Ray's POV

It's probably been days since I've been left in this room, but no, its only been, 4 hours, according to my phone.

"I am going to go insane." I say and and I end up singing Control by Hasley.

I get up and pace, this getting unbearable.

The door gets kicked open and I jump, I look over to see Randy, and two of his friends.

Terror washes over me. "How did you get here?" I manage to ask.

"I have a teleporting quirk." The guy on the left says to me with a smirk.

Randy walks over to me slowly and I back up into the wall. "Your going to pay for selling me out." Randy says to me and my fight or flight response kicks in and I kick him into the wall.

I cover my mouth in shock and then his friends try to attack me, but the pros pull them out of the room.

Randy pulls a gun and I use my quirk to shut the door, keeping everyone out.

"RAY!" Mic yells on the other side of the door.

My breath quickens, panic over taking me.

"Your clever, but I can still kill you." Randy says as he points the gun at me.

I stare at him. "Ok Ray, snap out of it, you trained yourself for this, to kick his ass, everyone is in danger, your gonna be a hero one day, so prove you have what it takes." I whisper to myself and I slowly stand up straight.

"Heh, giving yourself a pep talk, your pathetic." Randy says to me.

I take a deep breath in and I release it, I get myself to a level head and then I use my quirk to hit into the wall.

"Your gonna pay for that!" Randy yells at me, soaking wet.

I push Randy into the wall, disarming him. "WHY!" I yell at him and he glares at me. "Why am I gonna pay for what you did? Why do I have to live in fear of you? Your just a bastard! Yet you scare the living shit out of me, so bad today that I had my first actual panic attack since I was 7! You gave me nightmares, your the reason I can't sleep at night without worrying about the people I care about! I'm scared that your ass is actually gonna get them! But I don't understand why I have to pay for what YOU did to MY MOTHER? You killed her! The police were gonna find out anyways even if I didn't say anything! You would have gone to jail anyways! Why are you so fucking pissed at me, for speeding up that process?" I yell at him and Randy glares at me as I glare back. "I'm not gonna let you touch the people I care about, I could kill you, but I'm not going to." I say and Randy kicks me in the gut and I slide back into the far wall, holding my stomach and his gun.

Randy pulls out another gun and tries to shoot me, but my water catches the bullets.

I stand up straight and I create hands made of water and they slam on Randy, making him fall to the ground.

Randy gets up and shoots my left thigh.

I bite back a scream, instead I repell the bullet out with some water and my leg bleeds.

I ignore it and I slam Randy into the wall with my water, I catch his bullets.

"Your not gonna escape here conscious." I say to Randy.

I use a freaking Tsunami on him, and Randy still gets up.

Randy continues to shoot at me, but I catch the bullets with my water, however, I didn't catch a few, so one grazes my right shoulder, and another grazes my left cheek.

I wince, but Randy just smirks at me.

I cover my fists in water and I run at Randy, even though I feel immense pain in my thigh.

I punch Randy in the face and he spins into the wall.

Randy gets up as I breath heavily. Randy pulls a knife from his shoe and he throws it at me, my water catches it, and I lodge it deep into the ceiling.

Randy scowls at me.

I'd be lying if I wasn't scared, I'm fucking terrified, but a hero keeps calm in every situation, and I know better than to let my emotions dictate my actions. I'm not terrified for myself, I'm terrified of failing and Randy gets to my friends and family.

The hero's bust the door down to see me on defense and Randy on offense.

Midnight let's out her fumes, and Randy falls asleep.

I drop the gun and I fall on my ass, about to cry in relief.

"He wasn't shot." Cementos says as he looks at Randy.

Midnight kneels next to me. "Hey kid, I'm gonna knock you out for a bit, just so we can get your wounds taken care of and you can get some decent sleep." Midnight says to me and she doesn't even wait for my answer, she releases her fumes up my nose and I'm out like a light.

I wake up at some point and I hear that police talking.

I open my eyes and they're blurry, so I rub them, in a moment, I see Katsuki and Izu over me.

"Is it over?" I ask.

Katsuki and Izu each take a hand. "No casualties, you held him off." Aizawa says at the foot of the bed. "You shouldn't have shut the door though." Aizawa says to me.

"He was in the perfect spot to shoot Mic." I say and Aizawa looks at me surprised. "I couldn't let that happen." I say to Aizawa. "He's your friend." I say and Katsuki grips my hand tighter.

"Yeah well you could have fucking died in there." Katsuki growls out.

I look at him and I smile. "I wasn't gonna die, I was too scared to fail in there, because if I failed, Randy would have come after you guys." I say to Katsuki.

"Midoriya, Bakugou, Eraser, we need to ask Ray Kage some questions, would you please wait outside?" A police officer asks them.

"Its Midoriya, Ray Midoriya, my legal name." I say and the officer nods in apology.

"We're not done talking about this." Katsuki says to me and I nod as he leaves with Izu and Aizawa.

I sit up with some trouble. "What do you want to know, Officer?" I ask him.

He opens a note pad and asks me questions that I answer honestly and he makes me go over everything, from the time I was a kid with him, until he got arrested, to the time I visited him in jail, and then what happened.

"May I ask how long I've been asleep?" I ask the officer.

"14 hours." He says to me and I nod.

"Thank you." I say and he nods.

"Thank you for holding off Randy, even though you had every right to kill him." The officer says to me and leaves the room.

Recovery girl comes in and she lectures me about my reckless behavior and I grip the blanket. "Though you did good." Recovery girl relents and she gets a pair of crutches. "You can go back to the dorms whenever you please." Recovery girl says as she sets the crutches next to the bed.

I nod in thanks and I get up with some trouble and I almost fall, but I use one of the crutches to keep myself up.

I use the crutches to leave the room and I get confronted by Nezu.

"Ray, you were very reckless yesterday, but you did some good, you won't have to worry about Randy anymore, he's going to Tartourus, the same place as All For One." Nezu says to me.

I nod. "That's great." I say to him, my mind elsewhere, thinking about the fight. "That's really great." I say with a genuine smile.

"Go back to the dorms and relax, after what we put you through, your deserve it." Nezu orders me.

I nod in thanks.

I leave the hospital and I look around in slight confusion.

The press surround me and I sweat drop.

"I'm not going to answer any questions right now, please excuse me, I'm not in the mood for that." I say to them with a weak smile.

"How did it feel to come face to face with Randy after so long?" A blondie asks me.

I push past them and I head back to the school, annoyed by this inconvience called a shot wound.

I head towards my dorm house when Peter hugs me.

"You did it!" Peter says to me.

I look at him surprised. "Uh, yeah, uh, I did." I say to him.

Peter steps back and grins. "You must feel relieved that its finally over." Peter says to me.

I nod. "I am, I really am, I can actually sleep without having to worry about Randy escaping again." I say to Peter with a smile.

"I would never have the courage to do what you did, I'm not strong enough for that." Peter says as he starts to walk me towards my dorm house.

"I did it, because if I didn't, everyone would die. I couldn't just let that happen." I say to him as I stare at the ground.

Peter ruffles my hair. "Mom and Dad called, they're so proud of what you did." Peter says to me.

I smile and we get to my dorm house.

"Ah right. I was on my way to class, good luck with that injury." Peter says to me.

"Thanks Peter." I say to him with a smile and Peter smirks and nods and goes to the school.

I head inside and I see everyone in my class waiting in the common area.

Kiri is the first one to see me. "RAY!" He yells excitedly.

I don't see Katsuki as everyone rushes over to me.

Izu hugs me and I can't really do anything unless I want to fall.

I put my chin on his shoulder in comfort as he cries in relief. "I should be crying, dummy." I say to Izu who laughs.

"Ray, weren't you scared of him?" Mineta asks me.

I scoff. "Of course." I say as Izu moves back. "The bastard killed my Mom, abused me when I was a Kid, gave me issues, he threatened you guys 12 years ago though, and I couldn't let it slide, you guys are my friends, even you Mineta. Though your still not aloud in the girls dorm area." I say to him.

"Ray is so strong." Kiri says as he grins.

I shrug and I head towards the elevator. "I'm not as strong as you think I am." I say and I push an elevator button to go up. "I am human." I add.

"Kacchan is in your room." Izu warns me.

I nod and I get into the Elevator and I use it to get to my floor.

Once the door opens, I get out carefully and I head down to my room and I walk in, to see Katsuki, looking annoyed as he stares at the wall.

"Katsu?" I ask carefully.

Katsuki gets off the ground and he turns to look at me. "You reckless idiot!" Katsuki growls and I stare at him. "You should have let the pros handle him! But you didn't!" Katsuki goes on and on.

I frown. "Katsu, if I had done that, I would have died in there, Randy had a friend who had a teleportation quirk, and the pros couldn't have gotten there in time." I say to him as he pauses to breath.

Katsuki scowls. "You could have escaped out the door." Katsuki says to me.

I look at the ground, unable to hold eye contact, he looks so furious.

Eve meows at my feet and I figure out a way to pick her up without falling.

Eve purrs in my ear as she lays on my shoulder.

"You should have at least stopped those bullets. You wouldn't have had to use crutches if you did." Katsuki says to me.

"Look Katsuki, I was doing my freaking best not to die in there from a gun shot to the head or the heart or anywhere else vitally important that could kill me in an instant! I couldn't react fast enough to stop this one! I get you were worried about me, but it feels like I did everything terribly wrong. Yeah maybe I could have tried to prevent it, but I also didn't want the pros to die either! I didn't want anyone to die! I couldn't handle that on my conscious. And your making it seem like I could have done better, even though I had to pep talk myself into thinking I could even try to take Randy on. I was freaking out." I say to Katsuki and I sigh as I see him still angry.

Katsuki says something and we get into a heated arguement and I leave with a bit of trouble.

I don't remember half of the fight, all I know is that it hurt.

I head downstairs and I sit outside in the backyard on a bench with Eve on my shoulder, trying to cheer me up, even though I'm about to cry.

I can't even stop the tears as they roll down my cheeks.

Eve nuzzles my chin and licks my tears.

I look up at the sky, its a bright blue.

I get up with some trouble, but I head to the train station.

I have to go somewhere and Eve stays on my shoulder.

The press try to talk to me, but I ignore them, not in the mood.
