I woke up an hour ago and I am currently staring like a doofus in the mirror. Not only do I look mostly the same, but I look cartoonish. I actually look pretty cool though. But that's not the point!
The point is, I am in the hospital after knocking myself silly, and they won't let me go because I need to be interviewed as a potential threat to All Might.
Were my fingers cold or something, so they think I have some sort of ice quirk?
As I am pondering what may be the problem out loud to myself while pacing back and forth in the room assigned to me, I didn't even notice I had visitors until I bumped right into some dude's chest and almost fell AGAIN.
The guy caught me before I could get serious brain damage and I am so grateful and immediately start apologizing until I look at who it is that kept me from falling.
He just used his quirk on me. He just looked into my future THIS IS SO COOL!
I didn't even realize that I had super zoomed into his face to get a closer look at his eye until he spoke saying "Do you always make a habit of reaching out to strangers?"
I quickly backed up, but he was still holding onto me, which I thanked him for. "I wish I could say I am capable of walking without falling, but air has been known to trip me when I am simply minding my own business while going down the sidewalk."
His face twitched. Did I piss him off already? DANG IT!
"What's your name and why are you here since you are obviously foreign?"
Sir Nighteye asked me a great question, and I opened my mouth to answer before stopping and realizing I really don't know!
The confusion on my face must have been extremely evident, because he let me go and even took a step back.
Thank goodness, because this dude has a super tight grip, but he did keep me from falling so that's good.
Well, I know my name!
"My name is y/n l/n! I have no idea how I got here but yes I am very foreign, but man I am so glad I learned to speak Japanese or this would be unbearably sad!"
I heard a soft chuckle to my left and I turned and
"OMG MIRIO, I am so glad to meet you both and you are just as cool as I ….why are you guys looking at me like…oh wait."
In my excitement, I managed to not only be viewed as a possible villain trying to hurt All Might, but a villain after Pro Heroes in general.
Sir and Mirio took me back to his headquarters and I really wish I could wipe the look of pure joy off my face from everything I am seeing but….I have never once been known as being mature when I am excited. I was looking around so much, I totally forgot I was supposed to be following them and not straying.
I don't even remember when I walked away, but
I HEARD BUBBLE GIRL.
I found her practicing giving her report to Sir and trying to be funny. I almost wanna cry. She is really REALLY not funny at all!
"Uh…" I muttered. The sudden noise made her jump in surprise. "You know, when you are trying to be funny, you can't make it obvious you are trying to be funny like you are reading from a script, or it won't be funny."
"Oh." Her shoulders dropped and she looked so sad, my heart broke for her.
"Wait, please don't be sad! I'll help you and you'll be able to get Sir to laugh for real, okay?" I smiled at her hoping she would at least believe me a little.
"Why would you help me?" She slowly asked.
I looked her straight in the eye and said, "Life has an overabundance of sadness and pain. Smiling and laughter, when it is genuine, it has this effect on people. It warms them like the sun when they don't feel it in their life. Being able to make people smile, laugh, and eventually relax, it's a wonderful feeling. So I'm going to help you so you can see the effects yourself okay?" I smiled at her again before putting my hand in hers. "You can do it. I know it!"
She smiled at me and did one hard nod. "Alright, let's get started." I exclaimed.
On the opposite side of the wall of the room we were in, I didn't realize Sir and Mirio had been watching, just in case before walking away to wait for Bubble Girl's debut.
At least 30 minutes later, Bubble girl pumped up a fist," I'm ready! I can do this!" I beamed at her and followed her to Sir's office. She suddenly paused before touching the door handle and looked at me nervously. "No. You can do this. You know you can, and I for sure know you can. So go in there and provide bubbling laughter from Sir!"
She giggled and nodded, took a deep breath, and opened the door. I waited outside just in c…
"Miss l/n, you can come in as well." Dang, I just remembered Sir said to NOT stray. I walk into his office like a pathetic kicked dog before looking at Bubble girl and remembering why I was here with her in the first place.
We made eye contact and I smiled, giving her a thumbs up. She smiled in return and began.
"There was an alert sent out to pro heroes on the westside of Tokyo when one of the trains went completely off the rails. It was thought to be an impoppable situation, but Fatfum, managed to prevent any civilians from being harmed while others joining him, made sure to hold back traffic.." She had looked up at Sir with that impoppable pun, and he was actually smiling, which encouraged her to keep going.
After all of her bubble puns and read weaved into her report almost seamlessly, she looked terrified when Sir stood up from behind his desk to move toward her.
"Wait!" I shouted. I didn't even realize when I moved in front of her but here I am, having a stare down with freaking Sir Nighteye.
"Please don't tickle her ok? Tickling is amazingly funny UNTIL YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR RIBS ARE ABOUT TO CRACK. I mean, she did pretty good right? You smiled and everything!" I exclaimed. It wasn't until I said that, that I noticed he was still smiling. Even while I am begging him to not tickle Bubble Girl. I must have actually lost my dang mind….
"I am simply telling both of you," he said calmly, "well done." I beamed and turned to her, "I knew you could do it!"
"However," Sir continued, "how you seem to know so much, when there is no record of anyone with your name and/or features living or even visiting Japan at all at this time." I didn't even notice the looks they were giving me. How do I even begin to explain? Even I can see why they'd think I am a villain. This sucks! Oh wait!
"Sir, didn't you use your quirk on me earlier?" I asked. He did a short nod but frowned when I said, "well surely you can see everything about me right? I want to tell you guys, but I really don't think you would believe me. I don't even believe me." I said sadly, while looking down at the floor.
"Miss l/n, I want to show you something." I looked up at him and nodded sadly. He pointed me over to his desk and motioned for me to have a seat. I did so without fighting.
He clicked a couple of buttons on his laptop before pulling up a video. He pressed play and as I watched, I didn't see anything too weird. It looks kinda like…
A blip of light and suddenly, there I was. There…..I was? All I could do was stare, watching everything that led to me meeting All Might and so on, but only one thing kept in forefront of my mind as the video ended.
"What the heck was that light?" I mumbled out loud. If they were talking to me, I didn't hear them at all. I wasn't there and then I was. Wait…
I lifted my right hand with the ring on it and stared at the stone. That's why…right? It has to be. But I noticed, the stone wasn't the color of All Might's hair like before, now it is black and cracked down the middle.
I jumped higher than humanely possible when I felt a poke in my shoulder. Mirio started laughing at me before saying, "You seem to mutter a lot when you're in deep thought! It's adorable!"
And, like always, I couldn't just bite my tongue. "Oh, by the way, have you met Deku yet? Is he okay? He hasn't still been breaking a ton of limbs or anything, has he? He really should be more…" And they are staring at me again. This is hopeless and I am going to jail forever.
