You woke up with a yawn, you went to rub your eyes but you winced at the pain in your shoulder.

"Good morning." Midoriya greeted you with a smile, you gave him a harsh side eye.

The door opened and Torino's face appeared, you went to get up but the look on his face made you sit back down.

"I could yell at you two for hours, but you've got a visitor." The chief of police walked in.

"So you're the kids who brought down the hero killer?" You shook your head, they were. You just got stabbed so they wouldn't be dragged through the mud.

"Stain has some serious injury, here's a lesson you've should've learned."

Blah blah blah, all he spoke about was that they violated a law. Big deal! They saved a hero!

"Wait a minute!" Todoroki stomped his foot a bit. "If Iida wasn't there, then Native would have been murdered. And if Midoriya wasn't there then both would be dead!"

You stared at the usual stoic face, now filled with anger.

"Are you saying that we should've stood by and watched people die?"

"So you can break the law if it goes your way?" You frowned, your lip quivering like a baby.

"They were only protecting me! If any, I think that Stain should be punished! He used his quirk on us and even severally damaged my shoulder!" Tears streamed down your cheeks.

"[Y/N], the chief won't believe that." Torino stared at you and you immediately wiped your tears. "I stand by what I said!"

"I'll give you two options, either the four of you take the recognition but also damage your careers or you can give the credit to Endeavour."

She went to speak up, so you got stabbed for nothing?!

"With an exception, you'll be recognized as the four kids who held their own without any quirks until Endeavour arrived." You sighed in relief.

"Now that's just dumb." You answered, the three boys sweat dropped.

"Why would you refuse the surgery for that reason? The minute they say anything about my shoulder, I'm agreeing." Iida stared at you like a deer in headlights.

"I mean, do it if you feel like it'll motivate you or remind you I guess, but I'd rather have a working arm." You shrugged and got up.

"Where are you going?" Midoriya asked, you shrugged again. "Anywhere but this boring hospital, staring at the same thing all day annoys me."

"[Y/N], are you sure you don't wanna go back to your internship?" Your father asked once more.

"I'm 10000% sure! I don't want to be thrown into water again." Your father rubbed his temples and threw himself into the couch.

"I'm not going to be here tho, you'll have no one to stay with. And I don't trust the world enough."

Your father jumped up and you gasped in fear at the sudden movement. "Call young Midoriya! Stay with him at his house for the day!"

You went to protest but your father was already holding the phone to his ear with a smile.

That's why you're currently next to the greenette, standing in front of his door.

He knocked on the door and a shorter woman that looked IDENTICAL to him opened up. "Hello!" She ushered you in and made you sit down on the couch.

Not without taking your shoes off, of course.

"I'm so honoured to have you here! Please make yourself at home!" You sat there quietly, she appeared so sweet. It made you kind of nervous, what if you said the wrong thing?!

"You guys can hang out in his room, I'll be making dinner!" She waved her hand and you followed the freckled face boy to his room.

He opened the door and your mouth opened up in shock, your father was everywhere.

He looked down in embarrassment, you felt bad for a moment.

"Can I look at all your merch? It's fine if you don't want me too." You spoke up, trying to make the awkward situation better.

He nodded and you placed your phone down, you stared at the posters, figurines, books, blankets. He had almost everything!

Your eyes stopped on a book, it was labeled as "All might." But it wasn't a book about him, it was a regular notebook.

"Can I read this?" You pointed at the book and he nodded, his eyes quickly widening before they went back and he sat down on the bed.

You sat next to him and flipped through the pages, all your father's costumes were drawn, techniques, missions.

You went to turn the page but Midoriya grabbed the notebook. "Why cant I read that one?" You tried to peak at the page.

"It's embarrassing..how about we watch something!" He laughed awkwardly. "Just let me read it!"

He caved in after about 5 minutes of straight begging for him to let you read it.

You flipped the page and your name was highlighted in pink, your face was full of shock as you read it.

"How do you know more about me than I know myself."

You scanned the page, you didn't want to admit it but..you were looking for the word mother.

To your dismay, you didn't see the word that you wished you could've said everyday to someone special to you.

Maybe Midoriya was better with emotions because he quickly devoted your attention to another page that wasn't about you.
