Lab Rat

3. The hospital

Izuku's pov:

I woke up in an all white room, the smell of disinfectant was fresh in the air. I slowly opened my eyes only to regret it. The light was so bright. Their was a steady beeping noise. I eventually stuck two and two together and came to the conclusion that I was in a hospital. I tried and failed to sit up. It wasn't that I didn't have the strength but being in a liquid filed tube for years messed with my sense of gravity and i misjudged the strength needed hence my failure.
"Ugh" I turned my head to find a giant caterpillar on the floor. Or so I thought as Aizawa climbed out of the yellow sack.
"h-Hello?" I asked trying to find my voice.
"yes, problem child?" Said the undeveloped butterfly as he rolled up his sleeping bag and placed it on the chair. When i didn't respond he asked
"So how are you feeling ?"
I didn't really know how to respond.
"I-i  don't know?"
"that sounded more like a question than an answer, kid." as a new person walked in.

Aizawa's pov:

I heard a ruffle come from the bed the kid was supposed to be in so I started to drag myself out of my comfy sleeping bag and low and behold , problem childs awake at a whopping 3 in the morning. Yay me.
"Ugh" I mourn still half way in my blessed sleeping bag But i pry myself out of heaven to ask the kid how he's feeling.
"h-Hello?" he sounded confused
"yes,problem child?" Not really expecting a response.
"so how are you feeling?" I ask
"I-i don't know?" well that doesn't sound good at all.
" that sounded more like a question than an answer,kid." As detective Tsukauchi walked in. Now how in the name of the god of coffee did he know to be here. It's God Damn 3 in the morning.
"hello Izuku, I'm Detective Naomasa Tsukauchi, How are you feeling?"
" I don't know" he said as he looked down.
"look ,kid there's nothing to be ashamed of, this is a confusing time for you, just try to answer his questions and maybe you can ask us some questions." I said seeing him get frustrated at his own confusion.
"O-ok" he responded trying to sit up , I lended him my arm to brace himself with.
Detective Tsukauchi pulled up a chair and took out his note pad before starting.
"Lets begin"

Izuku's pov:

"let's begin" he said
"what is your name?"
"Izuku Midoriya"
Truth
"what is your birth day?"
"July 15 xxxx"
Truth
" Are you willing to tell me about what happened?"
"At the lab?"
"Yes"
I hesitated but I know I should tell him but I don't want to bring back bad memories.
"y-Yes"
False
"Are you shore you feel comfortable telling me ?"
He knows?! He must have a quirk that can tell him  if i'm lying or not. I can't use half truths .
" I don't like the thought of bringing back memories of the lab , but I will tell you if I need to."
Truth
"It would help you if you did, Can You?"
"yes"
and i told him every thing  from the day i got thier to the time Aizawa got their .I even included the part about finding a comfy sleeping position when i first got my tail. And I made shore to tell him about the doctor's creepy smile.
I finished shacking a little my tail folded infront of me.

"do you have an questions?"
"yes, is my mom ok?"i looked him in the eye and i could tell he was wanting to avoid the question but couldn't. The look in his eyes gave me the answer but he told me anyways.
"I'm sorry Izuku, She died the day after you were kidnaped. Her heart couldn't handle the chemicals found in her system." I kinda expected but It still hurt. My head fell as I stared at my hands. 'were am I supposed to go now?' my mom was the only one that would except me.

'Oh really? What about me?'

I jerked a bit , I'm shore I thought that. The voice was so crisp and clear, almost soothing to hear. It wasn't an outside voice.
'I didn't mean to startle you, I only now became... Aware, but I mean no harm.'
Something about the voice made it clear it was telling the truth, but now wasn't the time to ponder it, Aizawa was about to say something .
"How would you like to stay at my place?" He said
I looked up to him tears stinging the corners of my eyes
"R-really, you would take me?"I said in disbelief
"Of course problem child, it would haunt me if something were to happen to you."

'he knows something we don't,but he has good intentions.' said the voice

'I agree, I kinda like him too, he never pries into things if he knows it makes me uncomfortable' I responded in thought
"Thank you Mr.Aizawa" I said almost shaking
"Drop the Mr , I don't really do formalities" he said calmly
"Ok.. Aizawa" I said trying not to stutter , it felt nice not having to worry about were I was going to stay .
"From what I know, the Doctor is gonna grab some items and preform a few tests before telling wether or not to release you from the hospital." He said . The voice must have sensed my anxiety rise

'don't worry Izuku, their not like the tests the crazy doctor conducted, they won't hurt'
It was reassuring but I was still nervous.
soon the doctor walked in and the detective took his leave.
Nothing escaped my observation , voice tone, body language, even stands all to inshore that the new doctor wasn't a threat. The voice seemed to find it amusing . The doctor checked my pulse and my breathing.
"you seem to be fine though you are a bit be hind on your vaccinations due to your kidnaping" the new doctor said lifting a small medal tray.

"vaccinations?" I ask , untill a flash of a plastic syringe caught my eye.
Before my mind had even processed what I saw I was already against the wall opposing the door, my tail curled in front of me. My eyes glowing a toxic emerald green. My mind and body were racing.
"Woah there problem child, breath" he said smoothly. He raised his hands just above his shoulders and slowly walked over . I hadn't even noticed that I was hyperventilating , still I didn't take my eyes of the doctor until Aizawa was right in front of me.
"Breath, it's fine. I'm sure they just .. forgot something about you." He said turning around and glaring at the doctor who quickly put the syringe back on the tray and Rush out returning with what looked like thick stickers. He handed them to Aizawa and he handed them to me before sitting on the floor in front of me.

"These are meant to be an alternative to standard vaccinations for those who have a fear of needles, they were supposed to bring these in the first time. Just stick them on your arm and don't worry about it . I'm going to have A ... Chat with the doctor." He said clearly angry at the doctors stupidity. Aizawa quick followed after the doctor and Izuku could hear him chewing him out.

He examined the strange stickers, there were 5 in total, I was still a bit anxious but I trust Aizawa. I carefully placed 3 of the stickers on my left arm and 2 on my right. They stung a bit but it wasn't bad, it was like the sting after getting pinched. I walked back to the bed and sat on the edge facing the door. It didn't take long for Aizawa to return.

Aizawa's POV:

If I had to explain Izuku in one word , it would be Alert. He seemed to always be watching, taking in everything around him . This would be a helpful tool for him In the future but he is quite jumpy. One hint at danger sent him flying across the damn room. Maybe he would calm down once he was in a stable environment. I quickly walked to the deck and filled out the discharge paperwork before returning to retrieve my problem child. He was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed when I walked in. Lucky for me it seemed that I had gained the trust of the kid , so at least he didn't bolt as soon as I entered the room. Though he looked like he was ready to bolt at a moments notice. 'well at least it looks like he used the vaccine patches '
"Come on kid it's time to go." I say calmly
"Go were?"he asked with a combination of curiosity and anxiety.
"Home kid, where else." I tried to say in a monotone voice but some of my sleepiness flowed out but it seemed to calm him a bit so I just stood there as he got up. I turned and started walking twords the door . As I exited the room I was surprised to find that he was hiding behind me as we walked down the hall way . I get that this is all new to him but I didn't expect for him to trust me so quickly. We walked out of the hospital and he slowed a little space between us ,the farthest he got was maybe about 2 meters. Well now I know that the problem child knows he's safe with me ... Oh shit I forgot to tell zashi about me bringing home the problem child.
