hana sato

midoriya looked back at me flustered before looking forward. "sato! i almost forgot, i'm sorry." i roll my eyes and stand up in front of iida and native. 

"sato, can you keep him in one place?" todoroki asked me and i shook my head to myself. 

"i won't be able to with the energy i lost healing iida and native. i can still fight." he nods to me and midoriya begins to talk strategy as stain just stares at us. 

"i'll distract him and todoroki can support me from behind. sato, protect iida and native from the hero killer." i hum in response as i coat my arms in blood and crouch a little. 

"that's a pretty big risk, but yeah. the three of us will protect them!" i smirk and i retract as much blood as i can from todoroki's arm into his body and they jump into action as my blood-covered arms turn into my classic tentacle style. 

todoroki blasts ice from the ground and fire as support for midoriya's distractions as he jumped around the buildings. i acted merely as extra protection as i gathered my strength up again. if i can produce the tiniest bit of strength, i could restrain stain until the pros come.

i see midoriya's leg gets cut as a result of him coming too close. stains movements are different from before, as he was laxer then. he was now trying to avoid everything coming at him as if his life depended on it. todoroki yelled out, and i heard iida call from below me. 

"please stop... i'm already-" 

i could feel the frustrations and emotions in todoroki suddenly bubble up as he yelled at iida. 

"if you want us to stop, then stand up!" he yelled, throwing attacks to protect a now disabled midoriya. i looked back at iida for a split second through my peripheral. 

"if you want to stop him then you would be doing everything in your power into getting up.." i comment lightly as todoroki yells at iida to look properly at what he wants to become. i smirk, knowing that he got that from midoriya. i feel the movement of iida beginning to move his hand and a grin breaks out on my face.

burning blood fills my nostrils strongly. todoroki used his fire with his bleeding arm instead of using his ice, resulting in the wretched smell and i quickly put a barrier in front of todoroki, making sure he was left uninjured by an incoming attack.

in doing so, blood is left on his blade and it almost feels as if it's getting absorbed by the way i am unable to bring it back to me. bringing what blood i could, i feel numb suddenly and i fall to my knees. so this is what the feeling is? i'm a little underwhelmed, as i expected more to keep my friends down. i expected something like what i could do with full energy.

i quickly get my grip together, but not in time for me to be able to protect todoroki a second time. with my quirk subdued by stain's, i was unable to feel it as iida finally got up and kicked stain's sword away from todoroki. i smile. 

"took you long enough, iida!" i yell as he responds by apologizing for bringing us into this mess. my eyebrows furrow. 

"you're saying that again?" midoriya complains. 

"yea, we're already here," i say, gathering my strength up again from the attack that stain had on me. as soon as i'm strong enough, i'll get you back at your own game. 

stain says some philosophical things that i personally agree with about the world of heroes that make sense, iida defending him in his ideals. i don't support stain's quite literal executions. i notice a change in blood flow in stain as he jumps about and todoroki moves to protect a bleeding iida, which i rush to clean up and patch. 

native yells from behind me and i look back, assuring him with a smile. "i'm sorry, i know it's against the rules. but with my friends and even you in a life-threatening situation, we can't do anything else. please forgive us!" i say, before rushing to look back and assure my friends' health. 

a knife throw threatens todoroki as iida blindly plunges to block it with his arm which in turn allows him to get hit. i narrow my eyes with cries around me. another hits him and pins him down as he desperately tries to regulate his legs with todoroki's help. 

as soon as he pulls the knife from his arm, i move the blood back in and regulate his heart race. he can't work without being calm and collected anyway, it felt as if he was on the verge of becoming senile. with a quick nod of appreciation to me, he jumps in the air around the same time midoriya does and they, at the speed of light, hit stain with everything they have in them despite being injured. 

i shiver at the feeling of bones breaking and blood jostling about to signify internal bleeding coming from stain. his ribs were cracked, and i couldn't help but want to help his condition. sure he was a villain, but i'm sure he doesn't deserve this kind of punishment. 

they all keep pushing at him as he desperately tries to fight back, and my eyes sting with tears. the feeling of a body being hit without restraint and the stench of burnt blood flood my senses and i realize. 

i shouldn't have come in the first place. 

even so, as tears flood my eyes, i desperately gain back as much energy as i can to try and hold stain in place so as to not feel all these painful things happening to the man on the receiving end of this abuse. 

there's a standstill as stain falls into todoroki's ice and for a second i feel a skip in stain's heart. i regulate it as fast as i can as if i was doing cpr rapidly. even if this gives him energy, i can't let someone die like that. 

"t- todoroki, midoriya. p- please restrain him." i stutter out, mostly from the shock and from the tears currently rolling down my face. they nod mindlessly, not caring to look at me as i fall onto my knees once again. 

"m- miss?" i hear from behind me, native. although, i do not respond as i gather my breath and calm myself. it seems like my medication wore off when stain had taken control over my body for that split minute. after a minute, i shake my head to native. 

iida and todoroki restrain the hero killer, and although i am relieved, i am still scared of his condition. i want to scold the young boys, but i am unable to with how fast my heart is racing. all i can do is watch as i catch my breath.

i need a break.
