~Strange Discoveries and Horror Films~



"(Y/n)? Yeah, it's me. Listen, Recovery Girl just contacted me... apparently she found something else in your blood."


"W-what? What did she find?" I ask, the shock of something unknown striking me like a train.


There's a pause on the line and then the click of a tongue. "I... maybe it'll be better if she explains it. Hang on."


Muffled sounds and voices are all I can hear for a moment before Recovery Girl's kind voice comes on. "Hello? (Y/n), dear?"


"Y-yes, I'm still here."


"I'm sorry to bother you right now, but I found something important and Aizawa insisted on telling you right away." She starts. I nod on reflex, not even caring that she can't see me. "I was doing more tests, normal things to see what had happened and what was going on and I found that from the day you gave blood to me to now, things have changed. I took a few photographs of the blood under a microscope day by day, in case anything changed. I also took photos of the tested blood. I-I'll start from the beginning I suppose. Your blood appears to have been mutated.


"By what of course?" She continues, "Well... the most I can gather is that it once was normal, but that it began rapidly changing at a very young age. Once you fell into our universe, it seems that it started turning back to normal. It is difficult for me to quite say since I don't have blood samples from your universe, but this is the most I have gathered so far."


I blink a few times, the information sinking in. "...so..." I take a deep breath, not really sure what I wanted to say. "So. I'm... altered?" I finally ask, the words tumbling out of my mouth.


"I...I'm not sure. I think it may have been conditions on your Earth that changed things." Recovery Girl replies over the phone.


"B-but... my blood was once normal? It was once unmutated? And then it became..." My voice shakes and I become angry at how my voice sounds so unsure. "...whatever it became, and now I'm here and it's turning back to normal?"


I hear a sigh on the other side of the phone. "I... think so. It's difficult to say so none of this information is definite. Anyways, I'm going to continue experimenting and we'll keep you updated. Please don't take any of this too seriously. Don't worry too much and return to your friends." She says in a calm voice.


"Y-yeah... okay." I say hesitantly. "Got it. Thank you for telling me everything. H-have a nice night." I hang up the phone, too confused and shocked to wait for her to say anything back.


My legs begin feeling wobbly and I slide down the white wall onto the carpeted hallway floor.


I pull my legs into my chest and wrap my arms around them. I stare at the wall in front of me blankly for a few moments before my mind begins screaming.


What does this mean? Am I in danger? How am I changing? What would change when my blood returned to 'normal'?


"W-what's happening to me?" I whisper to myself.


A small creaking sound directs my attention to around the corner. I whip my head around the corner, looking for the source but finding nothing. My blood's changing and now I'm hearing things? Great.


I walk around for a few moments before finding a bathroom where I wash my face with cold water.


There is also a few cups of chilled water and some mints. I take a long sip of the cool water and grab a mint, popping it into my mouth before I begin finding my way back to the hall where everyone else is.


A thought lingering at the back of my mind for some time now resurfaces, but I push it away. Now is not the time.


I walk into the room and quietly walk to my seat.


"Hey, are you alright? Y-you look a little pale..." Izuku whispers from beside me.


I nod shakily. "Yeah..." I look off to my notes and take another deep breath. I close my eyes for a moment and then exhale and put on a smile, turning to him, I say, "Yeah. I'm okay, I promise."


He nods quietly and directs his attention to Momo who was just finishing up her English lesson.


Right, I should focus too. I need to do well on these finals.


Midoriya POV


A few minutes earlier...


I hear (Y/n) move next to me and I glance over at her.


"Excuse me..." She says quietly while looking at her phone, concerned with whatever was happening.


I move my head slightly and glance at her screen to see a phone call coming through with the caller ID under 'Aizawa Cat Man'.


Her uncle's calling her?


She rushes off down the hall while accepting the call and putting her phone up to her ear.


I continue staring at the spot she was even after she disappears around the corner.


Taking a breath, I decide to follow her. The only way I'm getting answers is by finding them myself.


I mumble my own pardon and leave after her, trying to remain silent so she doesn't hear me.


My head is telling me that this is wrong and that I shouldn't eavesdrop... but another part of me knows this is the only way I'm finding something out.


Voices begin talking and I quietly press my body against the wall she was on the other side of.


"Y-yes, I'm still here." She says, her voice changing from the bubbly, loud one it normally is to a quiet trembling one.


She doesn't speak for a while and I hear a muffled voice coming from the phone, but I'm too far away to make out what they're saying. "So. I'm... altered?" I hear (Y/n) breath out.


Altered?! From what?


The voice on the other side replies briefly and soon (Y/n) speaks again. "B-but... my blood was once normal? It was once unmutated? And then it became...whatever it became, and now I'm here and it's turning back to normal?"


Her blood is mutated? And what does she mean by here? Does she mean in U.A, at Momo's, in Japan? And now it's changing...


"Y-yeah... okay. Got it. Thank you for telling me everything. H-have a nice night." (Y/n)'s trembling voice says and I get ready to dart behind a nearby corner.


But I don't hear her move. For a few moments there's no sound until I hear her move and whisper in a heartbreaking voice, "W-what's happening to me?"


I sigh, knowing that eavesdropping on her was a mistake.


But... I know something now.


I clench my fist at my actions, angry at myself for being so foolish and inconsiderate to (Y/n).


I move away from my hiding spot, not wanting to intrude on her any more than I already have when the floor creaks. My green eyes widen and I jump behind a wall, landing silently.


I wait a few moments, grabbing my shirt where my pounding heart is and then I begin moving back to the hall to take my seat.


A few minutes later, (Y/n) appears around the corner looking shaken up.


She takes her seat next to me and stares blankly at the paper in front of her. Her normally bright (e/c) eyes are covered by the downcast of her face and hair.


I ask her if she's alright, feeling guilty that I had done what I did, and she nods shakily before taking a moment and then smiling at me and saying she was okay.


I just nod, not wanting to intrude anymore than I have and begin paying attention to the lesson.


(Y/n)'s POV


An hour later, the group study is over and I feel much better.


I realize that although something is going on in my body, there is nothing I can do and worrying will only trouble the people around me.


"Everyone! We had such a great study session today! All that's left are the finals, so let's do our best! Plus Ultra!" Momo yells, her bounciness still around her.


I smile at how sweet she is and Mina comes over to me. "(Y/n)! Ready to get changed into our pjs? We're about to watch a scary movie!"


I pull out my phone and check the time. The bright screen reads 7:26 and my (e/c) eyes widen.


It's already that late?!


I look up to Mina again and nod. "What movie are we watching?"


She puts her pink finger to her pink cheek and hums for a moment. "Hm... I can't remember what it's called, but it's an old slasher film!"


My eyes light up. "Really?! I love slasher films!"


Jirou comes over after overhearing some of our conversation. "You do?"


I nod. "Yep! They're so bloody! Did you know that when they made horror films in black and white they used chocolate syrup for fake blood?"


"What a banquet of darkness." Tokoyami says from beside me.


I laugh and we all begin moving towards the room where our bags were put.


Yao-momo mentions that there were changing rooms set up, rich people, right?, and that they were separated by gender. The boys' changing rooms were to the left and the girls' were to the right.


I think for a few moments to figure out my left from my right and then walk in the right direction.


My pajamas consist of a sheep onesie that is so fluffy and warm that I don't even care that Jirou snickered when she saw me.


Mina came out of her changing stall with light green shorts, a white shirt that had a kawaii avocado on it, and slippers that were in the shape of cats.


Jirou wore baggy purple sweat pants and a black shirt with the word 'Wallows' on it.


Yao-momo came over to us wearing a long sleeve button down shirt and matching pants. The fabric is a beautiful shade of red and it looks silky.


"Hi! We just finished setting up the cinema room! I also thought we could make a pillow fort together!!" Her dark eyes are shimmering with excitement.


I nod happily. "That seems like so much fun! Um... where is the cinema room?" I ask, looking around.


"Oh, silly me, it's in the right wing." She replies casually.


Jirou and I stare at her wide eyed. This place had separate wings?!


The butler from earlier came back and began directly a large group of us to the right wing.


I end up walking in pace with Kaminari, who was wearing a black hoodie and baggy yellow shorts. "Hey, (Y/n)! So, how has it been to be part of class 1-A?" He asks me.


I smile honestly. "It's been really amazing!"


He laughs and nods. "Has anyone been giving you any trouble? Bakugou? Todoroki? Mineta?"


I shake my head. "Nope~. Everyone's been really nice except Mineta, but I can deal with him."


"Well," He says while pointing his thumb to his chest, "if anyone bothers you, just let me know and I'll take care of them for you."


I giggle. "Thank you, Kami. I can take care of myself, but I really appreciate the thought."


He says a quick 'no problem' and walks over to where Kirishima was calling him.


I walk in the front of the group for a while before the butler, whose name I learned is Alfred, says that we have arrived.


He opens the door to a large room filled with large colorful pillows and blankets, a large grey couch, a huge screen at the front of the room, and dim lighting with the exception of the bright light filtering through the screen.


"Wow." I hear someone breath beside me. I turn to see Izuku standing next to me in a t-shirt with the words 'All Might' in red, blue, and yellow letters and in navy blue sweatpants.


"It's so cool, right?" I ask him.


He turns to me and nods excitedly. "Y-yeah! Like a private movie theater or something!" His green eyes look from my eyes to my outfit and his face quickly becomes red. "Y-your p-pajamas are n-nice."


I giggle at his reaction and nod. "Yeah, they're really comfy and soft. Wanna feel them?" I ask, holding out my arm.


He carefully touches the soft floof with two of his fingers. "W-wow. It really is super soft."


"Mm-hmm!" I hum in agreement. He puts his hand in his back in his pocket and I ask, "Are you excited for the horror movie?"


Izuku's face becomes slightly worried and pale. "U-uh, I guess? I'm n-not actually a big f-fan of scary m-movies..."


"Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Well, if it makes you feel any better I can sit next to you and if things get too scary, I can always hold your hand." I say with a laugh.


His face bursts into a bright red color, he looks like a strawberry with his green hair and freckles, and he begins mumbling. "A-a g-girl... h-hand... m-m-me..?" he squeaks at the end.


I chuckle and look around the room. Everyone who is sleeping over should already be here, and as I look around I notice a few missing faces.


Todoroki, Uraraka, Koda, and Mineta weren't there. I know Koda was here earlier, but the others weren't. They probably just couldn't make it.


Soon Iida begins telling everyone the movie was starting soon, so we should begin building the forts.


It goes by pretty fast and soon I'm stringing up fairy lights around a little spot I had made for myself and whoever else wants to sit next to me.


I put two pillows and a soft blanket on the floor and admire my hard work.


There were light blue and green pillows structured on the back and sides with a light blanket over top, draping down. The fairy lights I had strung through the top dangled down slightly from the sides.


It looks like something you see on Pinterest, I laughed to myself.


Earlier Mina grabbed her bag and dumped out a huge stash of chips, snacks, and candy. Yao-momo grabbed some water bottles and soda for anyone who wanted it. I took some (favorite soda)s and (favorite candy) along with a bag of Honey Buddha chips.


I sit down and see most of my friends cuddling around each other. The Bakusquad is on a spot on the couch while some of the girls are tossing pillows at each other. Iida is building a sort of tower with Shoji and Ojirou while Aoyama is spread glamorously on the floor surrounded by blankets. I chuckle at their antics and see Izuku standing nervously on his own. He looks like he doesn't really know where to go.


"Hey, Izu!" I call out to him.


He looks up and over to me while a blush is on his cheeks. He slowly makes his way to me through the minefield of pillows and snack bags. "H-hey, (Y/n). Did you make this fort yourself?"


I nod happily. "Yep~ I'm actually proud of it. You looked confused earlier, so I wanted to ask you if you wanted to join me?"


"M-me? I-isn't there someone e-else you would r-rather sit n-next to?"


I shake my head. "Nope." I say, popping the 'p'. "No one else I would rather watch a horror movie with."


The blush on his face deepens and he nods. "O-oh. Y-yeah I'd love to sit next to you then."


"Great!" I say as I scoot over to allow him to sit next to me on the other pillow.


I hear some of Yao-momo's voice over the loud room, but not much. Iida gets up and yells, "Quiet down! Yaoyorozu is trying to speak!"


The room falls quiet and Momo steps up with a blush. "Thank you, Iida. The movie is about to start, so please get whatever snacks you'd like and take bathroom breaks now if you need to. Um... and thank you everyone for coming over!!"


"Aw, Yao-momo is so sweet." I say and Izuku nods.


Soon the large screen begins changing and a scene of a teenage girl in the woods comes on. She's drunk and loud with a group of friends. A dark figure approaches them and she begins yelling at him.


"Why yes," I quip. "Let's yell at the creepy killer dude."


Izuku giggles next to me before shivering at the scene. I guess horror really isn't his genre.


"Um, so I know I was sort of joking earlier, but if you get really scared, you can hold onto me or something, I don't mind." I whisper to him.


He nods, flushed.


The movie continues and is kind of cheesy and not that frightening, but I guess all the killing and slashing got to Izuku, because after one of the characters is killed, he clutches my hand tightly and doesn't let go.


I smile to myself and squeeze his hand back. Soon, most of the killing subsides other than some jump scares and I feel Izuku's grip on my hand loosen before I feel a plop on my shoulder.


I look over to see Izuku's calm freckled face asleep against my shoulder.
