Not Alone

Izuku opened his eyes, finding himself being carried towards Ua as he looked up he saw he was being held by Uraraka who had her mask still pulled back as he continued to look at her his vision started twisting the world behind Uraraka burst in flames startling him. His movements caught Uraraka's attention. she looked down towards him seeing he was awake. Izuku quickly closed his eyes before opening them again as he did his vision went back to normal

Izuku: "what happened?"

Uraraka: "Izu you're awake, how are you feeling?"

Izuku: "like i've been stabbed and beaten several times"

Uraraka: "that might be because you did"

Izuku: "Ochaco could you put me down"

Uraraka: "yeah sure"

She places him on the ground still holding onto him so he doesn't fall. Izuku tries to walk only to stumble before he could fall, Uraraka and Izumi both quickly grab his arms before placing them across their shoulders supporting him up.

Izumi: "easy there bro we got ya"

Izuku looked over towards Izumi

Izuku: "Izumi i...what i said i~"

Izumi: "it's ok i know we're good come on lets get home"

They continued walking back to Ua once they arrived the gate dropped only to reveal a large group of civilians, heroes and other students staring at them. Izuku tried not to look at any of them as he was helped back onto school grounds as soon as he did several heroes ran over to help once Inko got over to him he had tears in her eyes as she saw him in that state they tried to help him into the main building they all heard one of the civilians yell at them

Civilian 1: "Don't let that boy in here if he's let in well all be in danger!!"

As a man in a purple shirt yelled at them more and more civilians thought about it before coming to the same conclusion the man did

Civilian 2: "y-yeah if we do then Shigaraki, All for one and the Joker will come!!"

Civilian 3: "wasn't Ua supposed to guarantee our safety and peace of mind!!"

Civilian 4: "don't let him in!!"

Civilian 5: "doesn't having One for all make him a Nomu?"

Civilian 6: "if you're going to fight, do it somewhere else!!"

Civilian 7: "we came here because we believed in you heroes now you want us to sacrifice our safety for him"

Midnight: "like the principle said this is the safest place right now and we are thinking of you lives first"

Mic: "we understand that you might not think this is the greatest situation but he needs a safe place to rest and recover so he continue to help all of you"

Civilian 1: "he tried to help before and he failed he couldn't help anyone now japan's become a lawless country with no one able to help"

Civilian 3: "and now you want us to give up our safety for him"

Civilian 6: "you want us all to be in danger for him your shifting your burden onto us"

The crowd started to get more and more riled up angrier and angrier as they all started yelling for them to kick Izuku out. Izuku takes his arms off of Uraraka and Izumi managing to stand on his own as he looks towards the civilians the fear toxin kicked in again making making him see them all as red eyed demons before he could do anything the pain in his chest came again forcing him to his hands and knees clutching his chest breathing hard some of the class kneel down trying to calm him down some of the civilians stop yelling looking at him with a bit of concern. The rest of the civilians started slowly walking towards Izuku getting ready to throw him out as they did three small figures pushed through the crowd running towards Izuku. As small voice voice was heard

Eri: "DAD!!"

They all looked over seeing Eri and Kota in their suit's without their mask running next to them was Ace they all ran over to Izuku. Kaminari and Kirishima help Izuku back to his feet as soon as Eri, Kota and Ace made it to Izuku Eri hugs his leg while Ace jumps up to him. He takes his arms off of Kaminari and Kirishima's shoulders before carefully hugging Eri and Acr trying not to get blood on them. The crowd look on with a little shock but still anger in their eyes

Civilian 7: "he has a daughter?"

Civilian 1: "what does it matter if he stays then all our children will be in danger!!"

The crowd continued to make their way towards Izuku before they could get any closer. The class stood in front of them stopping them from getting any closer to him.

Uraraka: "That's enough none of you are going not going to touch him!!"

Civilian 3: "all we're saying is that we don't want him and that quirk here just because he wants to rest"

Izumi: "IZUKU DOESN'T HAVE ONE FOR ALL!!"

As she yelled the crowd fell silent looking at her

Izumi: "he doesn't have one for all...i do Izuku's quirkless all for one and Shigaraki both knew that if they wanted to come for it they could have attacked Ua at any time"

Uraraka: "Izu didn't came back by his own choice we're the ones who brought him back"

Civilian 1: "you want us to believe that bull even with that video showing All Might have him that quirk!!"

Izumi: "that video was faked he did it to take the heat off me so i could train and get better with this quirk"

Civilian 1: "even if he doesn't have that quirk the Jokers still after him and that madman would kill any of us to get to him!!"

The crowd starts yelling again. Izuku reaches for his wastonly to find his utility belt gone; he takes a look around until he spots it on Uraraka's waste. He looks towards Eri who has stopped hugging his leg

Izuku: "be a good girl for your mother ok"

She didn't have time to respond before Izuku walked up to Uraraka catching her attention she wasn't able to sat anything as Izuku reached and took his belt back

Izuku: "take care of them"

He turns getting ready to leave as he walked he suddenly stopped when he heard Uraraka yell

Uraraka: "NO!!"

Izuku turns around facing her and the rest of the class. He was about to say something only for Uraraka to turn back to the group of civilians before speaking again

Uraraka: "can't you all see would you all just look at him look how injured he is he put himself in danger got himself badly hurt to protect all of us and now he needs our help"

After finishing her sentence she steps aside giving the crowd a clear look at how injured Izuku was.

As they looked on in silence a voice broke through the silence catching all their attention. They all looked back to where the voice came from. They all saw a tall woman with a mutant quirk as Izuku looked at the woman he recognised as the woman he saved.

Woman: "he saved me...so he was fighting even after he saved me he kept fighting"

As soon as she spoke more people started speaking up in Izuku's defense.

Kyotoku: "he saved me and my wife when a truck trailer nearly hit us he jumped in to help us even though to do so he had to let who he was chasing getaway"

As he spoke Tsu's parents decided to speak up

Mr Asui: "Batwoman saved my youngest daughter and son if she says we trust this boy i say we do"

Mrs Asui: "me too"

Mitsuki: "i've known this boy sever since he was younger he's a good boy he's always done everything he can to help others i believe he's still trying to protect everyone he can"

Even as more and more people started telling how Izuku saved and helped them or people they knew, some of the civilians were not convinced.

Civilian 1: "So he helped some people so what don't tell me you want us to get all beaten up like that too?...YOU WANT US TO BE COVERED IN BLOOD AND BRUISES TOO!?!"

Izumi: "Only the heroes will be hurt and bleeding!!"

Uraraka: "just give us some time to heal please just let him rest let him prepare so he can continue to protect you so we all can continue to protect you"

The civilians stopped yelling, only looking at Izuku there attention was dragged away from him as Uraraka spoke again.

Uraraka: "we've asked you nicely we're taking him to get medical attention if any of you really want to stop him entering you'll have to go through me"

Katsuki: "us"

Uraraka looked beside her, spotting Katsuki and the rest of the class standing beside her in defense of Izuku. There was only a couple seconds of silence until the woman the Bakugo's, the Uraraka's, the Jiro's, the Asui's, the wild wild pussycats, Inko, Aizawa, Midnight, Present Mic, Snipe, Hound Dog, Power Loader, Vlad King, Ectoplasm, Cementoss, Recovery Girl, Barbara, Eri, Kota and Ace all walk towards Uraraka and the class before standing next to her turning to stare down the crowd

Aizawa: "Us too"

The crowd looked at the group across from them before separating, allowing them to take Izuku into the main building. Izuku looked round at the group around him as they started to walk. Izuku tried but the pain in his chest made him start to stumble. Noticing it, Aizawa and Uraraka helped him walk into the building.

After a while

Izuku was sitting in the nurse's office on the bed while Recovery Girl finished patching him up.

Recovery Girl: "there that should be alright now but i suggest you rest and i'm sorry but most of them will scare especially the one on your chest"

Izuku: (great i'm going to have to live the rest of my life with the bat symbol scared on my chest)

Izuku: "thanks Recovery Girl...for everything"

Recovery Girl: "So Batman Huh?"

Izuku: "yeah a while before i even came to Ua"

Recovery Girl: "well that would explain your mysterious injuries you always seemed to get"

Izuku: "yeah i guess it would"

As he spoke he kept his head down not looking at her

Recovery Girl: "Yagi look at me"

Izuku slowly raised his head before looking at her as soon as he did his vision got distorted again due to the fear toxin turning her into a version of herself with a joker like grin on her face

Recovery Girl: "ignore all those idiots outside everything you did and are doing is the right thing and if no one has said it yet i will...im proud of you"

Izuku: "...thanks Recovery Girl that means a lot"

She smiles at him before the door to the room opens as Uraraka walkin in holding a small bottle and a piece of paper. She looks at Recovery Girl. they look at each other before Recovery Girl starts leaving before she does she looks at her

Recovery Girl: "good luck"

Uraraka: "thank you"

Recovery Girl left, closing the door behind her once she was gone Uraraka looked towards Izuku only taking a few steps towards him before stopping.

Uraraka: "y-you feeling any better"

Izuku: "i still feel like i've been beaten and stabbed everywhere"

Uraraka: "that might be because you have"

Izuku just slightly nodded his head before trying to get up which caused Uraraka to act gently pushing him back down on the bed.

Uraraka: "wow no what do you think you're doing?"

Izuku: "i have to get back out there"

Uraraka: "not like this your in no shape to be on your feet...Izu you can barely stand"

Izuku: "what afraid i'll commit another murder when i'm out there"

Hearing this made Uraraka freeze for a second before grabbing a seat playing it in front of him sitting in front of him she looked at him with a regretful face

Uraraka: "Izu...i know what i did that night hurt you but there is an expansion why"

Izuku: "and what would that be you suddenly stopped trusting me"

Uraraka: "no that's not it...i have something that will make this a lot easier to explain i had Melissa do a brain scan on me to find out why i acted...how i acted"

She hands him the piece of paper to him as he looked at it the last paragraph of the paper was folded over he was about to unfold it only to be stopped by Uraraka

Uraraka: "just ready that bit the last is something that well have to talk about after this"

Taking the chance Izuku started reading the piece of paper as he did Uraraka explained everything Melissa told her. Once they were finished Izuku placed the paper next to him on the bed he kept his head down not looking at Uraraka

Izuku: "is this all true"

Uraraka: "yeah next time i see spellbinder i'm going to make sure he never thinks of messing with my head again i think of few broken ribs might help drive the point home"

Izuku: "Ochaco im sorry i~"

Uraraka: "stop that this isn't your fault you didn't know how could you have"

Izuku: "but still i should have trusted you...i have to go i need to get back out there"

He tries to get mankind sure not to look at Uraraka as he did before he could fully get up. She lightly grabbed him before pushing him back to the bed.

Uraraka: "NO!! I'm not going to let you go out there like that especially with the fear toxin making nearly impossible for you to tell what's real when your healed and rested we can all figure out a way to beat all for one, Shigaraki and The Joker"

Izuku: "Ochaco i have to do this alone!!...i'm grateful that you all care about me enough to come after me but i have to do this alone"

Uraraka: "no you don't you have so many people willing to fight with you to help you...you remember what nighteye said to you before he...died"

Izuku took a minute thinking over what was told to him before mustering up an answer

Izuku: "he said i can't do it alone...but maybe i should i dragged you all into this but you all in danger"

Uraraka: "you didn't force us to do anything we weren't already willing to do Izu we're fighting with you not for you and we all want to help you fight this"

As they spoke Uraraka noticed Izuku wasn't looking at her instead opting to look at the ground

Uraraka: "Izu could you look at me"

Izuku: "i can't"

Uraraka: "Izuku please look at me"

Izuku: "i can't i really can't"

Uraraka: "...your hallucinating aren't you"

Izuku: "...yeah"

Uraraka: "Izu if your trust me then look at me"

She places a hand on his cheek as she did he slowly raised his head looking at her

Uraraka: "what are you seeing"

Izuku: "fire the whole room on fire an~...and him"

Uraraka: "the joker"

Izuku: "i hear his voice he's describing all the different ways he's going to kill you, Eri, Kota everyone"

Uraraka: "block it out...j-just focus on me focus on my voice"

Izuku: "i can't"

Uraraka: "yes you can i know you can i just need you to listen to me for a few seconds"

She places her other hand on his other cheek. Izuku lightly puts his hands on hers.

Uraraka: "I have this antidote thing from Melissa it'll stop the toxin but..."

Izuku: "but?"

Uraraka: "but it'll put you to sleep for a while"

Izuku: "How long?"

Uraraka: "a day maybe a day and a half"

Izuku: "i can't be out of commission that long"

Uraraka: "you have to you try and go as you are now your heart will give out"

Izuku: "the toxin keeps me moving"

Uraraka: "it's killing you"

Izuku: "i don't want to leave any of you"

Uraraka: "but if you don't take the antidote we will lose you...forever"

Izuku: "i know but i just got you all back i don't want to be away from you not now"

She paused for a second before thinking of something. She takes one hand off Izuku's cheek before reaching into her utility belt pulling something out she clenched it in her fist so Izuku couldn't see it yet

Uraraka: "Izuku we will always be together no matter how far away we actually but if it's peace of mind you need then i might have something that could help...i found this a few days ago"

She raised her fist before opening it showing the engagement ring

Izuku: "you found it"

Uraraka: "yeah i did...i know this might not be the most romantic moment or the best and i know you might not want to anymore considering you left it here"

Izuku: "...i didn't leave it here because of that i left it here because i didn't want to break it"

She smiled at him brighter than she had for the last two weeks. Before she was able to say anything Izuku held his arm out to Uraraka's confusion.

Izuku: "do it"

Uraraka: "Huh?"

Izuku: "the antidote do it i trust you to keep everyone safe until i wake up"

She places the ring on the nearest table before taking the small bottle as soon as she does. she gets up picking up a syringe. She takes some of the antidote into the syringe once she did he places the bottle on the ground before walking over to him they both look at each other. They stayed in that moment for a few seconds until they both leaned into a passionate kiss. Uraraka slightly opens her eyes enough to see as she injects the syringe into his arm once the antidote was injected into him they separate at the same time Uraraka takes the syringe out before disposing of it. Izuku laid on the bed waiting for the antidote to kick in. Uraraka sits next to him.

Izuku: "when does this thing take affect"

Uraraka: "i'm not sure but Melissa said it wouldn't be long"

Izuku: "could i have your left hand for a second"

Uraraka: "yeah sure"

She reaches over, handing her left hand to him as she did. Izuku sits up before lightly taking it and taking her glove off. She continued to look at him curious and a little excited. She watched as he reached over, picking up the engagement ring before placing it on your ring finger.

Izuku: "i realize i haven't asked yet se why not now Ochaco Uraraka will you~"

Uraraka: "YES!!"

There was a moment of silence before they both started laughing at each other.

Izuku: "you didn't even let me finish"

Uraraka: "sorry but you obviously it would be a yes plus there is something else i have to tell you before the antidote take hold"

He lets her hand

Izuku: "and what's that"

Uraraka: "well you have to promise to not freak out"

Izuku: "you know saying that just freaks me out a little"

Uraraka: "i know but...read the rest of the paper"

A little confused, Izuku reached for the paper before folding the last paragraph over before beginning to read it as he read Uraraka couldn't help but fiddle with her hands, clearly nervous. As Izuku read through the paragraph he started mumbling a few words before stopping and slowly looking up towards her with a face covered in shock.

Izuku: "...p..p-pregnant"

Uraraka just nas a nervous smile on her face as she looks at him

Uraraka: "s-surprise"

Izuku's expression changed to have a smile on his face

Izuku: "are you serious"

Uraraka: "yeah that's why i wanted to get you back to Ua"

Izuku: "So does anyone else know?"

Uraraka: "no we'll apart from Eri"

There were a few moment of silence

As never knew what to say the silence was broken when Uraraka finally spoke

Uraraka: "a-are you ok"

Izuku: "yeah terrified but~"

Uraraka: "but excited"

Izuku: "yeah"

Uraraka: "i feel the same"

Izuku: "i don't think i've ever felt this terrified since we adopted Eri"

Uraraka: "i know we can talk about this more tomorrow"

He lays back down on the bed. They both look at each other without needing to say anything. It was only a couple seconds until the antidote finally took effect and Izuku closed his eyes, falling asleep. Uraraka continued to smile at him before using her left hand before taking Izuku's. She rubs her thumb across his hand before getting up, giving him one last kiss. She sits back down still holding his hand with her un-gloved hand she calmly keeps an eye on him. Until here attention was pulled off Izuku and to the door to the room opened as she turns her head towards the door still not releasing her grip on his hand she saw it was Inko who opened it, she steps in before closing the door behind her

Inko: "Oh hi Uraraka"

Uraraka: "Mrs Yagi what are you doing here"

Inko: "i came to see my son after everything...i just need to see if he's ok"..is he?!"

Uraraka: "yeah he's ok now he's just sleeping trying to recover from the injuries and fear toxin"

Inko: "that's good do you know when he'll wake up"

Uraraka: "some time tomorrow...but if you want you can stay a bit i'm sure he'll be happy to see you when he wakes up"

Inko: "i don't think he will be"

Uraraka: "what makes you think that"

Inko: "i haven't exactly been there for him in the past~"

Uraraka: "you neglected and forgot about him yeah yeah i've heard it before from All Might and guess what Izuku Izumi did fare worse to him then you did and he still forgave her your only problem is that you haven't actually made a real effort to apologize or if you have you haven't told him like i mean when all the teachers were making a decision to kick him out how did you vote"

Inko: "i voted same as Eraserhead i voted for him to stay we were just out voted"

Uraraka: "and did he know that"

Inko: "....no i don't think he did"

Uraraka: "and there's the problem just show him you've changed not just assume he would find out"

Inko nodded before walking over to Uraraka grabbing and taking a seat next to her as soon as she sat down she spotted the ring on Uraraka's finger

Inko: "this is surprising"

Uraraka: "what finding out Izu was batman this whole time"

Inko: "yeah that took me completely by surprise...you know i talked to some people he saved and the more people i talked to the more stories i heard the prouder i became all he's done all you have all done your parents must be as proud of you as i am of him"

Uraraka: "im not to sure about that i haven't really has the time to tell them i don't even know where to start"

Inko: "well if you want my suggestion start at the beginning tell them how it all started...and maybe tell them about the ring on your thinger"

As soon as she said that Uraraka immediately looked at her hand before blushing she takes a breath before speaking again

Uraraka: "yeah about that it just happened and well the ring was my great grandmother it's been passed down the family so im guessing they already know about it"

Inko: "still you should talk to them"

Uraraka: "i will and get the class ready but i just don't want to leave him alone"

Inko: "i'll keep an eye on him"

Uraraka: "are you sure"

Inko: "time i start showing him i care right"

Uraraka just nodded before finally letting go of Izuku's hand and getting up, giving Inko the seat. She walked to the door once she opened it she was met by Ace sitting in front of the door. She wasn't given a chance to react as Ace ran past her into the room. Immediately she gave chase after him as Ace ran under Izuku's bed before jumping on top of it and lying next to him.

Uraraka: "Ace get down he needs to rest"

Ace just grumbles as if telling her no

Uraraka: "don't talk back to me now down"

Ace in retaliation just pushes himself further against Izuku to Uraraka's annoyance. As Inko watched the scene transpire around her she couldn't help but smile

Inko: "just leave him he's not bothering anyone"

Uraraka: "ok if you say so"

She takes her attention from Inko to Ace

Uraraka: "be a good boy"

She pats him on the head before grabbing her glove and leaving the room as she walked down the halls of ua she continued to look as the ring on the finger with a goofy grin on her face until she left the building where her gaze net several civilians she continued to walk to one of the training rooms where the rest of the class was located. As soon as she walked in Tsu walked up to her

Tsu: "Yagi alright *kero*"

Uraraka: "yeah he's resting should be up later tomorrow hows the rest of the class"

Tsu: "we'll Mina and the Bakugo's are slowly getting there quirks back to normal Iida managed to get that stuff off his legs with the help of todoroki and Izumi is nursing a headache*kero*"

Uraraka: "and what about Jiro"

Before Tsu could reply they heard the sound of someone throwing up. They look over to Jiro hugging a bucket

Tsu: "immediately after she woke up she started feeling dizzy and well you can see what happened *kero*"

MIna and some of the class wake up to them

Kirishima: "man who know Yagi could hold his own against all of us"

Mina: "yeah but does anyone think he was a little too prepared for us i mean he had something to completely stop my quirk"

Uraraka: "well we'll talk to him about it when he wakes up tomorrow but for now let's get back to training"

The group start heading back to training
