I peeled off my shirt after lying on the shower floor for a while. I look at my skin. There are red and dark purple spots on my collarbone and neck. I pull of my other clothes and begin furiously scrubbing my skin. After about 10 minutes it is raw and irritated. I turn off the water and pull the towel off of the rack. I wrap it around my body. I crack open the door. I am shivering despite the warm feeling left by the water. "Midoriya? Please get me some clothes. From my dresser." I hear Midoriya stand and open my dresser. He hands me a night gown and undergarments through the doorway. I close the door and try to get dressed.

Using the counter I manage to stand and look at myself in the mirror. I saw the marks on my collarbone and whimper. I sit on the floor and put my face in my knees. I start to shake as small shaking sobs rack my body.

Midoriya's POV

I'm really worried about Phantom. She seemed to be really injured. She could have been stabbed, but I don't think that's it. There wasn't any blood. I hear her in the bathroom. It sounds like she's sobbing. I don't know whether to try and comfort her or stay out here. The last thing I want to do is walk in on a girl if they aren't decent. I decide to take my chances and crack open the door. Phantom is sobbing on the floor. I bite my lip before gently picking her up. I don't see any blood on the floor so she wasn't stabbed or anything.

I leave the bathroom and bring her to the bedroom. I gently set her on the bed. I notice a small note on the ground. I pick it up. 'A secret for a secret' What does that even mean? I look back at her. I saw something purple on her shoulder. I came closer and inspected it. It looked like a hickey. I continued to look her over and noticed some other random bruises on her arms.I thought for a minute before the realization hit me.

I started pacing the room. What am I supposed to do in this situation? I am a male so she probably wouldn't want my company, but she needs someone to comfort her. I sigh then sit beside her. I wrap a blanket around her shoulders. I start to stand, but she grabs my sleeve. I stop moving then sit back down. She crawls over my legs then huddles against my chest. She is shaking and I can feel my shirt getting wet from her tears. I ignore it and wrap my arms around her shoulders. I lay my chin on her head and wait for her to calm down. This isn't the killer who kidnapped Bakugo and I. This is a girl who was hurt mentally and physically.

After a while she stops shaking. Her breathing evens out and I know she is sleeping. I lay her down and stand up. I decide to run to the central area to grab a water for when she wakes up. I return and she is still sleeping. I sit on the edge of the bed and think. I take out the note from before. 'A secret for a secret' This was my fault. She must have been blackmailed or something. I set the note down then lay beside her. I soon fall asleep.

Y/N POV

I quickly sat up. My eyes snapped open. I frantically looked around the room. Memories of last night flooded my brain. I groaned then saw Midoriya beside me. I think I remember him taking me here? I shake my head to clear it. There was a water bottle beside my bed so I picked it up and downed it.

I felt movement on the bed and saw Midoriya stand. I could faintly remember him putting me in bed. He sat cross legged on the bed across from me. "A-are you ok? I-I think I know what happened. I'm not really sure what to say. If you need help I'm here." I put my head down and nod. "I think I'm ok now. No reason to dwell on the past." He seemed surprised. "O-ok." I frowned. "Why are you stuttering again." He seemed to calm himself for a bit. "I am just nervous. I thought something like that would be kind of traumatic." I nodded. "It's certainly something I won't forget anytime soon, but I think I can get by now."

He put his head down. "I'm sorry... this is my fault..." I shook my head. "No, really it's mine. I decided not to kill you. It was my choice so I have to face the consequences. I probably deserved it anyway. I am a killer after all." Midoriya stood. "I don't believe anybody deserves that." I dryly laughed. "Yeah, maybe." We sat there is silence for a while. I rolled over to the edge of the bed. "I need to go on a walk." He stood and went to where I was about to stand. "I don't know if that's the best idea." I waved him off. "It's fine."

I set my feet on the floor. I grunt as I try to stand. Midoriya grabs my shoulders to stop me from falling. I wobble before taking a couple steps. I am so sore. I can hardly walk. I turn and drop on the bed. I sigh then turn on my side. "I can't. I'm way too sore. I can barely walk." I crawled under the blankets. "Just wake me up later..." I hear him sigh before leaving the room. He later returns with some breakfast. I gratefully eat.

We both look up as there is a knock on the door. Midoriya walks over and opens it. Kana bounds in. "Hi!" I wave. She sits on the bed. "My cut is getting better. Thank you!" I nod. "That's good! Look, I won't be able to play or train with you today. I don't feel well right now." She nods. "Ok." She turns and leaves the room.

Midoriya seems puzzled. "What?" He closed the door. "Usually younger children will have a different reaction." I shake my head. "We're taught at a young age to act mature." He nods. I set my plate aside and sit on the edge of my bed. I stand. Midoriya puts his shoulder under my armpit. "You shouldn't be standing. Where are you going?" I nodded towards the bathroom. Midoriya supported most of my weight as I walked to the bathroom.

I grab the counter. "I should be ok now." He closes the door. After relieving myself I grab the counter and lift myself up. I open my cabinet and look through the contents until I find some pain medicine. I use the faucet water to take it before shuffling to the door. I turn the doorknob and Midoriya is waiting outside. He helps me back to the bed. "Thanks." He nodded in acknowledgement. I layed down. "Midoriya, tell me about yourself. What do you like doing? Favorite food? Hobbies? I feel like talking."

We talk for a few hours about our likes and dislikes. I notice that he avoids talk about his quirk. He also avoids talk about his relationship with All Might. I decide to surprise him. "So, are you All Might's secret little love child or something?" He looks at me like I'm insane. "Why does everyone ask that!?" I laugh. "I mean you have almost identical quirks and you seem to be really secretive about him. It's just a theory." He nervously laughs. "Well... umm... you see..." I laugh and put a hand up. "It's fine. I'm just pulling your tail." He laughs. "Oh, ok."

I lay back. "You know, I don't regret not killing you, even if last night was... whatever word I could choose to describe it with. Your a good person. It makes me feel good that your still here." He doesn't respond. I sit up and put my chin on his shoulder. "I don't know if I've killed anyone who was good. I've worked here since I was about five."

"Five?! Wait, that means your only like seventeen." I nodded. "Yeah, my quirk was surprising so I was recruited. The first time I killed someone was when I was seven. It left me pretty shaken. I didn't like killing people. Now the feeling's numb. I don't know if that makes me a bad person too. I'm not sure yet." He rubs my shoulder. "I can't say whether your good or bad. I feel like your misunderstood. If you were a bad person than you would have killed me. But you didn't." I nod. "I guess your right." I yawn. "I'm tired." I slide down beside him and rest my head on the side of his leg. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

When I wake up Midoriya is asleep beside me. I realize that I have to go to the bathroom. I try to stand up and find that I am still sore, but can at least walk now. After using the bathroom I check the time. It is late. Around 3 or 4 in the morning.

I lay back down on my bed. I am about to fall asleep when I hear a lot of movement outside. I nudge Midoriya. He wakes up. I hold a finger to my mouth then gesture towards the closet. He nods then hides inside. I grab my pistol and sneak up to the door. I open it slowly and my eyes widen at the sight.

Oooh, cliffhangers.... So evil of me mwahahaha!!!
