Blood of a Villain || MHA Fic! ||

33: Take the Stand

I realized I never actually published Izumi's picture so really late but here y'all go xD

-------------------------------------

No one had entered my hospital room in over a week.

It seems like everyone was trying to avoid me, and I couldn't help but start feeling lonely. I'd fall asleep and food would appear at my bedside table by the time I woke up. Once in a while, the room would be cleaned or new plants would appear. But I never saw anyone.

I clicked another piece into place in the puzzle just as my phone vibrated from beside me. My muscles had gotten strong enough for me to get up and down. I couldn't walk around well, but I was able to get to the floor near the window and then back up onto the bed later. I'd been putting together the puzzle Iida gave me. I had just finished the outside and was starting to fill the inside.

From: Rocky (12:54 pm)

It's so weird.

Mr. Aizawa told us that now not even Nezu or All Might are allowed to visit you now

To: Rocky (12:56 pm)

They wanted to take my phone away too, but Mr. Aizawa went down to the station to talk to the police chief

I don't know what he said, but they gave it back

They're monitoring my activity though

I placed it back down on the floor and glanced at the piece I'd picked up. Studying the puzzle for a minute, it took me a few tries before I snapped it in and picked up another piece. My phone buzzed before I could test it anywhere.

From: Rocky (1:00 pm)

Everyone's talking about you like you're the most dangerous criminal on the streets right now and I hate it!

Everyone in our class just wishes that we could prove how nice you are

To: Rocky (1:01 pm)

I just hope they'll let me go back to UA

I've had so much fun there

And I really like having you all as friends...

From: Rocky (1:01 pm)

We all miss having you around

Also, remember when you asked everyone if a villain could become a hero?

I faltered slightly when I read the most recent message. Yeah. It was hard to forget. I threw my phone back to the floor as it vibrated again, but I instead focused back on my puzzle. I managed to get four more pieces before it buzzed again.

From: Rocky (1:02 pm)

I wanted to apologize for what I said that day

I didn't think it was a big deal when it happened

I understand how important that must have been to you back then, and why you were so angry after

I think you're a great hero

From: Rocky (1:13 pm)

Izumi?

You there?

Sorry, I didn't mean to upset you

To: Rocky (1:14 pm)

Sorry, I'm doing the puzzle that Iida sent me so I'm a bit distracted
