And behold, a white horse.

Dr. Aiko Iwasaki BNHA villain-adjacent OC.

[plaguebearing]

"Hey, it's okay." Aiko pulled her chair closer to the bedside, hoping that being nearer might encourage Rune to settle down. Historically, it had never been easy to keep her relaxed in the hospital without pharmaceutical intervention, and now that she wasn't on the clock, Aiko couldn't pull any strings in that regard.

"We have all the time in the world now. Once they let you out of here you can come back to my house. It's... Exactly the same as you last saw it, but all of my food is a decade out of date." There had been a housekeeper making sure things were dust-free, but everything was largely untouched, down to one of Rune's t-shirts still hanging on the towel rack in the bathroom. It had been heartbreaking to see when she first arrived home, when she didn't think Rune was still around.

[neonbreakor]

It was strange. So much time had passed. So much had happend. But at the same time, it felt just like it did then. Like those ten years hadn't ever passed. Like they were never apart. Rune calmed down and relaxed a little.

"You're.. Really back" Her voice cracked. She couldn't help but feel stupid for how she acted thinking Aiko was dead. What she'd think if she knew the trouble Rune made. She grit her teeth. But it didn't matter now. She's alive. And she's here.

"Food won't be an isuue.. They've come really far in delivery. They use drones now" Rune forced a small smile. Was it really okay to be happy about this? It still felt surreal.

[plaguebearing]

"Drones? Really?" Aiko hadn't exactly been a fan of having a stranger deliver food to her home, but drones were a new level of weird. But as long as it meant she could get her kitchen refilled without setting foot in the grocery store, she wouldn't complain.

"You're going to have to get me caught up on whatever social media people are using now. Nobody's on Facebook anymore. I tried looking for you there, actually." She pulled her phone from her pocket and navigated to an old profile of Rune's. "I only found this profile for you, and your last post was... This selfie you took with a stray cat six years ago?"

"This isn't something that typically results in death, my love." In fact, it was a routine blood draw, something that Tomura had seen her do plenty of times before. She couldn't really blame him for his concern, though. She DID often get herself into situations.. Once the vial was full, she withdrew the needle and pressed a square of gauze to her arm. "See? Didn't die."

@kabaneking asked: stay with me, okay? stay awake.

She was trying so hard to hold onto him. His touch, his voice, the dull ache as he tightened the belt around her thigh. She tried to lift her head to get a look at what was going on down there, but the world was spinning and she just did not have the strength. "Jun." To her own ears, her voice sounded like she was underwater. Faint, distorted, disconnected from herself. When she thought about it, everything was starting to feel that way. Her limbs were cold and tingling, her head had a heavy warmth to it that reminded her of when she used to drink. It wanted her to sleep, it weighed her down and she had to fight to keep her eyes open. "Is it bad?"

[kabaneking]

Jun did his best to stay calm. But there was so much blood. It covered his hands as he worked on her leg. He couldn't worry about her comfort right now. It'll hurt, but it'll keep her alive. The belt was doing its job. And keeping the bleeding at bay for now. But she needed more attention. And soon.

"I can't see much past all the blood. I've got to get it cleaned up" He knew what to do. Jun had hideouts all around the city. He liked to be hard to find. And always close to home. "I know where to go. We're close" He slipped his arms under her and picked her up.

"Focus on me. Don't close your eyes"

[plaguebearing]

Moving was like torture. Pain didn't typically bother Aiko, it was easy to ignore as long as she understood why it was happening, but the blood loss was quickly reducing her to base instinct. She inhaled sharply and gripped him as hard as her weakened hands could manage. Some horrible part of her wanted to beg him to just lay her down and let her go. She could fall asleep, it would be so easy. This could be over in seconds, and wouldn't it be so nice to be able to rest? But she couldn't. There were so many plans she'd made, things she needed to see through. "We have to set a date for the wedding." Maybe it was a weird thing to bring up in the moment, but that point in the future was what she was clinging to. Something she needed to live for.

me: i need to sleep

me, ten minutes after taking my night-night meds: aiko's blog needs a new theme RIGHT now

[plaguebearing]

"As far as I can tell."

It was a reasonable assumption. Aiko knew she had all the survival instinct of a soggy cardboard box, but somehow she'd made it this far... Though, admittedly, not without the help of a select few individuals. She survived her years abroad solely by minding her business and not taking on the kind of under-the-table work she did at home.

"You're alive, too. I'd been worried that you weren't, after I couldn't get a hold of you anymore. But we're both here now."

[neonbreakor]

Rune sat up to hug her long lost friend. Mostly wanting to feel for herself if this was real. But she found herself held back by wires and tubes. Monitors beeped in objection. Her first instinct was to get free. To rip everything off. But a pain surged in her left arm and quickly took her strength. She fell back down to the bed, defeated.

"I've got.. So much. To tell you.." Her voice cracked a little. "I've destroyed so much.. It was so fun. I wish.. I could have shared it with you" Rune couldn't help but think how this was her fault. She wished for this. And it was just as lonely as she dreamed.

"I'm.. Sorry.."

[plaguebearing]

"Hey, it's okay." Aiko pulled her chair closer to the bedside, hoping that being nearer might encourage Rune to settle down. Historically, it had never been easy to keep her relaxed in the hospital without pharmaceutical intervention, and now that she wasn't on the clock, Aiko couldn't pull any strings in that regard.

"We have all the time in the world now. Once they let you out of here you can come back to my house. It's... Exactly the same as you last saw it, but all of my food is a decade out of date." There had been a housekeeper making sure things were dust-free, but everything was largely untouched, down to one of Rune's t-shirts still hanging on the towel rack in the bathroom. It had been heartbreaking to see when she first arrived home, when she didn't think Rune was still around.

[plaguebearing]

There weren't any words in Aiko's vocabulary to describe the blend of emotions that had been stewing in her these past several hours. A strange combination of dread and joy and regret with a heavy dose of guilt. It all sat in her stomach and convinced her that she was certainly the worst person alive, but still she was so happy to see Rune.

"It is."

She tried very hard not to think about how many other times Rune must have been hurt and she should have been there. How many times she must have woken up alone in a hospital bed, and how many times she should have gone to the hospital and did not.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here."

[neonbreakor]

Emotions started to well up in her chest. Memories of nights missing her friend. Wondering if she was missing her too. Wondering if she was still missing her. Or the dark side of her life got the better of her. Lately, she'd been thinking the latter. And she felt guilty not being there to protect her like she'd done before. Rune thought she could save Aiko from herself. Like she did all those years ago. But she couldn't think she'd keep it up forever.

"You're.. Alive? You're really not dead?"

She wanted to feel for herself. There were too many dreams like this. Where she was back. And everything was fine. But then waking up means she's lost all over again. Rune didn't know how many more of those dreams she could take.

[plaguebearing]

"As far as I can tell."

"You're alive, too. I'd been worried that you weren't, after I couldn't get a hold of you anymore. But we're both here now."

[plaguebearing]

It was during surgical prep that the dots connected themselves. There were all of the scars that she remembered, injuries that she'd treated. Memories bubbled to the surface of nights spent on her bathroom floor stitching up this wound and that one while Rune talked like the needles didn't hurt. Waking up in the morning to Rune's arm draped over her, the music from the Desolation of Smaug DVD menu still looping. It was the first time in a long time that Aiko had to bow out of a procedure. She said that she just wasn't ready yet, and nobody questioned it. She had been gone for so long, after all. She was in the recovery area in her civilian attire after all was said and done, sitting in the bedside chair. It was a side of the hospital that she hadn't often scene, and it was foreign to her. She wanted to be on her feet, but she knew that she couldn't. There was too much weighing too heavily on her mind, and maybe a younger Doctor Iwasaki could have balanced those things, but not now. She took hold of Rune's hands as she began to slowly wake, waiting for the anesthesia cloud to lift.

[neonbreakor]

This wouldn't be the first time she woke from surgery crying. This time was different though. It felt like heartbreak. Like she'd lost something. But didn't yet know what it was. Rune's eye's opened. Tears streaming out instantly. They made her vision blurry. And the fog from the anesthesia still lingered a little. Her senses slowly fought their way to the surface.

Rune tried to move the fingers on her left hand. But she couldn't tell if it was working. She was afraid to look. She wasn't in her twenties anymore. All her injuries have been adding up. She knows her body won't last.

She turned her attention to her other hand. And only then did she notice someone was holding her hands. The hands holding hers looked familiar. Yet strange at the same time. Like maybe she knew them in another life. She gently gave them a squeeze. Her eyes followed up her arms to her face. For a second she thought she was wrong. But how could she ever forget her person. Rune reached towards the woman.

"Is.. This real.. Aiko..?

[plaguebearing]

There weren't any words in Aiko's vocabulary to describe the blend of emotions that had been stewing in her these past several hours. A strange combination of dread and joy and regret with a heavy dose of guilt. It all sat in her stomach and convinced her that she was certainly the worst person alive, but still she was so happy to see Rune.

"It is."

She tried very hard not to think about how many other times Rune must have been hurt and she should have been there. How many times she must have woken up alone in a hospital bed, and how many times she should have gone to the hospital and did not.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here."

[plaguebearing]

Aiko had thought that she'd take some time off work when she got back to Japan, but she'd been in her house barely two weeks before her inability to keep still got the better of her. The hospital was all too happy to have her back - there were not many doctors who were flexible enough to swap departments the way that she did. And so she found herself standing in the ambulance bay on her third day back. EMS had reported a severe fracture, possibly surgical, and it seemed an easy enough case for her to jump on. Broken bones were far easier than the viral outbreaks she'd been working with for the past… How long had she been gone? Close to a decade if she'd done the math correctly. It hadn't felt that long while she was away, but coming home had been a brutal awakening to how long it really was. "Good to be home." She said to herself as the ambulance pulled into view, lights and sirens immediately dragging her back into her younger years. The doors opened and the stretcher wheeled out, and when Aiko caught sight of her patient, she stopped dead for just a second. She thought that woman could have been Rune, maybe, in a different life. If the years hadn't been kind to her, if she were still around somehow… And if that were the case, surely she'd have known. She exhaled heavily and stepped forward to take the report from the EMTs. No name noted for the patient - not terribly unusual, but she had hoped for something that would satisfy that nagging feeling in the back of her mind. She made a mental note to unpack those feelings later, then took control of the stretcher. "I'm Doctor Iwasaki. I'm sorry you're not feeling well, but hopefully I'll get you feeling better real soon. We'll get you off this stretcher and onto something a bit more comfortable, okay?"

[neonbreakor]

She was fading in and out of consciousness again. This time what kept her awake was the doctor's voice. Directed to her. Though she didn't quite catch everything she said. Rune nodded anyway. The transfer was painful. Her wrecked arm screamed out. The muscles in her chest cramped. She always found it shameful to cry in front of others. But she couldn't hold back this time. Though she only expressed a fraction of what she felt. Her groans and whimpers died down fast enough.

Rune watched quietly as they worked on her. Again her eyes started to feel heavy. And she found herself opening them often. She also found herself watching this doctor. Her head was fuzzy. But something kept nagging at a name. Someone she knew. How long has it been now? Since she last saw that person.

She still couldn't make out much of what was being said to her or around her. But one thing she heard was something about prepping for surgery. So she figured that's where she was going next. A mask came down on her face. She didn't know if it was oxygen or anesthesia. But she didn't have much time to linger on it before a warm feeling swept over her. The swaying feeling did feel nice though. Like it could rock her right to sleep. "Ai..k-" She didn't even finish her thought.

[plaguebearing]

It was during surgical prep that the dots connected themselves. There were all of the scars that she remembered, injuries that she'd treated.

Starter for @plaguebearing

Rune laid on the ground. Her body numb and screaming in pain at the same time. Her vision blurred in and out. It was difficult to tell what was going on. Or recall what happened. All she knew is she used her Quirk. And it broke her arm. Again. Sirens and voices could be hear faintly. But those noises soon faded away as she lost consciousness.

Rune laid in the back of the ambulance. The movement of the vehicle kept waking her up. As did the poking of the medical team. And the beeps of their machines. She woke up about 5 times before finally they pulled into the loading bay. More noises and voices and shouts and yelling filled her ears as the door opened. "Here we fucking.. go. Again.." she muttered to herself glimpsing out at the staff waiting for her.
