Away

"Honestly, a Gen Ed student had less injuries than you two." Recovery Girl says.

"Why do people underestimate me because I'm Gen Ed." I mumble "And it's only day three, we're on the same level for the most part with a few exceptions."

"I'm impressed you've held your own." All Might says "Considering your age."

I don't respond to him, it's just years of training to be a hero then training with actual villains.

"Pardon me." a man with a tan trench coat and fedora walks in, removing said hat.

"Can I go yet?" I ask Recovery Girl, my bags are already with me thanks to Sensei, but if I stay any longer the gang will start worrying. "Not so fast!" She points her cane/needle at me "The parents of the hero students already expect the chances of their children getting attacked. Your guardians aren't as so, so we have to call them first." Oh shit. "Um, can I talk to them? They don't know I'm at UA." I can probably call Compress or Magne and have them pretend to be my parents.

"Alright, go into the next room, I already have the number dialed. Just have to start the call."

Or not. I guess I oughta come somewhat clean for the most part, at least to them. I go into the next room and press the dial button, not even looking at the number.

"What did Shoto do now?" I hear my oldest brother say over the receiver.

"Wrong twin Toya." I reply only to hear a rather loud clunk and someone else asking what the matter.

"Are you okay?!" Toya more or less yells after he picks up his phone.

"I'm fine," I assure him. "I just got hurt at school and had to call you before I can go." I'm not going to tell him that I'm not in the hero course. Don't need to disappoint him.. "So can you give me the okay for me to leave?"

"You can go when I pick you up." Toya says "What school are you at, wait-" he cuts off long enough for me to call him an idiot "Already heading over there."

"You don't need to pick me up Toya." I tell him "I'm not even hurt that bad."

"Azula," that almost breaks me "I haven't seen or heard you in years. I'm already over so it's not out of the way."

"Alright." I sigh, I'll just have to let Compress know, I can say that I'm working on a school project. It'll also give me a bit of time to heal up before heading back to the Squad.

"I'll see ya in a few Sis." Toya says "Love you."

"Love you too Nee-chan." he then hangs up. I don't even know what to do now, I mean I can't wear my wig or he'll make the connection, but so will Midoriya and All Might.

"All done dearie?" Recovery Girl asks, walking in.

"Yeah." I answer "He's on his way to pick me up."

"Good! Now All Might and Midoriya have already left but the detective needs to talk with you before he goes."

"Sure thing, I'll be there in a sec." I need to get my poker face back and a bit of a story in case he asks about, well, me.

"You needed to talk to me?" I ask, walking into the nurse's office.

"Yes, I know you need to rest so I'll make this quick," he says "the man you handled in the Ruin Zone."

"What about him?"

"Well he isn't dead despite the cut across the chest."

"Because chest wounds are only deadly if you hit the heart or both lungs." I shrug off-handedly.

"So you meant to do that, yes?"

"Yeah," I say "to act as a distraction of sorts so that I could knock him out. Since I wasn't aware of anyone else that got warped to the zone with me since I was in a different part from Kirishima and the bomb kid."

"That's all I needed." the detective says "You seem like a good kid." the man gets up from his seat "I'm sure your parents are worried about you. Make sure you give them a hug."

"Sure thing." I reply with that, he is gone.

Guess it's time to get ready to see Toya. I take off my pink wig and take out the gray contact from my left eye allowing my heterochromia to show. Putting all of it in my bag and pulling out a plain, charcoal beanie and putting it on to still cover most of my natural red and white hair. I mean Recovery Girl already knows so I don't need to hide it from her.

"That's better." the woman remarks, walking in. I guess, I mean my hair is cut short so that I don't have to wear a wig cap. "Now get some rest. He won't be here for a while."

"Unless he goes over the speed limit and runs every stop light." I say, pulling up my chat with Compress to let him know. Though I'm probably going to change it to homework instead of project; more realistic for the start of school.

Out of the blue, the door slams open, I'm surprised it didn't break "Geez, did you swerve too? Or did you get escorted?" I ask, seeing the redhead from day one.

"Azula-" Toya walks over to me before giving me a tight hug "I honestly thought Shoto was pulling a prank."

"He's not that mean." I say, hugging him back "Me on the other hand."

"I swear to God if you did." he laughs before pulling back and looking at me "If there was anything I did-"

"You did nothing Toya." I tell him "It was not your fault. It was my decision." Part of the reason I didn't want to see him, because I know he blamed himself for me running away from him and Yuki.

"Okay, come on. Let's get going." Toya says, I get up, asking him if he got his homework.

"Well apparently my teacher is in the hospital so I can't get it from him."

"Yeah, good luck with that one." I tell him as I follow him. I spot Shinso as we walk by my classroom, he probably recognizes me from the look he gives as we walk by him. There's no getting around his questions tomorrow, I hope it's not intense.

"You good Sis?" Toya asks, geez it's been a while since I've heard that.

"Yeah, just stuff on my mind."
