Chapter 24: The End Of An Era

(Y/N) POV

I had tore up my shirt in order to make some makeshift bandages for my head which I hide with my beanie, and as long as I keep my hand in smoke form I won't bleed everywhere. It's not a good solution, but it'll work for now. After all, i don't want to appear too suspicious in this crowd of people with everything that's going on. Still...

(Y/N): "Hey, can one of you explain why you all have such goofy outfits on?"

Izumi: "Goofy?!"

Kirishima: "Yaoyorozu wanted to go shopping and said it was for disguises."

(Y/N): "I'm somehow not surprised. Sorry about having to lean on you Iida."

Iida: "It's alright."

It's kinda hard to walk when you had basically no time to recover from back to back heavy blood loss.

I hate that they have to see me so weak, but I can't really talk right now. Someone has it a helluva lot worse than me right now. That someone being All Might.

He was pushed so far that his body gave out, and now...Well, Now the truth about what he is is clear to the world. A frail, skeletal man...but what does that matter? Doesn't change who he is. He's just a little skinnier, that's all.

Even when the other pro heroes tried to help him out, they were just blown away like leaves in a hurricane against the power of All For One...I hate that guy.

But still, even with such an immeasurably powerful foe in his way, All Might is still the number one hero. He's one of the greatest heroes of all time, if not the greatest. And that hero...

Has fought his last battle.

He may have stood triumphant, but His final words to the camera cemented what I knew to be true.

All Might: "Now, It's your turn."

The people thought it to be a message to the villains of the world, that they're next on his hit list, that the symbol of peace endured.

Both me, and by the tears Izumi is shedding I can safely and sadly assume she, knows that isn't the case.

"I've used up everything I've got. Now, it's up to you.". That's what we heard, Me and Izumi. I've seen this kind of thing before, with Cole...But All Mights story doesn't have as optimal an ending as that. He's done, And now he's telling someone that they need to carry the torch from here.

But as a silent tear fell from my face while the crowds cheered, Things began to start to move within my mind. Memories played of past events, things Izumi has told me, things I have overheard, things I have learned, and things I found...suspicious.

However now is not the time for confrontation. Now is the time for recovery and adjustment.

The world has just lost its symbol of peace.

The hospitals were all very packed, but thankfully my injures weren't anything that the smoke from a blown up car couldn't at least mend. I didn't blow the car up myself, I just found it that way. Still, I needed to clean and bandage my hand when I got home.

When I did get home, I was greeted by Midnight hugging me tightly. Normally I just push her off, or turn into smoke, but this time I just returned the hug and...I broke down. I had just gone through one of the most terrifying and stressful situations I've ever been in, I was sore, and I was...i was just tired. I just wanted somewhere quiet to be. Midnight realized this and i can assume she was also pretty shook by the events of tonight. Everyone everywhere was. We had just spent that night not talking, but taking comfort in each other's presence.
