It took a lot of convincing and nerve for the alpha to finally climb into his car and drive to the wellness clinic on the other side of the city. Days have passed after the court ordered him to go for counseling, Katsuki was understandably upset. However, this fate was far better than to lose his hero license permanently.

He hired one of the best lawyers he could get a hold of, they came highly recommended by multiple other heroes who have gotten served with a lawsuit in the past. Most of the time he managed to get the claims reducted and the case was dismissed by the judge. But there was nothing to be done when there was such an overwhelming amount of evidence against the blonde. He was practically recorded from every angle possible.

The best he could do was convince the judge to temporarily revoke the Hero's license and assign him to get counseling from a professional. However, if it didn't prove to work, Katsuki's career as a hero would be as good as over. The alpha had exactly three months to set his behavior straight before he would be allowed back on patrol or missions. Even then, Katsuki would have to get written approval from the Holistic Wellness Specialist he has yet to meet.

He wasn't particularly nervous but the alpha was definitely dreading it. Katsuki already hated it enough that people wouldn't stop bothering him with personal questions about his life during interviews with the public. Now he would have to endure it for three months with a complete stranger.

The alpha drove into the parking lot before he turned off his engine and pulled his keys out of the ignition. He scrambled around his car, searching for his baseball cap that Kirishima had borrowed to him, along with some glasses and a mask. Living as the number five hero had it's quirks, but it also had a lot of drawbacks. Katsuki couldn't count how many times him and the other Pro Heroes he knows have been swarmed by a sea of paparazzi as soon as they're noticed.

Bakugou pulled the mask over his ears and placed the hat on his head. Just as the Alpha was climbing out of the car, his phone vibrated inside of his pocket. Katsuki pulled his phone from his back pocket while simultaneously slipping the glasses over his face. Katsuki looked down at the caller ID before his eyes narrowed. It was an unsaved number.

The blonde let out annoyed groan before reluctantly answering the phone and pushing it against his ear. "What?" Bakugou asked while locking his car and heading for the entrance of the clinic. It was pretty common for unsaved numbers to call him. A lot of fashion companies or businesses would ask Heroes to collab with them. Katsuki, of course, was always on top of the market for this sort of thing.

However, seemed like that wasn't the case. "Hello, Katsuki. How are you?"  The voice spoke in a false sweetness. Bakugou quickly realized who was speaking and had to force himself not to end the call right then and there. "How the hell did you get this number? I blocked you and got a new one." He asked, stepping up to the stairs leading to the building's entrance. 

"We need to talk, Katsuki. I want to explain-" The sentence was barely finished before the alpha interjected. "I don't want to hear hear it, what you did already said enough, don't call this number again." The alpha said before he hung up and pushed his phone into his back pocket. "Fucking annoying...." He muttered to himself as he neared the entrance, the door being opened for him from the assistant positioned right next to it. 

"Welcome sir." They greeted friendly while they gave him a small bow while the blonde walked in. Figures, this was one of the best counseling centers in the city. One of the most expensive too. The alpha didn't acknowledge the greeter at all and walked right past her.

He was immediately greeted by an aura of refined elegance. The expansive lobby was bathed in soft, ambient light that spilled from intricate chandeliers hanging from the high, vaulted ceiling. The floor was a glossy marble, reflecting the shimmering light and adding a touch of grandeur to the space.
