Within a breath of a moment, All Might and Nomu had begun sparring. Kurogiri had collected Shigaraki as they impatiently watched the battle. Most of the goons still alive had disappeared as the real fight had started. 

Hurried yet forceful punches flew. Screams arose from U.A. members around me.

My hand trembled as it lay gently on Aizawa's wounded shoulder. Yellow light illuminated his unconscious body. 

Why would anyone risk themselves like this for others? Fight until they are on the brink of death just to be defeated..

Next to me I could hear staggered breaths. Red trickled down the blonde's forehead, leaking from a small gash. The laceration looks thin, most likely caused by the shattered window. Only for a brief moment did his narrow, crimson eyes flicker over to me before returning to the fight. Within that second I saw a flash of worry, but also something more. Did he want to fight? 

Aizawa had become stable, but still unconscious after my healing. I grabbed Bakugo's chin and turned his face towards me. Gently, I laid my fingers on his wound. 

"What the hell?" 

He grabbed at my arm in refusal, but his wound was already healed. His finger trailed over where the wound was, only gliding across sealed skin now. I wiped the traces of blood left on my hand onto my leather pants before placing my touch back onto Aizawa.

"Go. Aizawa's fine." 

His gaze never moved from All Might as I spoke and he blatantly ignored me. 

"I said g-"

"No."

I could see the anger bubbling into his sharp eyes. Keeping one hand on Aizawa, I grabbed Bakugo's shoulder. Tension faded from his muscles at my touch. His worried eyes steadied on mine.

"I'm ok. Go be a hero, Katsuki."
 
As the ceiling shattered, Nomu and All Might flying out, Bakugo leapt from the ground and propelled himself towards the others. 

Bakugo and Kirishima tried to land hits onto Kurogiri, but of course they wouldn't work. Shigaraki stood nearby the fight, keeping his gaze on me the entire time. 

The ground rumbled as All Might landed back in USJ. We waited in anticipation and fear, but Nomu didn't follow. Iida, along with many other pro-heroes entered the USJ just after All Might's return.

The heroes began to approach Shigaraki as he backed into the warp gate Kurogiri had just revealed. 

"NUMBER ONE, YOU WILL DIE."

With that, they were gone, only leaving the wreckage they caused behind. 

Cementos began to speak, but I was too lost in my mind to listen. Cries filled the silence of the now calm atmosphere of USJ. 

Aizawa was pulled from my touch as Snipe lifted him from my arms. Once he was gone, I couldn't remove my gaze from the red still pooled on the ground. My hand was covered in the blood, wet and dried. 

As I finally stood from the ground, a familiar sound caught my attention. 

The buzzing of static first started behind me, before spreading all around my senses. Looking up, all I saw was wide eyes and scared expressions staring back at me. I was able to instantly realize what was happening to me. 

Fuck

"YUI!"

A certain blonde came exploding towards me with an outstretched hand. His once narrow eyes were wide with fear as he barreled for the warp gate. 

A warm tear slipped down my face as I looked at him and everyone else around. Midoriya and Kirishima were mere inches behind following Bakugo. Each person holding a genuine look of fear and worry on their faces.

For me.
 

The purple and black static completely consumed me now as I quickly wiped my eyes. 

"Kuro. Could you have at least waited until I wasn't in front of an entire crowd of heroes to warp me?"

His familiar, deep laugh came from all directions. 

"Sorry Yui. Bosses orders to see you immediately."

The musty smell of our old hideout invaded my senses. I could hear the scratching of skin, instantly making me nauseous. The dull blue haired man stalked around the corner, obviously distressed. Silence filled the room before his hand came slamming into the wall. The area around his palm disintegrated into nothing more than dust. 
 
"What the FUCK was that Yui?"

The bile slid back down my throat as I swallowed nervously. I took a quick and discreet calming breath before responding. 

"You know Shig, I should be asking you the same question. How the hell am I supposed to explain getting warped to everyo-"

His hand clenched around my throat and cut off my words. At the bottom of my vision, I could see his pointer finger removed from my throat, the only piece stopping him from killing me. 

Behind him, Dabi walked into the room, his scars stretching from the expression of fear on his face as he took in my current state. 

"What the hell is going on here?!" The question left his throat in a low growl. 

"IF YOU WEREN'T OUR ONLY HEALER YOU WOULD BE DEAD RIGHT NOW YUI."

His harsh words sprayed onto my face as he spoke. Slowly, his pointer finger touched my throat. The unbearable pain and burning smell from my throat fogged my senses and eyes with tears. Before fully shattering my body, the pressure from my throat released. My body limply dropped onto the ground as I gasped for breath. Dabi was at my side in a split second, hand comfortingly placed on my back. I reached my fingers up to my throat, but as they ran over the newly formed hand-shaped scar, I knew I couldn't heal it. 

"What the fuck did she do?!" Dabi's enraged voice blasted past my ear. 

"WHY DON'T YOU ASK YOUR PRECIOUS YUI THAT?"

Finally breathing at a steady pace, my words barely escaped my trembling lips. 

"I-I.. don't know.."

His hand slammed back into the wall, even more pieces crumbling now. My body flinched as the dust fell the ground.

"YOU DON'T KNOW?! YOU'RE THE ONLY REASON ERASERHEAD IS STILL ALIVE!"

Dabi's eyes desperately found mine. "Y-Yui, what's he talking about?"

Shit. 

"All.. Might told me to.. heal him.. so he wouldn't die." I took a deep breath, steadying myself. "I was protecting my cover."

"HA.. HAHAHAHA."

My shoulders tensed as Shigaraki's laugh filled my ears as he approached my slumped body. Pointing his crusted finger in my face, he dropped to my level. 

"One more chance.. YOU GET ONE MORE CHANCE TO FUCK UP THEN YOU'RE DEAD YUI!"

In a swift motion, he stood, stretching his back. Turning back towards the now crumbled doorway, he began scratching his neck. Peering over his shoulder, he spoke with a smile.

"Tell them we left you with a threat. Until All Might dies, we will kill off his precious students one by one. Starting with you, Yui." A laugh tore from his scratchy throat. 

"Send her back, Kurogiri."

"W-Wait.. Wait!" Dabi desperately pleaded beside me, gripping my shoulders. "Don't send her back in there now!"

The static somehow calmed my nerves as I knew I was leaving this place. Removing Dabi's hands with my own, I smiled at him. 

"I'm ok now."

The warp gate engulfed me.
