Bakugou was forced back to his own mindscape.

The ash blonde was back at the clearing in the mountain from where he was taken from. But things were a little bit different now. The sun had risen, the ash blonde couldn't see anything beyond the mountain and the trees seemed to be taller than they were supposed to be.

This was now just a normal dream he was soon going to wake up from.

The ash blonde frantically looked around to see if the green head was with him or not. And as much as he hated to say it but for the first time he was worried why Izuku wasn't next to him — he would still never say that out loud though. But for all he knew, that alter ego could be killing the green haired boy right now or taking over his entire conscience and body. Perhaps something even worse...

And he — the only person who got a chance to save Izuku — wouldn't be able to do anything.

He failed.

"Dammit!!" He cursed loudly.

This was like the only chance to save the green haired boy's life that was possibly very badly ruined.

Suddenly, he began to feel his mind dissolve around in the dream. It was beginning to be just a normal dream. He had no longer control of what happened and what he would remember after waking up. Bakugou felt light headed as slowly all types of sensations faded into nothingness and darkness surrounded him.

And just as he let his eyes close,

Bakugou woke up.

~O~

Shutting off the beeping alarm clock, the already awake All Might sat up straight.

For some reason he hadn't been able to get any sleep last night or the night before that one. He felt something was horribly off.

He remembered losing his quirk in his last battle with All For One. But he also remembered to have already passed it down to someone months before that fight happened... But who?

The feeling was... Odd.

He had been thinking about it the whole night. No — wait a minute, the whole night he had been thinking about something or someone else and he shouldn't forget them, no matter what. Was it his successor? Did he forget his own successor?! Where were they now?! Were they okay?! Why did he forget his successor in the first place?!

A successor isn't someone you could just forget about overnight!

All Might came to the conclusion that he was getting way too old before walking out of his room.

He wanted to see his successor.

~O~

The ash blonde jolted up from the chair he had fallen asleep on, right next to Izuku's hospital bed.

The first thing he saw and the first thing that brought an ounce of relief into his system was that the green haired boy who lied in front of him was no longer taking in the delicate and too dangerously slow breaths.

His breathing appeared to be normal. His lips weren't blue either. They had returned to their usual shade. Chest moving up and down at a normal pace. The heart rate monitor as well was no longer anywhere near a flat line.

Beads of sweat rolled down the green haired boy's forehead, his freckled cheeks tinted with red. The ash blonde could see his previously numb body slightly shivering. A fever.

Bakugou thought that it should be a good thing. If he was getting a fever, it meant that his body was no longer getting colder but now it was starting to regain the lost temperature.

Izuku was safe.

Bakugou stood up and called in a nurse to check up on the green haired boy.

~O~

The dorms were unusually quiet.

Some were staring into their breakfasts while the others were zoned out holding a cup of coffee or a glass of orange juice. Everyone seemed lost in thoughts. Something felt missing...

And as they racked their brains trying to figure out what was making their morning incomplete, Iida asked, "Has anyone seen Bakugou?"

Kaminari looked at the time on his phone while he poured milk in his cereal, "I dunno, dude. Thought he was out jogging or something..."

"Bakugou doesn't jog so early in the morning...? Only Midoriya does." Kirishima said a he took a bite of his food.

His eyes widened as he realized what he just said. And so did everyone else.

Kirishima slammed his hands on the table as he stood up, "WHERE'S MIDORIYA?!"

"OH MY GOD HE WAS SHOT!"

"WHAT HOSPITAL WAS HE IN AGAIN?!"

"SOMEBODY GET MR. AIZAWA ON THE PHONE!!"

"IS BAKUGOU WITH HIM?!"

"I CANT BELIEVE WE FORGOT HIM!!"

"IS HE OKAY THOUGH?!"

"EVERYBODY CALM DOW—!!"

"PAAAANIIIIIIIIIIIC!!"

So, in short,

They remembered.

~O~

Back in Izuku's mindscape, the boy wasn't fully freed just yet.

The mirror cracked beneath the skin of his hand.

"Wake up..." Shimura repeated her words, her eyes directly locked with Izuku's emerald green ones.

He begin to have a jittery feeling. Maybe that's just what happens when you finally wake up after a long time? Maybe he should just close his eyes and let his predecessors help him out? For once, maybe he should just accept some help from the others? It sure sounded nice. He already have to apologize a lot once wakes up for causing everyone so much trouble despite none of it was actually his fault.

But for now, he just closed his eyes and smiled.

...

｢ Ǹ̵̶̷̵̷̢̡̧̀͘̕͟͝͡Ơ̸̧̡̕͟͜͡͠T̵̸̷̴̵̨̡̛́̕̕̕̕͢͝͠͠ ̶͡͏̴̴̧̨̡̛́̀́͟͜͞͠͠͝Ś̴̵̴̶̵́̀̕͘͜͢͟͢͞͞͠͞O̶͘͜ ̡͏̸̡͏̨̨̛͟͢F̶̵̸̷̧̧̨̛̛͟͢͡A̷̷̶̢̕͟͜͜͡͡͠S̷̶̛̀́͢͞͝T̶̸̢̡̨͢͏ 」

⚫⚫⚫

Izuku's eyes widened as he frantically turned around.

His alter ego had taken the form of a voice to get to him without covering any physical distance. And just when he thought this nightmare was over. How troublesome.

"Izuku!!"

"Huh? Wha—?!" The said boy gasped as he felt something pull him inside the half shattered mirror. Was it his predecessors who were pulling him in and possibly away from the voice?

He never got to know as he never got to see.

Everything went black, once again.

~O~

With a sudden jolt, Izuku sat up straight in his hospital bed.

Sweat lining his forehead, eyes wide, breathing heavily and the nurse who was trying to check his blood pressure appeared to be startled as well.

"U-Um... Sorry about that..." Izuku sheepishly smiled, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment.

"It's quite alright. I was done anyways." The nurse said, "Though you have some visitors. If you feel alright, we'd let them see you."

"Mhm. Just a headache, I think... Can I see them?"

"Of course."

And without another minute wasted, the room was filled with all of Class-1-A, Aizawa and All Might surrounding the feverish green haired boy. Some still concerned while the others were relieved that the boy was alive.

Some people — Kirishima and Kaminari — were teasing a certain ash blonde about being the hero who were later on dragged out of the room by the same blonde for some.... Storytime. Ashido mumbled 'rest in peace' after they disappeared from their sight.

There might or might not have been an apology competition between the green haired boy and a certain retired number one hero. All in all, everyone was happy that their resident cinnamon roll wasn't going anywhere for the time being.

"Don't you dare do that again." Aizawa reprimanded Izuku, ignoring everyone else who was dramatically crying.

"I'd try not to!" Izuku smiled.
