*Beep...Beep...Beep...*

I slowly open my eyes to reveal a bright white ceiling. 'Where...Am I?' I slowly sit up, slight pain shoots through my body. My head slightly throbbing. I take a look around me. An IV plugged into my left arm, a heart-rate monitor as well, quietly beeping. 'The hospital?' I turn my head towards the clock on my left. "5:38 A.M" I sigh. I look to my right to reveal Renzo and the rest; sleeping peacefully. "You guys..." I whisper with a smile.

I carefully get up, trying not to make noise. I delicately pull out the IV. I open the door quietly and step out, closing it gently behind me. I walk around in my hospital clothes. Walking towards the elevator, I enter, pressing the button to the top floor. As the elevator started moving, every few floors it would stop and open for a nurse, doctor or another patient. Each time, I smile, silently bowing to them respectfully. Soon, I near the top floor. The elevator no longer filled with people. It was silent, except for the quiet music that played as well as the beeps each time you passed a floor.

*Ding*

The elevator opens, and I walk out. I find a door that says, "Rooftop" and open it. I climb up the stairs slowly, gripping on to the railing. I reach the top and open the door, the rising sun glowing. I walk towards the edge, grabbing on to the railing gently, I stare at the Sun, slowly rising, glowing a beautiful orange and yellow. 

 I remembered what happened back at the USJ. "I hope everyone's OK..." I say to myself. I continue to stare in the distance, the Sun's shape now past the horizon. 'What did they want? Why does he want me?' I recall, clenching my fists, trembling.

I relax."That doesn't matter anymore." I say, gripping my right arm. "I'll be fine..." My hand slowly falling back to my side. The Sun shining brightly in my face, a cool breeze gracefully blowing into my messy hair. I slowly close my eyes. 'It's fine.'

I stand in front of my hospital room. I look at the clock down the hallway. '8:26 A.M' I fell asleep for 3 hours on the roof. Silly me. I hear commotion in my room, I slowly open it to reveal my mother pacing the room clearly worried. Michi on the phone yelling. My dad was sitting in a chair trying to calm down Renzo, who was crying. My eldest brother saw me and rushed to me. "(Name)!"

I smile at him. Everyone's attention on me, standing at the door, bandages all over my body. "Good Morning." I greet quietly. Soon they all envelop me in a tight hug. "(Name)!" My mother cries as she hugs me the tightest. I smile gently. Closing my eyes, I return the hug. 

"Thank you...everyone." My voice barely above a whisper.

I enter the classroom, everything loud. Everyone looks at me, wide-eyed. "(Name)! You're not supposed to be here! You still need to recover!" Ochaco shouts at me, walking up to me. "She is right. After what happened 4 weeks ago, you were in a critical condition. You collapsed upon losing too much blood. And you had multiple bones broken!" Iida explains, hands waving around.

"It's OK! I feel all better now! There's no need to worry. Are you guys alright?" I ask them, worried, written on my face. 'We should be asking you that.' The class thought. I spot Izuku walking up to me. "Midoriya! Are you OK? How are your legs?" I ask, walking up to him, looking down at his legs. "I'm fine. Really. My injuries were only minor compared to you. You took the most damage!" Izuku mentions.

"It's fine, it's fine! I'm all better now! I'm stronger than you think!" I say, fist up. 

Aizawa walks in. "Get your costumes on. We're going somewhere." He quickly says, leaving the room again.
