Day Off

When I woke up Mirko was still sleeping, I was getting thirsty and hungry. I decided to go out and grab some water. I hadn't drunk anything since yesterday afternoon, I also brought a bottle back and put it on the nightstand near her head.

The doctors said physical exhaustion combined with lack of hydration made the situation a lot worse than it was supposed to be. Right now she was being kept hydrated through an infusion.

I think she would sleep through most of this day, at least that was the estimation the doctors gave. I can't stay here much longer, I need to get back to UA... OR I can just call Nezu, tell him of my circumstances and get a day off.

I'm leaning more towards the second option, taking a day off sounds really nice. Nezu can't really refuse since that would make him look like a bad person. (Blackmail works wonders)

I also needed to get some things done.

I was being tracked, so there wasn't any need to worry about the police getting anxious.

I decided to go get some food, I still ended up calling the dispatcher to inform him of my actions. Don't want to make the whole police force send their people to me because I felt like eating pizza.

But the pizza wasn't the only thing I was buying. I also bought a burner phone. I still needed to contact Giran later. I also made sure to buy it with cash from a shady place. The shadier they are the less likely they are to keep records of this stuff.

The shop also happens to be in the alleyways towards my favourite pizza place. Of course, I chose that place for this reason explicitly. Getting information about Trigger is a lot more important than a pizza.

I think Trigger will appear on the black market in the next few months, all I needed to do was to follow one of the thugs that deal these drugs to their base. Since I can't remember much about the location of Shie Hassaikai, I can only get creative. I don't want to wait a long time to take them down and rescue Eri.

I couldn't wait for the League of Villains to make their first appearance, I was really hoping for it to happen faster, but I guess my presence didn't make All for One hurry his plans at all. Getting that crazy doctor out of hiding would be much easier after taking down his boss.

I have a course of action for that. It could only be done after the attack on USJ unfortunately. So, back to waiting. At this point, even training is a formality. I was already stronger than All Might by a large margin. By this world's standards, I was at the peak.

Right now Overhaul and his crew aren't a threat to me, I was more concerned about how I was going to raid them. Currently, Mirko is out of commission. She will be for about a week.

She would normally need months to recover from her current state. But Healing quirks made her recovery much faster.

I needed to talk to Nezu about this, I just started hunting villains again. I didn't want to take a break already. But I probably will need to, Mirko was one of the few people that could reach a satisfactory speed in my eyes. If they sent a slower hero to replace her I would just take a break.

But even when she recovers, I'll need to convince her to join me in raiding a highly dangerous villain group. Knowing her, she would most likely accept, but she would still inform the police, which would make them form a squad, something that would slow down my operation by a lot. Well, I'll deal with the problems as they come.

Right now, still in my hero costume, I was walking down the streets. I didn't take the backstreets when heading back to the hospital. I could feel a lot of gazes sent my way. I already knew I was a bit famous. But this made me feel a bit awkward, maybe this is why famous people wear masks...

I managed to ignore the stares, making my way back to the hospital with a pizza box in hand. Refraining from saying 'Pizza Time' at the front desk. I walked back to Mirko's room.

This was going to be a boring and relaxing day. Even with my weights on.

__________POV Rumi Usagiyama__________

The first thing I saw when waking up was an unfamiliar ceiling. Slowly the memories of came back to me. I had passed out in the hospital. I have never been exhausted to that extent. Right now I can't even feel a muscle.

Looking around, I could see a bottle of water on my nightstand to my right. I couldn't move my body, so I could only look at it for now. Even looking is hard, I can only move my neck a bit.

I stayed there for a while, at this point I think I can talk. Just as I was about to scream a bit I heard a door open. I couldn't move my head enough to see who was coming in.

I however instantly recognize his voice.

"Oh, you woke up already? You've been out for a day already." It was just as lazy sounding as ever, it calmed me down a bit. I didn't like feeling this vulnerable. Before I responded he entered my field of view. He was carrying a pizza box.

The sight of him was somewhat relaxing, but what surprised me the most was the fact that he was still dressed in his hero costume. That could only mean he had spent the night here. That warm feeling from last night came back.

"How come you're here?" I couldn't hide the smile on my face while saying this.

"Well, I took a day off to look after you. Not really needed since you're in a hospital." He also gave a kind smile while saying that. Honestly, I didn't hear much of the second part, I was stuck on the fact that he took a day off to check up on me.

He also didn't mention that he spent the night here. I feel myself turning red at this. Could this mean he didn't want me to worry about him? (He just forgot about it.)

Seeing me like that made him panic.

"Hey, are you getting a fever?" His concern only made it worse.

"Hold on, I'll give you some water." Saying that he lifted my head gently, opened the water bottle on the nightstand and brought it to my lips.

"The doctor did say your mouth might get dry at some point. Since you can't move I'll help you out for now."

I would usually be angry at someone for doing this kind of thing, but I couldn't help to feel safe right now. My condition made me vulnerable, but his presence gave me a lot of confidence.

After drinking some water I said.

"Thank you..." It was short and quiet. But I'm sure he heard it. He smiled brightly and simply said.

"You're welcome!" He proceeded to feed me a slice of pizza too.

After a while, he told me to go back to sleep. The doctors would check on my condition later. Once again I fell asleep with a smile.
