Lily's POV

Goddamnit. I'm so tired. Half-awake with my eyes still closed, I sit up, hearing explosions going off.

"AP Shot: Auto Cannon!... I made my special weaker so it could go against people." I hear my boyfriend growl out.

"Man, everyone hates you for the same reason!" Huh? Hate Katsuki? What does that mean? "Those gross things scattered around... are going back?!" Gross things? Huh? What's going on?

I open my eyes only slightly for them to only widen as I see what was happening in front of me only by a few yards. A Shiketsu kid was attacking both Kaminari and Katsuki... wait where is Eijiro?!

Fully aware and awake for the moment I stand up and start frantically looking for my brother. "Eijiro?! Kat where's Eijiro?!"

The assumed older boy activated his quirk, sending skin-like fingers our way. Katsuki immediately blocking another round with his AP shot. Running in and attack as my attention was drawn to another source. Kaminari looked back to me and pointed to a blob next to our attacker.

In it, I could see Eijiros red eyes and hair. My mouth dropped open and I felt myself pale. "Eijiro?" I whispered fully of shock.

"Oi! Focus on the fight dry eyes!" I knew what he meant by that, honestly who wouldn't. He wanted me focused so he doesn't have to save my ass again. Boys. Honestly.

But right as I was going to activate my quirk... and before I could even focus on what was going on around me, I felt something wrap around my neck and behind my head. Looking over I see Katsuki in the same position, freaking out.

This feeling.

Nomu.

My eyes widen and I scream, terrified I claw at the substance as I could only see the USJ at this point.

Nomu was here.

Was I going to die this time?

"Someone! The Nomu! Help!" I screech.

I look over and see Midoriya's widening eyes as I watch the Shigaraki place his fifth finger down on my neck.

I remember the burning sensation so clearly. No! No no no no no! Go away! I screamed in my head as darkness washed over my eyesight and fought for control as my body went limp.

I don't wanna die! Somebody help! Please! Dad, help me!

And just as soon as the darkness took over the light was brought back. I could see but tears were flowing down my eyes like waterfalls, making the world seem blurry. I looked around me, seeing that both Eijiro and Kat were back up while Kaminari seemed to be on the defense.

I realized that I was now laying on the ground, quickly I picked myself up and ran behind Kaminari.

"I swear he was here... Nomu was here... he was after me..." I kept muttering and looking around frantically. Looking for any sign of the hand-man and the bird-like creature. "He was here... he was here... he was here..."

Soon enough though, there were about a hundred kids turned back to normal. I didn't know what I had been doing as I blanked out. "Whoa!" Exclaimed Kaminari as my brother and boyfriend both got ready to fight them all.

"Looks like we've got targets." Targets? "Dry eyes, you finish that ultimate move?"

"Yes," I answered plainly, my voice breaking under the stress, understanding what he wanted I turned on my speakers while also making a clicking sound with my voice.

I focused on being long-range while taking parts of their stamina. "Go," I said when I knew they were at the weakest I could get them. With that Kat and Eijiro charged, while I went back to looking around in paranoia.

"Lily? You have those balls right?" Kaminari asked me softly, I turned back to him and I could see worry and concern on his face. I nodded slowly, still shaky, and panicky from seeing the thing that took almost everything from me.

"Use those to hit the targets on their body." He pointed towards the bundle of students Kat and Eijiro were holding back. I replied with a quiet okay and threw.

I blanked out after that, my mind unable to process what happened between the USJ and now. I wasn't even sure what was real and memory at that moment, overloading in fear and exhaustion.

I had seen him.

Nomu.

He was here and tried to kill me.

As we tagged the last of everyone out, securing our spots in the next round, I could only blankly stare at a wall while faintly brushing my hand over my throat.

"Sis?" I felt a hand on my shoulder and I screamed. Jumping back and away from the contact. When I saw it was only Eijiro I put my hands on my head and squatted down, mumbling about Nomu and hand-man.

"He was here... he was here... the hand-man... Nomu too... I was dying... I couldn't breathe... it burned... it burned... it burned..." I closed my eyes and saw the bird again, it's a hand coming down on my face. In terror, I opened them wide.

Katsuki looked the most concerned, though it was only in his eyes and body language I could tell, he knew what I was feeling. He himself looked a little shaken up as well.

"Kat," I called for my boyfriend, reaching for him, "He was here. He was going to kill me." I tried to get out as my boyfriend drew nearer. He squatted down and pulled me into a hug.

"He's not here. You're safe. It was just a memory."

He repeated that over and over until it was ingrained in my mind, though I could tell he was saying that for himself as well. I was not unaware of what had happened to him before the entrance exams.

In a way, we were in similar situations. Both suffering from PTSD but too prideful to let anyone in. To let anyone help.

After a while of continuous repeating, I felt someone pick me up, knowing it was Kat I let him carry me back to my small group, and just before he let me go he repeated the line one more time.

Nomu wasn't here. I'm safe. It was just a memory.

Nomu wasn't here. I'm safe. It was just a memory.

We started on our way back to the waiting area, knowing that we had all passed with the few of us reliving traumatic experiences, we were pretty content with ourselves.

Eijiro didn't ask questions, and neither did Kaminari, both for good reason as my boyfriend and me both looked closed off, unaware of any outer emotions as we trucked back home. Back to the safety in numbers.

Soon enough though, the adrenaline rush I had been on came to a screeching halt. I yawned and began feeling woozy, knowing what was coming I went up to my brother and asked if he could carry me.

He agreed with a smile and soon enough I was on his back, watching as my boyfriend angrily walked in front of us. I yawned and closed my eyes, not seeing Nomu this time set me at ease.

So I allowed myself to drift off.
