Kaida was lost in thought as she pulled into blankets. As the name Mr. Sparks brought so many memories back to her. She glanced to the coat and reached out, seemingly to roy but grabbed the coat instead wincing as she moved her burnt hands into a fist while she clenched it. Pulling towards her. She put the nape of the collar to her nose and sniffed it. Once again that old smell she smelt earlier was now strong in her senses now. She shook her head, confused as ever as she couldn’t place it. But she knew she smelt it before. “I dont know, it doesn’t make sense... She glanced up to Acion as he walked in, asking if they were ok. She didn’t have the strength to answer really, her mind was fully locked into trying to pin this smell down. She only shook her head at his comment. While she noticed the smell, had a slight mix of fruity perfume as well...not something a guy would wear...but while it wasn’t strong enough to overpower the main smell, which only threw her off more.
Roy just watched as she reached forward and grabbed the jacket, he raised his hands waving them side to side signaling for her not to over exert herself but she was pretty determined to figure out who the piece of clothing belonged to… though her methods were a bit questionable. The boy tilted his head a bit in confusion as Kaida began smelling the man's jacket somewhat like a dog. [color=e74c3c]“Uhhh…” the boy said a bit awkwardly as the girl filled her lungs with the coats aroma. Thankfully Acion had arrived to bail him out of the situation, he turned his face away and towards his friend. [color=e74c3c]“Yeah we’re alright..I think? Come in” he then turned back to Kaidas who was still going hard at sniffing.
[color=e74c3c]“Why are you smelling that jacket?”
Kaida turned slightly red, realizing what she did in front of the others. She pulled it away just slightly and pulled back into her blankets to hide herself. “I-i-it smelt familiar...
Seeing two of his friends in such a condition, one in a wheelchair and the other on the bed, made him feel quite bad for them. How the hell did this happen? They didn’t do anything bad to deserve this.
The whole Shadow Clan ordeal had driven the young fellow into deep thoughts as he walked into the room. The question of whether who were those people was already swelling in his mind, but there were others that also concerned him as he approached them. Specifically, about Kaida. He turned to look at her briefly. The discussion earlier in the hallway echoed in his mind. Was Kaida a family member of a super villain? Of course, it did little to sway his impression of her, but it must have been difficult for such a person of a background. And what could she have felt being labelled as such?
He looked away before sitting down on a chair nearby. Of course, this was not something to be discussed about, especially after such a traumatizing event.
”I’m glad now that you guys aren’t in danger anymore.” He, a little forcibly, gave a smile to the two. His eyes then danced around the hospital room. His lips were tightening, his teeth sinking in. It was difficult having to go against his pride and ego, but they probably knew it already. ”I’m sorry for earlier. I left you guys to fend for yourself in that alley.”
Roy turned back to Acion who seemed to have a lot on his mind, the boy simply just smiled as his friend apologized to him. The blonde simply held a hand up to his friend signaling for him to stop. [color=e74c3c]“Don’t start buddy, we aren’t mad at you for anything, let’s just this enjoy this moment of peace. Though we all are pretty much incapacitated currently, we should still be grateful that everyone made it out alive and that our friends are still here with us.” The boy said happily, [color=e74c3c]“If anything you could help me and lassie figure out who this jacket belongs to.” Roy began lightly shaking the bed for Kaida to come out of hiding, Only to have a jacket instantly thrown into his face and when he would manage to get the coat off of him he would only see glaring eyes coming from just under the blankets. “don’t call me lassie.
”Yeah, I should.” Acion brightened a bit. The fact they were not resentful of his actions were a relief to him. He was still in the debate of whether fleeing to get help and left his friends is a morally acceptable for him, since he was not at all incapacitated at the moment, it’s just that he was outclassed, but still, Roy’s right. He should leave that for later.
”That coat looks kind of large sized.” Acion said as Roy asked him about it. ”If you ask me, there is this guy out there around that size. His name is Sparks. Jean-Luc Sparks.”
Kaida sat up and looked Acion dead in the eyes. Jean was her guardian, he was in france, but he wasn’t this big of a man. The only other Jean she knew…
It was at this moment the man in question stepped through the door. With an angry retha behind him. However that irritation vanished when he saw Kaida sitting upright. The two boys could see the udder look of confusion and mixture of emotion on kaida’s face. Tears started to form in her eyes as she shook her head, not believing her eyes. Sparks gave a sad smile but before he could say anything Kaida had ripped the iv from her arm and knocked over the rack that held it as jumped out of the bed, rushing towards him and slamming into him full force as she ‘attempted’ to wrap her small arms around his waist. She was sobbing but managed to say In FrenchI thought you were dead!”
Sparks wrapped his arms around her shoulders and rested his one hand against her head. Stroking her hair. I’m sorry little one for not coming back sooner. He answered her again in French.
He looked to the others in the room, notably at Roy who had his Jacket draped over him. He narrowed his eyes. I thought I said don’t wake her...I’m pretty sure I said that .. boy.
Roy felt the piercing gaze coming from sparks, though it was more intense as it caused his mind to go pretty much go blank. The reason being because he was completely in the wrong from so many angles.
[color=e74c3c]“Uhh…” He was trying to by time though it was quite pitiful, as he tried to think of something to say he slowly pulled the jacket off of his shoulder. [color=e74c3c]“She woke up on her own, all I was doing was watching over her.” He said a bit nervously.
Sparks only glared at him as if he didn’t believe him. Kaida spoke up. “Its true. I woke up a few minutes ago…” She said while still holding onto him and looking up at him. ”Where where you? Its been five years….”
” Another time princess.” He said calmly as he started moving her back to the bed.
The gaze from Kaida was a little intimidating, but a signal. An indication that this guy may have a connection with her. It may simply be just another similar name, but he was pretty sure the name was hard to replicate somewhere else
And damn him if he was wrong.
Sparks came into the room and the girl greeted him in a way that Acion had to give her a smile. He was happy for her. But still, he thought the man was the doctor? And what’s his relationship though? There were many questions, but for now…
As Sparks placed Kaida on the bed, Acion moved to the fallen IV rack and lifted it up straight before handing Sparks the needle.
”I think you know how to better than I do. She must have missed you so much that she did this.”
Roy slowly threw one of the coat sleeves over the side of the chair he was sitting on, he kept his eyes on Sparks as he tried to keep what he was doing on the mans blind side. “So Kaida, is Mr.Sparks someone that we can trust?” He was still a bit alert around Sparks despite not much he could even do if something happened. He could barely walk let alone defend himself properly.
The boy held a shaky finger towards the man, “I can’t help but feel this intense feeling of bloodlust in the air.”
Sparks looked at Acion when he mentioned how much kaida must of missed him. He nodded. Lifting kaida easily as if she was a small child into bed. He honestly really missed her as well, but circumstances barred him from contacting her. When he offered the IV he raised his hand. “She’s gonna need a new one now. Its contaminated. “ He said calmly as he reached over and pressed the nurse call button.
He tilted his head slightly when he heard Roy speaking up. Kaida was just getting back under her covers when Roy started asking if they should trust him. She was confused, why shouldn’t they? When he pointed at him and added the bloodlust in the air she looked back to Jean-luc and he looked at her. She didn’t sense it at all. Just warmth and love in his eyes. ”He’s not the sharpest spoon in the box is he?” He said with a grin. As he picked up one of kaida’s heat packs and held it between both of his hands while turning to Roy.
Kaida smiled slightly. She turned to Roy as Sparks stared at the poor boy. Who really could feel the disapproving glare of the large man. A complete 180 to how he looked at Kaida. Of course Roy… why else would I hug him?” If Roy and Acion were paying attention, they could smell a slight smell of sulfur. If they looked at Jean-luc, they would see the heat pack in his hands was steaming now. So hot that it would surely burn anyone by only being placed on them for a second. He would then place it on Kaida’s arm with a sizzle and begin with another one.
She thought for a moment and realized she didn’t explain who this was, red with embarrasment for not introducing him, she looked to Roy and Acion.”Oh.. Roy, Acion, This is my Uncle Jean-luc…Uncle… Sparky.” She giggled as the memory of not being able to call him Jean-luc, and from then on, she called him Uncle sparky. ”Uncle, these are my friends, Roy Kusayanagi and Acion Nakamiji.”
”We’ve met. But I don’t think I’ve properly introduced myself.” In contrast to the skepticism from his friend, Acion was rather in a friendly term with the large man. ”A pleasure to meet you.”
Roy scratched his head at the sharpest spoon in the box comment, it was a phrase completely foreign to him. The boy just shook his head in disagreement with that comment before turning to Kaida. “After all that’s happened, you can never be too safe you know.” He noticed the guy steaming up the hot pack in his hands right before him, some kind of heat quirk perhaps? Well if he is related to Kaida then that makes sense to some degree.
Roy simply flopped back in his chair, he was somewhat relieved and exhausted. there was still slight tension in the air between Roy and the man that somewhat bothered him, it was almost like the guy had a 3rd eye on him at all times which just made him anxious, a compromise will have to be met at least.
“…Sorry if we got off on the wrong foot Mr.Sparks, it’s been a pretty rough day.”
Learning about the whereabouts of his dad as well was weighing on his mind, the fact that he could be the offspring of someone so respected in the crime underworld that it spared his life was also nerve racking.
“Acion, I am going to have to talk to you about something important after I get discharged.”
His eyebrows raised. Something important, huh? It may have been related to what he had been talking with Sparks earlier, or the Shadow Clan, or about his encounter with Kaida the day before. But he had already told what he saw already. But in any cases, he had a feeling that it would be something serious.
”I’ll be available at your earliest convenience then.” Acion whispered back.
Sparks looked down at Roy with a raised eyebrow. That was the first smart thing he’s said. But still with kaida throwing her arms around him it was clear he could be trusted. ” It is a pleasure to meet you both.” He looked to Roy, ”I get protective of my niece, so it’s not personal. But it has been a rough day. Which you all should get some rest.” placing another steaming hotpack on Kaida. At which Kaida frowned. It sounded like he was going to leave.
”Please don’t go!” semi afraid he will disappear again. ”You need to tell me why and how...and..and..” She said getting a little dizzy. The pain of moving her hands catching up to her causing her to get tired again.
”Don’t worry I wont go far...not again. You just relax and we can talk when you are more rested.
”Hmm?” What was happening inside caught the attention of the Sky Knight’s leader. Please don’t go? That voice sounded so desperate and sorrowful. What the hell is happening in there?
She was tempting to listen to what they were saying, but was not so eager to intrude on people’s privacy. It would be extremely rude…
“Yeah I understand completely, I’ve grown somewhat of protective of the people around me too. Even though we butted heads a bit, I’m glad it was for a positive reason.” With those words, Roy grasped his light cane again. It was a bit troublesome for him to take his eyes off of his friends, but he felt as though if something happened while he was gone, Sparks would step in. The boy switched seats from the bedside chair back into his wheelchair before dispelling the cane.
“We should check on how Takeshi is doing before I go back to bed, when I left he looked fine but that was only a glance”
While kaida was sleeping she shifted in her bed as she received a confused look upon her face even though she didn’t wake up.. She had a dream that she was with her favorite teddy bear in the castle courtyard, a man was playing with her, his face was blurry but it had to be Jean. so much love and laugher. It was as close as she got to a real family while her father was away… The teddy bear was a gift from him, soft and cuddly like him.
She remembered holding her teddy bear high as Jean ran around with her on his shoulders the squeal of her own laughter was clear in her mind… suddenly voices dragged her out of her slumber...someone mentioning Mr. Sparks. Her eyes were groggy and she looked at everyone in the room… she didn’t reconize them... a few were standing...one was reallllllly tall. The other was short with dark hair, and another was in a wheelchair with blonde hair. He was talking to somone...oh... there was a black blob at the door...He was talking to the blob?
She clenched her eyes shut and whimpered at the pain she suddenly felt on her neck and arms. She felt the warmth of the lamps and heat packs...She reached around her bed, clearly still half asleep… Mr. Sparks...where's...Mr.Sparks…Wheres...my teddy...Mr.Sparks... She whimpered like a child. She grabbed the largest pack that was next to her body that had slipped off and pulled it to her chest as a child would with her teddy. She hummed slightly at the warm it gave her, clearly making this her new teddy. When she fell back asleep. "Mr.Sparks..." she said finally as if she managed to find him.
He stared at the boy, for what seemed like hours. It clearly was illogical for him to bar him from seeing kaida, but he was being protective of her. He glanced up as he heard a girl chiming in about letting him in, that she would also make sure he doesn’t wake her...and to cut the boy some slack.
He stood up straight and folded his arms, The girl had a little sass to her even while injured as badly as she was. Which he respected. He caved in and stepped out of the way...he needed to take care of something anyway and didn’t have any time to really spend arguing with the knucklehead.
”Alright fine. But just remember, I don’t care if your underage or injured. You mess with Kaida in anyway ill toss you out the window.” He said is a slightly joking but way...so that no one could be sure if he was serious or not. He rolled his sleeves up and looked over to the three sky knights now talking to the principle. He noted the white haired woman looking at him intently. He gave her a charming smirk and winked at her. He then felt a vibration in his pocket and pulled out his phone and putting to his ear without glancing who was calling. This is Sparks…”Before turning around and walking towards the stairs. He then switched to French seamlessly,
.
Oui, elle va bien. Quelques brûlures graves, mais elles guérissent bien. Je vais traiter avec les gens responsables assez tôt
He pushed the door open and quickly making his way up to the roof. Answering a few more questions before quickly ending the call and sliding the phone into his pocket as he made his way up the stairs.
Retha was pacing back and forth along the hallway thinking about all of her students, the fact that they were all supposed to be under her watchful eye and this happened infuriated her. Putting her hand on a staircase railing for support, even though her suit the heat she generated could be felt emanating from her enough to nearly melt the metal rails due to her sheer emotions. Gritting her teeth, grinding them from pure frustration yelling at herself internally about how she should have been there to protect them and that they’re her responsibility only snapping free from it once Momo walked up so that she could regain her composure in front of the child to put on a very confident front. Monika the transfer student who just got to the academy earlier today had no emotional connections to any of the kids, she felt sorry it happened, but there were still no strings attached there for her, but she could feel the anger and self-disappointment coming from Retha, the kind of dedication she had for kids that weren’t even her own was something completely foreign to her until she was rescued and adopted.
Retha sighed and started walking towards Kaida’s room to check up on her and caught the doctor who’s apparently named Sparks, but the most curious part was his transition into French so smoothly almost like it was his native language. Because of her past involving a villain she knew a little French and while rusty she distinctly understood the phrase ‘they will pay’ and decided to tell the man immediately, partly from curiosity and partly for the for the idea of finding those who did this to Kaida and her classmates.
Mr. Sparks made his way to the roof door, which was already partially opened and slammed it open with his right fist, almost taking it off the hinges, causing an echoing metal clang in the stairwell. He walked onto the roof and made his way to the farthest corner of the building where another man stood in the shadow of an AC unit.
Coming to a stop next to him, the man spoke up calmly and in an ‘old friend’ kind of tone. ”You look good for a deadman... Only glancing at him from the corner of his eye while they stared into the city.
Sparks didn’t answer as it was clear he was controlling his anger as his right fist clenched tightly. The man continued. ”...As well as a busy one at that. France...America, England. An Entire empire taken down in five years. And to stay hidden from us...an even more impressive feat.
Sparks then answered, ”Enough...I know it was you who attacked the kids...I know you were after your youngest brother and sister, as well as Kaida…” He turned towards him. “Come near her again, or her friends…”
She was promised by Draco… I don’t care what he promised you... I'll kill your entire clan if you come near her or her friends.”
Retha listened to them talk back and forth sitting back watching and gritting her teeth, she wanted to jump in and put an end to this right now, especially since it's obvious they were villains and the face that Sparks knows Draco is a massive red flag. The only thing stopping her from turning off her Cryo core and bring both in was the fact that this was a hospital and if they put up any kind of fight this entire building would go down. Making a mental note that she would see about both of them in her own time when less innocent lives would be caught in the crossfire. She opted to instead follow and listen in and only get involved if they actively attempted to perform criminal acts that she could imprison them.
The man chuckled as he cocked his head to the side. ” I doubt you could pose much of a threat… Draco was strong, but even he couldn’t take on the entire clan. “
That would have been more convincing… Sparks said as electricity crackled in Sparks right hand.“If you hadn’t left the building after seeing me.” He swatted lazily at the mans face, his electrified hand passing through it, shadows were dissipated, but reformed shortly. ”While Draco was still stronger than me….” He turned back towards the door that lead inside. ” I am more dangerous to you than he was…” He then started to walk back towards the door where Retha was hidden, The man watching him for a moment more before his entire being literally melted away into the shadows.
@liferusherHE SHOULD BE *looks at Aer with suspicion in her eyes*
Mr.Hisakawa
“The gentleman is right, we should not be to hasty Retha. Everyone wants to see Ms.Beaumont recover just as badly as you do” Mr. Hisakawa said to Retha as she walked out, as he stood in the hall, hearing the end of the conversation.
Mr.Hisakawa rushed over as soon as he got the call, similarly to his colleague, why she got there before him is because one of them drove the speed limit while the other one did not.
Once Retha walked away, The old man turned over to the unknown man who had been peering over Kaidas bed, seeing this person somewhat peaked Mr.Hisakwas curiosity. There were no records of any other man in Kaidas life other than her infamous father and that man was to be locked away for a long time. The geyser extended a hand towards him.
“You must Ms.Beaumont’s guardian I assume? I am Yasunari Hisakawa, headmaster at Komei Academy.”
He looked over at the the man who walked in, Instantly knowing him as the Yarl. Its kinda hard to miss a top hero. He only raised an eyebrow to wonder why he was here for Kaida...but that was soon answered with his introduction. He was quick to assume that he was her guardian. At which he looked the older man in the eyes quite keenly. It could be a ruse to figure out who he was...he had to know Jean was her guardian in France.
The man was cunning and tactical, which put a smile on his face, which clearly could have been just a smile of friendship. He reached out with his own hand and gripped Yasunari Hisakawa’s hand tightly, giving it a firm shake. “It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Hisakawa. My name is Sparks. I am not Kaida’s guardian, But you can say I am old friend of the family in a manner of speaking.” He kept his eyes peeled to the Yarls, showing his confidence. Knowing this man was sure to sniff out a lie. As many older Sharp heros could do. “I was in town on business when I saw a news broadcast with the terrible ordeal, and I saw her. I came to make sure she was cared for properly… which was a wise choice, as they were trying to put ice packs on her…” Which was quite honestly true, except his business was coming to see kaida.
The man returned an even firmer grip as he shook his hand, one in which Hisakawa required to match in strength or else he would have been overpowered. “An old friend huh.” The man squinted his eyes a bit, you could tell by his body language that he became much more alert, “It's nice to meet someone who knows Ms.Beaumont, we should take a seat and talk about how she has acclimated to a new environment as well as to give my poor worn down legs a break.”
Yasunari was just being cordial for the time being as he spoke with this ‘family friend’. He wanted to know his real intentions and why he came over to Japan. The old man pulled two seats forward towards Kaida’s bedside using his quirk neatly placing them behind the man and himself. As he took a seat he let out a satisfactory sigh before gesturing for the man to sit down.
He noticed the change in the Yarls posture. And when he repeated old friend, it was clear that this is what gave him read flags. Sparks closed his eyes and smiled, adding “So to speak…” to clarify it wasn’t a simple definition of their relationship. The man snared him in his words and asked for him to sit down… it was clear, this was an interrogation disguised as a friendly chat.
He couldn’t back out now, it would only confirm red flags. Nodding in thanks he took his seat and crossed his legs while leaning back into the chair, getting as comfortable as he could. If this man was as keen as he thought, any indication of uncomfortableness and edginess will only confirm his theory. “Hopefully the change for her has been good. She was all cooped up in that castle back in France, she didn’t have many friends outside those walls...is she making any friends here?” He asked with honesty.
Sparks was smarter than he looked, when the question about whether Kaida had been making friends Yasunari laughed, “Kaida has made friends with more than half of her class already thanks to her foreign background. Honestly it is difficult to believe that she didn't have many friends before” he folded his hands as well. “I’m sure she will be happy to see that one of her old family friends came to visit, it's not easy for the young ones to leave home so early so every bit of support is crucial.”
Depending on how Kaida will react to seeing this man would determine whether or not he would take action against him. It seemed as though he knew he was out of place, with all these pros around. “I rushed here when I got the call, my grandchildren also attend my academy so I can understand why you would be worried. Will you stick a long for while? Some more pros will be on the way to discuss what had happened, are you familiar with the sky knights?”
He nodded with a smile. That was good to hear. “Bizzare I know, but true, her only friends where the servants in her home. She was rarely allowed outside. I originally thought it was because her father was being paranoid and over protective though after the news of hearing him arrested as the leader of a massive criminal organization, it became more clear.”
It was clear what the Yarl was doing… buying time for other pro heros to get there so they could gain the advantage in numbers. While the yarl was probably capable at giving him a run for his money, he was not prideful enough to solicit help. He folded his hands in his lap and nestled back into his chair to show he was getting comfortable. “I should be here for a while actually, I don’t have a meeting till tomorrow, I want to make sure the doctors don’t screw up anymore with her.” He then cocked his head to the side. “Heard of them, highly organized and relatively new. They were also the ones who fought with the villains who attacked the kids obviously. Personally I like the Valkyries more, i’m a sucker for the feisty ones... ” He said with a smile and wink.
As hard as Yasunari would look, he could not catch a bead of sweat or nervous tick on Sparks face. He wasn’t scared at all honestly. If things came down and they tried to detain him, they wouldn't be able to. Not that they would, as they had nothing on him. “I do hope they got some answers. It's scary to think powerful villains targeting children in an ally.” He leaned forward. “How are the others...there were four others in the attack as well correct? “ A honest concern could be heard in his tone.
Yasunari let out a chuckle at his comment about the Valkyries, he winked right back at Sparks “You young folk have it too easy, back in my hayday I knew a crew that would give them a run for their money...in all categories.” he said smirking right back at the man, “As for answers, the sky knights won't disappoint, I am curious as to why they decided to target them exactly.” A villain strong enough to give the sky knights some trouble and even harm Kaida, Michiko, and Takeshi who’s families technically rule the criminal underworld was strange.
“Yes there were four other students, they’ve all seemed to have lived through the attack though i’d say they’ve sustained heavy damage. I’d say Kaida was very lucky considering the circumstances, she escaped with burns but things could have been much worse. So far 3 of the students have been admitted into the hospital, two are on their way. One off those two is my granddaughter so I sympathize with your desire to get answers greatly.” A vein had popped out on the side of his head as that last word left his tongue.
Sparks smiled as well as he mentioned a crew that he would prefer. When he then mentioned that the skyknights wont dissapoint for answers, he rather doubted that. But perhaps he could be wrong. He looked to Kaida as she laid there, under those heat lamps. While the yarl was right, as she was lucky to only receive burns, it still made his blood boil. His hand clenching in fists. “I hope your granddaughter wasn’t hurt greatly.” he said softly as he turned back to the Yarl. He was going to speak some more. When he glanced at the door behind the Yarl and saw a man in a suit walking by slowly, looking directly at him as he passed.
A flash of anger appeared in his eyes, but it quickly passed as he looked at Yasunari. “Excuse me…” He said as he stood up as he reached into his coat that was on the chair he sat on and pulled out a phone from the vest pocket. Leaving his coat there as he slipped the phone into his pant’s pocket. “I need to make a phone call to her guardian and let him know how Kaida is doing.”
Leaving his jacket behind he went into the hall.
gotta find the right people ;3@Inkarnate
Retha
Retha threw Momo in her car and sped off dodging in and out of traffic with poor Momo holding on for dear life in the passenger seat even with the seat belt forced around her body she still didn’t feel completely safe. Still, even if this entire ordeal was terrifying it was nice to see an adult who genuinely cared about her kids, like her adopted parent, but turned all the way to ten and she didn’t hate that at all. What she did hate however, was the fact that she was forced to sit through the same lecture about safety from start to finish and between that and the crazy driving left the girl in a very uneasy situation. The sudden stop when Retha swerved into a parking spot at the hospital nearly putting the car on two wheels before ending the wild ride and another one began when sue was basically jacked from the vehicle. Retha nearly kicked in the door to the hospital getting to the front receptionist desk and basically strong arm the nurse for information and made it her business to visit each and every one of her students, the last one being Kaida.
“What’s happening to her?” Retha asked, breathing heavily looking down at the little dragon girl, inviting herself over to her bedside the heat lamps and hot packs beaming down on her knowing this wasn’t helping anything. “I’m so sorry this happened to you on my watch, ” she said to herself, tears of lava spilling from her eyes having seen all her students in such condition and she wasn’t there to save them.
The man looked at the woman who walked in with surprise. What are the odds of this happening? Did she already find out that Kaida was her daughter? Was that why she was here? Or is fate playing a part in this? He will have to test the waters to find out.
“She suffered a concussion, along with her ‘frost burns’. Miss Beaumont’s quirk makes her highly vulnerable against cold. With the villains she fought, their quirk is ice cold, it is like she stuck her her hands in molten steel for a moment. At least in comparison to normal anatomy.”
He took a step closer, “ The sheer pain she experienced has knocked her out. Heat is the best thing for her now, more heat the better, slowly her skin will regenerate, but she will have to wear bandages for a while…”
He folded his hands behind his back, knowing the answer already, “Are you her mother?”
Retha jerked her head back when the doctor inquired about her relation to Kaida and gasped a little having done a little digging she learned who her father was and made the connection herself merely minutes before getting the call to come here. It took her by surprise for a split second, but she regained her composure quickly. Looking back, do at Kaida she could hardly believe this was her little star, but this was neither the time nor the place to explain this situation to a complete stranger.
“N-no I’m just the student’s dorm mother, part of Kaida’s quirk is thermal empowerment its tied to her health if she gets too cold, she’ll shut down… were a lot alike” she explained, opening up a console on her hero suit and punching in the force release code. “Stand back, and Momo leave the room, I wouldn’t want you to dry out now” Retha ordered prompting the water student to get behind a wall.
“This’ll help more than any hit pack or heat lamp” and with that said she released the Cryo core of her suit, allowing her own quirk to ramp up from being supressed for so long. The entire hospital heated up, but the room itself was almost smoldering hot, metal object could be turned into skillets and used to fry eggs in a matter of seconds. “I won’t lose you again, ” she said under her breath, stepping closer to the dragon girl
The man looked at her with narrowed eyes, as if reading her reaction like a book. She knew Kaida was her daughter, but only recently...else she would have claimed her. She still possibly would, but the reaction she gave at the question was clear she wasn’t ready for it.
She released something on her suit that instantly released her heat… He sighed and shook his head, while they were similar, Kaida’s Dragon part of her quirk made things even more different. Hwalked around the bed and placed a bare hand on her forearm. “Ms. Hal…” He said calmly, waiting for her to look at him before continuing. He wasn’t even sweating...“While I’m sure Kaida would love the extra heat, Blasting it all at once isn’t going to heal her faster at this point. She’s not in danger at the moment, as she is just unconscious…. This will take time, be it in a volcano or here in the hospital.” He pulled his hand off her arm slowly and put it back behind his back. “However, your natural heat can put others at risk in this hospital, so please, turn your inhibitor back on..” He finished with a small smile, clearly not trying to egg her on and keep her calm.

That doctor, she couldn’t quite put her finger on it, but she knows she’s seen him before. “My little star” she mumbled.
