[Musutafu, Bacta Mental Hospital]
Toga was lead into the facility without resistance, having gone in of her own accord, asking to be escorted to a ward and after being frisked for weapons (of which she had none on her, a very strange fact indeed). Eventually going to her assigned room, which was going to be under heavy surveillance both to get an idea of her behavior and for the protection of staff. Considering how mentally unstable Toga was, courts had pre-ruled that if Toga was found she was to be sent to a mental ward, a very different procedure than from most circumstances. Essentially, she had been ruled as an innocent by insanity, which definitely applied; she was really only just sane enough to reason what could become of her and hence why she went voluntarily towards the mental hospital.
Her thought process in the twenty minutes before deciding to go to the hospital had been simple; survival. Everyone in the League of Villains was either dead, in jail or in a mental hospital. Of those dead they included All for One, Muscular, Giantomachia, the "good doctor", Giren and Moonfish.
Spinner was out of jail, actually, released on good behavior. He was never one to go too far off the deep end, he was just a rebel who was mistreated and called a freak. Apparently he was now working on becoming a hero. Kurogiri and Mr. Compress were also apparently to be released within 3 years if they kept up their behavior too.
Dabi was in a hospital in a coma; he had actually tried to save someone else's life and had suffered dearly for it, the person he saved being Shoto Todoroki. Shigaraki was in a nearly the same condition; after finding out how little AFO cared for him, he had almost broken apart and had dusted AFO in the process. The only reason he was alive was because All Might had made sure that his mentor's grandson had been given the best healthcare in the country.
How ironic that it was that the League had not been ended by heroes; the League had destroyed itself. Spinner left first, turning himself over to the police hoping for leniency. Then, after a failed breakout in Tartarus, Compress had also thrown in the towel, but not before killing the "good doctor" over what exactly he had done to even create the Nomu.
On a second Tartarus breakout, AFO had been successfully reclaimed and Izuku Midoriya and a few other 1A students (who were at that point now 3rd years) had tried and failed to take him down. However, the students had been successful in making AFO reveal reveal the fateful information that would cause Shigaraki's quirk to go into overdrive killing AFO in an unexpected betrayal, expressing his surprise in his final moment. Around the same time Dabi's fight had happened, and he had been very close to dying.
The only people left at that point were twice and herself. And of the Nomus, only one of the so called "failed experiment" survived that being a female Nomu who had some sort of sense of self and justice. Now she was with her birth parents; after being captured by the good doctor ten years earlier and harshly experimented on, her brain state was like that of a ten year old, and often was found crying before the heroes were able to find her home. As far as everyone knew, she was happy now.
One day, three years earlier, Twice had battled with himself, over whether he should seek professional help, deciding in the end to leave and better himself and saying goodbye. Alone, Toga had tried to survive for the next 3 years on scraps, and love did not come as quickly to her as it once had; Izuku was always of some interest as well as his froggy friend and Uraraka, but she had no blood and one dull knife left; this was even worse than the time before meeting the good doctor!
"I give up" she uttered placing her blade down and heading towards the nearest mental hospital, which is where we start our story from. Her body was dull and starved, not having eaten anything of sustenance for a year, after her attempts at getting food were halted by her increasingly poor health.
News broke the next day that the last member of the League had finally been found, having willingly turned herself into a mental hospital, the same one where Rei Todoroki had been interned a few years prior. Many pros who used to be in class 1A reacted to the news with varying degrees of leniency; from Bakugou thinking she should be in jail and Uraraka having to calm him down, to Tsuyu believing that the actions Toga had taken were the best anyone could have hoped for.
Izuku Midoriya, meanwhile felt the most distraught; she was just another person in need in his eyes and therefore he would try and tie up this emotional loose ends as best he could by helping Toga's transitioning back into society, he would have to check her visiting hours.
Inside the hospital, Toga was being consulted by a special doctor who was licensed to use their quirk in their practice, essentially they could touch you and know exactly what was wrong with you and what to prescribe. Her course of drugs would be 3 different pill sets meant to stave off psychotic tendencies and anxiety.
It would take about 3 weeks for the pills to start being effective, much like how steroids for arthritis would also take a while to kick in fully. And as such, visits were to be held for very short amounts of time under careful surveillance; however, she was free to wander the facility so long as she was accompanied by one member of staff at all times.
"Toga?" a man's voice had said on her 3rd day at the hospital, when she wanted to walk around. She was denying the fact that she could be changed and so wanted to get to know where she presumed she would be living for the rest of her life until the day she died. When she turned to look at the man who had uttered the word she was surprised to see Twice walking around the halls of the facility unaccompanied, without his suit on no less, and smiling happily! "Sir! Do you mind if I hug her? We know each other!" He had asked to her accompanying member of staff, who simply smiled and said it was fine, so long as Toga gave permission, to which she of course did, this was the first time seeing one of her old friends in years and no less one who seems to have turned their life around.
"OHHH, I HAVE MISSED YOU SO MUCH TOGA" Twice laughed out loud after that and lifted toga up into the air and spinning her around before putting her down and apologizing for how over the top he acted. "And look! No double speak! Well, hear more then look but you know..." he laughed again, apparently they had helped him deal with his not-really-split personality, as both sides of himself were present at most of the time more like double personality where two people were operating the same body simultaneously.
"You know I never expected to walk around like normal anymore, ya'know...considering how fucked up I was in the past? Hah, oh man, that was a riot. I'm glad you came here, it means you can finally be truly happy, sanity has a way of making you appreciate life more...ya'know and i hope to put it to good use on the outside."
"Like there would ever be any hope for me...urgh, I've lost all will to love and care anymore, only reason I'm here is cuz everyone else is dead or put away, and I'd be dead too if I had spent like one more week out there...if I change into a better person due to these drugs and professional help...YEAH that would be just great, but that ain't happening! I've been itching to stab something since the second I got in here INCLUDING MYSELF!" the person accompanying Toga was looking to Twice to see if he should go get any other members of staff, Twice was one of their most trusted patients and had truly undergone a remarkable transformation as a human being.
From Twice's actions, it was clear he felt he could handle it and started to hug Toga, who was starting to cry out of frustration "Shhh, now don't talk like that, look at me like seriously look at me, if there is one thing i know from my time here is that there is no such thing as a lost cause. I was in the exact same position when i started here, i mean the only reason I came here was because I debated the merits of sanity and got into a fist fight with myself, gave myself a black eye and a cracked rib from that fight, me really knew to piss me off right!"
Toga laughed ever so slightly through the tears "Heh yeah, you were your own worst enemy in a far more literal sense." she retorted and sniffled slightly.
"See, there is always a glimmer of hope so don't go around moping on me, if ya need anyone, anyone at all just ask for me, I still got a few issues I need to work out, a couple violent tendencies that we have been working on with some good ol fashioned anger management, that kinda thing."
"Yeah" she smiled "I guess I can always count on you"
"You got it" Twice retorted with some finger guns before spinning on his heels and singing I feel pretty for some reason Toga couldn't fathom.
Toga wouldn't be allowed visitors until her medication set in fully, it helped her deal with some aspects of her self, like how she didn't feel the need to drink a bitch dry now, that was nice, she hadn't felt that way since, well ever and the need to stab when angry was greatly reduced although she kinda felt board after realising that her main things in life were stabbing drinking blood and falling in love, Toga could see how that could be perceived as fucked up now she guessed but didn't really care as much as she hoped she would care, seemingly trying to confirm to herself that she was a bad person even though twice often tried to make arguments too the contrary.
On the first day where visitors were allowed, she received a very special guest in the form of her beloved Izuku! Although she was feeling less "stabby-lovey", she still felt the need to want to be him, which she wholeheartedly admitted to Izuku the second she saw him before smacking herself and trying to tell herself not to think that way, apparently trying to live up to Twice's ideal version of herself. "Sorry about that, I have a long way to go Izuku..." she said blushing a deep red while Izuku himself was trying to remain composed in front of the less-crazy-than-usual Toga, who was still in love with him it seemed.
"It is good to see that you want to make progress, I didn't even know Twice was in this facility, guess you learn something new everyday," he smiled "I hope to be able to assist him when he gets out, from what you tell me he seemed very composed now! It is definitely true that doctors are sometimes the unsung heroes in this world, Recovery Girl being a doctor is rarely discussed and she is moreso know for having been a support hero than an accredited doctor...it really makes you wonder if we as heros should bring attention to the incredible work these people do... mumble mumble mumble mumble" Izuku was lost in thought, an aspect that Toga found cute and let him continue before he finally catched himself and apologized profusely "I...I-I...I-I...I'M-M S S SORRY THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ME TALKING TO YOU n-n-not talking in front of you" he squirmed and fidgeted with his fingers looking slightly ashamed of himself.
"Oh it is no problem Izuku, I find it so cute," she almost purred like a cat at that and caused Izuku to gulp, he was not good with affection, in fact it caused him to just become an absolute wreck in casual situations.
This kind of talk continued unabated for a few minutes before Toga's limited allotted time was done for the day causing her to become somewhat angry, but, not wanting to lash out in front of her sweet Izuku, she instead counted to ten, something her first few weeks of anger management had drilled heavily into her skull. The first step with anger was always allowing time to breath, the second was finding the source, but they hadn't gotten to that part yet; the reason they focused so heavily on something so simple in the first few weeks was due to people needing to make a habit out of it; habits once started are hard to break and so allowed for this to become an integral part of calming people down, alongside other means like calming music and a good book, but she didn't have that on hand right now.
Back in her room was a small lunch, as requested, the the hospital staff would prepare and deliver to those who wished to be alone in their lunch break or simply wished to not enter the on-site lunch hall with others and instead converse with those in the rooms nearby. Her lunch meal was just a nice peanut butter and strawberry sandwich, as well as a protein bar and some milk, along with her medication and dietary supplement pills that she needed, considering how malnourished she was when she entered the facility.
Toga had to admit that, for a place where loony people had to go to, she found it surprisingly nice to live in and welcoming, treating its patients with respect and fulfilling small requests for books, non-bladed items etc. The government must really be investing in mental health, she guessed, (in actuality Endeavor made sure that the place was well funded after his wife's release and becoming the number one hero, a lifetime of regret symbolised by a place of healing, rather fitting).
For entertainment Toga had requested newspapers, fashion magazines and the entire works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the last one was mainly because "I've always wanted to know why people give a shit about these books." Her room was small but not terrible, it was padded but only because Toga had requested it so as to be able to sleep anywhere and she could leave any time before 8PM and could press a button for assistance if she needed to pee or something after 8PM as the room did not have an onsite bathroom.
Her routine was simple, but changing as she developed through her issues. For example, on the days before any visits were allowed, her routine was wake up at 8 am, mill about for an hour, go get food and greet the other patients, some seemingly more crazy than her, although less violent than she expected and far more reliant on art and expression; Twice had taken up shadow puppetry and musical theater to heart for example. For the next 2 hours she would discuss topics like the joking "WHATTA YOU IN FOR?" and how they were making progress,at 11 she was to go to her anger management teacher, apparently Kamui Woods would sometimes work there to teach yoga as a calming practice, although most of the time it was just a one on one session with a somewhat zany anger management coach; "I feel pretty" was a song which he encouraged people to sing to alleviate anger. Twice, however, did it just for fun. At 12 was lunch, where she would go back to her room and eat and read for a few hours, for the last 5 hours of the day it was 2 hours exercise, 2 hours of dinner and chat and 1 hour of personal hygiene.
After visits were allowed, her 2 hours of dinner were instead 1 and a half, and half an hour of visits. She had everything she would need to improve herself, everything was meant to help her and the others in the facility become the best version of themselves and, as time progressed, she herself could see that she was becoming less insane, however slow that process was occuring, mental health wasn't a snap cure; she would likely be here for years. Izuku promised he would always visit and Twice assured that if he were to get out, he too would visit when he could and see if he could get Spinner to visit.
She couldn't deny it any longer, she was going to change for the better, no matter how long it took.
