Timeskip | When Heroes Stop Running

Seven years after graduating from UA Academy, the former students of Class 1-A have officially ushered in a new era of peace, transitioning from eager teenagers to the foundational pillars of hero society. Izuku Midoriya now walks the halls of UA not as a student, but as the foundational heroics instructor. Following the fading embers of One For All, he dedicated his unparalleled analytical mind to teaching. He guides the next generation of quirks with the same meticulous notebook-scribbling passion he always had, proving that a true hero inspires even without standing in the absolute spotlight. Right at the top of the charts, Shoto Todoroki has firmly claimed the spot of the Number 2 Hero. Embracing his dual nature with absolute mastery, his rescue operations and tactical precision have made him a global icon of reliability. Ochaco Uraraka found her true calling by founding a specialized nationwide counseling network. Her agency focuses entirely on early intervention, helping young children who possess volatile or frightening quirks learn to manage them without fear or stigma. Standing alongside her are Tsuyu Asui and Tenya Iida; Tsuyu utilizes her empathetic nature in coastal rescue and youth outreach, while Iida serves as the highly organized coordinator for the regional hero agencies, ensuring emergency response times are down to the millisecond. The rest of the class has diversified to cover every corner of society. Eijiro Kirishima and Mina Ashido are a powerhouse duo in urban rescue, bringing bright energy and unbreakable defense to disaster zones. Denki Kaminari, Kyoka Jiro, and Fumikage Tokoyami balance high-profile nighttime patrols with cultural influence, with Jiro and Kaminari running an underground music venue that doubles as a safe haven for quirk-apprehensive youth. Momo Yaoyorozu acts as the chief tactical advisor for the Hero Public Safety Commission, using her intellect to restructure disaster relief funding, often assisted by the support-tech innovations of Mezou Shoji and Koji Koda, who advocate for mutant-rights and animal-assisted rescue initiatives. Together, the 25-year-olds of Class 1-A have changed the definition of a hero. It is no longer just about defeating villains, but about sustaining the world that comes after the battle is won.

After a series of exhausting villain attacks, a group of top heroes are visibly worn down but still pushing themselves past their limits. Hawks notices their injuries and burnout and refuses to let them keep going like that. He brings them to a trusted underground medic agency he personally knows—someone who specializes in treating heroes who avoid hospitals or official oversight.

The group arrives reluctantly, each hero masking pain or fatigue in their own way, but the medic immediately recognizes their condition without needing explanations. The atmosphere is quiet and controlled, and the medic begins assessing them with calm precision while Hawks makes it clear they’re not leaving until they’re properly treated.
