His body sizzling, Stain falls backwards. I pant heavily, staring down at him, almost daring him to stand back up. Suddenly, what I just did hits me.

"No... Shit, I... no, I didn't mean to kill-" I mutter, my face falling, my shoulders sagging. Then, Stain breathes. I felt such an intense rush of relief that I almost fell over. Well, I did fall over, but Izuku caught me. I regroup with my classmates and find out that, when I wasn't watching, Izuku had been paralysed and had his legs stabbed. Todoroki ties a rope around the hero killer and we drag him out to the street. I heft Izuku onto my back and carry him out of the alleyway, then put him down when we're outside. The pro hero, Native, helped me out.

A grumpy old man wearing a hero costume flies forward faster than I can blink, kicking Izuku in the face. He was the hero that Izuku was interning with, as I remember.

"Over there!"

The sudden cry startles me, making me jump and almost activate my Quirk in case of an attack. I was still very on edge after the fight with Stain. I turn to look at the ground of people approaching us and recognise a lot of pro heroes.

"Endeavor told us there was a problem here... Woah, those injuries are serious! I'll call an ambulance!" one of them pants, taking out a phone.

"Hey, look!"

"Is that the hero killer, Stain?!"

The heroes tell us to refrain from moving while the ambulance arrives. Iida steps towards us and bows deeply.

"You guys... I'm sorry. You all got hurt because of me and my childish anger. I couldn't see anything else..." he says, tears rolling down his face. My face softens and I step towards him, placing a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, pull yourself together. You're the class rep," Todoroki says, but not unkindly. I could see, deep in his eyes, he was really shaken after the fight. We all were. Gran Torino suddenly looks up, noticing something.

"GET DOWN!!" he shouts. I look up towards where he was looking, noticing a pale shape hurtling towards us. Before I can move, the thing grabs Izuku and snatches him into the air. The thing was bleeding from its eye, leaving patches of blood everywhere. My own blood runs cold and I immediately take off after the Nomu, speeding along the ground. As a result, I miss what happened behind me.

Stain wasn't unconscious. He had a blade hidden in his sleeve which he used to cut through the ropes binding him, then licked the blood off the cheek of a pro hero. The nomu freezes in the air, beginning a slow glide to the ground. I take the opportunity to leap into the air and latch onto Izuku's arm, pulling him away from the Nomu and into my embrace. Stain leaps up beside me, stabbing his blade into the Nomu's brain, killing the mutated monstrosity.

On the way down, Stain grabs me by the back of my neck, but not roughly. My instincts screamed at me to escape, that he was about to kill me, but I couldn't move. I assumed he had drank some of my blood again.

"Everything I do... is to create a better society." he says, turning back towards the pros, essentially ignoring us. I keep my arms around Izuku, not even giving him a choice to make me let go. The hero killer starts walking forwards, slowly. Endeavor rounds the corner, immediately shouting commands. Stain turns towards him.

"Endeavor... you FAKE HERO!!" he shouts, scaring me and everyone nearby. He starts oozing this... terrifying aura, like if you make one wrong move, you'll be killed. It was possibly the worst feeling I've ever had. Unknowingly, I tighten my grip on Izuku, pulling him closer to me like I can save him from this person. Even Endeavor seemed scared.

"There's only one hero I'll allow to kill me... All Might!!" he shouts. Then, suddenly, the feeling disappears. The hero killer stands frozen still, like he's unconscious. I sag, feeling like I'm about to faint. We were all frozen, unsure of what to do. I couldn't move if I tried.

After the ambulance arrived, we were transported to the hospital quickly. Iida, Todoroki and Izuku were all hospitalized in the same room, but I was placed in a separate one. I felt strangely alone, needing to be with them since we shared the same experience.

Someone with a dog Quirk came around later and told me what was going to go down. I was terrified at first, convinced I was going to jail, but he reassured me that I wouldn't. After his dramatic speech, I was finally allowed to rest.
