Shattered Ending?

Chapter 7: The hospital.

Chapter 7: The Hospital.

No One’s POV:

Vii woke up at around 4 pm that day. She was pale and shaky, with beads of cold sweat running down her face.

Vii POV: When I woke up, I felt like trash. I had over used my quirk big time and now had an electrolyte imbalance. Just great, I threw off an entire body system once again. I hate this aspect of my quirk because the physical backlash can take anywhere from a few days to a few months to recover from. I used nearly all the sodium in my body this time so I had at least a month of waking up at 4. A.M, nauseous and shaky to look forward to. Sighing, I relaxed into my pillows and looked around my hospital room. My hero costume was on a chair in the corner,my spear propped up against the wall. I was glad that nothing was damaged. I kept looking around the room and saw a nightstand with a clock and my phone atop it. There was nothing else to do in this boring hospital room so I decided to watch Naruto. I decided to back track a bit to Naruto and Gaara’s fight after the chunin exams, the best fight so far. I pressed play and…

The door to my room burst open revealing all my classmates, minus Bakugo who didn’t care at all. I looked at them and deadpanned. Seriously, I just wanna watch Naruto. Is that too much to ask! My classmates sweatdropped at my reaction so ‘smiled’ to lighten the mood a bit. No one said anything and things were getting kinda awkward. 

…

“Uhh… Hi guys,what’s up?” My tone was still kinda dull as usual. 

Pikachu- I mean, Kaminari spoke up. “Nothing much, just wanted to see how you were doing.”

“And ask a few questions!,” added to broccoli- I mean Midoriya. He had his notebook and a pen ready. I nodded as my classmates stepped into the room. I was curious about what they were gonna ask, even if my face didn’t show it. 

“ Alright well you said you had questions so go ahead, shoot,” I said with a ‘smile’.

Midoriya smiled and started asking a million and a half questions about my quirk. “ What’s your quirk called? Do you have more than one quirk? Does your quirk have something to do with your eyes? What’s the physical backlash/weakness of your quirk? Did you make part of your costum yourself? What are your parents' quirks? How did you find out about your quirk? Why did you arrive so late? What was…”

I had to tune to the boy out. There were a few questions that kind stung but I didn’t say anything. I came back to reality when I saw everyone staring at me. I took a deep breath before answering some of Midoriya’s questions. “I’m not sure what my quirk is called but I do have more than one. I can use the sodium in my body to create crystals and I can create purple fire by burning to CO2 in the air. If I use it too much then I will get an electrolyte imbalance which takes forever to recover from. I don’t know why it would have anything to do with my eyes and I’d rather not talk about my parents or why I arrived late.” I kinda yelled that last part, startling some of my peers but I honestly didn’t care. 

I think Midoriya felt bad about upsetting me so he reached out to pat my shoulder. I don’t do human contact so I simply push his hand and turned away. I really wanted them to leave so I mumbled a quiet,”..I’m sorry.” I think they got the hint so they all filled out, almost all of them. One person stayed, Todoroki.

“Hey are you ok?” There was concern in his voice, that much was clear.I gave him a small nod, hopping he would take the hint and leave but nooooo! This BOI sat down on the foot of my bed and kept pressing. “You sure?”

“Yes…”

“Ok.”

Todoroki POV: Well she’s obviously a closed book, but I need to know how she got so strong and where those scars around her eye came from.

“ You know, you’re pretty strong.”

“...” No reply. I sighed, I have an idea on how to get her to talk.

“The reason Midoriya asked if your quirk had something to do with your eyes was because of your fight with the Nomu.” She turned and looked at me like a confused puppy. I guess I have  to elaborate. “ While you were fighting, your bangs covering your right eye moved and well… your eye was red and the pupil was a very odd shape. This seemed to give you super speed and enhance your quirks. You were so full of bloodlust that the temperature in the room seemed to drop. Honestly, it was terrifying.”

Vii sat and hummed slightly, avoiding eye contact. She reached out and grabbed her phone, then unlocked it. First thing I saw was a weird sand creature with human legs fighting a blond child. She smiled and closed out of that before going to her contacts and handing her phone to me. “Could I have your number please? My dad said to try to be more social and you seem like a good friend.” I was kinda shocked so I nodded and put my number in her phone. “Thanks!” I gave her a smile and nodded. I got up to leave when I heard,” Do you wanna watch Naruto with me?” I didn’t know what that was but agreed anyway. 

***

I planned on only staying for one episode but ended up watching like four or five. Basically we watched the entire battle between the main character Naruto and some other dude named Gaara. It was pretty intense and I really enjoyed it, though whenever another character with black hair named Sasuke I think, appeared on the screen looking impressed/shocked by how strong Naruto was, Vii would squeal a bit and start mumbling stuff or punching the air which I thought was strange. This was the most emotion I had ever seen from her. Anyways, it was getting late and visiting hours were over so I had to leave. That’s fine. If I had stayed out any longer, who knows what Endeavour might have done.

Vii POV: After Todoroki left, I got an angry call from my father. He lectured me on how I need to be more careful if I ever wanted to surpass AllMight. Then, he shouted at me…

“PULL IT TOGETHER YOU QUIRKLESS LOSER UNLESS YOU WANT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE AS A WORTHLESS FAILURE!!” Then, he hung up.

“Y-yes d-dad…” Was all I could say, even though he wasn’t there anymore. I sighed, wondering how different life would be if my mom was still here.

Her quirk was purple fire, like the one my dad gave me. He knew that because of my mother’s DNA I would already have some resistance to the flames. 

I was told that my mother was kind and gentle and always helped when she could, even if she wasn’t a pro hero.

I thought about all those Saturdays when I was small, how me and my dad would go get ice cream and order an extra cone for my mom that we would always share. Her memory is what made those Saturday’s so bitter-sweet but still, I loved every second of it. 

I thought about the afternoons me and dad went to visit my grandma. She would tell us stories about my mom and grandpa. I never got to meet him. He died in a car crash a year before I was born. I was told that he and my mom were a lot alike. Kind and adventurous, always looking for the good in people. 

I miss them.

Is it possible to miss someone you never even knew? I think it is. 

I didn’t realize I was crying until a nurse came in and asked if I was alright. I nodded and said,” I was just thinking about things…” The nurse didn’t ask anymore questions and left. I was tired so I laid back in my pillows and went to sleep.
