Midoriya let out a deep sigh as he fell back onto his bed. He had just come back from meeting with Eri in the hospital wing of the U.A along with Mirio. So much had happened to her over the course of the last couple of weeks and it was still hard for Izuku to fathom how a person could treat a child the way she was treated. He had a lot of sympathy for the girl, as well as admiration, and ever since they rescued her he couldn't stop thinking of how to help her. She was still so frightened by the outside world and it left Midoriya with a sinking feeling.

As he pondered over the girl, he looked over his arms again. Learning of Eri's quirk "Rewind" towards the end of the fight with Overhaul, Midoriya had asked the girl to use her quirk so he would be able to go all out with one for all. While a very risky strategy, it had worked. Perhaps even better than he had anticipated. Eri's quirk had managed to heal his arms to the point where they were no longer in danger of becoming lame. Something he had not even imagined possible, and with such a result, Aizawa and Recovery Girl were in the process of teaching Eri to control her quirk and use it for good. Hopefully then, Mirio would be able to get his own quirk back.

His own thought process was interrupted by a knock on his door. Slowly, he raised himself from the bed and opened it to see none other than Uraraka. She was wearing some casual clothes and seemed to be a bit stressed.

"What's up?" He asked. Uraraka stormed into the room, quickly but gently pushing him to the side as she did so. Confused, and slightly embarrassed, Izuku shut the door behind him.

"Ugh, I can't stop worrying about Eri! I know that our friends know about her know and that she's here at the school, but I can't really express my feelings since we aren't allowed to share what happened with people outside of our group!" She spoke quite loudly, perhaps unknowingly. Ochaco stood by the balcony window and just looked out towards the school. She was feeling too anxious to be embarrassed of charging into Deku's room like she did. Izuku walked over to his bed and sat down as he watched her.

"I understand." He said. "I haven't been able to stop thinking about her either. She's such a strong girl and I want to do everything I can to help her." Izuku began to talk to himself more than to Uraraka. "I keep thinking about the moment when Mirio and I saw her on the street, running from Overhaul. I keep thinking about how if I had done something, she wouldn't have suffered as much as she did. Then Mirio wouldn't have lost his quirk. Then Kirishima wouldn't have been injured so badly. If only I had pieced the puzzle together sooner."

Uraraka looked from the window over to the boy. He sat with his arms just laying on his legs, looking so dejected. If she had learned one thing about Deku since school started, it was that he took failing to heart, or at least what he perceived to be failures. It was something that she did admire him for, but at the same time, she knew it was dangerous to reflect so much on the past. She turned to face him.

"Hey! You DID save her. You are one of the people that she trusts most right now and its all because you never gave up on her!" She walked closer. "I know its hard to look at what could have been done, but that kind of thinking doesn't ever help anyone. What we can do now is be there for her when she needs us, and be there for our friends who were caught up in everything."

Izuku looked up at his friend and could see the determination in her eyes. He thought it was amazing how she could emanate such enthusiasm when she was determined. If he didn't know any better, he'd say she had a second quirk. Thinking about what she said did cheer him up though. He felt a smile at his lips and he gave a short laugh.

"You're right Uraraka. You always are," He said rubbing the back of his head. It was about this time where Ochaco realized how close she was to the boy and how she was standing in his room.

Alone.

With the door closed.

Her face lit up even though she tried to fight it. Her own mind had decided a short while ago that these feelings of hers that confused her so much were nothing more than a distraction from her goal, and she needed to push them away. Still embarrassed, she backed up slowly and looked back out the window. Izuku noticed her sudden shift in behavior as well.

"Are you okay?" He asked. She slowly nodded as the color normalized on her face once more.

"Yeah... Sorry. Just a lot on my mind," she said. "Anyway, Tsu and I were wanting to visit Kirishima. It was actually what I was wanting to come up here and ask you about in the first place since we wanted to invite you," she said as she nervously tapped her finger together. Izuku smiled and he stood up from his bed.

"Of course! That sounds like a great idea! Let me just change out of my sweats real quick!" Uraraka nodded and began to take a step to leave when she noticed him take off his shirt in an attempt to change.

She froze. This was bad. Real bad. Did he just completely forget that she was in here!? Or is he just so distracted by his current objective that he failed to notice that she hadn't left yet!? Either way, she had to escape, and fast.

Luckily, she didn't have to do anything as the door to Deku's room was suddenly kicked open with a strong force. Iida burst in waving his hand everywhere.

"Uraraka, I saw you enter Midoriya's room earlier and you both shut the door. While not against dorm policy, as your class rep I must..." he suddenly stopped as he noticed Izuku was shirtless and right behind him was Uraraka. He lowered his head so that you couldn't see his eyes anymore because of the reflection in his glasses.

"No..." Iida said in the most depressing manner possible as he fell to his knees. "I can't believe my best friends would break our rules by being intimate in our school dorm and possibly ruining their own chances at becoming pros." He began tearing up as he finished his heartfelt statement. Both of the other students faces lit up as Izuku finally realized what was going on and Uraraka just out of complete embarrassment. Izuku quickly began to cover his face with his arms.

"No! I..I...Iida, you got it all w...wrong!" He stuttered trying to rectify the situation.

"Y...Yeah!" Ochaco added before quickly looking at Deku. "Anyways, I'll see you downstairs! Bye!" and with that she ran out the room faster than Mineta chasing after skirts. Both of them just watched as she raced out, leaving them both in silence.

"I'm so stupid," Izuku said as he facepalmed.

…

As the three of them entered the hospital wing, All Might approached them from the hallway he had come out of. Quickly he entered his muscle form as he greeted his students.

"Young Asui, Young Uraraka, and Young Midoriya! Good to see y..." and suddenly he snapped back to his frail form with the pressure from muscle from causing him to spew out blood from his mouth. Midoriya and Uraraka screamed while Asui just watched him with a blank stare.

"Are you okay All Might?!" Izuku and Ochaco quickly approached him.

"Fear not children, I'm fine. As I was trying to say, it is good to see you three. Come to check up on Young Kirishima I'm guessing?" They all nodded. All Might let out a sigh. "Young Kirishima took quite the beating during the raid and Fat Gum has been here every day making sure the boy is okay. However, Just like with you three, I am so proud of the drive he had to protect Fat Gum when it mattered most. Now I just need you all to stop hurting yourselves so extremely every time something happens, yeah?"

The three of them just nodded again.

"Anyway, I shouldn't keep you from your friend. Tell him I wish him a speedy recovery for me," All Might said. He turned to leave when Uraraka called after him.

"Wait! All Might!" the frail man turned around to face his student. "We are all so worried about Kirishima and Eri and the rest. All we want to do is to get stronger so that when we are tested like this again, we can protect ourselves and the ones around us better." Tsu and Izuku both looked at the girl surprised. "With the small break we have for school right now, and that you are still the best hero in my eyes, can you please help us train?" She bowed before the man.

Midoriya watched with interest. While Uraraka and Tsu had both been at the raid, for the most part, they had been on the outside looking in. Eijiro, himself, Mirio, and Tamaki had all been in the thick of it and had taken most of the damage. Lately, he noticed that his friend had been pushing herself to reach even further heights than before. It was very inspiring to watch. With that in mind, it must have been so frustrating for those two to not be able to help as much as they would have liked to.

All Might brought his hand to his chin as he pondered her request. It was obvious that she had wanted him to train them specifically, rather than having the same routines that U.A uses for its hero course. A little bit of one on one with them to help them in a way that a classroom setting could not. Toshinori gave a small smirk as he was impressed with the young girl.

"My students," Uraraka slowly stood back up. "I want to say firstly that you all impress me every day. I know it must be frustrating to not see the same growth in your own abilities as I see when I look at all of you. You are all growing so quickly, especially with all the dangers you have all faced so far. With that said, since school will not be back in session for a couple of weeks due to recent events, I have an idea." All three of their faces lit up. Izuku clenched his fists in excitement while Tsu gave a lopsided smile at the man.

"Thank you sir!" Uraraka exclaimed. The retired hero laughed and waved them off.

"Make sure to come find me tomorrow. We will discuss it some more then." And with that, All Might left the Hospital. With excitement drumming around the three of them, Tsu pointed down the hall.

"Let's go find Kirishima "ribbit"," They nodded and went to search for his room.

…

Kirishima looked a lot better than when they brought him out from the raid. His body was only had a few wraps still, but his wounds were starting to scar and you could tell that his skin was starting to heal. The red headed boy looked up as he saw his classmates enter.

"Woah, What's up guys!?" He spoke rather boisterously. The nurse in the room got up and left to give them some privacy.

"Hey there Kirishima. "ribbit" How are you feeling?" Tsu asked as they all approached the bed.

"A little stiff still. And my body still hurts like hell. But that's to be expected I guess," He laughed. Midoriya just looked at his friend with admiration. The way that Eijiro had stood up to the villian in the raid was so incredible and for him to be sitting here, laughing about the whole thing, was amazing to him.

"Well, we just wanted to come check on you since we're all worried. I'm glad you're recovering well though!" Uraraka said. Kirishima snickered.

"Well I do appreciate it! So many of you guy have stopped by and it feels real good to know you all care. Hell, even Bakugo stopped by!" All of them were surprised to hear that. While Bakugo was still very intolerable most of the time, somehow Kirishima had managed to forge a bond with the guy. "Hey, how's Eri doing though? I haven't heard anything about her since I got here."

Midoriya explained that she is under the supervision of Aizawa at the moment and is in the process of learning how to use her quirk properly. Both Eijiro and Tsu sighed in relief hearing this.

"Well I'm glad we saved her. So much was going down and so much was at stake. If Fat Gum hadn't been so manly and shown me how to fight for real down there, things could have gone so differently." The red head clenched his fists. "Villains don't take breaks and I'm realizing how strong you have to be in order to keep them at bay. I have to get stronger, for the sake of everyone else."

Midoriya chimed up. "Well... Actually Kirishima, we have something that might interest you then." Eijiro looked up at the three expectantly and as they told him what All Might said, he give a huge grin.

"Hell Yeah. Count me in!"

Heyo friends. I had a really fun idea for a story for this series and I gotta say, I don't even watch or read a lot of Anime/Manga but this show has been one big experience for me.

Also I'm a sucker for romance so this will ultimately be a ship story, but I hope to flesh it out more to be a more exiting story than just that. Anywho, This does take place after the Overhaul arc and will deviate from what happens after. Obviously since the Manga does keep going after this, this story will not follow that path, rather it is meant to kind of inject itself in between events? Or something. IDK, either way, I hope you enjoy it and look forward to the next chapter!
