Y/n's POV
I can't handle this anymore. Somehow the dreamscape has only gotten worse. I no longer have any concept of time and I don't think I have anything left to throw up anymore. I now have seen Aizawa and Yamada come to rescue me more times than I can count. Every single time they either die in a horribly gruesome way or they transform into monsters themselves and hurt me. I'm currently huddled in a corner on the verge of passing out. I keep the area around me secure by the constant use of my quirk as a pressure so that anything that comes near will get stuck under it.
My eyes burn and my head throbs in pain. A lot of my wounds have fully scabbed over and so I use the cloth on them to stop bleeding elsewhere. I feel sticky with sweat and as I look over myself my stomach does flips knowing that there is some blood that isn't mine. The dreamscape has become more and more personal and I have even watched my younger self get tortured. There's no escape...there's no hope. Even if Dad finds me I don't know if I'll be able to tell reality from this nightmare.
Aizawa's POV
Thanks to Midoriya's insight on the situation I realized that I might've saved Y/n from this villain's hideout years ago. It was of course very probable that they would've moved by now but there could be some clues as to where they had gone to. All of UA's network as well as the police's network of those involved in this investigation had all camera footage around the city on the look out for the villains descriptions.
A few days have passed and apparently they found out where the villains were hiding, although there was no guarantee that Y/n was also there. I volunteered to scout it out and came to the conclusion that my son was there even if it was just based on instinct. Either way we would capture the villains who took him and find out where he is. The mission is planned for tonight and as far as we know there aren't any other villains besides Shigaraki and Kurogiri and so we go in with a small group comprised of Midnight, Present Mic, All Might, a few police squads, and myself. I was not in the plan to fight but rather to find Y/n and get him out while the villains are distracted.
Getting in through the backdoor was fairly easy and I headed straight to the basement. I could hear the fighting going on upstairs as I rush down the hall that's lined with locked doors. They almost all have a red x on them until the last one. I peer through the window but the room is completely dark so I instead start picking the lock, which is a lot harder to do when your hands are bandaged up. Once the door is opened a light flickers on and I see Y/n curled up in the corner of the room. He looks up at me but his eyes look pale in comparison to normal and his pupils are dilated. He looks pretty beat up but he barely acknowledges that I'm here at all and instead buries his head back into his knees.
Unsure of whatever must've happened to him I move closer and say, "I'm here now. They can't hurt you anymore I promise." When I'm a foot away from reaching him I feel stuck in place. He's using his quirk in this state? My eyes flash red and he looks up at me, eyes starting to tear up. They seem to brighten the slightest bit before returning to their pale colour. A sob racks his body as he presses himself farther against the wall almost as if he's trying to get away from me. "Y/n you've gotta breathe for me ok?" He looks up confused and it's like he staring right through me. I finally understand that he must've been injected with something or has some sort of quirk effect on him right now that makes him hallucinate or not see something that's right in front of him. "I'm here and I'm not leaving you. I'm going to hug you now so just close your eyes and breathe with me ok?" I hug him and he immediately tenses before closing his eyes. He doesn't seem to relax all that much but his breathing has returned to a somewhat normal rate.
"I think you are under some kind of quirk right now that also happens to cause you injury when something that's not real hurts you. I'm going to get you out of here and I'm sure the effects will start to wear off as soon as we leave. Until then I'm not going to let you go and I'm going to wrap this around your eyes. If you can't see anything hopefully the quirk won't do any more damage ok?" He simply grips me tighter as I tie some fabric over his eyes. "Just try to stay calm and think of happy thoughts. We'll be out of here as quick as possible."
Y/n's POV
When Aizawa came down the hallway again this time he sounded closer than before. Things seemed to be way to close to reality so I buried my head back in my knees. I felt my quirk's strain stop so I look up at Aizawa in hopeful desperation. For a moment I thought that this was real and I was being rescued this time until I saw blades drop from the ceiling leaving nothing more than a bloody mess in front of me. Instinctively I try to back away from what I'm looking at. His voice met my ears and I glance around wondering how he could still talk when he was nothing more than mutilated flesh. I felt arms gently wrap around me and I tensed as I could feel him but couldn't see him. I closed my eyes as he suggested and I started to slow down my breathing.
I felt a piece of fabric get wrapped around my head and when I opened my eyes I couldn't see anything so I come to the conclusion that this really is reality and I'm not just hallucinating him being here this time. I feel my body get lifted from the ground and I bury my head into what I think is Aizawa's neck but it's hard to tell since it seems he's thoroughly wrapped in bandages. He smells like home and that calms me a bit more. I could also tell that he was paying attention to where he was holding me since I had a lot of cuts and bruises. Soon enough we make it outside into the cool night air and I finally let myself go knowing that I'm safe now.
Aizawa's POV
I feel Y/n go limp in my arms and hold back my panic. I can still feel his breath against my neck so I conclude he just passed out. I'm sure he hasn't gotten any rest at all since he got here and I doubt he was being fed either. The fight ended pretty quickly from what I heard. Apparently the villains got away which doesn't surprise me much. Hizashi was the first to come up to me and question what happened. I shrug and simply relay the events to him before he ushers us over to an ambulance we had parked around the corner. The paramedics were quick to hook up Y/n to fluids and pain killers before cleaning his open wounds and giving him antibiotics. I stayed in the back and sat right next to him, watching closely for any signs of stirring. I was a little relieved when they checked his eyes and I was able to see that the colour had returned to normal.
None of his injuries seemed to be life threatening and they suspect he passed out from both mental and physical exhaustion. After arriving at the hospital I filled out a few forms for him and gave my report of what I think happened to him while he was kidnapped. The doctors also asked if I needed any help at all with a pointed look at my bandaged arms and face. I wave them off as best I can without showing any sign of pain. My arms hurt so bad since I carried all of Y/n's weight on them when they are barely starting to heal. I get Hizashi to help me sling both arms back against my body to relieve some of the pain while the doctors took the unconscious Y/n in to do an MRI. The results come back and everything seems to be fine with no abnormalities.
However even if everything was physically fine there was almost a guarantee that not everything was fine mentally. This was evident when Y/n woke up for the first time while the nurses were putting in some new IVs. He lashed out and moved as far away from everyone as possible before taking in his surroundings and then curled up and sobbed inconsolably. There wasn't much I could do to help besides suppress his quirk so he didn't harm anyone with it. I gave the nurses the go ahead to inject him with some sedatives to calm him down enough to put in the IVs.
They didn't give him enough to have him unconscious since they knew keeping him awake might be the only way to see what's wrong and how they could help. Once the IVs were in and everything was in proper order they left me alone with him. I sit next to him on the edge of the bed and want nothing more than to run my hand up and down his back in order to support him like normal. Unfortunately my injury isn't going away anytime soon. "You look like a mummy..." he says followed by a short giggle. I roll my eyes and realize that this kid is probably really high on pain killers and sedatives right now so any serious conversation should probably wait.
"I wanna go home..." he says quietly, fresh tears forming in his eyes. "Me too kid. Me too. However being here is for the best right now until we get everything sorted out." I sigh and he curls up against my side before he says, "Please don't die again." My heart hurts as I think over what he possibly means by that. "I won't. I promise."
Midoriya's POV
We've all received news that Y/n was found and rescued and so we all planned to visit him in the hospital. Present Mic however said that only family members were allowed to visit in this hospital since it is a well protected hero hospital. Everyone seemed dejected at that statement so I offered to take any sort of gift to him for them. They all agreed and now here I am outside the hospital with a bag full of different gifts. I asked Shinso if he wanted to accompany me but he figured the hospital would only allow immediate family so he declined.
I go up to the front desk and ask if I'd be able to see Y/n Aizawa. They asked for my name, ID and relation to the patient before saying that Aizawa was not excepting visitors at this time. I tried to ask why but they simply responded with, "It's confidential." Just as I'm about to leave my name gets called. I turn and see Aizawa Sensei still bandaged up and struggling to carry his coffee mug. I move to help him but he turns and walks away. He stops and looks at me giving a small nod to the side before moving in that direction. I quickly catch on that he wants me to follow him and rush to his side.
"He's unstable right now so just... don't say or do anything stupid." Unstable? As in on the verge of dying? Or as in emotions fluctuating rapidly making him dangerous? I nod as we enter a room. Y/n sits on the bed fidgeting with his IVs. He looks pale and bandages cover a lot of his arms. I noticed that Aizawa had knocked before entering the room and tries to make noise while entering in order to not startle him suddenly. His e/c eyes meet mine and start tearing up. "Hey... there's no need to cry." I say softly tearing up myself. "We're both ok... that's all that matters." I move towards him cautiously and hesitantly sit on the bed. I don't touch him because I don't know what might trigger him right now no matter how much I want to hug him and confirm that he's really alive and ok.
Instead I pull up the bag I had with me and took out gifts one by one explaining what they are and who they're from. Sato had made a get well soon cake. Todoroki got a silver chain bracelet for him. Everyone got a different charm that represented them in some way that he could attach to the bracelet. Jiro gave him an mp3 with a lot of different songs on them, all of them uplifting. Shinso got him a kitten plushie with a note saying 'Lev is doing great under my care but he still misses you'. Everyone signed a get well soon card with their own little notes. I got him a notebook filled with funny pictures and anecdotes for when he's feeling down, most of which were from our class.
Tears roll steadily down Y/n's face and I'm unsure if that's a bad thing or not. Are they happy tears or sad tears? "I'm-I'm sorry. My brain... it keeps telling me that this is all just-just a dream. I hope it's not... I really do. Watching the ones you love die over and over and over again in different horrible ways, randomly, is just... I don't want you to die. I can't handle watching that again and so I hope I won't have to see it again. Every time some one enters the room I expect them to transform into a monster or die horribly. I know it's not going to happen... but it feels like it will and I imagine it happening so what's the difference..."
"It's not a dream Y/n, I promise you it's real. We're all alive and well, in fact everyone is now so happy that you're safe and not dying or something." I place my hand gently over his and he moves it to hold it instead. In an effort to lighten the atmosphere a little I say, "So what's the deal between you and Todoroki cause like I'm pretty sure getting jewelry for someone is usually what people who are dating would do." With his other hand he hit my chest and started to get all embarrassed. "What's this I hear about dating?" Aizawa says. I giggle as Y/n stammers out some mostly incoherent retorts about not dating and liking someone but not liking them. Mood successfully lightened.
