"Now, now, there's no need for that little hero. My mind is one you don't need to be in." She whispered softly. I could see her studying my face. Lightly tracing the scar over my eye before caressing the side of my face. A soft hum left her as she twirled the blond part of my hair around her long finger. "Just listen, okay? You need to rest up as much as you can right now. Your future will be hard and will test everything you hold dear. So hold those you love close and never give up. Especially that fiery blond, he needs you as much as you need him."
                          
"What... how do you-" One of her fingers was lightly pressed to my lips to silence me. 
                          
"I don't have long so just listen. You have many trials ahead of you Hikari. But you mustn't let the light within your heart die. You're not the only one who will suffer if that light goes out. Never give up and never let him go." Her voice was quiet as she spoke. Leaning over me as I laid helpless in the bed. Wide eyed as my full attention was on the woman. I couldn't seem to look away from her as she spoke. Taking up my entire field of vision as she held my attention solely on her. "My dear sweet Hikari. Don't forget who you truly are. No matter what happens. Listen to your heart, it will help you through this all."
                          
My heart raced in my chest, the heart monitor speeding up as well. What did she mean? What was going to happen? And what did Katsuki have to do with all of this?
                          
A soft click from the door caught my attention and broke the trace I was under from the woman. I looked over but a hand covered my eyes. Blocking my line of sight and shutting them as her voice whispered softly in my ear. "I'll be watching~" was the soft purr from the woman before the pressure over my eyes left. 
                          
Opening them back up the woman was gone. Like she vanished into thin air. Instead a short nurse walked in with a surprised look on her face. "Oh! You're awake finally!" Rushing over she checked my heart monitor and all the other things hooked up to me. While she was doing this I looked around the room. 
                          
That woman was gone. 
                          
It was like she wasn't ever there. 
                          
What just happened? Who was she? Was she even real? Was I dreaming all of that? It felt real to me at least. The woman's touch... I could still feel it on my face. It was gentle and I didn't feel any threat from the woman. Just a calming almost motherly aura that seemed so carefully gentle. Not a hint of malice or hostility or threat or just anything negative. 
                          
"You're vitals are fine but I'll go get the doctor for you okay? Don't move around, you're still injured." The nurse scurried off as I sighed and watched her leave. 
                          
"The fuck just happened?" I mumbled as I brought my good hand up and rubbed my face. Did I really imagine that woman? Was I going insane? Is this insanity? No, it couldn't be. I couldn't imagine how real her touch was. Right? "God I'm losing my mind..."
                          
The sound of running footsteps echoed outside of my room. Slowly getting louder and louder before my door burst open. In an almost panicked state stood a very frazzled man. His blond hair a mess and it was obvious he didn't get any sleep. 
                          
"Dad..." I spoke softly. The tears that weld in his eyes fell as he rushed over. Gently he leaned down as hugged me the best he could with out moving me. 
                          
"Oh god Hikari! I thought I lost you!" His voice broke as a soft sob left him. "You've been out for so many days. God and when I saw you... I thought I lost my baby girl. Don't scare your old man like that ever again!" 
                          
"I'm sorry dad... is Izuku okay? What happened to Stain?" I asked as he pulled away. Toshi helped lift my bed up a bit so I could sit up. 
                          
"Izuku is okay. He is already back to his internship. Same with Todoroki. Iida went home to his family to finish recovering. And Stain... well... they got him in custody now. He saved you and Izuku from that nomu... he is a bad man but I am grateful that he saved your life." Toshinori pulled a chair up next to my bed.  Sitting down he gently took my hand in his. His thumb gently tracing circles on the back of my hand. "The internships are almost over though."
