KO yawned as he turned over in what he initially thought was his bed. It was too hard for that though, and the blankets on top of him felt more like paper than his comfy, well, comforters. He sat up and yawned to look around, wondering now if he had fallen asleep on the job.
But no, around him was a clean room with a few empty beds he could see through the curtain that partially covered the bed he laid. "Wahh?" he wondered aloud, trying to put things together in his head, "Is this, a hospital? Did that bad guy beat me up that bad?" he said, he'd been beaten
plenty of times sure but it was never like he'd had to be hospitalized for it considering all the healing items the bodega supplied. He frowned, checking his arm for that needle thing characters sometimes had on them in movies that connected to a bag. Thankfully he didn't have one, but that also meant he couldn't do the super dramatic thing where someone would rip them off as they got up.
"Oh good, you're awake." an older woman said as she pushed the curtains aside. She was small and wore a doctor's coat as well as some sort of headgear which had a needle attached to it. "How're you feeling?"
His eyes lit up, he didn't recognize her but she was definitely a hero, "Oh I'm doing great!" KO grinned, he reached into his pocket to pull out his pow cards to check and see if maybe he had her but realized he didn't have his vest, "Huh?"
"I'm glad to hear that child." she smiled, "And if you're looking for your vest it's on the table beside you."
"Oh, thanks!" he said, snatching it up to look through his deck of cards, sad he had stopped carrying all of them to work like he used to cause that meant he'd have a harder time matching her, "And umm, hey I can tell you're a hero ma'am but I don't know who…?"
"My name is Recovery Girl, I'm the nurse at UA Academy. I should have probably started with that introduction, but may I ask your name?"
"It's KO!" he smiled, putting the cards away when he realized he wouldn't find her card in his current deck, "So you're like, a healing hero right then? I mean from your name? What level are you? How long have you been a hero? And what's UA?"
Recovery Girl laughed, "Hhaha, you're an excitable one aren't you kiddo. Well, I'm afraid I can't answer quite yet. I just had to check up on you but one of our teachers as well as an officer are here to speak with you about what happened. Don't worry you're not in trouble."
"Wait, what happened?" he thought a moment, "Oh that bad guy right? Weird, I've never had to talk to the police after dealing with a bad guy but okay!" he nodded.
"You've fought villains before? Haha, you'll need to tell me about that when I come back, just tell the truth, alright Kiddo?"
"It's KO and I will."
With that, Recovery Girl left. It was strange KO thought, why wasn't anyone talking to his mother instead of him, really, why were the police involved, they rarely, if ever got involved with anything.
He had only a few moments to ponder before two men walked in. The first was relatively short and seemed to have mouse ears on his head, while the other was a fairly normal looking guy with long hair and stubble. Oh and a really cool looking scarf.
"So you're the boy who fell from the sky." the second man said, "My name is Shoto Aizawa, I'm the homeroom teacher for the student who blasted you when you fell through the villains portal. I apologize for his idiotic reaction."
KO could remember some sort of explosion after he fell through the warp if he took a moment, it hadn't really occurred to him until then that it could have been caused by a person. "O-oh that's fine don't worry! I mean, I'm fine right now aren't I?" he smiled.
"On account of Recovery Girl's healing quirk." the first man said, "I'm Officer Nezumi, and for record's sake I need your name."
"It's KO. And it's really good to meet you guys."
"We need your real name kid not a nickname." Aizawa said.
KO frowned, he liked KO, it had a good ring to it, but the way these two talked he felt worried he'd get in trouble if he kept it up like he usually did, "It's umm, Kaio Kincaid." he said, Nezumi scribbled it down, "But like, really I would like to be called KO it's just how I roll."
Nezumi gave a small smile, "Well, alright then KO, I'm glad to see you're so cheery after what happened to you. A villain that powerful, it must've been pretty scary for a kid like you."
"Pfft no, not with my friends and I and my mom! We had everything handled just fine." he said.
"Would you care to explain what 'everything' was?" Aizawa asked.
He nodded his head, "Well there I was, just another day at Gar's Bodega and hero store, it's sorta where I work and where I'm training to be a hero. No big deal." he said smiling, but they didn't press on for what that meant they just listened, " So like, we have an alarm thing for whenever bad guys show up to attack the plaza and it went off and we're used to robots but this time it was this weird dude. Like he was talking to himself and could make these warp things."
"Was he looking for someone?" Aizawa asked.
"Yeah! He said he was looking for a kid and I was sorta the only kid there so I guess it was me. I tried to get help from my mom to fight him and when I tried I fell into a portal, there was an explosion, and I woke up here." he said, "Though...where is here?"
"You're at UA high school in Japan." Nezumi said. KO tilted his head in confusion. "You do know what UA is I assume?"
"I don't even know what a Japan is?" KO replied.
The two men looked at each other. "It's located in eastern Asia." Aizawa said, KO was still confused, he wasn't as good a student as Dendy but he felt he had decent enough knowledge of Geography to know what they were talking about. But they all seemed like strange places.
"How about this, where are you from?" Nezumi asked.
"I'm from Lakewood Plaza Turbo." he replied, "It's like, like do you guys have a map maybe or?"
"This is going nowhere." Aizawa sighed, "Here in Japan where you are right now a villain capable of creating warp gates attacked a busy streetway, she was looking for someone who we later found out was one of my students. She was talking to someone no one else in the area could student she targeted, Izuku Midoriya, was caught in one of these warps and a moment later you came out the other end." he explained, "Odds are wherever you're from is where Midoriya was sent and as a whole the entire thing would make us suspect you were working with the villain if it wasn't clear you're too young to even have a properly developed quirk."
KO took a few moments to think it over, it was weird, very strange. "Mhmm, I see now...what is a quirk?"
Nezumi chuckled, "A super power is the non-technical term for it. Though at your age you should have some knowledge of what it is?"
He jumped out from the bed, "Yeah I do! It's really cool check this out!" KO exclaimed, pulling his fist back, but instead of a blast nothing left, "H-huh? It's really cool just give me a sec." he said trying again but still nothing.
"I'm blocking your quirk." Aizawa said and KO looked to see his eyes seemed to be straining. "Since we don't know what it is I don't want you making a mess here."
"Why don't you just explain it instead." Nezumi said while Aizawa relaxed.
"Oh well, that's not as fun, but like. It's a punch blast! I punch, and like a blast comes out!" he explained, "Can I show it now?"
"No." Aizawa replied bluntly, "Maybe later on we can have you demonstrate in a safer setting than a nurses office."
"Well, that's something I can add to the records but is there anything else you can tell us that might be helpful KO?" Nezumi asked.
KO pondered, that was the word right? "Ahh, well umm, all the stuff about this place sounds cool and all but like. Maybe I'm not in the right place? Does that make sense okay like. There was this time where this villain kidnapped me and a bunch of heroes but like, we weren't all from the same place. But not city same place but like, dimension different place? Or is it universe? It's really weird."
"Incredibly, but believe it or not that was one of the possibilities that was brought up." Aizawa said.
"Wait really?" KO said, "I thought you guys were gonna think I'm crazy, phew!"
"KO we're not saying we entirely believe you, but something like that has been brought up when discussing you and the villain. There have been people in the past with reality altering quirks and though rare it's not impossible. We'll look into more of your story and where you're from but due to the nature of this...situation, in the meantime you'll be staying here at UA. Times aren't great lately, but if there are villains looking at you, it'll be the safest place for you." Nezumi explained.
"I guess..I guess but really I've handled plenty of bad guys before so you don't need to worry about me. I'm sure no matter what we'll get me and that other kid home soon! But I still need to ask what UA is? The Recovery Lady mentioned it too, she seemed really nice by the way."
"You're definitely not from around here..but alright, UA is a school meant to train pro heroes. It's a highschool so the students you'll be around will be significantly older than you.." Aizawa said.
"A school for heroes!" KO exclaimed.
Nezumi laughed, "I'll leave you to it Aizawa, good luck he seems like a ball of energy." he commented before walking out.
"You have to tell me more I mean, like what kind of heroes, what level, and oh this is going to be so cool, do you guys have POW cards here? Oh imagine all the new heroes if this is another dimension wouldn't that be cool." KO continued while Aizawa lead him out of the room.
A ball of energy indeed.
Hey Y'all I am so so sorry for taking so long to reply, school kinda sped up on me towards the end of the semester and I wasn't prepared but hahaha I'm here now! Maybe update every other week or so but we'll see I'm so sorry ^^;
