The mechanic (Old Version)

chapter 129 therapy for a hero

Author not:so! My parents are forcing i mean taking me to some graduation for some cousin i don't even know so guess who's getting an extra chapter since i just love y'all's comments

Lee:you seem uncomfortable

Izuku:because i am. I've...never been big on therapy, i mean i just....don't get it

Lee: that's perfectly normal not a lot of people do, please sit down

*Izuku sighed and sat down, like he promised Izuku Midoriya was finally in therapy, izuku's foot was fidgeting as he looked around the room*

Lee: let's start with why your here

Izuku:there's not really a lot to tell, i promised my fiancee that i would come here, and here i am

Lee:and already deflecting my question. Want to try that again?

*Izuku sighed rubbing the back of his neck, he didn't talk for a few seconds before he finally opened his mouth*

Izuku:my wife wants me here because of my need to put everyone before me, how about that?

Lee:not bad, but i can still sense your not being entirely truthful

Izuku:I'm gonna take a wild guess and say your quirk allows you to read people's emotions

Lee:correct. I have a weak version of a lying detector quirk. Instead of knowing that they're lying i can sense the change in emotions, which made me choose this line of work, i can sense something bothering you a recurring nightmare but not much more then that

*Izuku sighed feeling annoyed that they were already touching that subject*

Lee:we don't have to discuss it until your ready Mr. Midoriya

Izuku:what if i don't want to discuss it?

Lee:that's fine i get paid either way, honestly you can just sit there without saying a word and i would still get paid. But in turn you would feel shame and like your lying your fiancee, you care for her deeply don't you?

Izuku:yes, i love her with all my heart

Lee:so the nightmares are about her?

Izuku:....yes

Lee:i see so we're dealing with Anakin syndrome

Izuku:what?

Lee:oh sorry it's just how I call it, you fear the death of your love one and how your powerless to stop it

Izuku:because i am. I don't have a quirk, I'm disabled, they're days i can't even get out of bed because my back pain is too great, i use a cane, i can't do anything but run with her in case things get dangerous

Lee:it's not healthy to live a life of fear Mr. Midoriya

Izuku:hard not to when the majority of this island hates my guts, I'm sure you know the basic of what happened to me, my time in jail, the trial, stuff like that

Lee:i did must've been hard, 6 years of your
Life taken from you because of fear, four years of hiding because of fear. It's only natural that your fears are starting to sip inside your mind

Izuku:que será será

Lee:what will be will be yes. But you can't tell me it doesn't affect you

Izuku:of course it does if it wasn't for that fear, because of the Todoroki family i would be a pro hero right about now, i would be out there saving people

Lee:and married to momo yapyorozu, while tsuyu would probably be alone or with someone else. I sense hatred you don't like that outcome?

Izuku:the idea of tsuyu being with someone else romantically is... Unsettling to say the least
