There And Back Again [Black Clover x BNHA]

Chapter Five

Midoriya explained the layout of the floor to the four mages, letting them decide who got what room. He showed them the bathroom as well and ended up having to explain how the shower worked to them because they only ever used a bath. When that was over, he left them to settle in and promised he would come back up when dinner arrived so that they could all get to know one another better.

The second the green-haired teen left, the mages converged in what was picked to be Asta's room, Bell finally showing herself once more. The order was Noelle, Mimosa, Yuno, and Asta. They all piled onto the bed, for once not caring about showing their normal attitudes towards one another, just wanting comfort. The little wind spirit was also uncharacteristically subdued.

To be fair, no one could blame them. They had been ripped from their home with no idea when or how they would return, and then thrown into the midst of an energetic group of people. Even Asta, the most excitable one, was drained from everything.

The four sat in comfortable silence, feeling like they should clean up because they were still coated in grime from their mission, but not having the energy to do so. Eventually, it was Yuno who spoke up first.

"This is not what I expected." He said softly. The others all shook their heads. "But even though you all get on my nerves, I'm glad we are still together."

"It could be worse." Noelle glanced at him, then the others. "We could have been separated and thrown in completely different places."

"I'm worried about home though." Mimosa cried out, rubbing a hand against her eyes. "Everyone is going to be so concerned when we don't show up and I-" She sniffled, her eyes shining bright with tears. "I just don't know!" Noelle pulled the red-haired mage into her side, rubbing a hand down her back.

"They'll be fine, and so will we." She told her cousin, brushing hair out of her face. "We're all together and we are going to get through this. Think of it like another mission, we just don't know the end goal yet, but we have steps to take along the way."

Mimosa smiled up at her cousin, chuckling quietly, her tears slowing. "I am grateful to be with you all. I just hope that everyone here is nice and we are able to fit in okay. This world is so much more advanced than our own."

"We'll overcome it like always, right Asta?" Yuno said, his eyes looking to the one who had yet to speak. Asta seemed to be lost in thought, dazedly staring at a wall. Realizing he was being spoken to, he turned to face his friends, a sheepish smile on his face.

"Huh? Oh yeah, we'll be fine." He spoke, although it wasn't full of his usual enthusiasm.

"Something wrong?" His childhood friend asked. If one looked closely they would see a hint of concern in his golden eyes. Bell glared at the anti-magic user, not thrilled with him making her Yuno upset.

"What? No." Asta paused, finally sighing and dropping his head back against the wall. "Okay, maybe not. I'm worried, but we just have to work through this, ya know? We can't give up, and hopefully no one else here or at home will either."

The other mages hummed in agreement, silence falling over them once more. A knock on the door caught their attention, and after Noelle called out a 'come in' the familiar green-haired teen's head popped in. Bell hid away once more, still not trustworthy of these new humans.

"Dinner's here." Midoriya said, a small smile on his face. "I promise none of them will bite. Oh, well maybe Bakugou, but you can just ignore him." He seemed to ponder for a moment. "I don't think anyone else will, but who knows with them." The boy smiled once more. "Aizawa sensei ordered us a good meal and there's a lot so it should be good."

The four climbed off of Asta's bed, making their way to the doorway. They followed Midoriya downstairs, the boy muttering to himself about who knows what. When they reached the common room, they noticed everyone else was already spread out amongst the living room, each holding a carton in their hands.

Midoriya brought them over to the dining room table that had the food displayed on it, explaining to them what each meal was. He also offered them chopsticks, but seeing as they were unsure of them, he quickly brought out forks instead. When they all had their own carton and drink, they walked over to join the others.

"Hey, Mimosa and Noelle!" A pink-skinned girl called out. "You two can come join Hagakure and I on the couch. We made sure to save you some room!"

"Thank you!" Mimosa smiled, dragging her cousin to join the two girls on the couch.

"Yo, Yuno, we have there's a spot here if you need one!" A boy with strangely large elbows yelled, waving over to the spot next to him on the floor, his back against a stand. The black-haird mage sighed, but still went over to sit next to the loud teen.

"Here, sit with me." Midoriya quietly offered to Asta who happily followed. Together they plopped onto the floor, a brunette scooting over to make more room.

When everyone was comfortably seated, it was another male who made the first declaration to the group, not Midoriya as the mages had expected.

This one was tall and had a strong build, and there was something metal that seemed to be coming out of his thighs. His glasses shined in the light, and the four were heavily reminded of Klaus, the mother hen of their group. This teen seemed to be extremely similar to him.

"Alright everyone!" He started loudly with authority. "I think it is best if we all introduce ourselves in a circle, everyone saying their name and their quirks. This is the best way to get to know one another. Please make sure to remain quiet so everyone can speak. As class president, I will begin!" Seeing nods of approval, he took a deep breath and pushed his glasses back up his nose.

Introductions were about to begin, and it was going to be a hell of a time.

Oh, I believe that everyone has emotions so there will be angst, but that'll come later. No need to worry about that yet.
