I didn't know much of anything about the full fledged mission Midoriya, Kirishima and Uraraka took part in with the Big Three.

Apparently it was a rescue mission - for a little girl named Eri, that now being out of the hospital, was UA's responsibility. After a few days, Aizawa introduced her to everyone, each person coming up one at a time to introduce themselves as to not over whelm her.

I watched her movements, she was just a child, small and cute and confused. She didn't really remind me of myself, despite the being shy part.

All I could think about was what they were rescuing her from - what pain she had to endure. I felt pathetic for ever thinking my situation was bad when I looked at her.

I hesitated when it was my turn, stepping up to her slowly, I kneeled down to be level with her and forced a small smile onto my face,

"My name is Mitsuha. It's nice to meet you, Eri."

Her eyes widened slightly, and she reached out and touched my hand that rested on my knee.

"Are you okay?" She asked, shocking me.

"Yeah. I'm alright."

"Are you like me?"

I lost my breath for a moment, somehow knowing what she meant when I looked into her eyes. 'were you saved like me?' she had asked, just worded differently.

I placed my other hand on top of hers, realizing that she didn't think I was pathetic for being scared and upset just because I might have not suffered the same way she did. To her, we were equals, and that was more than enough for me.

"Yeah." I whispered.

"Did Deku save you too?"

I shook my head, "The one who saved me was him." I turned, pointing to Bakugo who stood a bit far off from everyone else, though when he saw us staring he narrowed his eyes in confusion.

"His name is Bakugo."

"He looks angry." She said, her voice full of concern as she glanced between me and him.

I giggled, "He likes to act that way. But if you look close enough, you'll see that he's actually just really sweet. Like a marshmallow."

"He's a marshmallow?"

I nodded, trying to hold back a laugh, "Yes. He's a marshmallow."

"What's a marshmallow?" She asked, turning to look at Aizawa for confirmation.

My eyes widened, and I looked up to Aizawa in shock, before turning to Yaoyorozu, "Yao-chan, do we have marshmallows?"

"Yes, of course. Would Eri-chan like one?"

Eri nodded her head shyly, hesitantly saying please as Yaoyorozu left to get one. When the little girl took the marshmallow in her hands, she squished it curiously before taking a small bite. I smiled when her eyes lit up, and she hummed in joy.

"It's sweet! I like marshmallows!"

Later, when Eri had left and everyone was beginning to gather in the main room for dinner, I was called out by a very excited Uraraka when we had even more visitors.

My eyes bulged at the entire Pussy Cat hero group grinning in the lobby, dressed casually and with a little boy trailing behind them. They talked mainly to Midoriya and a few others who asked questions, claiming they were officially back in business because their rank was still higher than they expected it to be.

I was in awe, the Pussy Cats were... odd, sort of, but they had incredible strength and specialized in areas hundreds of other pros didn't even have time to work on.

I watched, not really knowing what to say, particularly interested in the little boy that was yelling at who I assumed was a relative to 'stop talking'. She must have been embarrassing him, he did have the same shoes as Midoriya.

"Bakugo-kun." I began, turning to look at him, having felt his harsh stare from behind me, "Who's that boy?"

He huffed, "That's a kid the cats took in, his parents were pros that died on the field or something." I turned to look at him in confusion when he suddenly laughed,

"Actually, first time Deku tried to talk to him he kicked him in the sack!"

I scoffed lightly as the male cackled, "Wow. He seems a lot like you, actually."

"Shut it." He growled, his laughing coming to an abrupt halt.

-

I licked my lips, grinning in my position. After begging Iwazumi-sensei, and then Iwazumi-sensei begging Aizawa, I was allowed to stand with the teachers of class 1-A and 1-B as well as All Might to observe the battles between the two classes - as well as Shinso's exam.

Vlad King stared at me, "So, Mitsuha-san." He began, catching my attention, "I've heard many good things about you from Iwazumi-san. You must really love quirk studies to be brave enough to stand up here with us pros."

I shrugged, "I'm used to it. I observe with Aizawa-sensei all the time."

"You're going to end up stuck here as a teacher if you're not careful."

I smiled, "Stuck here?" I thought aloud, "Doesn't sound bad to me at all."

Once everyone was grouped, the battles began. I paid close attention to stealth and capture tactics mostly, most battles went by pretty fast - especially Bakugo's group. He easily took the lead and allowed the others to have his back, and he ended up with the best score in capturing everyone from the opposing team without a single person on his team injured at all.

He really is incredible...

"Iume-san, please, pay attention."

"Oh, sorry." I turned back to the officer, "I've given you most of what I know."

He nodded, glancing back down at his papers for a moment, "Yes... your assumption that your father is the mastermind behind your kidnappings, sending colleges of his to try and get information out of you... for the league of villains?"

I nodded, "Of course he had to take precautions since I am still his daughter. He didn't want me actually hurt, that's why he didn't send legitimate villains."

He nodded again, and I frowned at my inability to read if he was impressed or if he thought I was crazy, "The league of villains seems more closed off than that as far as we know. To take information from a children's doctor seems a far fetch, wouldn't you say?"

"No. The league clearly has huge ulterior motives. They want domination, not isolation. I think their organization is a lot bigger than you think it is."

He sighed, though when he looked into my eyes and nodded once more, this time I knew that he had believed me. He stood and I followed him out the door to where the other officers were waiting to discuss their next moves.

Bakugo grumbled under his breath, beginning to walk away without a word, I waved goodbye to the officers and jogged to catch up with him so we could go back to the dorms.

Luckily, the stations wasn't too far away, so we could walk.

Unfortunately though - this was awkward. And so, just like many weeks ago, I stared at my feet and did my best to walk so quietly that Bakugo would forget I was even here.
