At home you were as happy as usual. When you sat at lunch with Uraraka and Izuku you were smiling. In gym you stayed ahead of your class, minus a few students. The only place you neglected to grin in, was class.

Your soul focus was on studying and preparing to be a hero. Your scores were high. Your GPA stable at a constant 4.0. However you just seemed to lack any sense of joy in your expression when you sat in the classroom.

People pointed it out to you. After the villain vs hero exercise where you fled the building and didn't come back, everyone was concerned by your bandages that tightly wrapped your limbs. You were silent and distant to their words. Nobody except Izuku, Bakugou and you knew what happened after you left.

You could feel his eyes drill into you day after day, his piercing gaze like daggers that trailed their pointed tips just below the skin as they scaled your spine. You shuddered and dutifully took your test. "Aizawa sensei!" You announced, breaking an uncanny silence that hung over the room as many of your fellow students continued to take your latest test on 'Morality in Varying Circumstances'.

"What do you want (Y/N)?" He asked, having become accustom to your loud interruptions.

"I've finished my test. I'd like permission to exit the room now until next class." You said calmly.

Normally, in an average classroom, the teacher would laugh and tell their student to sit down immediately. However, at UA it was much different. The teachers were used to oddities and encouraged students into them. "Any reason in particular?" He inquired, looking more closely at you.

"Something is irritating me. The best way to rid of its hindrance is to simply leave and return later." You informed him, shooting a sharp glance at Bakugou.

He sighed and nodded. "Fine. Turn in your test and leave. You have twenty minutes before you have to return. Go."

Nodding, you promptly gave him your test and moved to the window. Opening it wide, you heard gasps as you tilted out the window and fell to the ground. However you landed on your feet and stood, walking away as your classmates crowded to look at you. You could hear Aizawa sensei snap at them to return to their seats and you giggled. "Sorry sensei." You muttered.

You folded your hands over one another as you walked around the campus, taking rhythmic breaths as your eyes danced over the scenery. Beyond the walls of UA you could see the city skyline. You pondered the thought of thousands of people separated from you by a mere slab of concrete. Boundaries were easily resurrected between the world of heroes and the world of tame. Sometimes it baffled you how easily the two world collided.

You hesitated for a moment as mangled image of your mother glanced across your eyes. Your hand drifted to the ribbon and tugged gently, as though to make sure it was still as present as ever. You sighed and ran a hand through your hair. You checked your watch and groaned.

"Fifteen minutes..." You muttered. "I have to avoid him got fifteen more minutes."

You sat down with your back to a tree and closed your eyes. With the world blackened you listened closely to the world that surrounded you. A gentle breeze swept over you in the Autumn air, Winter's approaching cold biting it's end. The tree rustled with the swaying grass and you could feel yourself melt away into the blind, calming enjoyment of nature.

"Hey idiot!" A harsh tone bit, making your heart jump as you did.

You recognized the irritated tone anywhere and growled as you opened your eyes. Your lips remained shut as you looked up at Bakugou. His brow was furrowed in annoyance, his thin lips set in a grimace. "What do you want fire hazard?" You bit venomously, your stare as cold as steel as you watched him.
