Frozen Wings

Chapter 16

Storms' POV

The other pros has agreed that it was best to bring Dabi to UA, considering there was a quarantine recovery room that we could keep Dabi locked in when we weren't able to be watching him. I watched him most of the time, especially since the other pros had said that I was the only one strong enough to fight him. Luckily for us, he hadn't done much other than slip in and out of consciousness.

I sat in a chair with my arms crossed next to the door in the room, listening to his raspy breathing. It sounded like he had liquid in his lungs, but I had checked this morning, when it had sounded worse, and there wasn't anything there. It was early afternoon now. The blinds had been shut but light was still filtering through the cracks, landing on the hospital bed. My ear flicked.

Sitting here for hours on end, day and night, is driving me insane! I need to change forms, to stretch my wings, claw the bark off of a tree! I know it's what I chose to do and what's safest for the students and other pros, but it doesn't seem like he's getting at better. Besides, what is that damn noise in his chest? It's not good! It's not normal! Recovery Girl and I scanned his lungs this morning with both an MRI and CT scan, just to double check. Thank god UA had the funding to get those new-model machines that can handle metal without it messing up the scans, or Dabi would've been out of luck if anything HAD gone wrong.

I ran through multiple thoughts, jumping from topic to topic while I watched Dabi out of the corner of my eyes. Suddenly, my phone dinged. I picked it up, seeing I had a text message from Aizawa.

Storms, any update? Hawks is pestering me especially since you won't let anyone else in while you're guarding Dabi.

Nope. Still unconscious at the moment. I told you I would contact y'all immediately if he woke.

I know. I apologize for bothering you. I was just hoping that you could tell me something so Hawks would shut up. He's almost as bad as Hizashi right now.

Oof. Sorry to hear you've got two of those right now. I can't do much about Yamada but I can give you something to shut Takami up with.

Anything.

Tell him that if he doesn't stop bothering you I won't try to heal his wing anymore. Once you've said that, tell him to come down here.

He's on his way. Thank you.

Sure thing.

I rolled my eyes. Takami could be so obnoxious sometimes. There was a knocking on the door. I turned my head to see Takami. I stood up, unlocking it.

"You wouldn't stop trying, would you?!" He stared at me in shock.

"I don't know, would I?" I glared. His features adjusted to display anxiety. My tail swished.

"No, I wouldn't. I made a promise. I don't break promises." I sighed.

"Aizawa said you wanted to see me..." Takami said.

"I wanted to personally tell you that there were no updates. You can even see for yourself." I gestured towards the unconscious villain. Takami looked over at Dabi.

"He sounds weird."

"I know. I've been listening to it all day. There's nothing in his chest though, so I don't know what it is." I retorted.
