Chapter 3

Rumi's POV

An hour passed after I talked to Hawks, and I was able to return home. I still had a few bandages from the bruises earlier, but they didn't hurt that bad.

As I stepped out of the hospital, I was met with a bunch of paparazzi.

Apparently, a video of me failing to take down that villain was all over the internet. As I tried to walk away, they swarmed me with questions.

"Why did you fail to take down that villain?"

"Is electricity one of your weaknesses?"

"Are you and Hawks dating?"

I didn't know how to answer any of those questions. I could barely even formulate a sentence.

Then, I felt someone grab me, and quickly pull me away from the crowd.

"Rumi, are you okay?"

I turned around and was met with Ryuko Tatsuma, my friend.

"Yeah! Of course!" I replied, forcing a smile on my face.

She sighed.

"I'm sorry I didn't visit you in the hospital. I'm just hearing about the news. You sure you're okay?"

"Yeah." I lied.

"We should probably go to my place, this isn't a good hiding spot." She suggested.

So, I followed Ryuko' to her agency building.

When we were in her office, I sat down on a chair and tried to make myself comfortable.

"Want me to make you some tea?" She asked.

"No thanks. Got any carrots?"

"Of course, you'd ask that. I don't have carrots, Rumi."

"Yeah yeah."

"Anyway, we need to talk. What happened yesterday?"

"Nothing."

"Rumi, be honest with me! I want to hear your side of the story."

"I said nothing happened!!"

"Alright. If you don't fess up, I'll get Yu to come over here."

"Fine! I was really tired and I heard that a villain was in the area."

"And you decided to stop it? Classic, Rumi. Always working till your eyes are red."

I cleared my throat, "As I was saying, I was so drained of all my energy, but I stupidly decided to try to take down the villain. There, I told you the story! Happy now?"

"So where does Hawks come in?"

Oh crap, she knows.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, you know what I'm talking about. You stuttered. You never stutter."

"Ryuko!!"

"Tell me, Rumi!"

"Fine! When I passed out after almost getting killed, Hawks brought me to the hospital. Okay?! Is that it?"

"Is that all?"

"What do you mean, is that all?"

Ryuko stood up and grabbed the feather that was sticking out of my pocket. I gasped, before quickly snatching it from her hands.

"Seems like Hawks did more than just take you to the hospital. Don't you think?"

"It fell on the floor! I wanna give it back to him."

"He has a thousand of them! You think he's gonna notice one missing?"

Suddenly, I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket. I pulled it out and put it on speaker, so Ryuko could listen too. Basically, I was assigned a mission from Hero Safety Commission, and was told to be there in fifteen minutes.

"Fifteen? Looks like you better get going." Ryuko suggested.

"Yeah. Thanks for saving my ass back there."

"No problem. Bye Rumi."

"See ya."

I started running towards the location that was sent to me.

Fifteen? I'll make it there in two.
