Geus opened his groggy eyes, he instantly recognized the room as the school's infirmary. And the pink mask on the old woman was also a happy sight. Her puckered lips weren't something that he wanted to see. All he could do was groan from the deepest part of his throat. Except it felt filled like an o-ring was placed perfectly down it. His hand felt up his school jumpsuit and to his mouth. His bandaged and covered mouth.

"When your mask was uncovered, it ripped opened slices of your lips and left open holes in others. If you were a hip kid those could be really cool piercings." Recovery Girl laughed. "In all seriousness, you are lucky for the minimum damage."

"I know."

"We placed a filter that can survive in your mask for the next week while the support classes design you a new mask."

"Thank you."

"I even asked them to make a secondary model that can be removed, if they can make something to survive your quirk when off."

"Permanently locking one to my mouth is fine."

"Don't you want to kiss one of those girls in the future. I know a handsome boy like you has an eye out."

Geus's face turned bright red. "It's fine."

The door to the room slid open, half a dozen heads peaked inside. Midoriya, Jiro, Kirishima, Tokoyami, Kendo, and All Might let themselves in.

"Young Sansei!" All Might shouted in his regular hero tone.

"Please, don't call me by my last name. I requested it." Geus interupted.

"Young Geus! Great competition you showed! Ha ha ha!"

"It was incredibly manly." Kirishima pumped his fist, his eyes closed, and face turned. "Your face ripped open and you still fought. And gave me a chance to fight in your place."

Geus raised an eyebrow muscle. "Fought in my place?"

"Yes the fight was so glorious and so manly they wanted a whole new round to bring on the equal fight." Kirishima grabbed Geus's hand. "It was straight awesome."

"It was a brilliant and well-executed fight. I'm proud to see our combat sessions come into play." Tokoyami nodded. "Impressive to see that wall attack in full glory."

Geus huff. "Only did it because the mask was off."

"It was still quite a show."

A knock to the room caught everyone's attention before Midoriya could escape words out of his mouth. It was a short woman by the door, her eyes were covered with largely rounded sunglasses. One of her arms was entangled around with a small boy who wore a golden age All Might hoddie that was pulled over his head.

"Oh hello, Mad'am!" All Might bow to the civilian.

"That's All Might." The young child whispered as he tugged on the woman's arm.

"Yes, yes." She hushed the child. "I'm Maria Sansei, I wish to speak to my nephew alone please."

"Of course! Follow me, students." All Might shook the young child's hand and led his students outside.

"I'll be just outside." Jiro said before she closed the door.

Geus's eyes glared stronger than he has ever done to a person before. The heat that steamed off could set off a fire alarm. She pulled off her sunglasses and shoved them in her handbag. Maria met her soft hazel eyes with Geus's gray eyes.

"They still have that purple fog in them from the battle." She smiled.

"We haven't spoken in six months. And yet you just talk about my quirk."

The woman walked next to Geus's bedside and sat in the chairs next to it. Her child followed in her actions. Geus appeared calmer to the younger child, he looked just like his mother. Brown hair, except for shoulder length his was cut down to his neck.

"Hey, Geus." The child waved with one of his bandaged hands.

Geus smiled under his bandages, visible to their eyes. "Hey, Keena. Your hands still like that?"

"Doctor says they will always be like that cause of the damage. Can't afford those special gloves. Hopefully, your job in the future after all this nonsense of hero work will help the Sansei family."

"Shut up about Sansei, it makes me cringe every time I hear that word. Every time I call my friends by their last name it makes my lip curl."

"It was beyond obvious on your objective. Your family is still the few families out here that reject this curse on these people." She lightly laughed. "I have no doubt these things protect people, but a couple of decades ago people couldn't destroy buildings with their fists."

"Why are you here? Why'd you come if you had no plans to open your eyes?"

"I came because of your case. We're wasting valuable resources on your case." She rolled her eyes. "We're wasting energy on a ten million dollar data recovery machine to restore the security footage of your room. Police wanted to interview me on your parent's behalf. Not even like I had anything happy to say, they were barely Sansei's, to begin with." Her phone began to ring, a single look at the screen caused her to close her eyes and shake her head. "As I said nine months ago... You're a failure to the family. And I'll defend that hospital if they need any lawyer work from this. Excuse me."

She left the room, only three people were now inside. Recovery Girl did her best to be quiet from the scene. Her tiny body quivered from the anger from the woman, Geus's aunt spat on her profession right in front of her. The small boy watched his mother leave the room. His head swung right back to Geus. He crawled off his chair and onto the bed. He planted his rear on his legs and pulled up his sleeves.

"Geus. Mama's mad."

The few words gave Geus a small giggle. "All the time I knew her she was mad."

"No." He whispered. He peered at the door one more time and unraveled his bandages. His hands were covered in severe popped blisters. "Mama's mad about these."

"Oh dear, let me help." Recovery Girl scooted her chair over to the bed. It scared Keena, he rolled off the opposite side and hid under the bed. "No! Mama says that will hurt her! I'll go straight to hell if I use that!"

"I'm sorry," Geus apologized. "Her words have carved his head." Geus pulled the sheets off of him and got off the bed. He dropped to the ground and looked at the coward boy. "What happened?"

"Mama says because of what you did that you cursed the boys of the family. I have a disease."

"Disease." Geus knew it wasn't a common disease that anybody could get. His family called anyone with a quirk that it was instead a cursed disease.

"I got a disease in my hands."

"Geus what are you doing!" Maria screamed. She rushed over to him before he turned around and pushed him to the side. "Come here, honey." She reached under the bed and pulled her son out from under. "We'll get those hands bandaged back up from a real doctor." Her finger snapped at Recovery Girl. "If you so as touched my boy I will have this place sued." She switched her attention to Geus. "I'm going to get you out of this school and back in the state prison I always talked about. Even if you get out, maybe I can hire you as a secretary. Maybe put that thing up to work to burn old papers." She grabbed the braid that dangled from her cheek and fixed it inside the rest of her hair. "I'll see you in court with the rest of this school."

She quickly stormed off, pushed right past Jiro on her way out. Tears rolled down his cheek, he held back his emotion the best he could. The slight sight of his friend pushed him over the edge. Tears flowed straight out in an uncontrollable fashion. He back straight into the wall and crumbled to his feet.

Jiro walked into the room, her finger nervously around her earlobe jack and her other arm around her side. She didn't look at Geus, she couldn't. This was a first in her book, had no idea for what to do.

"I heard as much as you wanted me to hear." Jiro broke the silence.

Geus slammed his fist on the ground. "I was such an idiot. Expecting different." He rubbed the water from his eyes. "I should've known nothing would change. Only make things worse." His eyes opened wide, the arm that was once wrapped around her side was open and pointed down to his head. He grabbed it and used the assistance to pull him up to his feet. "Don't tell anyone of this. Never."

"I promise. Can't have the rest of the class think you've cried like a like baby." She covered her mouth and tried to hold back her laugh.

"Remember when you dressed as a cheer leader?" Geus chuckled.

Jiro stopped instantly, her face scrunched up and quickly jabbed his shoulder. "Watch it." she jokingly said. "I came here to support you, not for you to make fun of me." Her hand went up to the shoulder she punched and gripped it tight. Jiro twisted her head around to the door at an enough angle to catch the corner. "I'll catch you back at school, or if you're feeling well enough at the reward ceremony."

She walked out of the room but stopped at the doorway. Geus watched her fist bump something behind the doorway. He smiled, he knew only one person could stop Jiro and take her off her tracks. Beka walked through moments later, her body swung around with her arms in the air. "Amazing!" She twirled in front of Geus and wrapped her arms around him for a hug. "I thought you were going to get so much farther." She weakened her embrace so only her hands cupped around his neck as his firmly was around her waist. "It's odd, the shape of your face is much rounder than I would've imagined."

"Thanks?" Geus almost questioned.

"I saw your aunt was in here, and she was very angry."

"My plan didn't work."

Beka's attitude simmered down. She was still excited from the entire thing but also felt Geus's pain. "I didn't think it would work. The way you talked about your family, they sound real stubborn in their ways."

"Everyone can dream."

"How, okay is he going to be from this?" Beka asked, her hand gently rubbed the length of her forearm.

"He's going to be fine. Other than a little lip damage from the tear, nothing else is of concern." Recovery Girl answered.

"Your fight with your friend, Midnight made a lot of jokes of something there... Is that the girl you talked to me about?"

Geus blushed. "N-no. She's just a friend that wanted to fight. I told her that I wouldn't hold back. And neither did she."

"Sorry to interrupt the talk, I need to break the lover's quarrel." Recovery Girl popped between Geus and Beka. "Until you get your new mask there is no way you'll be allowed to use your quirk in access. Only breathe normally."

Geus unzipped his track jacket and accepted the bag in Recovery Girl's hands. "I just want to get back to the detention center. It has been a long day. How is Itsuka anyways?"

"She just had cuts and bruises, she was released a lot earlier than you." Recovery Girl walked to her desk as she spoke. "Inside the bag is cream that goes on your bandages that negate the effect of your qurik. Change your bandages three times a day or if you notice your quirk is bleeding through. Do it until we have a new mask for you to use."

"Thank you for everything Recovery Girl."

"It's my job." She turned her chair to the front of her desk. "But, you're welcome."

Everyone was given two days to recover. For Geus, it was a time to sleep off everything. The biggest issue in his mind was how he couldn't look into a mirror while he changed his bandages. The days to sit through his pain alone kept him bedridden and only poor attempts to re-wrap the bandages over his mouth. His mind continued to tick that something would go wrong. The fight, Shinso, Jiro checking up in him, whatever it was, he didn't know what.

A/N- if you noticed chapters gone that you have read before I decided to unwrite the romance with Jiro. Seemed really forced to me and I want to take the story into a new direction. So story plot driverings will be changed to deal with this.
