Why Bother?

Uh oh...

...

"Well this isn't good..."
Midoriya thought to himself as his eyes met a child's.

The kid fell to the ground, fear paralyzed her entirely.

He looked at the 2 bleeding out corpses, the girl, the knife in his hand, then the girl again.

"I can't kill her...
This is bad"

Tears started to stream down the girl's face and upon closer inspection Midoriya noticed something disturbing.

She was...

Bleeding.

He tried to approach her but once he got close she passed out entirely.

"This wound looks bad.
How did she get it?
She looks young, 3 or 4...
If I leave her here she'll die.

If she miraculously survives then she can get me caught...
I guess I have no choice but to take her in."

Midoriya stuffed his knife in his pocket.
He lifted the girl up with his telekinesis and walked far from the corpses.
Once he was a good distance he took off his hoodie, mask, and hat and burned it.

He had an under shirt underneath so we wasn't worried.
After that he flew off, keeping the girl hidden from any lurking eyes below.

He flew to his house and walked in.

"She's bleeding from her forehead.
I see why she passed out so easily.
I need to stop the bleeding"

Midoriya placed her on his living room floor and ran to his kitchen to grab some supplies.
He got a cotton swab, rubbing alcohol, and a wrap.

"Is the wound deep?
If it is I can't use the alcohol and I'll have to take her to a hospital"

He cleaned the wound first with the cotton and noticed it actually wasn't as deep as he thought it was.

"She didn't lose a lot of blood so why did she pass out?"
I'll figure it out later"

He properly cleaned up the wound and wrapped it up with a head bandage.
After that he placed her on his couch to rest.

"Why is her entire body wrapped up in a bandage?
Poor girl, she probably ran from 1 traumatic experience just to see me kill 2 people right in front of her.
Where did she even come from??"

Midoriya couldn't sleep, he didn't know when the girl would wake up or if she would even wake up.

She had long silver blue hair, cherry red eyes, a small horn on the right side of her head, and she wore a plain white draped dress with bandages underneath.

"She's young.
It's likely she won't remember this instance when she's older because of how the brain works.
Which is good?

I don't know, I didn't research psychology.

I guess it's just a waiting game from here"

And so Midoriya sat there the entire night.
He ended up falling asleep once the clock hit 3am.

He didn't wake up until 10am.

"She's still passed out...

Maybe there's an underlying issue, she should go to a hospital"

Midoriya reluctantly got up and changed.
After he got into his hero outfit he gently lifted the girl up and flew off with her.

His outfit prevented heat from escaping him so that if he did ever need to pick someone up his skin wouldn't burn them.
However, during the Festival the reason the 2 twins burned when fighting him was because they grabbed onto the open vents.
