Chapter 40

TW: Hospital, talk of healing injuries, Surgery,  Panic attacks, Sedation

 Hospitals were always loud but never this loud. There were currently 24 dead bodies being carted to the morgue and the hospital staff had 51 people in need of surgery, and bandages, and healing. It was possibly the most terrifying moment in Shoto's life. To be standing in possibly the loudest place possible and to be standing next to someone who hadn't said a word. Izuku had just been taken out of the Ambulance and the doctors were currently looking for an open operation room, while they looked Izuku was just layn there, quietly in his gurney. He was cover in soot and blood, his own and others, there was a bit of debris in his hair and Shoto wanted to desperately brush it out. Before he could Izuku was carted off and he was not permitted to follow, so he sat.

He sat down next to a bleeding man and what looked to be his wife, both were dressed in semi-formal attire they probably worked at one of the agencies his father burned. The young woman was complaining about how hot it was and Shoto decided to hand her a brick of ice. He grabbed some towels and wrapped the ice bricks and handed them out to people in the waiting room and a few of the hospital staff. Eventually, he came across Aizawa, the man was covered in soot from running into a burning building and blood, though none of it was his own. He handed his teacher some ice before sitting down next to him quietly. They sat for a moment until Present Mic arrived, as soon as they made eye contact, the two men ran forward and hugged each other tightly. Shoto decided to look away from the affection being shown, he looked over the waiting room until he laid his eyes upon a familiar sight.

Robin and Denki had just been brought in and to be honest, they both looked terrible, Denki had a large burn all the way across his stomach and several other cuts across his body, there also seemed to be half a pole sticking through his leg. Shoto prayed he was asleep. He wasn't. He ran over and saw his friend gripping the railing of his gurney with tears pouring down his face, Shoto ran over and grabbed his friend's hand. As soon as Denki realized who it was he gripped Shoto's hand tightly and bit his lip so he wouldn't start screaming, soon enough a doctor appeared looking exhausted. "I'm so sorry but, we may have to treat you in the hallway, the hospital is overfilled at the moment and we've run out of people with healing quirks" he explained quickly. Thankfully Mr. Aizawa had shown up, "There's no need to worry, I've called Recovery girl and she's on her way" he states, the doctor looked overjoyed at the thought and ran off to go inform the other doctors and patients.

While they waited Shoto stayed by Denki's side, "S-shoto, ho-how's Rob-in?" he whispered. "I'm not sure Kaminari, don't worry she'll be ok" he re-assures giving him a light smile, "I-I've heard th-at a lot to-today" he chuckles looking up at the ceiling. Thankfully Recovery girl appeared and assessed him and healed him, due to his exhaustion she couldn't heal him fully but now he was stable. They carted a now Unconscious Denki away while Recovery girl left to focus on the less injured patients, now alone Shoto turned to see his three older siblings sitting in the now less crowded waiting room. After several hours of separation and general terror Shoto finally hugged all of his siblings, the four stood close together for a little while until they all decided to sit down. After a little while Present mic appeared again looking somber, "How are your kids Mic-san" Fuyumi questioned gripping Shoto's hand. "Please, call me Hizashi. I haven't been notified on their conditions yet but they're all alive" he admits smiling, though it looked more like a grimace. No one tried talking after that.

Shouta stood outside his sons' hospital room, due to limited space both Hitoshi and Izuku had been put in the same room. "Well Izuku-Kun is doing better than he was, thanks to Recovery girl he should still be able to see out of his left eye but we're not entirely sure yet. The cuts and burns have been treated as best we could but there will be scarring, his right arm was broken yet again. I'm a little worried about how it will function but again we'll need to check him over when he wakes up" she states reading off her chart. "Now for Hitoshi-Kun, the cut along his side was mostly superficial so it shouldn't affect him much and the burn on his leg won't hinder him much. However his left arm is an area for concern, we've done everything we can to preserve it but all of the skin was burnt off and he's missing two fingers. In the end, we may have to amputate his arm up to the shoulder, there are a few other minor burns around his neck and legs but another round with Recovery girl should fix them right up" she looks up. Both adults we exhausted if the dark circles under their eyes were anything to go by, "What about Robin?" he questions cracking his neck subconsciously. "She and Kamanari-Kun are still in surgery but I can tell you that they have a good chance of survival" she smiles before turning and walking off to help her next patents.
