Recap:
The officer arrived at the scene along with three of the U.A teachers. They were completely shocked. It was a scene of absolute destruction, acid covered the street devouring every solid object it could get its hands on, a few civilians were crying, burns of their legs, hands, feet, or clothes. And in the middle of it all was a statue and a girl. The girl was crying, tears running down her face, snot leaking from her nose. She had blood running from her suspended feet, knees, and upper arms. Snakes surrounded her form, all of them hissing at her, but not in a dangerous way, but in a way that made it seem like they were talking to her, calming her. But it didn't work she was just crying and hysterical.
Resume:
The officer called an ambulance for the citizens and the fire department to get the girl free of the statues grasp. While they waited the for the personnel the heroes just watched as the snake ice colored snakes took dirty and slightly burnt bandages from the street floor and wrapped it around her head, effectively hiding her eyes from the world.
When the fire department arrived they brought a helicopter which spread limestone powder over the area, using the base in the limestone to neutralize the acid into water and salt therefore rendering it harmless. The the hero's walked across the salt water to the snake girl. All of the snakes stood on edge pointed towards the possible danger, jaws open, and fangs dripping poison.
The R-rated hero Midnight tried using her quirks sleeping properties to calm the snakes but it didn't work, no the snakes were even more hostile if that was possible.
"We didn't come to hurt you!" Present Mic screamed, the girl winced at his volume through her ears causing one of the snakes to extend and try to nip his face. One of the heroes noticed the correlation.
"We came to get her out, we just want to help her so we can treat the burns from the acid, if we don't do it soon something bad could happen" Eraserhead explained to them, they relaxed a bit when they heard that the heroes were there to help their beloved host rather than hurt her. The snakes retreated back to her and allowed the heroes to come forward with the aid of the firemen to break the statues arms and hands to release the girl. When they did so the girl screamed and cried harder than she had beforehand causing the snakes to begin hissing at her again. Several of the blue, purple, and white snakes would nuzzle against her or wipe away her tears.
Whenever someone tried to touch the girls bandages the snakes would snap at them making it impossible. When the girl had been freed from her stone captor Eraserhead grabbed her, one had on her mid back and the other under her legs. He brought her directly to the waiting ambulance and with it recovery girl, who had come right over when Midnight called and explained the situation. Recovery girl kissed the young girl healing the worst of her injuries but leaving a few blister like scars. The girl still hadn't stopped crying so they put a shock blanket over her to comfort her and hopefully calm her enough that she could talk and call off her snakes.
Speaking of the snakes, Eraserhead noticed one extending itself and slithering across the concrete away from its host. He told Midnight and Mic to watch the girl then he followed the midnight blue snake down the street, to the left, a right, then another left and half way down that alley. Then it nudged a small box over just enough that it's head could slide through. He as it did whatever it was doing behind the box. The snake slithered back out with a small stuffed animal wrapped in its body, the size making it shift the box even further away from the wall and since the snake was on a mission it didn't bother to push the box back into its place. The snake didn't see Eraserhead and turns returning to it's host. Eraserhead quickly calls Mic and tells him to be on the lookout for the snake that just left him.
The hero then pushed the box all the way to the side and was shocked at what he saw, behind it there was a small section of bricks missing from the wall that lead to a room likely no more than three by five feet big. There wasn't much just a small bag with a couple scraps of bread, a pile of blankets in the corner furthest from the open wall, and some scraps of paper with attempts at writing and math on it. 'Was this where she lived?' he asked himself before replacing the box and returning to the where the girl was.
Eraserhead's long legs and capture weapon allowed him to get there before the darkly shaded snake returned. It he could see where the absent snake's base was on her head and he could see its head coming from around the corner at the end of the street. Flicking his eyes to the young girls pale face he was disappointed to find that she was still crying, at this point he just wanted to leave the work to Mic and Midnight and just go home and sleep but there was a tiny bit of him that wanted to know what was with her, why did she have bandages on her face? why did the snake go into that small room? Why did the girl keep crying? Why were the snakes so protective? He needed the answers and he couldn't get them by sleeping.
Mic pulled his sleeve and pointed to the snake that now was nudging the girls hands and trying to bring her attention to the package wrapped within its scaled body, it hissed at her and then the rest of them started hissing as well. She took the small animal into her hands and brought it to her face, nuzzling it against her smooth pale skin. Her sobbing slowed as she held the stuffed toy and the snakes hissed and flicked their tongues. It was like she could understand them and they were comforting her.
It took a while, nearly forty five minutes since she initially started calming down, to calm down completely. Midnight had taken to sitting right next her and being a shoulder to lean on like a mother would be.
When she stopped crying and hiccuping Eraserhead sauntered over to her lazily and sat on her other side, one of the snakes looked about ready to bite him when another stopped its companions attack.
"What's your name?" he questioned quietly and slowly so as no to startle her.
The snakes made as if to answer him when a quiet, slightly rough voice answered "I...Ish..i....Ishi" it sounded as if she rarely used her voice that or she hadn't at all in a very long time.
"What were you doing here?"
"Gr...ocer..ies" he had to be patient to get the answer which was something he wasn't particularly fond of.
"Why were you crying?"
"I....Ki..lle...ed....hi..m" she choked out, seeming like she was going to cry again. The snakes's hissing began once again and Midnight started rubbing her back in a calming manner.
"Can we take the bandages off?" the snakes stopped their doting and snapped towards him, mouths open and poison dripping once more. He assumed this meant no but he was still curious for her answer.
"No" it was the first thing shes said without stuttering or choking so he felt he should take it as a win but he wanted to find out more about her.
"Why?"
"I...don..t....wan..t t..o....k...ill...y..ou..too" so whatever she did to the man had something to do with either the bandages or her eyes, he liked the information he was getting.
"Did your eyes turn the man into a statue?" he inquired.
"Yes" she burried her covered eyes into her now drawn up knees.
"HEY ERASERHEAD I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING" Mic shouted accidentally using his quirk and making everybody present wince. "SHE'S LIKE THAT GREEK GORGON MONSTER, WITH THE SNAKES AND THE STATUES, I BET SHE TURNED THE DUDE TO STONE" Eraserhead turned to her, who knew that Mic could be so useful.
"Is that why you won't let us remove the bandages, you don't want us to turn to stone?"
She nodded then whispered "I ..wa...s so..cl...ose..to...h...ome...too,..I..did...n't....wa..nt to..hur..t...an...y..one..t..od..ay" her voice was fading, she hadn't spoken this much in such a long time, she couldn't keep it up for much longer.
"By home do you mean that room behind the box?"
She looked shocked for a minute before nodding. He sighed, "well we can't let you keep living there, especially with such a dangerous quirk, damn what should we do with you?" he questioned more to himself than anyone else.
"We could take her!" Midnight said jumping up. "I've always wanted a daughter and I bet Nezu wouldn't mind!" hearing that Mic piped up, the idea of having another body in the U.A. teacher apartment buildings was more than exciting and someone who got Eraserhead to stay at an emergency site for more than fifteen minutes was someone who needed to be kept nearby.
Ishi made no movement to refuse just seemed slightly upset. "Alright, then it's settled I will call Nezu on the way, Mic go pic up her stuff, since she didn't have much I'll bet she's attached to all of it" Eraserhead wrote the directions on a small scrap of paper before handing it to his long blonde haired friend. Then he pushed Ishi towards Midnight's outstretched hands. He left her in Midnights care and watched as they headed to the car without him, then he pulled out his phone.
"Hey Nezu, we got a situation here"
"Ah hello Aizawa, what's going on"
"There's a kid, she turned some scum into stone, she doesn't have anywhere to go so Midnight wants the kid to live with us"
"I assume there's something about the child that makes Foster Care a no-go" Nezu is suddenly more serious than he was before.
"She's got snakes, like Medusa from that weird foreign myth, nobody would want her and the snakes try to attack anyone who comes near her except weirdly enough, Midnight and at first me, she covers her eyes in bandages but I guess they came off and she accidentally killed the attacker, she doesn't talk much and she's pretty upset"
"I see, I guess she can live with us if that's what you three deem to be best, what's her name?"
"Whoever gave birth to her sure has some sense of humor, It's 'Ishi'"
"It must be like a cruel punch in the face to her, every time she tries to forget her power she gets reminded just from her name, I will see you soon Aizawa" the mentioned man turned back to the waiting car and started toward it.
A.N. To explain the last thing, I was looking for a word that means "rock" for her name because well, her parent (s) hated her and what would be better than to just shove that into her face? So according to my search "Ishi" is one of the forms of rock in Japanese.
