Izuku's POV

I woke up to the feeling of movement. Which is weird because I was ASLEEP. 

I kept my eyes closed for a little longer. They just felt so heavy. 

When I breathed in I picked up on a familiar scent. I felt comforted. Shaving cream and coffee, an oddly well paired smell. I felt myself relax more into the person's arms. I assume I was being carried from the repetitive pattern of ups and downs.

 "So you finally woke up?" a deep voice pierced through the darkness and I opened my eyes in surprise. I immediately regretted this because it sealed my fate of being awake. I still felt like crap, not at all refreshed.

 I lifted my face and locked eyes with a familiar pair of red ones. It was the general. I assumed Ururaka quickly figured out she was incapable of lifting me and asked for help. But the GENERAL?! This is super awkward. I turned my head to the floor embarrassed. I wanted to shift but he was already carrying me, I wasn't going to cause more problems. 

"Are you uncomfortable?" my thoughts paused. Damn am I really that see through?

 "Go ahead and shift a little if you need. We are still 5 minutes away" from what? I wanted to ask, but I kept quiet. 

"I thought I told you to respond when I talked to you."

 "o-oh. Yes sir..." I shifted a little so that I was more tilted upwards. Up until now he had been holding me bridal style. Now it was more like 'large toddler style'. Not much better, but I can only shit so much in the position I am currently in.

 "we are heading to the castle bathing rooms to get you cleaned up. You have been asleep for half an hour." that just about answered all my questions. I guess I really am that readable. 

I felt the man's gait slow as we neared a glass and bronze double door. It was beautiful. The materials twirled like fire and ice. The glass was fogged up slightly, showing face to the presumed humidity inside. I already knew they had hot water, but it was still a surprise to see the proof of it. 

The general set me down slowly. I wobbled a little as I left his arms. He waited patiently as I regained my footing. When I was standing tall, he moved to open the doors. They swung open in one quick motion, and stopped before they hit the walls. Speaking of walls, the room was covered head to foot with mirrors. The only clear wall space was the door wall.

 The floor was separated into 4 differently shaped pits level with the ground and coated with concrete. Filled to the brim with steaming clear water. 

One tub already had someone bathing in it. The one closest to the door on the right. A beautiful lady with gorgeous long green hair. Like mine, but it only had one shade of green. Her tub was oval shaped with a mock rock shore semi-circle surrounding it. She was covered in suds and her water was misty with soapy residue.

 When caught her eye, she smiled and then pointed to the tub diagonal from her. 

"That's the tub Ochacco is preparing for you." she was right. When I looked over at the tub, bottles of different oils and soaps lined the edge. This tub was a long thin rectangle. It fit my build perfectly leaving just enough room to stretch out and relax. I was so busy taking in the room I didn't even notice the brown haired beta herself crouching next to the tub.

 I looked back at the general only to see he had already left. Probably for privacy. The doors were shut tight behind me. I contemplated making a run for it, when I smelt the guards outside. I dismissed the idea and hesitantly approached Uraraka. 

When I was about a foot away from her I reached down and brushed her shoulder. She whipped her head up, about to screech, when she saw it was just me. She was about to relax in relief when I noticed her placement.
