New Bonds
When everything was over and under control Y/N, Midoriya, Iida and Todoroki were taken to Hosu General Hospital. Since most rooms were occupied by those victims who got injured yesterday, everyone was kept in one room. Although she felt a bit uncomfortable with three other guys in the same room, she definitely slept like a baby after the little incident. Well, her training was brutal and she didn't want to waste a day where she's finally getting some sleep. Her side of the bed was fully covered with curtains. When she finally woke up, she rubbed her eyes and heard the conversation between the boys.
"Did you sleep Midoriya?" Todoroki asked.
"No, not really," Midoriya answered.
"I figured. Me neither."
"Thinking about the fight now, we did something pretty amazing."
"Yeah, I agree."
"After everything that happened back there, it kinda feels like a miracle that we are even alive. With my leg messed up, I was an easy target. He probably could've killed me if he really wanted to," Midoriya said, glancing at his wrapped up feet.
"Yeah, seems to me that he let both of us live in purpose. I am impressed by you though, Iida. He was actually trying to murder you but you stood tall," Todoroki said looking at Iida.
"That's not true. I was-" Iida got interrupted by a loud 'thud'.
"Uh...morning guys?" Y/N said.
"Wait, are you okay?! Did you get hurt?" Midoriya asked looking at her down on the floor.
"Yeah yeah I'm fine. I just got a little cramp on my legs for speeding up too much. I also had training yesterday, you know?" Y/N said getting up and walked to the bathroom to get freshen up. When she was done, she heard some voice outside the bathroom.
"There you are!" Baiji's angry voice entered her ears as soon as she got out of the bathroom.
"Oh shit," Y/N thought.
"I told all of you not to engage in fights! That was an order! What made you think you can just go out there and disobey what I said?!"
"But you said that I can rescue someone. And my friend Iida needed to be rescued!" Y/N said, hoping Baiji won't use this to double the workouts for her.
"Don't blame this on him! You should just be glad that there wasn't any kind of major harm! That was very reckless of you," Baiji sighed, "Well we don't have time for that now. You've got a visitors."
The Police Chief, Kenji Tsuragamae along with Manual and Gran Torino were also in the room.
"So, you're the U.A. students who brought down the hero killer huh?" Kenji said, "Stain has some serious injuries - severe burns, lots of cuts on his body and several broken bones. Right now, he's in the hospital under strict guard. There's a lesson you should've already learned. When quirks became the norm, the police forces sought to maintain their status quo. They decided we wouldn't use quirks as weapons. That's when heroes came in. They could do what we couldn't, that is if they are licensed. It would be impossible for police to condone the use of deadly quirks. Afterall, we are here to stop such harm from being done. The reason why only pros can use their powers now is because of the strict code of ethics that the heroes abide by. That's why it's against the law for uncertified people to cause injury. Whether you were up against the hero killer or not, none of you have the authority to harm the villain. That means the four of you along with your supervisors are sure to receive harsh punishments for gross abuse of your powers."
"Now wait a minute! If Iida hadn't stepped in Native would've been murdered. And if not for Midoriya and Y/N, both of them would be dead. No one else even realized that the hero killer was in Hosu! Are you saying we should've just stood by and watched people die?!" Todoroki said, anger laced in his voice while Midoriya and Iida tried to calm him down.
"So it's okay to break the laws as long as it goes your way?" Kenji said.
"But sir, isn't it a hero's job to save people?" Todoroki said, his patience was running low now.
"This is why you're not a full-fledged pro yet. It's obvious U.A. and Endeavor hasn't been teaching enough," Kenji said which pushed Todoroki to finally march towards him but got stopped by Gran Torino in middle saying.
"What I'm saying is the official stand of the police department. But any punishment would only be necessary if this was public. If it was, there's no way you could escape from being reprimanded. On the other hand, we could say Endeavor saved the day. Media would support the stories completely and we could pretend you weren't involved. Thankfully there were very few witnesses. This could be the last you heard of any punishments. It woul mean no one would know about you though. You'd receive no claim at all. The choice is yours." Kenji said, "Personally I know where I stand. I don't wanna damage any promising young careers for a mistake like this."
"We all sorry for what we did," Y/N said as Iida, Todoroki and Midoriya nooded their heads and bowed down in respect.
"I know it's not fair. You won't enjoy any of the fame and praise you would've received otherwise. But allow me, as the chief of police," Kanji bowed down as well, "to say thank you."
[ TIME SKIP ]
After taking some rest, Y/N took her phone and stepped outside their room. She went near the visitor's area and called everyone, reassuring them of her health and safety. She read everyone's texts and send them messages. Well, almost everyone. Maybe it was because she was nervous to read the texts Bakugou sent her. Or maybe she 'saved the best for last'.
She opened the text with a small smile on her face. She didn't exactly expect him to text her back.
*texting*

From the looks of it, Y/N felt that Bakugou was actually a bit worried. Was he though? Maybe he was just being himself and talking naturally like he did with others. She wasn't so sure, and Kyoka wasn't available all the time since she had her own training. She was overthinking for sure. But this was a conversation starter and she was glad.
Y/N's injuries weren't that bad, so she got released from hospital. And she went back to train at the internship again.
Oikawa hugged her and almost cried like a baby when she entered the agency. Baiji was furious with her actions and gave her more tasks than usual. With a bit of pleading and ugly crying, according to her sidekick, the police department agreed to just punish her with a paycut. Baiji became more petty than she usually was. Often she would repeat Y/N's words and mock her, something that she didn't do in front off her sidekick. But it was all for fun and in the sense that they were now closer than they were before. And her friends were all safe, even though Iida's left arm was damaged way worse than expected, atleast he was alive. She knew Iida would work harder and never give up. It brightened up her mood and she felt positive.
Well, all of that and also the fact that she started expecting replies from him. For someone as rude as Bakugou, Y/N didn't expect him to have any sense of humor.

And as for Bakugou, he was surprised at the sudden text from her. What was she thinking? Why would he allow someone like her to be his friend? But he couldn't help it. He never ignored her words before, and he wasn't going to be a coward and piss himself just because of this 'friendship' bullshit.
And then, he heard the news of the attacks in Hosu City. He knew her agency was close to the said city. He thought that he was being very subtle about his worry, and from the outsider's perspective he would even come off as rude but if any of his friends got a glimpse of his texts, especially Kirishima, it wouldn't take them a second to know that he was infact, worried about Y/N. He was sure what they would've said about this. He might've acted like he didn't understand it before, but he knew what Kirishima meant when he talked about Y/N to him.
"How come you don't know our classmate's names and their quirks but actually know Y/N this well?" ,
"Hey, you probably have no idea about this but you look at her way more than any other girl in this whole school." ,
"Dude, I know you're smart and shit but no one is gonna believe that bullshit about you observing her. You were clearly checking her out!" ,
"Just admit it bro, there's something different between the both of you!"
All of which were now absurd to him. They were nothing but old classmates. And now, they are just friends.
And ofcourse, besides that, Bakugou would also know all about Y/N's weaknesses.
