Tartarus and six prisons afterwards, All for One had released an army of insanely bad villains, along with a few hundred thugs, and got away with it. He's kept in contact through my head, but since the connection is so faint it was easy to block him out. I watched it all on the news in my dorm room, the building feeling empty since I was one of the only people not in the hospital for an extended period. Luckily, with the excuse that I need to take care of my cat I was healed up and gone overnight.

I stand at Bakugo's open hospital room door and frown, finding the bedding disheveled and Sero in an awkward position on the floor. He must've heard about Midoriya's condition... I recall the visions that I've been suppressing to the back of my subconscious, one of them from earlier of Bakugo going down the hallway with Sato and Mineta trying to hold him back. With a chuckle at his antics, I go over and hoist Sero up, "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, Bakugo just freaked out when I told him about Midoriya." Sero rubs his head and winces a bit when he grazes over a scorch mark on his forehead, "Dang."

I hover my fingers over the burn and heal the damage with positive energy, which draws out the negative energy and therefore heals the burned skin, "There, all better." I smile warmly, dropping my hand back to my side. Sero's eyes stay on me for a what feels like a while but maybe is only a few seconds, so I decide to get out of the situation with a snarky comment, "What, did you want me to kiss your boo-boo instead?"

Sero chuckles uncomfortably, "Nah, I was just thinking about how you did that. I mean, not like your quirk isn't awesome or anything! But seriously how did you heal that?" He looks at me with a shocked expression coating his face, his usual toothy grin stretched into a confused frown.

I chuckle as well, rubbing the back of my head sheepishly, "I may have been training with Recovery Girl on my off days. It's nothing major, I just wanted to use my quirk for something other than hurting villains, you know? I hate hurting people." I only hate hurting innocent people, I remind myself, like the people we tortured for information back when the Paranormal Liberation Front was just the League of Villains, I could always take out fingernails and cut of digits if I just blocked out their screams of pain.

"How's that work?" Sero asks.

"Well, since injuries are a result of negative energy, like when you stub your toe and say 'dammit' or someone hits you, I just use positive energy to draw that negative energy out of the wound and it works like magic!" I explain, smiling brightly, "Recovery Girl taught me a lot about medicine and treating wounds, so I'm all set to heal minor injuries and tissue damage without much issue right now."

"Woah, neat!" Sero smiles, rubbing the back of his neck, "Oh," He drops his hand to his side as he remembers something, tilting his head at me, "Yaoyorozu said to have you call her when you're done here."

"Alrighty." I smile, which slowly turns to an amused grin as Bakugo's yelling can be heard coming closer down the hall, "Well, I'm going to to check up on Midoriya-san, I'll see you back at the dorms."

"Yep, see you then."
