Aizawa POV: Present Day
I glanced over my classroom, emptied near an hour ago, but the feeling of wrongness still lingered. All the chairs were empty now, but during the lesson, I felt it. The constant emptiness radiating from a certain student's chair. My electric student was currently in a medically induced coma. I refused to let it affect my teaching, and it did not. The student group, however, was highly affected. Kaminari was the glue that helped to hold this class together. He had some sort of friendship with every student in Class 1A, which was an impressive feat in and of itself.
It had been a week. A week of having to see Class 1A's hopeful faces only to disappoint them. To inform them that Denki was still in a coma. That we don't know more than that at the moment. To tell them I would be the first to know if… no when something changed.
I adjusted my capture scarf around my neck, finishing grading today's hero exercise. I shuffled the papers into the desk, standing and stretching my arms above my head. I needed another nap. My pocket vibrated, signaling an incoming call. I sighed, pulling the phone out. The last thing I wanted to deal with was students doing something they should not be, yet again.
"This is Aizawa." Wow, my voice sounded exhausted even to me.
"Mr. Aizawa? We have an update on one of our patients, Kaminari Denki. Would you mind coming over to the hospital?"
"I will be there soon." I hung up the line quickly, striding out the door and clicking the light off. They had news. I was not worried, really. Denki was capable of more than his peers thought he was. Including himself.
A few moments later I am walking into the medical building, pulling my raven locks into a low bun to keep out of my face. I strolled up the main desk, and the assistant immediately recognized me from my last visit. She smiled, pointing at a nearby nurse, "She will catch you up to speed."
I turned to the nurse, who brushed her brown locks out of her face, "Eraserhead," She greeted, looking flushed, "I came down as soon as I was told you were contacted. This way." I nodded politely back in greeting and followed her down the hallway.
"Let's catch you up to speed." She noted, pulling up her medical chart, "Denki ribs are set and healed enough to let him out the medically induced coma he was placed in. His lung is also almost completely healed over with scar tissue, but he still will have to wait for his ribs to completely heal. What is interesting is that he has scars. From our records, they were not there on his last visit a month ago for a flu, but the scars themselves have been healed for a while."
I paused as she trailed off. "How long? Can you tell?"
She sighed, "Yes. From the evidence, the scars are nearly a year old. There is one around his neck, weirdly enough, looks like it is from a collar of some-sort. He has a scar from a stab wound as well on his lower torso, and several smaller scars on his arms and legs, from what looks like other quirks of various types."
"I see." Now I was worried. It sounded like he had to survive trials of many kinds, and this would not only separate him from his classmates' learning experiences, but also made him at least a year older than them. I would get the details from him tonight if he is up for it.
"When did you take him off the propofol?" I inquired.
She shrugged her lab coat off her watch to check it, "About an hour ago, he should be waking up any minute."
With that statement, the lights above flickered. The hallway was suddenly plunged into darkness. The fans and every electrical thing in the building was dead silent. It only lasted for a few seconds. The hallways washed red and alarms started to blare out of many patient's room as the backup generator kicked in hospital wide. Many medical staff started racing from on end to the other, calming patients and racing to the ones on critical life support. The nurse leading me had vanished among the chaos, probably figuring that a pro hero can find his own way around. Good with me. I knew exactly what caused the power outage.
I raced up two floors, taking two stairs at a time. I knew the way to Denki's room from yesterday's visit. He most likely woke up in a panic and had accidental quirk activation. Not uncommon at his age, but they must not have used a suppressor since he went to a hero school. It was my duty to check on him, I was his teacher. He would most likely recognize me right away and calm down.
I made to the top of the stairs and turned the corner to see the long hallway ahead of me. That is when the whole situation changed. I heard a scream. Every instinct in me told me that was a scream of terror. I have heard it too many times to be wrong. Was there a villain here?
"Please no! I don't know what you are talking about!" I heard a nurse cry out. I raced down the hall, my capture weapon already grasped in my hand, my quirk on the verge of activation. Skidding to a stop right in front of the room, was a nurse being held by her throat. By Denki. His other hand was close to her face, and between his thumb, pointer, and middle finger was a ball of electricity. It was spinning and a soft hum was coming off it. For the first time in my career, I froze.
"Then tell me human, where do you think they took my friends? The other Mutants? And do not tell me that they are dead, I know they're not!" Denki had a vicious look on his face as he brought the ball closer to her face.
I snapped out of it, activating my quirk. I felt my hair fly up out of the bun and watched as the electricity disappeared from his hand. He quickly whipped his head to see me before yanking the nurse towards him. Out of his boot, he pulled a knife. He held it up to the nurse's neck threateningly. He was already dressed out of his hospital clothes. The electricity kill was planned.
"Denki. Drop the knife. I know you are probably really confused right now, but you are safe. You are back in Japan. You are not in whatever universe Parallel sent you too." I expected him to be relieved, or shocked. None of those were his actual reactions. Instead, his eyes narrowed at me.
"How do you know my name? Are you working for the humans? Trust me pal, I will gut your coworker to get out of here. I won't be your lab rat again!" Denki exclaimed, almost pressing the knife into the poor nurse's neck.
I forced myself not to blink in shock, "Denki, it's Aizawa, your teacher."
He jutted out his chin, staring at me challengingly, "I don't know you. If your trying to pull some mind trick on me, it will not work. My electric Mutation blocks any form of mind related Mutations."
My mind raced to figure out what he was saying. Mutations? Does he mean quirks? And the part about being a lab rat was very concerning. The main problem on hand, was did he not recognize me? In any capacity? If mind quirks were out there in whatever parallel universe he was sent to, his memories could be affected. God forbid, erased. For now, he was a threat. As much as it pained me, Denki currently was a danger and despite him being my student, I had to protect the people in this building.
I studied his posture, he was shifting around nervously, and in pain. He was favoring his left leg and keep readjusting his grip on the knife. If I could remove the weapon, I could easily restrain him. I just cannot blink.
"What do you want?" I questioned.
"I want to know where my friends are!" His hand on the knife relaxed. I struck. Sending my capture weapon wrapping around his wrist and yanking him towards me as hard as I could. The knife clattered to the floor, and the nurse let out a cry before she was shoved to the ground. Denki came flying at me, and I started to use my capture weapon to tie his wrist together. However, once he was in range of me, I only managed to catch one of his wrists. With his free hand, he punched me as hard as he could in the face. I blinked.
That was all it took. His hand was on my forearm and lit up with electricity in a nano-second. All my muscles tensed up in pain as electricity coursed through me. Pain exploded in every area of my body, and my vision turned yellow and sparked, before everything went black. My last coherent thought? Fucking hell.
