A place where if they were 2 seconds too late I'd be dead.
"Hey." Katuski gently shook my shoulder, as if he could hear my thoughts. The panic began to rise in my chest.
"We saw the news and she just ran up here." He began to explain for me.
"And then we talked for a while." Shinso added.
"Ugh... Okay. Todoroki, Bakugo, Yagi, you can go. Thanks." The three began to file out. Katsu patted my shoulder as he left.
"I'm so sorry, L/N." All Might attempted to console me. Not like there was much to console.
"Ha. No need. But thanks." I said bittersweetly. And so, an unlikely trio of Aizawa, Shinso and I remained on the roof.
"You sure you're okay?" Shouta affirmed. I bit the inside of my cheek.
Obviously, this was a severely fucked up situation. Severely.
It was my fucking fault. If I had him arrested that day there and then, this would never had fucking happened.
But my fatal flaw was giving the man an ounce of pity. Through my last ounce of fear of him. And that has now mercilessly slaughtered innocent people.
And that ounce of fear has now amplified into guilt and is bursting at the seams.
"...Yeah."
I shouldn't have stopped taking my meds.
I thought I was fine.
Fuck.

She said not-so-convincingly. Now, I'd only known this girl for a grand total of 10 minutes- not including our fight at the sports festival, but from what I could gather one of her abusive parents were now dead and her homeroom teacher really hates roofs.
I had a similar reaction when my biological parents died, so I know how painful it is. Even though they fucking suck, you're still full of grief and anger for some reason.
"I'm just going to make a few calls, wait over here." He pretty much picked her up by her shoulders and moved her away from the railing. She simply stood there, devoid of all emotion, mouth slightly agape.
He dialled number after number, leaving me completely unaware of what to do.
Closing my DS would be a start. The Super Mario music felt a bit inappropriate. This caused her to jolt.
"Shit, I didn't even realise that was still playing..." She chuckled a little bit.
"Yeah. Uncomfortable silence, right?" I smiled, trying to make the best of an entirely fucked up situation. She smiled back thankfully.
"So, they've pretty much sent in the whole cavalry to look for this asshole. They're not gonna rest until he's put away, okay?" Aizawa-Sensei let her know, putting away the phone. She scrunched her eyebrows, confused almost.
"...Right."
Oh.
She wasn't scared of him, no. At least not this much. This was all because she felt guilty.
I elected not to say anything yet.
"Mic should be on his way up now-" As if on cue, the Voice hero himself came through the doors.
"Hey!" He said, not as enthusiastically as usual. Probably for the best.
"Hey. Can you take her down to her room please and stay with her for a bit? I'm going to have a quick word with Shinso here." I quirked a brow.
"Sure. Come on, I'll do you some tea, 6 sugars just the way you like it!" Present Mic said in a sympathetic tone. As soon as they were gone, the underground hero turned to me.
"Take me through exactly what happened." He had an air of authority as he said this.
"Uh- I was just up here playing on my DS, and she just burst through the doors. She was definitely having a panic attack, and she kept saying over and over 'it's my fault.' I said something to her and we chatted for a second, she said she robbed me of my spot in the hero course or whatever before she went downhill again and I used my quirk to break her out of it. And, uh-" At this point, I didn't know how much he knew.
"Uh, she was saying how her parents were abusive and she shouldn't care they're dead. Then the others came up." I finished. He sighed- clearly he knew.
"Thanks, Shinso. And good thinking, helping her like that." The exhausted man held his face in his hands.
"You know she didn't rob you of your place in the hero course right? The shitty entrance exam that's biased towards physical flashy quirks did. This school did." He continued much to my surprise. Before shocking me even further.
"You don't mind, do you? I know she'll be okay with Mic for a couple minutes. And it's good for her to open up to people other than me." He trailed off towards the end. He held a cigarette to his mouth. He lit it after I gave him a thumbs up.
Guy was definitely passionate about his students' wellbeing.
"A-are you allowed to do that up here?" I smirked.
"I've stopped giving a fuck now." He took a long drag from the stick.
Definitely one of my weirdest nights by far.
"You have a lot of potential. I started in general studies myself, you know? This school's pretty biased towards people with mental quirks." I stayed silent, waiting for him to continue.
"I think you could do really well in the hero course. I've been meaning to pull you up on it, after talking to your teachers, but I think you'd do pretty good in our class. Even what you did tonight, that's a use for your quirk nobody would have thought of." My mouth opened slightly.
Was this my chance?
"What do you say? Start training with me? Gym Gamma, Wednesday 3:30." He asked with a slight smile, his eyebags looking almost worse than mine.
"Yeah." I was unsure of what else to say.
"Great. I really need to go see to L/N now, but she will be joining us on Wednesday as well, since she trains with me too." He began to walk off.
"Plus, looking at your file, and that DS in your hand, you two have a lot in common. I think you'd be good friends."
