A Hero's Return

Chapter 5

[4 Hours Later 3:12 A.M.]

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Midoriya sat up, startled awake from his nightmare. 'Where-Oh yeah I am at the dorms.' Midoriya got up and walked over to his bathroom. He looked himself in the mirror ''D-Damm-it it happened again'' Midoriya said as his breathing picked up and his anxiety had settled in. Midoriya washed himself up and then went back to lay down.

He tried and tried to go back to bed but he couldn't shake the nightmare he awoke from.

'*Sigh* Guess I can go train even though it is...' He looked at his alarm clock, '3:45 in the morning.' He sat up and grabbed the photo album that All Might and Inko had given him before he moved into the dorms. He flipped through the album and saw a lot of photos of Inko, All Might, and himself together as a family. Happy. Midoriya started to have tears in his eyes remembering all of the fun times he had with them.

'I miss you guys so much...I promise I will become the #1 hero' He sent the photo album back down and then he got ready for the stress-relieving, yet painful training session.

[10 Minutes Later...]

'*Huff**Puff* Man it hurts but it helps with the nightmares' Midoriya thought to himself as he continued his assault onto a thick tree stump, with a flurry of punches and kicks that looked like they were never going to slow down.

Momo woke up to a very weird sound. She walked out to her balcony that was attached to her dorm. Then she saw a familiar tuff of dark forest green hair. 'What is the- Hold on, is that Izuku? What is he doing out at 3:57 in the morning?' She then saw that Midoriya was not slowing down, in fact, he was moving faster, turning into a blur of fists and kicks.

'Something is not right here. I have to talk to him to see what is wrong.' Momo thought as she slipped her robe and slippers on and then she ran quietly outside, without disturbing her classmates.

Midoriya didn't feel the pain from his legs and knuckles. He didn't feel the blood running down his shins and fingers. He also didn't feel the pair of onyx eyes on him.

"I-I-Izu-ku what are you doing out here so early in the morning?" Momo asked the greenette. Midoriya jumped at the sound of her voice. He quickly stuffed his hands into his shorts. "M-M-Momo?! Did I wake you up? I'm s-s-so s-so-rry!" Midoriya exclaimed. Midoriya didn't realize that one of his fingers was not in his pockets and he now could feel the blood starting to drip from his finger onto the grass. 'Fuck..She had to have seen that.' Midoriya was "Midoriya, why are you training so hard that you get inj-ured?"

Midoriya didn't reply. He just stood there quietly. He didn't want to be a burden to her or anyone, but he can't live with these nightmares. In the beginning, he would dream of seeing either his Mom or Dad get tortured or killed. But the more and more that would happen he got used to it but tonight it was worse, much, much worse.

"I was just training is all..." Midoriya insisted.
Momo sighed. "You are clearly not ok. For one you are bleeding and two no one trains at..." She looks at her phone, "at 3:59 in the morning."
"So I ask, what is wrong?"
"I....I...I had a nightmare worse than the ones that I usually have." Midoriya started.
"It started with ones where my...m-m-mom or my d-dad would get killed but the one this morning involved..." Midoriya struggled holding his tears back. Momo seeing this grabbed his hand and gave it a tight squeeze assuring him that she was still there.
"The villain that All Might had fought...All for One...taken all of you guys down and I got there too late...When I got to the dorms..he had just...k-k-kill-ed you and left before I could do anything..." He confessed, and then he broke down. Momo turned and hugged Midoriya.
"Hey...hey I am here...and I am never going anywhere." Momo promised. "Here. Let's get you inside and patched up."
She broke the hug and helped Midoriya to his feet. They got into the common room. Momo had set Midoriya down on the couch, and went to the bathroom to get the first aid kit.
* Timeskip to the morning because I am lazy*
'Uhh...what happened?' Midoriya thought to himself before looking at his arms and legs.
'Oh yeah I got help from Momo this morning after she found me. Speaking of what time is it?' He glanced at the alarm clock on his night stand and it read...'9:56 huh? Time to get up.'
He got up out of bed and went to take a shower. When he got down to the common room he did not expect this at all..
"Well I guess you don't need my help anymore don't you... Uraraka?"
