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

That person yelps in surprise.

From the voice Denki recognises it was  Izuku Midoriya.

Denki peeks open one eye at Midoriya and mutters something.

Izuku had to bring his ear next to Denki's mouth to hear him speak.

"Four shots of espresso in a mug and a buttered toast please...good luck with your Hero Work studies.. you are not alone anymore..you have good yawn* friends yawn* zuk-" says Denki weakly and goes back to sleep.

Kirishima glances back at Denki's sleeping face and mutters quietly to his friends who were equally shocked and confused as him, "Was he sleeping talking?".

Midoriya looks away from Denki's sleeping tired face and says with a doubtful look, "Hmm....I don't think so".

They stand there in silence processing what just happened.

Bakugou Katsuki was the first one who clicks his tongue and says, "Like hell I will allow you to enter that kitchen nerd!".

Despite using a rough tone, there was no usual bite in his words. Kacchan was feeling guilty about how he treated Izuku for so many years.

The Ash blonde haired boy was starting to see Izuku as his equal rival  now after coming to know about One For All secret.

He secretly vowed to change his self.

Katsuki clicks his tongue and stomps  towards the kitchen to make Denki's breakfast.

"But those are basic things anyone can make it" says Todoroki Shoto from behind in his usual deadpan voice while tilting his head slightly. While Bakugou quietly glares at Todoroki from the kitchen counter with a raised knife in his hand which glints dangerously from the overhead lights.

Todoroki blinks in confusion and dumbly says, "You need help?".

A angry vein mark appears on Bakugou's both forehead and neck and he starts snarling at Todoroki like an angry chihuahua.

Todoroki misunderstands the situation and says under his breath, "Hah, even the great Bakugou Katsuki needs help".

Kirishima looks away from his two friends and says tiredly,
"Oh Midoriya before you go. Can you help me lay Kaminari-kun down on one of the sofas. My muscles are kind of sore from overusing my quirk"

"Yeah sure" says Midoriya.

Both the boys lay Kaminari on one of  the sofas and stare at the still sleeping fragile boy who now gripped Kirishima Erijiou's jacket like a soft toy in his hands.

Izuku was about to walk away from Kaminari when he caught something metallic glinting underneath Kaminari's bangs.

'What the-'.

Izuku kneels down and exclaims with an alarmed look, "Stitches!?".

"I tried asking bro but he kept avoiding the question like a plague. You know I sometimes feel like kaminari-kun is definitely hiding something from us" says Kirishima who was massaging his sore shoulders tiredly.

Todoroki Shoto walks up to them from behind  and says, "You should give him some time to open up".

Izuku kneels down again on the floor and caress Kaminari's cheek with the back of his scarred hand and says to himself in a sad voice, "He has been through a lot lately".

...

He walked across streets past various lanes to an ancient abbey, outside the abbey two  big warrior angels statues stood on the side of the iron wrought gates guarding the ancient building.

There was a buzzing sound in front of the gate then a bluish static lighting portal opened and he jumped into it.

Then he is met with a cold freezing atmosphere.

There was a screeching sound of tires on the cold frozen road and red lights flashing in front of him avoiding him and skidding to the side of the road.

His skin felt cold as ice.

Each step he had taken towards the overturned vehicle was shooting an addictive sensation of burning freezing across his Lichtenberg scars.

There was a flashing of blue and red lights ahead of him, a lady clutching the two albino twins and in the overturned car and there was a flash of light again, more screaming and crying and a dark shadowy figure emerging from black smoke with two orbs of white and red circling lights around him.

He was watching someone else's memories. These memories were not his.

He was an outsider.

A bystander perhaps?.

Denki tries to scream for someone to come and help the twins and the injured lady in the overturned car but no words no sound comes out of his lips.

When he touched his neck something like a  vine  with thorns was coiled around and squeezing it.

As he watched the horror unfold in front of him. He could smell the burning of the skin and flesh reaching his nostrils and he retches at the smell.

The black figure as if sensing his presence moves towards him while coldly saying, "When will you accept it when will you accept it??? When when when..".

"Angel accept it but fight against it even if time is running out don't let the darkness consume you. You were not meant for this. I am sorry" whispers a soft sad unknown voice.

Denki feels his body begins yanked up by the vines and thorns digging into his arms now.

Denki shuts his eyes tightly and wills himself to wake up.

The nightmare scene changes, where a nun is running around the courtyard of the abbey, after an albino girl whose hair is tied  two pigtails and yelling, "Come back, Agatha!".

"Nooooooo I hate choirs" screams the little girl as she runs past Denki into the woods.

"Agatha?. Where did he hear this name?". Denki says quietly as he watches the new nightmare scene in front of him.

Were these prophetic dreams?.

Denki could feel his  body was fading indicating he would be waking up soon and then he heard the leaves of the trees quietly whisper nearby him,

Agatha is one of the twins which guides the lost souls.

Denki's golden eyes go wide at the mention of the name there is a burst of a blinding light and he wakes up with a jolt.
