Iida had not expected the reaction that came, once the teachers were informed. The headmaster sent all classes to their rooms, their teachers went to deal with them, Expect the students Iida named from the group, who were called to the office and he never saw them leave. As for Shimura, he refused to let anyone near him, not even his own teacher. But, he had heard that his mother had came in to get him, they left fairly quickly, Iida was deeply concerned about his well-being, and felt bad he had not helped sooner. He wasn't surprised by the fact the police came in, he spoke to them to give his side. Iida was surprised to see two heroes, Best Jeanist, who was talking to the headmaster, who had a look of shame on his face, and his own brother. Ingenium approached Iida.
"Thank you, for helping Shimura." He said
"I didn't help…he pushed me away when I tried…" Iida looked away.
"You got that group away from him…You saved him from any major harm…" Ingenium glanced to the side where the group were actually be escorted out by the police. "That poor boy…didn't deserve any of this…" He heard his brother whisper to himself. "Don't be surprised if he doesn't return here, he needs a place where he will be safe, and this place doesn't seem to be it."
"He'll be okay, right?" Iida asked, desperately. Ingenium placed a hand on his head.
"In time, we can hope." Ingenium replied. "You better get to class… thank you." He walked back to Best Jeanist who looked furious. The two heroes left, Iida bowed his head. He wanted to be a hero, yet he couldn't even protect his own friend…
Izuku had been taken to the hospital to be checked over, but even Inko was surprised at her son's reaction. He would let no one approach him, he would get up, back off. He would occasionally set of his static quirk if anyone did get close. The occasional shadow would appear, a few metal object were sent flying. After a few hours, Izuku sat on the floor of his hospital room, surround by a small river of Magma.
"Mrs. Midoriya?" A doctor approached her. She turned her eyes away from her son, looking at the doctor with a broken look.
"Is he okay?" She asked
"His situation makes it difficult to determine. But, after all he has been through, Mrs. Midoriya, he could very well start suffering from Anthropophobia."
"And, that is?" She frowned.
"The fear of people, being kidnapped and trapped for 8 years, then this attack. It is likely that he has come to his own understanding that all people are out to get him. Anthropophobia can be brought on due past traumatic experiences." The doctor explained, they both turned to look at Izuku. "It can manifest as Awkwardness or uneasiness when appearing in public. But, of course, we are concerned that due to everything, he may not want to interact with people again."
"Oh Izuku…" Inko muttered, frowning at her son. She felt like she had failed him again.
Izuku eye's opened tiredly, his eyes landed on the magma before him, he was still safe and it was warm… He was about to close his eyes, but a pair of shoes entered his vision. He was curious about who it was, but at the same time, didn't want to deal with more people. He was fine with Nana and Oniichan, as he was currently wrapped up in their arms, not that anyone else could see them. After a moment he closed his eyes again.
"Who is it?" He asked his guides.
A police officer. The Pro-hero Eraserhead is with him. Nana answered.
"They are afraid my quirks will go off again…" Izuku muttered, knowing that they would be able to hear him. He didn't care anymore, he cuddled his knees closer. "Don't want to deal with anyone else…"
But, they need to speak to you about what happened. Oniichan told him.
"Don't care." Izuku replied, he couldn't stop the rest set of tears rolling down his cheeks. "They said I would be safe…" His voice broke slight as it came into his mind. He felt his guides hug him closer.
"Mr. Midoriya?" A careful voice questioned, Izuku frowned and looked up, locking eyes with the officer. "May we ask a few questions? We need to know your side, so we can act appropriately." Izuku was silent, but gave a short nod.
"Right." The Officer looked at his notebook. "You went with the group willing, correct?"
"They cornered me in the hallway, and blocked my way when I tried to pass them." Izuku answered. "I had little choice."
"I see, Mr Midoriya, what did they say when they were leading you away?"
"That they had questions for me, that we were all friends there." Izuku replied. "My guides knew something was wrong. So, Nana rushed to try and get Iida…Iida… Is Iida okay?" Izuku immediately looked up, looking horrified. "I made him stay away, I probably upset him… I need to apologise…"
"Mr. Midoriya, calm down!" The officer said. "Mr. Iida is fine, and we an arrange for you to meet him later if you want." Izuku nodded.
"Only you can see and hear your guides. How was Nana able to warn Iida?" Eraserhead spoke up, Izuku looked up at Nana.
"How did you warn Iida?" He frowned.
I don't really know myself. I was emotional, I knew you needed help and I was desperate. Nana muttered Maybe my only personal feelings along with your feelings mixed to allow my voice to be heard. Izuku shared her explanation, Eraserhead almost looked curious at the idea, but said nothing else. After a few more questions, the officer left Izuku with Eraserhead. The boy took deep breaths, before getting to his feet. He looked up to see his mom and the Bakugo's waiting on the other side of the glass. Kacchan was clearly trying hard not to explode.
"Sorry about the damage…" Izuku muttered as he glanced around the room, a doctor entered.
"A fight reaction, not really surprising. It is a natural reaction as you believed you were in danger." The doctor said. "We won't hold it against you. How are you feeling now?"
"Um… I don't know." Izuku replied honestly.
"May we do a check-up? Seeing how you were physically harmed by the group, we want to make sure you're okay." The doctor said, Izuku nodded. He looked at the magma, he took a deep breath and let it harden, he careful walked over it. He let the doctor check him for injuries, except for several bruises, he was fine. The doctors let him go, Izuku left the room, and ran into his mother's arms. Inko hugged him, holding him as if he was the last thing holding her to the earth.
"Oh, Izuku…" She was crying, he could feel her blaming herself for what happened.
"I'm fine Mom, I'm okay…" Izuku whispered to her, over and over.
"My baby boy…" Inko held a hand to his cheek. "I should be able to do more."
"You loving me is enough." Izuku hugged her tightly. "It's all I want from you…"
"Oh Izuku." She muttered, she didn't want to let him go. Who knew who else was out there wanting to hurt him. "But, I don't want you going back to that school. I don't want something like this happening again."
"Okay, Mom." Izuku nodded, to be honest, he wasn't sure he wanted to go back. But his education, and Iida. He pushed those thoughts aside just let himself be hugged.
