This time I will protect them I won't be a coward

In the semi-darkness of the emergency lights illuminated on the each side of the landing of the exit stairs.

Denki somehow managed  to slip and scratch his elbow as he felt his vision going blur and pain flaring across his chest all of a sudden.

He hears an angry voice echoing in his mind, "I won't be anyone's punching sandbag anymore Kacchan!".

Denki grabs on to the railing to keep himself steady and sees a flash of something fuzzy moving in the darkness towards him.

He sees a blur of the same Black cat's monochrome eyes shining from the landing of the stairs.

Shit! He was hallucinating!.

Denki closes his eyes tightly and grits his teeth and wills the pain to go away.

Denki's mind goes back to what Recovery girl told him before about the healing quirk which he had received from All For One.

If it had any side effects on him. He should come straight away to her. But that was strange he had not once after healing Midoriya twice used the quirk. So why now was it hurting him!. Argh the pain was not making him think clearly. But why was his body hurting him this badly. To the point where he could feel Death was hovering around him.

Denki opens his golden eyes and shuts his eyes back again as he feels another wave of pain passing through his body.

After some time he lets out a shaky breath and stands on his trembling feet. Denki starts walking towards the infirmary while being mindful of the steps. That mysterious black fluffy cat now walked beside him patiently down the flight of stairs.

Whenever Denki felt he was going to fall the black cat would nuzzle its cheek against his ankle.

This action of the mysterious cat makes Denki smile. For some reason the cat was worried about him just like his own classmates.

So the mysterious cat was real after all. As the cat follows him to the infirmary building now before running off into the green lush bushes.

Meanwhile at the infirmary,

Recovery girl sighs as she watches Aizawa Shouta scold the two beaten up boys in front of him while All Might tries to calm an angry Aizawa Shouta but shrinks at Aizawa's glaring dark red eyes.

Both Midoriya and Bakugou gulp in fear at the knowing Aizawa sensei's look.

They both knew they were in big trouble now as Aizawa sensei points out his index finger first at Midoriya and suspends the poor boy for two days. Who instantly pales at the suspension word  and then next come  Bakugou  who was for three days suspended. Bakugou gruff at his sensei words by crossing his hands over his chest.

Aizawa sensei then asks them to submit an apology paper before the end of their suspension period and proceeds to yell on why they do have to follow a curfew time and allow their injuries to heal by themselves instead of relying on the old lady's healing quirk and asking Kaminari to heal them was still a big No No.

Both the boys stiffen up at the mention of their fragile friend's name.

Bakugou gives a dark look to Midoriya knowing full that Kaminari had healed his green haired idiot childhood friend-twice!.

Bakugou makes a 'tsk' sound at Deku sitting next to him and continues to listen to Aizawa sensei's scolding lecture.

Aizawa Shouta was about to continue with his scolding list but gets interrupted when he hears the door knob of the infirmary turning slowly.
