Chapter 5
"I'm here, I'm here! He said while jogging out of his room. “Come on, we need to hurry. He said he’s okay but I don’t believe him.” Izuku stayed silent, getting into the car as an odd feeling of pricking thorns penetrated his heart but only for a second.
Mitsukis words loudly but silently went ear through ear. Izuku swore that he could’ve shook his head and a rattling sound would be heard. He was getting overwhelmed for some- “Izuku, Izuku, get out the car!” He blinked. They were already at the hospital? Izuku got out of the car and quickly followed Mitsuki to make up for making her wait for him to get his head out of his ass.
“Katsuki!” She burst into his hospital room where he was sitting on a bed in a gown, he looked.. Distracted. Seeing Bakugo was an odd treat for Izuku. This was the month of the year Inko had died. Bakugo was extremely distant from Izuku as if he was the one who had lost his own mother.
But nope… He had his, she was currently hugging Bakugo, extremely glad he was safe. “Mom please, get off…” Bakugo protested against the abundance of love he was receiving. Mitsuki kissed her son on the forehead before letting him go. “What happened, where did you run off to?” Bakugo sighed. “I tried to save the people in the daycare but the smoke ended up being too much.” Midoriya silently scoffed.
Katsuki Bakugo… The Infamous boy (at least to his family and close friend.) who keeps his private life as private as a superhero’s identity. He goes out then he comes back like nothing happened, like he didn’t disappear for an hour, an hour.
It’s ALWAYS been an hour. No more time away than that. “People say that me and the little girl I was trying to save got saved by Spider-Man.” Mitsuki smiled “I’m so happy he saved you but.. Please don’t put yourself in danger like that!” Midoriya wanted to agree and add a “Don’t steal my work!” But obviously
He couldn’t
Suddenly there was a knock on the door then it opened, “Katsuki Bakugo?” Silence stuck to the walls of the room while the doors opened further to reveal a police officer. “We need to interrogate you.” Mitsuki raised an eyebrow. “Why, what happened?” “I’m assuming you’re the boys’ mom?” Mitsuki nodded. “Yes I am, now what happened?”
Izuku looked at the officer who ignored the boy's presence. Rude… But normal. “Well, you were with the girl before Spider-Man arrived, correct?” Bakugo nodded “Yeah, why?” “Because..-“ The man pulled out a paper with the drawing of a black blob. “The girl said she was almost attacked by ‘venom.’ The sentient alien that killed a lady named Inko a year ago
That.. What..? “S- sir.” The officer finally looked at Midoriya, his eyes widened. “They.. You guys KNEW THE CAUSE OF DEATH?!” The officer stammered on his words, unsuccessfully trying to make a sentence to explain himself and the police department.
He was going to lose his job for this… “She.. Got killed by Venom.. WHY DID THEY KEEP THIS FROM ME?!” “Please, follow me out of here so we can talk.” Mitsuki and Bakugo stayed quiet. While
the officer and Izuku walked outside to speak.
“Are you aware of the old ‘Venom' cases?” ..”I’m aware, Mr. Unsan..?” “Yes, forgive me for not introducing myself.. I’m Officer Usan. You-san is how my name is pronounced. You’re Midoriya, correct?” “Yes sir, but please, we’re getting off track.”
Usan nodded. “Well, we’ve noticed a pattern, a person dies, we tell their family and either they die as well or get extremely injured.” Izuku sighed. “So you just killed me then?”
“Yes.. But actually no- you see it’s rare, this happened every other case venom is mysterious and dangerous. I’m sorry you had to find out your mothers cause of death this way.”
Izuku snickered with a grin. His thoughts of irony made his smile he wore wider. Out of all the times to have appropriate silence, he ruins it. “Well then, thank you for telling me.” As sharp and enticing revenge was. He’d rather not prick his finger on it. After all, it’s been a year… “You’re welcome. Goodbye Izuku and please stay safe.”
That was.. Comforting for Midoriya to hear. It was confirmation that it wasn’t his fault like he was suspecting. ‘You told her you are Spider-Man, now look what happened. She’s.. Dead.’ Izuku went to slap himself in the face to get himself out of his head but instead he webbed himself straight in the face.
