Beep... beep... beep... beep...

That alarm must have broken. During all his sleep that annoying and monotone noise seeped into his dream. He should be waking up now because it sounded louder and much more annoying. He would have a hard time focusing on class today because of this stupid alarm. Would it be too bad if he 5% Detroit Smashed it? No, no, using his Quirk in a sleepy state would be a bad thing as he could use more than his threshold allowed and end with a hurt arm. Well, it was worth tossing on the wall and- wait, hurt?

It brought back memories. The pain brought memories... of more pain. That's right, a lot of things happened. Truth be said, a few things happened but they were repeated to exhaustion, his exhaustion. There was the good mornings, the extra sweet food, lots of weird talks and... cuts.

Cuts all over him. She liked to see him covered in red. She... Where was she now? Would she give him yet another good morning, despite him being unsure about what time it was? Would he wake up again in that dark cold room? Would he even wake up? He didn't want to, for sure. Why wake up from a peaceful dream to get into a living nightmare? But... something was missing.

Something, or someone. Yes, someone. Someone always came and he always felt happy that she came. But in reality, she never came. But then she actually came, the real one. The true one he loved. What would Ochako be doing right now? Last time he checked she was beating the life out of Himiko and-

"Aaaah!"

Izuku woke up with a jolt. His eyes closed as fast as they got open. The place was too bright and white. Bright, it wasn't dark like the room she kept him. Slightly cold but not as cold as the room. It was pretty comfy, in fact. His senses were overloaded with new information. His vision was blurry, being used to the poor illumination after such a long time. His nose detected a sterilized smell, but no blood so far. His ears kept hearing this annoying beeping that now sped up, no sound of chains shaking. His wrists and ankles didn't feel heavy or restricted, neither his waist. He was breathing just fine without a shackle around his neck. You could say he was drowning with so much air coming into his lungs. Last but not less important, there was a strange source of warmth coming from his right hand. Moving his head slowly, he spotted a head with green hair tied into a very familiar bun. He could recognize that haircut from a mile of distance.

"M... Mom?" It was hard to speak. His throat was dry and his tongue glued at the ceiling of his mouth. He needed to brush his teeth as soon as possible.

The bun of green hair twitched and the short lady slowly woke up from her quick nap. She wanted to stay awake during the night in case he woke up, but just when she made a fifteen minutes pause, he came back from his sleep. Her eyes lost all signs of tiredness once she saw her son, awake and staring at her with those beautiful green eyes.

"Izuku!" She instantly jumped forward and held him in a tight hug, making some parts of his body hurt a little.

"M-Mom! What are you doing in here?" He managed to say though she was cutting him out of air again.

"What do you mean by what am I doing here?" She backed off to look at him again, holding on his shoulders.

A flash of memory coursed through his brain. Himiko. She could shapeshift. What if she came after his mother?! How would he tell if it was her or not?!

"I was... I was- I waS SO WORRIED! IZUKU!" Inko held him again while she cried rivers. Yes, this was definitely his mother, and knowing that made Izuku at ease, enough to return the hug with the maximum of strength he had at the moment.

The door opened and Izuku entered in battle mode, trying to pull her out of danger even at his weakened state.

"Izuku, calm down, it's just the nurse"
