Eri: "a....are you...o-o-okay?" really shy...as she was surrounded by people she's not familiar with 
Nejire: "i'm okay...you must be eri...right?" smiling and she nods...
Yuyu: "what...what are you doing here kid?" 
Eri: "I uh...mm" 
Aizawa: "she wanted to see her" 
Nejire: "really?" and she shyly nods...
Eri: "You...you spoke to my papa right?" a she stumbles for a bit 
Nejire: "Your...papa?" 
Eri: "Mr Bogeyman" which of course...was surprising for them...
Yuyu: "did...did he treat you okay?" 
Eri nods: "he would..bring me food...brush my hair...talk to me...I felt...safe...and..he treats me like i'm family" 
Mirio: 'so there's a chance..possibly' 
Eri: "and..he cried over you...he...he didn't want to hurt you" 
Nejire: "come here" as she slowly goes up to her bed...she was lift up to sit with her...
Nejire: "I'm Nejire" 
Eri: "you know my papa?" 
Nejire nods: "we...were close" and she perks up...excited 
Eri: "then...you must be my mama!" which of course was unexpected...Aizawa just facepalms...as the others snicker at this 
Yuyu: "aww..Mama Nejire" 
Nejire: "well i don't mind that...little snowball" now crawling right next to her...she clings on to her arm...
Nejire: "eri?" 
eri: "hmm?" 
Nejire: "what did you mean...when you said he didn't want to hurt me?" as she stayed quiet...as she feels her grip tighten...as she makes sure she's comfortable...Aizawa and the others wait...hoping that it will help their case 
Eri: "he...he tells that thing he sees...he doesn't want to hurt her...and...and i think he means you" 
Nejire: "he talks to something?" 
Eri nods
Mirio: "who?" 
Eri: "he doesn't know..."
Tamaki: "Eri...what does he say?" 
Eri: "uh...i...i don't know" 
Nejire: "it's okay...you don't have to explain it anymore" and she nods...as she held her hand..she also noticed the band-aids on her fingertips...and there was six of them...
Eri: "he made sure they wouldn't hurt" as Nejire just kisses her hand...
Nejire: "it's going to be alright" 
Aizawa: "are you fine if i leave her here with you?" and they nod 
Mirio: "You can count on us" as he takes his leave...Eri had a little drawing with her...
Nejire: "oh what's this?" as she sees it...
Eri; "um...it's.." and she just shows her...but a little embarrassed...Nejire looks at it..and she frowns...seeing the drawing of Eri with the bogeyman..the same drawing Aizawa looked at earlier...
Eri: "are you mad?" scared 
Nejire: "no..no i'm not mad" as they just lay there in comfort...meanwhile in the other room

Aizawa: "and here you are laying here...again" as he looks at Izumi...
Izumi: "what...you here to gloat about me...and how this is my fault" 
Aizawa: "pretty sure it's everyones...although your family has been the main problem to him...talk..." 
Izumi: "heh...what's there to talk about...he's the bogeyman...he's the nightmare that's been haunting me and the others dreams...the main reason why heroes are so afraid to fight him..i can't...i couldn't even put a scratch on him...he just stood there....and laughed as i tried to fight...happy now?...asshole?!" as she just looks away 
Kirishima: "and you five...pushed him towards that path...god just when things can't get any worse knowing what you guys did" 
Aizawa: "The people are panicking...they want to find someone to put the blame on since he is called the 'clown of Mustafa'...and that's your dad" 
Izumi didn't say anything 
Aizawa: "but of course..it's expected...i mean...i think...everyone is responsible for it...your friends...your parents...the heroes at the slime incident..his bullies...but he's killed most of them already...then Deatharms...Kamui woods...pretty sure he's going to kill Mt Lady at some point...when..who knows..." 
Izumi: "what...about bubble girl?" and he stays quiet...looking away....
Aizawa: "the frost froze her whole body...and...she just crumbled into pieces...but that...*sigh* i'd rather avoid that topic...in any case there is no choice but the heroes are now voting on the matter if they should try and detain your brother...or...kill him" 
Izumi: "k-kill...no...no you can't!" 
Aizawa: "then what should we do then...let him roam around..let him suffer...you heard what he said...those quirks injected into his body is slowly killing him and his mind...we've seen it...he will die no matter what...so you can either detain him...try to look for a treatment which i highly doubt it given his current situation...or put him out of the misery and kill him" 
Izumi: "I don't...I don't want to discuss this...get out!" 
Aizawa: "I'm telling you because you are one of the main reasons he became this...you make a choice..and this time...own up to it" and he leaves the room now...as she tries to calm herself 
Kirishima: "he's right though..." looking at him 
Kirishima: "he's killed many...he's taken so much lives that it's indescribable...you don't want right?" 
Izumi: "no...no there's a way...the doctor...the one that used to tend to that villain back at Kamino ward...i think he's the one who makes those NOMUs...if we can find him...force him to give us information on how to cure his insanity...it will work...it will work" 
Kirishima: "we don't even know where to look...all we know is that he is in some sewer with a secret button like those movies..." 
Izumi: "But i think there's a way..there's always a way!" 

Eri: "a-and that's...um...what happened" as she slowly and tried to explain the events of what he did for her...well...Nejire seems to see it...as he saw himself when he first met eri...abandoned...neglected...a plaything...so he did what he could to get her out of there...
Nejire: "well..that's good...i'm happy you didn't get harmed further" 
Eri nods as she snuggles up to her...the door opens again 
Aizawa: "alright....you three are cleared for now...head to the principals office..we have some things to discuss" as RG comes back in..she gets the IV out of them and then does another checkup to ensure they have recovered okay...
RG: "alright you three..your okay" as they got up Nejire had to carry Eri...they head on out now as she carries her...they soon made it to the main lobby...and behind them...two students block the way...
Mirio: "uh?" and then another pair block the other hallway 
Yuyu: "okay what's going on?" as she sees more coming in...and then...they were blocked in...
Tamaki pulled up his hood, uncomfortable with the amount of people staring at them 
Nejire held eri closer to her...as she was also scared from the people.
Nejire: "what's going on?" she asked them...and one of them walked up to them...one of their classmates
"You guys need to head back to your dorms...they...*sigh*...how should i put it" then one of them yelled out 
"WHORE!!" 
"TRAITOR!!!" 
"VILLAIN!!" 
Yuyu: "Woah woah I know you didn't just say that to my friend!" 
Mirio: "come on guys what's the deal!" 
"she's the deal that's what!" another shouted
"She's in the LOV!!" 
"She's fucked that monster!" 
Tamaki: "Enough...we didn't know...you wouldn't understand!" 
"She's a traitor...KICK HER OUT!!" 
Yuyu: "If you touch a hair on her i will make sure you'll regret it!" seeing her eye glow...
Mirio: "Yu...your a great friend and all..but...please don't destroy the school" 
Yuyu: "Yeah and let these losers threaten us" 
Nezu: "what is going on here?" as the principal on Aizawas shoulder walks in to the commotion...and of course it's a whole swarm of people talking at the same time it was nearly maddening....
Aizawa: "quiet..all of you" activating his quirk as it made the room go silent...then one kindly explained the whole situation...and how Nejire should be kicked out of the school or be arrested for being a possible spy
Nezu: "Oh..is that all?" and they were a but taken back from how nonchalant he was about the whole thing 
Nezu: "we all know that miss Hado isn't a traitor...it was rather unfortunate that things have gone this way from a different means of events...but do not worry...we have a control of the situation and i can assure you that she is not a spy at any means...so hurry along and report to your classrooms" and the crowd disperses...as Nejire sighs in relief...letting the energy in her hand fade away...
Mirio: "You okay?" 
Nejire: "yeah...i'm fine" trying to put up a smile 
Aizawa: "saw the commotions..thought it would be better to bring him here to defuse the situation" 
Nezu: "right indeed..and i'm glad you did...otherwise it would cause a lot of tension especially with the school festival coming up" 
Nejire: "You...you do know what's happening right?...how the heroes are being shunned" 
Nezu: "yes...i'm aware...but that doesn't mean i'm gonna cancel important events because of it...it's mostly there to ease the tension...try to find little joy left...of course there's your whole situation with your homicidal friend...but i digress that he will not be coming here" and again his blunt nature caused them to frown...yes he may be the principal..but it doesn't mean his words hurt
Mirio: "well...we're here mr Nezu..what is it you needed to discuss with us" 
Nezu: "ah right...well it's rather an important one...and cannot be discussed here...come on" as Aizawa and the others are lead back into his office...which is big enough to hold the five of them there...
Nezu: "Now then...i know all of you have done splendidly on keeping young eri here safe....the matter is that i must ask you..Nejire hado..to be the adoptive parent" 
Nejire: "what?" 
Yuyu: "wait...that's all?!...nothing else?" 
Nezu: "we're gonna get to that...now then...miss hado i know you've only known eri for about...30 minutes...but you seemed to be the only reliable person to take care of her...as you see she wouldn't allow anyone else to handle her...carry her and whatnot...but she is okay with you...and to an extent...Shota...but it doesn't mean you are going to handle it alone..I can do what i can to provide you the needed support should it be required...and i'm sure she would like it as well" 
Eri then looks back at Nejire...into her eyes...waiting for her answer....Nejire was thinking about it...
Nejire smiles: "how could i not?...after all...it would be cruel to leave such a sweet thing out there...yes...i will" and her eyes started tearing 
Eri: "MAMA!!" as she cries into her shoulder and she holds her closely...the next step...and a path to more heartache
