A Hero For All

Reunion

(Damn. This story's been exploding in popularity recently. Was it the cover? I bet it was the cover. Anyway, y'all already know what this is)

"WAKE UP BOYS!!"

"AH!" Izuku woke up with a start and a shout. He groaned as he heard the sounds of loud clanging coming from outside the tent. To his right, Arthur groaned in frustration and sat up. The older American yawned and stretched his limbs, before finally standing up and grabbing his hat. He sighed, rubbing the drowsiness out of his eyes, before stepping outside. Izuku followed not long after.

Once outside, he could see several other gang members in similar states of grogginess, groaning and yawning being heard all around. In the center of camp, looking more alive than Izuku had ever seen him, was a beaming Dutch. The older man had a pot in one hand and a wooden spoon in the other, banging them together to create a highly effective make-shift drum. "Yeah! Alright! Wake up, all o' you!" He yelled, banging the spoon against the pot. Izuku flinched. The sound was like nails against a chalkboard to his ears...

Dutch finally stopped once Ms. Grimshaw marched over and wrestled the pot out of Dutch's hands, throwing it to the ground after she did so. "DUTCH VAN DER LINDE!" She screeched, hot fury written across her face. "WHAT IN THE LORD'S GOOD NAME HAS GOTTEN YOU OH SO EXCITED THAT YOU FIND IT NECESSARY TO WAKE THE REST OF US UP AT THIS UNGODLY HOUR!?"

Dutch raised his hands in defense, a nervous look on his face. "Oh, Calm down, woman! No harm done!" He reasoned lamely. This only served to anger Ms. Grimshaw even more. "OH, THERE WILL BE HARM DONE WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU-!"

"CALM DOWN!"

Arthur's loud yell knocked the two out of their fight, as well as wake up the rest of the gang. He sighed, running a hand over his face. "Dutch, just say what you wanna say so we can all make it outta this with our eardrums still workin'..." he said exasperatedly. Dutch cleared his throat.

"Ahem! Thank you, Mr. Morgan! As I was saying!" He announced, that unparalleled charisma seeping out of him and drawing everyone's attention back to him. "I think it's about time we discuss... The Plan..." he said dramatically, even pausing for effect. The rest of the gang was confused, glancing at each other uncertainly. Dutch, however, was undeterred.

"Now, I was in the city just a few hours ago, and I saw somethin'. It was an ad!" He said excitedly, reaching into his breast pocket. Arthur opened his mouth to say something, but Dutch cut him off. "Oh, but not just any ad! It was an ad for a new start! A new... beginning!" He announced. This caught everyone's attention, prompting them to look between themselves and whisper excitedly. Dutch beamed. "A place where we can settle down and live the rest of our lives in peace and quiet!" This only served to double the room's excitement, everyone else hanging onto Dutch's every word. Next to Izuku, Arthur merely grunted.

"What is this place, you ask? Well, I'll tell you!"

He unfurled the ad, holding it out in front of him, revealing a stylish pamphlet decorated with beaches and blue waves, as well as palm trees and bright yellow informational boxes . Dutch gave a face splitting grin.

"TAHITI!"

"....Where?" Uncle asked, scratching his rear. Dutch's smile faltered.
