"Yeah!" Present Mic yelled. I was only a few feet from the mountain area exit when I heard the hero's voice.

"Present Mic!" I shouted. "Yamada-sensei!" My voice cracked from the tears that continued to fall. "Sensei!" I made it to the path but jumped back as the heroes began to fight the villains. I saw Present Mic run past. "Yamada-sensei!" Yamada stopped and turned to me.

"Wha-" his eyes widened when he saw his daughter. "Hiva..." I didn't think I'd ever hear his voice go that quiet. He ran up to me and took the girl from my arms. "Come with me to the exit." I nodded. As we were being evacuated from the USJ, I heard a siren and turned to see Hiva, Aizawa, and Thirteen on stretchers. Hiva was placed in one of the ambulances.

"Wait!" I ran over and grabbed the handle of the door. "Let me come." The man shook his head.

"Sorry kid," he told me. "You can't." I held onto the handle but he easily forced the door closed since my grip was weak. I watched the ambulance drive off and I wiped my eyes.

"Kaminari!" I turned and Present Mic ran up to me. "I need to get Hitoshi so we can go to the hospital."

"Okay...?" 'Why is he telling me this?' I wondered.

"Will you come?" he asked. I was going to say yes but then I saw Hiva's face. Her face was still and, even though she was breathing, she looked so pale, almost like a corpse. 'Not going in the ambulance was a good idea.' I thought as I shook my head to get the image away. "No? Are you sure? I'm sure she'll want to see you when she wakes up." I wanted to go, I really did but... I couldn't. Not now when she still looked like she was an inch away from death.

"I'll go after school," I told the hero. Yamada nodded his head and took a deep breath. "Do you really think she'll be okay?" Yamada quickly nodded.

"Of course," he said. "We don't have to worry."

"And Aizawa?" Yamada nodded.

"He'll be fine, too," he replied. "Those two are superhuman. They're not going anywhere anytime soon." Yamada put a hand on my shoulder and handed me Hiva's headphones. "I hope to see you later." Present Mic ran back to the school. 'Why does he want me there so badly?'

"...16, 17, 18, 19," the detective counted. "Other than the boy with both legs seriously injured and the girl that was shot, everyone else seems unharmed." The students around me began to talk but I stood alone. It didn't matter to me though. I didn't really want to talk. "Let's have the students return to their classroom for now. We won't be questioning them right away, anyway, right?"

"Detective, what about Aizawa-sensei?" Asui asked. The detective held up a recorder.

"Comminuted fractures were in both arms and a facial fracture. Fortunately, there does not seem to be any serious brain damage. However, his orbital floor has broken into small pieces, and his eyes may suffer from its after-effects," the recorded voice spoke.

"That's what he said," the detective told us.

"Kero..." Asui ribbit.

"No..." Mineta mumbled.

"What about Thirteen?" Ashido questioned.

"Thirteen has been treated. The laceration from the back to upper arm was bad, but Thirteen will survive. All Might will also survive Recovery Girl's healing is enough to treat him, so he's in the nurse's office," the detective said.

"Deku-kun...!" Uraraka exclaimed.

"What about Midoriya-kun?!" Iida questioned.

"Midori...? Oh, treatment in the nurse's office is enough for him, too," the detective told them.
