I Need You To Remember

3rd Person POV

"Midoryia, you recognize him?" Aizawa asked, his eyes widened in confusion as he looked down at the kid.

"I...I don't know. I know his name but I don't know how." Midoryia answered, tilting his head towards the purple-haired teen. Shinso approached him and knelt down in front of him.

"So the rumors really are true. I didn't expect him to be so small." Shinso said, scanning Midoryia petite body.

"I'm not that small! Why does everyone keep saying that?" Midoryia pouted, his small cheeks once again pudding up.

"So...you really don't remember anything?"

"What do you mean? Did I forget something?"

Shinso looked up at Aizawa. "Are you sure pushing this matter won't cause more harm than good? Maybe we should just let this thing run it's course."

Aizawa shook his head. "Recovery Girl said the fastest way for him to recover is to unlock the memories from his mind."

Shinso nodded as he looked back at the boy. Midoryia was giving them a confused look.

"Midoryia, do you know about the UA Sports Festival?"

"Yeah! I watch it on the TV with my mom!"

"Well, do you remember participating in it?"

"W-wha?" Midoryia's brows furrowed into a frown as he tilted his head. "I'm not old enough to do that."

"Yes, you are. You're 15."

"Um, no I'm 4."

"A 4-year old has this well of a vocabulary?"

"My mom says I'm advanced for my age!"

"Midoryia, you fought against me, remember?"

"I didn't develop my quirk until a week ago, there's no way."

"Oh yeah? Then what explains this?" Shinso pulled out his phone and played the live video of the Sports Festival that showed the duo's match. Midoryia looked at the screen as his mind was reeling, trying to understand

"Th-that's not me."

"That is you. Remember, you were the one blessed with the flashy quirk."

"B-but..." Midoryia's eyes swept back and forth along the floor as he tried to prices what he was being told.

"If that's me, then what happened?"

"I can't tell you that right now. What I need you to do though, is to remember. Do you remember anything at all? Anything new?"

"I..I..." Suddenly the boy's eyes widened as he looked up at him. "I remember breaking control from your quirk."

"Good, what else."

"I... I remember facing against Todo, but he's different than he is now. He used to be...sad."

"You're doing great Midoryia. Anything else?"

"There was one more thing I remembered about our match."

"What is it?"

The events unfolded before him as his mind played back what had happened before he has broken free from Shinso's control. He remembered the shadows at the base of the entrance to the arena. He remembered what they meant.

"Before I broke free from your control, I remember seeing-" Midoryia clenched his hands against his head as he fell to his knees. "Aghh!" His voice cracked as he squeezed his eyes shut.

"Midoryia? What's wrong?"

"M-My head! It hurts!" Tears began to form in his eyes. Shinso used this chance to take over Midoryia's mind once he responded back. Midoryia's eyes opened back up and his arms fell from his head and to his side.

"Sleep."

The boy fell over and into Shinso's arms as his eyes fell closed once again as he slipped into slumber.

"Thank you Shinso." Aizawa said, putting a hand on his shoulder. Shinso held Midoryia close to him as he lifted him up.

"How much longer does he have to go through this?"

"A minimum of 2 more weeks at this point." He looked down to the boy in Shinso's arms. "Is he still in pain?"

"My quirk basically numbs the user's body so he doesn't feel a thing."

"That's a relief. Thank you for your help, it was much appreciated."

"It was no problem. Besides, I couldn't just sit around knowing Midoryia was going through this if I could do something to help." He laid the boy down inside of Aizawa's sleeping bag, sipping it up slightly, just high enough the reach the boy's chest.

"I should probably get to my next class." Shinso said, looking up at Aizawa.

"Of course. Let your teacher know that you were helping me with something."

"Will do." Shinso turned to leave. He reached the door before turning back to look at the sleeping child.

"Bye Midoryia."
