Aurae tried to open his eyes, and his vision is very blurry when he does. As his vision adjusts to the bright light above him, he hears voices around him. He also hears the sound of beeping next to him, a heart monitor he guesses.

"He's waking up! Get Miss Midoriya!" He hears one voice yell to the others. His ears ringed from the amount of voices around him. He winced, causing the voices to quiet down after they notice his discomfort.

Wait...my helmet!

Aurae looks down and notices that he's in a hospital gown, not his armor. He starts to panic, no one should've been able to take off his armor, unless they somehow cut them off with a knife or something. His ghost should've been able to transmat him away if they tried.

Calm down! They're just trying to help you!

Aurae stops panicking after hearing his ghost's familiar voice.

Where are we?

Currently in a hospital. We're not in the same universe, we're on a completely different planet than we're used to.

Crap.

You got that right.

Why am I here?

Well, Riven managed to somehow get us on this planet. You were found by some green-haired kid, his mom called a hospital for help. I managed to get your armor into your inventory before the kid made it to us, I don't want them getting your armor.

Aurae has the sudden urge to facepalm.

You know that my identity is now known right?

Uh...don't worry about that. You don't look like yourself.

Before Aurae could ask what his ghost meant by that, V, two new people enter the room. The doctors and nurses leave once they saw them, leaving the Hunter with the three newcomers. One of them was a lady with green hair, like the boy from before. The second one was the green-haired boy. He needs to find out his name soon, because this is getting old. The third one looked like some sort of detective, maybe a police officer.

"You're awake! I'm so glad you're okay, Izuku found you in an alleyway all roughed up. My name's Midoriya Inko, but you can just call me Miss Midoriya or just Inko." The lady said with a soft voice.

Did I mention that you somehow got shorter?

WHAT?!

Guardians don't just...somehow become younger. Riven must've done this, and he absolutely hated it. No one's going to take him seriously when he sounds or looks like this.

Aurae proceeds to gesture to his mouth and opening it with no sound coming out. He'll pretend to be mute to avoid anything for now. Inko notices and thankfully gets that he's 'mute'. She hands him a notepad and pencil from the table at the side.

I don't have a name. Aurae writes down. He'll have to make up a name.

"Why don't you have a name?" Izuku asks, confused.

Never needed one. Aurae replies.

Inko frowns, "How about we think of a name for you together! Or do you already have a name in mind?"

Aurae taps the pencil on his chin while thinking, then writes, V

His ghost, if they weren't gone at the moment, would've probably complained that he stole their name.

"Alright, V, can you explain why we found you unconscious in an alleyway?" The detective asked.

I don't know how I got there. A villain must've teleported me there. Aurae answered truthfully, excluding the fact that the villain is Riven.

"How old are you? You look like you're around my son's age." Inko queried.

I don't really know? I don't even know my own birthday. Also, what's a quirk? Aurae questioned.

All three of the strangers seem shocked at his answer. The detective asks the guardian, "Had you been kidnapped and hidden because of this villain?"

You mean that big scary guy? Aurae replies. Technically Riven captured him, then put him here.

If possible, Inko frowned more.

"A quirk is your ability, like a super power. You know what heroes are right?" Izuku questioned.

Of course I do! They're so cool! But...I don't think I have a quirk. Aurae responds and scratches the back of his head sheepishly. He isn't going to tell them about his abilities, the less they know the better. He'd give himself a high five for his acting skills if he could right now.

"There's no record of you at all. We need to make an identity for you. I think a villain must've kidnapped your mother and she had you. Which might be why we don't have any records of you," The detective explains with a grim expression, "is your mother or father still alive? If you know their names, it could help our search for them."

No...They're gone. Aurae replies. He doesn't have any parents. He basically climbed out of a grave once his ghost revived him. His parents are long gone if he had any. Hell, he might've been dead for centuries even.

The detective sighs, "How about we find a family to adopt you? We can also find a school for you to go to and catch up with the rest of kids your age."

Aurae pales, did Riven just drop him off here to become a child that needs to go to school? Schools don't even exist anymore after everything that happened. Also, he's definitely not a kid, so he doesn't need to go to school, but they don't know that.

No one wants to go to school when they don't need to. Perhaps he could use his light to become a vigilante and occasionally steal some stuff from the villains. There's no way they'd let a child be a hero unless this world is really that chaotic.

I don't need to do go to school. Aurae's eyes narrowed.

Inko chuckled, "All kids think that, but you'll need the education to get a job."

Aurae crossed his arms and pouts. He's a child now, so he's sure he can act like this with a perfect excuse.

Inko just smiles at him, "You're going to stay here for another few hours until they're sure you're okay. They're going to bring you to a orphanage or a family of your choosing. Little Izuku here wouldn't mind getting a brother."

Aurae thought back on his options. He could either go to an orphanage, run away and maybe get chased, or choose this family. He's not really sure on what he should choose, he'd like the option with the least amount of trouble.

Little did he know, that choosing the option he thought was best contained the most trouble.
