"M-Mom?" 

"Oh Izuku, thank goodness you're awake." Inko said, with tears in her eyes. 

"Mom? Where are we?" 

"You don't remember? The Police found you and took you to the hospital as soon as they could. They said you sprained your wrist, but what were you doing in an abandoned building?" Inko asked. 

"Oh-" 

'That's right, me and Kacchan found members of the League; Mustard and Moonfish. Wait- where's Kacchan?'

Katsuki slowly woke up to find himself in a hospital room all by himself. 

'What the hell? Why am I in a hospital?' he thought. 

"You're awake." 

Katsuki turned his head to see a woman who looked to be a nurse walking in with a warm smile. She had Dark Gray hair and Lilac eyes and walked up to the dog. 

'What happened to me?' he thought. 

"I'm sure you're wondering how you got in this mess, but I'm also wondering if you're feeling any pain at the moment." the woman said. 

"Ah- crap, I forgot I got tased in the stomach." he growled. 

"I see, so it seems you must be feeling sore?" 

"Yeah- wait-" 

Katsuki looked at the woman and squinted his eyes at her.

"Can you understand me?" 

"Hmph, yes sir, I can." 

"Are you... a Grim Reaper?" 

"No sir, I'm a spirit. I'm an Ox spirit to be exact. My name is Satoko Gladiolus." she said sweetly. 

'Is this a trap? This has to be a trap.' he thought. 

"No need to be afraid of me, I'm just a nurse, so please don't be tensed up around me. My boss is a doctor here, he's a Grim Reaper." she said. 

"What hospital are we at?" 

"Hmph, this is the Pumilum Hospital, I'm sure you've never heard this name before, have you? Oh silly me, I think it would be better if I just do this. Shift." she said and snapped her fingers for the dog to turn into a human.

"What the- you can do it too?" 

"Well, I did find you wearing that collar when you came here. I figure Aster gave it to you?" 

Katsuki looked at his neck to see the same collar that he wore when Aster gave it to him. 

"Wait- You know him?" 

"Of course, all assistants know each other, as well as Grim Reapers. Now then, mind if I check your vitals very quickly, don't worry, if you tell me something's uncomfortable, let me know." she said, and Katsuki remained calm. 

"Quite impressive you didn't gain any marks or scars from that powerful shock from the taser the Police found." Satoko said. 

"Is that bad?" 

"Of course not, but you will have a bruise on your stomach for a few days." Satoko said.

'Never thought getting tased would hurt this much, this is annoying.' he thought. 

"Well then, that's all I needed to check, do you have any questions?" 

"Yeah, how the hell can you and that guy you mentioned before turn me back to normal but I can't do it myself?" Katsuki asked.
