Lash's pov
I scroll through the contacts. Holding my finger up over Erric's contact. Please answer.
I poke the contact and i listen to it ring. He doesn't answer.
His voicemail plays a simple," This is Erric Miscalculation, leave a message at the glitched beep." And the beep plays.
"Bro, i'm alive. The story of how i'll save till you actually call my comm. I'm not at the bottom of the ocean. But i owe my life to highschool superstudents. Again, call me. I don't want you...." my voice nearly breaks, my quills pulsing between relaxed and scared."mourning me. I'm not dead. Please call me back you silly Glitch. See you big Brother." I end the call, and i feel tears flow, lightly glowing in the dark room.
I hear a knock and the door opens,
"Lash?"
Iida. I gasp as i try to calm down.
"You ok?"
"Y-yeah, i just tried to call home. No answer. Just voicemail-l." I couldn't stop the sob as Ingenium comes in and holds me close. I sigh as he says.
"I know it must hurt to be so far from home, esspecially from a scare that none of us can understand."
I nod and i wipe the tears and i try mareion, voicemail too.
"Call me Mare, i'm not rotting in a wreck, do what you can can and get back to me."
I hang up again and Ingenium chuckles.
"Let's get you out of this." He picks me up and we walk out of the room.
"Why do you all seem to enjoy picking me up?!"
"Because your perfect carry size." I flush as we fully step out and i hop onto his back and i climb up to his head.
"I mean your so light that i barely feel you on my head." I chuckle.
"That's how i intimidate, i get on peoples heads and i taunt them, it's my style." I hop off the head with a light pushoff of my shoes, winking as i flip and land.
"It's a odd way of things."
I shrug," i don't have many laws in my world, besides be kind. Mobians are naturally peaceful with no inclination toward violence or stealing or villain activity. We only fight if we're pushed."
"And you?"
"I've been painfully forced into your world of paranioa."
Ingenium nods.
"I see. A terrifying thought. For a species of peace-" my comm beeps and i look at it, it's a text, i open it and i see it's from Russel.
Two words,"miss you"
I type back,"i'm still here."
A reply,"who was the one we buried?"
"SkyMidnight, but we renamed her to SkyKnight."
"Oh my chaos it's actually you. I need to tell Comic, be back soon."
I smile," they're gonna answer soon."
"Good, now.... i need help with something, come with me." We head outside and into the woods behind the dorm. I see a hasty First aid setup. Just what was going on?
"I need help with sort of upgrading my quirk."
"How do you do that?"
"Painfully, but i don't know if i had the strength to do it alone." I smile, nodding."i'll help. What do i need to do."
He sits down and extends his leg.
"I need to change out certain parts."
I nod," where do we begin?"
"Pull out these things actually poking out of my leg, new ones will regrow and i'll be able to keep up easier. I'll love to have you test my new speed once we're done." I nod and i grip one.
"Ok, here goes nothing i guess, sorry Iida." I pull and i feel the metal part give, and he stuffs a rag into his mouth. Sheesh, guess he doesn't want anyone to worry. I fully pull it out and he feel him flinch as blood comes from where i pulled it out. I grab a spare rag and i use it to put pressure and wait out the bleeding. We'd have to do this many more times. I collect my energy to prepare to heal Iida if i need to. We continue the proccess, changing out the old engine parts.

I stay with Iida the whole time, waiting till the blood clots to move onto the next piece. Towards the last few pieces i could see Iida try not to nod off, so i say softly,"Chaos Heal" and the healing energy wraps around his leg, rejuvinating him for the last few."k, two more, grab me if you feel like your gonna pass out ok?"
He nods, and i pull the next part out, his legs are beginning to tremble. Luckily, only one more part left.
"Once this one clots, last piece, then i can heal you again if need be, it'll help boost the regrowth process."
He nods, and after 5 minutes of waiting, i let off the pressure and i pull the last piece, then i focus,"Chaos Heal" my energy wraps around his legs, but i feel a small amount drawn to his arm, his nerves are weak on his left. What happened there?
"I feel my power drawn to your left arm, may i ask why?"
"I was horribly injured by a villain. It left permenant damage."
"Not much is permenant around me." I let more energy in and it cycles to his left arm, the nerves strengthening fully.
"The numbness is gone."
I nod," i can't heal genetic sickness, but i can heal injuries."
"Thank you. I wasn't ready for that to be healed, maybe you could help Midorya once you get your strength back."
"Whaddya mean?"
"He's done terrible damage to himself cause of his quirk." I nod."luckily you guys fill me with excess energy, the pro's not so much, except All Might."
"Really. Why is that? Is there certain people who feel like they make you stronger?"
"Yeah, Bakugo, Deku, and Kirishima. They're the most unpredictable. The most Chaotic. And that's what works so well, extra Chaos equals insane amounts of excess energy for me. I still have a bit of excess, if my quills are anything to go by."
They still had gold tips, and regrowing gold over the light blue already.
"That's some power you have. Since my legs are no longer in pain, let's get back and see if Midorya's around, if not, he's with All Might for some reason."
I perk up at that, did they not know?
I wouldn't tell though, it's their secret to tell.
"Yeah lets go, let's see how bad that damage is. I'll check my texts on the way."
Ingenium nods and stands, i walk with him, making sure he doesn't hurt himself on the way back to the dorm, and he heads to his room, no new texts or calls on my comm.
So i head off to find Deku, not in the dorms or his room, so i go running on All Might's running path.
Sure enough, i see the duo and i slow down beside them, feeling my energy levels surge upwards.
"Hey you two, mind if we stop and talk a minute? Sure i can jog and talk with the best of them, but i bet neither of you really can, esspecially All Might, who's puffing louder then Papy after a 20 minute flight."
Both pull to a stop and so do i."what do you wanna talk about?"
"Iida mentioned you really mucked yourself up, and since i was able to fix that nerve issue in his arm, he wondered if i could heal you too."
Midoryia shakes his head," if anyone needs healing it's Allmight."
I turn to the older man and i say, kicking over a semiflat rock.
"Sit, let's see what i can do."
All Might sits down and i place my hand on his shoulder.
"Chaos Heal!"
As soon as my energy flowed into his body, i could feel the problem, a massive section of his body felt like it was torn out. Plus a ton of surgery damage. I channel more energy into it and i could feel my energy get to work, first fixing his stomach, then his lungs and diaphram. This was getting tiring fast and i knew it, i stop, falling to the ground, panting hard.
"I did what i could for now. What the heck happened to you? It was like a whole part of your intestines was just gone, my energy had to remake them from your DNA, sorry by the way."
"I knew it'd be a bit much. It's an old battle injury. About 6 years old now."
"Holy- yeah i'm glad i did you first, i'll do deku in a few hours, once i'm overflowing again, i doubt i could heal you much more All Might." He nods,"thank you for trying at least, maybe you could join us for our run? Since you say being around us pumps you up so much."
I nod," odd way to say it, but sure, it won't take much speed to keep up, if any at all."
So we continue thier run, finishing at the dorm and i follow deku in, heading to my room for now, i'll heal him tommorow.
