'Where am I.' The uni-hornette mentally grumbled as he felt his face heating up, he uncomfortably opened his eyes and found a certain Rabbit-eared girl sitting beside his bed, staring at him motionlessly. Before he could descend down into a blushing mess due to the proximity of the said girl, he noticed the familiar smells, beeping, bed with no All Might sheets, plain off-white walls.
"I am in a hospital!?" He exclaimed while sitting up straight in an instant.
"YEAH NO SHIT SHERLOCK!"
'Wait... that's-' Izuku looked a little further and saw the younger Bakugo standing with the expression of utter frustration plastered on his face. 'Aww, was he worried for me… wait that can't be good!'
"H-Hey Kacchan."
"DON'T YOU 'HEY KACCHAN' ME, YOU IDIOT!"
"O-Okay, but why am I here?" He murmured to himself while checking over himself for any signs of physical trauma. 'Oh, they would be repaired by now, that's lucky?'
"Wait, so you don't know what went down?" Camie asked while coming closer to the greenette and checked his forehead which was still burning hot. "You still have a fever…"
"Wha… SO THAT WASN'T A DREAM!? Oh my god I forgot to ask for All Might's autograph!"
"THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT!?"
'I didn't even say hi, what's wrong with me?' He thought as all the events from the day came rushing back to him. "U-Usagiyama a-are you fine?"
The girl kept her mouth closed and simply nodded.
Izuku found this quite weird but continued. "A-And Sir Nighteye?"
"He is A-Ok he'll be here in a minute." The fawnette assured.
The greenette was about to ask the girl beside him if she was really alright when suddenly the girl got up...
went closer to the windows...
and...
-jumped out of it!?
"USAGIYAMA!" Izuku screamed as he rushed towards the window and gazed at the silhouette of Rabbit-girl hopping her way down to the ground and running out of his sight.
"What the fuck happened to her?" The ash-blonde asked Camie who was now sitting beside him on a couch in front of the bed.
"She does this when she's feeling uncomfortable or guilty..."
"Guilty? She blames herself for this?" Izuku questioned, while he was still shocked to see his friend jump off a 7th floor window.
"Isn't it!? She's the one who took you to the arena!" The ash-blonde scoffed.
"I-I mean she did, but I had fun there, she looked out for me at all times and there was no way we could've known that villains will interfere with a mere low-end fight-club."
"I still haven't forgiven you so shut up and sit down!"
"O-Okay..."
Camie chuckled to herself after seeing the boys' antics. "Here, lemme call her, I'll let her know that you don't blame her and she'll be calmed down by monday so it's alright!" She said while standing up and going for the door.
"Yeah, please do."
"I gotta call our parents too, there's no telling if Dr. Blondie ratted you guys out… might as well lay the groundwork myself." Katsuki stated flatly while filling out the room, leaving Izuku by himself.
"A-Alright."
A minute or two after his friends left him, he heard a couple of footsteps approaching his room. He thought that the Rabbit-girl must be back but to his surprise the pro hero Nighteye and a sunken eyed blonde entered the room.
"Glad to see you are okay, Young Midoriya, can we talk?" The blonde asked as he helped himself down the couch with his partner in tow.
"Yes s-sir"
Some moments earlier outside Izuku's hospital room
"Wha…?"
"He is the key to your survival Toshinori!", Mirai exclaimed, which was somewhat out of character for the usual serious persona of the man.
"Calm down Mira- Nighteye, you're attracting attention…", The powered down symbol of peace whispered
Mirai gathered his composure and motioned his friend/idol to a couple of chairs attached to the wall outside the greenette's room. He was rather too excited at the moment, the thing he thought impossible was not so much anymore.
All his life he lived in fear of the known, knowing well that no matter what he changes, his visions will come to pass. He had always thought of his quirk as a curse, the only time his views regarding the power he wielded were any different was the time he spent being the side-kick of the most amazing being to ever step foot on this earth, All Might and when he predicted that person's death, all was lost for him. The curse came back, he even vowed to never see anyone's future that far, but maybe he was wrong. And now a mere child showed him that there is still hope…
Hope was a luxury he couldn't afford, to him it was a foolish thought people used to think that their current circumstances would change for the better or their desirable future would come to pass. But knowing what would happen regardless of his actions prohibited him to have that feeling. The only solace he could find was the slightest blind spots in his visions, however the end result was always the same…
Maybe now, he was blessed with this emotion, for once in his life he didn't know what might happen next. You'd think that it will frustrate him, no it was rather peaceful this way
He'd have to make this one count.
"Okay, now tell me what do you mean by Key and my survival", The husky-self of the no.1 hero asked his friend while adjusting his suit, 'Glad I didn't came in the same outfit, the kid would have recognized me''
"You remember our conversation two years ago?"
Toshinori was still hesitating on bringing the topic up and wishing that he could just enjoy talking to his friend without being constantly reminded that he's going to die soon by the hands of a villain no-less
"Y-Yes, I do"
"I feel like my vision's are not as concrete as I thought"
"What do you mean", The blonde was stumped as Mirai has never doubted his quirk, it was the sole reason behind his usual emotionless personality
"It means if it were for my vision, I'd be leaving this hospital from the backdoor", he stated flatly expecting full well that the man in front of him could have a heart attack from this information drop
"WHAT!"
"Now who's inviting attention"
"Don't change the topic Mirai! How can you be so selfish, you knew you were gonna die and still went on that mission! You never think about the ones who care about you do you!"
"The hypocrisy is impalpable", The 'Foresight' user spoke sarcastically
"Don't mock me Mirai… I-I know what I did, I had to-"
Before he could descend down into acknowledging how he was committing suicide by pushing himself due to his duties, the ex-sidekick intervened, "I know, but all that doesn't matter anymore, it seems we didn't checked every healing quirk after all"
"What do you mean? Oh, The child with a single horn has a healing quirk, but I thought his quirk is like Recovery Girl just with the exception that it utilizes his own stamina, since he fainted right after healing you?"
The lean statured man sighed, "Yeah, I presumed that as well, but his doctor told me that he has the ability to 'Rewind' any organic substance based lifeforms to their previous biological state, including humans"
Toshinori paled, "T-That's an exceptional quirk, are you sure that is it?"
The said man took off his overcoat and showed him his arm that had an entirely different skin tone than the rest of him, "He reverted my whole arm within a blink of an eye"
"YOU LOST YOUR ARM!?"
"Focus Toshinori… He can heal you!"
While the blonde still couldn't believe that such a power existed, he wasn't sure if that was a wise idea, "I don't think it would be that easy. When he was healing you he said that he didn't had enough 'Time', so I am guessing it's an accumulation quirk of some kind"
"..."
"What? I am smart…"
"..."
"Oh come on, that's just mean"
"...fine. Now let's go fix you up", Nighteye announced
"Wait. We can't just waltz in there and ask him to heal a complete stranger without any pretext or consent from his guardian. Not to mention he will require a reason as to how I got the injury in the first place."
"Then reveal your identity to him"
"You want me to what!"
"If it'll heal you, then you should do whatever you can", Mirai completed while motioning him to enter the room
"Tell you what, we'll ask him to stay in touch and run a background search to find out more about him, plus the kid had a rough day, let him relax for now."
The 'Foresight' user sighed in defeat, "Fine"
With that they entered the room of the magic 'Healer'...
In the city of Tokyo,
The Rabbit-eared girl was running wild, hooping her way through the rooftops midst the town towards her apartment,
"Never again", she announced to herself while stopping on top of a shopping mall to calm herself down,
'Why did I have to do this! First I took him to a reckless fight which took a turn for the worst, then I left him at the hospital as soon as he woke up!'
She was about to drown in self-loathing when her phone flared up, at first she didn't even wanted to look at it, thinking that Izuku might be the caller but she saw the name of her roommate and decided otherwise
"H-Hey", she whispered and sniffed into her devise while taking a seat at the edge of the building
"Rums? Are you crying!? Where are you?"
Apparently due to the adrenaline rush she didn't noticed the flow of the damn earducts, the silverette wiped her cheeks with the sleeves of her shirt and replied,
"No! I-I am not"
"It's alright, but why did you leave? I thought you were over this habit of yours"
"It's better this way, better for him to stay away from me, like he should have back then"
"First of all it's not! You should've seen his face when you jumped out and secondly THAT was 8 years ago"
"It's fine Camie, i-is he fine though? The doctors said he'll be discharged but Nighteye didn't leave the hospital."
Realisation hit Rumi like a truck, 'Nighteye… he'd be questioning Izuku. I left him all by himself… again!'
"He was chatting with a malnutritioned sunken-eyed blonde outside the room, I don't think he'll rat you guys out. Now are you coming here or should I come back home"
'Could it be him?' She thought as a picture of a similar description of a man being on the brink of death by a car came up in her mind
The silverette deliberated her options, she really wanted to be beside the uni-hornette but she couldn't face him either, in a moment of hesitation she gave up
"I-I can't… I'll meet you back home"
There was a pause on the other side after which the fawnette replied "Fine, I'll bring dinner", after which she dropped the call.
The Rabbit-eared girl gritted her teeth and screamed at the top of her lungs, flushing out all the frustration bottled up. She had attracted enough attention, so before the staff could come up she bolted from her position and hopped her way to the apartment she called home.
Back in the hospital,
"Hello Young Midoriya, myself Toshinori Yagi-" Before he could complete his introduction his comrade intervened.
"Where is the girl?"
The boy in front of the deflated No.1 hero visibly frowned. "S-She left, sir." He took a pause and continued. "A-Are we in t-trouble?"
Toshinori knew that Sir's usual persona can be too intimidating for a timid soul, so he decided to take over. "Certainly not Young Midoriya. In Fact the girl saved my life today."
The greenette's eyes glittered. "S-She's amazing." Izuku whispered to himself but was enough to be heard by the two adults in the room.
"And your other friends?" Nighteye continued.
"Uh, Kacchan is calling our parents and Utsushimi is checking on Usagiyama."
Even though the blonde was pleased at the fact that he was able to meet his healer? In person without any disturbance but thanking the girl for saving his life would've been better.
"So as I was saying, my name is Toshinori Yagi and I am All Might's assistant-" He was again interrupted but now from.
"OH MY GOD! Youworkwithallmight, IamsuchabigfanofhisallmylifeIhaveaspiredtobesomeonelikehim, Ican'tbelieveImettwopeoplethatworkedalongsidehiminasingleday...waitbutIdidmethimtoobutIwastoooutofmymindthatIliterallythoughtthatwasadream, Ohpleasesircanyousayhitohimformeplease-"
While the man was stumped at the teen fanboying on his other personality, he tried to calm the kid down.
"Breathe, Midoriya."
While the kid was trying to calm himself down, Toshinori mentally cheered, at their first encounter he felt like he didn't like him very much… as he was neither intimidated, happy or surprised to see him, but now it was quite flattering to see that the kid idolized him.
"I'd be honored to set up a get-together with All Might and yourself."
The boy shot up on his bed with eyes widened and stars flickering in them. "R-Really!?"
The blonde noticed that there was no remorse from his sidekick on the matter so he went along with it. "Absolutely, he might be busy in the next couple of weeks but how about we set it up on the first of next month?"
"YES! B-But don't you have to c-check with him first? And c-can I bring m-my friends?"
"Only the 4 of you, no more, no less." Sir announced while adjusting his glasses.
"T-THANK YOU!"
"D-Don't thank me Young Midoriya, yourself and your friend saved many lives today, two of which are very dear to All Might, I am sure he'd love to meet you. But first might I ask you some questions."
Izuku sat back down and nodded.
"What were you doing at the Fight-Club?"
The boy took his time, probably deliberating whether to spill the truth or lie through his teeth. "Uhh, I hope what I am a-about to say wouldn't be on record?"
The blonde wasn't officially in charge of the case so he let his ex-? Sidekick take this one
"As I said, officially you were not on the scene today and we got help from All Might and a masked fighter who fled the scene."
"O-Okay, well… uhh, Usagiyama and I went there to fight..."
"That's not very responsible of you, Young Midoriya."
The boy dropped his head in shame. "Y-Yes sir, I am sorry for that."
"It's fine, just don't try anything like this ever again." Nighteye said in a flat tone.
The sunken-eyed symbol was quite astonished to see his sidekick not yelling or scolding the teenager for his reckless actions. 'He is really trying to make this work'. Toshinori knew that Mirai was a man of discipline, he wouldn't be caught dead not holding someone accountable or giving them an appropriate punishment.
"I-Is there anything else you want to know sir?"
"Yes, Young Midoriya… what is your goal in life, what would you like to become?" Toshinori asked, he was still nervous about the ordeal and if the boy wasn't interested in heroics or medicine, then his healing would be far more complex than he thought.
"I want to become a hero!"
"Why?" The lean statured man questioned.
The kid's eyes glistened. "I think saving someone is the coolest thing anyone can do. I want people to see my fearless smile and feel safe and be just like All Might!"
The two heroes internally cheered. 'Yes!' However, Toshinori was having a supplementary thought. 'Maybe he should be the one...'
"That's very noble of you young man, I hope you'll achieve what you aspire, and with a healing power of that calibre that shouldn't be a problem."
Before Izuku could respond to the blonde's blessings, Sir decided to speak his thoughts. "Why not a doctor? From what Dr. Hachisuka-san told me, you can heal just about any disease that exists in this world."
"A-Actually with my quirk, I am not sure if being a hero would be a sailing ride..."
"What do you mean?" Toshinori enquired, maybe he was right about his quirk after all.
"My quirk 'Rewind' is a type of an accumulative ability, it stores up 'Time' which I use to rewind a person's body back to a certain point. If I were to be a doctor there maybe one or two major cases a month that I could 'cure'. Other times I'll just be a quirkless physician."
"Pardon me, but wouldn't the same hinder your hero-work?"
"Yes Yagi-san, but I could do much more to help people in heroics, I can heal emergency wounds, certainly would help in being a rescue hero. And I have recently found that erasing someone's quirk takes a lot less time then I imagined..."
"ERASING QUIRKS! DEKU WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!" A certain explosive blonde barged in the room with the fawnette in tow.
"I believe this would be an appropriate time that we leave." Sir whispered to the deflated hero.
"Uhh, yes. Thank you Young Midoriya for answering our questions. We'll take our leave and I think you'll be discharged soon. Take care young man, I'll notify you for the meeting."
Izuku stood up and bowed to them. "Thank you for everything, I hope we didn't cause you too much trouble today."
Within a moment the two adults filed out of their room, while they were walking down the corridor they could still hear the ash-blonde kid yelling at the top of his lungs and a girl giggling.
"Ahem, you didn't tell me the kid could ERASE quirks!" Toshinori finally spoke after they were out of the facility and in his station-wagon.
"The doctor didn't bring it up, perhaps he learned that all on his own?"
"I don't think so, but it's evident we'll be having quite a get-together in a couple of weeks."
Nighteye sighed. 'This got complicated quickly.'
"I believe so, All Might."
The sunken-eyed husk of a symbol was hesitating on the subject but giving in, he asked. "You want to catch up...?"
"I would like that."
The next morning
"K-Kacchan? What time did mom say that they were gonna be here?" The greenette enquired while picking up the daily newspaper.
"I don't know, somewhere around 12? Why?" The blonde informed, he still hadn't forgiven him for his escapade but he had decided to go a little easy on him, for today at least.
"W-We got a b-bit of a p-problem..."
"What do you mean?" Katsuki spoke as he noticed the shocked stature of his friend standing frozen on the doorstep.
"T-this..."
Katsuki moved closer to him and glanced at the daily news, he paled when he saw the front-page news.
ALL MIGHT SAVES THE DAY YET AGAIN!
The lines weren't the issue but the picture, the portrait of All Might flashing his smile accompanied by three other photos, one of Rumi flying kicking a villain alond-side the pro which was a pretty amazing picture to say the least, another of Katsuki struggling to get out of the hold of a police officer while a certain fawnette tried to calm him down.
And finally of Izuku being dropped unconscious and in the hands of pro hero Nighteye as he walks towards a conveniently placed ambulance.
"Oh shit…"
