I laid on my hospital bed curled into a ball, hugging myself.

"Y/n?" I heard from behind me. I didn't turn to see who it was, cause they came around the end of my bed anyway. Kiri walked up to me and sat down in the chair and pulled it as close as he could to the bed. He laid his head down in his arm and got to my level. "How are you doing?" He asked me and he pet my hair.

"Horrible." I said. And I felt a tear roll down my nose. I sniffed and tried not to start crying again.

"Shhh." Kiri whispered to me and wiped the tear off my face. "What did your parents say?"

"They're not coming to see me." I said. "They said I failed them."

"What?" Kiri asked and jumped.

"Well they didn't say that exactly." I admitted. "But they don't want me to move back in with them."

"Where are you supposed to go before you can get back to normal?" Kiri asked me and laid his head back down.

"Kiri, I'm not going to go back to normal." I said. "My wings, were everything. Without them, I don't have a quirk. I can't attend UA anymore."

"That's bullshit!" Kiri said, getting upset. "They can't do that. Your wings will grow back, right?"

"No." I said and Kiri's face dropped. "Maybe, if I still had the bases. Maybe they would have grown back, but . . . . . they're gone." 

"Where are you going to go then?" He asked. "If you can't go home?"

"My aunt said she'll take me in." I said. "She was disowned by my family, because she never got a quirk. I always stayed in contact with her because she was the only one who didn't compare me to anything. She let me be me. So she told me I can go live with her in America."

"America?" A voice suddenly outburst from over by the door. I uncurled myself and turned to see Hawks had come into the room. "You can't go to America!"

"Why not?" I asked him.

"Because you belong here!" He told me. "You belong at UA! You-!"

"Not anymore!" I yelled at him. "My wings, are gone! My quirk, is gone! I devoted my life to become a hero, because that's what everyone wanted! And now that I'm nothing, nobody wants me!"

"That's not true." Hawks told me and went to keep talking, but I stopped him.

"Just get out." I told him. Both of them.

"Y/n." Kiri said and tried to touch me.

"Don't touch me." I told him and pointed to the door. "Please, just leave." Without saying anything else they both left.

"Hey baby carrot." I heard from behind me as I pulled my sweatshirt over my head. I turned and saw Miruko. "You ready to go?" 

"He's not here too, is he?" I asked her, and she petted my hair. I refused to see Hawks in the past couple of days. He kept insisting to see me, and it got to the point that security had to get involved. 

"No." She told me. "He really wants to see you though."

"Well I don't want to see him." I said and we walked to the elevator. Because I was refusing to see Hawks, Miruko had offered to take me home when I got discharged.

"Why?" She asked me once we were in the elevator alone. "Do you blame him for this?"

"No!" I blurted out. "It's not his fault. But . . . . I hate seeing the look on his face when he looks at me."

"What look?" She asked.

"Like he's looking at a wounded animal." I told her. 

"Worried?" Miruko asked me, and made me look at her. "Sweetie, you don't understand how much you mean to him. And in a split second, he's lost you."

"Well I've lost me too." I told her, and walked out of the elevator. Away from her by a couple of steps, that I didn't think it was a big deal until I stepped outside and was instantly surrounded by reporters shoving microphones in my face, and asking me so many questions I couldn't think.

"Y/n!" I heard Miruko yell somewhere passed the reporters, but I couldn't find her. I closed my eyes and covered my ears. But suddenly everything went quieter. I opened my eyes to see darkness.

"Are you okay?" Hawks asked, and held me to his chest. He jumped into the crowd and wrapped us up in his wings. Separating us from all the questioning reporters. I hugged him, and he held me a bit tighter.

"Take me home." I begged him. He put his arms under mine and I wrapped my arms around his neck. Light appeared along with the noise again, before it faded as Hawks launched off the ground. I looked up at the sky and felt the wind in my hair again. I closed my eyes and let myself remember this.

We landed at UA and Hawks set me down, but I didn't let him go. I didn't want to have to let him go. But I had to.

I pulled away from him and without looking at him again, or saying another word, I walked away from him. And he didn't come after me either.

I walked into the dorm building, and went up to my room's floor. When I got there, everyone from my class was there hanging out in the small commons area. 

"Y/n." I heard Kiri say and when I looked over at him, everyone was looking at me. I didn't say anything and walked to my room. I closed my bedroom door and looked around my room. A box sat on my bed with a big pretty bow. I walked over to it and pulled the top off, and moved the tissue paper around until I pulled out a black jacket with matching pants, that had the shoes built into it.

It was my hero outfit. It had finally gotten finished.

My Hero name was going to be Blue Jay. But not anymore.

I hugged it to my chest and walked over to my nest chair and sat down holding onto it. I looked outside and watched as my vision became blurry, and I blinked until the tears fell. And I buried my face in what would have been my hero outfit.
