You know how in really big companies, there are people in the field that are just as important if not more? But you never see their face, know their name, or ever think of them. Well, that's me. While I went to My Hero just like all the big names. I just, stayed in the background. I became the therapist and psychiatrist for them. I keep them stable as long as they come to me. It's ignorant to think that I wouldn't exist. people need to remember heros see some of the worst things you can imagine. I'm here to just protect their minds from it. Now I'm also a "hero" I just work in the backgrounds and rarely in the field. I'm not super exciting compared to others but if you could think of cat woman that turns invisible that's me. I can hide from anyone and make next to no noise. So you can imagine how intimidating seeing the number one Hero for me is. He's a couple years older but even in high school I dreamt of speaking with him. But, that's what I do. I speak, but am rarely remembered. So I never thought much when I saw him. I figured he just never remembered me. But, as always, I out smarted myself.
"Foxy did you have a good day?"
"Ah, it was fine thank you Recovery"
"Any good cases?"
"Just the normal, small child that was found crushed. A young women raped in the alley. Oh I guess there was a new one, someone angry that they were saved from being electrocuted. Something about he wanted to know what it felt like. "
As Marmalade curls his tail around Recovery. He's my therapy red fox.
"Ah yes so the normal…oh before I forget. Your name came up in conversation today I guess someone is looking for you"
"Oh yeah? Who is it this time?"
"Hmmm, honestly can't remember but keep a look out" she responded scratching the fox.
That's about right….The older she gets more forgetting she is.
And no, my name is not foxy, it's Arctic Fox. I was born with bright blue and silver hair and green eyes. I just love foxes, and with my powers the name just matches.
"Okay, well. Not very helpful" I said laughing
"But I'll keep an eye out" I smile as Recovery as she chuckles back.
I turn to leave as Marmalade jumps up onto my shoulders and lays down as if an expensive fox scarf. My heels tipping in the hallway as I see a familiar face.
"Good afternoon Nighteye"
"Ah Dr. Kitsue"
Somehow that's what my patients end up calling me. Honestly drives me a bit crazy with how annoying it is. it's neither my doctoral name nor my hero name.
"How are you feeling today?"
I see him at least once a week. Understandable considering that he can predicts others….well everything.
"Better, thank you. I'll need to cancel our appointment this week"
"Ah, I'm sorry to hear that: please remember to focus on your weekly goals"
"Yes I will-" he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder, a loud laugh as the person explains
"There you are nighteye!"
I observe quietly
"Ah, Amethyst! It been years how are you?!?"
I stood shocked, not at the sentence but of that Marmalade awoke with a tail wag and a quiet laugh.
With a slight smile and nod I responded "It's very nice to see you again All Might"
A squeal of laughter arising from my shoulder
"Ah, you should remember Marmalade. She's my favorite coworker" I say with a smile. She runs off my shoulder, jumping past Nighteye and circling All Might's shoulders before jumping to the ground and showing her stomach with a chatter.
"I must admit, I'm quite jealous" a slight saddness shows in Nighteye's eyes. "I don't think I've ever see her do this"
"Hmmm, probably because she's more to look at than hear" I respond.
As All Might is captivated by the small fluffy creature l so adore. I steal a smile before returning to my composure.
Suddenly All Might looks up and makes eye contact with me.
"I must admit I'm a bit hurt that you didn't call me by my name"
I guess the surprise I felt showed in my face as the two men gave me a slight smirk.
Then his booming laugh once again
"We should be going, crime never stops!"
"Lead the way" As nighteye turned he brushed against me and turned back around "sorry about that!"
I'm not sure what he thought, that I was to focused on the other person in the room or that I would be oblivious to the direct contact afterwards. It wasn't that he did it that made me so annoyed. It was his smirk as he was activating his quirk that did. I'm his therapist not his friend... I made a mental note to chart it for later. Marmalade jumped back onto my shoulders as she made a purring noise. As I watched the large man stand up, smile and say "till we meet again!"
Walking down the hallway I forgot who I was trying to locate. All I could think about was his smiling face but sad eyes when I didn't call him by name.
