Under the suffocating blanket of darkness lay Izuku Midoriya. In silence.

Soon enough the rhythm of beeps invades the quiet space, before the blanket is pierced by light.

Slowly opening his eyes Izuku found a few noticeable things. The white-walled room with equipment. The blob of pale blue hair at his base. And the smiling face of someone hovering over him. Someone with royal blue eyes and periwinkle coloured hair.

"Oo oo, you're waking up. Hey there." exclaimed the light bubbly voice Izuku could only assume belonged to the face staring at him, based off of how her lips were moving.

Izuku, feeling so confused and tired soon let out all the questions possible in one word. "Wheremst?"

"Huh? Wheremst? Is that real word? Are you okay?" asked the girl

Soon enough Izuku then woke up to the fullest extent, the sleeping neurons firing all at once to inform him of the past 14 years of his existence. The cursed clock his brain cursed him with soon rushed through to him, giving him to the time down to the very second. He then suddenly got his bearings and one worry stopped the train of thought from leaving the station. Eri. His expression shifted to worry and panic as he grabbed the girl in front of him by the shoulders and dragged her down. "Where's ERI?! IS SHE OKAY?! I HAVE TO MAKE SURE SHE'S FINE!" shouted Izuku in distress.

The girl looked at him in some mix of shock and concern. Before smiling and answering. "Oh you mean her. Yeah she's fine." The girl then pointed behind herself.

Izuku moved her to the side of the bed before looking at the blob of pale blue he identified earlier now being defined. The blob of hair soon moved and looked up. The eyes of Izuku meeting the eyes of Eri who was now crying. Before Izuku could speak, Eri rushed from the base of the bed to the front where she embraced Izuku. The small child holding tight.

"Izuzu." Said the little girl in a shaky voice. "I thought I lost you."

Izuku soon returned the hug. "Don't worry I'm here Eri. I promised you  wouldn't lose me."

Silence followed before the bubbly girl spoke up. She started to throw questions at a rapid rate. "So wait are you her dad? Adopted dad? Are you her brother maybe? What happened to your body with all the scars? Why do your eyes look like that? Are you-" The girl then stopped herself. "Oh sorry, I shouldn't be throwing all these questions out. Sorry" Said the girl.

Izuku blinked a few times before answering, his face going neutral and soon sheepishly forgiving. "Um, no worries, I wouldn't mind answering some." Izuku rubbed the back of his head.

"Oh really? Wow! No one ever wants answer my questions." She said. She hovered off of the bed and planted herself onto the floor, bouncing up and down with her feet in excitement. She then made a face of realisation before extending her arm out "Oh wait I'm so rude. I'm Nejire Hado, first year at UA." Smiling brightly she waited for Izuku to return the gesture.

Izuku looked lost for a moment before returning the gesture. "Oh I'm Izuku, Izuku... uhhh... Midoriya. Izuku Midoriya."

Nejire then spoke up. "Well it's nice to meet you Midoriya. So about my questions." She bounced up and down again.

Izuku then spoke in response"Oh right... so-"

"So wait are you Eri's dad? Or her Brother? Why do you look like that? What's with your eyes? How old are you?" Nejire soon fired her questions one after the other.

Izuku pondered only a few moments before responding. "Well no I'm not Eri's dad or brother... I'm too young in anyways. I'm only 14" Izuku pointed to himself.
