the new Ironman

season 2 chapter 16

Izuku finally wakes up

*Izuku could hear the sound of the monitor, he could smell the scent of medicine and he could hear the muttering of the recovery girl so he knew where he was. He raised his hand over his eyes to protect them from the bright white light, as he opened his eyes. He looked around and saw/felt his body, much to his discomfort, he could feel the catheter on his third leg and the needle dripping IV fluids on his wrist. He slowly sat up straight, groaning over how dry his throat and mouth felt. His brain was still a bit of a haze as he tried to recall how he ended up here.*

Izuku: argh... I feel like shit.

Chiyo: Well you are malnourished, dehydrated, and some other things. What were you thinking staying awake so long?

*Chiyo said with a shake of her head and a disappointed sigh towards the boy who doesn't usually make it a habit to hurt himself. If he's training with Rumi that's completely different, Chiyo gets the type of training their doing, but something like this? It's very unusual for Izuku to be this reckless to the point that he has to visit her. Honestly, Chiyo expects that from Kyoka Jirou who's here every day about a fractured bone. Izuku nodded his head as his memory returned to him, he grabbed his phone and checked the date. He gave a small chuckle, at how much he missed and gave Chiyo a small grin.*

Izuku: To be fair. I didn't think I remained awake for such an affecting amount of time. I was more concentrated on my inventions. How bad is the damage?

Chiyo: You stayed awake for 5 days almost 6 full days with barely any food except meal replacement bars, water, and coffee. It's a miracle that you didn't have a heart attack.

*Chiyo said with a deep frown on her face, looking at Izuku's chart. All signs now were fine, and he was ready for the IV and the catheter to be taken out of his body. It was a big contrast to how he was when Nemuri brought him here, there was a slight concern that Izuku would suffer a heart attack in the middle of his healing, thankfully that didn't happen, but that doesn't change the fact that it could've happened. Izuku hummed as a response, his pride and ego, being low at this point, mostly caused his IV which was giving his body nutrients also had some morphine, so he was more relaxed ergo more honest and do the impossible. Izuku admitted he made a mistake.*

Izuku: Ok. So not my finest moment. I can admit I made a mistake. How long have I been asleep?

Chiyo: A full week. Would've been shorter, but I kept you in a coma-like state for longer so that you're body could recuperate with a mix of IV bags, and my powers.

*Chiyo said as she started to do her work, taking the things out of Izuku's body like the IV syringe, and the Catheter. Thank god that Izuku's body had morphine on it, for when the catheter was removed. Izuku nodded at the information and remained quiet as Chiyo did her work. He remembered what he was doing before he lost his mind to his vice since it wasn't just coffee that Izuku used. He also had an energy drink of 2 or 15 to keep him awake. After a lot of time thinking, Izuku spoke again when Chiyo finished removing the medical equipment from Izuku.*

Izuku: Ok. Not bad. Not like I missed the sports festival. That's not till.... god so fucking long from now. Why is it taking so long?

Chiyo: Because you're excited for your time to shine. The more excited you become, the longer it'll take.

*Chiyo said with a small chuckle, as she gave Izuku his clothes back, and closed the curtain as she walked to the other side of it. Izuku started to get dressed as he thought on it, it felt as if the days were getting longer and longer for him, as the sports festival started to feel like this nebulous thing that would never come. Of course, the reason is that the author is an asshole who likes to stretch things as much as possible, mostly because he prefers character interactions rather than plot progression.*
