Chapter 13: On The Sidelines
A few days have passed and you've heard very little from your friends since they were busy with the internships.
Meanwhile, you sat on the carpeted floor of your living room, the T.V on in the background while you were finally spending some quality mother-daughter bonding ti-
"I ALREADY HAVE 8 CARDS AND YOU WANT TO GIVE ME 4 MORE???"
"THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR SKIPPING MY TURN TWICE."
"THAT'S IT." You squinted your eyes. "You leave me no choice." You picked a card from your deck and slammed it on the pile. "Change color AND take 4 more cards." Your mother gasped. "The new color is red."
"FINE." She threw her cards on the floor in defeat. You laughed at how the game turned out and your mom got a good laugh out of it as well. "You want popcorn?" She asked from the kitchen.
"Extra butter!" You called out and added a 'Thank you' at the end.
Utter chaos in the city of Hosu!
You turned your attention towards the T.V. recognizing the place that was mentioned.
The news reporters were in a helicopter, filming live from above. It looked like the heroes were in the middle of the battle since they looked already somewhat tired out. Debris was flying everywhere with flames and destruction everywhere.
"Hey, mom! Come look at this." Your mom left the popcorn in the microwave as she made her way to the living room.
"What's going on?" She asked.
It seems like some weird creatures have appeared and are terrorizing Hosu, watch out!
The news lady shouted while the helicopter just barely dodged a large piece of concrete that was directed at them by the monsters.
"What the hell is this?" You questioned and watched attentively.
"Y/n, aren't some of your friends interning in Hosu?" Your mom asked nervously. That's when you realized that Todoroki and Izuku mentioned that before.
"Yeah..." You searched for your phone and opened up your contacts list. " I should give them a call to make sure they're okay." You dialed Todoroki's number first since he was the one closest to the battle. As you held up your phone to your ear you noticed that they had focused the camera on someone else.
It looks like they managed to capture The hero killer! And are those students from UA?!
Izuku?! Tenya?! Todoroki?! You were wide-eyed seeing how injured they were.
"I-I've gotta go back. I need to go and help them-" You were already grabbing your coat as if you had a plane waiting for you.
"Y/n," Your mom grabbed you by your shoulders. "You can't just take a plane to Japan, it'll take you too long and it'll all be in vain." You sighed, feeling helpless and frustrated.
"But I have to do something! Teleport me there! They're my friends and they're in trouble! I can't just..."
One of the monsters has taken a boy!
You whipped your head back to the tv screen.
Izuku!!!
You rushed back to sit in front of the T.V screen while squeezing a pillow as you watched. That's when the Hero killer escaped from the road he was tied up in and went for Izuku. You felt your heart drop.
Please don't... Don't kill him...
You felt the tears accumulate in the corner of your eyes as your heart pounding in your chest. You could feel your mothers hand on your shoulder as your hands covered your mouth from shock.
But suddenly, the villain fell to the ground.
"What? What happened??" You asked yourself mostly. Seeing this, all of the panic and anxiety you were feeling just a while ago was gone.
It was...over.
"Mom," You began, but she gave your shoulder a small squeeze.
"I'll try to get you a plane ticket back as soon as possible." She answered knowing what you were going to ask her.
"Thanks."

The next day you arrived at the Hosu General Hospital. You waited for the automatic doors to open and let you in. You went directly towards the front desk and talked to the only person there.
"Hi, I'm here to visit my friends." You said to the guy at the desk somewhat nervously.
"Good afternoon, what are their names?"
"Tenya Ida, Izuku Midoriya, and Shoto Todoroki." He typed away at his computer and got the information.
"They're in room 354 on the third floor." He gave you a side smile. "Please no running down the halls." He added.
"Okay, thank you!" You started speed walking over to the elevator and waited impatiently for it to open. Soon enough you were walking down the halls, looking for the number.
352, 353, 354!
You stood at the door and took a breath of air before knocking softly.
"Come in!" It sounded like Izuku jumped a bit from the sudden visit. You slowly opened the door and walked in.
"Y/n..." Todoroki spoke up first looking surprised by your presence. You could feel your self start to well up seeing how they were.
All bandaged and beaten up but...they're alive.
You rushed over to Izuku and gave him a hug.
"I'm so glad to see you're all okay!" You cried. Izuku was surprised by the sudden burst of tears but non the less chuckled and hugged you back.
"It's good to see you too." You pulled away from him and then walked over to Tenya, he looked like he wanted a hug too even though he couldn't return it since his arms were all bandaged up.
"Thank you for coming all this way to see us." He thanked. You smiled sweetly and wiped away your tears before giving him a gentle hug.
"I wish I could have been there to help you guys out." You said sadly.
"Wait, you said you would be in America..." Todoroki noticed, you simply shrugged.
"When I heard the news, and I saw you guys fighting..." You walked over to him so you could give him a hug too. "I took the first plane back to come to see you guys." Todoroki felt his cheeks heat up and hesitantly hugged you back.
"Are you rich or something to be able to travel back and forth like that?" Todoroki asked with a chuckle as he held you. You pulled away but you noticed he kept his hands at your hips.
"Like I said before, I get free plane rides, the rest of the expenses I do have to take care of though. Plus I've had some side jobs here and there before" You then took a step back, making Todoroki let you go.
"You could already work??" Tenya looked astonished by this information. You nodded and laughed at how surprised he was.
"Yeah, I would work at pizza places and restaurants, simple things really." You said honestly.
"That's so cool! What was it like???" Izuku took a seat on his bed while you took a seat next to Todoroki. It turned into a pleasant conversation where everyone was finally showing a genuine smile and all the tension from before had died down.
"And he said that maybe he was cursed and that he would be something like 'The hand crusher'!" You all laughed at how ridiculous it all sounded and you turned to look at him and he would just look away trying to hide his blush which you thought was kinda cute.
"Well, I'd better get going guys, I've still got a suitcase to unpack." You slid off the bed and walked towards the door. "See you guys on Monday!" You waved goodbye and the others did as well. You left in a better mood but then remembered everything you had to unpack.
...
Ughhhhhhhh
