Heroes Need Saving Too (BNHAxReader)

Chapter 22: Still a little child

All Mights POV:

When Y/N was little, I went over to check on her at least three times a week. After about three years of going to check on her, she finally trusted me enough to give me a spare key just in case something ever happened. When she gave me the key and explained her reasoning, I told her that I hope I would never have to use it. Though I never knew when I'd have to use it, I kept it in my wallet at all times.

As she grew older, I started to give her space, and only visited once or twice a week. I still do, even if I see her during the day, we still meet up. I guess that it is true, I do act like a parent towards her and now young Midoriya too. Well, that's besides the point. When I went to visit Y/N, no one was home. I sent a text and waited a while, to which I got no response. She always responds as soon as she receives it. I also know that she wasn't on hero duty cause I knew her schedule and today she had the day off. It is also our normal day to meet up. If she was busy, she would have texted me or let me know otherwise. I knocked on the door once more and waited a minute or two before getting out the key that she gave me so many years ago.

Just as I opened the door and pulled out the key, I announced, "Y/N? I'm coming in."

I entered and walked around to see where she was. My first thought was to check the bathroom. I knew that she was struggling and the first thing that popped into my mind was that she tried to end it all. I let out a sigh of relief when I saw that the bathroom was empty. I then checked the rest of the apartment. There was no hide nor hair of her. I started to question where she would have gone. Noticing that her apartment key was still up on the hook and her phone was on the coffee table, I began to worry. Those are two things she would never leave without, even if she did teleport somewhere.

I started to panic and run towards the door as I activate my quirk. When I got outside I jumped and was sent soaring. I tried to go all over the area by just jumping from roof to roof. After ten minutes, I decided to make my way towards the docks since there were a few warehouses that people could still get into. I checked each and everyone of them. Of course, the last one that I had to check showed signs of life.

'Hopefully she'll be in here.'

Just as I got closer, I started to hear familiar voices. Instead of just walking in through a door, I decided that I mustn't wait, I must get in as fast as I can to help her. I busted through a rusted panel on the roof and landed near the middle of the warehouse.

"Where are you, Y/N?!" I paused to see if anyone would respond. I then saw a Nomu, one of which I presumed belonged to Shigaraki. "Shigaraki! Come out!" I demanded, but it was no use, the only thing that moved was the Nomu, and was now moving in my direction. As I was looking in the direction of the large beast, I saw Y/N lying there in rough shape. Her skin was cut in many places causing her to bleed, her neck was bruised, her face had blotches of deep purple, a swollen black eye, and blood running from her nose. My heart sank as soon as I saw her in this state.

"Are you able to move?!" I yelled to her with worry clearly in my voice.

In a whisper that was barely audible, she said, "I-I'm f-fine" then closed her eyes and just laid there.

Strangely, instead of sadness, anger overcame me. The beast stopped next to some crates as if it was waiting for me. I didn't waste anymore time. I hurled my body towards it, sending it flying in one punch. It seemed that the impact of the punch didn't affect it, it just got up and tried to fight. My anger got the best of me, causing me to lose control over my quirk. I punched it repeatedly, over and over again until there was nothing left of it; nothing but a pulp that was now its remains. I didn't remember much from the fight since I was so angry. All I remembered was punching it over and over again, and how it looked in its final form: practically a puddle.

I found something to wipe my hands on and walked to Y/N as I shrunk back to my normal size. I kneeled down to feel her pulse. She was freezing cold but her pulse was there, awfully slow, but there.

I asked in a soft tone, yet not quite a whisper, "Y/N? Are you awake? Can you move?" There was no response. I tried to gently pick her up, and as I tried, I heard bones popping and cracking. The sound sent a chill down my spine. I activated my quirk once again and made my way to the hospital with Y/N in my arms.

When we made it to the ER a nurse ran up to me and asked what happened. I explained that I wasn't too sure since I truly didn't know what actually happened. The nurse yelled for someone to bring a stretcher. Once it arrived, I gingerly laid her on the stretcher and watched as they ran off with her down a long corridor. I figured that I should wait there in the waiting room until I get informed that she can have a visitor. I decided that I should also switch out of my quirk. I walked to the bathroom, locked the door, inactivated my quirk, then waited a minute until I walked back out.

It felt like days that I sat there when in reality it was just hours; six hours actually. Around one o'clock in the morning was when the same nurse from earlier told me that Y/N was put in a room and that I would be able to see her, but she wouldn't be awake for who knows how long. I told the nurse that I would go to her room and wait there. She then led me there.

When we got to the door of the room, she got paged to see another patient, and said before walking off, "I'm sorry, I have to see another patient. Her diagnosis is on the clipboard at the foot of her bed. Please, feel free to look at it since I won't be able to explain it. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to try to find me."

I then entered the room alone. As I quietly close the door, I said quietly, "It's just me, Y/N." I looked slowly around the corner, not sure as to what I would see. My heart was already so low with seeing her in the state she was before now, but now my heart was so low I don't think it was in my being anymore.

Her arms and a leg were wrapped up in casts, her face had just regular white bandages wrapped around it, and a brace around her neck. I sat on the sofa and waited until she woke up. That's when my mind started fo wander. How did this happen? Why didn't she use a quirk to defeat the Nomu or to heal herself? Was the reason that they took her was because they wanted to finish what they started? How were they able to take her?

While I was sitting there on the couch, I fell asleep and didn't wake up till the alarm on my phone woke me up, telling me that I should go to work at UA. I debated if I should go, but I started to think, what if Y/N wakes up. I don't want her to be alone, especially now since she is vulnerable. I then called Principal Nezu.

"Principal Nezu speaking." He answered after a few rings.

"Hello, it's me, Toshinori. I'm afraid that I won't be able to come to work today." I tried to explain but I was then cut off by Nezu.

"Oh, what happened? I don't think you had a fight yesterday, it wasn't your scheduled day for hero duty." He sounded interested.

"Well, I guess that Y/N got attacked again and now she's here in the hospital. I saved her yesterday. I'd rather explain it later in person."

"That's fine, keep guard over her, she has to be since she isn't in the best of state to fight if she has to. Well then, I'll tell her teachers that she won't be in class. If anyone asks about her whereabouts, should I just tell them that she's on hero duty as a fill in?" He said, calm as ever.

I let out a sigh before I say, "Yeah, that'd work, but tell her teachers what really happened and to tell anyone to ask about her that she's filling in. I don't want people to worry and show up here. I'm sure that she'd feel the same way."

He then said, "Alright, will do, Toshinori. Till then."

I said before we hung up, "Right, goodbye"

I then let out a sigh as I slid my phone back into my pocket.

I whispered out loud for some reason, as if I was hoping she would be able to hear me, "I wonder when you'll wake up. I hope it's soon."

I then closed my eyes again and fell asleep as I waited for Y/N to wake up. As I was falling asleep, I started to think about her when she was little. It made me smile. In my eyes, she's still that little child that learned to grow up too fast.
