~Ellie's POV~

Toshinori and I were out of the loop on a lot of things now. Everyone thought it best to leave us be so we could focus on our family. We didn't know much about what was going on in the world as our focus was solely on babies.

I woke with a start in the middle of the night as both of our phones started to go off. Toshinori reached for his phone and I swiped mine off the dresser ready to chew out whoever had woken me. I glanced down at the screen, Aizawa's name flashed across it.

"Ellie...I need you to get to the hospital, as soon as you can." Shota spoke before I even answered, instantly turning my rage to worry.

"What happened?" I asked him worried.

"A lot...we can talk about it when you get here."

"Alright, I'm on my way." I said at the same time as I heard Toshinori say the same thing to whoever had called him.

We hung up and looked at each other. "Hospital?" We said in unison before grimacing. Something was wrong if we were both being summoned.

The babies were sound asleep and stayed asleep as we put them in their carrier and made our way to the hospital. There were a lot of heroes in the main lobby, including several students from UA that were interning. Some were injured. Toshinori and I exchanged looks not sure what was going on. I didn't like being kept out of the loop and I had a bad feeling someone we knew was severely injured.

I heard a commotion from the opposite end of the lobby and in the next moment I saw a blur of white before a familiar childish face appeared in my line of sight, Eri! She ran toward me, I handed Toshinori the carrier and caught her in my arms as she took a running leap toward me. She wrapped her small bandaged arms around me and buried her face in the crook of my neck. A moment later I saw a worried Shota and Midoriya come running in our direction and assumed they must have been keeping an eye on her. They both looked momentarily surprised to see Eri in my arms.

"Someone care to explain what's going on?" I scowled at Shota as I hugged Eri's trembling form close and gently rubbed her back to console her. She was absolutely terrified, there were so many intimidating people here.

People looked in our direction making her even more anxious. I sighed and activated my quirk causing a strong wind to swirl around us pushing everyone else away from us.

"Ellie, this is a hospital! You can't do that." Shota snapped at me.

"I can, I did, and I'll do it again, they're making Eri anxious." I growled before looking to the baby carriers in Toshinori's arms, Eli and Nana had woken up. I smiled at the infants, "listen up parasites, if anyone gets close to big sister Eri, zap em."

Toshinori stared at me in awe for a moment, "you think that'll work?"

"Dunno." I shrugged and turned to one of the random local heroes nearby, "hey pal, come here."

The hero looked to me curiously and approached me, once he got within reach of Eri, Eli and Nana zapped him.

"Taser babies are so convenient." I smiled as I continued to rock Eri in my arms. She seemed to be calming down.

"What the hell, man?!" The hero who'd been zapped snapped at me only to be zapped again.

"You've served your purpose, run along." I shooed him off. Eri's tiny frame slumped in my arms and I glanced down and smiled as I realized she'd fallen asleep clinging to me.

Toshinori smiled as he noticed Eri sound asleep, "you've always had a way with kids."

Shota smiled and relocated us away from the others so he and Midoriya could explain everything that had happened with Overhaul. By the time he finished his tale, Toshinori was pale. I threw a dark look at Shota and Midoriya, for leaving me out. They shouldn't have gone up against Yakuza without me.

"You should have called me." I scowled at them.

"It came up..." Shota noted.

"But Sir Nighteye said no..." Midoriya added.

"Idiot." I grumbled under my breath and looked to Toshinori; he was white as a sheet. Nighteye wasn't going to survive the injuries he'd sustained against the Shie Hassaikai. "Toshinori, you should go see him, you too Midoriya." I snapped them both out of their melancholy state.

"You should go too, Ellie." Shota noted as he took Eli and Nana from Toshinori.

"I'm the last person he wants to see right now." I hissed at him before ushering Midoriya and Toshinori in the direction of the patient rooms.

Toshinori and Midoriya both threw helpless looks in my direction. I sighed and shifted Eri in my arms so that I could support her with one arm before taking Toshinori's hand in mine. Shota took Eli and Nana giving me a nod to reassure me he'd take care of them. As we got to the maze of patient rooms, I spotted a familiar boy, I'd met him briefly in Nighteye's office, his name was Mirio. He was in a hospital gown, heavily bandaged and pacing outside a door. I assumed that was where Nighteye's room was.

He looked up as we approached, his gaze fell on Eri sound asleep in my arms and I thought I saw a small trace of a smile grace his lips. Midoriya panicked upon seeing the older boy on his feet.

"Ah! Should you be out of bed?!" He yelped anxiously before muttering incoherently about the boy's condition.

"Judging by the hospital staff searching for him, I'd say that's a negative." I noted as I spotted a few frantic nurses scouring the halls in search of something. They spotted Mirio and rushed over. I sighed, the boy looked so torn and broken, he was waiting to see his mentor. The nurses tried to get him to return to his room and I sighed as I realized I had to help him. "Give him a minute!" I snapped at the nurses. They jumped at my outburst and reluctantly stepped away. "Well, are we going in?" I asked the boys as I looked to the door.

They were all too hesitant each one of them already grieving for the loss of a friend and mentor. I sighed again and hurled the door open in a gust of wind. Guess I was going first. Nighteye was lying in a hospital bed, he looked sickly and pale and was wrapped heavily in bandages and had a plethora of tubes and IV's connecting him to various machines and medications. His eyes fluttered open and he looked to the door. I saw him smile as he spotted me.

"Motherhood looks good on you, Ellie." His voice was weak.

"Death doesn't look good on you...have you considered not dying?" I felt my heart growing heavy as I looked at all the monitors he was connected to. It didn't look good; he didn't have much longer.

Nighteye smiled again, "I did, but it's almost time..."

"It wouldn't be if you'd just called me for help you, dumbass." I growled.

"But then, that big oaf might have died..." a coughing fit claimed him and blood spilled from the corners of his lips, "it was supposed to happen within the next year, but I underestimated you, Ellie, like everybody else, if he has you, he'll survive..."

"Of course, he will, Death has another thing coming if he thinks he can take my family from me." I smirked.

Nighteye smiled, "I don't need to tell you this, I already know you will, but keep your family safe, Ellie..." his gaze drifted to Eri asleep in my arms, "I think she'll make a great addition to the Might family."

I couldn't help but smile, "me too, the parasites have already accepted her."

"Whatever divine being thought it was okay to give you taser babies is a cruel and careless individual." He chuckled.

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." I rolled my eyes and looked back at the door knowing the others were waiting, "ready for waterworks? I'm pretty sure the other three are going to be a wreck..."

Nighteye smiled and nodded, "one more thing Ellie...could you help Mirio?"

"I would have, even if you didn't ask, I can tell he's an idiot too. They all need looking after, those damn idiots."

"Indeed, they do, but I know you'll do a great job." He said weakly and a single tear slipped from my hold.

I straightened myself up and stepped out of the room. The three blubbering idiots made their way into the room one by one. My heart broke as I saw Midoriya and Toshinori return in tears, Mirio had stayed a little while longer so Nighteye could use his quirk, one last time. I held my free arm out to them and felt my heart stutter in my chest as they both hugged me and cried against me. Once Nighteye had passed, Mirio joined in the sobbing pile. It took all I had to keep from crying, I needed to be strong for these three soft-hearted idiots. Gentle winds rustled through their hair and tenderly wiped away their tears as fast as they could fall.

As my heart continued to crumble as I struggled to support the three sobbing idiots, I uttered a silent prayer to my brother Eli, please take care of that idiot in the afterlife, I don't want him to be alone. I thought I felt a gentle caress and noticed a single tear had slipped from my hold, it appeared to be wiped away by an invisible finger. I felt the gentlest of brushes against my temple, a slight chill and then nothing. Thank you, Eli.
