Mei visits finally!

The next day

Bullet was still alone. Aizawa didn't tell the class, Momo, Izuku, and Fumikage came to see him but Aizawa sent them off. Telling them that everyone else was training hard, they needed to catch up!

They left and Bullet looked out the window at the sun, not smiling. He remembered that Toga was out there somewhere… He heard everything that happened after and during the event.

Ragdoll losing her Quirk, All-Might retiring, many Heroes getting injured…

It was all his fault, really.

He got out of the bed and walked around, frowning slightly before returning to normal. His equilibrium was a bit off… Not to mention, he felt his stomach churn just a bit but that wasn't an issue. If he throws up, he throws up.

He walked out of the room and looked around, asking a nurse for the injured Heroes' rooms. She gave him directions and Bullet walked off.

He came to Mt. Lady's room and she was flipping channels, cursing "Fucking TV!" she noticed Bullet and said "Hey! Oh my god! Your arm…" Bullet smiled and nodded, "Tripped and fell, lost it." before getting down on the ground and touching his forehead to the floor, saying "Sorry. Injured because of Bullet."

Mt. Lady was dumbfounded and said worriedly "You get up! Get up quick! Damn kid!" Bullet stayed there and she pulled him up, saying angrily "Listen! I'm a hero! I don't need your apology! I came to save you because you needed saving!" Bullet smiled kindly, "Thank you."

Mt. Lady was aggrieved and she shook him, saying with a whiny voice, "Get that damn self-blaming look out of your eyes! It's freaking me out!" Bullet closed his eyes and Mt. Lady erupted "Ahh! You damn kid! I'll kill you!" Bullet patted her arm, smiling kindly "Sorry again."

She froze and hugged him, "It's okay, Bullet. It's not your fault. This is what heroes do, okay? Don't be too hard on yourself." before she let him go. He nodded and left the room, gently closing the door behind him.

Bullet went to every hero injured from the event and apologized.

Even going to Ragdoll, only to find out she was discharged two days ago.

So he came to Best Jeanist.

The last one.

Bean Jeanist was still resting and Bullet saw it. He teared up and kneeled down, apologizing softly, "Sorry, Best Jeanist… This all Bullet's fault… Why come for me… Look what happened…"

However, someone else spoke at this time, "So you're the kid?" Bullet turned his head and looked at the man with wings, muttering "Hawks?" Hawks nodded and smiled, "Don't beat yourself up, kid. You did a great thing."

Bullet turned back and cried "But… Everyone hurt because of Bullet… Worthless anyway!" Hawks patted his head and lifted him up, smiling "Worthless? I don't think so!" Bullet looked at him and Hawks smiled "Hurt, yes! But alive! You try die with All For One! Brave!" Bullet sniffed and Hawks chuckled, "You hero, understand?"

Bullet nodded sadly and Hawks sighed, letting him go, saying "Go on, get rest." Bullet left the room and Hawks turned to Best Jeanist, saying "Didn't want to say a few words?" Jeanist opened his eyes, replying slowly "And say what? He must be feeling awful already…"

Hawks shrugged, "A simple 'I forgive you' would suffice." Jeanist shook his head and said "Words are useless. He's a good boy, he'll come out of this with his best jeans on!" then he got serious, "What you were saying… Is it true?" Hawks nodded grimly.

Back with Bullet.

He walked back to his room before being tackled to the ground and dragged inside his room, the door slamming behind him.

Bullet looked up and Mei looked down at him, grinning with extremely tired looking eyes!

She laughed, "HAHAHA! YOU'RE ALIVE! I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO DIE, I ALMOST JUMPED OFF MY ROOF! AHAHAH! SERIOUSLY! I WAS DEPRESSED!" Bullet was dazed, "Ah…" Mei put him in his bed, laying down on him as the bed slowly went down.

She smiled cutely as the bed slowly went down. Bullet blinked and she burst out laughing tears gushing from her eyes. She hugged him tight and trembled, saying softly "Bullet, I was so scared, you have no idea. I had nightmares for three days straight, then I stopped sleeping… I couldn't even imagine you dying, I would cough so bad it hurt…"

Bullet hugged her body with one arm, smiling gently "Alive now. Sorry…" Mei looked up at his self blaming face. She held his cheeks and said "Hey… Don't be like that, okay? None of this is your fault. You did everything you could, Momo told me what you did… You-You… You're so stupid… isn't it good to live?! Why do you want to die… Do you know that I'll be alone?!"

She really started crying and glaring at him. He looked bad and swallowed in shame, she wiped her eyes and smiled "But you know, when I heard what you did and saw you on the operating table… I was so proud of you."

Bullet froze and stared at her as she laughed, wiping her eyes, crying profusely, "I don't want you to die but if you died doing what you did… then I can hold my head up high and be proud of you every single day. You're a real hero to me, Bullet. You're my hero… But more, you're my most precious baby."

Bullet swallowed and teared up, Mei kissed him deeply, wrapping her arms around his neck.

After a few minutes, they separated, panting.

Mei blushed and rubbed his chest before getting off him and pulling up the bed, covering her embarrassment with a laugh, "HAHAHA! ALTHOUGH, I KNEW YOU WOULD PULL THROUGH! SO MY GALAXY LEVEL IQ CAME UP WITH A COUNTERMEASURE! SOMETHING THAT NOBODY COULD EVEN BEGIN TO COMPREHEND! I AM THE SEER OF SEERS! THE ORACLE! AHAHAHAHAH!"

She tore off his hospital gown, tearing the bandages off his shoulder, saying "GET THESE STUPID THINGS OFF MY DOG! AHAHAH! A THREE LEGGED DOG?! SINCE WHEN HAS MISSING A LIMB STOPPED ANYONE?! NEVER! THAT'S WHEN! THAT'S WHY I CAME UP WITH SUCH A DEVICE! BEHOLD!"

She turned and opened a briefcase, revealing a black metal arm!

It looked very… steampunk-y.

Mei held the arm and laughed "HAHAHA! I REMEMBER ALL YOUR MEASUREMENTS YOU DAMN CUTE BASTARD! NOT ONLY WILL THIS BE BETTER THAN YOUR OLD MORTAL ARM, BUT IT WEIGHS THE SAME! WHEN YOU GAIN MUSCLE I CAN FIT IT WITH NEW COUNTERWEIGHT! PLUS! IF YOU SMASH IT TO PIECES THEN I CAN REBUILD IT! MAKE IT STRONGER! ADD FUNCTIONS! SO FAR THIS ONE CAN FIRE BULLETS BUT THE NEXT ONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO SHOOT LASERS! AHAHAHAH PRAISE ME! NO! KISS ME! I'M YOUR MISTRESS!"

Bullet was dumbfounded, staring at the arm in shock, saying "No visit, make this?!" Mei froze and said worriedly "I'm sorry, I wanted to visit but this took up so much time… I'm really, really sorry, Bullet. Please don't be upset." Bullet smiled happily, "Bullet happy! Mei do all this just for Bullet! Bullet upset, maybe idiot? Haha."

Mei was thrilled and kissed his lips, saying "I LOVE YOU! SO MUCH! HAHAHA! KISS ME AGAIN! MWAH!" Before dragging a toolbox, saying "This is going to hurt… a lot. Bear with it, okay?" Bullet nodded and Mei let out a breath, going to work on his shoulder, making it suitable for a docking system.

The docking system had to attach to the nerves and various other systems in the body so that Bullet would be able to use it just like a normal arm. This was a very tough concept for Mei because it was completely new to her!

Luckily, she managed to create it in a burst of inspiration!

She tested it on 5 dogs and one person.

They all worked, so she was sure it was safe for Bullet.

As she got more in touch with this sort of mechanical construct, her finesse would only get better! Not to mention, this one was Steampunk to her tastes, but it didn't really look right for Bullet. The next one would be much, much better!

Bullet didn't say anything, watching a Drama on TV with a happy smile on his face. The girl he loved and dramas… What more could he want?

Ah…

Maybe his original arm…
