Breaking the system

Part 36

Hitoshi's P.O.V.

I know I shouldn't but ever since he saved me I can't help constantly searching for information about Swandive. He's just so cool, he managed decrease the crime in the areas even the heroes don't go, I understand why vigilante's are against the law. 'Their not trained and could be in danger because even though your morals are good you haven't been training for years to do this' and 'Even villains are still human if you hurt them you should get in trouble' and even 'You could end up like stain, right morals wrong actions.'

Dad has been drilling this into my head ever since the attack, I know he's trying to keep me save by doing this but I know he supports Swandive deep inside. He did save me after all. 

It has been two whole weeks but they still don't believe I was there by coincidence, I mean I wasn't. I wanted to know more about Swandive so I decided to sneak into the museum, it sounds stupid but I overheard pap and dad talking about a room the the police uses as a save for files on the most dangerous people they know. I couldn't get in before the creep with the mask caught me though.

What really sparked my interest in Swandive is the leap he did, because of the amount of noise it all made the news and media got there pretty quick and they got a lot on camera. The leap he did to save the kid but also the fact he killed the man, he's now gone beyond something they can hide. Everyone knows his name, the time of denying he even exists is over.

Izuku's P.O.V.

It hurt, I haven't been able to sleep for days. Not since I actually killed a guy, he ended up being just a messenger for the group he was in but I took a life. I took someone's son, someone's friend, someone's reason to smile. I talked to Gima and he said it was okay and that he was a bad guy but no one should die, not by my hand.

I groaned and turned around to face my alarm, "Its four PM, another night without a minute of sleep" I mumbled before getting up. I don't sleep and I'm not allowed on patrol for a bit because 'You need some rest, we'll take over your shifts', I still train with Akari but he goes soft on me. It's only one week until the exams and they wanted to talk to me about it after school, I did manage to learn how to use most of the weapons and if I pay attention to myself I can fight in the other style. All there's left to do is repeat it all until it's second nature. 

I walked over to my computer and once again searched up 'Swandive, hero or villain?' I need the support of the media, I know it's desperate and stupid but the only thing that keeps me up is the same as the reason I've been faking illness for the last three days. Mom doesn't understand what's going on but I've never asked her to let me stay home so she let's me be, I'm ging back today though. Hitoshi has been texting me nonstop asking if I'm okay, I've been ignoring him. I don't know why he was there but he looked me in the eyes, I know he can't see who I actually am under the mask but it scares me. But what scares me the most is losing him.

Akari's P.O.V.

This kid is a wreck, the past few days he hasn't been able to pay attention and the bags under his eyes scare me. I understand how difficult this is, I didn't do anything for weeks after my first ever kill. The fact he still shows up everyday to train shows how dedicated he is, this was a reality check though, we made a fifteen year old kid kill a man. I will start putting sessions in our training schedule when the entrance exams are over, I might be a vigilante but I'm still a licensed therapist first. 

"Akari, I know you're worried about Midoria but he's going to be okay" I heard the patient voice of Masako say, "I'm a therapist I can see when someone has trauma Aikawa, he always had it but it's getting worse and I'm worried out of my mind" I snapped back, "I'm sorry, I'm just stressed" I mumbled right after rubbing my forehead.

"He's a strong kid, he'll get through it"

Shinsou's P.O.V.

I was about to text Izu when I heard the familiar steps behind me, not many people realize that a side effect of my quirk causes my hearing to be a lot better, I noticed the way he tried to be sneaky. 'This idiot is trying to scare me' so instead of playing along I waited until he was super close, I turned around quickly and hugged him tightly. I heard the little yelp of surprise and it made me chuckle, "You're the one who figured out my hearing is better then most ans still you try to sneak up on me?" I mockingly asked him. "Oh yea, I forgot for a moment" He confessed with amused shame in his voice, I gave him a quick peck on the lips before letting him go. 

"Okay I know you wanted me to drop it but I'm worried about you, you weren't in school for three days. Did you even decided which school you're trying out for yet?" I asked him worried after a minute of walking, "I was just sick, and yes I did. I'm trying out for UA" he answered, I knew he was lying about the first part but I decided to respect his privacy, when he's ready to tell me he will.

"So we'll go to UA together, this is going to be so much fun"
