    Four days have passed since I have showed three assassins the miracle that is movies. Since Shigiraki had work to do with the League Gonzoe is taking me to the hospital for a check up. It's probably better this way anyways since Gonzoe's face is less recognizable.

    " So I heard that you guys got in a little trouble because I had you guys stay and finish the movie."

    " You didn't have us do anything. We chose to stay. Morticia told us everything that went on in the first two during the debriefing so the two of us understood why she wanted to finish the story. She was raised to believe that things like movies were meaningless while we were trained to think that way. So the reason we were punished was because we have in to our temptation and done something that had nothing to do with our job." Is being an assassin really that sad?

    " Well that's just stupid." He looked at me confused.

    " How so?"

    " You should be allowed to enjoy yourself every once in a while. My job is to cook food for kids and serve it. If I was to focus on nothing but cooking and serving for my whole life I would grow tired of it. You're forced to focus on taking down whoever you are paid to hunt. Don't you ever grow tired of it?"

    " Once you enter this line of work we kill who we are paid to kill. Some people we may know, someone may even be hired to kill their own grandmother. You never know what face will be put on your desk. So things like emotions are suppressed. Tired, as you stated it, is an emotion. So to answer your question, no, I do not get tired of it." These assassins live a sad life.

    " What about vacation days? Do you get those?"

    " If you're thinking of entering the buisness I advise you to stay with the cooking."

    " Just answer the question." He sighed.

    " Yes. We get holidays off and if you have a good  record we get told we can have a week or two off."

    " Then why not indulge in the good things on those days?"

    " This is really bugging you isn't it?" He opened the hospital door for me and I used the walker I had to go in while he watched.

    " I just think that you guys need to enjoy life more. Four days ago you looked so relaxed. You were wearing a smile and enjoying yourself. Now you look like if you even crack a smile you will be killed. When I first met Morti she was cold towards me. Showed her a couple of episodes of a spy show and she smiling and pointing out every inaccuracy. She left my house with a smile and a promise to come back. My point is it won't kill you to let loose every once in a while."

    " Actually it will prolong your life. If you stay so tense your lifespan will shorten. Listen to the girl if you want to live a long, happy life." The desk lady said.

    " I guess it won't hurt but where would I start. All I've known is do my job to put food on the table." He filled out the forms that needed to be filled out. How did he know my information? Oh yeah, he's an assassin. It was probably easy to get that information.

    " Ok when do you have a day off?"

    " Um let's see. I have Rodgers scheduled for next Monday. Mayberry scheduled that Thursday and then Pyle schedule Sunday so Wednesday after next." Did he just tell me his hit list?

    " Ok depending on how this visit goes you will have to schedule that day for l/n. Not in that way but in a... You know what I mean."

    " If I scheduled you that way I would have to deal with two angry assassins and the leader of the League." The desk lady gave me a look that read should I be worried.

    " He's exaggerating. He was actually comparing my family to them. My boyfriend here is very dramatic." I gave her a reassuring smile.

    " Well Dr. Evans just called and said to have you head to room 301. Take Mr. Drama Queen with you. I don't know how I feel about having him stay here." I thanked her and pulled Gonzoe towards the door as best I could.

    " Why did you lie to her?"

    " Ok in my world you can't go around saying you know villains and assassins. It could get you locked up. I don't know about you but I don't want to end up in the slammer." Room 301. Here it is. " Help me onto the bed. I don't want to strain my side too much."

    Gonzoe lifted me onto the bed and sat in a chair by the wall. We didn't have to wait long before someone came in to look at my side. He left the room not too long after. A little bit later a familiar face came in. It was Recovery Girl.

    " From the looks of it I can heal your side now without using up too much energy. I was told to come and give you the offer." Gonzoe looked at me and I sighed.

    " Can I converse with my caretaker for a moment. You see we've gotten kind of close and if I do this it may be a while before I can see him again."

    " Sure darling. Take all the time you need." She left the room and it fell into a very brief silence.

    " You should do it. You'll be able to go back to your normal life."

    " No I won't. I can't go back to working as a chef at UA." The memories of that day in my kitchen came rushing back to me. " Lunch Rush would have to rearrange the kitchen. Years of working with that system would be changed in a day. For a few weeks he would be disoriented and I would be the cause. So I can't go back to my normal life."

    " Then you can go back to a semi normal life."

    " A semi normal life where I won't be able to see my friends unless I schedule a time for them. I'd be spending most of my time looking for a job. I would have to say goodbye to Shiggy because I'd be thrust back into the world of heroes."

    " Not necessarily." Huh? " You could find a job with the not so good side. You would be able to see us on most days and with our names a place would hire you," he snapped his fingers, " like that."

    " But then I'd have to give up the hero friends I have."

    " You have been hanging out with Shigiraki daily and they still don't know. You're safe. Plus if they do find out we can save you. Go ahead and heal your side. I'll keep it a secret from Shiggy and you can surprise him tomorrow. How about that." Gonzoe actually smiled.

    " Ok I'll do it but you owe me. After I do this you're taking me to get some good food at the restaurant of my choosing."

    " Got it." He went to the door and waved his hand to let Recovery Girl know that we've made up our minds. She healed my side up after we told her the choice.

    " So are you coming back to UA to work next week?"

    " Sadly no. Lunch Rush will understand why." She nodded.

    " I am sad to hear it. You were fun to talk with. I know that Midoriya boy misses you. He was in my office the other day."

    " Oh I know. That fight with Todoroki had me on the edge of my seat the fifteen times I viewed it. I also felt bad for Iida when Mei used him for an infomercial. And to top it off he got that news about his brother. Speaking of the boy isn't that him?"

    Iida had sped past the door at that moment. Recovery Girl nodded and explained how the kids were leaving tomorrow to go on Field Training. Iida was most likely saying farewell to his brother for now.

    After that she left herself. She was going back to the school to gather her stuff for home. The doctor came in and gave me permission to leave.
