*Present Mic POV*

Kaminari fell asleep and Shouta held him. I on the other pulled away so I could get gauze so we could take the opportunity. I gave the gauze to Shouta and he wrapped him up the best he could with being in the corner. We continued to stay with him, Shouta was also holding his hand so he knew we were still with him. We are trying to get him to talk and trust us more so we can help him heal. The wounds aren't getting better, but they arent getting any worse either.

He woke up from his little nap and looked around, once he figured out where he was a nurse knocked on the door. It was gentle and quiet but enough to scare the shit out of Kaminari. He scrambled to get up, letting go of anything his hand was latched onto. Shouta got up to answer the door while I tried to calm the kid down. He was hiding behind his hospital bed, I walked over to him and squatted down giving him my hand. Thankfully he took it and calmed down. Shouta shooed the doctors away and came over to us.

Kaminari stared quietly, not moving a muscle. It's been three days and we still haven't gotten a word out of him. I think I had a plan on how to get an actual answer.

"Hey I have a question. Are you willing to talk?" He continued to stare at me curiously. He let go of my hand but started to trace over my palm lines. He was sitting like he was before, knees to his chest in a little ball. He nodded. "How did that black lightning bolt end up in your hair, because I find it awesome." I told him cheerfully. If I used a serious or stern tone, it would probably make him feel forced to answer and I didn't want that.

"T-Toga said it was some type of birthmark." He said. His voice was raspy and hoarse from crying. I decided to ask one more question.

"I only have one more question, are you up to it?" I questioned. He nodded again.

*Denki POV*

"Do you know your birth name?" Hizashi asked, I stared at him. I only know the nicknames the villains gave me. I didn't even know my parents names, or if they had any nicknames themselves. If they were bad people. I started to cry unable to answer.

Shouta stared at me but I could care less. I wanted out of here, I wanted to be by myself again. I wanted to be alone. I kept sobbing, I stopped tracing the blondes hand and buried my head in to my arms that I wrapped around my knees which were against my chest. My hands started to shake, and I couldn't help it. I scooted back even more trying to hide.

I think the adults got my message because they left the room. I then tried to calm myself failing miserably. I stayed where I was, wanting to hide from the adults. I dont know if Hizashi meant to hurt me or not. He seemed well meaning but that question made me unsure. I heard him say 'sorry' but I continued to cry.

*Aizawa POV*

We left the room while Kaminari tried to hide from us. I let Hizashi ask the question because he seemed to trust us enough. He was in panic about the doctors and we shouldnt of pushed it, but we needed to know. Apparently we got the answer, he didn't know a thing. All he knew was torture and getting hurt from adults. Everyone he met hurt him, mentally and physically. We are the only ones who he trusted but barely.

I know he heard what 'Zashi said but we both felt a little guilty. He was crying his eyes out in the room, but neither of us went in. He needed some time alone. He looked like he untensed too but still on guard. He stopped crying eventually and came back out of his hiding place. He went back to the corner but we could still see him.

I took it to be an exception to be allowed in. I knocked on the door gently and slowly opened it. I walked in, Hizashi kneeled down in front of him. He tensed up again, and Hizashi put his hand out palm facing up. I kneeled down too, right behind my husband. Kaminari accepted the hand and started to trace, untensed in the process. He looked up to 'Zashi with apologetic eyes and then looked back down.

"No, it's okay that was my fault. I'm sorry." He apologized to Kaminari who looked cautious. He drifted his eyes to look up. He looked to be confused on why he wasn't being punished. "We aren't going to hurt you. I promise." Hizashi soothed. Kaminari lifted his whole head up, and I watched him.

"Can I come over?" I asked him, he nodded not speaking again. I sighed and crawled next to him. He then did something I was not expecting, he leaned his weight onto me, wincing at the pressure but still did it.

I looked to Hizashi, he just shrugged his shoulders and he crawled to the other side of the boy which he allowed, still holding hands.

"What is my birth name? Spinner and the rest just called me nicknames like 'Sparky' or 'Weakling'." He asked. His voice was shaky and you could hear fear in his voice. I looked down at him, I knew the villains nicknamed him that due to his quirk and how small he his.

"You're actual name is Denki Kaminari." Hizashi told him. He looked up before nodding. "Would you like to go back to the bed. It's getting late and you Denki need some rest." Hizashi said again. Denki nodded, and stood up.

He allowed me to pick him up to put him on the bed. He winced again. Not treating his wounds would only make them get worse. I pulled the covers over him and he fell asleep almost immediately.

"Come on. We should go home and also get some rest. Sleeping in these chairs is hurting my back." I told Hizashi and we gladly walked out grabbing our stuff and leaving the room to our car.

***

Once we got home Shinsou was still awake. It wasn't surprising knowing he is a second me. He asked us how Denki was holding up. We told him everything that happened. He nodded and me and my husband went to bed. Not arguing with Shinsou about him going to sleep as well.
