Chapter Text
All for One leaves the battle area with his teammates and that marks the end of the Paranormal Liberation War.
There are sighs of relief but seeing the destruction caused by Shigaraki and AFO and the fatal injuries to lot of heros, people are getting worried about the Hero Society
Not to forget the truth of the Number one Hero, Endeavor is now known to the whole Japan. Trust is on the line to be lost. The consequences of this war are worst, not only for the heros but also for the society.

A girl of almost the age of high schooler wakes up with a bad headache. She can't remember where she is when she opens her eyes. It smells and looks like a hospital room. The last thing she remembers is seeing flames around her.
Her eyes slowly adjust to the light and she can clearly get a view of her surroundings. It is definitely a hospital room. She tries to sit up on the bed but fails one or two times. But she tries again and this time she succeeds. Her head is wrapped in bandages and so are her hands and legs. But except for the headache she doesn't have pain anywhere else. It's because of her quirk. She senses she has a saline attached to her right hand. Although she doesn't have any wounds, she feels tired and energyless.
A nurse comes to her ward. She smiles looking at the girl and the girl returns the smile. After how many years she is seeing someone smiling at her kindly? She had stopped counting. But how come she is here? She has a lot of questions in her mind.
"How are you feeling?" The kind nurse asks her while checking her vitals.
"I feel tired but nothing more than that." The girl shyly replies. It's been so long since she had had a proper conversation.
"That's good! But mostly your injuries healed because of your quirk I guess." The nurse told her.
Her quirk. She hated it. Her quirk can heal any wounds but not the ones on her heart.
"So, finally you're awake?" She heard a soft voice speaking to her. She looked at the door once she understood that someone came in.
"A mouse is speaking?" She shockingly said.
The mouse human chuckled. "Isn't it interesting?"
The girl was very much confused but at the same time she was amused.
"Well, let's put that thing aside. Nice to meet you, I am the Principal of UA, Nezu. Can I know your name?" He introduced himself.
UA? She had heard this name before. Definitely from the man to whom she was asked to serve.
"My name is Fuka. Nice to meet you!" She politely replied to him.
"You seem like a good girl. Why were you with Shigaraki Tomura?" He asked her.
Shigaraki Tomura. Even his name is terrifying for her. Her hands started shaking by the mention of his name. She couldn't stop but remember all those dreadful things he had done to her.
"I-I" she couldn't continue as tears made their way out of her eyes. The nurse immediately ran to her and tried to calm her down. But it was in vain.
The nurse told Principal Nezu to go for now and come back when they tell him to, once she calms down properly.
-*-
Principal Nezu meets with her doctor, Recovery Girl and All Might outside.
"She is in trauma. We haven't got much information about her except for some information about her quirk. But after checking her physical condition. She was harassed, physically and sexually. Because of her Quirk, she was used for experiments for years." The doctor told them about the results of Fuka's checkup.
Listening to what the doctor has said, all of them couldn't help but feel angry. All Might punched a walk beside him which in return hurt his hand. How can people do such hideous things to such an innocent girl?
"The police are currently searching for information about her." The doctor, Ms Yamada Riko, informed them.
"Yamada San, I will do the paperwork needed for her to come to UA like Eri chan. Once you confirm that she is okay, I will come to meet her and I will talk to her about this." All Might told the doctor.
"Understood, All Might! I will keep the papers ready." Yamada san told them and left.
"Are you sure about this Toshinori kun?" Recovery Girl asked him.
"I am. With her quirk, she isn't safe in this world outside the UA. Especially right now when the villains from Tartarus are on the run." All Might was ready to take her responsibility.
"I can understand what you feel, Toshinori kun. It's okay, go ahead with the procedure."
"Arigatou Gozaimasu!" All Might thanked him, bowing to him.

It's been 3 days since the War was over. Hawks, Endeavor and Best Jeanist held a press conference regarding the information Dabi/Touya has shared to the whole country, regarding Twice's death and Jeanist's arranged murder.
Hawks informed the people that killing Jeanist was a plan to get trust from Shigaraki and others in order to infiltrate the Liberation. He also told the press that killing Twice was very much important considering his dangerous quirk.
But the most important thing was about Endeavor's family past. People had started losing their trust in the Number 1 Hero. With lots of Heroes retiring because of fatal injuries from the war, there are not many Heroes left to protect the people and at such times if the remaining Heroes are not the ones who can be trusted then how are the people going to survive? Who will they look at? The journalists kept asking such types of questions but Endeavor didn't ignore any of those. At the end he told them to just look at him.
Endeavor had made his resolution to face all types of questions and criticism. Surely it is not easy but he has decided that he will atone for his mistakes, for the sake of his family too.
On the other hand, the first year Hero Course section A was in different chaos. When everyone woke up in the dorm in the morning, they found a personalized letter from Deku. The common thing in everyone's letter was the information about his quirk, One for All. He mentioned how he got it from All Might and how it is related to Shigaraki and All for One. He told them that because of his power UA is being targeted and because of that everyone's life is in danger.
All the students except for Bakugou and Uraraka were currently in the common room of the dorm, discussing about Deku. No one was sure about where he went away. But everyone was worried about him.
Uraraka was in her room, not wanting to discuss anything with others. Not that she didn't want any information about Deku's whereabouts, but right now she didn't want to talk about it to anyone.
She was standing in the gallery of her room still holding on to the letter Deku had left for her. When the war was over, she had seen how much wounded he and Bakugo were. At that time, she was not able to understand why Deku pushed himself too much even though the pro heroes were there.
After that we had gone to visit both of them in the hospital with others but both of them were unconscious. And she won't deny that she kept looking at Deku from outside his ward for hours.
She had always felt one thing, who will protect the Heroes when they are in a pinch? She wanted to become such a presence for Deku. But she decided to put a lid on those feelings because she was afraid it might make her lose sight of her goals. She used to think about what Deku would do in each situation but they both are different. The goals they have are different.
Right now, all she is thinking about is Deku. He had been smiling all the time even though he was carrying such a huge burden, such an important responsibility. She felt miserable that she was not able to be a good friend because she never was able to feel that he was in pain.
She was saved by him on the day of the entrance examination. He had trusted her whenever they were paired up for exercises. He had saved her once again when they were fighting with Nine. He always cared for her. And there were numerous reasons why she was grateful to meet him but then she was not able to do anything for him.
"Gomen ne, Deku kun (I'm sorry, Deku kun)!" She held the letter close to her heart as tears escaped from her eyes.

All Might, Recovery Girl and Principal Nezu went to meet Fuka again. They had received a message from the doctor that she was ready to meet them.
"Thank you for coming to meet me. I sincerely apologize for my behavior the last time you came to meet me." She sincerely apologized to the Principal.
"It's really okay. You have been through a lot, no one is going to blame you." The Principal smiled.
"Fuka san, we want your help." All Might spoke as he went near her.
She recognized him since she used to see his photos and videos when she was with Shigaraki.
"My help, for what?" She asked.
"We have lots of Heroes with fatal injuries. Even Recovery Girl's quirk can't properly treat them. So, we want you to use your quirk. I know we are being selfish and you are still hospitalized but please lend us your power." All Might bowed as he pleaded her.
She hated using her quirk but this time people are asking her to use it for saving someone. She didn't waste any time to reply.
"It will be my honor to help. I don't know how much I will be able to help but I will try my best." She bowed and accepted their request.
"Thank you very much, Fuka san." All three of them thanked her.
"But please keep in mind that overuse may lead to exhaustion and decrease the effectiveness of her quirk or even kill the user from too much exhaustion. It can be limited to a certain number of people. Her quirk takes a lot of time and energy to restore a fatal injury. She is not much trained to use her quirk so please pay proper attention." Dr. Yamada told some key points about her quirk to them.
She then turned to Fuka. "As I said yesterday, you are good to be released from the hospital."
"About that, I, All Might will be going to take your responsibility as a guardian from now if it is okay for you." All Might asked her.
She didn't have any problem with that. She knew what type of hero he was and is so she can trust him.
"Okay. Yoroshiku Onegaishimasu." She shyly bowed.
All Might and others smiled.
"Yoroshiku ne!"
"Well then, you're good to go with All Might." Dr. Yamada informed her.
She nodded and thanked her and the nurse for taking care of her. She then walked with All Might and Recovery Girl towards a hospital room.
As All Might opened the door of the room, she saw a boy, approximately the same age as her. He was covered in bandages even more than her. There was an oxygen mask through which he was breathing. And just by looking at him she understood that his condition is severe.
"He is a UA student from the 1st year Hero Course." All Might told her, closing the door behind them.
She looked at All Might and then looked at the boy again. He seemed like a healthy person who exercises and maintains his body properly.
"What happened to him?" She was concerned about him.
"In the war, he jumped to save his friend and got hit with a piercing quirk of the villain. His lungs and abdomen are severely wounded." All Might sadly looked at him.
It is obvious that Heroes don't even care about their lives to save others but he was only a high schooler. She found it pretty much courageous that he found the determination to put his life at stake for his friend.
"He is a great hero, already!" She said not taking her eyes off of him.
"Bakugo shonen is definitely one of the persons who is capable to be the Number 1 Hero. But for that I want your help. Please heal his wounds with your quirk." All Might pleaded her again.
"Hai!" She responded and moved close to Bakugo. She sat on the chair nearby and took his left hand in her hand. Because of the bandages she was not able to properly heal his wounds. She wanted to try healing a small wound first to check how much energy she can use. She removed the bandages slowly and carefully.
Keeping those away she held his left hand once again, it was warm. Maybe because of the bandages but what she felt from the information that All Might had given her, he was certainly a warm hearted person.
She closed her eyes and focused her energy on the palm of her hands which was touching his left hand where it was injured. After a minute or two passed, she was able to activate her quirk as a yellow glowing light started glowing covering her hands.
Her quirk is 恢復 (Restoration-Kaifuku).
She can restore anything living or non-living to either their optimum state, including healing/regeneration of themselves or others, restoring life in an environment, such as animal life or plants, reconstructing ruins or destroyed buildings, etc. This is a separate ability to regeneration as this power is able to heal another being or object, not just themselves.
Within a few seconds, the wound on Bakugo's left hand was healed. All Might and Recovery Girl exchanged a few glances of relief that her quirk is successfully working.
They decided to stand outside the ward room and keep attention on them. All Might asked Recovery Girl to go because she has been working hard to recover others. The Recovery Girl nodded and left.
Half an hour passed, and Fuka had healed all the small wounds. But her energy had been used a lot and she was feeling exhausted. She closed her eyes and focused again. This time she was going to try healing the wounds on his abdomen. This is going to use more of her energy and concentration.
She removed the bandages wrapped around his abdomen. All Might remembered what the doctor told, he went to buy some juice for her so that she could get some energy.
She was trying her best to focus and activate her quirk but it wasn't working. She was tired. Most of her energy was already used. But she didn't want to give up so she tried again. But as a result, she felt unconscious, one of her hands slipped down from his abdomen to his left hand.
Bakugo somehow felt something. Slowly, his eyes opened. He felt a sting in his head but then it disappeared. His eyes adjusted to the surrounding light and he came to his senses. Although he remembers he had so many injuries, strangely he wasn't feeling any pain in his body except for his lungs and abdomen. He felt a little weight on his abdomen and he wasn't able to move his left arm again because of some weight. He looked at his left side and saw a thin girl with long black hair sleeping.
But because of the pain in his chest and abdomen, he wasn't able to move. To his good luck, All Might arrived just in time.
"Fuka-san, are you okay?" All Might ran to her, keeping away the juice he had bought for her. He tried to wake her up but he wasn't able to see Bakugo awake.
"Al-l Mi-ght!" Somehow Bakugo was able to call him.
All Might quickly looked at him. "Bakugo shonen!" He was able to find some relief but then he ran to call the doctor.
The doctor who was in charge of Bakugo came along with Dr. Yamada. Fuka was moved to the sofa in the same ward where Dr. Yamada checked her. While the other doctor, Dr. Yoshida checked Bakugo.
"Looks like Fuka san's quirk is working fine. His small wounds have been healed. But he is still tired and because his wounds on the lungs are yet to heal, he will still need to be on the oxygen." Dr. Yoshida explained the situation to All Might.
"As I said, Fuka san is just exhausted. She will be fine after resting for a while. Please let her rest here." Dr. Yamada informed about Fuka's situation.
All Might breathe in relief. Bakugo will be fine soon. He was but worried about Deku. Ever since Deku had told him that he will leave UA and work with the Top 3 Heroes to bail out the villains who had escaped the Tartarus. And he had taken a promise from All Might that he will not tell anyone where he is. Not even Bakugo.
Bakugo is not the type of guy who will just be fine with it. He won't stay out until he finds Deku. And of course his classmates as well.
The doctors left. All Might sat near Bakugo. Bakugo wanted to ask him about that girl. From their conversation, he understood that she had heal his wounds by her quirk. For now, he decided to stay quiet and rest. He doesn't have much energy. He closed his eyes and decided to fall asleep.
After approximately an hour, Fuka woke up. She remembered she had to heal that boy. She stood up and went near him.
"Fuka san, you need to rest." All Might tried to stop her.
"I rested enough, I am fine." She told him with determination.
Although he wanted her to rest more, he couldn't stop her because of the look in her eyes. Those eyes are of someone persistent with their determination.
"Drink this juice." He gave her the juice he bought for her.
She thanked and drank the juice. He smiled. She sure has a heart of a Hero. She continued healing his wounds. Bakugo felt warm suddenly. He opened his eyes and saw that girl. She had kept her hands on his abdomen where AFO had pierced him with his quirk. From what he could see that her eyes were closed and there was sparkling yellow light covered her hands.
But he was feeling more and more tired. The healing process was taking his energy as well. His eyes felt heavy and he felt asleep again. After an hour, the wounds on his abdomen and lungs both were healed. Dr. Yoshida had came to check his oxygen level and told that now he can breathe without the oxygen mask.
Fuka and All Might both smiled looking at each other. She felt happy that her quirk was able to save someone.
"All Might san, I want to meet the Heroes who saved me." She told him. "I just remember seeing some fire when I was saved. Who was the Hero that saved me?" She asked him telling what she remembers.
"It was Mirko who found you and Endeavor saved you." All Might informed her. "And you can call me Yagi. I am not a Hero anymore. My real name is Yagi Toshinori." He added further.
"Yagi san, even if you say that, you will always be our All Might. The Hero who is loved by everyone." She smiled.
"Thank you, Fuka shoujo!" He thanked her calling her name in his infamous style. "Shall we go now, we will go to meet Endeavor and Mirko tomorrow."
She nodded and with one last glance at Bakugo she followed All Might outside the hospital.
