Time Stamp: Shoto x Reader

Finish Line

As soon as I blacked out it felt like I was floating in air... or maybe space would be a more accurate term. It wasn't until later that I managed to get any of my senses back. "Well, I can say one thing for certain. Young Bakugou was correct. She was having a panic attack, one that seems to have activated her ability. Even with the limiters working, it wouldn't have stopped her ability from activating in the way it did. All they did in the end is take her out of commission. As soon as she lost consciousness, her ability stopped as well."

Recovery Girl... but... why was I here? I don't even know where I am. I thought I was listening to Todoroki and Midoriya talk at the exit of the dome. What happened after that? "So the only reason we were even able to get her here was because of the limiters knocking her out? Scary, but that means it could potentially go on for an unknown period of time. That poses a problem, perhaps we should ask her if this has happened before?"

Principle? "And what are you going to do if she doesn't remember the event? It's entirely possible that she has completely forgotten what happened because of her Quirk's backlash effect. How are you going to explain that to her?" Eraser Head? What is going on?

To that there was a long sigh. "For now, we need information. I will take her to the stadium after we talk, Aizawa, you and the other heroes should head out. We already pushed the festival back an hour to deal with this." Opening my eyes, I decide to sit up and look at my surroundings. "Let Recovery Girl the Principle, and myself deal with this. Present Mic, if you could tell Bakugou that she's fine now, that would be great too."

The room I was in... wasn't the office with the sofa. It wasn't the isolation room or nurses office either. So I was probably still at the stadium. "A waiting room? What am I doing here?" Shifting my legs, my feet touched the floor. "Principle?" I let my head lift, my hand slowly falling away to touch the cushion of the bed I was resting on.

The tree remaining heroes in the room turned to me. "Ah, finally awake. How are you feeling? Dizzy? Lightheaded?" To that I shook my head, honestly, I was just confused. If I had to guess, my facial expression said it all. "You created a time loop by accident. Care to explain how that happened and how to stop it?"

A frown formed on my lips. "Time loop? What did Kai call that again... It's so foggy... I... I think there was a serum he made... though it was hard to inject me with it. I think... I think it was just something to make me sleep, but I don't know how long it can last. The first time it happened... he had to hit me to knock me out."

Was that right? Kai... where are you when I need you the most? "Interesting... if the only way to stop it is to knock you out then maybe we should change the restraining collar. Perhaps one that uses a similar sleeping medication, one that doesn't make you sleep. Just drowsy, I think I know which one would work."

I watched the mammalian principle nod. "Even if we were to get something like that made it would still take a few days to get delivered and changed out. In anycase, you're awake, why don't you go ahead and make your way to the commentary box. Aizawa is waiting for you." Giving a small nod, I stood on shaky legs, but I was just going to need to walk it off.

As I wandered down the halls I heard some talking, there was also the slight sound of blazing flames. "You're acting disgracefully, Shoto." Shoto... wait Todorki? Does that mean... "If you used the power in your left side, you would've had an overwhelming victory in the obstacle course and the cavalry battle. Stop this childish rebellion already. You have a duty to surpass All Might." I can't just stand here and say nothing... but if I just go out there and say my mind... then what? "Do you understand? You're different from your siblings. You are the greatest masterpiece!" That's it, I've had it with this guy.

Jogging around the corner I ran over to Todoroki. "Todoroki!!! Hey, mind if I walk with you for a bit. Hehe, I just woke up from my... nap so to speak if you catch my drift. Something happened earlier and you know how these restraints work." I sent a silent glare to his dad, the guy was huge... and on fire. Quite literally, what's with the flaming facial hair?
