Villainous Hero

38 | Lie To Me

(A/N)

Has it seriously been almost a year since I began writing this BNHA fan fiction? I started writing it on Sep 7th, 2018. wow.

That means Shiki's birthday is coming up.

Waking up in a hospital bed for the second time, I feel nostalgia. Not in the oh-I-missed-this sort of nostalgia, though. More like, oh-crap-why-am-I-here-again.

I rub the tiredness from my eyes. The shock of my quirk back still hurting my body but not as much as it had before. I'm just sore now. The real pain is the migraine that has taken up residence in my skull.

Something else about me feels different. Maybe I had just gotten used to being quirkless, but my quirk feels stronger than it was before All For One stole it. Other than that and the extremely devastating turn of events, I feel fine.

"You're awake!" A girl's voice says, relived.

Kita? A lump builds in my throat. Turning my head towards the voice I don't see my sister. Instead, I see Ochaco Uraraka, smiling down at me.

Upon seeing my innocent ex-classmate, the events at the camp came flooding back. Did the boys not tell her what I did to them all?

"The others from the camp who were injured are in this hospital too, in case you were wondering. Are you okay? When I heard the villains took you and Bakugou I got really worried." Uraraka said.

"Also...I'm not sure how to say this. Midoriya told me you're a villain..." I'm not really shocked that she knows. I figured the boys had already told every one of my affiliations with villains.

"I don't know why, but I'm guessing you must have a good reason. I just want to know... is it really true? I want to hear it from you." She looked at me with large eyes. Her mouth curved downwards, her eyebrows stitched together to show that she is upset.

Is that seriously the reason she came? Just to hear it from me that I've been, up until recently, working with the League? It's either bravery or foolishness for her to come to me alone, knowing what I am.

"If that's all you came for, you can leave." Irritation leaked into my voice.

"I don't understand. Why would you betray us like that? You're a hero like us, aren't you?" Uraraka said. She crossed her arms and stood her ground.

"It's complicated. Until today I was a villain. Now...I'm not sure anymore." Mid-sentence I realized how stupid I sound. It must not make any sense to her, she can't imagine the things I've done.

"They let me go, Uraraka. I'm not a villain anymore. I know it doesn't make sense. Please just leave, I have a lot on my mind right now." Explaining this will be too difficult. So I opt to not explaining it at all.

I've never seen Uraraka mad but I think I just did. Without another word, not even a disgruntled 'get well', she stormed out of my hospital room. What did I expect? I was rude to her.

The migraine pulsating in my temples makes me grind my teeth together. My thumbs push down on my head in an attempt to ease the pain. My vision is washed with red. A knock sounds on the door.

"Leave me alone, Uraraka!" I call the person I assume is my bothersome ex-classmate.

"Don't worry, she already left. You have to worry about yourself now." Aizawa walked right into my room. A hard expression on his face and his hands in fists.
