Voodoo Doll [BNHA]

Chapter Nineteen

Upon their return to the agency, Doll had succumbed to the pain and fallen unconscious, Endeavor handed her off to one of his sidekicks to get her to her room. He retreated to his office to decipher the highlighted text in the book Hawks had given him and left the interns under Burnin's care. She begrudgingly took them on a tour, she and the blonde boy were butting heads in no time. She didn't mind the green haired boy as much he was polite and listened well.

"Burnin?" Midoriya spoke up softly as they finished touring the gym and headed toward the spa area where the sauna was located.

Burnin looked to the boy with the unruly green hair curiously, "what?"

"Is Voodoo Doll going to be okay?" Midoriya asked worried, when they'd gotten back to the agency, she didn't look good.

Burnin grimaced, if Endeavor hadn't asked her to look after the interns and show them around, she'd be at Doll's side making sure she was okay. She'd grown attached to the younger girl over the years she'd been with them. Ever since Doll herself had been a little intern. "Don't worry about her, she's tougher than anyone here, she'll be fine... and while we're here, just call her Doll."

"I find that hard to believe." The irritating boy with the spiky dusty blonde hair and the menacing crimson eyes scoffed.

Burnin turned on him with a glare, her flaming hair flared up but she kept her cool and calmed herself, "I wouldn't underestimate her, if I were you." She said somewhat distantly as she thought back to when things had changed and she'd warmed up to the creepy little intern.

Endeavor treated the girl differently, though Burnin didn't understand why. She didn't seem that amazing, her quirk wasn't very useful as far as she could tell, she'd be better working in the healthcare industry or sticking to support and clean up. As they raced toward the scene of a villain attack on a nearby university, Burnin smirked, she'd show off and prove to the creepy little girl that she didn't belong here. She didn't have what it would take to be Endeavor's Sidekick.

Burnin charged in recklessly though she and Voodoo Doll were supposed to wait for backup. Voodoo Doll, what a ridiculous name for a hero and her costume was just about as ridiculous as it could get, she looked like she belonged at a scene amusement park. Doll raced after the older girl as she'd been told to follow her directions.

The sound of gunfire stopped Burnin in her tracks, they hadn't heard anything about their being guns involved. A bullet hit her in the chest just above her heart, a second pierced through her abdomen and a third grazed her thigh. Burnin hit the ground as her body was wracked with pain. She could feel her body starting to shut down and for a fleeting moment she thought, this was the end. In no time they were completely surrounded by men with guns. Doll dropped to her knees and clasped Burnin's hand in hers.

"W-what are you doing?! R-Run!" Burnin tried to call out.

Doll shook her head and squeezed her hand tight. Burnin felt the excruciating pain begin to fade and stared in horror as wounds began to open up on Doll's petite frame. She noticed the men around them aiming their weapons at Doll. Time seemed to freeze as they opened fire, Burnin watched as several bullets pierced Doll's torso. Doll closed her eyes and kept a firm hold on Burnin's hand as she continued absorbing her wounds. The men surrounding them suddenly screamed in pain and Burnin noticed bullet wounds appearing on all of them where Doll had just been shot.

"H-How did yo-?"

"Are you okay, Senpai?" The eerie girl asked in her creepy voice looking down at her through her ridiculous mask.
