After the heroes and police chief all left, the boys demanded I tell them what happened. I told them under the condition they tell me their story too.

Todoroki had helped me sit on the bed beside Iida. I put my head on his shoulder. "I'm just glad you guys are alright."

"Us? What about you? You took on a Nomu!"

I sat up straight and shrugged. Should I tell them what happened to the Nomu?

"There's something you're not telling us."

Iida nudged me. "What is it?"

I shifted slightly and looked away. "I don't know exactly what happened, but...I...The Nomu is dead."

"What?!"

"You managed to kill it?!"

"I call bullshit."

I glared at Todoroki. "Hey, you're the one who wanted to know! Besides, you don't believe me? You can ask Gang Orca and Rock Lock."

I sighed and slipped off the bed. "I better go back to my room and make sure the doctor isn't looking for me." I grabbed my crutch and headed out. "I'll come back a bit later to hang out."

"If you don't fall asleep."

I grinned. "That's always a thing."

The doctor had been looking for me. He scolded me for leaving my room, but once I told him that the other UA students were across the hallway, he forgave me.

"Just don't go moving around too much, before the stitches heal properly." He lifted my shirt and frowned.

"What's wrong?"

He hummed. "It seems the wound is nearly healed over already. I can probably take the stitches out now, but I think I might leave them in until tomorrow, just to be safe."

"Well, that's good, right?"

He looked at me. "Hm? Oh, yes. It is good. Just unusual, that's all. Now, I've been meaning to ask about all these other scars." He sat on the chair and folded his hands in his lap. Uh oh. "Is everything alright at home?"

I blinked. "Doctor..."

"It's alright. This is a safe space. You can tell me."

I hesitated. "It doesn't matter anymore. My parents are dead. Neither of them can do this anymore." I shrugged, but I felt my chest get tight.

"I see. What about the more recent ones?"

"I try to train myself. I'm clumsy and tend to hurt myself a lot, that's all."

He studied me for a moment, then nodded. "Well, you need to be more careful. And go to the hospital when things get out of hand." He eyed me then got up. "If you need me for anything, just go to the front desk." He turned and left.

I shook my head. He didn't even tell me his name. I shifted myself onto the bed. My side didn't hurt as much now, and I didn't need the crutch.

"You're awake."

I looked up and grinned. "Yea. I'm surprised you are."

Aizawa came over and stood next to the bed. "How are you doing?"

I shrugged. "The doctor just left. He said the wound is healing quicker than normal. He said he can take the stitches out tomorrow."

"That's not what I meant."

I frowned. "Huh?"

He sat down on the chair. "Gang Orca and Rock Lock told me what happened with that Nomu. You tore it apart?"

I looked away. "I don't know exactly what happened or how it happened, but...Yea. I guess I did."

"It was dangerous to do what you did."

"I wasn't about to let that thing kill Gang Orca, Rock Lock or anyone else for that matter."

"You need to learn to slow down and think about things. You are not invincible, Kitia. Doing something like that can get you killed. That wound you received nearly killed you as it was."

I nodded. "You're right, I know."

He sighed. "Of course, you did save the heroes, plus countless other lives...So I guess I should give credit where it's due."

I smiled. "Thanks, Mr Aizawa."

"Just don't do it again."

I grinned. "No promises, but I will avoid doing something I'm not capable of."

"...And that's the best I'm going to get out of you."

"Yes sir."

After Mr Aizawa left, I decided to go see the boys again. I stepped into the room without any of them noticing me. I was about to say something, but Iida was talking.

"...I think I want to leave my left hand as it is."

I frowned. What is he talking about?

Midoriya lifted his messed up hand. "Iida, I feel the same way. Let's become stronger, together."

"I feel...Kind of bad..." I looked at Todoroki and frowned.

"About what?"

They still hadn't noticed me. Todoroki had sweat on his face.

"I feel like if I get involved...other people mess up their hands...Is it a curse?"

I scoffed as the other two started laughing.

"Todoroki, I didn't know you could make jokes!"

I walked over to the boys, grinning. "Me either, Ice-man."

"Kitia!"

Todoroki didn't look up from his own hands. "No, I'm not joking. I'm like 'The Hand Crusher', or something."

Midoriya, Iida and I all looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"'The Hand Crusher'?!"

I leaned on Todoroki's bed and wiped my eyes. "Man, you need to lighten up!" I nudged him. "Laugh. It was funny."

"Maybe to you."

I grinned. "Always. Hey, did you find out why Endeavor gave me an offer?"

"Hey, wait. Endeavor gave you an offer?!"

I looked at Midoriya. "Oh yea. That's right. You didn't know, huh? Yea. Ice-man and I were trying to figure it out."

"Maybe he saw potential at the sports festival?"

Todoroki and I looked at each other and shook our heads. "Not with the way she mouthed off to him."

Midoriya widened his eyes and blue streaks appeared behind him. "You did that to Endeavor?!"

I shrugged. "He deserved it."

"And I'm not going to argue against that. I think I may have worked it out though."

I shifted to look at Todoroki. "Yea, and?"

He shrugged. "Just because of your power I think. He is obsessed with power. Be careful of him. I don't know what he'll do." The way he looked at me when he said that...

I frowned. "Gross. Not happening. I would literally Fus Do Rah myself off a cliff, before that happened."

Todoroki raised an eyebrow at me.

"It's a Skyrim reference..." I looked at Midoriya and Iida. They shrugged. I widened my eyes. "You poor bastards don't know what Skyrim is?"

They all shook their heads. I sighed. "When we all get out of here, you are coming over to my place and getting an education."

The next day, the doctor came and took my stitches out, like he said he would.

"Now, you can leave, but no 'training' and no fighting villains. Yes, I know were in the middle of an internship when this happened." He said when I opened my mouth. "I've given strict instructions to Gang Orca to not allow you to do any physical work. You can observe, nothing more. I don't want you back in here so soon after this." He indicated my side.

I nodded. "Alright. I'll try."

He sweat-dropped. "No. You won't try, you'll do it."

I grinned. "Yes sir."

"Better. Now, since your parents are deceased, who is your guardian?"

I hesitated. "I don't have one. I live by myself."

The doctor rubbed his chin. "I see..."

I studied him while he was silent. He was tall, with dark brown hair. Grey-blue eyes behind his glasses. He had an average build, so he wasn't intimidating. That is, until he opened his mouth. He was a very firm person, as well as kind. He really suited his profession.

"Legally, I can't let you leave unless you're staying with a guardian."

I jumped up, pulling my jacket on. "But I'm staying with Gang Orca."

"Yes, but he is not your guardian. Unfortunately, you need to stay here until you get a guardian. If there's anyone you can think of right now...?"

I stared at him. "Not right now." I said quietly.

The doctor sighed and put a hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry, but this is how it has to be. I can't release you knowing you're alone, even if you do seem capable."

I just nodded and he left. Great. What I am meant to do now? I walked over to the window and looked down. I took out my phone. I hadn't looked at it since before the attack on the city.

Wow, so many messages. A location link from Midoriya. That was probably from when they took on Stain. Sorry I didn't see it, guys. Missed call from Ashido and Shouji. Whoa, and Mineta? Wait...Nearly everyone tried to call me?

I sighed and typed out a message to the group chat.

Me: Hey guys. Sorry, been busy then ended up in hospital. Stuck here now because Dr won't let me leave. Says I need a guardian before he'll release me. Anyway, hope all you guys are doing better with your internships! I expect stories when I finally manage to get out of here!

I sighed and put my phone down. No one will reply for a while, not with the internships. I heard a knock on my door and turned to see Midoriya.

"I didn't realize you were still here."

He smiled. "I thought you were going to leave today, but obviously not."

I nodded and went sit on the bed. Midoriya sat on the chair. "Yea well. I should have expected it, honestly."

"Your brother would be your guardian, wouldn't he?"

I shook my head. "I mean, he's an adult technically, but he's got a guardian himself, and his guardian hates me, so living on my own is so much easier."

"Oh. That's really sad..." He put his hand on his chin. "Maybe we could find you a guardian. Perhaps one of the teachers who know about your quirks?"

I shook my head. "They all know about that, but I don't want to be a burden on anyone." I laughed. "That is one thing I'm good at. Burdening people."

"Don't say that, Kitia."

"I agree with the lad." We both turned to see Gang Orca at the door.

I smiled and waved. "Hey. Sorry that the internship was cut short..."

He walked over and sat beside me on the bed. I saw out the corner of my eye, Midoriya's eyes shining. He was probably fangirling over Gang Orca. Can't say I blame him.

"That's alright. Your doctor told me why he won't release you. You don't have a guardian?"

I nodded. "Midoriya here suggested one of the teachers at school, but..."

"You're uncomfortable with the idea."

I nodded. "Yea." I looked at Midoriya. "You're allowed to say 'hi', you know."

He got flustered, muttering random words, then jumped up bowing to Gang Orca. "Oh, sorry. Hello, sir. Nice to meet you. And thank-you for looking after my friend."

I blinked and smiled. Gang Orca chuckled. "Hello to you too, and you're very welcome. Your friend is quite the character. She looked after me a lot too."

Midoriya sat down again and smiled. "Yea. I heard about the Nomu. Is it true? Is it dead?"

I grinned. "Doubting me are you, Deku?"

"No...But..."

"Yes. It's dead. The way it died though..." I looked away as Gang Orca glanced at me.

Midoriya frowned. "What happened to it?"

I hesitated and said nothing.

"I'll leave Kitia to answer that. I'm going to see what I can do about this guardianship problem." Gang Orca got up to leave.

"You're going to help me?"

He glanced over his shoulder at me from the doorway. "Of course. It's the least I can do. Besides, you are my intern. You need to be looked after."

I smiled and nodded. He left.

"So, what really happened, Kitia?"

I sighed. "I tore it apart. Not by my bare hands, but something happened. I got angry. I mean, really angry."

I looked at my hands as I told Midoriya the whole story.
