My Old Hero

88: Flu

Emra and Izumi showed Mahoro and Katsuma around Japan and they were surprised by how big it was. 

"Our dad always told us how busy it was here." Mahoro said. 

"Did your dad used to work in Japan?" Izumi asked. 

"He did, but that was before he got his quirk taken away by a villain. It's okay, because we get to see our dad a lot more now." Mahoro said. 

"So then, do you two have amazing quirks?" Izumi asked. 

"Yup, me and Mahoro want to be heroes just like Bakugo!" Katsuma said, Izumi froze. She was surprised they knew Katsuki, but she smiled. 

"I see, it makes sense why you would want to be like Katsuki, he's strong and powerful, and he's always the best out there." Izumi said happily.

"Hey Emra, is it alright for us to visit him today?" Izumi asked. 

"I'm sure Takashi wouldn't mind, but we can't stay the whole day." Emra said, Izumi nodded.

They got to the hospital and saw Takashi was in the lobby talking to a few other patients. Once he finished talking to the other patients, he saw Emra and walked up to them. 

"Emra, is there something- Izumi! You're here again." Takashi said. 

"Sorry if I keep visiting, I just wanted to make sure he was okay." Izumi said. Takashi looked behind Izumi and saw Mahoro and Katsuma behind her. 

'Who're these two kids?' Takashi thought. 

"Is it alright if we just go see him for a little bit today?" Izumi asked. 

"S-Sure, go on ahead." Takashi said. Izumi nodded and had Mahoro and Katsuma follow her.

When Izumi was out of the lobby, Takashi looked at Emra. 

"Any reason why there are two teenagers with you and Izumi?" Takashi asked. 

"It would be best if we don't talk about this here." Emra said. Takashi wasn't sure why she was acting a bit discreet, but he realized this had to do with something about Katsuki.

"That boy has a Cell Activation quirk? Are you sure?" Takashi asked. 

"Eraserhead and All Might brought him here, the two of them already knew of Katsuki before this. Apparently Katsuki saved their hometown, Nabu Island, so they wanted to come and do him a favor. They already know he's in the hospital, but Izumi doesn't know that Katsuma has this quirk. Eraserhead said to wait until Monday to have Katsuma use his quirk to fix Katsuki." Emra said. 

"Until Monday, I'm not sure that's a good idea. Then again, I've been getting more and more patients by the day from all these other villain incidents. Izumi's still doing okay, right?" Takashi asked.

"From what it looks like, she seems fine. She got through work and the small hero activities last week." Emra said. 

"I just want to make sure her mentality is okay. She's been visiting this hospital ever since you told her she could. I just hope that boy can use his quirk at his full potential to fix everything wrong with Katsuki. I don't want to have him go under surgery and risk having to retire because of the aftermath." Takashi said. 

"Right, let's just hope he can do it." Emra said.

Izumi opened the door slowly. 

"Kacchan~ I brought some guests, would you be alright with them coming in?" Izumi said sweetly. Though she knew there wasn't going to be a response, she imagined what he would've said.
