The Phoenix {A BNHA Fan Story}

Chapter Twenty-Two: Hospital

Quickly after, two ambulances arrived along with police. The four of them were all taken to the hospital, two to an ambulance. Todoroki was sent with Midoriya, while Soraka was placed into the same one as Iida. It was silent, save for the blaring of the sirens, and the beeping machines with them. 

They both sat with their legs over the side of the single rolling bed, and despite being told not to, Soraka couldn't help but to let a tiny flame dance over her fingers. It kept her distracted. 

Upon arrival, they were taken to individual rooms. 

"I hear you've had quite the rough night." The doctor said as she entered the room. Soraka barely nodded, there was little reason to have to speak about what went down. Surely someone had told the doctors that would be looking them over. The doctor held out a medical gown that had been slung over her arm. "Are you able to stand and change?" This was routine for the doctor, so of course most things would come as a question.

"Yes." Soraka said simply, standing to take the gown. She went into the bathroom, a direct link to the room next to hers, and noticing this, locked both doors before peeling off her costume. It was a slight challenge since she couldn't use her right arm at all. The golden band on her right was tearing, and blood-stained. The entire right side of her costume had splatters of blood stained into it. Her own blood, she might add. She went to take the gold feathers from her head, only to find the right one completely missing. 

She sighed, "I should find a better way for those to stay on." She looked herself over, cleaning the blood off of her arm and face. The gashes in her arm still leaked a little bit of blood. The gown, once she was able to put it on, was loosely tied to her side. It ended roughly at her mid-thigh. She carried her bloody and slightly torn and burned costume out with her, resting it over the arm of an extra chair to the side of the room. The doctor smiled at her as she sat on the bed once again. 

Soraka was asked the typical questions, name, age, height, whatever. Her face did slightly heat up as she was asked about her sexual life. They got through the questions quickly though, and she was taken to go and get x-rays. This took a little longer, as they had to scan her entire body for any potential injuries that they couldn't see. It was concerning that she wouldn't even immediately know. They returned to the room, and an IV was placed in her left hand. It stung, and she had to look away. 

"I want to be a hero, yet I can't stand needles." She mumbled after sharply inhaling, earning a light chuckle from the doctor. The gashes in her arm were cleaned out, the sting of alcohol causing her to grit her teeth together. They were wrapped, and her arm was slowly placed into a sling. 

"Alright, I need to see your back, then I'll be done for now." Soraka turned, throwing her legs over the side and pushing her back out. The doctor untied the gown, and Soraka used her non-injured arm to hold it against her chest. The doctor cleaned her back with cold water. A norma person would've hated how freezing it was, but the cold sting eased the pain of the burn. A large bandage was pushed against her back, covering the burn. She hadn't even noticed that she had burned her back, so she figured that the rush of adreneline had lasted long enough until it had gone numb. The gown was tied back around, a little tighter, before Soraka could turn back. The doctor stood, holding out a hand. 

"We're putting you and your friend into the same room, we'll pull you out individually for anything." Soraka didn't hie her eagerness as she took the doctors hand and stood. The doctor grabbed the IV stand and pushed it along, leading Soraka out and to a room a few doors away. 

Inside were four beds, two of them occupied. To the right in the farthest bed was Todoroki, and right across from him on the left of the room was Iida. The two front beds were empty.
