Come Back to Me (Izuocha)

Chapter 30: End

I opened my eyes to see a rounded glass wall and a large room beyond it. As my eyes drifted around slowly I saw the tobes and chords stuck all over me,

I also became aware of the mask on my face which allowed me to breathe.

I slowly let my eyes drift back to the room beyond the machine that had been keeping me alive. As I did, I noticed a nurse on the other side that was staring at wide-eyed as if they were looking at a ghost before they left the room in a hurry.

A little bit later several people entered the room and after they seemed to examine the machines around my life support system for a bit they began to extract me from it.

As my feet made contact with the ground for the first time since I had been placed inside that thing, the room began to spin and I fell to the floor.

"Easy there Midoriya," the doctor next to me advised.

"You just came out of a coma, you need to take these things slowly."

I nodded and slowly got to my feet, luckily I didn't fall this time.

I looked down at the ground as I did so and got confused by something but before I could get my thoughts in order someone came in with a shirt and pants for me to put on, which I accepted thankfully.

I entered the changing room and froze as I saw the person in the mirror. Since when had I been this tall or muscular?.

I wasn't looking at the 15-year-old boy I was used to seeing.

I put on the clothes they had given me and left the changing room.

I found the doctor waiting for me outside but before he had the chance to say anything I said.

"Doctor? How long have I been asleep?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I walked through the busy streets of the city building accompanied by my rapid beating heart.

I was more scared right now then I had ever been in my life.

After I had asked they told me that I had been in a coma for approximately two years. I guess now I knew what the woman in my coma dream had meant when she said that things were going to be different.

The news of this was quite difficult for me to hear. I had missed out on two full years of my life.

I was 17 now apparently.

During this time it seems that puberty took a bigger effect on me which explained why I had grown taller and why my muscle mass had increased.

After experimenting I found out that I could now handle at least 30% of One for All, which was a good thing. There weren't many good things I could come up with for the situation I was in.

My first thought after I was discharged was to find Ochako of course. I eventually found out she was currently on the other side of the city while school was having a small break.

But as I walked towards the hotel building I was told he was at I began to have second thoughts.

Maybe she wouldn't want to see me. Maybe she found someone other than me.

I couldn't expect her to just wait while I was in a coma for two years.

I was in the elevator at this point heading towards her floor as more and more doubts entered my mind.

I reached her doorway but hesitated to knock.

Was I even ready for this?

Unfortunately, I never had the chance to answer my own question as the door opened right in front of me.
