My Hero Academia: Overcoming Fear

Moving into the Dorms

Hikari

"Come on, All Might!" everyone started shouting. 

I shouted along with them. We were chanting the same thing over and over, with a few people throwing in different phrases from time to time like, "You can do it!" or "Beat that villain, All Might!"

Eventually, when my throat was sore and it hurt to shout, All Might landed the final blow and All for One laid, unconscious and unmoving, on the ground.

Later, when everything had calmed down, we finally managed to get through the crowds of people and meet up with Midoriya, Iida, Kirishima, and Bakugo. We decided that taking Bakugo to the police would be for the best, so that's what we did. By then, it was almost 10 0'clock in the morning.

The five of us went back to the hospital, where we grabbed our things and then went home. We were silent the entire time, not knowing what to say.

Eventually, I got home and went inside my house. Aku was rushing around the house, looking pale and scared.

"Aku-san?" I asked. "What's going on?"

He barely glanced at me. "Hikari, you won't believe who the police found after that huge fight. C'mon, we're going to the hospital."

"But, I just came from the hospital..." I said slowly, and he grabbed my hand, startling me.

"Hikari, they found mom," he said quietly, staring into my eyes.

***

I was in a daze the entire way to the hospital. That was impossible. Mother had died years ago. There was no way the police found her.

When we got to the hospital, we rushed up to the third floor and Aku basically broke the door down. 

We stepped in and I saw my father bent over the hospital bed, kissing a woman. I averted my gaze and muttered, "Whoa, Father."

He sat up, his face red. "Shut up, Hikari," he muttered.

"Mom?" Aku whispered. 

The woman slowly sat up, smiling and spreading her arms out. "There's my little boy. But you're a lot bigger now."

Aku just stared at her, his mouth open. 

The woman frowned a little. "I guess there's some explaining I should do."

Aku got over his shock, ran over, and hugged the woman. She laughed and ruffled his hair. 

"I missed you so much, Aku," she said. Then she glanced up and saw me. "And you must be my little Hikari, beautiful. You're so grown up."

My vision blurred a little bit. This was impossible. I was dreaming. Yeah, that was it. I was still on the subway, and I fell asleep. I pinched my arm, hard, but nothing changed.

"Hikari, come hug your mother," Whiteout said.

I slowly walked over and hugged my mother. She hugged me back. Then I pulled back and said, "I thought father killed you."

To my surprise, she burst out laughing. "Oh, he did. The other me."

When she saw my confused face, she just smiled and said, "Okay, let me explain, beautiful. The reason I would sneak out at night was because I was going to collage, trying to get a doctor's degree so I could make some money and provide just in case your father lost his job."

"That was a stupid idea," my father grumbled.

"Then, as I was going to class one night, a man came up to me and... abducted me. He tied me up at his house, then he measured me and made another one of me. The other me left, and the man fed me and took care of me for years, begging me to marry him, which I did not want to because his mind was sort of... split, I guess.
