Chapter 25

I completed my daily chores, Gigantomachia was sleeping which meant that Shigaraki was also sleeping, he had dropped onto the couch and passed out, he looked so innocent when he slept. I had quickly slipped on his gloves with one finger pocket missing so he didn't accidentally disintegrate anything while getting some shut eye, I remembered with sadness what Hawks asked of me…to use my death kiss on two more people. I looked to the leader of the league, and I knew the other would be nearly impossible to get close to or use my quirk on, there was no reason the giant would need a healing kiss unless Shigaraki critically wounded him. It had surprised me that with his powerful quirk that he still hadn't forced the giant to kneel, it was a little strange to think about it; apparently he had helped in the liberation army attack. I looked to the leader now with his eyes open and rubbing his eyes, "ah man…the monster will be getting up again soon…" I moved over to him "lay back down and sleep leader, you need rest; the big guy will be there when you chose to go see him, leave it be."

I had moved to his side hoping to get him to lay back down he was so tired I was sure he would not hear reason "no…I need…I need…" "what you need is sleep," I put my hands on him to get him to sit down, I paused and back up worried once the gloves I made for him crumbled away. I looked at him in worry as he paused realising what he had done and looked to me obviously wanting to say something but closed his mouth and in a way steeled himself. I was not blind he had been overworking himself, he was either training and fighting or he was on the phone progressing some sort of 'plan' along the way, I had not missed him saying Dabi's name, but he didn't speak to him, Dabi never called and he had not returned much to my sadness, boredom and worry.

I swallowed taking a tentative step forward "you have me here to make sure yous are all healthy, but you're not, not right now, as my job I am telling you to lay back down and sleep, of our leader can't operate at 100% then how do you expect the rest too, your second in command isn't here either." His eyes snapped to me then and I flinched a little especially when a smirk covered his face and he zeroed in on me "ah so that's it, you miss your boyfriend~" I blushed "no, I mean well yes…but we're not…like…that's not what I was even saying…" I apparently amused the leader "well I can't say I blame you, besides the games here and the good food and drinks we get from Giran there isn't much else to do…weren't you like a student before this?" I was happy for the subject change "ah yes, I had two more years left of becoming a doctor, guess I won't now…" "You must be smart~" he spoke like an adult would a small child to get them to speak about their likes and dislikes. I frowned a little concerned "ah yeah, I was offered a scholarship by the Yaoyorozu trust who send potential people to uni on a free trip pretty much."

He put a hand to his chin still acting like he was trying to figure something out "a shame all that potential and teaching is going down the drain don't you think?" I shrugged "well my quirk has gotten much better but I suppose, I was getting more of a hands on training in the last year and it was going to intensify within the last few years." He stood "well I may have need of you completing your studies…what do you say if you were to finish your studies of course it will be far more hands on though." Her eyes sparkled a little just at the thought of getting her PhD, "that sounds amazing and a little too good to be true," he smirked "well I happen to have a very smart old doctor who may be willing to teach you a thing or two…" I had remembered him talking on the radio to them or the phone my opinion of him was sort of low. "But what about yous, who will take care of you while I'm gone," he nodded coming over and playing with my hair without decaying it "ah ever our beautiful little Bambi, love and care…but don't worry we will be fine, winter has passed… so?" He asked me once more I smiled and hugged him "yes please, oh thank you!" Hearing him chuckle was unusual and deep in his chest, I was a little surprised with a kiss on my lips, but I figured he wanted to get some healing in on his sleep deprived state and stamina so I gave him enough to heal him all up. He pulled back once getting what he wanted "alright then, let me have a little chat with the doctor and see what I can do," I was surprised by his sudden offer and the realisation that Hawks words and plans from the other day was coming to fruition so much quicker than I had suspected.

I looked to my red phone that was turned off and just sitting there, I knew turning it on and sitting it within the hideout would be a way for all the heroes to locate the mad scientists lab, but I was so scared, but I owed Hawks…was this the first step before taking them all down? I didn't want Dabi or any of them behind bars, they were aiming to help society whether the world accepted it or not. I swallowed but once the door to the cabin opened up with Shigaraki once more I chose to leave the phone behind, this was too dangerous, I was not a hero. "Well the good news is that the old doctor has wanted a… apprentice of some sort for a while now, perhaps yous can bounce ideas off of one another, and learn new things, he is one of the most knowledgeable doctors when it comes to quirks." I nodded all excited to continue my studies however I just hoped that the doctor wasn't too horrible, "when will I be leaving?"

Shigaraki smirked "right now," my eyes widened feeling something crawl up my throat and out like vomit would, but oh it was so much worse tasting than vomit, it was like tar and dead carcass smooshed together with the worse after taste. But strangely that was not the worst of it all, it was the moment of having my airway clogged and being unable to breathe properly that caused me to grip and claw at my throat before feeling a pull motion and I was very dizzy when I dropped onto the floor. I looked up to see many full body tubes from the floor to the roof, filled with Nomu but not normal ones, they looked dangerous, on top of that they reminded me of the one that had taken down the skyscraper and Endeavor, there wasn't much of a floor seeing it was covered in cords and piping. Some were so large that I had to step over them and slide over others, the lighting was low mainly the vat like tubes of creatures lining up like pillars were only illuminated.

"Ah~ there you are…the little kind doctor, well then shall we start on your training to become a real doctor?" I looked up to see an old partially bald doctor with strange glasses on and a mostash. "Ah sure that sounds good, just need to get pass all these tripping hazards," I continued to make my way through the near neck braking trip hazard and finally up to his location. "So you are Lisa Toshiro?" I nodded "and you're the doc?" he smiled "you can all me Ujinko the others do, it's not my real name like how the others call you Bambi, ah yeah I see it now…so Bambi how about you tell me what you've learned so far?"
