You wake up early the next day and make him his favorite breakfast—a stack of waffles, black coffee, and strawberries with whipped cream. You set the table and quickly finish making the bacon and eggs. "Good morning," he yawns as he walks into the kitchen.

You turn and stare at him. He has on grey sweats, hanging low on his hips as he ties his hair into a bun, gathering up the strands from his neck and back. You turn and look away, your body filling with heat. "Good morning, love. Sit down; breakfast is almost done," you smile. He stares at the table, and his chest flutters. He walks over to you, turning your around, kissing you hard. "Mm!" You giggle as he holds your face.

"What did I do to deserve such a perfect woman?" He whispers against your lips.

"Shota, you're working your ass off; you deserve a break," you smile.

"Yeah, but so are you," he says.

"What are you talking about?" You ask.

"Y/N, I made the mistake of not noticing all you do for me once, and I don't plan on making that mistake again," he sighs. You look at him, puzzled.

"You have taken control of the task force, you are helping with teaching class 1-A when I'm in the office, you are taking care of the kids, and you are trying to talk some sense into Arlis so she can come to stay here," Aizawa says. "Don't think I haven't noticed everything. You're doing all of that, and yet every night I come home, the apartment is spotless, and you have dinner ready... you deserve a break too," he says.

Your eyes water, and you quickly turn back around to the stove, shutting it off and putting the bacon and eggs on a plate. He gets up and walks over to you. He takes the plate from your hands and sets it down. "Please... tell me what's going on," he whispers.

You turn around and sniffle. "I'm fine juggling everything... I just... I'm worried. I'm worried about everyone. I don't want anyone else to die, I don't want the kids getting hurt, and I don't want this fucker to take our baby! I found backpacks with fucking supplies under one of the kid's beds, Shota! They look like they are preparing for fucking war!" You sob.

He holds you tightly and sighs. "I know... I'm not too happy about this either... but are you gonna tell them to stop?" He asks. You look at him confused, and he sighs.

"Go tell Katsuki he can't protect Eri... Tell Izuku he should just stand on the sidelines if she gets hurt. Go tell Denki to stop figuring things out. If you even try to bring up the idea, Bakugou alone would blow up the school," Aizawa says.

You sniffle. "I know... fuck why do they all have to be so god damn stubborn!" You say angrily.

"Really? You don't know why they are so stubborn? Really?" He smirks.

You sniffle and pout a little. "I'm not that stubborn," you mumble.

He kisses your head and holds you tightly. "You are very stubborn... but I love you to death for your stubbornness," he smiles. You laugh a little and wipe your face. "Everything is going to be ok," he whispers. You nod and smile softly. He takes you to the table and sits you down. He grabs the rest of the food and sets it on the table. You start to eat breakfast together, and he sighs.

"I think we should take today off. Just stay here, you and me," he smiles.

Your eyes light up. "Really?" You ask softly.

"Yeah. You need it, and so do I," he smiles and grabs your hand.

"Thank you," you smile.

"No, thank you. You took care of me last night, and I want to take care of you," he kisses your hand and smiles. "That's what marriage is... caring for each other," he smiles.

Griffin falls into an ally way, panting heavily. She stumbles up, leaning on a wall as her wings melt off. Her eyes flutter open and closed as she breathes. She looks down at her hand and smirks. "Stupid fuckers..." she stumbles through the alleyway and gets to a small motel. She goes into her room and sets a flash drive onto the table. She walks to the bathroom and strips down, turning on the water. She lays on the shower floor, breathing heavily as her wings wash down the drain. "One down... two to go..." she mumbles.

The water runs cold after a few hours, shocking her awake. She sits up and turns off the water. She grabs a towel and dries off. She walks out and looks at the flash drive. She grabs a pair of jeans and a hoodie and slips them on. She walks to her nightstand and grabs a small black zipper case. She unzips it, taking out a syringe. She grabs a pillow and shoves it into her mouth.

She takes a few deep breathes and injects the needle into her leg, screaming into the pillow. She drops the needle and screams as her wings form back, bursting through slits on the back of her hoodie. She spits the pillow out and stands up, her vision blurry and her body shaky. She closes her eyes and takes a few deep breathes, and calms down. She grabs the flash drive and opens the door, walking out of the room. She takes off into the sky and lands at a warehouse. She walks in and smiles.

"Well, it looks like he didn't lie about the flash drives," she says, holding it up.

Natsuo turns around and smirks. "Good... then he should know where the others are..." he says.

They walk into a small room and turn the lights on. Kai is sitting in the center of the room, tied to a chair. His face is bruised and bloodied, and his chest has frostbite burns on it. "He looks like hell," Griffin scoffs.

"Yeah, well, you said by any means necessary," Natsuo shrugs. He glances at her and pulls her out of the room. "Nhalia is worried about you. So is Y/N..." he says.

"I'm fine. I told them I was going to try to find information," she shrugs.

"Yeah, but..."

"Look, man, if you don't wanna fuck him up anymore because you have some sort of guilty conscious, that's fine. I can do it myself. I'm going to find these fucking flash drives. They are the only clue we have to this son of a bitch, and I want him dead," Griffin snaps.

"Shouldn't you get back up or something?" Natsuo asks.

"No. Y/N is busy, and so is Nhalia. They both have families they need to look after, and this is my way of looking after them. I'm not asking for help with this. It's an easy task, and I can do it alone," she says, walking back into the room.

She lifts Kai's face and smiles. "Where is the other drive? And don't try to be brave and not talk... I'm not as sweet as snow cone over there."
