Day 30: Fall Asleep in My Lap

Well, it happened. The ice storm knocked the power out and everyone in FTA was huddling around the common room while Aurora kept the temperature to tolerable comfort. Apollo was against it as it uses a lot of calories but eventually made an agreement that she would use it in bursts and Mirajane provides calorie-rich food.

"Are you sure you can do this for long periods of time Aurora? I know it uses calories but keeping it up might be too much."

Aurora was looking at her brother in defiance. "Apollo, I know what I am doing. True it can be mentally draining but if I play it right I can hold it for about 4-6 hours. I have done this before when Bakugou and I were stranded in a blizzard in the mountains."

Shouto looked at his girlfriend from across the room. "You nearly went into hypothermia when you reached your limit. After we rescued you, you were bedridden for a week."

Aurora cursed him out in Spanish and looked away in a huff. Apollo and Shouto looked at each other briefly with sweat drops behind their heads, then chuckled at her stubbornness.

"All right, but stop when you reach your limit." Apollo replied and grabbed his sister and put her on his lap. "I might be able to help with my Quirk, just in case your temperature starts dropping."

"I can deal with that." Aurora replied and looked up. "You know this feels a little weird, hermano."

The pinkette blinked and chuckled slightly. "Yeah, I can see that. It is just a precaution though."

"Luna, I think right now we don't have a choice. If you max out Apollo would be the best to keep you warm due to his natural body heat. I have an emitter Quirk where I will have to activate it to warm up."

Aurora cursed again, knowing he was right and she did not want him to use his own Quirk. "Right, and you will overheat if you prolong the fire use."

"I guess I am not as perfect as Endeavor thinks I am."

"Your father's a pendejo."

Again Todoroki sweatdropped. "Right..."

The Thermal teen sighed and released a small flame from her mouth and her wings ruffled slowly increasing the temp around the common room, stopping to where the temp was still a little chilly but would be able to stave off with blankets.

Headmaster Makarov looked impressed. "Your Quirk is amazing my child, can you tell me more about Thermal Wings?"

Aurora blushed a little and began talking. "Thermal Wings is a Mutant/Emitter type where I can control the temperatures of surroundings, objects, and people." She said, leaning back a bit. "It burns calories when I activate it so I have to make sure I have to eat calorie bars or something that is high in fat. I can help people keep their body heat or lower the temp if they have a fever, but there is a limit."

"What kind of limit?" Erza asked, changing her PJs to something a little warmer.

"By touching the person I can immediately increase or lower their body heat, but if they reach a certain temp or are too weak I cannot immediately do so without risk of thermal shock. They could die of heart failure if I force it."

Makarov gave it some thought. "So, if someone is dealing with hypothermia, if they drop to a critical stage if you force the body to heat up quickly it will kill them instead?" Aurora nodded and released another burst of heat. "That can be tricky, you have a very powerful Quirk."

Aurora laughed bitterly, surprising the others and Shoto was giving a sad look. "My father didn't think so." Apollo flinched and tensed up when she said that. "My Quirk was delayed, so basically I was Quirkless until I was 14. So, when I finally got it I thought he would be proud." She then scoffed. "He wasn't."
