At the hospital, I sat near Y/N's bed staring at her resting face. She looked peaceful. Her gentle features made me feel at peace. Her chest rose and fell rhythmically. Her hair rested on the pillow perfectly. How can a human being be so pretty while sleeping.
Y/N: "No... p-p-please don't hurt them."
Hawks: "Kid?"
A frown adorns her soft lips and her face contorts in pain. Her forehead begins to sweat and her body starts shaking. Her breath becomes panicked. I reach out and place my hands on hers
Hawks: "Y/N hey your ok wake up. You are safe. Everyone is safe!"
She continues to shake and spill words that make no sense. I reach up and place my hand on her cheek. She jumps and goes quiet. Then she melts into my touch. Her shaking slowly ceases and her breathing slows. She slips into peaceful slumber once again.

I wake up in a hospital room. The antibiotic smell gave me a headache along with the bright lights. I turn my head and see Hawks asleep in the chair nearby. He looked so uncomfortable. His head was tilted at a very steep angle and his legs are curled to his chest. His wings cramped behind his body. I crawl out of the bed and walk up to him.
Y/N: "Hawks, are you uncomfortable. Wake up!"
Hawks squirms slightly.
Y/N: "Hawks?"
I reach out my hand and touch his wings. Big mistake.
Hawks: "AHHHH"
Hawks feathers fly all throughout the room and hawks turns red as a tomato.
Y/N: "I'm sorry i didn't mean to startle you."
Hawks: "It's fine. My wings are very sensitive. Hahaha. Anyway, glad to see you are awake. How are you feeling?"
Y/N: "Have a little bit of a headache but overall just fine. How long was I out?"
Hawks: "A day. The doctors said you over worked your brain so you passed out and your body needed to reboot."
Y/N: "Omg reboot. What am I, a computer. Anyway how is John?"
Hawks: "Haha very funny, but John is still unconscious. He seems ok just overloaded like you. We shall see if he wakes up. We called his family and they are keeping and eye on him."
Y/N: "Thats good to hear. I hope he ends up ok."
Hawks: "So ummm, what the hell happened?"
I explain everything that happened with John and nightmare making an appearance. I went into detail about what happened when I used my quirk on John. Hawks sat and listened intently. After I explained everything I could remember, Hawks sits in silence thinking over all the information I gave him.
Hawks: "I can't believe Nightmare came to you and you are immune to her quirk. That opens up so many possibilities. And don't even get me started on the fact that you may be able to reverse the affects of her quirk. This is amazing. Y/N you can save a lot of people."
I blush and a small smile creeps onto my face. I am scared out of my wits, but to hear Hawks have so much hope in me gives me a lot of confidence.
Y/N: "Speaking of, is there anyway we can visit other victims. After helping John, I think I know how to reverse her quirk without passing out."
Hawks: "I would hope so. If the doctor lets you go, we can go today."
We sit and chat in my hospital for a few more hours when the doctor finally comes in and let's me go. Hawks, being nice to me, calls a taxi and we drive to a local mental institution where Nightmare victims are being treated. The place was very nice. Whenever I think of mental institutions, I think of horror movies and asylums. We walk in and the people at the front desk welcome us in.
Nurse: "We are so glad you came, there are so many people here who need you help miss. I am so happy you may be able to heal them."
Y/N: "Thank you. I am very happy I can help. Who shall I see first."
Nurse: "Well, before we introduce you to the Nightmare victims, would you mind helping one of our regular patients. She suffers from sever sever Schizophrenia. Shes lived in this hospital for 5 years and she is only 14.
Hawks: "Can you heal things like that?"
Y/N: "I can actually. It takes sometime depending on the illness and how severe it is, but I am able to heal mental ailments. What is her name?"
Nurse: "Her name is Arabella. Bella for short. She is right in here. Would you like me to come in with you?"
Y/N: "You can come in and introduce me, so she isn't alarmed but afterward I'd like to just be by myself with her, which means Hawks, do you mind sitting in the hall and waiting for me?"
Hawks: "Of course! I don't want to distract you. I am quite a distraction!"
I roll my eyes. The nurse knocks on the door and asks if we may come in.
Nurse: "Good afternoon Bella, how are you doing today?"
The girl in the room was very petite. She was sitting at a desk drawing pictures of landscapes. She had short brown curly hair. When she turned to face us, I saw she had beautiful blue eyes and a freckled face. She quickly stands and bows in greeting.
Bella: "Hello miss nurse. Who has come to visit me today?"
Y/N: "Hello Bella! My name is Y/N. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Bella: "It is nice to meet you as well."
Nurse: "She has come here to help you. We believe she can cure you if your nightmares."
I see Bella's eyes light up!
Bella: "Really!!! Can you really heal me miss. Can you make the nightmares go away?!"
Y/N: "Yes Bella, I can."
I gesture my hand to the bad and we both sit down.
Nurse: "I will leave you two to it."
Y/N: "Thank you. I will come get you when we are all done."
The nurse walks out of the room and I turn to face Bella.
Bella: "Miss, will it hurt?"
Y/N: "No it will not hurt. All I'm going to do is take you hand and slowly take away your nightmares."
When it comes to healing people, there is a catch when it comes to my quirk. In order to heal the illness, I have to experience it for myself and overcome the illness. So, when I heal Bella, I will have to experience her nightmares.
Y/N: "May I take you hand?"
Bella places her hand in mine.
Y/N: "Are you ready?"
She nods her head and we both close our eyes.

The hallway was quiet. I hate the quiet. It's one of my biggest pet peeves. One of the main reasons I finally got a sidekick was to minimize the quiet and even though it's only be a couple days, it really has been a lot more fun. The nurse comes back into the hall and sits beside me.
Nurse: "She really is a sweet person."
Hawks: "Yes she is. I love having her around."
Nurse: "From the way you have been looking her, I can tell you seem to like her quite a bit."
Hawks: "Whaaaaaaaat? Yea she is super nice, very attractive, and totally my type but I don't like her."
The nurse rolls her eyes at my sarcasm.
Nurse: "How long have you been working with her?"
Hawks: "A couple days."
Nurse: "it's amazing how fast people fall for others isn't it. My husband says he loved me the day he met me."
Hawks: "Really? How long did it take you to fall in love."
Nurse: "I always played hard to get but I liked him about a week after meeting him. He was quite the flirt."
I contemplate that. If she fell in love with me, could we have a future together. I usually don't  like being in a relationship, but I feel different about Y/N. I could spend the rest of my life with her and be complete.

Y/N pov
Bellas mind was full to the brim with fear. Constant fear of visions that haunted her everyday life. I calmed her fears and gave her hope and happiness. I searched her mind for the source of the visions. When moving through this mind landscape, it's not like I can see anything, it's more like I feel things. I float along through feelings searching for whatever I'm sent to find, and in this case it's a parasite. Mental illnesses are often called parasites within the brain. When I find the parasite, I face it like a final boss in a game. When I defeat whatever challenge they set. The person is free of whatever illness they have been suffering from. While floating around, I finally feel the parasites presence. I float toward the disturbance and feel something big. This poor innocent child has dealt with this parasite her entire life. She deserves to be free from it, and so, I begin the challenge.
My scene changes. I can see now and I take a look around me. I am in the hospital room that Bella and I are currently in. I look down and see I am in Bella's body. Her slim skinny body is curled in a ball on the bed. I look in front of me. A man stands there. Nothing really stands out about him.
Man: "Bella, what are you doing in here. No matter where you go, I will always find you."
Bella: "Please leave me alone. I haven't done anything wrong!"
Man: "Bella, don't lie to me."
The mans body changed. He turned into a Smokey mist. The mist came towards me and started to surround me. I couldn't breath. I struggled to take in oxygen. Then I realized. It's a vision. It's can't hurt me. I closed my eyes and imagined the room as it was. Empty. The only living thing in this room was me. I wasn't surrounded in a suffocating mist and just like that, I could breath. I opened my eyes and there was nothing. A smile comes to my face. I won.
I remove my hand from Bella and open my eyes. She was asleep on the bed beside me. I forget how exhausting it is for the other person involved. At least she is now free from her monsters. I put her hair behind her ear and tuck her in. I stand and leave the room. When I walk out, I see Hawks and the Nurse were chatting.
Hawks: "Hey you finally made it!"
Y/N: "How long was I in there?"
Nurse: "Just over an hour."
Y/N: "Wow that's shocking."
Hawks: "I'm just glad your finally back. I was getting sooooooo bored and my beautiful butt started hurting."
I roll my eyes.
Y/N: "I apologize old man. I should have kept in mind that your old body can't handle sitting for long periods of time."
Hawks: "Hey I'm not old!!!!"
I chuckle.
Nurse: "How is she?"
Y/N: "She is asleep, but she is cured. She might sleep for the rest of today and wake tomorrow, so let her rest."
Nurse: "Of course. Now do you think you still want to see Nightmare victims?"
Y/N: "I can meet a couple. Healing them shouldn't take as much time since there conditions are from a quirk."
Hawks: "Thank god!! I couldn't sit for another few hours. I would die."
I roll my eyes once again and just like that I'm off to work.
