Chapter 34

Y/N slipped in and out of consciousness the day after the incident. Her totally silent behavior was concerning but it was a possibility that the painkillers were causing this. According to the reports from the doctors, she was hit pretty hard on the stomach but after some cramp for a few days, it was going to be fine. The doctor informed that her head injury was also not that bad and that she got immediately patched up when she arrived. It wasn't the little blood that made her faint but from...

...from an emotional shock.

She tried to think of something else that would lift up her mood and make her believe that the heroes were going to find him in time. But the white dull walls around her wasn't making it easy for her. It was all she could think about.

Her family came to visit her. While her mother looked like she cried a bucket, her father looked...pissed. It was during these times that made her understand why her parents were perfect for each other. And it was also during these times she understood how much pressure, responsibility and emotional stress fell over her father. Her mother was as cold as ice but she was weak when it came to her children. It was also during these times that people felt the wrath of her father and it was ugly. Her brother arrived a bit later, a bodyguard standing outside her room.

While her parents made her know about how they disapproved strongly of her career choice, they also assured her of having their support regardless. Working in an industry where they've seen countless dreams rise and fall, one thing they wanted was to make sure that their daughter don't experience regrets for the rest of her life. They left soon and her brother was only the one left in the room.

"Can't you change your course?" he said sitting down on a chair nearby. He received nothing but silence from her. "Y/N they might look strong, but they've messed up a lot of things in their jobs. You know how bad it is when mom starts messing up."

Looking at his sister fiddle her fingers quietly, he continued, "We are worried. I don't even get to meet you Y/N. Do you know how it feels to get the news of your little sister getting attacked by villains in between of a performance and not having the power to do anything but continue with the concerts? Not knowing for hours if you made it alive?"

Y/N finally spoke. But those words only made him worry about her more. "Do you know how it feels to watch your friend taken away and just...standing in front of him, not helping him? Not even trying?" she turned to him, "Do you know how it feels to know that your friends aren't waking up even after multiple hours of nursing? I don't even know how bad their injury is."

"Are you sure you can handle this career?" he asked seriously.

"I knew the risks when I joined U.A. High-" she got interrupted by a voice coming outside the door. Someone shouting "come at me bro" at the top of their lungs. She recognized the voice. It was Kirishima.

"It's my friend," she said looking at the closed door with concentration.

The door suddenly opened loudly with Kirishima barging in. He noticed Haruto and looked for a moment, the bodyguard following him right after. "Oh uh I'm sorry. I'll come some other time."

Haruto sighed and got up from the chair, "No it's fine." He kissed Y/N's forehead and said, "Take care of yourself. We get worried."

As he took an exit Kirishima quietly sat down before her. 

"I don't know how should I say this or if I should even.." he cleared his throat and said, "Todoroki and I were thinking of going after Bakugou. We overheard Momo talking to All Might about the tracking device she put on Nomu. We can try to save him. But I heard you went into shock. You don't have to do this-"

"I want to," Y/N said. That was the first time after the incident he saw some kind of emotion other than regret in her eyes. She continued, "I believe you feel the same as me. But you were out of reach you know. I just...I left it to Todoroki when I should've..."

"You took a rational decision in the moment. Don't blame yourself for this."

Y/N chuckled and looked at him, "He knew about me Kirishima."

Kirishima kept quiet for a moment and said, "I know he's a pain in the ass but-"

"You don't have to explain it to me. I never got to confess my feelings. He just went away before my eyes. The media is ripping off his image before he even got the chance to become a hero. I don't care about the consequence. I just want to...see him safe."

"Get ready when I tell you then," he said, "Oh and Kyoka is still unconscious because of the poisonous gas. Midoriya has major injuries but...I'm going to talk to him about this. I feel like he should know about it. Last time we saw him, he was bawling his eyes out."

"Yeah...I'll be ready."

As the day arrived, Todoroki, Kirishima and Y/N were waiting outside wondering if Momo and Midoriya will arrive. And they did but someone extra joined them too - Iida.

Todoroki informed that they planned to rescue Bakugou covertly rather than confronting the villains directly. 

They arrived in Camino Ward where Momo's receiver for the tracking device showed their target. They changed their appearance with the help of Momo in order to disguise themselves and look unrecognizable in the crowd.

Momo lead them to what they believed to be the villain's hideout. None of them had effective stealth skills, so they pondered their next move. They remained outside the second evil lair. They decided to go around the back and use Kirishima's night vision goggles to see through a window. 

But instead of getting Bakugou, they discovered something else. It was a factory for breeding Nomu. The building shook and soon collapsed. Seeing through the window they noticed the arrival of several heroes and felt relieved. But their happiness was short lived.

As they were walking to take an exit, an unknown voice came through the dark and within a few seconds a huge blast blew the  whole building away.

A chilling voice stopped them from even moving an inch. The little wall left behind them, kept the students hidden. Their minds were running through miles and they wanted nothing but to run. But their legs weren't moving. It was a kind of fear they experienced for the first time. The person took down all the heroes in seconds. If All Might spread the feeling of hope, this person reeked of nothing but death. 

This was One For All.

They stood immobile when a voice broke them from their trance.

"Dammit," he coughed, "What the hell?!"

Oh, right.

Bakugou.
