There And Back Again [Black Clover x BNHA]

Sixth Intermission

To say that Class 1-A was an absolute wreck would be an understatement. The second that the portals had closed chaos had erupted within the common room. Panicked shouts rang out, the students desperately grasping at empty air for something, anything, to tell them that it was a lie.

Aizawa had immediately begun counting his children, bringing them close together when the realization that their friends had actually been taken started to set in. Holding onto their sensei tightly, capture weapon wrapped around them all, he shakily came to the conclusion with the others who exactly were missing.

"Midoriya... Bakugou... Iida... Kirishima... Asui... Uraraka... and all the mages." The erasure hero slowly said, his tearful students staring at the ground as if the portals would magically reappear. However, he suddenly was struck with panic when he realized another, very precious, presence was missing.

"Where is Eri?!"

~*~*~*~*~

No one got any sleep that night, instead all piling together on the living room floor with pillows and blankets, keeping a hold on one another just in case someone else was pulled away. Aizawa was in the kitchen going over the details with Nezu, All Might, and the other teachers, having been called once the severity of what had happened was realized.

Hizashi and Nemuri were trying to calm down the erasure hero, who had been immediately sent into panicked father mode when he realized his ward was gone as well as his other problem children. For all he had previously denied, this was the first class that he was truly willing to die for and cared with his entire being about.

"Aizawa!" Hizashi hissed, trying to keep his voice low so as to not panic the rest of the students more than they already were. His hand held on firmly to the long-haired man's shoulder. "I know this is horrible and trust me, we all are devastated. But you gotta keep it together for the rest of the little listeners. They're going to need you in the coming days."

"He's right Shouta," Nemuri added, giving him a back hug, "We have to trust that the mages will protect our kids just like we did for them. We'll figure out how to get them back, but you should go to your students who are sitting in that other room. They're the quietest I've ever seen them. And that should tell you something."

Aizawa's shoulders slumped, rage and despair waging within his mind. On one hand he wanted to push his friends aside and go charging out after his missing kids, but they still had no idea on who was playing these games with them. And on the other, he wanted to protect the kids he had remaining from being taken from right out under him. They had already seen so much in their short lives, this wasn't going to help any of the PTSD they already dealt with.

Shrugging off Hizashi and Nemuri, he made his way out to the living room, leaving the other teachers to discuss what should be done next. Upon entering, all of his students looked up at him with red-rimmed eyes, clinging close to one another. He sighed, forcing himself to remain stoic.

"W-We're going to get t-them back, right?" Ashido said, her voice wobbly as tears threatened to spill once more. Hagakure held her close while Kaminari rested a hand on her shoulder.

Aizawa's heart broke to hear the normally confident and bubbly girl reduced to such a state. "In time, I fully believe we will. Whoever is doing this will not get away with it. I swear to you on my life, I will bring them back."

His students looked up at him with such trust that Aizawa felt guilty for making such a promise when he wasn't even sure he would be able to keep it. Sighing, he made his way into the group's pile, sitting down next to Tokoyami when he moved over and accepted the blanket that Ojiro passed his way.

With his students he spent the rest of the night, watching over them closely as they began to fall asleep one by one. He swore to himself he would remain vigilant, unwilling to let anyone else go so easily. For he knew, deep in his heart, that this was only a first wave of many to come.

I have the server added to this chapter I believe. I attached an external link but if that doesn't work go to my profile and the link is there and reliably works.

It's a work in progress and will be changed as we go on, but I'd love for you guys to join me here and to chat about everything! The channels give brief descriptions of what will happen in that area, but like I said, we will improve on this as we go.

Other than that, Aizawa and his children be suffering this time around and I have no shame. Thank you all for everything!
