Sleeping for the next 24 to 30 hours, when I finally awoke I gasped for life sitting up. I ran through my hair. I felt different, physically still exhausted, but mentally I was ready to go. Getting up I felt my knees buckle under me making me gasp and reach out for just about anything. Holding myself somewhat upright I slowly inhaled and exhaled lifting myself back up onto my bed sitting there for a moment then grabbed my phone ignoring the hundreds of notifications that lined my phone screen I called Rue. Listening as the line rang I heard it click.
" Where have you been?!" They yelled.
" Sleeping," I answered.
" What do you mean by sleeping? Nix no one has been able to reach you!" They yelled at me, I could hear their voice cracking.
" Oh Rue honey, I was really just sleeping. I overdid it the other day." I told them. " I used too much at once. I'm safe and in my hotel room." I told them. " I've got myself deep, I'm going to go to the agency that everyone was talking about the other day before I pulled a sleeping beauty." I told them.
" P-Please do Nix." They stuttered.
" Rue. Please don't cry, I promise that I'm fine." I told them and they sniffled.
" I know, but you made me so worried, Nix." They told me and I gave a small smile.
" I know honey." I said.
" Please be safe Nix. I love you..." They whispered and I smiled.
" Promise. I love you too." I told them then hung up and then tried standing again this time it was a success. Going into the bathroom I peed like the first time in forever and showed before getting into some simple street clothes throwing my hair up into a messy bun then read through my notifications as I made my way to the agency that they has secured me about two days ago now.
Most of it was Nezu trying to get ahold of me, same with Aizawa, messages from Rue, and my dad, even a few from my mom. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose but kept walking towards the agency. Getting to the building itself it looked like a face, on the front in big orange and white letters read FATGUM I knew I was in the right spot. Going inside I approached the secretary's desk, they greeted me with a wide smile.
" How can I help you today darling?" They asked warmly.
" Is Fatgum in? I'm about a day and a half late for our meeting..." I confessed scratching the back of my neck bashfully.
" You're the American hero!" They exclaimed and I smiled, flashing a small wave at her.
" That's me," I told them. " I'm sorry for being late."
" Oh no worries honey! Let me call him down for you." The secretary said then called for FatGum. It didn't take long before a tall large man entered the room, a bowl of food in his hand as he approached the desk.
" Thank you Sonya." He said. " You must be the hero from the states UA asked to come in. Let me introduce myself, nice to meet ya, names Fatgum!" Fatgum said with a wide smile on his face, I returned it then stuck out my hand to shake his seeing how huge his hand was.
" Damn your hands are huge," I muttered, making him laugh as I shook a finger. " Sorry 'bout that, as you heard I'm Nixie, I'm glad I can come help protect these kids from this new group. But you do know I don't work as a normal hero. I also want to thank you the most, Fatgum, it means the world to me that you'd be willing to hide me from the press." I told him and he smiled warmly at me.
" These kids should be thankful for you coming to protect them. Now, what can I do to help you the most?" He asked and I blushed looking down at the ground feeling like a stupid freshman again.
