I guess that worked

Toga's POV

I woke up in my room, right beside Ochako, who looked a lot calmer then what she was previously now she was asleep. Remembering the situation, I checked my body for any harm that may have come to me during my unconscious state. Nothing. How odd. Looking over to Ochako, I realised her arm, or rather what was left of her arm, was no longer bandaged using a scrappy piece of clothing, but was instead bandaged neatly, almost professionally, with genuine bandages. "What on earth? What happened?" I mumbled. It makes no sense that I would be kept around due to my violent outburst and ripping Shiggy's arm off, but Ochako? Why would she be kept alive, never mind here. She is a hero in training. She also had her arm ripped off, if he was so intent on killing her, why would she be kept alive? This was too strange. "Ochako? Ochako wake up," I whispered, nudging her. "Hm? What's going on? Where are we?" She rolled onto her side, hoisting herself up with her arm. "Isn't this your room? Why are we here? Why are we alive?" She grumbled, only semi awake. "Yeah it is my room. I don't know what we're doing here or why we're alive," I answered, just as confused as she was. "Do we..go look around? I mean, what have we got to lose?" I asked. "Uh well I guess," she mumbled. I stood up, stretched, then helped Ochako get herself up. "Okay, I'll go out first, since I'm currently the most intact, and I'll tell you if you're good to come out m'kay?" I told Ochako, stood by the door. She nodded, shockingly happy to say she had just lost a limb. I opened the door, seeing Kurogiri sat at the bar with his legs crossed, and Shiggy laid on the sofa with a blanket loosely thrown over him. "Good morning Toga. How are you? I hope your head isn't hurting to badly. Is Uraraka okay? Did her bandages bleed through at all?" He turned to me. "Oh, good morning to you too Kuro. I'm fine just a little achy. And Ochako's awake; her bandages only bled through a little," I answered, trying me best to be polite despite being so confused. "Ochako, you can come out, it's safe," I mumbled. She crept out from behind the door, standing just behind to me. "Morning Uraraka," Kuro greeted. "Morning," she answered, clearly unsure if he was a threat and keeping an eye on the more obvious and certain threat. "Hey Kurogiri, I have a question. Why are we here? Shouldn't we be thrown out or something? And why are we patched up? It just doesn't make sense," I asked, trying to understand what was happening. "Hm, I guess this situation would be a little confusing. You are here because Shigaraki has already left you for dead, I wouldn't allow him to do it to you again. And Uraraka's here because I know she means a lot to you, I wouldn't allow you to lose her. Also, you're 'patched up' because if you're going to stay alive, you're going to have to be bandaged up or else you'd both bleed out," he answered. Deciding Kuro wasn't a threat, Ochako slunk out from behind me, still keeping a close eye on the more obvious threat: Shiggy. "Is Shiggy okay? I know I kinda...ripped his arm off," I asked nervously. "Mhm. As apposed to Uraraka's arm, his didn't need 'neatening'. Your knife cut his arm more precisely. He should wake up soon enough, he's fine," He answered. Hearing that Shiggy could wake up, Ochako slipped back behind me. "There is no need to fear him Uraraka. I won't allow him to harm you further," Kuro spoke, trying to comfort Ochako. She didn't take that as truth, so she stayed behind me, supposedly using me as a human shield.

Uraraka's POV

Knowing the possibility of Shigaraki waking up, I slid behind Himiko, trying to get away from Shigaraki and keep him in my sight. "There is no need to fear him Uraraka. I won't allow him to harm you further," the purple mist Himiko called Kurogiri said. Though he seemed trustworthy, I wasn't going to move and make myself more prone to attack, especially since I'm weaker. "Why don't we watch some TV? Y'know to lighten the mood," Himiko suggested. Kurogiri nodded and I hummed my approval. So, Himiko trotted forward, leaving me behind, and grabbed the remote, Turing on the TV. Coincidentally, the first thing that appeared was the news talking about me. "UA student Ochako Uraraka has been reported missing after a failed mission in a red light district," the news reporter said. "Huh only one day and you're already reported missing. They must really like you," Himiko mumbled. "Student Izuku Midoriya, the other student with her on the mission, has taken it upon himself to find her," the news reporter continued. "Deku? He's trying to find me. He knows you're here and he knows why I 'went missing'. He's coming here, he has to be, he isn't dumb," I muttered, half taking to Himiko and half myself. "So? He comes here and you go with him and if we're lucky I come along too," Himiko answered, not seeing the danger of the situation. "Himiko, if he comes here, he might wake up Shiggy. If not, he'll see this and freak, automatically assuming it was one of you and attacking, waking Shiggy," I replied, gesturing to the bandage covering my left arm. "Oh right. So what do we do about it?" She asked. "I...Don't know. Kurogiri, any ideas?" I asked the purple mist that had been listening in on our conversation. "I'm afraid not. Apologies," he answered. "Crap. Okay so what do we do? Do we let him fight or what?" I muttered, not wanting Deku to be dismembered or hurt. As if on cue, Deku bust the door down, green lightning spread across his body. "Toga! Is Uraraka he- oh. Wait, what happened to your arm," he asked, trotted up to me, the lightning fading. "Okay before you go attacking people, I'm fine. There's no need to worry about it," I replied, not pointing blame to anyone. "But how will you use your quirk? You need two hands to release things," He said, showing a fair point that I hadn't thought about. "You have a fair point. What will I do? I can't continue without a quirk, can I? I can't afford a prosthetic. My family's business will crumble. What will I do?!" Himiko and Deku shared a worried, awkward glance . "Look I'm sure your big prestigious school has enough money laying around for a prosthetic, I mean they built those dorms really quick and I bet there's hundreds, if not thousands more then what you need," Himiko explained, clearly not sure in her own words. Deku just nodded along. "...I guess you're right. Let's get out of here before he wakes up," I sighed. "Oh. I didn't even realise he was here," Deku mumbled, only now seeing Shigaraki. "C'mon then. Himiko, you coming with us?" She turned to Kurogiri, who nodded his approval. She turned back around, bouncing towards me and Deku, a beaming smile spread across her face. "Alright, let's go," I said, opening the door and trotting out, Deku walking and Himiko skipping happily.

Toga's POV

We finally arrived at Ochako and Deku's big fancy school of good people. "Familiar?" Ochako asked sarcastically. "Mmm kinda. So this place is gonna let me in?" Ochako and Deku glanced at each other. "Uh maybe you should stay behind me. The police haven't magically forgotten about the fact they're after you," She answered. I nodded and slipped behind Ochako, following her closely as she walked to the gates. "Shoot. The alarm will shut down the whole place. I can't really get us over anymore can I?" She made a fair point. "I'll jump us over! I could do it one at a time," Deku suggested. Ochako nodded and I went along with it because I really had no other choice then staying out in the open. He took Ochako first then me. "So are we just gonna go straight in? Isn't it like Wednesday? Everyone will be in lesson, no? If we time this wrong, I'm dead," I asked, knowing Deku daren't stand up to the heroes and Ochako's to weak to stand up to them. "Well yeah I guess," Ochako answered. "Eh I guess that's good enough for me," I said, trying to shake off my internal fear. Me, Ochako and Deku walked up to the door, opening it to see no one. We timed it well. I slipped behind Ochako as we kept walking, searching for something. I had no clue what we were looking for. Deku and Ochako found their way to the teacher's lounge, only to find there was no teachers. Ochako groaned and walked away, towards something else. She found her way to class 1A. "Ah haha. No. You do realise that's a room full of people who want me jailed, I'm sure some even want me dead! I ain't goin' in there. He can go with you," I muttered, pointing to Deku. Ochako didn't answer. She shoved the door to the classroom open, grabbing my wrist and dragging me in behind her. "Hey everyone, Mr. Aizawa. Guess who's back. Can I just like go sit down?" Everyone stared at her like she had murdered someone and brought the body. "Uraraka. I have multiple questions. First of all, what on earth happened to your arm? Second, why is a villain being dragged along by you? And also, where have you been?" I laughed nervously, knowing if Ochako couldn't explain this situation, I'd be in deep shit. "Well, to answer two in one, I went off to find Himiko because I couldn't deal with the fact we lost her and ended up getting in a fight with Shigaraki so I lost an arm and she went nuts and tore Shiggy's arm off. So that's where I was and why my arm's gone. She's here because she's better being here then out in the open and I didn't put all that work in to leave her. There. Answered. So can I go sit now?" He stared blankly for a moment before answering, "Sure go on. Just don't cause any more issue then you have. And you green-haired problem child. Sit. And you fangs. Don't cause issue or you're gone, got it?" I nodded and sat on the floor next to Ochako's desk. I don't know what the plan was, but I didn't think it'd be 'walk in and sit down like nothing's happened'. I could feel people's eyes on me. I was so uncomfortable. When Ochako's class was over, I grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the room. "Are you nuts? What on earth was the plan? What am I gonna do? People are gonna freak if they see me!" I half yelled, half whispered at Ochako. "Okay, alright, you'll be fine I promise. I honestly just went with the flow, I had no plan. But I'm sure you'll be okay," she mumbled nervously. I stared at her for a minute, before turning away. "Where next," I asked. "Uh well I have lunch if you wanna join us or you could just go back to the dorms," she answered. "I'm starving, I'll come along." She nodded and started walking down the halls. The canteen was massive and filled to the brim with every year in the school. There was hundreds of people. "Oh Jeez, this place is crowded," I muttered, following Ochako as she made her way to a table. I sat down and waited for Ochacko to go get food. Everyone kept staring at me. I just wanted to leave. I wouldn't care if it was the street or even back with Neo, I just wanted to leave.
