All Might POV:

        "The situation being what it was, I can't scold you two this time." Recovery girl tells myself and Midoriya. I'm in the nurse's office all bandaged up, Midoriya is in the bed beside me, also covered in bandages. Beside him is Hikage, unconscious due to overusing her quirk. "I think, I've probably shortened my time limit again. I'll be lucky if I still get an hour a day." I say, struggling to sit up. "All Might..." Midoriya says, "Whaddya gonna do, bad things happen." I say in an attempt to lighten the mood. "Pardon me." A familiar voice says from the doorway. "Long time no see, All Might."

        "Tsukauchi, I didn't know you were here!" I say, turning to face my old pal. "All might, is this-uh- is this okay? You're..." Midoriya starts to get concerned. "Yeah! It's fine! Why you ask? Because this is my favorite detective on the force, good ol' Naomasa Tsukauchi." I say, Tsukauchi laughs a little. "Thanks for the weird intro. Um, no rush, but I'd like to talk to you about these villains." He says, I need to ask something first. "Wait, first, are the students alright?! And Aizawa- Eraser Head? And Thirteen?!" I ask, there is a small pause. "Aside from these two," Tsukauchi motions to Midoriya and Hikage. "The students've got nothing more than a few bumps and bruises, and the two teachers are out of danger for now. If you three hadn't put your lives on the line, the students wouldn't have made it out unscathed." He says, I look behind me. " I see, but you've got one thing wrong, in this fight the students put their lives on the line too." I explain, Tsukauchi seems to understand. "Umm, All Might, Hikage- umm- she's waking up. She's gonna see you."

Hikage POV:

         I sit up, Midoriya seems concerned. I look over to see All Might in his true form, I get it now. "I want to prank him." I say to All Might, he rolls his eyes. "OMG, why is there a strange man next to you, Midoriya?" I ask, he looks frantic at this point. "I-" Before he can speak, I act surprised, "Woah, that hair, IS THAT ALL MIGHT?" I ask, Midoriya looks as if he's going to jump straight out of his skin. "N-NO! What I mean is- um- well, what I mean is, he's my... uncle." He lies, I snicker a bit. "How are you feeling, All Might?" I ask, he smiles. "I've definitely been better, the question is are you okay?" I nod, "I think I extended my limit!" I say, All Might sighs. "I lowered mine."

        "Wait, you know? She knows?" Midoriya asks, I let a giggle escape, "I used to babysit her, couldn't stay in my hero form for five hours now, could I?" All Might replies, Midoriya looks envious. "When dad couldn't watch me, All Might would cover." I say, then it all comes flooding back, how poor of condition my dad was in when I last saw him. "Wait, where's dad." I ask, trying not to let them hear the concern rising in my voice. I fail miserably. 

        "Shota... He's still in the hospital, he'll be home this evening. Your – Um Hizashi is gonna bring him home, until then, you're stuck with me." He says, I feel the tears welling up in my eyes. I refuse to cry in front of Midoriya. "Okay." I say trying to feign numbness, another fail. My cracking voice gives me away. Midoriya walks over and places a hand on my shoulder. "It's going to be okay, he's going to be okay." I tense, a tear falls down my cheek, then another, then another. I feel All Might's hands on my shoulders, "It's not your fault, you can't save everyone." All Might says, "Besides, Tsukauchi said that he wasn't in danger." I lighten up a bit at the mention of the detective. "Is he still here?" I ask, All Might shakes his head no, "He had to go take statements."

        All Might guided me out after saying goodbye to Midoriya. We take the bus home and he sits with me when we arrive. "So how's the hand?" He asks, I don't answer, leaving us in silence. The door opens, I run to my dads with puffy eyes. Dad is wrapped in bandages all over, the sight makes me want to cry again. He opens his arms to the best of his ability, and I give him the gentlest hug of my life. He gives me a gentle kiss on the forehead and I help him to the couch. "Let me see the hand." Dad says in a hoarse voice, I hold my hand up. There is a scar, "We're both going to a session with recovery girl tomorrow." He says, I nod.

        Dad sighs, "Hikage, look at me... in the eyes." He says, I do, trying my best not to cry. "It's. Not. Your. Fault." He says putting emphasis on each word, I start crying. He motions for me to sit closer. Soon after papa and All Might come out with food, All Might eats with us. 

         The next day, there is no school. I ask recovery girl to leave a badass scar, she rolls her eyes, but does. Dad is a bit better, but still has to wear bandages. And the next day, dad prepares the class for the sports festival, which approaches rather swiftly.
