Katsuki's fingers drummed against his kneecaps as he sat impatiently. The doctor monitored the various screens around you.

"She's been out for about five minutes now...nothing's happening." Aizawa dragged his hands down his face.

The doctor frowned and cautiously placed his hand to your forehead. He beckoned Katsuki over to your bedside. He immediately shot out of his seat and stormed towards you. "She isn't under as much stress as was when she was first injected." The doctor observed. "Maybe she isn't under enough stress for the reaction to take place..." he tapped a finger to his chin.

Aizawa stretched and stood up. "That would make sense. The rest of the guests began to turn after they all started to panic." He scratched at his beard "Well how the hell are we supposed to stress her out while she's unconscious." Katsuki scrunched up his nose.

"Adrenalin rush...blood sugar levels... temperature might work. If we heat her blood up, that should alert her brain and kick her into gear. You can create warmth with your quirk right young man?" The doctor placed a hand on Katsuki's shoulder. "Try place your hand over an artery and raise the temperature gradually."

Katsuki shrugged the doctors hand off of his shoulder and gently wrapped his palm across your throat. The nurses in the room coughed slightly in surprise. The doctor chuckled and Aizawa rose an eyebrow at the confused boy. "What the hell are you all laughing about huh?" He growled out.

"I was expecting you to go for an artery in her arm or something but...straight for the throat. Whatever floats your boat I suppose." He chuckled and shook his head slightly. Katsuki flinched backwards and grimaced while his cheeks turned red. "Shut the hell up it's not like that!" He shouted out. Clenching his free hand into a tight fist but being careful to keep the hand around your neck completely still.

Aizawa noticed this and his lips twitched in an almost smile as he sat back down. Katsuki looked back down to your unconscious face. He lifted his thumb from the side of your neck and ever so slightly ran it across your jaw. He scrunched up his face at his own action and growled to himself. His head jolted from side to side and he placed his thumb back against the side of your neck.

Katsuki began to gently heat up his palm against your throat, the machines around stayed beeping at a steady pace. Katsuki rolled his shoulders and increased the heat again, the skin below his palm glowing a warm orange.

The doctor carefully monitored every reading he could. A sudden burst of beeping alerted everyone's attention. Katsuki watched you carefully, suddenly your eyes flashed open and you screeched out. Aizawa pulled the boy away from your side.

The long whiplike tail shot out from underneath your dress and cracked against the bed frame. Long black horns tore through your pillow and scattered feathers across the pale clean room.

Your heart rate monitor humming at impossible speeds.

'Back here again. It's so hot and dark here.' Yet again you could feel your muscles moving on their own. Your vision obscured by a deep red glare.

It was obvious to you by now that you were gaining control much quicker than the last time. You could already feel your right arm lying still by your side, fully under your own control again. Your vision was still red and fuzzy, but you could make out blurred shapes.

Pins and needles wracked your body as you felt something shift within yourself. You tried to call out to alert the doctor of your awareness but it came out as a strangled growl.

You felt a sharp pinprick from your right forearm, through your blurred vision, you could make out some sort of syringe. You focused all of your energy into that one spot, a wave washing through your veins and flowing towards the syringe.
