Hi everyone! Katsuki isn't really present during this arc, so I'm not going to reveal too much of the action. Watch the anime or read the manga for exciting backstories! We love Horikoshi Kohei!
~~~~~
The rescue mission to save Eri had finally ended. You watched as the small girl continuously reverted time for Midoriya as he sustained great injuries.
"Smart." You muttered as they fought mid-air.
"Blue Cross! Your sidekicks aren't here!" Ryukyu yelled from within the hole she had created. You ran to the edge of it and carefully scanned the area for the pro heroes you had worked with. It was true—they weren't there.
"Nighteye!" You spotted Uraraka carrying the severely injured hero upwards.
"Bring him up here!" You yelled into the hole while waving in the direction she should be heading. "We'll send him to the hospital!" As soon as you spotted the spot where he had been impaled, you covered your mouth in fear. "His vital organs..."
"That's why you're here." Blue Cross laid a hand on top of your head. She was unfazed by the situation. "You haven't been studying anatomy for no reason."
She was right. Your quirk was perfect for piecing bodies back together post-surgery. So you should be able to fix his too... but his missing organs were nowhere to be found. It was likely that he would be stuck with artificial ones.
"You..." You heard Nighteye utter as he stared at you. "All Might's... daughter."
"How do you know?" Your eyes widened.
Ever since you were little, your adoptive father had kept you in the dark about his hero affairs. Since Nighteye had used his foresight on All Might, the pro hero was aware of your existence, but you weren't aware of who he was.
"I will ride back to the hospital on the first ambulance with Nighteye." Blue Cross informed you. "You should come on the second along with any of your friends who were injured. I'll leave the other heroes in charge of this situation for now."
"Yes." You nodded obediently.
You ran over to Midoriya, who had collapsed on the ground, and motioned for the medics to bring a stretcher over for the girl on top of him. Eraser Head was adamant about riding with Eri since he was able to erase her quirk if it ever grew out of control, and you couldn't help but agree with his rationale.
"Kirishima!" You spotted the red haired boy being carried out and placed into an ambulance.
"Hey!" He smiled widely. "Bakubro is gonna be so mad we took all the action from him."
"That's so true!" You couldn't help but feel relieved at the fact that all of your friends were in stable condition.
As soon as everyone's injuries were assessed, you jumped onto the second ambulance with Kirishima, Fat Gum, Togata, and Amajiki. The whole time, Fat Gum was loudly expressing his worry for the U.A. students.
"You got pretty beat up." You joked with Kirishima.
"But I won, I think." The male was in deep thought. He raised a hand for you to high-five, which you did.
You laughed at this and caressed his cheeks with your hands.
"Can I use your energy for a bit?" You asked, wanting to heal his facial injuries—at the very least.
"Sure." He nodded. "If it means I'll still look manly."
You allowed for golden threads to be released from your fingertips and seep into Kirishima's head. Your energy was summoning his in order to piece the facial lacerations and bones back together. This took up his remaining energy, so he ended up passing out by the end of it.
"Did you know that Sir was All Might's sidekick?" Togata Mirio had asked you, but it was more like he was bragging.
You stared at him with wide eyes. "What?" You swore you could feel your heart drop into your chest. You began to understand how Nighteye might've known who you were.
"Sir Nighteye." He repeated, oblivious to your relation to All Might. "Isn't he awesome?" The upperclassmen cried out.
Amajiki supported his friend as he cried and you had to avert your eyes.
Upon your arrival to the hospital, you were summoned to the Operation Room. Blue Cross began performing the emergency surgery on Nighteye and desperately needed your ability to close the wound.
You swore that you would do anything to save him.
~*~*~
As soon as you stepped out of the operating room, you were frantically greeted by Bubble Girl and All Might. You quickly slipped out of your surgery gown and faced the two of them.
"How did it go?" All Might asked with an expression of obvious worry.
Tears began to stream down your face, so you constantly wiped away at them. "I did my best."
"How is Sir?" Bubble Girl asked. Her anxiety increased when she saw you burst into tears.
"I was able to put most things back together." You stared at the ground as you spoke to her. "But some of the most vital organs were already dead when I got to them."
"Then that means?" Bubble Girl had placed her hands on your shoulders eagerly.
"I'm sorry to tell you this..." You were choking on your tears. "He's not going to live much longer." You had to bite your lip at the sound of her sobs. "I've given him some of my energy." You informed her and she had to hold back her tears in order to pay attention. "We're going to bring him out of the operation room so that everyone can see him during his last moments."
Bubble Girl enveloped you into a hug. "Thank you for doing your best." She understood how hard it was for you—as a student—to tell her the news.
To her, Nighteye was an irreplaceable colleague. To All Might, Nighteye was an extremely close friend. To you, Nighteye was the first person you weren't able to save.
"As a hero, you will encounter victories and losses." All Might stroked the back of your head as you ran into his arms. "You will encounter..." The pro hero was trying to regain his composure. "You will encounter death."
"I'm sorry, dad." You began to understand how important Nighteye was to him as you felt his figure shake.
"When Nighteye's room is ready for visitors, we will allow you all in." Blue Cross interrupted, still dressed in her operation gown. "(Name) will lead you to our special waiting room for Hero Post-Op Visitation."
"Okay." You wiped at your tears and did as she instructed. You plastered a smile on your face. Although it was hard, you were still at your work study and needed to present a kind face to the grieving heroes. "Please follow me this way."
Once Nighteye was all set, Blue Cross invited everyone into the room.
It was hard for everyone to look at Nighteye for very long due to the plethora of tubes protruding from the gaping hole in his stomach.
All Might had dragged you and Midoriya into Nighteye's room.
"This is my daughter." All Might was on the verge of tears as he presented you to the pro hero.
"I know." Nighteye weakly replied through an oxygen mask. "I saw her when I used foresight on you."
"Nice to meet you, Uncle Nighteye." You couldn't help but tear up. This was a horrible way to be meeting someone for the first time. "I'm sorry..." It only felt right to apologize for not being able to save him, so you bowed.
"If you did your best, then it's not your fault." Nighteye patted your head gently "Thank you." He mumbled, then turned his attention to Midoriya.
After he said this, you had to leave the room. It was difficult for you to be present. You felt it wasn't fair for you to take up the remainder of his time when you barely knew him, so you allowed for the rest of his acquaintances to spend the remainder of his time with him.
You walked off to visit the other heroes who had been injured. Blue Cross gave you a list of patients who had retained enough energy for you fix their wounds.
Amajiki, Kirishima, and Fat Gum's shared room was first.
