18: Hospital Stay Again

❖A/n: I feeling a lot better now, thanks to everyone being patient. I was able to finish this chapter! Hope you enjoy~❖

Y/n slowly opened her eyes to voices. You groaned and turned to your side so you could go back to sleep. A sudden jolt of pain shot through your arm. Next thing you know you were suddenly tumbling off the bed. Before you could hit the ground a pair of arms caught you.

You looked behind you see familiar mismatched locks. "Todoroki," you rasped. God, I need water I sound like some cranky old dude, you thought as he hoisted you back on the bed. He turned around and came back with a glass of water. You nodded in thanks not trusting your voice and drank deeply.

You flinched as your stomach cramped, "How long was I out?" you asked clutching your side. You noticed Iida and Midoriya share a look and you quirked an eyebrow at the green-haired boy.

"W-well you see, you suffered from a lot of injures. And you somehow healed Todoroki—"

"Almost three days," Todoroki interrupted. Your eyes widened and you stared at the empty cup, your thoughts running.

"...I wasn't that badly injured though, I mean Iida was probably the worst from all of us," you pointed out.

"That's actually not true..." Iida trailed off, refusing to meet your gaze.

"..Your back," Midoriya finally whispered.

Y/n's e/c irises flashed her hand instinctively going to the collar of the hospital gown. And sure enough, new bandages had been done. Your hand clutched the cloth as you sucked in a breathe.

"Y/n...how did you get those wounds?" Midoriya asked, his eyes digging holes into you.

...

Should I tell them or...

You sighed raising your head, you smiled softly. "Don't worry I just fell down the stairs and happened to stumble into a vase," you replied chuckling.

"What!? Y/n you need to be more careful!" Iida scolded doing his signature hand movements. Well  he was trying to at least. You laughed and apologized repeatedly trying to stop his nagging. But you could feel the pit in your stomach grow at the lie. What you didn't realize was that Todoroki was watching you silently. When you turned to him he quickly averted his gaze, frowning at the far wall.

"I see all our little wounded warriors are awake!"

You all turned to the door to see Gran Torino, Manual, and another...person? Gran Torino and Manual moved to the side to let them in, "You guys have a visitor. This is Hosu's Chief of Police, Mr. Kenji Tsuragamae," Gran Torino introduced. The chief was some sort of dog man, he even said 'woof' when he asked us to stay seated.

"So you're the UA students who put a stop to the Hero Killer, right?" he looked at each of us in turn. "The Hero Killer is in treatment for his burns, broken bones, and several other serious injuries."

You could tell the other three were surprised by this and a tad guilty too, it seems you weren't alone on the latter at least.

"I'm sure you know that when quirks first came out, the police made sure they weren't used as weapons, and then heroes appeared," you glanced at Manual and Gran Torino to see their stoic expressions. This isn't going to end well, you thought turning back to the chief.

"Using such powers, that can easily kill, while trying to apprehended evil. It's only used thanks to the early heroes that followed the ethics and rules of the profession, that we're able to teach new heroes," he stared us straight in the eye before adding. "For individuals to use it without specific instructions from their guardians is a clear violation of those rules!"
