Chapter Sixteen: Recovery

The next day everyone had received a call from U.A highschool that they would be closing for the day due to reasons. "...." there was an deafening silence between the students in the dorms as none of them really knew what to make of everything that happened "i guess that means we have a free day then" Denki said as Tokiwa was helped in the dorms by Jikazushi "he hasn't woken up since yesterday,we came back from Recovery Girl and she tried her best to heal him,she said he used up a lot of blood and would need to rest for some time" Jikazushi said as Momo walked over to them and helped them take him to his room "can… we be alone please?" Momo asked as Max came through the door. "I said I want to be alone," Momo said. Max said nothing as he pulled a strange device from a shadow and injected something into Tokiwa and her. "What did you do!" Momo yelled. "You were in the shadow world for longer than expected so this should cleanse your body of any…..Problems…. As for Tokiwa I gave him a concoction that would help him recover, the ingredients are made by this world ingredients so don't worry" Max said as he left. ".....ok,thanks i guess." Momo said as she looked at the sleeping Tokiwa "what even happened? Why,why didn't i…. I don't even know what to say,there are so many places to start from,and so many questions I want to ask,like how you were able to kill those villains so easily,or how you did it without a shred of regret or hesitation. But more importantly,I want to ask myself why I let any of this happen. If I had just done something,anything,I wouldn't have been…,you wouldn't have been…" Momo said as she was still in shock about everything. "Maybe,maybe I'm not cut out to be a hero if I can't deal with things like this,heh,there are probably worse people out there who would do even worse to me,so I should just stop complaining,right?" Momo said as Tokiwa's body was still unconscious "please wake up,i don't really know what to do anymore,i'm just,i need you,please… just wake up" Momo said as she sat at Tokiwa's bedside and cried while holding his hand  "mhm,ughh" Tokiwa muttered as he was sleep talking. Momo looked up in surprise as she soon realized that he was sleep talking "i…need….you…don't worry…i've got your back" Tokiwa said as he went back to snoring "heh,even while asleep,you still manage to bring a smile to my face" Momo thought as she sat the holding his hand. A couple hours later Tokiwa woke up in a cold sweat "HOLY FUCK!" Tokiwa yelled as Momo jumped up beside him "hmm! What happened?!" Momo said as Tokiwa starleted her awake "where is he,i know he's still out there?" Tokwia said as Momo pulled him in for a hug "hey,hey! It's okay now,alright,I've got you,nobody is going to touch you or lay a finger on you again okay?" said  Momo as she hugged him tightly until Max came in. "Yo are finally awake. I am here to pick her up" Max said. "Pick Momo up?" Tokwia asked as he was still a little dazed. "No, he is talking about me" Kate said. Momo and Tokwia looked up and saw Kate as she was laying on the ceiling. "Why is she here?" Tokwia asked as Momo was blushing hard. "There is a target on your head so I kept Kate here so if anything happens she will drag you two to the shadow world" Max said. "Oh,thanks I guess,also,why don't I have a shirt,and better yet,why are you in my room,in my bed?" Tokiwa asked Momo as he was assuming something inappropriate happened to him while he was asleep "no no no! It's not like that,you see when you were unconscious your temperature was extremely high and you were sweating buckets so i took your shirt off to cool you off,there's the bucket of cold water and rag for proof" Momo said frantically as she blushed "oh,that makes a lot more sense,but that doesn't explain why all of you are in here" Tokiwa said as he tried to get out of bed "don't over exert yourself,and as for why i was in here,... i needed to be alone with you to say things'' Momo said as her tone noticeably shifted. When Momo turned to look at Max and Kate they disappeared. Momo looked all around and didn't see anything but a small note, she read it and it said "Good luck, we will be cheering for you" the note said as Momo blushed a bit "good grief" Momo thought as Tokwia forced himself out of bed and onto his feet "come on,stupid body,work!" Tokiwa said as Momo tried to help him "woah there speed racer,you're not going anywhere" Momo said as Tokiwa fell through the floor. A loud crash sound could be heard from under the floor as Momo tried to hold in her laughter "you okay?" Momo asked as she put her ear to the floor "i'm okay" Tokiwa said as Momo started crying laughing "okay,let's just do this" Tokiwa said as he teleported back to his room "on second thought let's just take it easy" Tokiwa said as Momo helped him to the casual room of the dorms "oh you're finally awake" Todoroki said as Izuku helped him to one of the couches "how are you feeling?" Izuku asks as Tokiwa sits down "i'm better,what happened,and what smells like food" Tokiwa asks as Fourze and his siblings are cooking "that would be us,we decided that everyone would need some time to relax and recollect themselves and eat" Fourze. For the rest of the day they all relaxed, had fun,and all were able to partly move on from what happened. "So,how did the raid go to Tomura?" All for One asked as Shigaraki kneeled in front of him "we devastated most of their forces and left them damaged,the Nomu was taken down by Almight but other than that the raid was a success" Shigaraki said as All for One questioned him again "Any other problems?". "That glitch kid killed a bunch of us and that one dark kid managed to stop our Nomu for a bit so I had to order it to go all out. That kid and glitch is a problem, '' Shigaraki said. "That glitch kid is my son. That "Dark Kid '' is working for me and you are lucky to be alive if you get on his bad side. Why did the glitch kill them?" AFO asked. "There was a girl that was captured. The members who  got her were planning to do something to her and the next moment there were red strings cutting them up" Shigaraki said. "Red strings? You mean blue strings right?" All for one asked him as Shagarsaki shook his head "no,red strings,they were a lot thinner that his regular strings,they were red,sharper,and they were used differently" Shigaraki said as All for One made note of this "maybe he's awakened,no,he's still too young for his body to handle that'' All for One thought. Max then appeared and Shigaraki noticed him and tried to decay Max but multiple metal spikes came and pinned him in place. "Why can't I do anything to these!" Shigaraki yelled. "Shadows can only change if the original does. Also these can be repaired faster than you can decay at the moment. Anyway I am here to tell you what happened. Tokiwa used code that existed in his blood to make the strings. They are more powerful than his normal strings but it causes heavy damage. It is sharp enough to make a decent scratch on my shadow metal. I would be afraid to see what he can do if he awakened. Also did you know of the hit that was put on his head and the person hunting him is the Ripper?" Max said as he retracted his metal spikes.
