Let's get on with this and show you readers what you've been waiting for!
Sleepy grey eyes opened groggily as she was met with with a pure white cieling. Turning her head slightly she gazed out a open window at a cloudy bright sky.
"I'm back in the hospital...how'd I get here..?"
Her right side felt heavier than usual as she tried to move her limbs. Looking down her sight was obscured by white here as it rubbed slightly against her chin. Laid comfortably along her side was a little girl with the same white hair as her. She noticed the girl had a single horn on her head and she wore a pair of patient scrubs.
"She looks oddly familiar..."
For some reason her mother instincts kicked in as she ran her fingers through a wild patch of white hair. The girl stirred slightly ,but she moved closer towards her snuggling into her side.
Rei smiled gently as she continued to run her fingers through the little girl's wild bed head.
"She kinda looks like me."
"...Ma...mama..." The little girl mumbled in her sleep as began to whimper in her sleep. This took Rei by surprise as she noticed the now bandaged arms of the little girl and how much smaller she looked upon closer expectation.
"Ah! Your awake!" Shouted a blonde muscular man as he entered the room. Rei was about to cover the child when she noticed a flash of green hair behind the tall man with blonde.
"Rei-chan!" Shouted a happy Izuku as he enveloped her in a tight embrace ,but trying not to wake up Eri.
"Izuku-kun...I'm glad to see you." She whispered hugging him tightly.
"Do you remember what happened to you the other day?" Mirio questioned taking a seat on the other side of them. Rei looked confused as she tried recalling what happened yesterday.
"All I remember is leaving the hospital...the irony that I'm in one again is kinda unsettling." She playfully joked causing the two to laugh slightly.
"But after that...I really don't remember much." She admitted as she still played with Eri's hair.
"I guess we can start from there...before you came here Eri's began to activate. You see she can't really control it yet, so when it started activating she tried running away." Mirio explained as he pointed towards the girl in Rei's arms.
"When we got here she ran into you and her quirk went out of control." Mirio finished as Eri began to stir from her slumber.
"Did her quirk harm me in some way?" She questioned as Eri began to rub the sleepiness from her eyes.
"About that..." Izuku started before he gave Mirio a rather confused look.
"We don't know exactly what happened. " Mirio finished Izuku's sentence.
Eri finally fully awake looks at Rei for a moment before a bright smile erupts from her face.
"Mama!!" She yells hugging Rei tightly as all the occupants of the room looks confused.
"Ah what lively room." A older man in a lab coat says as he finally enters the room. Mirio stands up as he walks over to the doctor along with Izuku.
"So what exactly happened? Is Rei-chan gonna be ok?" Izuku questioned urgently as the doctor places a hand on his shoulder.
"Rei-san is going is going to be ok...in fact she's rathers fortunate." The doctor says as he reads over the clipboard on Rei's bed. Taking a seat next to her he hands over a sucker to Eri as he pats her head gently.
"Well I have some interesting news for you Rei-san. You see Eri's quirk is called rewind. We don't know the full capabilities of it,but all we know so far is that it can rewind the time of living objects." The doctor explains as Rei tries to understand the whole situation.
"Eri touched you for less than a full minute, but within those moments..." He pauses as he hands Rei a compacted hand mirror from his pocket. Confused she opens up the mirror too look at her reflect. She opened up the mirror slowly towards her face noticing a few...differences.
Her skin looked more...youthful. The rather noticable bag that were under her eyes were gone along the slight noticable wrinkles by her cheeks.
"You were de-aged by 10 years, Rei-san. You are in fact in physical peak condition. Your are completely healthy as well!" The doctor said with such excitement it felt uncomfortable for Rei.
"So what your saying is I'm 28-years old again...and I'm in perfect health?" Rei questioned a bit slowly trying to fully understand what happened to her.
"I...I'm healthy...does that mean I can..?"
Rei lowered her hand towards her midsection with a blank look making Eri look at her curiously.
"I'm sorry..." Eri misunderstood the expression for anger as she began to shake slightly. Rei placed her hand gently on Eri's head ruffling the girls hair slightly.
"I'm okay...I promise." Rei said confidently as she held Eri in her arms.
Izuku watched from the side slightly as he smiled at the scene before him. Strangely enough it gave him a sense of deja vu seeing the two together.
"I can't exactly put my finger on it..."
"I think you need some more rest now. You can leave tomorrow morning at the latest." The doctor said waving goodbye to everyone.
"Think we should get going as well, since it's already starting to get late." Mirio said picking up Eri and placing her on his shoulder. He gave Izuku a knowing wink and a finger gun ,before saying his goodbyes.
Silence enveloped the room for the two as Izuku awkwardly fiddled with his thumbs. Rei still looked conflicted, but she held strong in Izuku's presence.
"Sorry...I k-know this might be frightening to you." Izuku said worriedly as held her hand. He slowly rubbed his thumb across her knuckles, and admired the softness of them.
Rei peared over at him with a gentle smile as she tightened the grip on his hand.
"Thank you for always being here...Izu-Kun" She whispered slowly drifting back to sleep. Izuku studied her for a bit more before placing a light kiss on her cheek.
"I'll always be here for you."
