[LONELY IN CROWDS]
[Name] had a grin plastered across her face as she walked through the school in stolen pants. She never exactly expected a night filled with bruises and not so good decisions could lead to having someone legitimately care about her well being. Though it was something that was strangely uncomfortable which thusly caused her to ditch him as to be able to climb over a giant wall for absolutely no reason. And to come with her triumphant success of being able to do something that she most likely should not be doing, she fell directly down onto a purple ball of death. Shinso, of course, was not pleased by the turn of events as this was one of the few days that he was alone and somewhat happy being so. Groaning he pushed her off of himself his annoyance washing away and turning into a mixture of concern and horror as he stared at her battered, cut and bruised body. He understood from their vague meeting that she was a vigilante but this wasn't what he thought would happen to someone. "How did this happen to you?" his voice is almost a whisper as he waits for a needed response.
"In my defence, you left me alone for a whole day." She smiled brushing herself off, unwilling to answer him.
"[Name], you're covered in bandages and have a massive bruise near your scar, this is bad. How long have you been covering this?!" He pleads, attempting to make her realise that she was damaging herself by doing this. [Name] tensed looking down at herself, she had already understood but she didn't want to face it.
"I've done this for so long that it doesn't even hurt anymore." she hisses attempting to cover her bandages with her hands as Shinso's eyes widen.
"Aren't you afraid of dying?"
"Not really. My life's already a living hell; I'd like to see what the actual hell has to offer." [Name] mumbles, head hanging as Shinso approaches already excepting the worst she tenses. Yet instead, warmth floods over her as in shock she finds that Shinso has her trapped in a hug.
"You are so dumb," He mummers, as tears brim on the edge of [Name]'s eyes. "please- please don't ever do this to yourself again, because even if it doesn't look like it I do care."
"I can't make promises, but I'll try." Shinso releases her staring at her for some time to make sure she wasn't lying, backs away.
"Fine now go, class is going to start in a few minutes." Shinso left with [Name] in slight shock before she ran off hoping that Aizawa wouldn't skin her alive for being late.

[Name] walked in with an immediate reaction from a few students, mainly a panicked Izuku, concerned Momo and an ecstatic Kirishima and Mina. Stumbling back startled, Momo caught her in the gentlest way possible, "[Name]! Are you ok, you didn't come back to class and- You're still hurt, didn't you see Recovery Girl?!" Momo stated concern flooding over her.
"I did, I'm just a clutz!" [Name] laughs sweatdropping, "I tripped and fell down a hill on my way home, I'm just glad Izuku was able to help me after!" Momo gave her a questioning look as she set [Name] down.
"Those look a little serious for just a fa-" Momo was quickly cut off by Mina bouncing forward.
"Your fight was so cool [Name]!" admiration filled Mina's eyes. "I really didn't think you would be able to manage against Icy-Hot but you did!"
"It was so manly!" Kirishima chimed in before [Name] was quickly pulled away by Izuku. [Name]'s aura of pride faded away as she witnessed Deku's face, it was ridden with concern and panic. It broke her heart to see someone worried like this over her own choice to disappear.
"Where did you go?" he mummers, already muttering under his breath.
"God I'm so sorry Zuku, I just was uncomfortable and did something more my speed." Izuku still stared at her wishing for a slightly more acceptable answer. "Fine, I jumped the wall." Izuku's eyes widen before he realised who he was talking to and his expression shifted to annoyance. "What haven't you done something illegal before?" Izuku sighs moving over to his desk while forcing her to do the same as Aizawa walks in.
"I hope you're all rested from yesterdays battle trial. I took the liberty of looking at your marks and evaluation. " Aizawa places down a hefty stack of papers before looking up and staring down Bakugou. "Bakugou, stop acting like a 7-year-old, you're wasting your own talent."
"...I know"
"And you-" his hollow gaze shifted to Izuku who became frozen in fear. "Are you always planning on destroying your arm? If you keep going "I can't adjust my quirk so I have no choice" you'll never get terribly far. I've said it before and don't make me say it a third time."
"Yes, sir." Izuku seemed to squeak relief spreading until his eyes shot to [Name].
"[Name] you ne-" He paused squinting at her. "How did you even manage to get yourself more damaged after recovery girl." A smile crossed her face as Aziawa shook his head already done with it. "Now let's get onto the homeroom notices. I'm sorry that I have to spring this on you but- we need to pick a class president."
"Finally something school like!" a flurry of shouts echoed throughout the class all claiming that they wanted to be class president, while [Name] felt herself fall into a pit of if I get picked the entire class is gonna die. A shout broke up the screeches that seemed to alert the entire school.
"Be quiet!" Iida's stern voice forced everyone to turn their heads. "The only truly worthy leader will emerge from a democratic choice reflecting the will of the people! Which is why this must be settled by a vote!! Is that alright Sensei?!" Aizawa was already slunk into a sleeping bag.
"As long as you decide by the deadline anything is fine."
[Name] sat slouched at her desk as the votes were drawn up on the chalkboard and was interrupted by a shocked shout of a wild Izuku. "I GOT THREE VOTES?!" [Name]'s head shot up staring at the board and squinted realising that she somehow managed to gain two points tying her for vice president with Momo. So as to avoid any further problem [Name] quickly smiled at Momo before shouting
"As to not kill the class with my leadership skills at the same level as a blind hamster, I believe Momo would be a better Vice pres so I'm giving her my extra vote." pushing her up next to Izuku and whispered "Thank me later~"
"So then it's president Midoriya and Vice-president Yaoyorozu." Aizawa sighed allowing everyone out to lunch as Iida angsted in the corner in a way that could put Tokoyami to shame.

Sighing she pulled Momo out with her ready to drag her into the cafeteria until she felt phone vibrating. [Name] stopped allowing Momo to collect to herself as she checked the caller ID. Reading the name she blanched, Ine only ever called her if it was important and with the fact that she had already missed one it meant it was serious. Already regretting what she would have to, she turned to Momo. "I'm so so sorry Momo but some- family stuff has come up and I need to take this." Momo's face drops disappointment crossing her features before a smile tells her to go "Thank you" [Name] quickly raced over to the bathrooms and locked herself inside and answering.
"Thank fuck you finally answered" Ine sighed tension able to be heard even through the phone. "Look, I need you to be somewhere safe my boss is doing something stu-" A roaring siren screamed throughout the echoey room.
"What the hell is that!" [Name] ducked down moving to the corner of the room, panic spreading through her body
"Dammit, sweet-heart you're going to have to take a few deep breaths and listen to me. It's only a security alarm, my boss had the smart idea to get in but this isn't why I called." Ine muttered making sure her adoptive daughter was calm enough to make rational thoughts.
"A- Alright, what do you want now?" The shake in [Name]'s voice fading and being replaced with a stern tone.
"We need more bodies." [Name] already becomes annoyed.
"I thought I already told you that I don't do work like that, I'm not a number Ine."
"I- I know he's requested you to be apart of the operation as a leader- a leader of my division."
"Oh- I'll think it over then."
"Please just say yes."
"I-" she pauses desperate to say no "Alright"
"Thankyou- thankyou so much." The call quickly ended leaving [Name] alone with the sirens still blaring. She silently made her way to the door opening it to see a rush of thousands of student running to the exit causing her to promptly close and lock the door again choosing to just wait it out till class.
