My Hero Academia: Mind Over Matter

BNHA Part 57

Midoriya look at the doctor and gave him a nod,to which Midoriya then quickly accompanies Mr. Aizawa as he walk down the halls to an elevator.

Mr. Aizawa:Sorry I couldn't be with you at the end when it counted. | Midoriya:It's alright. Please,tell me,how are all the others? How's Aeden? | Mr. Aizawa:Aeden's currently sleeping,getting his energy back after spending a large amount of it during your fight with Chisaki. I heard from Draco that he also suffered from his drawback,so it'll take a few hours before he wakes up again.

Mr. Aizawa:Kirishima's covered with bruises and lacerations from head to toe,but he'll live. Clyde has several broken ribs,with the rest being cracked. Amajiki cracked a bone is his face and he has some other minor injuries,but none of them should leave a scar. Fat Gum has a few broken bones too,but he seems mostly fine otherwise. Luckily,the blade that stabbed Rock Lock didn't hit any vital organs,so he should make a full recovery.

Midoriya:I'm so glad. Um,sir? What about Eri? | Mr. Aizawa:Still feverish and sleeping fitfully. She's being quarantined for now. | Midoriya:Quarantined? Really? So does that mean I won't be able to see her? | Mr. Aizawa:You know,they made that call based on your description on what happened back there. She got a dangerous quirk,and no control over it. If something provoke her enough to activate it again,I'm the only one who can stop her. You're only able to touch her cause you kept destroying your body faster than she can rewind it,right? | Midoriya:Yeah...

Mr. Aizawa:There aren't exactly a lot of people who can pull that off,and,even if there were,who's to say how powerful she really is? We have no idea what her limits are. | Midoriya:*looks down* I know what you mean. If you hadn't been there to make to stop,I-I'm not sure what would've happened. | Mr. Aizawa:Teaching her control will be especially hard since her quirk only seems to work on people. When your training on live subjects,the danger is exponentially greater. Her emotional state would be affected too. With so many unknowns,it make sense to keep her quarantined. For her sake as well as ours.

Mr. Aizawa:In other words,we can't depend on the girl or her quirk right now. | Midoriya:Huh? | Mr. Aizawa:All we can do is accept it. Now come on,some others have joined us.

Midoriya then sees All Might and Recovery Girl with Bubble Girl and Centipeder.

Midoriya:All Might! And you're here Recovery Girl? But why? | Bubble Girl:I asked All Might to come,because Sir... (tears shed from her eyes,and her voice begins to break) Sir always admired him so much...!

Doctor:There's nothing more we can do. To be honest,it's a miracle that he survived this long. | Recovery Girl:*somber* My healing can't help him either,he's too far gone for me to save. | Doctor:I'm sorry,but you should prepare yourselves. I don't think he'll live to see tomorrow.

The nurse opens the door. All Might and Midoriya walks inside the room with gloomy expressions coloring their faces.

All Might:I'm sorry... | Nighteye:ᴵˢ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ʸᵒᵘ,ᴬˡˡ ᴹᶦᵍʰᵗ...ˀ ʸᵒᵘ ᶠᵉᵉˡ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᵗᵃˡᵏᶦⁿᵍ ⁿᵒʷ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᴵ'ᵐ ᵒⁿ ᵐʸ ᵈᵉᵃᵗʰᵇᵉᵈˀ | All Might:I don't know what to say...I was wrong.

Mirio:Sir!!! | Midoriya:Togota!? | Mirio:*limps toward Nighteye's hospital bed* Don't give up! Please,keep fighting!

Weakly,Nighteye slowly raise his right hand and cupped Mirio's cheek,and activates Foresight one last time,seeing into Mirio's future.

Nighteye:ʸᵒᵘ'ˡˡ ᵇᵉ ᵒᵏᵃʸ. ʸᵒᵘ'ʳᵉ ᵍᵒᶦⁿᵍ ᵗᵒ ᵇᵉᶜᵒᵐᵉ...ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᶦⁿᵉˢᵗ ʰᵉʳᵒ ᵗʰᵉ ʷᵒʳˡᵈ ʰᵃˢ ᵉᵛᵉʳ ˢᵉᵉⁿ...ᵗʰᵃᵗ'ˢ ᵒⁿᵉ ᵖᵃʳᵗ ᵒᶠ ᵗʰᵉ ᶠᵘᵗᵘʳᵉ...ᵗʰᵃᵗ ˢʰᵒᵘˡᵈⁿ'ᵗ ᵇᵉ ᶜʰᵃⁿᵍᵉᵈ...

Then,Nighteye's pupils start to lose their color and increase in size. The dreaded sound from the heart monitor rang throughout the room. Rigor mortis has already settled in,holding Nighteye's smile as he passes...
