NIGHTMARES [Aizawa Shouta/Eraserhead x Reader]

8

On the daily routine that the Eraser hero was still getting used to, he would usually awoke to a tossing and turning [name]. She would be groaning in her sleep due to the side effects of her quirk - being in cold sweat, clenching her muscles, trying to grab hold of anything she could reach onto - but this morning was different. As far as the hero was told before they met, [name] had frequent attacks whenever the situation even during sleeping hours. But for the first time in a long while, [Name] was sound asleep as if she was dreaming of something... pleasant maybe, he thought.

With the fact that he hasn't experienced any sudden outburst ever since last week, meant that she was gradually improving with her control. The most obvious sign for this development was how the bags under her eyes were gradually fading and did not seem much worse than his own. The calmness of her expression was enough to lessen Aizawa's worries and it was also a plus side on the pro hero since this would mean that he doesn't have to use his quirk so early in the morning. It gave him a chance to rest his eyesight to extend the usage of his ability for the training later that morning.

Although All Might was in charge of the Hero Basics class - which took the majority of all the units in their classes - he was to help out with him and another hero.

"What will we be doing?", Sero asked.

"Anything from disasters to shipwrecks. Rescue Training" Aizawa answered while holding out a card which was labelled with the word rescue on it. The room was then filled with excited and nervous chatter. It was the prime opportunity for his students to show off their abilities useful in their future profession as hero which did not just involve battle.

"For this training, you can choose to wear your costume or not because some of them will limit your movement. The training area is a little far, so we'll go by bus. Start preparing"

After sending the rest of the class to get ready, Aizawa called out to [name] telling her to follow him. Since she wasn't taking Hero Basics as a compulsory unit, he asked for her to sit this one out. [Name] was already knowledgeable with facts and the only thing that's left was to put that into use but unless she can keep her quirk at bay, then the fact of her joining the rest of class 1-A for this training would not be beneficial at all.

They were to have rescue training at the Unforeseen Simulation Joint or the USJ for short. It was a bit risky to let her stay at the infirmary where she would be so far to reach if anything were to happen. Being that USJ's location was incredibly far from the main building where they are, it would require a vehicle to reach the place if they wanted to get anything done within the day. But then he also wanted for her to consider this as part of her training. And he wanted to get that point across to her.

The child simply nodded 'yes'. Even though he looked so apathetic, he was glad that [name] was mature enough to understand his choices or maybe it was because she had no choice but to do so.

Aizawa had turned his heel around to go to the other direction. Usually he'd have [name] tugging his shirt whenever he was about to leave but there was none. He continued walking along when [name] said something that made him stop.

"Come back...", she muttered. "I'll wait for your return" Her eyes were looking straight down as she said those words which made the pro hero's bloodshot eyes widen. It was absolutely emotionless as if she was stating a fact or an order perhaps. But how those same words reached him felt different. His eyes returned to their lifeless state before he looked back at her.

"I'll be going then" was his final words to her. Although he never thought that it may be his last.

He continued on he's way out before a familiar voice spoke. "Going soft, are we?"

The raven haired man could only raise a brow. His friend was trying to insinuate something which he would definitely deny over and over again.

"You do realize that you're starting to dote on [name] and the kids, right?"

 No. He had to be logical about this. It was just a proof that the effort he's put in trying to build a connection with the girl was working and proving to be well. And it was just the same with his students in the field of discipline. That was all. No strings attached to it.  

"I don't know what you're talking about", he grimaced.

"Oh c'mon. Its obvious you've taken a liking to them especially [name]-chan", the loudmouthed blonde hero said as he swung an arm over the raven haired one.

"I don't have time for your pointless chatter. I still have training to attend to", as quickly as that he pushed Mic away and proceeded to move forward. There was a faint suit yourself comment from the distance but he didn't pay attention anymore.

Class 1-A had just boarded the bus they had to ride in order to reach the training grounds. Like the usual, the atmosphere was noisy and in a riot especially with Bakugo losing his cool again. Everyone was in high spirits which just irritated the homeroom teacher. 'Taking a liking', huh? There's no way he thought.

"We're almost there, that's enough"

"Yes!"

When everyone had gotten out of the vehicle, they were met with Space Hero No. 13 who was apparently a gentleman hero who excels at disaster relief. They were brought inside for a briefing of the construction of the facility but one thing concerned Aizawa... All Might wasn't there yet. Thirteen informed him that the Symbol of Peace was resting at the moment due to his excess use of his power.

"He's so illogical", the latter commented. "It can't be helped, let's begin" The older hero then stepped aside so the Space Hero could begin stating a few reminders to the lot of soon to be heroes but it turned out to be an inspirational talk more than anything.

They were just about to start when suddenly the lights started to flicker. And amidst the area, a trans-dimensional gate or warp gate appeared. Being the pro that he is, Aizawa immediately sensed the foul and evil presence it gave off. This was bad, he thought. No. This was the worst.

"Stay in one group! Thirteen, protect the students!", he ordered to both his colleague and students. Villains then began popping out of the warp gate one at a time until there were several, no, a group in battle stance who were ready to charge in at them at any time.

"Don't move! Those are real villains", as he uttered those words, the entire class went stiff with fear. This wasn't just going to be any simulation, no. What they were going to go up against were the real deal and this was not something they could not handle with their numbers alone. Yes, they had two pros with them but it was far too risky. And as stated by Todoroki, these villains were fools but they weren't dumb. They must have a purpose for setting up this planned attack.

After a few more orders to call the school and evacuate the students, Eraserhead launched in to attack the group by himself. With his goggles in place, he activated his quirk making his onyx orbs go bloody red and his capture weapon come to life. Being unknown to the media, it became his advantage to charge head-on but it was soon to be a life and death situation when the enemy figures out his weakness.

After several minutes in combat, the entire situation had taken a turn for the worst. Class 1-A was scattered throughout USJ, the villains had gotten the upper hand and both the pros were utterly defeated. The pro hero, Aizawa Shouta was now pinned down and sprawled on the concrete floor of the facility, limbs broken and bathing on the pool of his blood. Maybe this was it? Maybe this was where he was to meet his own end? Being unable to save his students and his colleague and then there was...

Come back... I'll wait for you, were the last of his thoughts before he blacked out.
