New chapter 🌻

"I guess." Remus thought back, trying to examine the memories like the detective he should be. "Yeah, about my Dad, a bit, how I was enjoying Brooklyn, again."   "And you asked him some questions?" "He was careful." Remus admitted, after a moment. "He told me some things, like about working for his uncle at the florist, and he mentioned his brother was at university. Nothing that we didn't already know, or could've guessed."  "Clever." James admitted, softly. "But we knew he was going to be smart about this. Use us as much as possible, while giving us as little as he can."

The entire group turned to her.

Kenji’s eyes gleamed with interest. Darius shifted slightly, looking tense but unreadable.

Brooklyn’s hands clenched into fists.

No escape. No distractions.

She had to say it.

She took a shaky breath, heart hammering against her ribs.

“I—”

She hesitated.

She looked at Darius. Then at Kenji.

The fire crackled. Everyone leaned in, waiting.

Brooklyn closed her eyes.

And said the name.

“Izuku, you know Ground Zero?”

“No,” he snaps at the same time as Kacchan says, “Yes.”

Ochako frowns in that way she does when she smells bullshit. 

“N-not—anymore,” Izuku amends. He wills all his strength into his next words. “What the hell are you doing here?”

Izuku can’t control the furious blush that rises to his face.

“W-what?”
