Trigger Warning- I guess issues reminiscent of PTSD? (memories), Panic Attack 

Flashes of that night swam around her head, causing her eyes to blur and the ringing to emit in her head like it did that night. It's happening again. right now they were in the woods. a cloud of thick smoke filled the air and Etzumi's heart was racing. She was alone but she could hear the sound of class A and B distressed around her the occasional scream echoing into the night.  

"No, no, no, no" she muttered as she ran, she needed to find Izuku or Aizawa. She knew what was happening, it's not exactly her first encounter with villains. As the fog grew thicker around her she used the quirk to levitate herself up slightly not taking chances to know if it was gas or not.

her head was spinning and her hands were shaking but she couldn't stop, she wouldn't stop, she needs to get out of here, its all too much for her. There was an excruciatingly loud scream that the wind seemed to carry to her ears and suddenly she was on her bedroom floor again, the scream of her mother's final breath reaching her ears, she wanted to scream, yell, run but she couldn't. Her feet just carried her on the path she took that night, hot tears streamed down her face as she watched her sister lose consciousness all over again she tried closing her eyes but nothing worked she still had to witness it all over again.

in an instant she was by her sister's side holding down tightly on her chest wound screaming Asuka's name over and over again, that's when another girl rushed in, a small translucent girl bundled in her arms. The next thing Etzumi saw was the officers arriving. "Etzumi.." a voice echoed, a voice that didn't belong in this memory, what was going on.

"Konishi" the voiced called again though Etzumi barely noticed it, focused fully on her injured sister.

Aizawa, also known as Eraserhead, ran through the forest seeking out the remaining students of class 1-A, he was yet to find Midoriya, Bakugo, Jiro, and Konishi. everyone else, injured or not, we're back at base camp. That's when he came upon Konishi after finding Jiro - she was knelt on the floor in a crater of destruction gripping her head as she screamed out into the night, tress and rocks exploding as Etzumi's grip on reality weakened causing her control over her quirk to go with it.

Jiro just stood on the treeline in shock staring at her classmate as Mr. Aizawa used his own quirk to subdue the girl's outburst, after succeeding he acted quickly to ensure to get back to his class, he picked up the girl his breath hitching as he felt how badly she was shaking, he was worried for his student. It soon became apparent what was happening to Etzumi and this only made Aizawa's need to get back to camp to increase tenfold.

His student was having a panic attack, her breaths quick and shaken, her body quaking and sweating. the situation took her back to the night she lost everything. He sent Jiro off ahead now they were close to camp and sat in a nearby clearing cradling his student. "Etzumi.." his voice was level as he tried not the lose his composure "Konishi, it's okay breath, everything will be okay" he comforted her in a hushed voice. Her vision cleared and the memory that just played out seeped back to the back of her mind and she focused on Aizawa's voice following his instructions.

"Hey...Hey look at me, you're okay. this time is different okay..." His voice was calm and it caused her heart to slow and breathing to regulate she focused on him, she was grateful he was her teacher because he helped her grow as a person. her head was spinning the memory fresh in her mind, her heart raced again when an explosion went off somewhere in the distance.

"No.No.No.No" She clutched her chest, it was tightening and she was finding it hard to breathe, her body felt on edge as a numbing sensation spread across her limbs and senses like wildfire spreading in dry heat. Aizawa held the girl close knowing that if he took her back to camp she'd only get further overwhelmed. "Konishi...Konishi" he tried getting her attention but her eyes glossed over as she thrashed around, her right hand scratching roughly at her left arm.

That should have been a red flag for Aizawa, that should have told him something more was going off, but it didn't - he was too worried over helping her calm down that all he did was gently pull her hand away to make her stop before continuing talking to her in a hushed voice. She turned and latched onto Aizawa in a hug type way he could feel her energy drain as the panic attack calmed and her body loosened up.

"Hey, Konishi...I know...I know it hurts... I know it's hard but you have to stay awake for me okay" He gave her a small smile as she lazily nodded - he propped her up against him and the two of them went back to the camp so Etzumi could rest up her body from the experience she just suffered through.

--------------------

Initial Plan

- Flashback to the events of the villain attack on her family.
- Kiko and Riko at her side crying, Asuka on the floor, barely conscious, massive head trauma and wounds to her abdomen.
- This flashback happens when they are being attacked by villains at camp. Aizawa is the one to help her as she has a panic attack from the situation. her quirk going out of control as she clutches her head screaming.

Entire Inspiration

"I know it hurts, but you have to stay awake..."
