Nightingale Syndrome

Chapter 9

-3rd POV-

The Cavalry battle went on and Izumi kept analyzing and collecting information about what she sees, which Aizawa -of course- noticed. It was extremely suspicious, but he also noticed the semblance between her and Izuku. She was unconsciously mumbling, and her fingers twitched every once in a while, as if writing something down. 'Twins...' he assumed his sleeping position and took another nap. Time was running out for the competitors, and in three more minutes the game will end and another will start. "Ah... He trapped them... This will be a challenge for Izuku and his team." Izumi said, Present Mic -the eternal MC that he is- questioned why, and her response made the sleepy hero and the loud hero realize how smart Izumi is. Probably smarter than Yaoyorozu. "Well for one, Shoto's team is very well balanced, ponytail girl can create different things, glasses is very fast, it's easy to see that he's holding back. Lightning boy is their personal stun gun, which in my opinion is very important. Right now if they use the technique they did earlier with other students, they would immediately be able to steal that 1 million." Izumi paused in thought while Present Mic along with the audience listened intently. "But if they did that they should still be cautious, having a one on one with Izuku might get them to lose. Round face already made all of her teammates lighter, that was obvious when they used pink hair's imitation of the previous Jet Hero. Bird face is their horse, he may be slower than glasses but his quirk compensated this flaw. His quirk is strong and I'm sure with a little more dimness of the surroundings his quirk will amplify. Let's not forget Izuku. He may be useless in regards to skill, but he had a good head on his shoulders. He'll be able to counter Shoto's plans. And even if Shoto was able to steal the 1 million... Well let's just say the battle between men will be even more complicated."

-with the cavalry students-

Izuku didn't know of he should smile or sweatdrop, Izumi practically just gave him a treat but she stepped on it before he could grab it. 'she's still pissed' at Izuku at least. He shook his head and focused his attention to Todoroki, with the information Izumi gave for all to hear, he weighed his chances and plans in taking on or just avoiding Todoroki's advances. (that sounded so wrong yet so right xD)

From where Izumi sat, she was constantly sighing. She felt like something was missing, she felt as though she wants to go somewhere else other than where she sat. There was an utterly disgusting feeling she felt through the pit of her stomach, but not knowing what it was, she stayed quiet and observed. "TIMES UP!!!" Izumi flinched at Present Mic's loudness, she looked at the score board and raised an eyebrow. Even in the Sports Festival, Izuku still managed to weasel his way to fourth place. "He's really changed... Tch. Stupid Deku... Stupid quirks..." Izumi mumbled quietly, feeling very irritated. She was still bitter about Izuku being in the hero course.

Izumi was on her way to Recovery Girl's infirmary when suddenly, she heard a deep and taunting. 'Izumi. It's almost time for you to come back.' said greenette looked around and glared at whatever she laid her eyes on. Izuku flinched at the intensity of the glare, not really knowing why Izumi was glaring at him. "M-Micchan? Are you feeling okay? You look kinda pale..." was his hesitant question, Izumi continued to glare, as if in a trance but suddenly all went black.

-Izuku's POV-

I tried to give Micchan a reassuring smile but her glare just intensified, making me more nervous. I outstretched my hand but before I could reach her, she suddenly fainted. "Micchan!" I looked around to ask for help, but shook my head and carried her to Recovery Girl's temporary infirmary. "Recovery Girl! M-Micchan suddenly fainted!" "Lay her down quickly! I'll see what happened, while you go get something to replenish your strength with! Now shoo!" I couldn't protest much with her cause before I could, she already got me out of the room.

'what happened to you Micchan?' I thought as I walked where I knew Iida-kun and the others were. "Deku-kun! I thought you were going to get Izumi-san?" I gave the most reassuring smile I could muster and shook my head. "She suddenly fainted when I was asking her... It was like she was in a trance or something..." I saw both Iida-kun and Uraraka-san share a glance, but all I could do was sigh.

-Recovery Girl's POV-

I sat near my table, observing the young greenette. She have made no signs of waking up, it was unusual for her to suddenly faint. I made sure she stayed healthy, that her pulse and vitals were normal. What could have caused this? I sighed and reread her CT scan results.  "How is she Recovery?" I turned to the door and nodded at Nezu, "Do you remember when we gave her a CT scan?" I continued when I saw the principal nod. "I noticed that she has two separate brain waves.... It's very unusual and quite frankly, it's scary. It's like someone has a tight grip on her consciousness." "I think we both know who is behind it..." as much as I don't want to admit it, I can't deny the possibilities. "We better watch her carefully. She might suddenly attack us when or backs are turned. Or worse... Harm the students." "I'm more worried about what we'll say to her brother....  He clearly loves his sister dearly, I don't know how he'll take this information in if we told him."

-3rd POV-

Little they know, Izumi heard their conversation. Not only that, she remembered her mission; to infiltrate UA and gain as much information as she could. 'they're on to me. At least I'll have a little challenge.' Izumi thought as she began to drift to sleep.

Meanwhile, a figure outside the infirmary walked away. After hearing part of the conversation, his head started to spin. Thinking of ways and reasons as to why and how it happened to Izumi. Why Izumi? What gain would they have in doing so? He himself didn't know. But all he does know is that he wont let them get what they want. As the number one hero, he won't let them succeed in harming another innocent soul.
