Heroes Need Saving Too (BNHAxReader)

Chapter 122: Trust

I then gave my ten cents, "I mean, Nezu obviously does. He told you guys to practically babysit me." Yamada gave a snort as he tried to contain his laughter, knowing that it'd probably anger Aizawa even more.

"I volunteered for that." Aizawa deadpanned.

Yamada then echoed, "I?"

Aizawa then corrected himself, "We...we volunteered for that."

"Yes we did." Yamada said with satisfaction.

When we arrived at the hospital that felt like it was all the way on the other side of the city, we got out and went to the front desk as we followed Aizawa since he was the one who was in charge of this. When we got to her room, I for some reason felt nervous. I had no real reason to feel that way, I just did. I hated the feeling, but I toughed through it since I had no quirks at the time to suppress it. Anyways, when we made it to the designated room, Aizawa knocked on the door before we all entered. Since I was the last in the room, I closed the door behind us. When I turned around from the door, I saw that Eri was sitting up in bed and looking out the window. She wasn't looking so good; her face was red and she was breathing sort of heavy for how little she was.

I walked closer as Aizawa crouched down to her level and rested his arms on the side of the bed as he said, "Hello Eri, I'm going to be the one who'll be looking after you." He then glanced over his shoulder to look towards Yamada and I as he added, "They'll be looking after you too since they're with me." Eri looked to Aizawa, then Yamada before she began to stare at me, resulting in me giving the best kind and soft smile I can do. I knew that she's been through a lot so I didn't want to scare her. Aizawa took notice of her staring before whispering to me, "Why don't you introduce yourself."

I nodded my head as I began to walk closer slowly. Since I'm quite short, I didn't need to crouch down like Aizawa, so I stood there as I introduced myself. I kept the smile up as I said, "Hello there, I'm Y/N." She just kept on staring at me as if I wasn't there, though whenever I moved she kept her eyes on me. I slowly moved my hand towards her so I wouldn't scare her, "Are you alright?" I asked in a kind and soft tone, ensuring that I wouldn't frighten her. I felt her forehead with the back of my hand; it was severely hot. I knew that she had a fever, but it was beyond hot. I slowly moved my hand to her cheek as I tried to activate a quirk that allowed me to turn my hands cold.

She grabbed my hand, preventing me to pull back as she whispered, "It's so cold...it's so nice..."

I shot a look to Aizawa and Yamada, who could read the expression on my face that I was surprised my plan worked. I looked down and gave an overly happy smile as Eri put my hand on her other cheek and nestled into it as if it comforted her. I then began to feel something weird coursing through my whole being. I realized that she was using her quirk on me even though she wasn't trying to. I quickly looked to Aizawa and mouthed the words, "Erase her quirk." His eyes grew big upon realizing what I said and did what I sort of ordered. Once I felt the feeling dissipate, I hung my head with a sigh of relief, which made Yamada take a step towards me, making me raise my hand and motion to him that I'm alright.

"Y/N..." Yamada said in a shocked tone, making me raise my head to look at him. I hummed as if I was asking a question. "Your arm."

"What about it?" I asked as I looked at the arm that was connected to the hand that Eri was holding onto.

"No, your other one." He said.

I looked to my loose hanging sleeve as I asked, "What do you mean? It's not-..." I cut myself upon seeing my hand sticking out of my sleeve. It was smaller than normal, but it was there. Before I jerked my hand away from Eri, asked politely and kindly, "May I have my hand back, please?" She then reluctantly let go as she watched me.

I then right away pulled my sleeve back to look at my arm. It was truly skin and bones, making me fall to the ground onto my ass out of shock. It honestly creeped me out that something that looked like that was connected to my body. Out of disbelief I tried to shake my hand off of my being. Once I realized that it wasn't going to leave my arm, I stopped and stared at it.

"Are you okay?" Eri asked as she peeked around the side of her bed.

I stood up and dusted myself off as I said, "Yeah, never better."

Dude, you just freaked out a little kid with your reaction to your new arm.

'Hey, it's been forever since I've heard from you.'

I've found better things to do.

'How? You're the voice in my head.'

I have other things to do.

'Whatever.'

She put her hand out as if she was asking for my hand back. I looked to the other two as if I was asking if I should, but then they both nodded their heads once. I gave her my left hand and activated the cooling quirk as she put it back to her cheek. Aizawa then said in a kind tone so it wouldn't frighten her, "I believe I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Aizawa..." he then put his hand out towards Yamada as he if was pointing at him, "...and this is Yamada." Eri looked at them quickly before closing her eyes as she still held onto my hand. "When you get all better, we'll bring you to a home, alright?"

Her eyes shot open before she asked me, "Who's? Who's home?"

I looked to Aizawa, looking for answers. He then spoke up, "Our home."

She shook her head as she grasped tighter onto my hand, activating her quirk. I hunched over a little at the feeling, forcing myself to look up and erase her quirk myself. I took a few deep breaths as I recovered from her quirks effects before asking kindly, "Why not?"

"I'm scared....they'll hurt me...." she said timidly with fright in her voice.

I then tried to correct her, "They won't hurt you, not one bit. The ones who will hurt are still out there, but they will protect you. I'll also be there to protect you, though they'll do a better job. They've protected me so well that I'm no longer scared that someone will come and get me. So, that means you shouldn't be scared either." She looked to me with eager eyes, making me nod my head to enforce what I said.

"If you say they're good, then I believe it." she said as she held on even tighter to my cold hand.

We stayed a little while longer, but Yamada and Aizawa tried talking to her, though she didn't say much to them. She tried to talk more to me when I hoped that she would talk to the other two. When we had to leave, she didn't want me to go, but I promised her that I'd come back soon. I knew that I should keep that promise since she would then think I had abandoned her and that is the last thing that I want her to feel.

When we were in the car and going down the road, Aizawa asked, "Hey, Y/N, have you met her before? She seemed to take a liking to you while she's frightened of Zashi and I."

"No, I haven't met her before; this was the first time." I said.

"It's surprising that she'd allow you to touch her or get that close to her since the doctors and nurses can't even get a finger on her. Maybe it's a good thing that she trusts you. I know that I'm supposed to be the one watching over her, but I feel like you'll be the one to do that since she won't let go of you." he said as he rested his head on his hand.

"I'm sure she'll put trust in you guys pretty soon." I said.

"What makes you think that?" he asked.

I explained, "If she sees that I have trust in you guys, she will too, I think."

"She's right, Sho." Yamada said as he shot a glance towards Aizawa, who just nodded his head. "Hey, did you get your quirks already?"

I looked down to my tiny, slowly growing hand as I said, "I guess I did. It was a little over 24 hours, but I was expecting them to come back a few days from now."

"Eri's quirk must have allowed you to get them back so soon." Aizawa said.

"I understand that she doesn't have her quirk under control, but I'm fine having them back now. I don't have to struggle with one hand anymore." I said, looking at the bright side for once.

When we got back to the apartment I took a shower and got ready for bed before hitting the hay earlier than usual. I was even more tired from using a quirk so soon. I practically passed out as soon as I got under the covers.
