Chapter Seven: Results, Fallout, and Lullabies

~A/N~ Here we go Chapter Seven. Let's go.

Chapter Start!

~Jaku General Hospital~

All Might stepped up to a large set of metal doors. They didn't match the rest of the hospital at all. 'She's behind these doors,' Yoichi's voice echoed.

"Let's get her," All Might said as he placed a hand on the door. A moment later it was twenty feet inside the room in a shattered wreck.

"Empty?" All Might said seeing nothing in the room save for one large tank.

'They knew we were coming' En's voice spoke.

~Few Minutes Prior~

"Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit," Ujiko panicked as he grabbed stacks of paper and shoved them into a briefcase. Behind him, several Nomu rushed about grabbing cords and tubs. As one started to approach the last unmoved tank the doctor waved it off. "Leave her,"

The Nomu obeyed and moved to a different tank. The doctor took a slow breath as several misty portals opened. The Nomu already knew their jobs and started moving stuff through.

"Forty-Six years and you never broke," Ujiko growled looking at the tank. He wanted so badly to smash the tank, kill her, and leave. But orders were orders. So with a grumble, he stepped through a portal.

~With All Might~

"How?" All Might questioned as he looked at Nana's slumbering form. "She looks younger than when I knew her,"

'She's been regressed to when I knew her,' En's voice confirmed. 'Does All For One have an age regression quirk now?'

"What would be the point to regress Nana?" All Might wondered.

'Perhaps to continue the torture or possibly to make her into a weapon,' Yoichi suggested.

'The big question. Do we try and wake her?' Daigoro asks.

"I'm unsure," All Might says looking over the tank. He couldn't find anything overly worrying about it. No explosives in view.

'Danger sense isn't picking anything up. Granted it's not perfect for catching traps,' Hikage states.

"Here goes nothing," All Might says abruptly.

'Fingers crossed,' Yoichi adds while All might turns off the tank. A few seconds pass before the tank starts to hum. The liquid within drains slowly air beings hissing out of the sides.

'So far so good,' En says. Once the liquid is gone the sides of the tank split and open releasing Nana. All Might catches Nana as her body beings to fall. Whatever power had been holding her was now gone.

"Nana?" All Might speaks quietly. He checks and finds her pulse. It's strong but she's unresponsive.

'We should get her to Recovery Girl,' En says.

"Good idea," All Might agrees pulling out his phone.

~Midoriya Apartment~

Izumi sat curled up on the couch. She smiled softly watching Ochaco and Daiki 'fight' in a color off. Daiki had taken to Ochaco very quickly. Probably because she would bring mochi with her.

"Ha!" Ochaco shouts. "I win!" She added holding up a picture of a spaceship.

"You forgot to color the stars in," Izumi returned.

"Oh dang," Ochaco said in mock sorrow.

"Finished!" Daiki shouted showing his picture. "It's momma," Izumi couldn't hold herself back. She grabbed Daiki pulling him into a big hug.

"Oh my baby," Izumi cried.

"Momma big squeeze," Daiki laughed feeling Izumi squeeze him a little tighter. A camera click brought the two back from their hug. Izumi's eyes moved over to Ochaco who was snapping picture after picture.

"You two are so dang cute," Ochaco squealed.

"Mochimon thinks momma is cute?" Daiki asks getting Izumi to blush

"Mochimon. I get a nickname," Ochaco smiled brightly.

"He's never given a nickname that fast," Izumi commented trying to change the subject.

"I'm honored," Ochaco blushed now. "So have we distracted ourselves long enough?" Her eyes moved to a pair of envelopes sitting on the coffee table.

"You're right. No point in putting it off any longer," Izumi said finally letting go of Daiki. "You want to go first?"

"Sure," Ochaco smiled deviously.

"What?" Izumi barely started before Ochaco grabbed Izumi's letter and ripped it open letting a small disk fall out.

"Why you-"

"I AM HERE!" All Might's voice boomed out.

"AH!" The adults cried out in unison.

"Jesus. I wasn't expecting that," Izumi said patting her chest.

"Right. All Might would be great at jump scares," Ochaco added.

"Big guy funny," Daiki giggled watching the large form of All Might begin.

"Now then. Let's begin. Midoriya Izumi. You scored in the ninety-third percentile for the written exam," All Might started.

"Smartypants," Ochaco quipped.

"Oh hush," Izumi returned with a smile.

"As for the practical," All Might's trademark smile widened. "You scored a massive One-Hundred-Five Assault Points,"

"Holy crap," Ochaco shouted. "That's so many,"

"But beyond that," All Might continued as a screen behind him came to life. It showed Izumi flying at the Sero-Pointer while Hitoshi ran towards Ochaco. "How can we call ourselves a Hero school and not reward heroic acts," the video continued showing Izumi launching her molten inferno at the massive bot. As the fires ended Izumi's name appeared on a screen. Showing her name in the first spot. "For saving not one but two of your fellow examinees and destroying the Zero-pointer in the process. We've awarded you Eighty Rescue points,"

"One-Hundred-Eighty-Five that's gotta be the record," Ochaco stated.

"Congratulations you've taken the spot for the second-highest score of all time," All Might smiled. "We look forward to seeing you grow even more." the video ended.

"I didn't think I did that good," Izumi said.

"Momma did it!" Daiki shouted as he jumped around.

"No. Your momma crushed it," Ochaco corrected.

"Well your turn now," Izumi said grabbing Ochaco's letter. This time they were ready for All Might's entrance.

"I AM HERE!" All Might's voice boomed again. "Uraraka Ochaco. You scored in the eighty-ninth percentile in the written exam,"

"Smartypants," Izumi shot back getting Ochaco to plush.

"As for the practical," All Might continued. "You scored an excellent Twenty-Five Assault Points,"

"I wasn't even close to you," Ochaco laughed.

"But what sort of Hero school doesn't reward selfless acts," All Might said as the screen came to life again. This time it showed Ochaco using her quirk to help several other examinees. "As such, we've awarded you with Forty Rescue Points,"

"Sixty-Five is a great score," Izumi said smiling at Ochaco.

"We look forward to seeing you grow even more," again the video ended.

"Is that how he welcomes us to U.A. I feel like he could've done better at that," Ochaco chuckled.

"Mochimon got in!" Daiki shouted still hopping around in joy.

~U.A.~

Toshinori paced in the hall outside of the medical wing within U.A. His nerves were shot. Recovery Girl had kicked him out almost as soon as he had put Nana into one of the beds. That had been hours ago at this point. And still, she hadn't come out.

"I fear you will walk a hole in my floor if you keep this up," Nezu spoke as he watched Toshinori's pacing.

"I can't sit still. Not right now," Toshinori replied.

"And I'm not asking you too. But perhaps you should go get some food or fresh air. You will be called once she's done," Nezu stated in a very 'Do it' tone.

"Very well. I will return shortly," Toshinori retorted before walking away. Once he left Nezu hopped off the bench and entered the medical wing.

"I was wondering how long he'd pace," Recovery Girl said looking up from her desk.

"He'd still be at it if I hadn't forced him to get some fresh air," Nezu replied. "How is she?"

"All her readings are fine. Nothing out of place. Her body is exhausted. The best I can figure is whatever state they had her in kept her from receiving any real rest," Chiyo explained.

"Any idea if she wake soon?" Nezu asks.

"If we're lucky she'll wake in the morning," Chiyo replies.

"Very well. I'll leave you to it and I will inform Toshinori," Nezu states.

"Make sure he gets some sleep. It will do him no good staying up all night," Recovery Girl calls out as Nezu leaves the office.

~Midoriya Apartment: Evening~

Izumi's heart was pounding. She hadn't expected this. She knew she wanted to have fun but she hadn't thought Ochaco would be the one to instigate it. But she had. Ochaco had kissed her first. It was a quick chaste kiss but it was the start. They had been all over each other after that. Hands groping and caressing as they heatedly kissed. To Izumi's surprise, Ochaco was very dominating when it came to sex. And she loved it. She always preferred to be submissive in the bedroom. She had no issue being dominant but letting her partner control the pace just felt better to her.

The two had found their way to Izumi's room. "Wait," Izumi stopped.

"I'm going too fast aren't I?" Ochaco asked.

"No... I don't want to lead you on," Izumi replied.

"Oh, You're not ready for that?" Ochaco asked.

"I don't know if I'll ever be ready for a relationship again," Izumi said looking down. She couldn't bring herself to look Ochaco in the eyes.

"Hey," Ochaco said cupping Izumi's cheek and getting her to look up. "I'm ok with it," She added before kissing Izumi again.

"Really?" Izumi asked after their kiss.

"I won't try to force you into anything. But I won't say no if you just wanna fool around," Ochaco smiled. Izumi couldn't hold back her smile as she leaned in and kissed Ochaco.

The sound of thunder made Izumi pull back and nearly cause Ochaco to fall. "What?" Ochaco asked.

"Daiki," Izumi said and on cue, Daiki could be heard crying and running through the halls.

"Momma!" Daiki cried as Izumi met him at her door. He was quickly enveloped in her arms.

"It's ok baby. Mommy's here," Izumi said trying to calm her terrified son.

"Scary," Daiki cried as he buried his face into Izumi's neck. She brought him over to the bed as another crack of thunder rang out. Daiki whimpered into Izumi's neck again.

Ochaco moved over and pulled the blankets up so Izumi could lay down without letting go of Daiki. Izumi mouthed thanks as she curled up with Daiki.

"Little child, be not afraid, The rain pounds harsh against the glass, Like an unwanted stranger, There is no danger, I am here tonight" Izumi started to sing quietly. As she sang Ochaco decided to take a risk and moved to Izumi's otherside. Putting Daiki between them. Daiki seemed to calm down a little more once he felt another pair of arms wrap around him.

"Little child, Be not afraid, Though thunder explodes, And lightning flash, Illuminates your tear-stained face, I am here tonight," Izumi continued to sing softly. Daiki's trembling slowly subsided even as the thunder continued to crash through the skies.

"And someday you'll know, That nature is so, This same rain that draws you near me, Falls on rivers and land, On forests and sand, Makes the beautiful world that you'll see, In the morning," Daiki smiled softly now sleeping peacefully in his mother's arms. Izumi looked toward Ochaco. Another silent thanks was given as the two drifted off themselves.

~End Notes~ I hope you enjoyed the chapter. let me know what you thought.

Also if you're wondering. Izumi is a Switch that prefers Sub. She's also Bi with no real preference for her partner's gender and cares more about who they are as a person. Ochaco will not be Izumi's final love interest in the story. I still haven't decided who that will be.
