    "Hima-chan, have you and Yate-chan eaten lunch?" Hitoshi asks while he stands up. Himari signs to Hayate before receiving a head shake.

  "No. We forgot," Himari signs with a sheepish smile. Hitoshi gives her a stern stare before glancing up at the fight just beginning.

  "I'll go buy you two some food. Momo-chan is in charge in case anything happens," Hitoshi says and signs at the same time. The twins nod before going back to watching the fight. Hitoshi rolls his eyes and walks out of the viewing area.

  He stuffs his hands into his pockets and walks through the stadium, towards the entrance. Maybe he should get something sweet for his siblings.

  "Hey, Shinsō-kun!" A deep voice speaks from the end of the hallway. Hitoshi glances back and sees one of his old classmates jogging toward him. It was a shorter girl with tan skin, short purple hair, and bright yellow eyes.

  "Lū-kun," Hitoshi greets with an indifferent expression.

  Lū Daiyu never really talked with Hitoshi, but she hardly talked with anyone else in Class 1-C. Hitoshi thinks it's because she moved to Japan only four months ago from China and she didn't know anyone. He knew just from how distant she made herself from everyone, she never wanted to move.

  Daiyu gives a small, awkward smile and runs a hand through her short hair.

  "How are you?" Diayu asks, making Hitoshi wince internally at the awkwardness.

  "Could be better," Hitoshi shrugs, starting to walk towards the food vendors again. Daiyu walks with him.

  "I heard the rumors about what happened Friday. Did Hana-san really make you cry?" Daiyu says, making Hitoshi snort.

  "If cry, you mean make me have an episode that lasted two hours, then yes. The rumors are true," The insomniac says, Daiyu wincing at the harshness.

  "I-I wanted to apologise to you," Daiyu starts awkwardly, clearing her throat, "for not-you know, talking with you more and not stopping our classmates–my classmates."

  "It's fine, Lū-san," Hitoshi says, making the shorter girl laugh coldly.

  "No, it's not. I was caught up in my own problems and didn't try to help you. I just stood off to the side. It's a horrible thing to do–to do nothing for a classmate," She argues back. Hitoshi smiles slightly and nudges her shoulder.

  "Yeah, maybe it was, but hey–" Hitoshi stops in front of one of the food vendors, "you're apologizing."

  Daiyu smiles slightly and scratches at her red neck. Hitoshi orders food for his siblings.

  "Will you be willing to go shopping with me sometime soon?" The purple haired teenager asks hopefully. "My uncles are getting unbearably annoying with their pestering for me to go out and they don't count going to school."

  Hitoshi snorts and shrugs one of his shoulders. They start walking back to the stadium.

  "You skipped so many levels," Hitoshi jokes, making Daiyu roll her eyes. "Like, we just became level two and you jumped to level five."

  Daiyu laughs, her deep voice resonating in the empty hall of the stadium. Hitoshi smiles and adjusts his grip on the two plates of food.

  "I'm going to be busy with... family things, but we can exchange numbers in case a day becomes free for me," Hitoshi answers, ignoring the weird look Daiyu gave him.

  Daiyu notices Hitoshi's stop coming up and doesn't ask him any questions. She pulls out her phone and hands it to him.

  "I'll keep an eye on Hana for you. She's planning something," The shorter teenager says while Hitoshi types in his number.

  "The UA Whore is always planning something," Hitoshi snarks dryly, handing back Daiyu's phone. Daiyu snorts at the nickname and puts up her phone.

  "See you later, Shinsō-kun," Daiyu says while she turns around. Hitoshi smiles and hums in acknowledgement.

  "See you," Hitoshi calls after his new friend before walking into his class's viewing area.

  "Iida Tenya of Class 1-A is blown out of bounds! Midoriya of Class 1-A wins!" Hitoshi hears Nemuri call the end of the match. Himari cheers silently, jumping up and down on Hitoshi's seat.

  "Himari, you're going to fall," The indigo haired teenager says, grabbing the back of her dress and lifting her up. The three year old pouts heavily as Hitoshi lowers her to the ground.

  "But Izu-kun won!" Himari signs in her defense. Hayate giggles before grabbing one of the plates of food, signing his thanks.

  "And you have the tendency to attract trouble and I'd rather not deal with any explosions so soon after the last incident," Hitoshi shoots back, making Himari blush and scowl. She grabs the plate from Hitoshi and walks backwards.

  "Fate's a bitch. It's her fault." Hitoshi gives his younger sister a stern glare while Katsuki barks out a laugh.

  "Himari-chan!" Momo exclaims, a wide-eyed expression on her face.

  "Nice goin' kid!" Katsuki states, Hitoshi glaring at the blonde before glaring at Himari for smiling brightly.

  "Don't go forgetting the rules I placed on cussing Himari." Himari nods her head with a pout. "Tokoyami-kun's and Shōji-kun's fight will start soon."

  "I'm starting to like these fuckin' brats," Katsuki states with a grin, making Hitoshi snort with an eye roll.

  "Wait until they come across some trouble," Hitoshi says, Himari laughing innocently at something Hayate signed.

  "Oh, how I wish they weren't problem children," Hitoshi groans while he rubs his tired eyes.

  "You sound like Aizawa-Sensei," Izuku says, walking into their viewing area with Tenya behind him.

  "You're one to talk, Midoriya–I have no concept of any ideas on not breaking my bones–Izuku," The insomniac snarks back, Izuku blushing bright red while fiddling with the bandages around two of his fingers.

    "Ingenium, how are the victims?" A tall man with combed blonde hair, green eyes, and fair skin wearing all denim walks up to the tired hero. Ingenium glances up from his phone and gives the higher ranked hero a small smile.

  "In critical condition. The doctor says they are stable for now. I just contacted the families. They'll be here soon," Ingenium answers calmly. He sighs and runs a hand through his hair.

  "Was it the Hero Killer that did this?" Best Jeanist asks sitting next to Ingenium. The younger man frowns, his eyebrows furrowing.

  "No. Stain goes after heroes and doesn't try to kill them." Ingenium leans back, rubbing his eyes. "These two go to Seiai Academy. They're in the Hero Course."

  "They intentionally wanted to kill the students."

  Best Jeanist frowns heavily, shoulders tensing.

  "League of Villains?" Best Jeanist suggests, Ingenium shrugging.

  "I don't know."

  The heroes stay sitting in the busy hospital, waiting. Neither realized how huge this was going to be.
