Aspirations
Chapter 22

You looked down from your perch as the sirens screamed through the air. The villains that had come out to hurt people had been taken care of and were going to be punished. But it seemed like the hero had been hurt too. What you didn't understand was how no one seemed to be moving in to help the hero; they were all moving around like it was all okay.

You felt a hand on your head. Warm, strong, and big. You looked up at the man. He was really tall. Then again, most adults were tall to four year old kids.

"Why no one help him?" You asked

"Because they've learned not to," the man said evenly.

"Why?"

"The laws tell them not to help."

"That's stupid," you said as you looked back down at them. "That law should go away!"

The man chuckled and patted your head, "One day, when the time is right, they will. Everyone will be free to help then."

"Need help now," you grumbled out your thought in an incomplete sentence.

"One day."

"No now! I go help!"

Before the man watching over you could respond, the door to the side opened up. You turned to look to see who was about to come through it. You smiled but the look on her face made you worry. Your mother stood, completely still, as he passed by her. They might have said something but it was too quiet for you to hear from where you were. You just knew that your mommy was worried. So when it was safe to, you hurried over to her and hugged her legs. Any thoughts about helping the other hero that had been hurt faded quickly.

Your turned over from your spot lying prone on your stomach to grab blurrily at your cellphone. The blasted thing had been going off intermittently for the last couple of minutes and you wanted to know why. Especially since the sun was barely up. Once you got hold of the piece of technology you checked all the usual things; No missed calls and no preset alarms. You were about to turn over and pretend the device didn't exist again when your mind finally caught up with your eyes.

There was something in your notifications and reminders. You yawned and blinked, almost falling back to sleep completely but pushed through that as you woke yourself up with your cellphone in your hands. What were you doing again? Oh...right...checking your calendar. To your astonishment, someone had scheduled an appointment. In 10 minutes.

You stared at it in disbelief.

Who the hell would have been able to schedule an appointment in your system at this time of the morning? You were pretty sure that the scheduling application you used for your business wouldn't let anyone make an appointment before 11 in the morning. It used to be 9 before you were recruited by U.A but you had changed it. You hadn't had any regular clients that booked that early anyways. Aizawa had been the closest as you'd given him free reign to fit his schedule but so far he'd been the only pro-hero you'd done that for. So who they heck had been able to bypass your system?!

You sat up from your bed slowly. That way you didn't get a head rush. You tried to take stock of the situation. 10 minutes wasn't a lot of time. You got dressed in something warm, comfortable and easy to put on. You hastily brushed your teeth and wrapped your hair up into the messiest of buns; you didn't have time to properly brush it. With 4 minutes left, you were walking into some slip on shoes and you were out of your door with nothing but your cellphone in hand.
