"she's awake" I hear muffled voices around me.

"mmf-" I respond

I open my eyes and all I see is brightness. my eyes soon adjust and I notice I'm in a room with three other beds around mine. 

in each of the beds are my bandaged up friends.

"how are you feeling Maya? you got cut up pretty badly huh?" Deku says 

I sit up and wince in pain as I feel the muscles in my arm contracting, not to mention I'm sore from fighting.

"pain..." I answer.

"after everything that happened back there it feels like a miracle we're even alive. with my leg messed up I was an easy target, he probably could have killed me if he wanted to." Deku says. just the thought of him dying makes my heart ache.

"Yeah, seems to me he let us live on purpose, I'm impressed by you though Lida. he was actually trying to murder you but you stood tall"  Todoroki says looking over to Lida.

"that's not true...  I was-" Lida starts.

"APOLOGIZE ONE MORE TIME I DARE YOU LIDA!" I yell still a little groggy.

the door to the hospital room slides open and Gran Torino and the Pro hero Manual enter the room.

"oh, so the injured youngins are awake." Gran Torino says.

"Gran Torino!" Deku exclaims.

"idiot! I could yell at you for hours right now." Gran Torino says angrily approaching his bed.

"yeah s-sorry" he stammers.

"but before I do, you've got a visitor" he says motioning for a man to enter.

a tall man wearing a suit walks in, but it's not a man. it's a dog. 

"this is Hosu's chief of police, Kenji Tsuragamae" Gran Torino introduces the dog.

Todoroki and Lida stand up and I do the same. Deku tries to stand but is stopped by the canine.

"no, please stay seated, woof" he barks

"so, you're the UA students who brought down the Hero Killer huh?" 

"we are" Todoroki says.

"Stain has some serious injuries, severe burns and several broken bones. right now he's in the hospital under strict guard, woof."

"good" I mutter to myself.

"Here's a lesson you should have already learned. when quirks became the norm the police force sought to maintain the status quo. they decided we wouldn't use quirks as weapons. that's when heroes came in, they could do what we couldn't, woof. if they were licensed of course. it would be impossible for the police to condone the use of deadly quirks. afterall we are here to stop such harm from being done. the only reason pros can use their powers now is becuase of the strict code of ethics that the early heroes chose to abide by. that's why it's against the law for uncertified people to use their quirks to cause injury. whether you were up against the hero killer or not. none of you had the authority to harm the villain. That means the four of you, including your supervisors including Endeavor, Manual and Gran Torino should receive harsh punishments for this gross abuse of your powers." the dog says.
