Voodoo Doll [BNHA]

Chapter Twenty One

Over the next week, Bakugo, Midoriya and Shoto got themselves quite beaten up as they struggled to apprehend a villain quicker than Endeavor. It was tough work but they were all getting quicker and improving their skills immensely through hands on experience. Doll had recovered from the healing quirk but Endeavor had stuck her on desk duty, keeping her from leaving the agency.

One evening, Doll relaxed in the employee lounge. She spotted Shoto, Midoriya and Bakugo shuffle into the lounge looking exhausted from their day's training. They were all badly scraped up from their day's patrol with Endeavor. She remembered what Endeavor had said about telling Midoriya the truth about her quirk and sighed to herself, the best way to tell him was to show him.

"Come here, you three." She called over to them.

"I don't take orders from you, creepy." Bakugo huffed.

Doll rolled her eyes at him, "suit yourself." She extended a hand to Shoto who'd experienced her healing before after he'd returned to the agency with his father from the Hero Killer incident in Hosu.

Shoto placed his hand in hers. Doll activated her quirk and dozens of scrapes and bruises began to appear on her arms and legs where Shoto's minor wounds had been. Midoriya watched in awe as the wounds vanished from Shoto and appeared on Doll before closing up and mending. The bigger wounds left a few small scars on her scarred skin though it was hard to tell where one scar ended and another began, her body was mostly scarred.

"Thanks Doll." Shoto nodded his head to her politely.

She extended her hand to Midoriya and offered him a smile, "you'll feel good as new, promise."

Midoriya looked to the newest scar that appeared on her skin after she'd healed Shoto, "...and how will you feel?"

"After a moment, fine." She reassured him.

Midoriya hesitantly placed his hand in hers. He gasped as he felt all of the aches and pains from his training begin to fade away, all the scrapes and bruises he'd acquired vanished, no they didn't vanish, they just shifted over to Doll who was able to heal herself with her quirk. He noticed another small scar form on the top of her hand. She didn't give any indication that she was in pain but he had a feeling it hurt her.

"Your quirk doesn't heal people...does it?" He asked quietly.

Doll smiled and shook her head, "not exactly, my quirk allows me to heal rapidly, I can absorb the injuries of others, bestow them on myself and my quirk will heal me..."

"...what if their injury is too much?" Midoriya asked.

Doll shrugged, "it hasn't happened yet." She extended her hand to Bakugo who reluctantly accepted it as he thought about it and realized the other two now had the advantage since, they were back in tip top shape. She absorbed his injuries and another small scar appeared on her forearm intersecting another scar.

Endeavor stepped into the lounge after failing to locate Doll or his interns anywhere and was surprised to see them all sitting together on one of the sofas. Midoriya looked conflicted, it appeared he'd finally learned how Doll's quirk really worked, she must have healed up their collection of scrapes from their rough training.

"Doll?" Midoriya spoke softly as he'd finally made up his mind. She turned her cloudy white eyes to him and he continued, "I don't think I can ask you to heal anyone knowing that you have to endure their pain to do it...thank you for the offer but, I have to decline." He bowed his head to her respectfully.

Doll smiled and ruffled his hair, "I don't mind pain, if it can bring someone else happiness, but I'll respect your decision. If you ever change your mind, let me know."
