asleep instantly.

Jack POV

Lazy. I grinned staring at my brother laying on the grey carpet. "Thanks for taking care of us Eraserhead." I sighed, he grunted before entering, to what I assumed, his own room.

I picked Red up and brought him to a dark grey sofa and put him down before taking my own seat next to him. Eraserhead seemed to be one of three, a minimalist, lazy or he's terrible at decorating. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and just went with a minimalist.

I leaned back while in my seating position in an attempt to get some sleep, no luck as I my dreams seemed to be replaced with nightmares. Its a whole lot easier when your just gassed to sleep. I turned to Red who was sleeping peacefully whether it be from exhaustion or his new "problem" we have yet to find out. I tore myself from that thought and began to read anything I could to keep myself occupied.

I was barely awake before Red suddenly jolted up breathing heavily and panicking.

"W-where are w-we?" He was on the verge of tears from panic.

"Don't worry we're out. All that bad stuff is gone, we're safe in Eraserheads care." I said soothingly, it was what I told myself so I imagined it would work the same.

"O-out? F-f-finally... F-food?" He asked meekly looking up with tired and pleading eyes.

"Maybe when Eraserhead wakes up." I sighed patting my brother on the head before leaning back and closing my eyes. It was only a matter of seconds before I heard a door click and tired footsteps pad closer.

"I-is that E-Eraserhead?" My brother asked. Is this from that personality disorder thing? I hope I don't have to teach him everything multiple times. I thought with a nod to his question.

"Just call me Mr Aizawa, and its time for breakfast so get up." He told us and we did as instructed with a nod.

As we ate toast at a small table I watched Red just stare at his food. What is he doing? Then out of nowhere he blinked a few times and began to eat. Everything about him just seemed to change, his posture, his natural expression, his pace... Even his eye colour! Is that also his disorder? Either way he looks a lot happier now... After my internal rant I began to eat as well munching down on the plain toast.

"Did you sleep Jack?" Mr Aizawa asked not even stopping from his food.

"Couldn't..." I sighed, unfortunately I seemed to be rendered an insomniac...

"As to be expected with what you two when through... You two where part of the Jackalhime project correct?" He looked up studying my face as he asked.

I saw Reds face darken for a moment before he turned away from his food. "I'm not hungry..." He almost growled it as he stormed out the apartment taking his shoes with him.

I instantly got up to go after him. I searched frantically only to find him in the garden punching and kicking a tree with blooded knuckles. "Hey!" I called out. He turned slowly eyes a dark red and full of death and bloodlust. "D-don't hurt yourself..." I ran to him and hugged him despite my fear of him. "I know we went through some tough times, b-but those times are gone now! S-so please come back inside... Or at least get some gloves on..." I felt his arms slowly hold me back and I turned to see slightly irritated dark blue eyes.

"Idiot... I'm fine. Its just that we got hurt so much without being able to do anything and the next time we can do something I want to be ready to protect us... We already lost Val... I don't want to lose you either..." He sighed looking away with a still slightly irritated expression. Valkyrie... We never saw her after we got taken... We both took a second to release each other.

"I imagine Red has calmed down now..." Mr Aizawa commented from the door. "If you wanted training you should have just said so. Let's see what you've got then!" He grinned before getting into a combat stance

"Alright! I'll try not to hold back!" Red had a menacing grin as his eyes changed to a gold colour and his face looked confident. So his eyes can be Dark red, gold, blue, dark blue or green... They also seem to connect to his personalities...

Red was first to charge but stopped half way then jumped high and scattered a cloud of dust and dirt he must have picked up. After that move I could only see part of what happened, Red charged down with a kick and a suplex that looked to have failed on both attacks. When the dust cleared I saw Red covered in the scarf Mr Aizawa was wearing.

"Its not over yet!" Red declared before spinning at a ridiculous speed and jumping from the binds, Mr Aizawa recoiled his scarf and threw it back at red before he landed but he caught it! Red yanked on the scarf and jumped catapulting himself through the air towards Mr Aizawa who dodged and caught Red and strung him to the branches of the tree. "OK you win!"

"You have a lot to learn... But we can start with quirks. What is your quirk?" Mr Aizawa asked tiredly.

"Umm... Well about that... Not sure if I have one... I don't remember having one." Red sighed, this time with blue eyes... The original...

"Well you fought well considering then... Have you had a check up?" Mr Aizawa asked dropping Red to the floor, recoiling his scarf.

"Other then the labs? No." I saw reds eyes flash red as he said "labs". "I guess nows a good time to check."
