A hot, sharp pain broke through her daze. Someone was swearing at her. She tried to see who, but her eyes didn't want to open. They were stuck.
The sharp pain came again, slashing across her arm she had forgotten had existed.
Her eyes popped open like a switch. Bakugo glared down, all snarl and snow-crusted hair.
"There you are," he spat, and she felt his hot hands feeling her out in the snow, then wrapping under her. "Invisibility is the crappiest damn quirk."
"How could you..." croaked an old man...old man? "She's bleeding-"
"Shut up, it's just her hair."
He had pulled her to his chest and she could somehow feel his heat through the thick fabric. Her eyes fluttered. She could smell something like carmel, maybe a little burnt. She let herself fall back down in the darkness, so tired.
Only to wake up, surrounded by fire.
She gasped.
"Good, she's responding," said a voice. "Keep the hot bottles coming."
Even as the heat burned, her skin somehow got use to it, like taking a dip in a hot bath. Her teeth started to chatter madly, hurting her jaw and making her whole head rattle. Her eyes were sticky again.
"What the hell's that sound?"
Bakugo. What's he doing here? Where was she?
"It's her teeth chattering. That's a good sign. You said you saw her, can you tell us how she did that? We need to get an IV into her."
"I, I'm sorry," said a familiar older voice. "When she dropped the light she vanished into the snow. This young man had to feel around for her."
The heat had finally reached optimal level. Despite the chill within her it could not reach, it was just enough for her to slip back to sleep again.
