Do I Look Okay?

I was waiting at the hospital front desk when Aizawa was walking by with Midoriya. I sighed in relief, the nurses and doctors wouldn't tell me anything about anyone's condition, and if they were okay or not.

"Aizawa!" I called, trotting after them.

They both turned to see me and my tired self. Midoriya's face lit up and he sighed.

"You okay." He said coming over.

"Of course. I'm (Y/N) after all. I don't get myself into stupid situations where I break almost every bone in my body." I peered up at Midoriya.

He blushed and laughed.

"Yeah, no, you definitely are the last person I expected to get hurt badly."

"How are the others?" I pleaded.

"Uraraka and Asui and fine, they were just tired. Kirishima is covered in lacerations from head to toe. Amajiki was injured minorly. Hado is fine and I'm okay." He said.

I nudged him and snorted.

"Your okay? You were stabbed in the back and twice in your arms. Your "okay"? I asked.

He smiled down at me and I looped my arm through his. Midoriya chuckled and walked beside me. He seemed okay, no injuries.

"Cmon. What about the rest." I asked.

His smile faded and his arm tightened around mine.

"Aizawa?" I asked, looking at his tightened lips.

Midoriya looked at him curiously too and we both frowned at him. He led us to a surgery room where there were a few people gathered. We walked in to see Bubble Girl and Centipede with All Might.

I looked at All Might curiously before I stood beside him to see who was on the bed. My stomach exploded at the sight of it. He had tubes coming out of the puncture in his body and an oxygen mask on. He was clearly in a beyond urgent state.

"Nighteye." I whispered.

Midoriya joined my side with Aizawa right behind the both of us, a hand on our shoulders. I looked at Midoriya who looked at Nighteye with the same stricken face. I looped his hand through mine and squeezed reassuringly.

He didn't look at me but his grip tightened and he pulled me closer.

"Midoriya, (Y/N)," Nighteye breathed.

"You two did the impossible. You change fate and messed with the future. You bended time. I'm glad. Because now I know there can be different outcomes." He said, looking at All Might.

I looked at him too but quickly moved my eyes back the the dying hero in front of me. It wasn't long before I felt the coolness of my tears stream down my face and tickle my neck.

I clamped my hand over my mouth with the hand that wasn't holding Midoriya's and took a small step back.

"Don't cry (Y/N). You gave me hope for the future." Nighteye said heavily.

Aizawa's arm came around me and I leaned into him. But he suddenly let go and I turned to see him go to the door.

Mirio was trying to get in. Aizawa spoke a few words to the nurse and she let Mirio in. He came over and the sight of my tears must have done something because he rushed to my side and looked at the bed, his own tear forming.

"Sir!" He choked out.

I watched as he and Nighteye spoke few words, due to his state, but when I heard Nighteye's words, I knew there was definitely hope for the future.

"Your going to make, a fine hero." Nighteye said, his hand on Mirio's cheek.

His hand dropped to the bed, his life gone.

The sob I was holding in came out and I felt hands on me. Midoriya was speaking quietly to me and Aizawa was rubbing my side reassuringly.

I clung to Midoriya as he hugged me.

"M-mid-" I tried to speak, but the sobs wouldn't stop.

I buried myself in Midoriya's chest and his arms went around me.

"Shushhhh, (Y/N)." He said rubbing my back and running his fingers through my hair. I gripped fistfulls of his hero costume in my hands and cried hard.

"I should've gotten there faster. I should have been more attentive. I should have just let you three go and stayed with Nighteye!" My shout muffled by Midoriya's chest.

Aizawa said something about a hospital room and Midoriya picked me up, carrying me to our destination.

He set me down in a bed and covered me with a blanket. He left me with Aizawa who sat in a chair by the bed.

"There's only so much one person can do." He said quietly. "We can't save everyone all the time. We can only do our best."

I rubbed my eyes and tried to staunch the flow.

"But it's not the same. If there were hundreds of people, sure okay. But this was about eight people in all that were important to me. Sure there were others, and I would feel devastated if anyone else died, but there isn't.

"Nighteye was my internship study whose life was just as important as mine. Why was he just sitting there while Midoriya and I were fighting. Had he left as soon as he got to the surface . . . ." I choked on my words and felt ice and fire spread across my body.

"(Y/N)!" Aizawa shouted, backing away.

I took deep breaths and grabbed my shaking arm. Aizawa was clearly studying me and waited until I calmed down.

"(Y/N), get some rest kid. I need you back at UA with a clear mind and rested body." Then he did something totally out of the ordinary. He kissed my forehead and hugged me.

"You know, All Might, the symbol of peace, probably feels even worse than you do, considering the fact that it's his job to protect us. You should talk to him about, ask him what to do with this pain." He let me go and left with a wave.

I sat there for a moment, tears continuing to run down my face until I passed out.

~Time Skip~

I was waiting in the waiting room with Midoriya when he said he would be back after checking in with Mirio.

I sat down, resting my head on my folded hands and breathed. I slept for a while after Aizawa had left and my body still hadn't recovered yet. Using my power past exertion was foolish, and really idiotic.

I still needed probably another days worth of sleep, and we had classes. This was gonna kill me and I already had a headache.

I stood up when Recovery stopped in front of me.

"Hello." I greeted kindly.

"You want some pez?" She asked, holding out an All Might pez dispenser.

I chuckled and nodded, she kissed my forehead, healing some of my headache, but using my energy and making me even more tired.

I smiled at her and bid my goodbyes when Midoriya returned to the lobby. We made out way out of the hospital and met Kirishima outside.

"You guys heading out too?" He asked waving at us as we descended down the steps.

"Yeah. Hey Kiri." I said nudging his side.

He grinned at me and threw an arm over my shoulder.

"I heard you and Midoriya took down Overhaul. Congrats you two, you're heroes!" He cheered.

"Haha, no. Midoriya took him down, I was basically an assist." I said.

"No way! You helped keep us in mid air, you were able to protect Mirio and Eri earlier while navigating Overhauls movements, and you kept him from destroying most of the neighborhood when you caught him. You were a huge help!" Midoriya said.

I smiled and sighed, remembering Nighteye. Kirishima picked up on my sullen mood and picked me up.

"AAH! KIRI!" I shouted as he threw me into the air with amazing strength.

"Wow, your really light (Y/N)." I didn't come back down because I was flying. "Aww, come back." Kirishima whined.

I laughed and fell, Kirishima catching me.

"Maybe because I was flying." I joked as he set me down.

We talked happily until we were stopped by a few adults.

We still had work to do.

~Another Time Skip~

I was walking into the dorms with the others when we were bombarded by our classmates.

I ignored everyone, even Midoriya. The cops had asked about every detail involving the Shie Hassaikai battle. And Nighteyes death. It had basically ruined my whole day. I walked around everyone sullenly and retreated to my room.

I was followed by Todoroki and Bakugou who had announced they were going to bed.

"Oh. Hi (Y/N)." Todoroki said.

I turned to them and nodded. It must have reminded them of when we first met because it sparked their interest.

"Whaz wrong with you?" Bakugou asked, shoving his hands in his pocket.

"Tired." I said walking down the hall.

They followed me and I turned around.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"You okay?" Todoroki asked.

"DO I LOOK OKAY?!?!" I all but shouted.

They flinched and looked at me, surprised as I dropped to the floor in front of my door. Quiet tears fell down my face as I clenched my fist.

I heard footsteps and Bakugou and Todoroki were crouching next to me.

"(Y/N), what happened?" Todoroki's voice gentle.

"I'm not strong." I whispered.

"Pfft, your plenty strong. Especially after you and stupid Deku took down that villain." Bakugou said nudging my shoulder.

"THAT WAS MIDORIYA! I can tell he was trying to give me credit, but it was him. I just did damage control. I don't care if I was simply good support, I didn't save ANYONE!" I hissed.

"Breathe (Y/N)." Todoroki said rubbing my shoulders.

After a minute I had calmed down.

"I'm sorry." I said wiping my tears. "I'm just so tired. I overused my quirk and the effects last a while."

I looked at the boys who had concern written all over their faces. I nudged them both.

"Go get some sleep. You two have an exam tomorrow." I said.

They both hesitated, looking at each other before deciding what to do.

"If you two fail, you'll never get to do any pubic hero work." I said looking at them.

They both nodded. Todoroki patted my shoulder and waved as he left for his room. Bakugou ruffled my hair and did the same as he made his way to his room.

I opened my door and stepped in, greeted by my small dorm room. I hadn't been here much and as I looked around, I realized how much I missed dad.

I quickly sent him a quick message, hoping everything was going as smoothly as possible.
