When you awoke, white surrounded you. You tried to sit up, but your shoulder throbbed under the pressure. With a wince, you flopped back down. 
"So you're awake." 

You jolted. "Ventus? What the hell are you doing here?" 
"It's Dad to you, right now. We can't have the damned heroes suspecting anything." 

You scoffed. "Yeah, I'm not calling you that." 

The villain shot you a glare. "Anyway, Shigaraki-" 

Just then, the door slid open. "Ah, Mikumo. You're up." A man wearing a hat and trench coat walked in, a nurse directly behind him.
"Uhm. Hi? ... Who are you?" 

"Right, I should probably introduce myself. I'm Tsukauchi Naomasa. A detective with the police force. I'm just here to ask a few questions, if that's fine." The detective looked between you and Ventus. 

"Sure, go ahead," Ventus said, standing from his chair. "I'll wait outside kiddo." 

"Thank you." Tsukauchi sat down at the foot of the hospital bed. "Now, before we get started, I just want to say that I have a lie detection quirk." You tensed. "But I know you have no reason to lie to me." He smiled, flipping open his notepad. 

So, I have to be careful. Let's just assume that he can't detect half lies...

"Shigaraki seemed to target you specifically. Do you have any idea why?" 

"He um... He said that he needed a hostage." 
The detective nodded, scribbling something down in the notepad. 

"Mm, ok. Can you confirm what his goal was?" 

"To kill All Might." 

"Good, good. Did Shigaraki say anything about that creature that he'd brought with him?" 

"He mentioned that it was created by someone." 

"Created?" 
Tsukauchi's eyes widened. "Do you know by who?" 

You paused. "I uh... I didn't get a name."
If the detective was suspicious of you, he certainly didn't show it. 

Tsukauchi nodded again. "Thank you, Mikumo. You've been very helpful." 
And he left the room. 
Ventus walked back in, throwing you a bag. "Change of clothes. Doctor's said you're allowed to be discharged, just watch the shoulder." 

You grunted, zipping it open. "Get out." 

~...~

Days passed and it was time to return to school. 
U.A. had given the students time off after the attack, to get their wits back together. 

You arrived at class early, even earlier than Iida normally would. And that's when you saw Eraserhead, in a full-body cast and all. 
"Mikumo. What are you doing here so early?" 

"I... I don't know. I just am, I guess." You shrugged. 

The pro-hero sighed. "What trouble have you gotten yourself into?" 

You blinked, and you were oh so tempted to tell him. The words died on your tongue. "What do you mean by that?" 

"I mean you look like you're lost in some other world. And you look overly stressed. A kid like you shouldn't be dealing with that type of stuff." 

You prepared to quip back, but instead remained quiet. "I mean, we were just attacked by villains, Eraserhead." 

"How do you know my hero name, anyway? I'm underground." 
Again, you shrugged. "I just do." Wow, not suspicious at all, Y/N. 

Eraserhead narrowed his eyes. "Uh...huh..." 

~...~

"So, are you guys ready for the sports festival?" Uraraka asked at lunch. 

You choked. "What?" You asked, coughing. "What Sports Festival?" 

Uraraka blinked. "Uh. You know. The Sports Festival?... Did you forget? Aizawa-Sensei just told us about it this morning." 

Shoto, Izuku, Iida, and Uraraka stared at you for a long time before you finally said something. "Right." You said, laughing nervously. "The sports festival. I forgot about that." 

"How can you forget about the biggest event at U.A? It's so cool!" Izuku's eyes shone with pure joy. 
"Agreed!" Iida chopped the air. "I'm surprised you didn't know, considering that you'll be giving a speech on the day of." 
You blinked once. Twice. "I'm what." 

"Yes. You score first in the practical exam." Shoto slurped on his soba, giving you a deadpan look. "You- I-" 
And then your forehead hit the table. "Someone kill me." 

Iida gave you a concerned look. "That's hardly appropriate." 
"Shh, you pure child." 

"Pure... what?" 
"Great." Uraraka laughed. "We've broken her."  

"But that's such an honor, Mikumo! Y-you should be excited!" Izuku said.

"Ok." You tilted your head to look at him. "Then you do it for me." 
Izuku sputtered. "B-but!" 

"Yeah, see?" You sighed. "This is gonna be awesome." 

~...~

"I'll be teaming you guys up in groups of two -- and one group of three, since we have 21 students. From there, you'll train with each other and strengthen your quirks. That's what you'll be doing each day in battle training." He put up a poster at the front of the classroom. 

"Come find out who your partner is."

Everyone stood from their seats, crowding at the front of the classroom. Oh. You thought. I'm partnered with Bakugo and Izuku. 

~...~

Again. Again. Again.
Again.

Bakugo didn't want to hear that word anymore. Because you were beating him, over and over again.

You weren't using your quirk, why weren't you using your quirk?

Midoriya stood off to the side, taking a break from the fighting.
You twirled your bo staff's, and Bakugo dashed forward.

He threw a right hook, which you parried, pushing him away from you with your bo staff.

He snarled, wiping the sweat from his neck. "Don't start looking down on me just because you got in first place!" He roared, releasing an explosion in your direction.

"Looking down on you? What makes you think that?" You asked, coughing as you waved away the smoke.

He didn't answer.

You shut your eyes and Bakugo paused. What were you doing?
Normally, people would feel deprived of their senses when they did this. But not you. You could feel the oxygen flowing through his system, you could feel where he was.

You vaulted over Bakugo as he darted forward again, and he was unable to stop you from sweeping your leg across the ground to put off his balance.
He staggered, and you clicked the button on your staff, inserting the sleep toxin into his bloodstream.

"Night, night, Katsuki Bakugo."
