Fate or Coincidence?

Morning came over the city, as many of the hotel guests arose from their slumber; Though Izuku and Floyd did anything but sleep as they were dead beat tired. Their eyes looked to be worn out and looked like they were zombies out of a horror movie.

Izuku had been slumped over on the couch while Floyd had been face planted on the floor.

"Aw man…" Izuku groaned, "... I'm so tired…"

Floyd moaned as he had the journal resting on his head, "Man… My brain feels like it's gonna KO in about a second."

"... Why didn't we just sleep last night…?" Izuku couldn't help but wonder aloud.

Though the question wasn't directed at him, Floyd replied, "How should I know?"

It hadn't been long before the door yawned open, revealing Michiko, Koichi, Kazuho, Akane and Futsuno. "Whoa…" Futsuno said surprised, "... You two look awful!"

"Did you guys get any sleep last night?" Akane asked.

"... No…" They both groaned as they barely moved.

Michiko asked as she removed the journal from Floyd's head, "You sure you're okay, Bossman? Do you need me to get you a cup of coffee? A five hour energy drink maybe?"

Floyd picked up his head as he replied, "Coffee yes. Five hour energy no."

"What were you guys doing that made you not want to sleep?" Koichi asked.

"I was helping Floyd-san in research… And he was helping me train to use my Quirk…" Izuku replied as he rolled over; though he accidentally knocked himself off of the couch as he let out a small scream.

Floyd added as he sat himself up, "No I didn't!"

"You actually did!" Izuku argued, "You were the one that suggested that I jump out the window in order to test out my Quirk, didn't you!?"

Floyd quickly retorted, "I mean I was kidding I didn't know you were gonna go do that!"

"HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IT WAS A JOKE!?" Izuku shouted.

Floyd yelled back, "DID YOU NOT HEAR MY TONE OF VOICE?! IT WAS SARCASM!"

"THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SARCASM!?" He yelled.

"Wow… They're both like brothers arguing…" Futsuno couldn't help but comment.

"Maybe they were a pair in a previous life…" Akane added awkwardly.

Despite her being injured, Michiko stepped in between them and said, "Hey break it up you two! Need I remind you we just survived an encounter with the Villains last night! From the Dolls no less!"

Floyd said, with a pout, "Yeah yeah."

"We should go and wake up Baku-chan and Ki-chan, so we can go over what we found at the agency and discuss what we should do next." Futsuno said.

Izuku and Floyd looked surprised at this. "We?" Izuku said, as he pointed to himself.

"Well of course!" Futsuno said, "Given the fact that you saved Ki-chan and Baku-chan's, you're a part of this as well!"

Michiko had a skeptical look about this, though soon lost her train of thought when Floyd said with a smile, "Well I guess we're a part of the team now!"

"I guess we are!" Izuku said.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go and wake 'em up!" Koichi said.

Floyd added with enthusiasm, "I agree!"

The group soon made their way towards Reina and Katsuki's room; luckily it wasn't that far, as their room was just past the elevator. They eventually reached their room, as they noticed the sign on the knob said "DO NOT DISTURB".

The group had been taken back at this.

"That sign wasn't there last night, right?" Izuku asked.

"No, I don't think so…" Michiko said.

The group suddenly jumped when they saw Floyd lift his leg before shouting, "Hey--SLEEPING BEAUTY! RISE AND GRIND! YOU CAN'T SLEEP THE WHOLE DAY!"

"FLOYD-SAN NO, DON'T--!" Izuku shouted.

SMASH!--The door went making the hinges limp slightly, as Floyd went stomping in.

"EVEN THOUGH I SHOULD RESPECT YOUR PRIVACY BY KNOCKING BUT I AM ASSERTING MY AUTHORITY AS YOUR CLASSMATE/SEMI-FRIEND/RIVAL BY COMING IN ANY--Eh?"

Floyd stopped in his tracks at the sight he had seen before him. Katsuki had been out of bed, shirtless, wearing a set of shorts while Reina was only holding a t-shirt, and having only a blanket covering her body.

At this his face turned red and his nose started to bleed.

Reina let out a scream and Floyd immediately stammered as he said, "OH C-CRAP! I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE--WERE-WELL--!"

"DON'T LOOK YOU PERVERT!!" Reina shouted as she tossed a pillow at him; a little more harder than she should have as it had literally knocked him over.

Floyd started to get back up as he started to run away while he yelled. "SORRY!"

Reina's face turned red as a tomato as she realized Izuku, Futsuno, Akane, Koichi, Kazuho, and Michiko standing at the doorway just as he baffled as he was.

"Oh my…" Futsuno said with a devious smile.

"Oh my indeed…" Akane said as she had been blushing.

Reina started to scream again before Katsuki activated his Quirk, "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU EXTRAS LOOKING AT!?"

"SO--SORRY!!" Izuku shouted as he covered his face before vacating himself from the premise, "I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING I SWEAR!!"

"Ye--Yeah! I'm just gonna go!" Kazuho shouted as she quickly ran out of view.

Koichi exclaimed as his nose started to bleed, "I--IT'S OKAY! I DIDN'T SEE A NIPP-"

"REALLY?!" Michiko shouted as she slapped him, knocking him out, "WHY DID YOU HAVE TO COMMENT ON THE MISS PRIVATE REGIONS?!"

Michiko then notices mark's along Reina's neck and shoulder as she turns red. "WHAT THE--HOOHA?!" She shouted, "MISS! DID YOU LET THIS FILTHY HORNY DOG BITE YOU?!"

"Tha--that's--!" Reina started to say though had been cut off by Katsuki as he gave a look to kill in their direction making Michiko flinch.

"GET THE F*** OUT BEFORE I THROW YOU OUT OF THIS WINDOW YOU DAMN YAKUZA WEIRDO!!!" Katsuki yelled as his hands started to spark aggressively.

"THE HELL DID YOU CALL ME?!" Michiko shouted as her Quirk came out.

As the commotion was going on, Floyd came back into view as his nose had been bleeding profusely, "Michiko, let's get out-oh come on!"

"WHAT DID I JUST SAY!?" Reina shouted as she started to use her Quirk to throw various objects in the room at Floyd, causing him to dodge each one, each item occasionally hitting him, "GET OUT YOU PERVERTED INKY DOOFUS!!"

Floyd yelled as he did his best to block the oncoming objects, "WHAT WAS THAT?! I'LL END YOU!!"

***

-Ten Minutes Later; Hotel Cafeteria Area-

Everything seemed to have calmed down, as they were finally able to give Reina and Katsuki the privacy they needed to put on some clothes that they had packed prior to when they started this. Katsuki had been wearing a dark blue and white jersey with a dark gray tank top and a set of green ripped design pants, while Reina had on a black jacket with her cheshire hoodie, and a set of jeans, rolled up slightly revealing her ankles.

Her hair had been tied back into her usual ponytail as she couldn't help but glare at Floyd.

Floyd, who had his nose plugged, said as he ate his breakfast, "I said I was sorry.."

"You should be!" Reina said, "I told you once, I told you a thousand times--" She soon yelled, "--THIS IS WHY NORMAL PEOPLE DON'T KICK DOWN DOORS!!"

Floyd yelled back at her, "WELL SORRY FOR BEING A PROTECTIVE FRIEND!"

"PROTECTIVE MY ASS, YOU INVADED SOMEONE'S PRIVACY!!" She yelled, "MY PRIVACY!"

He shouted, "AGAIN SORRY!"

"Guys, stop!" Izuku said, pushing the two of them back from each other, "We're getting a lot of looks from other people."

"YOU HAD NO RIGHT IN DOING SO!!" Reina exclaimed.

Floyd shouted to Reina as he flipped her off, "FOR YOUR INFORMATION YOU'VE BEEN KEEPING SECRETS FROM ME AND IZU! SO I HAD A RIGHT TO DO SO!"

"I WAS GONNA TELL YOU ABOUT THAT YOU DUMBASS, BUT AGAIN YOU KICKED DOWN THE DOOR!" Reina yelled as she slapped him across the face.

"... Hate to say it, but she's got you there bossman." Michiko stated awkwardly.

Floyd said with a pout, "Bite me."

"Still though…" Izuku said as his face turned red, "... After--You know what… Does that mean, you and Kaa-chan are…" He cleared his throat, "... Well, you know… Together, together?"

Reina turned red, as she started to stammer. Though before she could reply, Katsuki was quick to beat her to it.

"That's right Deku!" He said pridefully, putting his arm around her shoulders as to bring her closer to him, "Starting today, Butterfly here is my girlfriend now!

"Butterfly?" Reina said with her face turning red.

"BUTTERFLY!?" Michiko, Izuku, Koichi, Kazuho and Floyd shouted.

"Aw, that's wonderful!" Futsuno cheered, "I knew you two would end up together! Congratulations!"

"Tha--Thanks I guess." Reina said sounding embarrassed.

Floyd shouted at Katsuki, "Again with the nicknames?! Can't you give people a normal name like a normal person?!"

"LIKE YOUR ONE TO TALK ABOUT NORMAL!!" Reina shouted angrily, making Floyd freeze up a little.

"Oh bite me half-breed!" Katsuki said with a sly smile, "You're just jealous that I got some last night and you didn't!"

Reina and Izuku both turned red at this remark, while Floyd had turned into a cherry; Michiko, Koichi and Kazuho had the same reactions.

"He actually said it!?" Koichi shouted.

"Out in the open too!?" Kazuho added.

"As always Kaa-chan is so bold!" Izuku exclaimed as he covered his mouth as his face was practically colored red.

"Katsuki-kun, you can't just say things like that so casually!" Reina shouted as she started to hit him on the arm.

"What? It's true isn't it?" Katsuki said to her teasingly.

"We're in public for God's sake!!" Reina shouted as she still sounded embarrassed.

Michiko added as her face had been red as well, "Just like a filthy dog."

"I CAN GET SOME JUST FINE!" Floyd yelled before he eyed Katsuki suspiciously, "Were you safe about it, at least?"

Katsuki only scoffed before he replied, "Please, I always come prepared. I'm not an idiot, you know."

Floyd's eyebrow twitched as he shouted, "Hey! What are you implying?!"

"YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I'M IMPLYING YA DAMN INKHEAD!" Katsuki yelled.

"WHY YOU LITTLE-" Floyd shouted.

Right when the two were about to go at it, they were taken back when someone had taken out a spray bottle and sprayed it in their eyes.

"Down boys!" Michiko shouted as she had been holding the bottle, "We got more important matters to deal with right now!"

Katsuki clicked his tongue, "Fine."

Floyd scoffed as he said, "Yeah."

"So to recap…" Akane said, "... Nouki-san is trying to find the man in charge of the League of Villains Tomura Shigaraki… Not only that, the Pro Hero the Phantom Witch who is believed to be dead--"

"--She's not!" Michiko and Floyd shouted.

"We saw her last night, as plain as day!" Michiko said.

"Wait, what?" Reina said, "She was there? For real?"

"It's true Reina-chan." Izuku said, "But, for some reason, she put you to sleep when she arrived to help."

Reina only looked shocked, "Why would she do that?"

"We're not sure…" Izuku replied sadly, "... I'm sorry."

"... So back to it then…" Futsuno said, "... The only thing that connects us to the League of Villains, is the journal that Ki-chan found, belonging to… Whoever this Alcina is."

Reina soon looked to Floyd, "... Did you find anything useful? About Penny-san I mean?"

Floyd sighed as he replied, while flipping through the pages, "Well not really except for one part. Turns out she looked up to my Aunt in the way Izuku looks up to All Might."

"What!?" Reina exclaimed, swiping the book from him. She looked to the page she was on and she saw what appeared to be a photo of Penny on its page as well as a whole passage.

"... Penelope is more than our friend… She's our family… I would do anything to protect her… As she has done with me and her..." Is what Reina read aloud, "... Does that mean they knew each other? And what does she mean by our family, and who is this other person she's talking about?"

Floyd replied, "That's what I'm wondering about myself."

"... Sorry to say but it doesn't look like there's nothing on what the Phantom Witch was looking into." Izuku stated sadly.

"Damn it…" Katsuki said, "Does that mean we're back to square one?"

Reina couldn't help but look down at this as flipped through the pages; though it wasn't long before she lost her look as she noticed something in the passage.

"What's this!?" She exclaimed.

"Reina-chan!?" Izuku exclaimed, noticing the look on her face, "What is it?"

It was there, Reina read a passage out loud to the group, which put them into shock.

"I'm afraid I'm going to have to break my promise to Toshinari and Penny. I wish there was another way, but I'm all out of options. The only way for them to live… As if I don't exist."

Reina looked horrified as she read these words again, and the group held the same expression she did. "Toshinari?" Kazuho said shocked, "Does… She mean All Might?"

"... I think so…" Koichi said.

"So than… She knew All Might too?" Michiko said.

"The only way for them to live, is if I don't exist?" Izuku repeated, "Who is she talking about? What does she mean by that?"

"I don't think that's the question we should be asking…" Floyd said, still shocked, "...Did this Alcina person… Betray my Aunt and All Might?"

Reina looked at him shocked, "But that doesn't make any sense! You just said, she looked up to your Aunt!"

Floyd reassured her as he said, "Yeah but it says here that she had to break her promise to then..that usually means someone will betray someone."

"That's too early to go deciding that!" Reina countered, "Unless there's hard evidence on this, than we can't just assign blame!"

"It's True Bossman..maybe there was a situation in which Alcina had to go in order to protect All Might and your Aunt.." Michiko suggested.

"That's also a possibility.." Floyd repiled, "Maybe someone close to her?"

Futsuno sighed, "Look, whether or not if Alcina betrayed All Might and Penny, she's the only lead we have to the League of Villains. I say we look over old records on the Witch's case. See if there's anything we missed."

"I wish we could ask the Witch herself…" Koichi said, "... Though like Michiko said, she just vanished!"

Michiko couldn't help but say angrily, "Don't remind me."

"Though it doesn't sound like a bad idea." Katsuki said, "Deskie, where did you say you found the files from last night?"

"From my fathers old office." Futsuno replied, "He helped out with a lot of other Heroes equipment as well as cases. He always said the Phantom Witch was his favorite associate."

"Is it back at Herolight Tech?" Reina asked her.

"No. He has a second office here in Hosu." Futsuno replied, "It's still there. Mom never did want to get rid of it, after him and my brother passed. I know the access codes to get inside so it should be a snap."

Izuku's eyes brightened, "Does that mean--!?"

"Yup!" Akane replied with a smile, "You get to see the previous CEO's office! Consider it your own private tour!"

"... It's not exactly one since we're gonna be breaking and entering…" Kazuho said awkwardly.

"Wouldn't be the first time." Michiko said with a shrug.

Izuku couldn't help but be excited at this as his eyes sparkled. Floyd seemed to get excited too as he said, "Oh man this is going to be great!"

"Wait!" Koichi said, "What about the others? Michiko's parents and our boss? They know that you snuck off last night and told Eraserhead, so what do we do?"

Reina and Katsuki both smiled at one another before they both replied, "We give them the slip."

***

The car pulled up to the front of the hotel, and Shota came stomping out of it, along with Sonya, Malcolm, Knuckleduster and Floyd's parents, Josephine and Joji as well as Oda. The minute they went through the door, Excelsior along with Gran Torino had been seen at the front of the desk.

"Oh Shota! Joji! Josephine! Malcolm, Sonya and Oda too! I take it y--" before he could speak, Josphine sucker punched the old man in the face, surprising even Gran Torino.

"WHAT THE HELL, MARTIN?! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING PUTTING MY SON, MICHIKO AND REINA-CHAN IN DANGER!" Josphine shouted.

"Along with involving my students and the Vigilantes!" Shota shouted, "WHICH BY THE WAY, SHE IS IN MY CARE!!"

Excelsior groaned as he stood, " Look I know you two are upset, rest assured.. Me and Gran Torino took care of things..."

"Where are they!?" Shota said, sounding passive aggressive.

Gran Torino replied, "Calm down Aizawa, they're alright."

Josephine said, "WHERE ARE THEY?!"

"Hey honey! Easy. You're causing a scene." Joji said.

Knuckleduster said, "I get you're concerned, Aihara. But there is no way to handle this."

"Oh don't worry…" Excelsior said, "...They're just in the cafeteria having breakfast."

"WELL LET'S GO THEN!" Josephine shouted as she made a mad dash only to be stopped by Aizawa and Sonya.

"You wait here, I'm gonna go give Reina a piece of my mind first." Shota told her.

"Besides you're not in the right head now to lecture them, Josie." Sonya added

Josephine said with a growl, "Fine."

"Now bring it down honey…" Joji said to her calmly, "... Remember what we talked about."

Shota stomped over to the cafeteria, kicking down the doors making most of the customers jump. Only to find… Reina nor her friends were nowhere to be seen.

Shota couldn't help but growl, "Damn it Reina…" He soon walked back out of the cafeteria before telling the others, "They're gone!"

"Martin...Where are the kids?" Josephine asked as her head turned.

Excelsior flinched as he said as innocently as he could, "Did I say they were eating? I meant they just left!"

"THEY WHAT!?" Josephine, Oda, Malcolm and Sonya yelled.

"Where did they go?!" Shota said activating his Quirk.

Gran Torino soon replied, "Now now..there's no need for--"

"Do you even realize the danger she's in right now!?" Shota told them, "If I don't find her soon, she'll be taken!"

Excelsior looked at him shocked, "Taken?!"

"Exactly!" Josephine shouted before she grabbed him by the neck of his shirt, "So either you tell us where my baby boy went!"

"Now hold on just a damn minute here!" Excelsior said, "Those kids didn't say anything about where they were going!"

Sonya yelled "THEY NEVER TOLD YOU?!"

"Oh great...this is even more problematic.." Oda said before turning to Gran Torino "I thought you said you two had this covered? Couldn't you stop them?"

Gran Torino gave his reply, "I could have but from the sound of the kid's voice. It looked Urgent."

Knuckleduster said, "Tch, remind me to knock the hell out of those three later.."

Shota said as he couldn't help but sneer, "I swear… When I find that girl, she's gonna be in a world of trouble."

The group had managed to slip past the front desk as they made their way to the offices; they first stopped by the hospital to pick up Violet and Victor as they had been discharged and thankfully only had minor injuries pertaining to last night's events, and they were quick to fill them on what they found in Alcina's journal.

It didn't stop them to overthink on what had gone down that same day. As Akane had driven them towards the offices, Violet and Victor sat on the van floor as they were fixing up their equipment, as well as the Thunderstorms.

"This doesn't make any sense at all!" Victor said, "No computer program in the world is supposed to get through our tech!"

"I know right?" Violet said, "It's super weird!"

"I'm really glad to see you two are okay, but are you sure you aren't overthinking on this?" Reina asked them, "You've been at this thing since we left the hospital."

"Sorry Nouki-san, it's just we're really bothered by this!" Violet said, "Offended even!"

"So one little bug got through your tech." Koichi said, "It's no big deal."

"No, no, this is a HUGE deal for us!" Victor said, "Do you have any idea, the hours Violet and I put in to make sure our own firewalls have firewalls in our network!?"

"Last night, that crocodile lady mentioned that name, the Virus!" Violet soon said, "Now Victor and I heard about this guy from various sources of ours, and we made sure that our technology is protected!"

Victor soon stated, "For a breach to happen right under our very noses could not only tarnish our name as Vigilantes, but our technology, our projects for Pro Heroes in Herolight Tech could very well be compromised!"

"The Virus?" Izuku said surprised, "Isn't that the same name of the Villain that was able to hack into a government and military database five years ago?"

"The very same!" Violet and Victor said.

Floyd said as he shuddered, "That was some scary shit back then."

Michiko couldn't help but say shocked, "I'm surprised that he did such an impossible feat."

"Are you sure you guys are talking about the same Virus?" Katsuki said, "Because whoever this person was able to put a bus driver into some sort of daze and make his driving look like something out of GTA!"

Izuku and Floyd's eyes widened at this. "You mean that bus you and Reina-chan stopped from crashing!?" Izuku exclaimed, "The Virus did that!?"

"Of course you'd know that you're a damn nerd." Katsuki said.

Floyd said as his jaw seemingly dropped, "For real?"

"Ye-yeah…" Reina said as she rubbed her elbow nervously, "And, he may have called me out on the driver's phone and got a picture of me."

"WHAT!?" Izuku and Floyd shouted.

Floyd couldn't help but shout in Reina's face, "I'LL GIVE EM THE SMOKE!"

"STOP YELLING!!" Reina exclaimed.

"NO!" Floyd retaliated.

"That's odd." Victor said, "The Virus was never known to hypnotize people before."

"Guess he picked up that for five years of being a Villain?" Violet suggested.

"Does anyone at least have an idea on what this Virus guy looks like?" Kazuho asked.

"I'm afraid not. No one even knows where the guy came from before he started to make a name for himself." Futsuno replied as she turned in her seat, "Police never even bothered to look for the guy. They say when someone sees the Viruses face something bad happens to them. Some of the Pros are even scared of this guy."

Katsuki couldn't help but click his tongue at this, "Are you kidding me? That's some superstitious BS."

"BS or not it still has authorities running scared of him." Futsuno said.

Michiko couldn't help but give a skeptical look as she looked over to Futsuno as she had noticed her tone of voice, "You seem like you know this sort of thing.."

"Yes well, other Pros I've worked with dealt with this guy, either that or they're terrified of him like I said." Futsuno said.

"I see.." Michiko replied.

They soon felt the van slow down, before it came to a complete halt; they saw that they had stopped in front of a five story building with most of the windows boarded up. The paint along the walls looked to be faded, and looked to be covered in graffiti.

"Well, this is the place." Akane said as she stepped out of the car.

"Looks… Different from what I imagined." Kazuho commented.

Floyd took notice of the graffiti on the walls as he couldn't help but comment, "yeah that explains the graffiti.."

"Lead the way Genno-san." Reina said, turning to her.

"Of course!" Futsuno said with a bow, "Let us venture forth shall we?"

The group nodded before they proceeded inside the building. The place smelled of mold, and crawling with cockroaches as well as the occasional rats, which couldn't help but Michiko and Kazuho squeal out of fright as they leaped onto Floyd, and Koichi out of fright.

"Uhh..Michi?" Floyd said.

Michiko screamed fearfully, "y-yes-B-Bossman!?"

"You can retract your claws off me.." Floyd said as he felt blood dripping on his head.

Michiko shouted, "oh sorry! It's just that I haven't gotten over my fear of rats!"

A rat soon came onto Michiko's foot making her scream and activate her Quirk as she shouted, "BACK AWAY!"

"EVANS-SAN YOUR QUIRK!" Izuku yelled.

Floyd yelled as he went to hold her back, "Easy! Your gonna poke someone's eye out, you loon!"

Michiko yelled as she went at the horde of rats, "BEGONE THOT!!"

"Kazuho, there, there." Koichi said, "It's just a rat."

"THEY ONLY BRING DISEASE AND FAMINE!" Kazuho shouted as she hastily climbed up onto his shoulder, "DON'T YOU KNOW THAT!?"

"OW!" Koichi exclaimed, "THAT'S MY HAIR YOU'RE GRABBING!"

Katsuki and Reina watched from the staircase as they were watching what had just transpired; they just looked surprised.

"What the hell are they doing?" Katsuki wondered aloud.

"I have no idea…" Reina said.

"Hey you guys!" Akane called out, "We're almost to the office!"

"Yeah so hurry it up!" Futsuno said.

Floyd shouted as he tried to get Michiko to calm down, "Michiko! Down girl!"

Michiko exclaimed, "BEGONE! BEGONE I SAY!"

"WILL YOU KNOCK IT OFF!?" Katsuki shouted.

Floyd shouted at him, "SHUT THE HELL UP, PISS FOR BRAINS! WHO ASKED YA?!"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME HALF-BREED, I'LL KILL YOU!!" He yelled.

"DO IT, PUSSY!" Floyd shouted as he flipped him off.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Reina shouted. She didn't hesitate to grab a rat from the floor before she threw it right to Floyd's face, before she hit Katsuki on the head with her sheathed blade. At this Floyd started to freak out as he struggled to get the rat off of his face as it had been panicking like he was.

Floyd shouted as he ran back and forth, "GEEZ, GET IT OFF! GETT IT OFF!"

"IT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR TRYING TO START A FIGHT!" Reina shouted at him, "DON'T MAKE ME THROW ANOTHER RAT AT YOU!"

Floyd yelled at her as he tried to get the rat off of him, "Don't you dare!"

"What's even happening right now?" Izuku, Futsuno and Akane thought at the same time as they watched this scene play out.

The group soon reached the second floor as they saw that the doors had been bolted; held together with that of a keypad and the door opened with a click. They stepped into the office as they noticed that most of it had been covered in dust and cobwebs, though other than that, it had been your standard office.

The group looked around noticing the couple of spiders and moths that fluttered.

"Sorry for the state of the office." Futsuno said, "We meant to clean it up every few months, but we got caught up with life's work."

"I can see that." Reina said.

"Feel free to take a look around." Akane said, "You can find the files you want in the drawers. But I must ask you to put them all back where you found it when your done."

"Of course." Reina said with a nod.

"Can you get her off of you now?" Katsuki asked Floyd as Michiko was practically glued to his face.

Floyd said with his voice muffled, "Fine. Get off now Michiko."

Michiko said as her voice shook, "Y-yes bossman."

They started to look around the office going through the files within the drawers, flipping through the papers in the folders. Though most of the things they looked through didn't have info pertaining to the League of Villains or anything.

They had found info pertaining to other Villains though not the ones they were looking for.

"I never imagined the previous CEO would collect so many case files." Izuku said, amazed as his eyes sparkled, "Than again I would've expected nothing less from a Hero support company!"

Floyd said to Izuku, "You said it, Freckles"

Reina couldn't help but smile at the way they were acting as she looked through one of the file drawers. She soon noticed a folder with a certain name that she was all too familiar with.

"Nakagata…? Why is… This here?"

She removed the file from the drawer before she put the folder on the table. "Hey, what's wrong?" Katsuki asked her as he noticed her change in posture, "Did you find something?"

"Maybe." Reina replied.

She opened the folder, and saw several papers inside; though it wasn't anything written instead it was photographs. They looked to be landmarks of Nakagata; photos of the town and its people. One last photo looked to be a group photo of the festival, but it looked as though one of the faces had been missing.

"That's odd…" Izuku said looking at the photo, "... Why is this person's face missing?"

"And what was the CEO doing with photos from a ghost town?" Victor said.

"Ghost town?" Katsuki said surprised.

"You mean, you didn't hear?" Violet said, "Nakagata is a town that disappeared off the face of the Earth years ago."

"But why?" Izuku asked.

"We're not sure." Akane said with a shrug, "Some say the town never existed to begin with, others have different stories to the place. Most of them being haunted, like you know, the sort of tale you tell over a campfire."

Floyd said as he shuddered, "Geez, next your gonna ask is are you afraid of the dark."

"Oh you watched that show too?" Violet asked.

Floyd flinched at this as he said, "Dude, I was only joking!"

Michiko added, "He was."

Reina looked closely at the images as she noticed one of the pictures contained that of a Shrine, with a priest standing in front of it.

"Wait…" Reina said while picking up the photo, "... That person… This place… I've… I've seen this before…"

The image she held in her hands suddenly started to appear as static in Reina's line of vision. The sound of a familiar ring started to go off, causing Reina to cry out in agony, making everyone jump.

It hadn't been long before she fell into darkness, with her name being called out.

***

"Rei-chan!"

Reina's eyes shot open at the sound of her name, but she found herself still standing instead of being on the ground. She saw she had been standing in front of a mirror, with her appearance changed into that of a child again. Though she looked to be wearing a different outfit, as she looked to be in a yukata in the color of purple with green flowers. She saw herself having difficulty with putting on a hairpin that looked similar to balloons; in the mirror's reflection, she saw a lantern sitting on a stool with the red cap sitting on it.

"What…?"

KNOCK, KNOCK.

She felt herself turn to the door, of what she assumed was the door to her room.

"Rei-chan?" A familiar voice called out, "Are you ready yet? We're gonna be going soon."

She heard herself let out a groan, "I got my hairpin stuck!"

"Well are you dressed? I can help you get it out."

"Yeah, I'm dressed! And I need help!"

"Okay, I'm coming in."

The door clicked open, and there she saw him; the same little boy she was always so used to seeing though she saw him in a different outfit. Instead he had on a dark blue college shirt with short light brown khakis; though he wasn't wearing his red hat, instead he had on a straw hat with a red band.

He couldn't help but laugh and shake his head a little, "You are hopeless when it comes to this kind of stuff huh?"

Reina gave him a pout causing him to laugh, before she saw hands go over her head. She felt her hair tug a little before she felt relief.

"There you go." The Boy said, "All fixed up."

"Thank you!" Reina said with a smile, "You're my Hero!"

The Boy chuckled as his face turned a little red, "Oh stop it Rei-chan!"

Reina smiled to the Boy, "I can't wait to go! I still can't believe she said yes!"

"Well of course she did!" He said, "No one can resist an adorable and pretty girl like you!"

She could feel her face heat up with embarrassment as she looked to the floor. She soon felt his hand on her head again, though this time he had been giving her a pat.

"Come on Rei-chan." He said to her with a smile, "Let's go before they leave us behind."

She felt herself nod her head, "I bet I can beat you in the ring toss this time!"

The Boy laughed, "Oh can you?"

"I've been practicing a lot with oneechan when I heard about the festival from the Priest! I think I can beat you this time!!"

Reina had been put into shock at this; she felt her body split from her child self as she stood there in complete and utter shock by what she had said. She watched herself leave with the boy.

The Boy soon said with a smile, "Ooo, that's a challenge, I'll happily accept! But you should know… You're oniichan is gonna be giving it his all!"

At this the teen only looked more shocked as they both left the room with her child self holding the red hat; her jaw had been dropped slightly as she had been processing this.

"A brother… And a sister…? I have… A brother and a sister…!? Like… For real!?"

She looked to where the boy once was as it seemed to have finally hit her.

"... That Boy… He's… Actually my brother…? My real brother…? That's why… That's why he felt so familiar, that's why… I felt like I knew him!"

She soon looked to the door, running towards it.

"I have to find out who he is!"

The very minute she opened the door, she had been pushed back by what looked to be an explosion of flames, making her cry out in agony. She managed to recover from the blast as she groaned; just as she sat herself up, the world around her started to lose its color. The only thing that seemed to have kept it, were the flames before her, that were in the same color as the blood in her veins.

"Wha-What!? What's happening!?"

She was startled when she heard the sound of something crashing, followed by heavy footsteps. She felt her body begin to shake. There beyond the flames stood the beast; the beast she had seen many times before. It let out a groan as it had been trying to breathe.

Reina seemed to have gone pale, as she the beast turned towards her, as it looked to her; eyes filled with red like that of the flames, yet it's eyes bared no life.

"sO HunGRy… nEEd… MEat… nEEd… mEAt…"

Reina began to tremble as she backed up; her back hit the wall, as she started to hyperventilate. The beast went through the flames going towards her, reaching out to her.

"gIVe mE… MEat…! nOW!!"

Reina let out a scream as the beast came charging at her, baring its teeth.

"Rei…!... Eina…! Reina!"

Reina let out a gasp, as she had been short on breath; The group had been standing over her with concern written on their faces. She was being held in Katsuki's arms as he looked just as worried as they were.

"Reina-chan!" Izuku exclaimed, "Are you okay!?"

"Seriously, you gotta stop scaring us like that!" Floyd told her.

The group had been taken back when Reina's eyes started to fill up with tears; though despite this, they saw that she had been smiling.

"Nouki-chan!?" Koichi said, "What's wrong, what are you crying for!?"

"Ass-Flasher, what did you do!?" Michiko shouted.

"Why do you assume that it was me!?" Kazuho shouted.

"Ki-chan, why are you upset?" Futsuno asked.

Reina suddenly threw her arms around Katsuki making him freeze up, as she started to cry into his shoulder; he put his arms around her as her body shook a little.

"I remember…" She said as her voice cracked a little, "... I really remember… I have a brother and sister… I actually have an older brother and sister…"

The group's eyes widened at this, as they looked shocked. "Siblings?" Michiko said, "You really have siblings?"

Reina nodded as she tightened her grip on Katsuki, at this everyone's eyes brightened. "Reina-chan! That's great!" Izuku said, "I'm so glad for you!"

"Mazel tov to you Reina-chan!" Floyd said, "Granted we didn't find what we were looking for, but you were able to remember something, that's all that matters!"

Katsuki only smiled as he kissed her on the head, "... Good job Reina. I knew something would come back."

The group celebrated this, though they failed to notice that Futsuno had been looking onto Reina and Katsuki in particular, as she appeared to have a smile on her face before she chuckled to herself.
