(Y/n) knew the way to Almight's office off by heart so it wasn't that long until she got there. She took a deep breath in and grabbed the handle. 'He will have the answers' she reassured herself. 'Everything will be okay '.

The young girl turned the handle. It made a soft click sound before creaking open. She didn't know what to expect. She just wanted answers. Something to be said to help her on her way. (Y/n) took a step into his office which made Almight look up from his paper work. "Ahh, (Y/n), what a surprise." His cheery voice made (Y/n) feel more at ease. "I had a vision, of someone who was supposedly dead. Is that possible?" The teenager explained cutting to the chase. "That's a tricky one indeed but the answer lies with you. Do you believe it?" She hesitated. She never thought about it like that before. "What you saw doesn't have to be real nor does it have to be fake. It's your perspective of life. It's your intake." (Y/n) smiled. "If you don't mind me asking, who was it that you saw in your vision?"

"Nana Shimura."

"That's not possible. You shouldn't even know who that is."

"So it's real then?"

Almight stayed quiet which only frustrated the victim more. She wanted, no, needed answers, and quickly. Who knows what could happen next. "What did she say?" (Y/n) thought back for a moment. "That something was going to happen and I should keep my friends close with me." She said being as vague as she could when it came to minor details. "Listen to her. Be cautious and always alert. Anything could happen from this point on." (Y/n) nodded and was quickly escorted out of the room by Almight before saying goodbye and shutting the door.

Something was going on, and you weren't ready for it. Not yet anyway. You needed time and energy which you had none of.

(Y/n)'s POV

I got back to my dorm and sighed. 'Listen to her? How can I look out for something if i don't know what that something is?' Everything was fucked up and I just wanted some time without anyone trying to kill me or steal me. It felt like I began flying and couldn't get down. I had no sense of gravity and nothing to hold onto as I started floating into the oblivion.

Before I even opened my door, Kirishima did. The look on his face was just pure concern. "Please don't ask me about it. I just need some time." I walked into my room and the two boys stood up. "Where are you going?" I asked them. "You said you needed time." Kiri said. "Yeah, but I never said I wanted to be alone." I picked up a pillow that was next to me and threw it at Bakugou's face. He didn't look impressed but he picked it up again and threw it back at me. They both laughed at me but I wasn't about to let them win.

So we ended up having a pillow fight and Kirishima ended up staying in out dorm with us.

As they both stayed sound asleep on the floor beside me, cuddled up in each other's arms, I stared at the ceiling. Suddenly, it was more interesting than sleeping. I traced the patterns with my eyes carefully taking in every detail above me. The leaves carefully bending into shape and the vines connecting them made a loop to look fancy. I imagined them in colour growing from the ground and shooting into the sky. A bit like the beanstalk Jack climbed only much more appealing to look at and more gently feeling. The only difference was that I didn't want to climb the evergreen above me. Something told me not to, like I wouldn't like what was on the other side.

Curiosity got the better of me and I began climbing it. Each step I took, my heart began racing faster and faster. I didn't know if i should climb back down but I was half way. I committed to this so I made my way to the top. Over the other side, was a drop. One that I couldn't see from where I was on the ground. I could see everything from a bird's eye view. It's like I could see the bigger picture. The bigger picture.

My eyes shot open and I sat up. My pulse racing and my forehead sweaty. "That's it. The bigger picture. Instead of worrying, I need to see the bigger picture." I whispered. "The only problem with that was how do I do it?"

I had no idea. Nothing could possibly show me the metaphorical bigger picture. There had to be something I was missing.

There was.

I crept out of my bed and into the hallway. Carefully closing the door behind me and creeping down the corridor to the one person able to give me the bigger picture without questioning anything. Carefully knocking on the door, I stood still with a small smile. The door opened and the person inside gave me a confused look. "(Y/n), why are you up so early?" "Sero, I need you to get me onto the tallest building you know and fast." He rubbed his eyes and yawned. "Why?" "Please!" I begged. "Fine, but you're explaining to Aizawa why I'm tired tomorrow morning." "Deal."

Sero took me to an Office building. It was taller than UA in height but skinnier that UA in width. Nor did it look that stable. "Ready?" He wondered. I nodded. "Ready as I'll ever be." "Then hold on tight." He wrapped my arms around his neck and gripped onto my waist with his hand. Shooting his tape around, we eventually made our way to the top.

I frantically began looking around, there was nothing. Absolutely nothing that could point me into the right direction. "What are you looking for?" Sero wondered. Another yawn leaving his body while doing so. "Something."

"Something?"

"Yes, something. Something out of the ordinary. Something that's not meant to be there."

"Something like that?"

Sero pointed out into the city. I followed his finger to see something flying through the air. "What is that?" He wondered. It took a moment before it stopped. It began hovering and turned it's spotlight off. "Down!" I partly yelled, pushing Sero's shoulder down to hide behind a wall. Just in time for a loud bomb to go off.
