That quiet why break heroes heart. Usagi just look at Aizawa while waiting for an answer, confused as why they would worry about her, no one worry about her. She feel how Mic's hand start to tremble on her shoulder and turn to look at him. He has unreadable expression and she frown, he is usually easier to read of them. "Present Mic, sir?" She ask worried. "Of course we worry about you." Aizawa's answer snap her attention back to him. 

Usagi frown when she sense waves of anger coming from both heroes but it is not directed at her. "Of course we worry about you kid. You seem to have a skill to get yourself in dangerous situations, you collapsed in UA and almost got yourself killed this morning." Aizawa say as calmly as he managed to muster at the moment. "I'm fi-" His glare shut her. She gulp and start to play with iv tube. "I didn't have time to warn you. I found out about the attack just little before they started to move." She mumble ashamed.

Then Yamada move to stand behind Usagi and pull her in his arms and hug her tightly from behind. "It wasn't your responsibility." He murmur. She stay still, not sure what he is doing and why. Aizawa nod as agreement. She glance at the heroes before she lower her eyes on her hands again. "I still was useless, too slow, too... weak." She mumble and grit her teeth, angry to herself.  

Yamada let go of Usagi and move to crouch on her eye level. She refuse to look at him. He gently untangle her fingers and raise her head. She hesitantly look at him in the eyes. "Now listen to me carefully, Little Listener." She nod a little. "No one else got hurt than you and Shota because of you. You saved several students, hold on your own until help arrived and protected Shota and those students with your life. You did amazing job, you hear me. You did amazing." He tell her with gentle tone but power behind it. She close her eyes and try to shake her head. He catch her chin gently, stopping her. 

When Usagi open her eyes she see that Aizawa has moved to crouch next to Yamada too and stare at them. "You are strong and brave girl Usagi. Braver than you should be. You are not useless, you saved me and many others today. Thank you." Aizawa tell her. She block the praises and thanks and nod blankly. Men frown, share a look and stand up. "Now you need rest. It is a miracle that you are already up, it has only been 13 hours. Doctors said that it would take several days." Yamada command and nudge her toward her bed. 

Usagi's eyes widen in shock. "13 hours?! I need to go!" She yelp and yank the cannula out before neither of the heroes could stop her. She has already grabbed her hoodie and pants and turn toward the door until they managed to stand between her and the door. "You don't understand, I need to go. Kuro is waiting for me! I can't just lay here when she or someone else might be in trouble!" She try to reason with them and get past them. Yamada grab her shoulder and move to block her way. "You aren't leaving. You are still recovering." He command. 

She yank herself free and jump back couple steps. "Just let me go and I won't bother you again." She plead in desperate tone. "I will disappear, I won't be a problem to you." She continue when they share another look that she didn't understand. "You can't leave and disappear again Usagi." Aizawa say. She blink and feel fear rush in her veins. "I know I messed up. I learned my lesson. I will be good in future. You don't have to-" Yamada walk to her while she ramble and put his hand on her head, that freeze her. She stare fearfully at the hero who crouch front of her again and wait for the hit.

Yamada pet Usagi's head couple times while swallowing. Eventually he clear his throat and start to talk. "No one will hurt you, ever again. No one will hit you again." He promise with gruff voice. She blink couple times and stare at him. She open her mouth couple times but nothing come out at first. "Why not? I deserve it." She whisper and hero shake his head, still keeping his hand on her head. "No you don't. Never did and never will." She frown confused. "I don't learn fast enough otherwise." He seem to bite his tongue for a moment before answering. "You are smart kid, Usagi. You don't deserve to get hit." She continue to stare at him, not sure what to say or do so he won't get mad at her. 

Aizawa clear his throat after a moment in silence. Yamada didn't move his eyes of Usagi but she turn to look at him over his shoulder. "Your father is arrested from child abuse." "Sho!" Yamada hiss while jumping to his feet and glare at the dark haired hero. He shrug as answer to him before turning to look at her again. "Why? Who he abused?" She ask confuse. He lived with her and for a moment with some woman. She pale. "Did he hit someone when he was living in other town? Who did he hit? Did they got hurt badly?" She blurt out worried. 

Yamada and Aizawa share another look. Usagi grab Yamada's arm in desperate manner. "Who did he hurt?" She plead to know, already blaming herself to disappoint him enough to leave her. "You, he hit and abused you." He answer and grab her hand on his forearm gently in his hand. She blink couple times. "Oh..." She breath out and glance between heroes. 

Then she remember her hyper healing syringe in her suit's belt and facepalm. "Idiot!" She spat to herself and turn to rummage through her belt's pockets. "Usagi?" "Kid?" She ignore them and finally find it. "A-ha!" She announce and pull the item in view. It look like anesthetic bullet vet's use. She turn to look at Aizawa with hesitant smile. "This is something I have been working on. It is healing bullet. It can heal you in less than minute but will hurt like hell. I haven't been able to get rid of that side effect yet." She explain.

Heroes stare at her in shock. Her smile slowly start to falter and her hand to lower down. "I know it isn't much as an offer but you got hurt because I was so slow so... Forget it, it is stupid idea." She say and drop her hand as well as her head. "Wait, wait." She turn to look at Yamada. "You have healing drug that can heal Shota in a minute?" She nod. "But it will hurt like hell. It isn't pleasant feeling when your cells force themselves back in right places and make new ones to finish the job." She answer and turn to look at Aizawa. "It isn't finished but I know it work." He frown. "How you have tested it?" She flinch a little and start to smile sheepishly. "On myself..." "How?" He ask with dark tone.

Usagi move her weight over one leg to other anxiously. "I can control what I heal, even shut my quirk down completely for some time." She mumble. "You have experimented it... on yourself?" Yamada ask shocked and she nod. "I take it." She whip her head toward Aizawa in shock. "I accept your offer. Use it." "It will hurt, like really really hurt." He raise an eyebrow and move to lay down on bed. She gulp and walk to him. She look at him one more time and after firm nod she put the needle on his thigh.
