A Mere Detective

Chapter 7.

-Ochaco Pov-

I hate hospitals, they are always too sad. I hate seeing people hurt, or worse. I hate them, they smell like disinfectant, the staff act like they are nice even though they don't truly care. The last time I was at a hospital was when my father got in an accident at his construction company.

I hate having to hope that my homeroom teacher is okay. I hate having to worry so much. I know that I care too much sometimes. I know that I do, it's obvious, even with how oblivious I am to some things. I can tell that people don't like me because of how much I care. They find me annoying, too pushy, too happy. I just wish people would be happy, so if I have to fake a smile so they can be happy then so be it.

I just wish I could do something. Being a Hero is great and all, but I haven't been able to save anyone yet. I know that sounds so selfish, I know it does. But I can't stop feeling this way, I hate myself for feeling this way. I just want to save someone, I want to have someone rely on me. Instead of me feeling useless and having to rely on everybody else. I had to rely on Iida since the first day of school here. Bakugo during the sports festival. I even had to rely on Lemillion to take down Overhaul. I know that I wouldn't have been strong enough to do it.  I just wish I had the opportunity to prove myself. To show everyone that I'm not weak, to show myself that I'm not. 

Even with Aizawa-sensei, I did nothing. I couldn't help him when he was getting abducted. I was so useless. I couldn't find any evidence to help. Deku went to the school and found more evidence in three minutes than I ever could. I couldn't find Aizawa, I didn't even help. I was just on the side, I am really just a waste of space aren't I? I never want to feel this useless again. 

"Hey, are you okay?" A voice pulls me away from my mind.

"Y-yeah, I'm okay. Thank you for asking Lemillion." I relpy.

"Of course Uraraka, You can call me Mirio too. We don't have to be professional, its okay." He says.

"R-right, Mirio. I'll keep that in mind." I state. 

"If there's something that you need to talk about you can ask me, I could be of some help." Mirio says.

"No, its okay, I wouldn't want to bother you with my problems." I reply dejectedly. 

"Uraraka. It's no bother at all. You can trust me." He states.

I take a long sigh, not wanting to hold it in any longer.

"I just feel like I don't do enough, I feel useless. I don't think I am cut out to be a hero." I say, so quiet it's almost a whisper.

A few seconds of silence follows what I said. It feels like forever before Mirio says something. He probably thinks I am a selfish idiot. He probably thinks I am useless like everyone else.

"Uraraka, you do enough as a hero. Being a hero is an impossible task. Not everyone is going to get saved, there's times when we lose. There are times when the Villains win. We try our best, no matter what, that's what being a hero means, but sometimes, when our best isn't enough. We could die any time we go out in the field." Mirio continues.

"It isn't a matter of us hero's being good enough, I know that you do all you can. You are assigned to be a support hero, you have one of the most important jobs in the world. You help the innocent, you help the defenseless." He finishes.

"But Mirio, you are in the top 10 heroes. You have everyone looking up to you all the time. You are so strong. I am a nobody, I don't have a single person who relies on me, no one looks up to me the way that they do for you." I say, not meeting Mirio's gaze.
