Blank Space

Chapter 34: Power in the Form of a Man

"Ok, so it's obvious with our opponent being All Might, we won't be able to rely on our strength," Izuku stated, putting his fingers on his chin, the posture of when he's going to ramble his thoughts aloud. 

"But also, we can't run away; he'll just catch up to us with his speed, but if we hide, he'll just find us, or he might guard the exit gate," Izuku rambled.

As Izuku began to ramble about the endless possibilities that would fail, you couldn't stop thinking about Katsuki, you and Izuku worried about two different things. 

"He knows how important this is, so why wouldn't he be willing to cooperate?" You thought to yourself. You must remember that your relationship with Katsuki is now deeper than it once was. It's up to you to get him to cooperate with the team. 

"Y/n?" Izuku called out, but you were too caught up in thought to hear him. "Y/n?" he called out again. I'm still not getting a response from you; it's like he wasn't even there.

Finally, Izuku gently tapped you, getting your full attention. You made a "hm" sound as you looked up at him, "Are you okay? Usually, you're more attentive, Y/n." 

"Sorry, Izuku. I just have a lot on my mind right now. This will be my first time using my quirk for fighting since Hosu." You lied; fighting was the least of your worries.

"It doesn't help that we're up against All Might either," Izuku said. 

"And Sadly, we couldn't come up with a decent plan this entire time, our test is next, and all we know right now is that we can't fight him, which is common sense." You said

"Our best bet is to have you fight him, Y/n," Izuku said you shot your head up to look at him, making sure he was joking.

"Me? Izuku, get real," you say with a forced laugh. "Y/n, I'm serious, you're the one that went toe to toe with a nomu, the same one that took four pros to try and take down."He said, his tone convincing you that his words were true. 

"Ok. I guess you are serious, but I think you forget that I barely survived that fight, and the nomu was tossing me around most of it, I barely got any defense, I only survived because I had a miracle moment with my quirk."  You explained. 

"And also, do you think it'll be a good idea for me to fight All Might while recovering from a head injury?" Izuku didn't think that far, he completely disregarded your health. 

"I haven't thought of your injury. Can you hold him off with a few blasts from your quirk?" He asked.

"Yes, but they won't even tickle him, but as long I can try and avoid actual combat with him, I should be fine," You say.

"Then we might have to fight dirty," Izuku said, his tone noticeably darker than his normal serious tone.

"Izuku, you're scaring me," you say, exaggerating, but once you glanced into his eyes, your words held some truth; his eyes told his tale.

"Fight dirty, how?" You say, taking him seriously.

"You know about his weak spot, the part of his body that's bruised?" Izuku explained.

He was talking about that ugly bruise All Might has on the side of his rib.

"Are you sure that it's even a weak spot? What if he just gets pissed off and punches me in the face and breaks my glasses!" You say, getting anxious.

"Speaking of glasses." Said a deep voice from the corner of the room. You and Izuku quickly snapped your heads in the direction from which the voice emerged. 

It was Mr. Aizawa, "Here." He spoke as he tossed something to you. The box looked similar to a glasses case. "These are sports glasses, specially made for heroes with poor eyesight." He said briefly.
