Cheerfully humming a tune, Recovery Girl walks down the hallway towards her office with her syringe cane in her hand. While she would like to get their sooner, her short, old bones can only move so quickly. "Well, it's not like I'll be having someone over the clinic today. I don't expect those two to be here anymore, as long as they keep their promise to no longer be reckless." She snickers to herself as she opens the door. What she saw next could only be described as bizarre, but concerning.

"Yaomomo, you have to go back to class, Todoroki will be fine."

"I can't Mina, it's the duty of the class vice-president to tend to all her students."

"Oh, is that true?" A pair of hands floats around in an energetic manner. "Is that why the president is here, or are you using him as a scapegoat?"

"Tooru!"

Annoyed by the ruckus, Recovery Girl snaps at the three girls. "Silence, please!" The room grows quiet. Mina stands silent in shame, Tooru's hands cross each other, and Momo bows to Recovery Girl asking for forgiveness.

"Good grief, I don't know what you're saying sorry for, let me see the patient." She shuffles her way past the girls and finds Tenya and Izuku bedside. She's shocked to find Izuku sitting bedside. On the hospital bed lays Shouto, with his face flushing red. His right side tries to freeze, but the patches of frost would melt away immediately.

"Oh my," Recovery Girl looks at Shouto before turning her attention to the rest of the students. "I don't think Todoroki needs this many people here. Please go back to class."

"Yes!"

The whole group makes their exit, but not before Recovery Girl stops Momo in her tracks. "Except you, Yaoyorozu. Please stay here." Momo closes the door in front of her and walks back towards Shouto's bed. Recovery Girl brings her a chair and a cup of tea so she can situate herself properly. Setting her drink down on the table, she asks why Recovery Girl wanted her to stay.

"Why did you want me to stay?"

"It's obvious from your behavior that you were the one who insisted on taking Todoroki here." With a thermometer in her hand, Recovery Girl instructs Shouto to open his mouth so she can take his temperature. "You don't have to do that, mam. He recorded 42 degrees in my thermometer."

"I need to do it again. It's my duty as a caretaker." Momo nods with concern.

"70 degrees, oh my."

Momo gasps in shock. Recovery Girl puts the back of her hand on Shouto's forehead. His left side felt extremely hot, while his right side felt lukewarm. "How strange, but I guess it's expected due to his quirk." Momo gets up from her seat.

"Please tell me if Shouto will be alright."

"Shouto? Are you guys that close to each other."

"No, no, no, I just panicked." Momo stammers.

"I'm just kidding." Recovery Girl gives Momo a smile, and gives Shouto a kiss on the forehead. She pulls the curtain to let the boy have his privacy, and sets a chair next to Momo. "Now tell me what happened?" she asks in a calming tone.

Her face filled with worry, Momo sits back down and twiddles her thumbs.

"It started at lunchtime."


"Todoroki-kun, are you okay?" Izuku and Tenya ask him as Shouto shivers in front of them.

"I'm fine." Shouto protests. Suddenly he sneezes flames from his nose.

"But Todoroki-kun you haven't even touched your food yet," Izuku points at Shouto's lunch tray, which was filled with food. "You're usually done with you food by now."

"How observant of you, Midoriya." Shouto tries to pick up his spoon to scoop more curry, and forcefully swallows down some to show his friends' concerns are nothing. However, He lets out another sneeze, turning his metal spoon bright red. Izuku and Tenya grow more worried.

"You are clearly not okay!" Tenya exclaims as he flails his straight hands at Shouto.

"Let us take you to the clinic," Izuku points his hands towards the door.

"It's just my quirk, guys. I get like this sometimes." Shouto let's out another sneeze, only this time the air felt cold.

"It's no use Iida-kun, he's being too stubborn."

"Perhaps we can get some assistance from her." Tenya darts his finger across the cafeteria. Izuku turns his head to find Momo, Kyouka, and Denki chatting as they enjoy their lunch. With no other choice, Izuku stands up and walks over to them.

"Yaoyorozu-san, can you please tell Todoroki-kun to go to the clinic?" With no questions asked, Momo dashes her way to Shouto's table and materializes a thermometer from her hand. Like a paramedic in an accident, she asks Tenya to stand clear, and shoves the metal tip into Shouto's mouth to get a reading.

"Yaoyorozu…"

"Keep your mouth close," Momo gently closes Shouto's jaw. "The thermometer can't get a good reading if you're talking."

"This girl…"

Shouto looks around as Momo looks at the thermometer. He sees Izuku and Tenya standing by, and from afar the situation has also caught Denki and Kyoka's attention. Panicked, Momo runs back to her table to grab her belongings and quickly grabs Shouto's hand.

"Todoroki-san, please come with me!"

"It's okay, really."

"No it's not." She hands the thermometer to Tenya, who reads it aloud. "42 degrees!?" Izuku grabs the thermometer from Tenya's hand.

"Todoroki-san, please cease this stubbornness and let Yaoyorozu-san bring you to Recovery Girl!"

Shouto gets up from the table. "Look I can stand on my own, and walk perfectly." Shouto says as he paces back and forth. "Thank you for the concern, but I feel..." A sudden heaviness engulfs his body.

What he wanted was that he was "feeling fine," but he suddenly finds himself on the floor. Hazily, he sees Izuku and Momo calling out his name as the rest of his class circles around him.

"These guys…"

Darkness surrounds him.
