Chapter 40: My Design

"You are a very lucky girl Amara." Recovery Girl informed me as she stared at the chart within her small hands. "We took another DNA test, it revealed that you actually had a dormant quirk underneath all of the other ones." She exclaimed, the way her face scrunched into a smile told me that I didn't need to panic. I glanced at my Father, who silently sat next to me with his fingers interlaced in front of his mouth. My dark eyes flickered between the several other doctors that stood like statues in my hospital room. Their eyes glimmered at me, as if I was some sort of medical mystery.

"It appears that you have had this "Healing" quirk your entire life, it was just inactive because of the other quirks, the Dragon and the Elemental quirks must be so strong that it made the Healing quirk deactivate. So, when you got shot by the Quirk Erasing Bullet, sure the superficial quirks you had got cleaved but this original one you had could activate and be used to save your life. The adrenaline that coursed through your body during the attacks you endured probably kick started the healing quirk and saved you." A masculine Doctor I've never met, or spoken to before stood at the foot of my bed and explained to me medically what happened.

What the actual fuck? Surely there has to be a limit on how many quirks a person can have? I glanced back to my father, his face blank; dumbfounded. Conversations rippled around me; it felt like white noise. I couldn't help but wonder how different my life would be if I didn't get adopted by psycho Villain wannabe's and If All for One didn't inject these quirks into me. If I was never groomed into being the biggest and strongest Nomu, I would've been a healer. I could've been a Nurse or a Doctor. Instead, I am a mentally unstable freak of nature forced to join a Hero School because I couldn't control the quirks forced upon me.

"So what about my other quirks?" I fumbled the question. As much as I hated the fact that these quirks were forced upon me, I genuinely felt that they were apart of who I am; they've indented on me and I can't exactly use a regeneration or a healing quirk to destroy my enemies.

"According to this, your new regenerating quirk is mending your other quirks. You should get all of them back within a few weeks. Though we aren't sure if they will ever be as powerful as they once were." Recovery Girl grinned as her small fingers intricately woven through the massive amount of paperwork she held. "Your quirk factor is fluctuating, and we don't know why."

"This is all well and good, Amara you survived, and your quirks are coming back – good for you."
My father growled, "But please explain to me why you felt the need to leave Campus when you have been specifically instructed not to!" His angered words felt like ice against my skin. They sent shivers down my spine as I stared down at my hands. I pursed my lips together and sent Recovery Girl a pleading look, begging to be free of this place.

"Perhaps it's time you boys left." Recovery Girl told the several other doctors that stood in an array around the bed. Her voice carried a certain assertiveness that I forgot she held. The shuffle of footsteps echoed slightly in the massive expanse of the room.

"So, what do you have to say for yourself? Part of the reason you aren't allowed to leave is to protect you from attacks like this." My Father scolded me. How do I tell my Parent that I left campus to go and buy a pregnancy test? My throat became dry at the thought of this conversation.

"I-I was having a massive craving for grapes." I lied. Shouta's dark brow twitched in annoyance but he kept a stoic mask.

"You left campus....for grapes?" He questioned.

I felt warmth of Recovery Girl's hand rest upon my shoulder. "I think I know why she Left Mr Aizawa. I'm sorry dear but I have to tell him; you are still a minor." She spoke.

"Tell me what?" Shouta asked.

"Her blood test results indicate a pregnancy; however I believe she had a miscarriage during the attack today. From my calculations she would've been about 8 weeks along." As Recovery Girl spoke, I felt my mind swirl into confusion.
