The Little Girl

“So that’s why (Y/N)-chan not being able to participate in the Sports Festival wasn’t a problem?” Kaminari asks.
“Not exactly,” Aizawa replies, “(L/N) and anyone who wasn’t scouted during the Sports Festival will have a harder time getting in on a Hero Work Study. Then against, the world seems to like her. I bet she’ll have plenty of recommendations.”
I glance at her, I can almost feel my eyes soften at the sight of her face. She’s looked so much happier ever since the Hero License exams. Her eyes haven’t stopped sparkling since. It brings a smile to my face. Three days later, Midoryia’s house arrest ended so Aizawa began discussing more about Hero Work studies. Three third-year students enter the classroom. One is a boy with pale skin, messy, indigo hair and indigo eyes. Another boy, seemingly the leader of the group, has blond hair with oval blue eyes and a generally plain-looking face. The girl in the group has long, flowing periwinkle hair and royal blue eyes. They line up together as Aizawa explains who they are.
“They are the Big Three.”
Apparently, we’re all fighting the blond guy. We head over to Gym Gamma after getting into our UA gym uniforms. But I just want to watch from the sidelines. After all, I couldn’t even get my Hero License.
Midoryia is the first to attempt to attack Togata. The blond sprints forward...but his clothes fall off? Midoryia tries again but his foot passes through our upperclassmen. Everyone tries but they also fail, getting punched in the stomach.
All except for (Y/N).
She stands, covered in her own kinetic energy, “Permeation, right?”
Togata freezes, “Someone’s done their research.”
“You’ve worked hard to master your power, I can tell,” She says, “At first, I assume you’d get stuck halfway, accidentally fall through floors.. Right?”
Togata sighs, “So you’re the one!”
She tilts her head in confusion.
“You’re the strongest one in class 1-A!”
(Y/N) chuckles, gesturing to the rest of her classmates, “I’m not. They’re all strong. They’ve all worked hard for their current position at UA. Honestly, I don’t think I can beat you. Anything I do, you can just slip out.”
“Adapt,” He shuts his eyes for a split second.
And (Y/N) disappears.
Togata glances around, but (Y/N)’s nowhere on the ground. She files above him, still covered in her energy. She doesn’t have to come down for a while. When Togata’s stance looses, (Y/N) grabs him with her energy and lets herself fall. She lets all energy go at the last second. When she lands, Togata is knocked to the ground, but not knocked out.
(Y/N) quickly turns, grabbing both of his arms and locking his legs down with her energy.
“My, you had me fooled.”
He drops through the ground. Well, at least, his top half does. His legs are still locked in (Y/N)’s energy. He comes back up with fearful eyes that meet (Y/N)’s confused ones.
“How?”
“I don’t- I don’t know.”
“That I guess I’ve been beaten. I can’t get out of this.” He replies, smiling.
(Y/N) smiles too, releasing him, “Thank you.”
Togata and the other two explain Hero Work studies and before the group of three leave, the blond pauses, looking back at (Y/N).
“When you’re free, come see me,” He says, “I have someone I think you would like to meet you.”
She blushes, turning away as other members of our class bombard her with questions. I approach, silently congratulating her as our day ends and a new era begins.
A few days later, we find out that both Midoryia and (Y/N) have been accepted into Sir Nighteye’s agency.
“We’ve gotta catch up.” I mutter.
“I know, shut up!” Bakugo replies.
(Y/N) overhears us, “You two better catch up soon! I don’t want to graduate without you.”
Bakugo tries to pounce on her out of anger, but I grab the collar of his shirt.
“You’ll see us soon, (Y/N)-chan.” I reply.
Just days later, (Y/N) and Midoryia come back late from their work study. (Y/N) looks..sad. Her eyes are dull and her posture is horrid.
“(Y/N)-chan?” I call out.
She glances at me and pauses, “Hm?”
I grab her hand, “You need rest, come on.”
A few minutes later, we arrive.
“What.. Shoto-kun, why are we in front of your dorm?”
I blush, realizing what she must think I[‘m about to do, “I-I just. It looked like you might not get any sleep by yourself. Or at least, not in your own room.”
She smiles, kissing my cheek as she steps inside my room, flopping down on my bed. She sighs with delight.
“Everything smells like you.”
I blush, trying to cover it up with my hand. I feel a tug on my shirt, I look down at (Y/N). Her tired eyes make me smile. She’s so cute.
“I’m tired..can you hold me?”
My heart pounds in my ears as the sentence repeats in my head, over and over again. My blush darkens.
“U-Uh sure!”
I lay down beside her, staring up at the ceiling. She leans on my chest.
“(Y/N)-chan.”
“Mm?” She responds.
“What happened today?”
I can feel her tense up.
She sighs, “It’s supposed to be secretive..but you won’t tell anyone, right?”
I hum, “Who would I tell?”
She chuckles, “Well, we met a villain today. He had a little girl with him. She was terrified, scarred up and she was trying to run away from him. I can tell that the villain has done something to her, I can just feel it. Something horrible. We’re trying to get more information...but we may plan to help her. Something is wrong. I can tell we don’t have long.”
“I’m pretty sure it’ll be okay,” I reply, holding her tightly, “They have you, after all.”
She leans up, kissing my cheek again, “Thank you, Sho-kun.”
She looks back up at me, squinting, “What happened to you?”
I smile, “Just Hero License classes, don’t worry.”
She chuckles, snuggling tighter against me. After a few moments of silence, I realize that I can feel (Y/N)’s breath against my arm and chest. Looking down, (Y/N)’s fast asleep. I smile, kissing her forehead as I slowly drift to sleep as well.
Just days later, (Y/N), Uraraka, Midoryia, Tsu, and Kirishima leave for their work studies again. I wonder what’s going to happen today.
We had no classes today, so we spent it talking, playing games and some even spared. As we’re all relaxing on the couch, watching TV, it suddenly switches to the news.

“Sorry for the interruption. As I speak, heroes from all over are doing their best to try and save a little girl named Eri. Here is a work study student or should I say here are two work study students, battling the villain known as Overhaul.
(Y/N) and Midoryia, they’re fighting?
We watch as Midoryia is thrown to the ground by Overhaul. The little girl that he was holding, the same one (Y/N) told me about flies out of his arms. Overhaul grabs her in his mountain of flesh and arms.
“You’re not getting away that easily!” (Y/N) yells.
Overhaul pauses, firing his arm towards Midoryia. I tense up as time seems to slow down.
“(L/N)-chan, stop him!” Kaminari yells.
“He’ll kill Midoryia-kun!” Iida adds.
“Go (Y/N)-chan!” I yell, “We’re rooting for you and all the others!”
She reaches out, covering Midoryia in her energy. Overhaul tries to smash the shield but to no avail.
“Y’know something I’ve discovered, Overhaul?” (Y/N) says, “My energy gets stronger when I’m using it to protect my friends!”
She begins to glow brighter, just like at Kamino ward. Her face only shows anger, no pain. Then again, it could be hidden behind a mask. She charges forward, punching Overhaul’s arms. Suddenly, she flies up high with incredible speed.
The villain doesn’t even see it coming. She punches him in the face, hard. He pauses, giving (Y/N) the opening she needs to grab Eri.
“You will never hurt her again!”
I realize that there’s a shield of energy between her and the child, most likely due to the heat that (Y/N)’s radiating.
Overhaul slowly gets back up but (Y/N) quickly creates a wall. The villain punches it and suddenly, (Y/N) disappears. She reappears above him and comes crashing down. Overhaul is immediately knocked out.
(Y/N) lands, releasing her energy and allowing Midoryia to get up. She collapses.
The news broadcaster speaks again, “And it seems that the hero Genkina has won against the OVerhaul villain!”
But this doesn’t feel the same as the win in Kamino. (Y/N)’s completely passed out. Midoryia stands over her, listening to her heartbeat as the medical care rushes over.
Please be okay, (Y/N).
For me.
For class 1-A.
For the world.
We need you.
