~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was jolted out of my sleep- which I hadn't even known I had fallen into- by Midoriya's voice in the hallway. He was squaling over something about a voice on the phone.

The door slid open, revealing Midoriya as he leaned on his crutch. I quickly sat up, my messy hair falling into my face, since it was down from its ponytail for once. I watched Midoriya step back into the room, limping on his crutch.

"Oh, Iida, just now, Uraraka said-" Before the boy could finish, Todoroki cut him off.

"Midoriya. Iida just finished getting examined. It's a good thing you're awake now Doku, we were about to wake you up." Todoroki stated, and I tensed, becoming more aware of my surroundings at the news. I brought my arm up to my face, wiping the drool from my chin.

"My left hand might have long-term damage..." Iida muttered, looking down at his arms. My eyes widened as I slid to the edge of my bed.

"Long-term damage?!" Midoriya repeated, just as concerned as I was.

"Both of my arms were pretty beat up, but it looks like the damage
to my left arm was especially severe. There was damage to my brachial plexus. But it just means that I'll have
trouble moving my hand and fingers and experience some numbness. Apparently, there's a possibility that it
can be healed with nerve transplant surgery." He explained, a small sad smile appearing on his face.

"When I found the hero killer, I stopped being able to think. The first thing I should've done was tell Manual. But I forgot myself in my anger. I hate him, but he spoke the truth." He continued, and figured he was talking about Stain.

"That's why, until I become a true hero, I think I want to leave my left hand as it is." Iida finished and I inhaled sharply.

"Are you sure about this?" Todoroki asked, shooting him a surprised look.

"Tenya..." I mumbled, staring at Iida. He slowly met my gaze, giving me a reassuring look. As if telling me not to worry. Who the hell is he to tell me not to worry?! Acting like this is fucking nothing?! It's my fault he's hurt. If only I had gotten there sooner. If only I had stopped him before his internship.

God dammit shut the hell up! Even my thoughts are wallowing over this dumb shit! Iida doesn't need this right now.

"Iida. I feel the same way." Midoriya spoke up, lifting his fist, staring at the scars running across his hand. "Let's become stronger. Together."

The two boys looked at eachother for a moment, sharing a sense of resolve.

"I feel... kind of bad..." Todoroki suddenly spoke.

"Huh." I narrowed my eyes at the boy, staring at him in confusion.

"About what?" Midoriya asked, looking over at him.

"I feel like if I get involved... other people mess up their hands... Is it a curse?" He muttered, looking at his own hand. I blinked, processing his words.

Then suddenly, all three of us busted out into laughter.

"Todoroki, I didn't know you could make jokes!" Midoriya choked out between laughs.

"What an idiot!" I snickered as Todoroki looked at us in confusion.

"No, I'm not joking. I'm like "The Hand Crusher" or something!" Todoroki argued, genuinely believing he was cursed. This only caused us to laugh harder at him.
