A Mutant's Hero Academia [BNHA & X-men Crossover]

EIGHT

"What the hell happened here?" A passerby asked as he looked around the closed off street. A couple of ambulances were stationed near a truck and a car, the smaller of the two vehicles seemingly fine, while the truck's fender and bumper were wrecked.

Yumi's ears picked up on the people's chatter despite the bustling traffic. Her shoulders slouched as she sat inside one of the ambulances.

"A car crash?"

"It's a miracle no one was hurt.."

"I heard it was someone's quirk."

Green eyes turned dull as she recalled the last car crash she was involved in as Jean Grey. How she had been unharmed, and how people spoke about her as if she was a freak of nature.

"She doesn't have a scratch on her. No internal injuries."

"And you're sure she was in the car?"

Jean had been only eight years old at the time and she'd lost both of her parents due to her uncontrolled powers. She could vividly remember how confused and frightened she was. How she 'miraculously' emerged safe and sound. She knew now why that was. It was all because she'd subconsciously protected herself with a shield of psychokinetic energy after she'd unintentionally flipped the car over. But now the fifteen year old Yumi was able to save her family with the power she oh-so loathed and repressed for so many years.

It was a lot to take in.

"Do you feel nauseous or lightheaded?" The medic asked as he passed by the light torch in front of Yumi's pupil, letting out a satisfied hum when it reacted normally. She shook her head.

"I told you, I'm fine." Yumi released a huff, her green eyes traveling to Akito and Chiharu. The former had caught her gaze and out of reflex, Yumi averted away.

"You should focus on my parents and that truck driver, they were in the crash zone." She mumbled. Her mind replaying her display of hidden powers and how surprised her parents were. They were preoccupied at first to take notice of what the hell had happened, how they -against all odds- came out unharmed. But once they calmed down and got out of the car, Yumi could tell that her father knew it was her doing.

The redhead's mind was clouded by her anxious thoughts, but she was soon dragged out when the male medic spoke. "Well, you're good to go. But I suggest you take a couple of days of rest."

With a slight tilt of her head to the side, she gave her reply. "I have school tomorrow."

"A few days wouldn't hurt." The man said with a friendly smile before heading out.

And as told, Yumi had taken a couple of days off from school. Which had been a good choice. Physically, she hadn't needed it, but mentally.. She was a mess.

After releasing a fraction of the power she'd suppressed for so long, Yumi had been nothing but restless. Even if she had used it to save the lives of her parents. It was just too much for her to handle.

Although the days she had missed from school weren't able to remedy her internal confliction, they successfully brought peace of mind to Akito and Chiharu since the ominous villain attack at 'USJ' had apparently taken place in her absence.

It had happened the day after Yumi's car accident. And after she came back to school, she was a bit taken aback at her classmates' never-ending gossip about the incident. Fortunately, no student was harmed, while two Pro Heroes/teachers had been injured.

Ochako had told her everything, a bit teary-eyed as she explained what happened. She couldn't articulate how scary the situation was for her and the rest of class 1-A, and then started gushing about All Might's amazing showdown.
