Tinderella -Hawks (A mha fanfic)

Tinder

I wake up to the sun beaming in my eyes. I’ve really got to put up blinds man. My left side is killing me. I’m positive now that I’ve broken at least a rib. Groaning in pain, I rub my eyes. My mind flashes over the events of yesterday. That could have gone a lot worse than it did. I bet Westend Bar is closed until power is restored, which sucks for my rent and bills, but is good for me. I can stay home and recover for a couple weeks, while the power is being fixed everywhere. Riogeo should have no issues getting onto the power site and adding his own special cables. 

Every muscle in my body aches, but I force myself up anyway. I don’t really feel like eating, but I wouldn’t say no to some painkillers. I know I should probably go to the hospital, but I can’t risk it. My injuries line up way too much with the power issue and they might alert my family of my condition and location. Being found out is the last thing I need right now. 

My phone buzzes, but I ignore it and get up to get myself some medication. Taking the pills, I rest my hands on the counter giving myself a minute to stop my head from spinning. I hate fights. They always happen so fast and in the end the only thing to show for them is minimal damage. Taking a couple of good deep breaths, I feel some of the tension and dizziness leave my body and I stand up normally again. 

“This place is a disaster waiting to happen.” I mumble to myself and turn on the sink. I guess it’s time to wash the dishes. I let my sink fill with water and begin the long process of scrubbing clean a month's worth of dirty dishes. 

It takes a couple hours, but eventually all my dishes are clean and I can go back to being lazy. Biscuit and Elmo stand by the windows staring out into the world. They seem to know that something is different now too. 

My feet pitter patter across the floor and I reach down picking up my phone. The screen now has a minor crack in the corner, but nothing major. Ah, well. Turning on my phone, I look over my notifications. A few random emails and weather reports, but the only thing real is a missed call from Abigail and a reply from Midge.

Midget:
Sounds good. The power is out all over, but i’ll swing by tonight with some drinks and dinner. 

Good. At least I won’t have to worry about what I eat tonight. The food Midge gets is always the best. I send her back a string of emojis.

Me:

😍😍🥰😘 

A couple hours pass and sure enough Midge is here, knocking on my door. Getting up, I walk over to the door and tug it open. It wasn't locked.

"Hey!" I greet her, glancing at the bag of Chinese food in hand. Yum. She smiles at me and walks in, leaving me to close the door behind her.

"Girl, I'm so excited!" Midge squeals. I'm sure my confusion was clear on my face. Excited for what? The power outage? "I'm getting you on tinder tonight! We're totally getting you a boyfriend!" Midge sets the bag of food down on the counter and turns beaming at me. Ah, so that's her evil plan.

"That sounds like an awful idea." I laugh. "Nobody is gonna wanna go out with me." I point out.

She rolls her eyes at me and rips open the bag with our food. "That's why we have to make you look appealing." Reaching into my cabinet, she pulls out a freshly cleaned bowl. "You're hot and we're gonna sell you." She jokes.

I chuckle and help her by grabbing us some forks. "How'd you get that cut and bruise on your cheek anyway?" She asks out of nowhere.

Subconsciously, my hand moves to cover my cheek. "I...uh...fell down the stairs." I lie. What am I supposed to tell her? "OH yeah you know your favorite hero hottie? We had a little...scuffle."

Midge laughs, a loud full belly laugh. "You're such a klutz!" Chuckling, I play along. Not about to tell her the truth.

Midge gets herself a plate of food and leaves me to pick over the rest. I pile my plate high with delicious noodles and vegetables. My mouth waters. Heaven.

We make ourselves comfy on my bed and snuggle in chowing down on our food. It's silent, but only for a moment. "Alright, now hand over your phone!" Midge excitedly holds her hand out.

"No way." I mumble through a mouth full of food.

"Hey no fair! I fed you!" She has a point. Food = I probably owe her. Groaning, I shove my hand in my pocket and retrieve my phone. Quickly, I put in the password and delete my recent tabs, before handing it to her.

She squeals happily and navigates my phone, finding the apps to download tinder. She's going to be the death of me.

Sure, heros get in relationships all the time, but when's the last time you've heard of a notorious villain having a boyfriend? Like never. It just doesn't happen. I'm sure there's some evil rule of conduct banning relationships or something.

once the app is installed its practically game over for me. I've lost all hope in ever going back.
