The wind blew gently at the top of a random business building in the heart of Musutafu.
Not a soul could see the top of the structure or the pitch-black portal that morphed into being in the roof's centre.
From out of the wormhole came Gentle, with La Brava clinging to his caped shoulder, and a worn-out Deku underneath his arm.
The flamboyant thief placed Deku on the ground as gently as his namesake.
La Brava hopped off his shoulders and looked over the young villain with him.
"Deku? Deku, my boy! Are you alright? speak to me!"
The portal then morphed into Kurogiri's physical suited form.
The living mist scanned his burning yellow eyes over the child, his unreadable expression coming off as unnaturally calm. "He appears to have lost consciousness during the travel. A pity."
Gentle whirled around on the vortex man with a seething glare in his eyes. "What did you do to him?!"
"I have done nothing to cause any harm to Mr Deku, Mr Gentle," Kurogiri explained casually.
"It would seem that he has simply succumbed to the overwhelming effect of his secret plans coming to fruition. After putting himself through such an onslaught of emotional turmoil, it is to be expected. There is nothing to be concerned about."
"'Nothing to be concerned about?" The elasticity man repeated, unable to believe what he just heard.
"Did you not see what happened back there?! Deku just...he just brutalized that boy! In front of the entire nation! This was not what he planned at all!"
"On the contrary. I believe that Deku intended to ruin the boy known as Katsuki Bakugo's life, to begin with." The vortex man pointed out nonchalantly.
"But that's...he would never have...Why didn't he tell us?!" Gentle demanded from the emotionless living fog.
"Perhaps he was afraid that you would react in the way you are now," Kurogiri answered monotonously.
"Why you...How dare you!" The flamboyant thief bellowed.
He wished to grab the vortex man by his dress shirt but feared that doing so would envoke the living cloud's wrath.
And knowing what his quirk was, the possibilities of what he could do with it were endless.
As the two adults argued to one side, La Brava knelt beside Deku.
His eyes were closed as an almost peaceful expression graced his face.
The tiny hacker clenched her tiny fists tightly, unable to decide what to think or how to feel at the moment.
"Deku...Izuku..." The pigtailed girl was so confused after what had happened, she didn't even know what to call him anymore. "So, this was your plan all along..."
The girl found herself taking out a handkerchief, hoping to wipe the blood from his freckled face.
Whether it was his or the Bakugo boy's, she didn't know and didn't think she wanted to.
She reached out to the boy's cheek, only for a gloved hand to rise and take her own.
"How can you be so callous?!" Gentle reprimanded Kuorigri loudly. "Are you not the least bit affected by what happened back there?!"
"Plans have a habit of changing as they play out.
Deku merely planned on changing the outcome of this effort from the beginning." The living cloud explains dryly.
"B-But that's absurd!" Gentle denied. "Deku wouldn't use us for some petty scheme of revenge like this!"
"Well, I did."
The elasticity and vortex men looked back to see the young mastermind picking himself up off the ground.
La Brava watched him, almost reaching her hands out to either help him up or keep him down to rest.
"D-Deku!"
"I had you take part in my plan, while I had another one in mind the entire time." The Quirkless child declared, his eyes hidden beneath his dark green locks.
Gentle was at a loss for words when his protege made that statement.
La Brava watched with wide, confused eyes as the boy started to walk toward the living cloud, looking up at him yet his eyes still concealed.
"Kurogiri. Take me home."
"Of course, Deku." Kurogiri bowed before opening a portal and stepping to one side, holding it open as a trained servant would.
"D-Deku?" The tiny hacker climbed back on her feet while the boy stood in front of the swirling wormhole.
The boy merely turned back, a small smile on his face as his eye remained unseeable. "Gentle...La Brava...I'm sorry...and thank you."
With that, the Quirkless child stepped into the darkness.
Gentle and La Brava were about to rush after him when the vortex was suddenly closed.
Kurogiri stepped into where the portal once was and gave the two a polite bow.
"It has been a pleasure to work beside you, Gentle Criminal and La Brava. Perhaps we shall have a chance to cooperate once again soon. Until next time."
Kurogiri then morphed into himself until he disappeared, leaving them bewildered duo alone on top of the nameless building.
Gentle was beside himself, while La Brava was completely stricken with grief.
She reached into her pocket and held up a flash drive in her hand.
The flash drive contained the video that Deku used to slander the boy who made his life miserable in front of thousands.
She thought back to when Gentle was doing everything he could to hold his quirk together, to stop the heroes from getting into the ring and protect Deku.
She remembered when she used her quirk to aid Gentle when he needed it most, just like always...
-------------------------------
"La Brava! I do believe I'm going to need your aid on this one!" The flamboyant thief ground out as he strained to keep his barrier and trap up.
The tiny hacker remembered what she could do to help and could have kicked herself.
All of the spiralling commotions must have caused her to forget what else she could do besides cracking codes.
Her quirk.
"R-Right!" La Brava hopped up to her feet and ran to Gentle, taking hold of his leg and clinging on tight.
She recalled the day she first saw him on her computer screen, the chivalry and grace he showed and how his charm won her over.
With the feelings of that day flowing through her, she looked up to her beloved with admiration in her eyes. "I love you...My Gentle."
The flamboyant thief managed a smile through the strain. "And I, you... my dear La Brava...!"
THOOM
A pink aura illuminated around Gentle, his strength and vigour seeming to come back to him tenfold.
La Brava smiled as her quirk, 'LOVE' began to work.
By confessing to the one she cares for the most, her admiration is turned into strength, and channels into their system.
With her quirk taking effect, Gentle began to push the heroes back, stopping them from breaking through.
La Brava was glad to be of some help, but something was bothering her.
While she was thinking about the times she and Gentle shared, a plague of other thoughts kept cutting in.
Thoughts of a freckled, green-haired child, whose small smile seemed to light up a room.
-------------------------------
The tiny hacker clutched the device tight, her mind reeling from the events that had happened, but with her heart going out to the boy at the centre of them all.
