The Dino Hero: Kyoryu

Confession

"How is she?" I ask, looking in towards the room where Ryuko is sleeping on a hospital bed. Nighteye glances at me. 

"Stable, for now. She will likely be in a coma for a few days as her body recovers." Nighteye replies, and I sigh

"Thanks. How's Mirio?" I ask, and Nighteye's face hardens, just a tiny bit.

"He's....gonna live, but he's quirkless. We have reason to believe it may be permanent." Nighteye says, and I look at the tall man, who's refusing to meet my eye. 

"You want me to give him One for All, huh?" I ask, and he looks at me

".......I do, yes. I won't deny that I think he would be a better candidate. However.....it would be cruel to take away your quirk to give to another, simply because I wish for you too." Nighteye says, and I look back into the room, at the sleeping pro hero lying in the bed

"Eri?" I ask, and Nighteye sighs yet again. 

"Stable, but running a high fever and is currently being quarantined due to her quirk. While we ran, her quirk activated, and my body began to physically de-age. Thankfully, Aizawa managed to stop her quirk before any major changes occurred. I'm now about 6 months younger, however." Nighteye says, and I raise an eyebrow

"Time-reversal? If she could train, she would be a better healer than Recovery Girl." I note, and Nighteye sighs

"Which is exactly why we need to keep her existence under wraps as much as possible. If the wrong people found out...say, the HSPC, they might not stop to try to get her." He says, and I nod

"Yeah....which is why I'm trying to keep the whole 'dino' thing under wraps. It's a quirk to end a lot of quirks." I say, and Nighteye nods

"You've only the world that quirk once, really. Someone had to notice our fight at U.A." Nighteye says, and I sigh

"True. Doesn't mean they could ID me." I reply, and Nighteye looks at the ceiling. 

"I am sorry for pushing you like I did. I was out of line. I was taking out my anger at All Might on you. And is that is unfair." Nighteye says, and I shrug

"I'm over it. I don't blame you, persay. Mirio probably would've made a better successor. But All Might chose me in the end." I say, and Nighteye sighs

"That he did." Nighteye says as I watch a nurse go into Ryuko's room and check her vitals, before leaving again. 

"I'm gonna go see Mirio." I say, walking away from the room, heading down the hall a bit, till I'm come to Mirio's room. I lightly knock, and Mirio calls out

"Come on in!" He says, and I push the door open, and I'm greeted my Mirio doing one-handed pushups on the floor

"Ahh! Midoriya! How you doing?" He asks, smiling at me. 

"Good. You?" I ask, looking at the blond third year

"Never better!" He says, as I sit down in a chair across from him

"Cut the bullshit, Mirio. How are you, really?" I ask, and he pauses his pushup as his arms extends. 

"I'm fine." He says

"No, you're not. Or, rather, I wouldn't be surprised if you were." I say, and he stands up, then sits down on his bed. 

"........I'm frustrated, to be entirely honest. I won't ever regret my decision.....but I wish it hadn't gone quite like this. I'm quirkless. It....it feels weird." Mirio says, and I smirk

"I must admit, gaining a quirk when you were once quirkless was certainly odd. I must imagine the inverse is true." I say, and he looks at me, confused for a second
