(Y/n) woke up in the infirmary room. Her head was throbbing and her eyes begged to close. But she took in her surroundings instead. A short old woman walked around a curtain that hung in between her bed and another patients bed for privacy.

The old woman's face lit up when she saw that the girl was finally awake. "Oh good! You're both up now. What excellent timing." She smiled when a familiar freckled face appeared behind the curtain.

"Aizawa! You're awake!" His smiled was warm and caring.

"D-Deku!" The girl shouted in shock as she sat up quickly only to have a piercing pain shoot up her back, forcing her to lie back down. "ah.. What happened? Are you alright?"

"Me? Am I alright? I should be asking you that!"

"You should be asking yourselves that.." Erasure head interrupted as he walked into the room with his hands in his pockets. His eyes looked more tired than ever. (Y/n) couldn't help but feel bad for stressing him out.

"(Y/n).." he smiled softly as he sat on the bed besides her. "I'm so glad you're okay."

Her cheeks grew pink with flush. "Thank you, Erasure.. and what about the girl?"

"The girl?"

"Yeah the girl under the rubble? I think she might have broken her leg before I got there.." (Y/n) said sullenly. If only she had gotten there sooner.

"Oh she's completely fine!" Recovery Girl chimed in as she hopped into her chair. "Just a sprained ankle. Nothing too serious. It looked much worse than it was. And would have been completely shattered if you hadn't come in at the Knick of time!"

(Y/n) smiled more so to herself while looking up at the ceiling. "Wait so.. did I pass the exam?"

"You'll find out in a week's time. For now just focus on resting. I will be taking you home in a few hours while Recovery Girl's quirk works on your back. You really held your own, kid." Erasure patted the girl's head gently.
"I'm proud of you."

Before she could say anything, she couldn't help but notice Deku's eyes tearing up and his lip quivering "That was so sweet I never knew Erasure Head could ever be such a softy."

"Who are you again..?" Erasure asked with genuine confusion causing Deku to fall back against his bed with exaggerated tears of sadness. "M-My name is Izuku Midoriya, sir. I am friend's with your daughter. We met the other day at the mall."

"Oh yeahh that's right.." Erasure exclaimed with a very monotoned voice. "I forgot."

"Alright Shota I think that's enough excitement for these two kids for one day. Let them rest so that they can go home later." Recovery Girl said while opening the door and showing Erasure out.

"I'll be back in a few hours, (Y/n). Get some rest."

"Gladly." She smiled and rested her tired eyes.

Not even an hour had passed when someone burst through the door. "I AM HERE-.."
"SHHHHHH!" Both Deku and Recovery Girl shushed All Might as he came in through the door.

"Miss Aizawa is sleeping!" Deku claimed as he pointed to the girl in the other bed with his thumb. "Apparently she protected someone from being crushed by a falling building! But she injured herself in the process.."

"Gee doesn't that sound familiar.." All Might teased as he deflated into his weaker form.

"All Might what are you doing? What if she wakes up and sees you!" Deku said in a harsh whisper, looking back and forth between the hero and the girl.

"Ah she's out cold. I'll be fine for a few minutes. Anyways.. we need to talk about One For All." All Might started as he sat down besides Deku's bed. "Your body clearly wasn't ready for all that power. You could've killed yourself." All Might whined.

The two talked about the quirk and the dangers of it if not trained or used properly. Deku had inherited All Might's quirk and was still learning how to control it.

Meanwhile.. (Y/n) did everything in her power to keep her eyes shut and to maintain her composure so that they didn't know their voices had woken her up.

All Might gave Deku his quirk? Oh shit oh shit oh shit.. I don't think I'm supposed to know that!?

A few hours had passed and (Y/n) was finally able to sit up with little to no pain. Deku was still out cold. "I guess his injuries were a bit more severe than mine.."

"Hey kid." Erasure popped in and was holding a bag of clothes for her. "You ready to go?"

The girl was looking at Deku for a while, as if studying. Deku inherited his quirk from All Might.. She couldn't decide if she wanted to ask him about it or not especially if it was meant to be a secret..

"(Y/n)?"

"Hm? Oh yes. Let me get dressed." She took the bag from Erasure and went to change in the bathroom. Once she was ready, the two left to their home. Her mind was filled once again with question after question. It was going to be a long night.

~~~

The next week did not go by fast whatsoever. Every morning (Y/n) would check the mail to see if the UA letter was sent yet. And of course everyday the answer was no. She had almost just about given up when one Tuesday after, Erasure handed a letter to (Y/n) in the middle of her eating.

"Oh yeah this came by Yesterday.." He said with his usual tired and monotoned voice. The girl nearly choked on her food as she grabbed the letter from his hand.

"Yesterday?! And you're only giving this to me now?!"

"I forgot." And with that, (Y/n) took off to her room and opened the letter. Inside was a little projector with her name written on it.

~(Y/n) Aizawa~

She popped the projector onto her bed and wrapped herself in a blanket while she waited for it to play.

"I AM HERE AS A PROJECTION!" All Might voice rang in her ears.

"All Might..?"

"Yes it is me! Truth be told I came here to this town to work as a teacher at UA! And my goodness, Young Aizawa. You passed your written exam with flying colors. And made it as the second highest score on your practical with 42 villain points and 60 rescue points! Congratulations!"

Her eyes started tearing up as she gasped "I..I made it!!" she practically jumped off her bed in excitement. She sprinted down the stairs and threw her arms around Erasure's neck. "I made it! I'm going to UA!"

"You say that like you're surprised. You did great." Erasure praised. "Amazing job."
