A dash of hope, A dash of flames and Don't forget a Pinch of Magic

by Grace More

Vernon always made some shady deals with his even shader boss, and after a business diner where Vernon's boss "Jackson" feels the immense sky and cloud rolling of the skinny three-year-old clearly neglected niece, he wants her. Enter 15-year-old Xanxus and 16-year-old Squalo overworked boss and rain officer of varia, respectively. It is just a clusterfuck waiting to happen.

5. Chapter 5

I took one look at the little girl lying on the bed next to the boss and knew I needed the infirmary.

I'm right, of course. I was always right.

As soon as I started the diagnostic, I was disgusted. Severe malnutrition, incorrectly healded broken bones, small amounts of water in her lungs, severe bruising, and the most disgusting thing of all, a piece of discorded sky flame lodged in her forehead, leeching off her life.

I hear squalo say in a short tone, " What is wrong with the pup. " I filled with annoyance and anger. How could he bring me a patient in such a state and be so dismissive? A child sky who is his sky, cloud guardian and sky. How could he sound so dismissive to the person we have a secondary bond with.

I whip around, stalk forward, grab Squalo by the neck, and throw him across the infirmary and out the open window into the gardens below. There is a long call of "VOIIIIII" that fades out as squalo falls.

I suck in a breath of the cool night air and get to work. I am circling my flames around her body and checking for any strain or rebellion of the foreign flames which would cause her to go into discord.

I work on the lungs first. I don't want the water in them to cause her to go into a secondary drowning. I have to deal with the immediate life threat then I will focus on the flame leach.

I focus on the discord flame stuck in her forehead. It was complicated because it was right near her brain. He didn't want to fry her brain now, did he? I was getting increasingly frustrated. Even discorded this flame was extremely powerful. I snarl. I couldn't just get rid of it with sun flames. I suddenly get an idea. I check back to her core and feel bosses flames floating around in it. Their new harmony is still fresh.

If I could just direct the boss's flame to the discord flame, the wrath would take care of it. It is extremely difficult, but he manages. Time seems to be fading by with how much focus and energy all this takes.

Finally, the discord flame gives way and incinerate under the weight of both wrath and sun flames. I feel my flames almost depleted, but I will be out of it for a week if I stop now. I just grit my teeth and move on to the bones correcting them.

I leave the bruising and malnutrition.

Well, time to sleep now. I think as everything goes black.
