I walked into Eri's room, well more like rolled in on my wheelchair, and said, "Hey Eri."

Her eyes widened and she said, "Kage? You're alright?"

I nodded and gave her a soft smile. I rolled over and asked, "So how have you been?"

She looked down and said, "I'm okay... I'm sorry you got hurt..."

"Why are you apologizing? It's not your fault." I said.

"But it is. If you hadn't been protecting me then you wouldn't have gotten so hurt." she said, tears welling in her eyes.

My heart broke at this and I leaned forward, wrapping my arms around the frail girl. "I wanted to protect you. I don't mind getting hurt when it's to protect others, especially you. So it's fine. I don't mind at all, okay?"

She nodded and wiped her tears. I gave her a small smile and said, "I heard the students are taking you to the school festival next week, is that right?"

She nodded and said, "Deku and Lemillion said that they wanted to take me."

I smiled and said, "Well I know you're going to have loads of fun."

She... she smiled. Eri smiled.

I felt tears well in my eyes as I stared at her adorable smiling face. After the performance was over, which I felt a large swell of pride from considering the students did so well, I walked away and went to my room in the dorms. 

I locked the door and took off my shirt, leaving me in a tank top. I began unwrapping my bandages as my arms should be better. Sure enough, everything had healed and now I was just left with scars littering my arms. I looked at my right arm and looked at the ten year old burn scar from Touya's fire. I sighed and put a long sleeve shirt on. I walked back out into the dorms and made myself a cup of coffee. The students slowly came back in from the festival, tuckered out as expected, and smiled at me as they passed. 'I'm so glad that this is my class.' I thought to myself.

Time skip

I need a break. "Aizawa, I'm going to get some food, wanna join?"

"Nope."

"Okay fine, I'll go eat alone." I said as I walked out.

I walked around and went into a restaurant. It was in a pretty tall building, but whatever. I deserve to treat myself. "Y/n?" 

I perked up at the sound of my name and turned around to see Hawks and Endeavor staring at me. I chuckled nervously and said, "Hey Ke- I mean, Hawks... how have you been?"

"I've been good, just hanging out with Endeavor. Why don't you join us?" Hawks asked.

Endeavor tensed up and I looked at the expression on his face that said, 'Refuse.' I gulped and said, "Well I don't want to interrupt-"

"Nonsense!" Hawks said as he pulled me out of my seat and dragged me to their table.

Hawks sat down next to me and Endeavor sat down in front of us. "Hawks... how do you know this person?" Endeavor asked, teeming with anger.

I shrunk under his intense glare, "I was pretty good friends with them growing up. In fact, a friend of mine and I found them after they were abandoned and they started staying at his house. I never went because I never had the time to join them. Not to mention how much our other friend said his dad hated him."

I tensed up and glanced at Endeavor. He was fuming. "Um Hawks... I really should go... I don't feel like I should be here." I said awkwardly.

"Nonsense, anyway Endeavor, how do you know Y/n?" Hawks asked, oblivious to the fact that Endeavor's Touya's dad.

"They used to live at my house..." Endeavor said.

Hawks furrowed his eyebrows, confused. I then whispered, "Until you kicked me out."

Hawks glanced at me and glanced back at Endeavor, his eyes widening after making the connection. "Oh," he chuckled, "Well that's awkward."

"I really should go, my students are probably worried about me." I said, trying to stand up.

Hawks looked behind me and said, "Y/n duck!"

I furrowed my brows as Hawks pulled me forward, only for the window behind me to shatter and something to break through. I turned back and saw a large Nomu. My eyes widened and I gathered as many shadows as I could. I saw the bystanders in the restaurant so I picked them up with my shadows and guided them to the ground below. Once they were safe, I created shadow wings and glided down to the ground. "Everybody back!" I yelled, trying to protect the bystanders. 

I used a shadow barrier to push them back, but then I heard something land behind me. I turned around and saw a grey Nomu. My eyes widened as I created a shadow sword and slashed it, killing it. I turned back around and saw news reporters and citizens all trying to get a closer look at the fight. I Put my hands up, creating another barrier and said, "Stand back!"

Then, I heard someone start shouting that Endeavor was fighting for our sakes. I looked up and saw a bright ball of fire flying up into the sky. Once it got super high, it turned super bright, blinding me and weakening my shadows. Then, Endeavor fell to the ground. I cursed and ran toward where he was falling. "Endeavor!" I shouted, creating a small slide of shadows to gently guide him down. 

He landed and stood on his feet, holding his fist in the air. I smiled and ran over to him, Hawks doing the same. Endeavor fell to his knees as me and Hawks caught him. 'Fuck he's burning up.' I thought while trying to hold up the burning old man. 

"Hawks... Y/n..." Endeavor said quietly as he looked forward. 

I furrowed my eyebrows and looked in the direction he was looking to see someone approaching. Their figure was blurry due to all the smoke, but soon enough, Dabi became clear. 'Oh this son of a bitch.'

"I didn't expect to see you here, Endeavor." Dabi said menacingly.

He looked around and his eyes landed on me. "Ah Y/n, long time no see," he said with a smirk.

Hawks looked at me suspiciously, wondering why Dabi knew my name. Endeavor probably just figured that it was because he kidnapped me, but Hawks was skeptical. I gave him a look that said, 'I'll tell you later.'

He nodded and we looked back at Dabi who created a flame wall around us, "What do you want Dabi?"

"No need to get hostile, I'm just here to retrieve my fallen Nomu." Dabi said, "Although I won't pass up this chance!" 

He stormed at us, flames in hand, and tried to attack, but Mirko, the hottest woman on the face of the planet, like Lady Dimetrescu who? stopped him with a mighty kick. 

Dabi glared at Endeavor as the teleportation stuff from Kamino consumed him and said, "Don't you dare die on me, Enji Todoroki!" he glanced at me and said, "See you around, Y/n L/n."

I growled as he faded. Hawks leaned over to me and whispered, "Explain."

"Dabi's that stalker I was talking about in the hospital. He threatened my to kill students, specifically Shoto if I told anyone." I whispered to him, knowing he could be trusted with that information. Hawks has always been great at keeping secrets.

His eyes widened for a second before he nodded, "I won't tell anyone."

I nodded and we got Endeavor to the hospital. Despite the fact that I hate the man, I hope he'll be alright. That way he'll be able to face karma when it's due.
