Story Description
Marinette Dupain-Cheng stands out in Class 1-A-not because she tries to, but because she can't help it. Her quiet confidence, sharp eyes, and carefully braided blue-black hair make her unforgettable. She moves through U.A. like someone who has already survived things no hero class prepares you for. In combat training, she's precise. In silence, she's observant. And when danger comes, she doesn't freeze.
Neither does the man who returns from her past.
During the USJ attack, chaos erupts as the League of Villains overwhelms the students. Just as Shigaraki Tomura reaches out to kill Izumi Midoriya, a single gunshot cuts through the panic. Not a hero quirk. Not Snipe.
A bullet.
Shigaraki's hand explodes away from Izumi's shoulder, and everyone turns to see Izuku Morgan-Marinette, Toru, and Setsuna's fiancé-standing at the entrance, a golden gun still smoking in his grip. The son of Arthur Morgan, a man forged by violence and consequence, Izuku carries himself like someone who has already crossed lines he can never uncross.
Heroes stare.
Villains hesitate.
And the past comes rushing back.
Izumi, Katsuki, Ochaco, Shoto, and Denki recognize him instantly-the boy who vanished, the boy whispered about, the boy who was abandoned when he didn't fit the image of a "proper hero." A boy who learned the hard way that some heroes are fake, and some crowds only cheer when you bleed quietly.
He judged.
He hunted.
And he killed those who wore hero titles without hero souls.
Now he stands in U.A. again-not as a student, not as a villain, but as something far more dangerous: a man who has already paid for his sins and decided who deserves mercy.
As Marinette, Toru, and Setsuna break down and rush into his arms, crying against his chest, the truth becomes impossible to ignore. This isn't a reunion born of nostalgia-it's one born of survival. Of choices made in blood and silence. Of love that endured despite distance, guilt, and fear.
