I'm no hero [Various BNHA x Reader]

Chapter 23

[Y/N]'s POV:

"I got my test results back," Iida began, I looked down at his arms, both were in casts. I stiffened, and Todoroki squeezed my knee again. "My left hand... might have damage that's permanent."

"What?!" Midoriiya exclaimed, "Permanent?"

"Both my arms were pretty torn up, but the injury to my left arm was especially severe. The damage was to my brachial plexus, which just means... I'll have trouble moving my fingers, and my hand might have some numbness. Apparently, there's a chance it could be healed with nerve transplant surgery." Iida looked down at his lap shamefully before continuing, "When I came across the Hero Killer, I stopped thinking rationally. The first thing I should've done was call Manual, but I got lost in my own anger. I hate him so much, but I can't deny he spoke the truth. That's why... until I'm able to call myself a real hero, like you [Y/N], I'll leave my left hand as it is." I inhaled sharply,

"Are you sure?" I asked, Iida looked over at me and nodded.

"Iida," Midoriya said, "I feel the same way. Let's get stronger, together." Amidst this heartfelt, serious moment, I saw Todoroki's face twist into the most hilarious expression I had ever seen.

"I fell... kinda bad," he said softly.

"About what?" I chuckled, "You didn't do anything wrong."

"Whenever I'm involved, someone's hand gets all messed up. Is something wrong with me?" he asked, his voice completely serious. "Am I cursed?" We all looked at him before bursting out in laughter.

"That's hilarious Todoroki!" I hollered as I clutched my sides.

"I wasn't joking... maybe I'm the hand crusher or something!" he said, which only served to make us laugh even harder.

[Y/N]'s POV:

After staying in bed for about another hour, simply conversing with Todoroki, Iida, and Midoriya, the door swung open once more.

"I AM HERE!" my dad cried as he entered the room in muscle form. I facepalmed as Midoriya twinkled, Iida bowed, and Todoroki's face lit up.

"Hey, dad, what brings you here this lovely evening?" I said, my voice dripping with sarcasm. The hero laughed and put his fists on his hips.

"TO SEE MY DEAR DAUGHTER OF COURSE!" I rubbed my temples and sighed,

"Can you please stop shouting? Your ear daughter is recovering from serious injuries here."

"[Y/N]!" Iida yelled as he chopped his hand through the air robotically, "You must treat your father, the number one hero, with respect!" he cried. All Might laughed,

"It's alright, this is simple father-daughter banter!" he said, his volume considerably lower, "Anyway, I need to talk to you [Y/N], can I talk to privately for a moment?" he asked. I nodded and slid into the wheelchair that was beside my bed. I winced as my back hit the wheelchair, causing pain to suddenly course through me. My father quickly rushed over and asked if I was alright, I nodded through gritted teeth and he pushed me out of the room.

After we were alone in an empty room a couple of doors down, he sighed and his muscle form dissolved. He sat down on one of the vacant beds.

"What's up?" I asked, tilting my head to the side. He sighed and rested his head in his hands.

"There are several things we need to talk about. One is about the credit for this, I would prefer it if you requested to remain anonymous in the press release. Though I do think you deserve the credit over Endeavor, I don't want your identity to get out just yet, for your sake and mine. I don't want any rumors spreading that may impede your chances of achieving your dreams." I nodded,
