Chapter 56 - Mission Start!

A few days after discovering the shocking truth, while the pro heroes that teamed up with Sir were pinpointing the location of the young head of the Shie Hassaikai, Chisaki, and Eri, we were on standby. Unfortunately we were also forbidden to say anything about our work studies.

While training in the TDL one day, climbing a huge wall without our quirks, we were doing slightly better than the rest of the class even though I didn't really realise it.

"Hey! What'd you figure out?! Tell me!" yelled my boyfriend from down below.

"Sorry! We can't!" Eijiro and I shouted out back. Everyone who was there at the time would be a part of the operation to save Eri.

I thought back to when Mr Aizawa was talking to us.

"That said, apart from the Big Three, who are at least as strong as the pros, the rest of you probably won't have big parts to play." he said to us. "Asui, Uraraka, Kirishima. You three aren't here of your own volition. What would you like to do?"

They all passionately agreed to help out. "Our goal this time is only to rescue the girl, Eri. We won't step in further than that." he then got more serious. "It is the opinion of the police and Nighteye that the League of Villains and the Shie Hassaikai are not in a partnership, so the chances are low that the League will be involved in this time's raid. But in case they are wrong and the League ends up involved, then you guys are out." We all nodded.

"Roger!"

I walked to lunch while chatting with Shoto and Tenya. Izuku was with us but he went a bit ahead and it looked like he was a bit out of it. As we sat down to eat Izuku just stared at his food as if he was thinking.

"You're not gonna eat?" Shoto asked him. He jolted awake from his daydream and stuttered.

"I am! I'm eating!"

"Are you okay?" asked Tenya. I just sat there looking at him concerned.

"You've been looking gloomy ever since you started your work study." said Shoto. "You not as much (Y/N) but there's definitely been a change in your usually happy self."

"R-really?" I said nervously. Tenya did one of his hand movements.

"If you ever feel hopeless again, let me know." he smiled. "We're friends right?" Noooo why you gotta hit us with past stuff! "That's what you told me back then, when I was being foolish."

I heard Izuku hiccup from across me.

"Izuku!"

"Hey!"

"Midoriya."

"Sorry, I'm okay. It's nothing." he said and he started at his food again, scarfing it down. "Heroes don't cry!"

"No, I think heroes cry when they need to, too. Probably." said Shoto.

"Everyone cries, Izuku, and it's fine." I said.

"You can have half of my soba."

"You can have some of my beef stew, too!"

"I'll give you a portion of my (F/F) too." we all smiled at the precious baby sitting with us.

"Thank you . . ."

Lessons had ended that day and I really needed to talk to Izuku.

"Hey Suki . . . I'll catch you later, I gotta talk to someone." I kissed the side of his face and found Izuku who was slowly walking back by himself. "Izuku, can we talk?" he lifted his head.
