The Aftermath

All Andy could remember was walking back with Mr. Aizawa and some of his friends. After he broke his arm everything was a blur.

By the time he got up the sky was already dark. The smell of anti bacterial and medical supplies filled his nose with a disatisfying sick smell. His eyes opened slowly as he let it ajust to the light. The unrythmic, slow beeping of the heart monitor set off in the background peirced his ears like an arrow.

Right, he forgot to tell anybody that he has an irregular heart beat. It could have been bad if he never got diagnosed when he was little. He surely must have given the poor nurses a heart attack of their own. They must have thought he was dying.

Oops

He slowly sat up to get a look at his arm. It was completly wrapped up in a hard cast. His hand was pointed foward with his fingers out straight. Part of his elbow was still exposed and was covered in softer bandages.

Dried up drool had collected on the side of his face as he instinctivly tried to wipe it with his bad arm, not realizing it was damaged yet. He tried to pull it up, realized his mistake and immedietly stopped, but nothing really happened. His arm didnt move up or down, nor flinch. It just stayed there. His elbow wasnt wrapped up- so he should be able to move it.

"MY ARMS PARALYZED?" Andy screached out in a panic. His eyes widened and his face went pale as he felt the blood run from his face. He then began to attempt to move it again, only for it to fail once more. He placed his good hand on the bad as he checked for feeling.

"oh- im fine..." He sighed in relief as he looked at his arm like a strange alien. Why wasnt his arm moving? Is this some use of a quirk so he wouldnt move it when he woke up? Oh well.

The door creaked open as a nurse with glasses peeked into the room. "Hey there. You alright?"

"Yeah... im fine. I just cant move my arm." Andy smiled nervously at the nurse. The nurse was quite small with a pair of round glasses and a odd, wide mouth that practically went ear to ear. His ears were sharp and had hear in a short pixie cut of white and black spotted hair.

"Oh- uhm- ill see if someone can tell you whats going on. Youre from U.A right? The kid who fought off half of the villains and helped protect your friends" The nurse had a slight gleam in his eyes, yet still kept it professional.

"You make it sound like I did all that willingly" he laughed, trying to keep the conversation from not getting depressing and making it sound traumatizing, which it was.

"I mean, its still so cool! Youre going to be so popular in school now and everything" He smiled, trying to destroy the unsurity of the kid radiate off of him. That sentence had only made Andy more nervous. He didnt want to deal with the drama comming back or the questions going back.

"Yeah, heh- are my friends alright? And Mr. Aizawa? And Thirteen? Are they alive?" Andy's eyes flashed with concern. 'Did Midoriya get healed? Was Mr.Aizawa saved in time? Did the warp gate villain kill Thirteen?'

The questions raced in his head like a horse on a track. He prayed that the answer would be anything but death from the nurse.

"Oh, everyone is alive and well. Some of your friends came to say 'hi' but you were still asleep". He reasured with a smile. "Im going to go find someone who knows whats going on with your arm."

He left to find a nurse leaving the Andy alone in the room. He stared at his arm amd thinking. What 'friends' came to see him? Shinso might have come to say hi but he said friends with an S. That means multiple people came to see him. No way 1-A came to say hi while he was there. 'Wait this morning? How long was I out? Did I sleep this whole day and a half without even waking up once. How the hell did this happen?'

"Hey there kiddo. How you feeling" A nurse walked in with a cart of random suplies with a laptop on the top. She swiveled it in and almost rode on top and slid into the room.

"Im doing fine, im just concerned why my arm wont move" Andy pointed to his arm as if it wasnt obvious which arm it was.

'I wonder if hes talking about the ARM thats Broken.'

She smiled and moved to check out his arm, putting on a pair of blue rubber gloves in the process. She pulled off the wraps from his hand as Andy's eyes bounced between the nurse and his hand, recording his reaction to his hand.

As soon as the last bandage came off, she swiftly wiped down the hand with an disinfectant wipe before he could see it. When she was done it revealed that his palm as scabbed and raised from the cuts his nails made while his fingers was pinned.

"Can you move your hand for me? Dont try to force any movements too much." She said thowing the wipe down onto the cart.

He moved his hand the best he could but it was followed by a hiss of pain from his nose. His first to fingers curled slightly and his ring finger followed instinctivly. Nothing other than the slight movement came from his swolen and cut hand.

"Alright, thats good. You can still move it. Any pain your feeling anywhere else" She got up to grab more cleaner bandages since the last ones were slightly soiled by his bloody palms.

Andy pointed nervously as his elbow, not sure if she meant arm or arm is already eliminated. He followed it with an unsure 'uhm' and she glanced over to look at what he was pointed at.

"Yes that counts" she laughed, knowing exactly what he was trying to say. She finished up wrapping up the hand and took a look at the elbow. It was a gauze covered in tape that kept it down to his arm. It peeled off easily to reveal a already half healed with scabs lightly covereing it. The elbow was mostly itchy but held a decent amount of pain. The fresh, cool air quickly relieved him of the annoying itch that killed him inside.

"You know your arm was in a tight squeeze." She smiled, keeping her focus on his elbow as she cleaned it and replaced the gauze.

"Hm?"

"Your arm was so crushed we thought you wouldnt be able to use it again. Luckily for you it was still saveable. Your arm was crushed to the size of a golf ball." She reached to the cart behind her and grabbed a giant pad and placed it on his arm, then taped down the sides.

"I thought I scared you people with my heart. My arm i can live without but my heart is a different story" He laughed and curled up his feet into a pretzel, careful not to disrupt her bandaging.

"Your heart did scare us. It gave the EMTs a big spook." She laughed out

"Ah, yeah im sorry about that. I should have told someone about that before just in case." Amdy smiled as the nurses constantly walked in and out to check different things.

Some checked his heart to make sure nothing bad was going to happen while he woke up. They tested for brain damage, more looked at the tendons in his arm. Someone showed him the x-rays of his arm, which was broken in three different spots. Another was a picture of his gauntlet and how small his arm was really crushed. Someone else checked his legs for any spraining. It was a busy night and he jad school in the morning, so to say he was annoyed by the constant, needed harassment was an understatement.

To give a reference and a general size comparison, the average size of a forearm is about 10'6 inches. The size of a golf ball is about 5 inches. Therefore andys arm was nearly crushed to half its size. Just think of the size of your arm cut in half! Its quite a squeeze
