Forced into this.

'Waking up and new introductions.'

Bakugo's POV
__________________________________

I woke up in the Recovery girls office, feeling disoriented and a bit groggy. It was like I had just blinked and suddenly found myself in a different place. The room slowly came into focus as my senses adjusted. It was a strange sensation as if I had been in a deep sleep and was just waking up. I realized that I must have passed out, Recovery girl was in a corner, sitting at her desk as she typed on her computer.  I'm dizzy, how could I have even passed out?

"Hey Kat, you're awake! You passed out, we're guessing from dehydration. How are you feeling?" She'd say with a sweet smile.

"My head hurts." I'd mumble, my head felt like it was pounding with every heartbeat. My throat was really dry as well. I had never passed out before until now, so this was a new experience.

"Would you like some water?" Recovery girl offered before handing me a small plastic cup of water, yuck, tap water.

I decided to drink it and be grateful that she even offered to help me. "Thanks." I'd mumble, before taking it and immediately chugging it. Who would've known I would have needed that water? I kind of neglected to make sure I drank enough. I'm useless, I couldn't even make sure I drank.

She'd smile at me before going back to typing. "Just make sure you rest now, if you need more water the sink is right there for you."

I'd nod at that before filling my cup up with more water and chugging it down more. I ended up taking 9 little shots of the water before becoming tired and going to sleep.

I soon woke up half an hour later, my head wasn't as bad as it was before, and I had a blanket on me, to my surprise Mr. Aizawa and Mr. Yamada were standing in front of the cot, talking to recovery girl, they hadn't noticed that I was awakened yet.

They were talking about something called age regression, and I didn't know what that was. I heard my name a few times, but I was too tired to understand what they were saying or getting at.

Soon Mr. Aizawa turned to me. "He's awake." He'd say, interrupting the two other adults. "Hey, kid." He had sympathy in his voice.

Instead of responding I pulled the covers over my head and covered my ears, hopefully, they would think that I was falling back asleep, I didn't want any of their attention on me right now.

"Kid, we know that you're awake." Mr. Yamada said, looking at him. "We need you to attend a meeting with us and Mr. Nezu, Kay?" His voice was a little soft, not as energetic as he normally was.

I'd nod a little bit. "I guess." I'd say before pulling the blanket off of my body, still holding onto it before standing up, my legs were sort of asleep so I kicked them a little to wake them up. The adults then led me out of the nurse's office.  "What time is it?" I'd tilt my head a bit, trying to find a clock. I was confused because no one was in the halls.

"It's 2:30 pm, Everyone is in class still, no worries buddy." Mr. Yamada said in response. I don't understand why he keeps calling me that. What I do know is that it's annoying.

"Can you stop with that?" I'd shoot a glance at him. "It's annoying." I was trying my best not to swear near him, earlier I had forgotten he was a teacher.

"Sorry kid." He'd mumble, I'd roll my eyes at that, but it was better than him calling me 'buddy.' I'm not fucking five.

We then walked into a small room, there were cameras, and what seemed to be noise-proof walls. This room was very protected, I couldn't help but be confused, were they kicking me out?

Mr. Nezu was sitting in a chair next to a very small desk before he motioned me to sit down on the opposite chair, which I was obedient and did as he asked.  "Good afternoon Katsuki." He'd say, with a serious face.

"Good afternoon sir." I cringed at my own words, tensing up a bit, and my palms began to become clammy. I didn't like this whatsoever, I could never handle confrontation well whatsoever, I'd either blow up or get uninterested. There were some times where I could but they were rare.

"I'm guessing you're wondering why you're in here?" I'd nod a bit in response, my only thoughts were me being kicked out, but I don't think they'd do that. I was a top student before everything happened.

"I and the school board have decided that it might be best to let you go.. bu-" I stopped listening to him after I heard that. Shit, shit, shit, I couldn't do this. This was the only thing that made me someone and something, without being at UA I wouldn't be able to go on. I was meant to be a hero, gods-sake I even knew that since I was young. There was no way they were doing this.

"Katsuki?" I was interrupted by my thoughts once again. I must've gotten too lost in my thoughts.

"Sorry." I'd mumble, my voice was a bit trembly, I could feel the concern and guilt in the other's eyes. Tears began to fog up my eyes, I couldn't go back now. I rarely cried in front of others but this hit me hard. I was preparing myself for this but who would've known all that preparation would go downhill? Im such a useless piece of shit.

"As I was saying before I was interrupted, but we did have an option if you wanted an opportunity to stay." Mr. Nezu said he was much calmer now, his voice was soft.

I immediately hinted up. "What is it?" I'd say quietly, trying my best to hide the tears and the snot that begun to run down my face.

"We've decided that the only way you can stay is if you try a coping mechanism called age regression." He'd say, folding his hands. He looked very serious.

I'd then stare blankly, The fuck even is that? I can already tell I don't like how it sounds by the title of it. It sounds weird.

Nezu saw the confusion on my face."Age regression is a concept where an individual, which in this circumstance is you, reverts to a younger age mentally or physically. Me and the other staff here agreed that it could be considered beneficial for you."

"You want me to act like I'm not my age?" I'd continue to stare. He sounds insane to me, why the hell would he want me to do that?

"Well no, it's not considered acting, it's reverting to a mindset, but if this fails and you can't do so, then maybe we'd have you try age-dreaming, it wouldn't be permanent as long as we can bring you back to your old self." He continued to have a serious look on his face. My head was now filled with a lot of thoughts.

He'd then continue to talk. "But in all, this would include a lot, like for instance, we're trying to have you regress to a baby or toddler headspace, or even a young child. We even have bought the supplies for you, along with a nursery, you even have people to care for you." This had to be some sick joke, he looked very serious though.

"That's fucking insane, why the hell are you doing this?" I immediately felt myself getting upset, clutching my fists. This sounded weird and gross to me.

He'd then hand me a stress ball."We want to help you Katsuki, think about it. We're giving you a chance to stay even though you've missed weeks of important lectures that would normally cause someone to be kicked out because we've realized that your mental health was going into a downfall. Think of this as a second chance, okay kid, plus think of it as a new opportunity, maybe you could find better coping skills?" As much as I hate to admit it, he was right. I did have a lot of risky behaviors lately so maybe trying this could help me. I didn't know though, as this still sounded like something I'd hate.

"Do you need a minute to make up your mind Kat?"

I'd nod a bit, sinking into my seat, what should I do? Just leave everything behind and forget all of my dreams of being a hero? Or just accept it, do as they say and then become a hero. My head went back to pounding, it was hard to concentrate on what I even wanted to do, in all truth, I didn't even know what I wanted to do.

Sorry guys, there's a cliffhanger, but let me know how you like this book so far, it seems uninteresting now, but once we get into him actually trying age-regression, and his stages of resentment towards it, and even more, then I'm sure that it will be better then these chapters, but in all these 2 chapters so far are important to the story.
