First I want to thank my followers even though I just wrote Ch 1. Second I want to thank Victorsmyname for the compliment and I will explain Vincent's Quirk as the story progresses. Please comment and offer tips I wish to improve. Now enjoy Ch 2.
Saturday was the day the quirk analysis Vincent had to take in order to properly understand how it functioned. Unfortunately for Vincent that day was today, it doesn't matter who does the exam it's the needles he hated the most. Vincent practically prayed that they cancel and put it off for a little longer. Fate however had said no and after hearing Sister Diane tell him to get ready he knew his silent prayers were ignored.
Vincent wore a blue t-shirt and red basketball shorts with no pockets. Sister Diane dressed in her nun-attire (aka penguin suit) and simply waited for Vincent to put on his brown sandals.
"Ready?" Sister Diane asked.
"Not really." Vincent answered irritably.
"I'm sure it will be fine." Sister Diane said trying to assure Vincent.
The two waved good-bye to Father shon and Elizabeth then made their way to the bus stop. After the bus arrived and the duo payed the fine to ride. Both of them sat through and waited for about five stops before arriving at the hospital stop. After exiting the hospital was in view just had to cross 3 streets. Sister Diane simply gave a look to Vincent that he knew too well. It was her 'Behave or else', stare unfortunately Vincent had no room to argue. He was notorious for getting into trouble after all.
"I will do my best to behave." Vincent promised earning a smile from Sister Diane.
Sister Diane's silence was her way of showing she knew Vincent understood her. After crossing the 3 streets they were a parking lot stretch away from the hospital entrance. Carefully traversing the parking lot with every intent to not put so much as a smudge on any motor vehicle. Sister Diane had successfully lead the two and entered the hospital.
"Alright Vincent you're doing good keep it up please." Sister Diane encouraged.
As soon as the two made it too the lobby Vincent had a seat and waited for Sister Diane's return. She came back with a clipboard and pen. A decent amount of time had passed, Vincent had seen more than few patients enter and leave. Then the moment had finally come.
"Vincent!" Vincent and Sister Diane heard a nurse call.
Nervously Vincent approached followed by Sister Diane.
"Here." Vincent barely managed.
The nurse was a graceful young woman with glasses that hid her eyes and had a neatly kept short violet hair. Her out fit was blue scrubs with an apron that held a front pocket full of pens.
"This way." She directed Vincent and Sister Diane to follow.
The two simply followed the nurse to a room labeled 4-B.
"Alright I will be back with the doctor please wait here and Vincent have a seat here." The nurse while grabbing a seat for Vincent.
"Ok." Vincent said softly.
Vincent took his seat and saw the nurse walk out his nervousness was obvious to Sister Diane and she knew he feared needles to be quite frank who wouldn't be.
"You're doing good just hold out a bit longer." Sister Diane encouraged but unsure if Vincent even heard her.
The doctor entered and it was a tall man with blond hair and very well kept mustache, he wore a suit and white lab coat. Everything about him was calm and professional to his stance including his presence.
"Alright then we're going to take a blood sample, cheek swab and full body examination." He said in a calm yet professional tone. "Before I forget I need that clipboard ma'am."
Sister Diane went red with embarrassment completely forgetting she still had it. After she handed over the clipboard to the doctor, he quickly skimmed it over.
"Alright let's start with the full body examination." The doctor ordered.
Vincent went through an invasive yet medical full body examination, then a cheek swab and last but not least his blood being drawn. However the last part was more difficult with Vincent now panicking.
"Please don't." Vincent pleaded.
"Nurse cover his eyes he won't panic if he doesn't see it." The doctor ordered.
Vincent soon had his eyes covered with a towel and felt the needle enter his skin on the inside of the his right elbow. It was painful and before he knew it they removed it. He was bandaged up on his right elbow and found Sister Diane look at him with sympathy.
"It's over now." Sister Diane said soothingly.
Vincent just sat in his seat and saw the doctor and nurse leave the two for a while.
"Can we go home?" Vincent asked miserably.
"Not yet." Sister Diane said softly.
The doctor returned with a folder and document the latter handed to Sister Diane.
"That there is the quirk registration you'll need to fill that out later." The doctor said taking his seat.
"Thank you." Sister Diane said taking the document.
"As for his quirk it's definitely something else, it absorbs heat both in cold and hot temperatures." The doctor explained.
"Absorbs?" Sister Diane said puzzled.
"Let's say he touched something so cold it would cause freezer burn or frostbite if exposed too long he would just absorb the burn damage as energy." The doctor continued to explain.
"You're making it sound like he can't be burned by fire or ice." Sister Diane said in disbelief.
"That's exactly what I am saying and to top it off he gets stronger with more heat he absorbs." The doctor concluded.
After learning my quirk practically made me fire and ice proof with a buff of increased strength it makes my quirk situational. Even so to me my quirk was just not flashy enough to make me seem heroic but I could see how it might be beneficial later in life. However I felt violated after the whole ordeal. I was so grossed out that I remained silent until we made back to the orphanage and I hid in a corner.
"Uh was it that bad?" Father Shon asked simply stumped.
"Yes, he's absolutely terrified of needles." Sister Diane whispered in Father Shon ear.
Father Shon simply nodded not wanting to push the subject. He knew it was more than just a shot Vincent endured. Elizabeth kept Vincent company simply telling him that All Might saved the day by the heroic deeds he accomplished that day. It made Vincent feel a little better to have his focus directed on other subjects.
Two weeks later…
Elizabeth and Vincent were preparing for visitors or potential families depending on their final decision. Both of them had put on presentable clothes and cleaned up. Nervous would be an understatement, terrified would be appropriate.
"I wonder what they'll be like?" Elizabeth asked breaking the silence.
"Good question." Vincent pondered unsure of what to expect.
Sister Diane had called for the two of them and now the moment of truth.
"Shall we." Vincent said leading the way.
Elizabeth nodded and the two made their way to visiting room as they called it. As soon as the two opened the door they saw Father Shon and Sister Diane along with an odd couple. From what Vincent and Elizabeth saw there was a tall lizard man with a striking beautiful woman. The lizard man was a walking bipedal bearded dragon that stood over 6ft and wore a blue business suit. The woman next to him was a sight to behold. She stood easily at 5ft 9in and wore a black dress. She had black hair and amethyst eyes that complimented her light complexion.
"Vincent, Elizabeth these two are Mr and Mrs Yamori." Sister Diane introduced.
"It's nice to meet you." Elizabeth and I bowed.
"It's nice to meet you as well." Mr Yamori greeted in a deep voice startling Elizabeth.
Elizabeth hid behind me I couldn't blame her we rarely got visitors.
"My dear husband I think you frightened the poor girl." Mrs Yamori stated practically making Mr Yamori reel.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Mr Yamori apologized bashfully.
"It's ok." Elizabeth said softly.
We spent a good deal of time chatting with the couple before Elizabeth and I were told to wait outside.
"I can't believe how nice Mr Yamori is." Elizabeth said with smile.
"They weren't scary at all." Vincent added seeing Elizabeth day dream.
"Yeah but do you think we're going to be part of their family?" Elizabeth asked breaking out of her day dream.
"I don't know." Vincent said unsure.
Before they could continue Father Shon came to see the two and knelt down to their level.
"Alright Vincent I'm afraid you're staying with us." Father Shon stated with a heavy heart.
"I'm a troublemaker kind of expected." Vincent joked trying to hide that he was hurt.
"Elizabeth Mr and Mrs Yamori decided to make you a part of their family." Father Shon said calmly.
"But it's not fair that Vincent didn't get adopted." Elizabeth complained.
"I'll be ok Elizabeth they want you to be a part of their family you should be happy." Vincent said with a smile.
Elizabeth didn't argue after that, she packed what little she had in a box and met with her new family.
"Bye everyone and thank you for taking care of me." Elizabeth waved.
Elizabeth walked with the Yamori couple and drove away in a blue Toyota Avalon. As soon as they disappeared and we're out of sight Vincent began to cry.
"That was very mature of you Vincent." Father Shon said putting his hand on Vincent's shoulder.
"Why does it hurt so much?" Vincent sobbed.
"Saying goodbye to a friend always hurts Vincent, unfortunately it never gets easier." Father Shon said with a tear escaping his eye.
Sister Diane escorted Vincent back inside and let lay down on the couch. Seeing Vincent hurt the way he was made her feel terrible.
"Try to sleep for a bit you'll feel a little bit better." Sister Diane offered.
Vincent only nodded trying to get comfortable. Sister Diane left Vincent alone without another word. Vincent knew he was alone and that his friend left with a family. Yet he felt happy for her and at the same time sad now that she's gone.
"No one wants me." Vincent sobbed. "What did I do wrong."
Meanwhile, Sister Diane found Father Shon in the kitchen and saw he was clearly pissed.
"Father Shon." Sister Diane said getting his attention.
"How is he?" Father Shon asked.
"You already know the answer." Sister Diane said miserably.
"This is bull shit!" Father Shon said slamming his hands down on the table. "He's a good kid I know that much!"
"Father Shon I understand how you feel so please don't lose your temper." Sister Diane sympathized.
"He acted mature and in the end he gets told your not wanted." Father Shon snapped.
"I know that too, I'm sorry they only wanted Elizabeth but Father Shon he's hurt and he will need us to guide him." Sister Diane snapped causing Father Shon to somber up.
"You're right." Father Shon admitted.
"We just have to be patient for now and maybe your miracle will happen." Sister Diane said while leaving the kitchen.
"If there is a god you're cruel you know that." Father Shon said aloud.
Elsewhere, Elizabeth had got accustomed to her new home and room. She a pink full bed and simply loved the stuff animals she got. Elizabeth had gotten ready for bed and wore a new set of red pajamas and knelt at the side of her beg. She prayed thanking everyone and wishing for Vincent to find a new home and family.
"Stay strong Vincent I just know a family is waiting for you." Elizabeth said while climbing into bed.
