Aftermath of war

Shinta headed off towards where the fight took place once she collected her bearings. Once she arrived and she got a look at all the destruction she felt terrible. As she walked through the rubble she found the spot where Bakugo had landed after the blow from Shigaraki and she knelt down next to the stain of blood that was there. "Papa bear I'm so sorry. If I would've known I would have tried to warn you guys or something. I will make this right. I know you guys wanted me back at UA but I can't risk putting that target on you guys" she said like she was talking to him as she stared at the blood stain. Close by she say a few scraps of metal so she collected them up using her quirk she turned the scrap metal into a dog tag before burning Bakugo into it. "This will stay as my reminder of who I lost due to him. I wont let him take anyone else from me. I can't let it happen" she said before flying off to the woods she didn't know where to go. She just had to be away from the others. Meanwhile Bakugo finally wakes up and forces his way to go check on Deku even though he needs to be resting still. Once they got him settled down he looked around realizing he didn't see Shinta "where is she? Where's Shinta?" He asked starting to get aggravated again. "We don't know. She was taken to another hospital for the less critical heroes. I'm sure she is fine. Why don't you try to call her?" Iida said to him and Bakugo looked concerned and pulled out his phone. He sent a message first ~hey teddy bear, I'm awake. Deku is alright just still sleeping. Please let us know your ok~ 

The message sent but unlike normal she didn't respond. It didn't even show as read just delivered. She always read his messages almost right after he saw they were delivered. He sat there staring at the screen hoping it would change but it hadn't yet "maybe her phones dead. I'll try again later" he said trying to not let it bother him. 'Where is she? What happened out there? She always answers with in seconds or at least reads my messages' he kept thinking to himself. The others could tell how much it was bothering him. "If we get ahold of her or see her we will let her know your ok and really want to see her" Iida said before the group took their leave to let the angry boy rest 'once I'm cleared I'll have to try to go find her' he thought before finally closing his eyes. Over the next few weeks things just went from bad to worse. All for one escaped from Tartarus, heroes began to resign. After All for one escaped he also released other villains to help stir up trouble through out Japan. Things were looking dark for the hero's, UA had become more or a safe haven at this point for those effected by the destruction the villains had caused. The Baku Squad had been looking for Shinta ever since they were cleared from the hospital. They would hear of sighting when villains would get conveniently dropped off at police stations or get apprehended. Yet every time they would arrive to the scene she would be gone. Bakugo had called and texted her so much he lost count over those weeks. He started to lose hope of finding her and All might saw him walking back towards to dorms looking exhausted. "Bakugo any luck today?" He asked him and he just shook his head no. "We got there as fast as we could but by than she was gone. I found one of her feathers though, I'm not giving up on her" he said and all might chuckled some "I knew you wouldn't. I hate to add more to your plate but we need to bring young Midoriya back as well. They both need us, they just don't understand that. Please bring them home" He said before walking off "yea, yea I'm trying" he grumbles before turning in for the night. 

Shinta had been hiding out in the woods she felt it was for the best. She had made herself a safe spot in an old tree she hollowed out. She didn't have much on her, the day of the battle she left most things behind her phone included. Afraid to go back to the hideout to get any of her belongings she went with out. It was starting to get a bit cold out, she was hungry and really missed everyone. The following day Shinta finally decided to go into town and get something to eat; she spaced out her meals more than she should but its all she could do for now with limited funds. Shinta wandered around trying to decide on where to go the wind blew towards her and she caught a faint familiar smell 'Bakugo?' She thought and kept following the direction of the wind. Before long she realized where she was, she was standing outside of the place they always met for there coffee dates. "It probably wasn't him. I'm just being hopeful. I might as well get something here" she said to herself as she headed in. Right as the door closed however bakugo was walking past, they were so close to each other with out even realizing it. After ordering herself a nice meal and Bakugo's favorite drink she went and sat down. Even if he wasn't there she figured she would get his favorite drink to go with the meal, she didn't even know if he was ok. Bakugo was continuing his search in the area at the same time Shinta was eating her meal. Once she was done with her food she began heading back out having that bad feeling again. 'Time to get back to work it seems' she thought to herself before she took flight from a side street. By this time it was getting dark Shinta began scanning the area from above to see if she could spot what ever it was that she was sensing. Right than a blade came flying at her, shinta quickly dodged the blade landing on a near by rooftop. As she did a familiar face emerged it was Toga "Hey Toga. Long time no see" Shinta said unsure how toga was going to act after all that has happened. 

"Yami, I wish this was under different circumstances. Dabi sent me though, Shigaraki is more focused on Deku right now than you. That being said you need to be careful about being seen out and about. He is planning on trying to send others to retrieve you. Do not let him get you Yami" Toga said with a smile. "Thank you toga. I'm sorry if i've made things difficult for you or Dabi. That fight was just…." Shinta started trailing off the flashbacks of her friends, her boyfriend getting hurt. "It was intense. Things didn't go exactly as planned and I will agree maybe things got a little out of hand. But I came to give you this warning. Dabi and I still believe in you and we will at least try to watch your back around crusty" Toga said before she disappeared into the night her bad feeling subsided as well. Shinta smiled softly and took back off to where she had been hiding. Bakugo happened to glance up seeing a glimpse of her as she flew off towards the woods. He just thought it was his eyes playing tricks on him. "I feel like I was so close to her today but she was just out of reach. This is such bull. I just need to find her and bring her home" he said as he began heading back for the night as well. Once back at her hideout Shinta looked over what finances she did have left and realized she had a little more than she thought. 'I'll go to the internet cafe tomorrow and use one of their computers. I should be able to log in to my phone from there to at least check my messages, I really should have taken my phone with me that day' she thought to herself curling up on her makeshift bed and falling asleep for the night.

In the morning Shinta got up grabbed a protein bar and headed back to the city. She wanted to try to get to the cafe before it got too busy. On the way to the cafe she stopped by an electronics store and picked up a cheap phone. She would be able to restore contacts, photos, messages, calls and voicemails from her other phone once she got to the net cafe. After walking for another hour or so she finally made it to the cafe, sadly it was already quite busy for the time of day so she wasn't able to sit further back. After she got set up on one of the last available pc's near the front she got to work. She had to sign in on the pc to access the files and then connect the new phone to download the information. Little did she know Bakugo had been searching that area and decided he would stop by the cafe for a small break before going g back out to look for her. Shinta had just sat back down with a cup of hot tea when she heard the bell of the door something made her glance over and she froze when she saw who it was. 'Am I dreaming?' She thought to herself staring at Bakugo. Bakugo as he entered did a scan of the room until his eyes landed on Shinta. There eyes finally met and he just smiled he couldn't believe he just happened to come across her here of all places. He immediately headed over to where she was sitting trying to contain the different emotions he had, all the questions he had as well. When shinta finally snapped out of it Bakugo was not sitting beside her, his hand on hers. 

"K-Katsuki is it really you?" She asked hints of fear could be heard in her voice like she was still afraid it was a dream. "Yea babe. Its me. I was in the hospital for about a week before I got released. They patched me all up, Deku is fine. He left UA saying he's who shigaraki is after and he doesn't want to put anyone else in harms way. You know how he is. I've been looking for you every since I was released. I've been calling you almost everyday since I woke up. What happened? Where have you been?" He asked trying to start slow. He knew his goal was to get her to agree to come back to UA, but he could see it wasn't going to be easy. As he studied her features over he took notice on how she had gotten a bit thinner, looked exhausted and how parts of her demeanor were like when they first got to know each other. She seemed so full of fear again. Shinta looked down "I haven't seen any of the messages or anything yet. I didn't have my phone with me that day. I had left it where I was staying which isn't safe for me to return to anymore. I got a new phone today and its updating and restoring all of that stuff from my previous phone. Its not as nice as my last one but its what I could get" Shinta said and softly pulled her hand away and began picking at her nails. After a moment or two or silence "I was taken to a different hospital, I woke the day after what happened. Principal Nezu and All Might came to speak with me not long after I woke up. I was given a meal then released, I've been in…hiding since" she said softly
