The kids were confused. Aizawa had told them they were gaining three new kids. It had been over two years now without anyone coming or going. Who were these kids?
They weren't informed much, but that Aizawa would be leaving that night to see them, and would bring them by in the morning after breakfast. He warned them to be prepared for anything.
After Aizawa had left, Mic gathered them all in the main room. "Look guys, I know this is a lot of change, but please, just hang with us here".
"I wonder who the new kids are," Tsuyu whispered.
Mic brightened a little. The girl really was recovering and going back to speaking her mind. That was good progress!
"Are they boys or girls?" Mina added, looking at Mic hopefully.
Mic shrugged. "Sorry, I don't really know anything yet. We don't even have the files yet. We just found about them a couple hours ago!"
"So no names, huh?" Katsuki said.
"No names," Mic confirmed.
Momo sighed. "Were you told anything?"
Mic gave her a half hearted shrug. Momo growled. She hated not knowing stuff.
"Well, it sounds like theirs nothing we can do then," Kirishima spoke. "So can we go back to video games now?"
Kirishima smiles, showing off all his sharp teeth, when Mic nodded. Then, realized what he was doing, and snapped his mouth shut, staring at the floor in embarrassment.
Katsuki rolled his eyes, and playfully swatted the back of his head. "Your fine, dumbass. Everyone here loves your teeth".
Kirishima didn't respond, but did straighten himself slightly. That's right. He had a family here. They all did.

The next morning, Mic ran through the dorms, banging on a pot with a metal spoon. "UP AND AT 'EM EVERYONE!" He yelled.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP! WE'RE AWAKE!" Katsuki yelled back.
Their were groans from everyone as they pulled themselves up.
Katsuki got dressed quickly, and headed downstairs to the kitchen, where others were already waiting.
"When are they coming?" Uraraka nervously asked.
"Well, their was an... incident," Mic started, looking at all the kids.
They noticed Mic looked worried, and that was never a good sign.
"What happened?" Mina asked, already worried for the safety of these new kids.
"Theirs a boy, he was... really bad off. He tried to, well," Mic had no idea how to say this.
As he struggled to find the right words, Katsuki spoke up. "He tried to kill himself?"
Mic gave a nod, and continued. "Yeah. He's all right, but they need to make a stop by the hospital for a check up, then they'll be on their way. So we can expect them after dinner time".
"Will we be awake when they arrive?" Tsuyu whispered again.
"No. You'll have to meet them in the morning".
Everyone went quiet. They didn't like the idea that one of the boys had already tried to kill themselves.
"Uh, well, on that note, let's head to the park today," Mic offered.
Everyone groaned, suicidal boy forgotten. They hated the park, always being leered or stared at. Actually, they hated any outside contact at all.
"After breakfast," Mic grinned, as if he was a genius for thinking of the idea.
