Once upon a Zombie Apocalypse

When there is hope, there is life

Saturday morning

Kota's view
A few minutes prior to the attack on the Aizawa household:

Aunty... Why... Why did you do this...? Why did you leave me all alone..? I'm scared... The train station was so crowded.. we were going to visit Mr. Deku and a little girl.. hairy..? Larry ..? Something like that.. We were leaving the station when a man stumbled forward and latched onto the shoulder of another man and started to bite at him.. soon a swarm of them came and started to bite everybody.. Aunty dragged me away and started to call the guys... Ragdoll said she was in a nearby district but we couldn't get a hold of her or anyone.. We ran to the side of the building and used the emergency stairs that lead up to the roof that was supposed to be used during flash floods. We closed and locked the rusted metal door, it's rusty bars not provding much reassurance but it was better than nothing. We peeked over the side of the roof and saw blood.. everywhere.. people missing arms.. legs.. heads.. " Don't look!" Aunty scolded me as she pulled me into her chest and covered my eyes. Aunty.. she was all I had left in the world.. I wanted to stay safe with her.. but the door behind us started to creak as a woman with half her side missing tried to claw her way through the bars, the bars creaking in protest as elmore of these sick people crowded at the door and pressed their weight against it. " H-hey!! Hizashi!!!" Aunty yelled as she waved her hands, the banana type hair easy to see in the crowd as it raced to a car that had cat ears on the top. Aunty cried his name desperately but to no avail and watching as he climbed into his car and raced off, swerving to avoid hitting both the healthy and sick. Even if aunty could use her quirk to just barely talk to him before, she certainly was too far in her panic to use it properly What if she called to him and he freaked out..? What if that slight delay in his get away cost him his life.. " Kota! Use that new trick I taught you and use the lap posts to follow him!! I'll be right on your tail!" Aunty said sternly as she broke off the chain link to her purse and began to harshly hit the hands of the sick people trying to get through the door. " A-aunty you liar!! Y-your quirk doesn't let you fly or anything like that!! I can't leave you!! I'll help!!" I cried as I shook my head, pointing my palms at the sick people and washing the stairs with water, causing some of them to slip and fall with sick thuds. She teared up and smiled as she scooped me up and raced to the edge of the roof, the door bursting open as the creatures raced towards us. " I really am bad at lying huh..? I love you Kota.. I really do.. " she smiled sadly as it finally dawned on me what she was doing. Her voice was in my head as she threw me other the edge of the roof, hands clawing at her as she said her final goodbye. " I'm sorry.." she whispered as she started to fight back against the nasty hands that held her and clawed at her clothing. I put my palms faced to the ground and used my quirk to push water from them, letting me somewhat float in the air. " AUNTY!!" I yelled in a broken sob as they dove on top of her, her yells of battle becoming silent. I immediately turned my head away in disgust, and started to track down the blonde man. My thoughts swarmed in my head and made me sick to my stomach as I asked whatever being was watching over us, just why they couldn't let me keep my family. Was Aunty pretending to be quiet so I would leave ..? Was there a way to save her..? I felt my chest tighten up as the thoughts started to fill my head as I blindly followed the cat car that was blazing down the streets and neighborhoods. I was slower than it of course, but the sick people seemed so fast as they surrounded it as soon as it parked and chased the banana guy into his house where he barely closed the door in time. I was so tired both mentally and physically.. I couldn't just do down there and ask those people to move nicely.. that's when I saw a big window and a little girl huffing and wheezing as she stood a few feet from it. Well.. it wasn't going to be the prettiest entrance but it would have to do.
I crashed through the glass and hear the wood surrounding it bend and crack as I fell behind the girl with gray hair, waiting for her to turn around to help me ... Only to see her collapse. In a panic I sat up and cried out in shock as I tried to tend to her, soon seeing the one who Aunty called ' Hizashi' climb up some stairs and bring up a ladder using a string. " H-hi..?" I called to him awkwardly as I waved, slowly looking at my arms as I tried to locate where a pain was coming from and boy did I find it.. my arms were sliced up and glass was stuck in them ... I was going to puke.. or.. pass out.. I guess..

Present Mic's view

Kota!! That's him, the kid Shouta told me about! He was covered in glass and.. he passed out.. Eri was having a hard time breathing and he was going to bleed out at this rate. I sat Eri on a chair and gave her a breathing treatment that we had bought when we thought she had asthma. I then laid Kota in bed and got to work on removing the glass, or at least what I could see. Because of hero training that I participated in with the 1A kids, I was use to helping them pull things out that just flew in or struck them wrong, but this kid had glass, something that was delicate and sharp. I finally finished with most of the shards and pieces about an hour later and used some gauze I brought up from the bathroom to bandage him up. I was so exhausted... But I needed to keep working. I grabbed an old broom, old straw bristles and all, and started to sweep the glass outside the hole that Kota made and was able to hear as some of those.. things.. started to cry out in what seemed like pain. I shivered at the thought of them and pushed it aside. I started on putting a blanket over the hole and nailing it shut since the nights could get really chilly this time of year, no matter how hot it was during the day. My thoughts began to wander as I worked, wondering if Shouta was alright.. if he was worried .. if he.. was one of them.. no!! I couldn't think that way.. he.. he wouldn't.. he would tell me that I'm being stupid and that this was him I was thinking about.. the great Shouta Aizawa.. who.. tried to burn our marriage certificate and yelled about how I didn't have any receipts so I couldn't return him.. that's when we knew that he was a light weight drunk.. he was fearless.. smart... And.. and.. and what...? Ah.. I don't remember... My eyes are too tired and my head is foggy... All I know is that.. he will come find us..

Kota's view
Fast forward to the day Aizawa tried to call Mic.

I woke with a small groan as I heard a phone ringing but couldn't find where it was coming from. My arms were healing alright but it would definitely leave scars and sometimes, if I move certain ways, I can feel little glass shards moving around.. Hizashi says it's not safe but I think it's wicked cool.. Aunty would have scolded me for saying so, but when I go see her, I want her to see how awesome I look! Ah, the phone!! Maybe it's Aunty calling! The phone had been dead for a while because Hizashi forgot the charger downstairs, but thanks to Eri bringing her tablet charger, we were able to charge it! I went over to Hizashi who was sleeping besides Eri and began to search for the phone. " Gotcha!!" I beamed as I grabbed it from Hizashi's pocket and crawled off the bed, excited to hear from aunty but perhaps a bit too excited.. the phone slipped from my hand and landed screen first on the floor, shattering the screen.. w-what did I do..? I immediately threw myself to the ground and answered it, whispering softly from the splinters. "H-hello..?" A voice called on the other side of the line. I was saddened it wasn't Aunty but happily hurried to Eri and Hizashi. " G-get up!! Up!!" I demanded to them, excitedly tugging on Eri's sleeve before I felt how stiff she was.. how her chest wasn't moving.. " G-get up!! Get help please!!" I yelled into the phone as Hizashi finally sat up and scampered out of bed as he realized what was wrong, knocking the phone from my hands and stepping on it on the way to the closet. The phone was now almost unusable but right now we needed to focus on Eri.

Mic's view

Shit!! Shit!! How could I let this happen?! Of course she needed to have her treatment with her when she slept!! But the one downstairs holds four cups of her breathing treatment medication while this one only holds 1 and a half!! While Eri doesn't have asthma, because of all the tests that bastard Overhaul did to her when she was with him, her body forgets to breathe properly when she isn't aware of it. It's almost like when you teach a dog to sit when you get home and the dog visits a friend's house but still sits when you walk in a room. Her body was so use to being put back together that it found that it could be as lazy as it wanted to be and still live. Right now she needs her medication and blankets. She is stiff most likely because her blood has pulled away from her extremities to keep her core body warm so she should be able to recover if I hurry up! Now the question is, where is the damn medication?! Think!!

// Hey guys I'm so sorry I've been busy with ambulance ride outs and ER shifts that I haven't had time to really milk the whole Eri, Mic situation but I really hope that a small chapter will last you guys for.. yeah anyway um, I'll try to write over break so feed me some ideas! Thanks! Be trouble some goblins-
