Law woke up the next day with his chest screaming at him. It was like fire every time he took a deep breath and he diagnosed broken ribs. Carefully sitting up, he grimaced at the tight bandages aggravating his bruise. The rawness of his throat and lungs didn't help either and he plotted all of the ways he was going to make that bastard suffer.

He began treating himself. Mending the broken bones was a bit more challenging than mending flesh (too hard and it could restrict his movement or breathing but too soft and it could snap again), but it didn't really require any extra strength. Then he managed his lungs, removing the fibers and healing the damage before starting on the bruises. They looked terrible. Corazon probably freaked.

When he finished, he used his room to get out of the bed without disturbing any of the slumbering group and looked for his clothes. When he couldn't find them, he just shrugged and headed out into the hall in the gown he'd been dressed in. At least they'd given him boxers too.

Room by room, he healed the patients within. Some had other injuries they'd been admitted for—broken bones, mottled limbs from the heavy machinery at the factories—which he also treated.

On his fifth patient, Corazon all but fell into the room. "Law-chan, what are you doing, you weren't cleared by your doctor!"

"I am my primary physician and I say I am well enough to work." He replied absently.

"You were injured?" His patient asked curiously.

"No, I wear this gown for the breeze." He replied and they laughed.

Corazon gave him an exasperated look. "Okay, but don't push yourself too hard, okay?"

"Do I ever?"

The man went to go wake the others and Law soon had three shadows but he had his own clothes now. His healing was going smoothly, no unforeseen complications and nothing major enough to set him back on his estimated number of patients. But his family was starting to get on his nerves because as he worked his way through the remaining patients, they nagged him about everything.

"Tell me when you need a break."

"Don't fucking pass out on us, Trafalgar."

"You want some water?"

"I really think you ought to take a break."

"Should we get an early lunch?"

He wanted to strangle them. It was mostly Kid and Corazon, but Killer threw in his own share of comments and he very quickly became annoyed by their badgering but held his tongue as he continued on as usual. "Yes" "No" "I will" "I won't" became the only things he spoke for the next three hours and at noon exactly, he finished healing the last patient he was able and the last patient in the hospital. The timing was perfect.

"How about we get some lunch now?"

A tic appeared on his forehead. "Fine."

So after a quick lunch, they saw the patients off on their way to Barcel Bay and a few hours later the clearance came through along with an update on the mothers and their children.

He left at that point, not caring about the emotional broadcast, but twenty minutes later he was called back to speak with the doctor in charge of his patients' care. The man was very arrogant, but Law wasn't above stoking the man's ego in order to ensure his patients received the very best treatment. He practically had the man wrapped around his finger by the time he ended the call and he noticed Corazon was looking at him with pride.

He colored slightly and glared at him. "What?"

Of course, he was pulled into a crushing hug. "Ah, my little Law-chan is growing up so fast! Covert operations and successful subterfuge and manipulations!"

"Cora-san!" He protested, struggling until he realized the man wasn't going to let him go. Sighing, he gave in and hugged him around the neck. "Don't be so dramatic. I only ensured my patients receive the best care until I am able to rejoin them."

"Still! Well done!" He insisted.

"Yeah, yeah, Trafalgar's the shit. Can we get back to savin' the country now?" Kid asked in mild annoyance.

"Drama queens everywhere…" Law huffed as Corazon set him down.

Kid flicked him off and they headed to the clubhouse to continue working on masks.

AN: Okay, yeah, very short. But next chapter will be much longer.
