Chapter Twenty-Six: Recovery

Kirishima's POV-

In the end, we managed to make it out alive.

All Might had run into Iida and Amaterasu apparently while on his way here, and they filled him in on the situation. It was a gruesome battle after he arrived, but he managed to take down the Nomu along with Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki and myself. Though I can say I didn't really do much of anything to help in that situation.

Amaterasu stayed behind with her sister while Iida returned with the rest of the teachers,  Snipe landing a few shots in their leader's arms and legs. He's a pro hero who's very skilled with guns, I think he teaches some of the upperclassmen.

"Aside from the one with the messed-up legs and the girl they brought in earlier, all of the students seem to be unharmed." Detective Tsukauchi, the top detective in the police force. He was sent here since he's on great terms with the principal, though he probably would have come regardless.

"We're going to send you kids back to your classrooms for now. This is no time to take your statements, especially since a few of you aren't present at this time."

"Detective, what about Aizawa-sensei?" Tsuyu asks, putting a finger on her chin.

The detective gives her a sad smile before continuing. "Both arms were smashed to splinters. His face was also fractured, but thankfully he doesn't seem to have any brain damage. But.. his eye sockets have been pulverized. There's a chance he may suffer from long-term loss of vision. So I hear at least."

"Thirteen has terrible lacerations along his back and upper arms, but his life isn't in danger. All Might's injuries aren't life threatening either. It's possible that Recovery Girl's quirk will be enough for him, so he's gone to the nurse's office."

"And Deku..?" Uraraka says with a worried expression.

"Yes, what of Midoriya and Za- Benzaiten?" Iida continues frantically, and I can practically see the sweat drop from his face.

"Midoriya also seems to have made it to the nurse's office in time. I actually have some business there, now that I think about it. Miss Nobuyuki however.."

I can feel my heart stop in my chest as the detective dons a saddened expression. "Recovery Girl was able to stabilize her, but her injuries were incredibly severe. She was transferred to the local hospital for further treatment."

"There was tremendous blood loss especially from her head, though it doesn't look like she suffered any brain damage either. Many of her bones were broken, mainly her ribs, but thankfully her spinal chord and essential organs are perfectly fine."

"Her leg didn't take too much damage, merely adding to the blood loss she suffered. But they don't know how long it will take until she wakes up, it may be a while until her body's natural regeneration catches up with her injuries."

"Can we go see her?" I can't help but ask, and the detective gives me a light smile in return.

"I'm sure you could, I've already given them a class list so they know you're allowed to visit. I'll be waiting to get her statement until she starts healing a bit, but for now, Sansa you're in charge." A man with a cat head salutes as the detective takes his leave. 

Ama's POV-

Classes were cancelled the next day, and I spent all of my time in the hospital with Zai. Doctors and nurses came in and out while Zai laid in her hospital bed, completely passed out. I sigh as I check my phone, seeing plenty of messages in the group chat.

Zai had given us all nicknames the first day this was made, and I'm surprised that everyone kept them the same.

Class 1-A Group Chat

Amaterasu has entered the chat

MiniMight:

>Mom was pretty upset about what happened at the USJ, I hate that I worried her so much.

SonicBoom:

>I think all of our parents would be worried, even though most of us didn't get hurt.

AngryPomeranian:

>Sure, everyone's parents except for the peacock and the plant's.

CA$HMONEY:

>Bakugo! That's highly insensitive of you to say! Especially after what happened..

AngryPomeranian:

>It's the truth, Miss Weight Watchers. Though I guess my old hag has been worrying enough for the three of us.

CA$HMONEY:

>Oh right, your mother is a fan of Zai's! I nearly forgot about that.

IAmPlant:

If our parents were here, I'm sure they'd be giving Zai an earful right now.<

RockBoi:

>Ama! How is she doing? Is she awake yet?

IAmPlant:

No, not yet. She's doing fine, but I'm sure she'll complain about being hungry when she wakes up.<

AngryPomeranian:

>Omw.

FluffyTail:

>Bakugo is bringing food.. and doing something nice for once?

WelcomeToTheBlackParade:

>Well this is certainly a turn of events.

AngryPomeranian:

> SHUT UP EXTRAS! The old hag is forcing me to.

RockBoi:

>We'll see you when you get here then! Kaminari and I are already on our way so we'll probably get there before you. We want to give Ama a break, Aizawa is already back and he asked us to send her to him so he can take her home.

>Whatever that means.

I put my phone down once another nurse comes in, leaning back in my chair. They already care for you so much, big sister, I think to myself. I think.. If I was here instead of you, I wouldn't have gotten such a warm reception.

I guess that's just how life is.

Zai's POV-

I can't help but wince as I slowly slip away from unconsciousness, hearing a few voices from beside me. "Look, guys! I think she's waking up!"

I blink a couple times to clear my vision, finding myself in a particularly bland hospital room. The light above me flickers slightly as I look out the window, surprised to find it's already night time. Everything is bathed in a dirty white color, the cloth making up my green hospital gown doing nothing to brighten the atmosphere.

What does however, are the three boys sitting at my bedside.

"Zai! Thank god you're awake!" Kaminari cries, taking my hand in his. "I was worried you were never going to wake up!"

I can't help but let out a small giggle from his comment, before wincing and bursting into a small coughing fit. "Come on, someone as fabulous as me can survive anything. I couldn't have been asleep for THAT long."

Midoriya, Kaminari and Kirishima look at each other before giving me sad smiles. "You've been out for a couple days, actually," Midoriya says, before clapping his hands together. "Oh! I saw you fighting all those villains that day though, you looked like you were dancing!"

"I mean, I kind of was. That's a skill I learned after I got my quirk. It helps a lot when I have to fight, but.. that monster was something else."

I resist the urge to let the smile fall from my face as the boys nod in agreement. "Yeah, All Might managed to defeat it but it almost killed him," Kirishima admits. "Thanks to that warp gate dude at least. I heard the police caught the monster though, as well as all the low life's we took out."

"That's good to hear.." I say with a sigh of relief. "How is he doing by the way? Are the rest of our classmates safe? What about Mr. Aizawa?"

"Aizawa-sensei is already back and teaching again, despite his injuries," Kaminari answers. "All Might is fine, and so is Thirteen. He got hurt pretty bad but they say he'll make a full recovery. Otherwise, the only one who got hurt other than you was Midoriya, but that's really no surprise."

The green haired boy turns a bit red at Kaminari's statement, causing me to burst into laughter with pains shooting through my chest. "That's a relief. My sister must have been really worried then."

"Yeah, we had to practically shove her out the door so she could take a break," Kirishima says. "She wouldn't leave your side the whole time you were out. Oh, and Bakugo was here earlier too! But he had to step out for something, he said he'd be back though."

"Now THAT'S surprising," I reply, furrowing my brow a bit. What could he possible be visiting me for? Probably to tell me that he's better than me because he got out unscathed or something.

"Hey Zai," Midoriya asks, pulling out his signature notebook. "Mind if I ask you a few questions about your quirk? I find it so fascinating!"

"Uhh, sure I don't mind," I respond. "What would you like to know?"

We spend the next hour talking about my quirk, the boys finding it ironic since I kept it a secret in the beginning. "My weakness? Quirk wise or life wise?" I ask in confusion.

"Both?" Midoriya replies, letting out a nervous laugh. "I'm sorry if it's a lot, we can stop if you're not feeling too well."

"Nah, don't worry about it, I'm perfectly fine! Well, you already know the drawbacks to the people around me when I use it, and the fact that I can't turn it off. But if I use it too much, the muscles I'm using the most begin to go numb until I can't use them anymore. It takes a while to come back from that, but it's not that bad."

"You must have gotten really good with it though, from all of your concerts," Kirishima adds, leaning back in his chair.

"Yep! I can normally last about thirty minutes before I have to turn it on mute, at least on stage since I'm dancing and using so many muscles at once. But normally I start with my fingers, then my wrist and my tongue. I start small, and it lets me keep going for a lot longer."

"You said you had a weakness life wise?" Kaminari asks, tilting his head a bit.

"Oh, yeah. I'm allergic to peppers."

All three of their eyes widen, probably not expecting that answer. "That's it? I thought it was going to be something extravagant or epic, like giant man-eating spiders or venomous snakes!" Midoriya rambles on as he furiously notes down what I said.

"Nah, I'm fine with those," I reply with a light giggle. "But if I eat any peppers, my throat swells up and it gets a little hard to breathe. I don't have an EpiPen or anything though, since it usually goes away soon enough. It really depends on how much I've eaten."

Midoriya's phone goes off then, and he steps aside to answer it. We all wait patiently for him to be done, before he gives us all a sad smile as he hangs up. "Mom wants me home for dinner," he says, packing his notebook back in his bag.

"Oh crap, I completely lost track of time!" Kirishima says, jumping to his feet with a sweet smile. "We'll come visit again soon okay? I'll bring any school work you missed so you don't fall behind."

I nod as the three start to head out, but Kaminari takes a second before turning back to me. "Hey Zai.. once you get better, would you like to go on a date with me?" He asks, giving me a sheepish smile. "I know it's sudden, but I wanted to ask as soon as possible.."

"Sure, why not?"

Kaminari nearly chokes on air in surprise, his face turning a bright red. "R-really?" he stutters, eyes wide like a fish. 

I burst into another fit of laughter, resulting in another round of coughing from my injuries. "Of course, I'd love to," I respond, and the look on his face is PRICELESS.

After they leave I decide to scroll through the group chat, smiling a bit as I read the old messages of concern from my classmates. It's not long before I hear the door to my room open, and a certain blonde makes his way inside. One hand is behind his back, the other holding a small tupperware container.

"Well look what the cat dragged in," I joke as Bakugo walks over, the boy narrowing his eyes at me as he sets the container on the desk beside the bed.

"Shut up, where did shitty hair and dunce face run off too? I saw that damn Deku on my way back too, pissed me off."

I roll my eyes before shifting a bit to sit more comfortably. Pain shoots through my entire body, causing me to wince but smile all the same. "They left since it was getting late," I replied. "Speaking of, shouldn't you be in bed by now, old man?"

"Eight o'clock is the perfect time to sleep," he argues. "I get at least eight hours if I were to wake up at four in the morning, meaning I can train even earlier."

"Okay okay, whatever you say. What's the container for?"

"Your sister said you'd complain about being hungry," he says with a roll of his eyes. "And I happen to be an amazing chef. I know you can't cook for shit and hospital food is garbage, so you'll finally have to admit that I'm better than you, peacock."

I raise a brow before bursting into laughter yet again, earning a scowl from the blonde. "You clearly don't know me too well," I reply as I open the container. Inside is some rice balls with vegetable rolls, and even a little cup of soy sauce. "But.. thank you."

Bakugo's eyes widen as I set it back down, putting the lid on it so it keeps the warmth. "I'm sorry, what was that..?" he asks with a sly grin on his face.

"I ain't repeating myself, boom boom boy."

The male rolls his eyes before moving his arm from behind him, revealing a somewhat large bouquet of golden and white plumeria flowers. "Well, these are also for you. I saw some people bringing in flowers and.. well, I couldn't have them show me up. I'm the best after all!"

Uh huh, sure Bakugo. I totally believe you. "I don't know what to say.." I reply as I take them with a smile. The flowers smell so wonderfully, and the colors blend together incredibly well.

"Though truly, I'm just glad that you all came to see me at all."

There were so many ideas for the end of this chapter! Also, we hit 2500 hundred words??? I'm getting back into my groove, I'm so excited! I hope you are all excited as well, because shit is about to go down...

This is a Nomu, a bioengineered creature that absolutely destroyed Aizawa and Zai, as well as proving to be more than a match for All Might.
