You cough as the dust settles. You look around, trying to get your bearings again. Your eyes focus on Aizawa, hovering over you as he strokes your cheek softly. "Baby...you ok?" Aizawa asks.

"Shota...what happened..." you mumble.

"Building caved in...I think we are a little stuck," he sighs.

"Fuck..." you sit up, and he looks at your head.

"Anything hurt?" He asks.

"No...you?" You say, rubbing your arm.

"No...fuck," he sighs.

"Hey...the kids will be ok...we just need to get out of here," you say, holding his cheek. He sighs and nods.

Koa looks at the building and screams. Hawks grabs him and moves him out of the way of an attack. "Eraser got her...I saw him...he got her," Hawks says softly. Koa nods a little and keeps fighting. "Find who is making the portals!" Hawks shouts. More heroes run up and keep fighting. Rumi jumps over Endeavor, kicking two villains back. Koa runs through, trying to find the person making the portals.

Aizawa looks around and sighs. "I'm gonna try to move this...see if we can get out," he says softly.

"Shota, wait...let me help," you say, sitting on the floor.

He chuckles. "If that was a joke, it did make me feel better," he smirks.

"No, stupid! My legs are stronger than my arms," you giggle. You lay down and prop your feet up. Aizawa glances at your legs, and you snap your fingers. "Hey! Now is not the time, creampie boy," you smirk.

"I'M NEVER TELLING YOU ANYTHING EVER AGIAN!" He shouts, and you laugh. He rolls his eyes and puts his hands on the sheet of rubble.

"One three...one...two...three!" He shouts.

Both of your push as hard as you can, lifting off the rubble. He grabs you and throws his scarf around a pipe. He pulls you both out of the crevasse and sets you down. "Nice work, Eraser," you pant.

"Thanks, Mind...not bad yourself..." he smirks. You both run out, and Enji stops when he sees you both. Aizawa runs up and tackles Hawks out of the way from a blast of green slime.

"Woah!! Eraser!!" Hawks smiles.

"Watch it, bird brain!" Aizawa snaps.

"Glad to see you two are ok! We need to find the one making portals!!" Hawks shouts.

"ON IT!" You smile and run up, shooting your lines and swinging yourself into the chaos. You stop when you see someone hiding in an alleyway. You run up and tackle him, making the portals stop. He kicks you back and slams you against the wall.

"It's you...Mind Mistress...well isn't this my lucky day....you're very pretty," he smirks as he holds your neck.

"Unlucky is more like it," you growl. You kick him in the groin and slam his head into the wall. You hold his head and run your quirk through him, crippling his body in pain. He drops to the floor, drool leaking from his mouth.

"I hope you still think I'm pretty," you smirk.

"I think he does," Endeavor says, walking up with a pair of quirk cuffs. He picks the man up and puts the cuffs on. "Mind, can we talk?" Endeavor says.

"Fuck no," you snap. You turn to walk away, and he grabs your arm.

"Please...I want to explain myself," he says.

"There is nothing to explain!" You snatch your arm away angrily. "You are a fucking weirdo! Do you not get that! Put aside the fact that you only have the hots for me because I look like my dead fucking aunt, but you are fucking married!" You growl.

He looks down, and his fists clench. "If you'd just let me explain," he says, stepping towards you.

"Back. The fuck. Up," Hawks growls. Endeavor looks up and sees Hawks with two feathers in his hands. He takes a step back, and Hawks lets the feathers go back into his wings. "Mind, Eraser is looking for you," Hawks says. You nod and walk away.

"Hawks..."

"Fuck you. You know how I've felt about her. You've known the whole fucking time. You know how she feels about Aizawa too, and you just don't seem to care about anyone's fucking feelings but your own," Hawks says angrily.

"Look, I just-"

"If you go near my friend's wife again, I will kill you, Enji. Stay away from them," Hawks says coldly. Endeavor's eyes widen. Hawks glares at him and walks off.

You run up to Shota and smile. "You ok?" You ask sweetly.

"Better now that I know you're safe...we should get home," he smiles.

"Alright...you coming, Koa?" You smile.

"No...I should get back to Mid-my place," he smiles nervously.

"Ok? Are you ok?" You ask.

"Yup!!" Koa nods.

"Yeah, I bet you are," Aizawa smirks. He takes your hand and walks away. You two get into the car and sigh.

"You know...I was a little nervous about both of us going..." you say softly.

"So was I...but...we work better as a team," Aizawa smiles.

You smile and take his hand. "That's exactly what I was thinking," you giggle.

"I was a little scared when we got trapped. But...being with you...fighting with you...I felt like as long as we had each other's backs, it would be ok. I've gotten so used to fighting alone...it's nice to know I don't have to anymore. And fighting with you...I felt like I fought harder because the person I'm fighting for was with me," Aizawa smiles.

Your heart swells, and you kiss him. "You really ran into there to get me without even second-guessing," you whisper.

He holds your face and looks at you. "Of course I did, my love...I told you...I want to be your protector," he smiles.

"I love you, Shota. You never have to fight alone," you smile.

"I love you too," he smiles.

He starts the car and drives off, heading home. He pulls into the driveway and parks the car. You two get out and walk inside. Hitoshi has his head on Shoto's lap as he reads to him. Shoto looks up and tilts his head.

"Why are you both so dusty?" He asks.

"Oh, a building collapsed on me and your mom. We're fine. Did Eri get to bed ok?" Aizawa asks.

Hitoshi sits up, shocked. "I'm sorry, did you say a fucking building fell on you two!?" Hitoshi asks.

"Hey! Language! And yeah. I tackled your mom. We are fine. So, bedtime was good?" He asks.

"Bedtime was fine," Shoto says, closing the book.

"Good. Thanks," Aizawa smiles.

"Dad...how are you so calm?" Hitoshi asks.

"Because he was able to protect the woman he loves. I thought that was obvious. I'm sleepy. Goodnight Y/N. Goodnight dad. Night noodle," Shoto yawns and kisses Hitoshi's cheek before he walks down the hall. Hitoshi's cheeks flush, and he stands there in shock.

"Did ya need something else, Hitoshi?" Aizawa smirks.

"Nope...nope...no..." he keeps mumbling as he walks to his room. You giggle and kiss his forehead.

"Night, Toshi," you smile.

"Night, mom," he mumbles. Aizawa chuckles and takes your hand, leading you to the bedroom.

"Did he call you dad?" You ask, smiling a little.

"Yeah...I told him it was ok with me," Aizawa smiles. "Come on...let's get you cleaned up," he smiles.

"Why? Aren't we just going to get dirty again?" You smirk.

Koa walks up to his apartment and stops. "You find something else?" He sighs. Hawks lands and puts his hands in his pockets.

"Yeah...it's not good," Hawks says softly.

"What is it?" Koa says.

"We finally figured out the leader of these attacks. His name is Malthael," Hawks says.

"As in angel of death? Like from that fucking video game?!" Koa asks.

"Yes...he was one of Stain's followers, but apparently Stain wasn't radical enough for him," Hawks grumbles.

"What the fuck does he want?" Koa asks.

"Well, the L.O.V. wanted to reform society...he wants to annihilate it. He doesn't want anyone to live...he wants to pretty much bring on the end times," Hawks says.

"What the fuck...." Koa says.

"It gets worse...Remember how I told you they were trying to get you and your sister for your quirks?" Hawks sighs.

"Yeah...why?" Koa asks worriedly.

"They aren't just going after the two of you...." Hawks takes out a picture from his pocket and hands it to Koa.

"Oh my god...they are trying to take Eri?"
