After the raid, we spent several more months rounding together each of the members, raiding each and every one of their hideouts.

The compound in the bank of Japan had only been the beginning, and inside the computer at Fugita's safe house gave us a list of everyone that was connected with the group.

Once we had raided all the bases, I had anonymously leaked every bit off evidence we had collected, including the list. Every murder they made, everything they stole, every attack on another country.

Everything.

Including everyone they killed with crucifixes. People like Dabi and Ryuichi Kaji had been found in their bases, hung by their hands, starved until their death.

That was when all hell let loose.

News anchors across the world had spoken of it, spanning across several months and once the list of names had been made public, I released every member from their prison and handed them across every police station in Japan.

Sadly, Yaoyorozu was found dead inside her cell a couple weeks after the release. Some members had accused her as a traitor, specifically those who we raided before the bank of Japan. I was told she didn't fight back, probably from guilt.

All of our class mourned her, even after knowing her betrayal, because even after what she had done, she was still family.

Alecto was currently being hunted for the murder of Yaoyorozu's grandfather, but the heroes that helped bring down the foundation had left any cases related to Alecto. So they won't be uncovering anything new about my identity.

Either way, I have been patrolling less and less in the past couple months, so the chance any hero runs into me is less than before.

Speaking of my identity, that was a secret that has been tightly guarded. Only the people I was close with before knew about me and it consisted of people he went to UA with. My meeting with Eri and Ōkī was eventful, involving many tears and happy smiles. I still wore the lenses around those I don't know well enough, making sure no one knows that it's me.

With the fall of the foundation, several gangs that were founded by them disbanded, dropping crime by more than half.

Japan had started to become peaceful.

The economy started thriving and Japanese owned companies were being dismantled piece by piece in an investigation. Several politicians were fired and countless others resigned just witnessing what had happened to the country.

But right now, everything we had fought for, has led up to this moment.

Third POV

Katsuki let out a shaky breath as he stood in front of a mirror, fumbling with the bowtie around his neck. He let out a frustrated sigh as he gave up, letting the fabric hand around his neck. He instead focused his energy on his black and blue suit, making sure that everything was flattened out.

"I don't know what I'm gonna do man." He spoke out to the room. "We said to each other that we were gonna write our own vows and I haven't been able to come up with anything under two pages." He gripped the side of his head in annoyance. "I've loved this women for almost seven years, how do I fit that love in a couple sentences?"

The sound of a curtain opening drew his attention, finding Izuku wearing a similar suit, his eyes the familiar shade of blue, still helping to keep his identity hidden from those who didn't know.

Katsuki did a double take, looking back to izuku and letting out a small 'damn!' Under his breath. Izuku smiled slightly as he heard what he said.

"Katsuki, calm down for a couple seconds." Izuku moved up to Katsuki, tying his bowtie, causing Katsuki to grunt. "Look, when your up their, and you look into her eyes, the words will come to you. And even if you can't, I'm sure the look on your face will tell her everything she needs to know." Izuku gave him a small pat on his shoulder. "You clean up nice my friend." Katsuki let out a little chuckle, pointing back to Izuku.
