In Class 1-M's dormitory...
Everyone had woken up to Midoriya passing out from being really hot and sweaty. They didn't know what was going on, but Bakugo knew that it had something to do with Chrysalis. Iida and AllMight kept everyone calm as they sat up Midoriya. AllMight felt his forehead and could tell that he was overheating.
"We're going to need to take off his shirt. I need to cool him down," AllMight said to them, "Iida, go get Recovery Girl. I'm sure she'd understand why you're waking her up."
"Yes sir!" Iida said as he ran out of the dormitory.
AllMight sat up Midoriya and carefully took off his shirt. Once he did however, everyone gasped in horror to see something that they weren't excepting.
Midoriya's back looked really purple and veiny as if something was sprouting or growing out of his back. Uraraka could barely look at it without throwing up. Even Bakugo was speechless and grossed out to see that in person. Everyone Class 1-A and M just stared at it and didn't know what to do about that.
AllMight didn't like the look of it, but he had to keep helping him. He grabbed a face cloth and dumped it into the ice cold water. As soon as he rung it out, he gently laid him back down and dabbed cold water onto his forehead and face. The more he looked at him, the more he realized that the purple splotches were starting to spread. He was starting to look more and more like Chrysalis and no one noticed.
"This isn't good," AllMight said to them, "Did anyone notice anything weird going on with Young Midoriya or Chyrsalis earlier last night?"
"No. The last time we saw her, she was being locked up," Uraraka explained to him, "She didn't do anything."
"But I caught Deku coming out of the elevator. It just looked like he was there for a reason," Bakugo said to them, "I woke up, and he was entering the elevator to do something. This has to do with Chrysalis. She did something to him before we left."
"No one saw her do anything?" AllMight asked them.
Class 1-A and M all looked at each other, waiting for someone to say something. They never noticed anything strange, she just sat there in the cage.
AllMight let out a sigh and dabbed Midoriya's face some more with the face cloth. He noticed that he was sweating quite a bit as if he had come down with something. He dipped the face cloth back into the ice cold water, rung it out and dabbed it some more onto his face. He even wiped him down a bit with another face cloth. He was breathing pretty hard, and AllMight felt really bad for him and wished he could do something else to help him feel better.
Uraraka and Bakugo walked up to him, noticing how much he was sweating. They all looked at him and noticed that he definitely was starting to look a little more like Chrysalis. Something about it just bothered all of them to no end. Bakugo spotted his back and wondered what that was all about.
"You don't think that his back might be growing wings or something, right?" Bakugo asked them, "I can't be the only one thinking that."
Everyone flinched, making them all stand on end. They all didn't even want to think about whatever was going on with Midoriya.
"Whatever it is, it's really grossing me out," Kirishima said to him.
"I might even need that bucket to throw up in," Marc said to them.
"Hopefully Iida will come back with Recovery Girl soon," Kagami said to them.
"What about Marinette? She might be able to heal him," Adrien asked them as AllMight dabbed some ice cold water onto his face.
"She's still sleeping. Something tells me that she's exhausted from the sleepover," Kim said to them.
Adrien looked confused and looked around the common room. He could've sworn that he saw her down here already.
Soon enough, Iida came running through the dormitory front doors carrying her on his back. He looked exhausted from running, and Recovery Girl got down to come see Midoriya. Once she noticed how he looked, her eyes widened in shock to see him looking not like his usual freckled face self.
"Oh dear! What happened here? AllMight, what's going on with Midoriya?" Recovery Girl asked him with so much worry.
"W-Well, Chrysalis might've done something to him to make him look like this," AllMight explained to her with a sweat drop on his forehead, "Something's happened, and he's sweating a lot. I think he's overheating from something that Chrysalis did to him."
"Can you do something to help him out?" Uraraka asked her with worried eyes.
Recovery Girl walked up to him and let AllMight help her out. He lifted him up gently and let her check on his back. She gasped to see his back looking purple and veiny as if something was sprouting out of it. Everyone could tell that she definitely wasn't expecting something like this came she came over. Once AllMight set him down, she felt his forehead. Even though AllMight helped cool him down, he still felt pretty warm.
"He definitely has a fever," Recovery Girl told everyone, "It looks like whatever is doing this to him gave him a fever. He might be fighting off something, and it might have something to do with this mutation he's got going on right now."
Everyone looked at him with worried expressions, especially Uraraka and Bakugo. Chloe held his hand, looking really worried for Midoriya.
"What should we do Recovery Girl?" Uraraka asked her, "Izuku's not looking so good."
"If we can get rid of his fever, I recommend giving him a lukewarm bath. He needs to drink a lot of water," Recovery Girl explained to them, "I can't heal him now since he's clearly exhausted. You're all going to have to help him out. Clearly whatever Chrysalis did to him is taking a toll on his body."
Everyone looked at Midoriya and didn't know what else to do for him. Recovery Girl gave AllMight some painkillers for Midoriya. He sat him up very carefully and had him take some with some ice cold water.
"There you go, Young Midoriya," AllMight said to him, "This'll help get rid of your fever."
AllMight dabbed the ice cold face cloth onto his face and worried about him. He noticed his eyes squeezing shut from the pain that he was feeling. He stirred in his sleep, and AllMight could tell that something was bothering him. It looked like something was hurting him, and AllMight tried to calm him down.
"I-It hurts... M-My back..." Midoriya said through clenched teeth.
Everyone wanted to help in some way, but there was only so much that they could do for him. Uraraka stood close to Iida, worrying about her boyfriend. Even Bakugo didn't know what to do for him considering it was a fever caused by Chrysalis.
"I'm right here Young Midoriya. Chrysalis is not here. We're all here taking care of you," AllMight said to him as he dabbed the face cloth onto his forehead.
Midoriya's back twitched, causing him to wince in pain. He squeezed his eyes shut and felt tears coming up. AllMight put the face cloth over his forehead, but he stirred a little from the pain. He grabbed onto a pillow and squeezed it tight, showing AllMight that his back hurt that much.
"Isn't there something we can do? Izuku is not doing so good," Adrien asked them.
"We just have to give him a lot of water. AllMight's taking care of him, so there's not much we can do," Kirishima explained to them.
Todoroki noticed that the bucket of ice cold water was starting to run out of ice, so he went over there and filled it with more ice.
"Thank you Todoroki," AllMight said to him, "I appreciate it."
"It's no problem," Todoroki said back, "It might help if I cool him down. I can use my ice side to keep the face cloth cold."
AllMight hesitated, but got up when he noticed Midoriya twitch a little. Todoroki sat in his spot and took the face cloth from him. He used his ice side to hold it and kept it cold. He dabbed Midoriya's forehead, and they all noticed that Midoriya seemed to relax as Todoroki cooled him down a bit. He still squeezed his eyes shut from the pain, but he was starting to sweat less because of Todoroki.
"It's working," AllMight said to them, and everyone relaxed a little.
"What a relief," Sato said to them.
AllMight started to notice Midoriya sweating less as Todoroki took care of him. His ice side seemed to cool him down a lot to the point where he could relax finally. He felt a little weird to let Todoroki take care of him, but it was working. Everyone seemed to feel a little better as Midoriya laid down on the couch.
"Well, at least Todoroki can help him cool down," Max said to them, "He seems to be more relaxed now."
"Yeah, but his back. How do we treat something like that, Recovery Girl?" Chloe asked her.
"I don't know if I can unfortunately. This looks like something that Chrysalis did, right?" Recovery Girl asked them.
"Yeah. He mutated because of their Miraculous's being unified. He tried to get ahold of them, but somehow that just caused him to look like, well... that. Something's wrong with them or it wouldn't have done that," Adrien explained to her.
"Hmm... I don't know much about those Miraculous you all have, but I do know that I can't treat this right now," Recovery Girl explained, "He's exhausted. He needs some rest. Whatever is going on with him, I don't think I can do much for his back unfortunately."
Everyone froze in place and looked at Midoriya who was squeezing his eyes shut. They all worried for him and didn't know if this was Chrysalis's plan or not. All Midoriya wanted was to take his Miraculous off of Chrysalis. Something about it didn't feel right, especially since his back was hurting him so much.
As soon as everyone started to relax, the elevator opened and everyone turned around. It was Marinette, and she looked around frantically for something. Everyone was confused as to why she was freaking out, especially Adrien. He could swear that Marinette came downstairs earlier.
"Marinette, what's wrong?" Adrien asked her as she reached out to her.
"Tikki... and my Miraculous... They're gone...!" Marinette cried out with wide eyes.
Everyone's heart's skipped a beat and Adrien froze in place from hearing this. Acting on instinct, Adrien looked down at his hand with his Miraculous on.
His was gone as well.
Both of them looked at each other, speechless and terrified to find their Miraculous were gone. Class 1-A and M watched them freaking out and didn't know what else to do other than look for their Miraculous. Todoroki stayed with Midoriya as everyone else looked around for their Miraculous. They all looked around in the areas that they were sitting around and hanging out last night.
"What happened?! Where's my Miraculous?!" Adrien cried out, "Plagg! If this is a joke, it's not funny!"
"Tikki! Where are you?!" Marinette cried out as she looked around the common room for the Ladybug Miraculous, "I might've dropped them during the sleepover! Where could they be?!"
"But Tikki was with you the entire time," Adrien explained, "There's no way you lost it last night. Maybe you lost it when you came down here earlier."
"What? I never came down here. I just got up. What about Plagg? You had him with you the entire time," Marinette said to him, "I never saw you take off your Miraculous."
"Did you remember losing them?" Uraraka asked her while helping her look around for them.
"No! I never take off my Miraculous unlike some people," Marinette said as she eyed Adrien.
"Hey! That was one time!" Adrien said back.
"Just calm down. I'm sure they're around here somewhere," Sato said as he looked under the couches.
Everyone was looking around and couldn't find anything. Bakugo helped look around, but couldn't find anything or spot any sort of Miraculous anywhere. Then he spotted Midoriya, and he looked really agitated about something. He stirred around a little, and his back was hurting him a lot. Something really bothered him about all of this.
"Do you remember taking them off last night? Midoriya did come up to see you," Iida asked her.
"Wait, Izuku came up to see me last night?" Marinette asked them, "I don't remember that. Adrien went to come up to see me."
"What? No I didn't," Adrien said back, "Izuku did. He wanted to check on you because you were upset."
Marinette stopped searching for a moment and tried to remember what happened last night. For some reason, all she could remember was Adrien being in her room. Before she could try to remember anything else, Marinette spotted something poking out of Adrien's pocket. She stood up straight as the light hit against it.
"Adrien...? What's that in your pocket...?" Marinette asked him as her eyes grew concerned.
Adrien got confused and reached into it. His heart skipped a beat to find the Ladybug Miraculous in his pocket. Everyone was shocked to see him holding the Ladybug Miraculous. Not only that, but he had it in his pocket.
Midoriya felt something a sudden pain shoot up his back. Todoroki tried to get him to calm down, but his back was clearly hurting a lot.
"Wh-What? How did this get in here?!" Adrien cried out, "I-I swear Marinette! I have no idea why this is even in my pocket!"
Marinette didn't even know what to say in that moment. She looked at him and could tell that he wasn't lying to her. Then she remembered him being in her room for some reason.
"B-But... you were in my room last night..." Marinette said to him, "You came over to comfort me..."
Bakugo's eyes widened in shock and looked at Midoriya with a suspicious look. Midoriya was having trouble relaxing as Marinette and Adrien argued.
"No I didn't. Izuku did!" Adrien said to her, "He was worried about you and wanted to talk to you!"
"Then why do you have my Miraculous, Adrien? Please tell me why you have my Miraculous in your pocket?" Marinette asked him, trying not get upset.
"I don't know! It's just in here somehow!" Adrien cried out, "Maybe Plagg pulled a prank on us or something!'
"That's really mature, Adrien. Blame it on your Kwami," Marinette said back.
"Guys, now's not the time for arguing," Ashido said to them, "We should just look for your Miraculous, Adrien."
"Plagg isn't even here right now," Marinette said and continued searching for his, "You lost your Miraculous somehow too. We should really look for it--"
Then Marinette felt something in her pocket and froze in place. Her eyes widened in shock and reached into her pocket. Once she found something, she pulled it out and found the Black Cat Miraculous. Class 1-A and M were now confused and speechless when they found Parisian's heroes holding each other's Miraculous.
"Wha-What?!" Marinette cried out, "A-Adrien! I-I have no idea why this is even in my pocket!"
Then in that moment, Adrien remembered in that moment Marinette taking his Miraculous. His eyes widened in shock seeing her holding his Miraculous.
"Marinette? Why'd you need my Miraculous earlier?" Adrien asked a little nervous and confused, "You needed it for something."
Marinette looked confused and had no idea what he was talking about. Even everyone else was really confused and so was Bakugo. He looked over at Midoriya and noticed that he was gripping onto the pillow pretty tightly. He looked like he was sweating a lot again.
"I never took your Miraculous. I don't even know how this got in my pocket," Marinette said to him.
"But you woke me up and said that you needed it for something," Adrien said back, "Why did you need my Miraculous? Does it have something to do with Chrysalis?"
"I never woke you up! I just got up and found my Miraculous in your pocket!" Marinette cried back.
"This is officially the most confusing conversation ever," Kaminari said to all of them.
"Guys, maybe you two should relax. Clearly there's some weird misunderstanding going on right now," Kagami said to them.
Bakugo then noticed that something was wrong with Midoriya. Todoroki and AllMight were trying to get him to calm down, but something was bothering him a lot. For a moment, Bakugo felt his arm get a slight tingling sensation from the poison.
"This isn't going to help Izuku. He needs to rest," Uraraka said to them.
"B-But, why would we have each other's Miraculous like this?! This doesn't make any sense!" Marinette cried out, "Someone clearly planted them on us while we were sleeping!"
Before anyone could point fingers, Marinette locked onto Chloe. She clenched her fists around the Black Cat Miraculous.
"I'm sorry... Marinette..." Midoriya mumbled as tears formed under his eyes.
Another amazing chapter!
I actually love how this one turned out! I loved writing how everything turns out in this chapter! It was nice to see how this might unfold and how things were coming together! Writing Midoriya doing all of this made me wonder how all of this was going to come together! Marinette and Adrien are partners, so they wouldn't be so quick to point fingers at each other! I feel like especially Marinette would instantly know that he would never do something like this.
Midoriya's not feeling too good. It seems that things are starting to unfold, and even Bakugo is figuring out what's going on with him! His back is not looking too good... Oh no...
Marinette is suspicious of Chloe...
More to come soon!
