Can I still be a hero?

Chapter 2

Kirishima woke up to the sound of humming next to him. His head felt like it was splinting and his eyes watered at the pain. He tried to move but he felt that he was strapped down to a table.

"Oh your awake" Someone said next to him. Kirishima looked over to see a bald man with a a mustache and giant goggles.

"W-Where am I" Kirishima rasped out.

"Why do you think I would tell you that?" The man said letting out a loud laugh. Kirishima struggled some more to try and free himself of the restraints. He attempted to harden his body but it didn't work.

"W-Why can't I use my quirk?" Kirishima panickly said.

"Oh don't worry, it isn't gone. We just used a drug to temporarily stop it" The man said before grinning widely. "After all, it would get in the way of the surgery"

Kirishima's eyes widened "S-Surgery!?" He said. He looked up to see a small scalpel in the "doctors" hand.

"Don't worry to much, this will just help you so you are more, compliant with us" The "doctor" said with a maniacal laugh as he got closer.

"WAIT WAIT NO" Kirishima yelled trying to fight the constraints as best he could, but to no avail.

"If you struggle to much then I might mess up" The doctor said at he pressed the scalpel into Kirishima's arm making Kirishima scream in pain. The "doctor" continued to cut into him as Kirishima was screaming, laughing psychotically the whole time.

It had been a while since the first cut, Kirishima had felt something being inserted into his body. His body and his brain felt numb. He knew he was crying and screaming but he felt as if he was not there, as if he was not present. The doctor tapped a needle, pushing the air out of it.

"Last step and this will be over, it seems like it was over way too fast" The "doctor" said with a grin as he inserted the needle into Kirishima. Kirishima's vision had started to go black and he let the darkness consume him.

"Time for the world to see the new and improved Red Riot"
