Experiment 007

Chapter 34: News

3rd POV

The class gathered around anxiously, waiting for the doctor to speak. The man looked distraught and tired. He held a clipboard infront of him, fiddling with the ends of the paper as he looked for the right words. Aizawa and Hizashi recognized the man as Kamane, the doctor that had been helping Izuku from the start. Although the doctor hates to admit it, he has grown attached to the boy, like many others.

"Hello again Aizawa, Hizashi, Bakugo..." He trailed off, his eyes watering slightly. "First, I want to let you all know Izuku is alive." A small sigh of relief went through the room. "I-I don't know how to say any of this easily, so I'm just going to jump into it." He took a deep breath, trying to compose himself. "A-as you three saw, Izuku went into a seizure as he was being transported to the hospital, this was due to the manifestation of another quirk called Blackout. His body has begun to reach it's limit at the number of quirks he can handle. Currently, he has 12. It seems that while he was captured, he went through some gruesome stuff." He paused, wiping away a quick tear. "W-we also ran some tests and scans. He has an ungodly amount of drugs in his system and there are signs of a strong hallucinagen being one of the main drugs used. We have no way of knowing how these drugs affected his mental state."

There was a small pause again. Small sniffles could be heard through the room. "There's something else..." The doctor looked to Aizawa. "Something was done to the boy. Something that makes him heal in the blink of an eye."

Aizawa nodded slowly. "W-we saw a little bit of the quirk in a video the villains sent." Kamane's face dropped slightly at this information.

"Well, that's the thing...." He clenched his clipboard tightly. "It's not a quirk." The class gasped. Bakugo let off small explosions as his emotions began to boil. "Izuku had to be put through horrible testing to get these results. What happened to him has only been talked about as theory. No one has been risky enough to try it on a person as it is considered immoral and taboo in the medical field."

Hizashi was shaking now, not able to handle the information being given to him. Aizawa held him close, helping him to a seat. "Kamane," Aizawa said in a low voice. "Is Izuku going to be ok?"

A grim look crossed the doctors face. "Right now he is stable. We... we lost him twice during the operations, but we have him stable now." Everyone broke with this news.

The sweetest boy they knew had his heart stop. Not once, not twice, but three times, just because of some asshole villains twisted games. Everyone looked at the doctor with sorrowful faces, waiting for more information.

"Although he is stable now, we have no way of telling how his body is going to hold up. Even with this healing enhancement, his body is in really rough shape. His lungs are what's most concerning. Even if he heals up fully, he is going to have major breathing problems. His lung capacity has been reduced greatly. He will likely have to wear a nasal cannula. These are just oxygen tubes that would go in his nose to help him breathe. I have called in Recovery Girl, she should be able to help his lungs. If all goes as planned, he should only need an inhaler after 5 months to a year of healing sessions. As of now, he just needs to rest. He should be out for the next 5 days, so if I were you I'd go get some rest. You will all be the first to know when he wakes up."

The crowd slowly nodded, trying to comprehend the information they were just given. Midnight walked up, placing a caring hand on Hizashi's shoulder.

"I-I'll give you all some space." Kamane said, his voice wavering slightly as he spoke. "Aizawa, Hizashi, you and Bakugo may come see him if you'd like. Once he has healed more, the rest of you should be able to visit."

Aizawa and Nezu got the class to disperse, sending them back to the dorms to rest and wait. The three allowed to see Izuku followed the doctor down the hall.
