Jett listened to the injured kid, he didn’t make much sense as he spoke. This caused Jett to be slightly more nervous as he picked up his pace. He looked down as he said at least it wasn’t to the knee. Was that a Skyrim Reference? He smiled for a split second before he continued.
Jett looked over to Kasuke as she said it was his fault for not finishing his food. That she could take the kid to the nurses office. She also mentioned he would be too preoccupied with A-2 to do so. He felt like he should go back to just prove a point! But he could never drop this kid into her arms and run off to eat. He merely shook his head as she then turned towards the kid and asked how he was feeling only to realize...the kid passed out. He stopped and tried shaking him
Hey kid! Wake up! When he just flopped around like a rag doll he looked to Kasuke.
”I’m going to jump ahead with him.” He spun in place, using his free arm to slipp between the kids legs and lifted him up into a fireman's carry, grunting as he did as the kid wasn’t light. He then turned down the hall and tried to focus,
Come on, work! He told himself as his eyes narrowed as he was straining mentally. He could feel his energy was sufficient enough, he knew this, yet it wouldn’t engage. A surprised look came on his face as he didn’t move at all. What the hell was going on?
He shifted his weight and balanced the kid on his back and reached up to cinch the belt even tighter. Mina, meanwhile, had stopped walking and was waiting for him to teleport, leaving her to...walk to the nurse’s office? Head back to the cafeteria? He hadn’t really thought that through, and after she had decided to use some of her free time to help him take his kid to the infirmary.
It took her a few seconds to find it odd that he hadn’t gone yet, and her eyebrow raised. With genuine concern, she asked
”What’s wrong? You’re not teleporting. Is everything alright?”Jett finished cinching the belt as tight as it could go when he heard Kasuke ask if everything was alright. No it wasn’t he couldn’t teleport and this kid was bleeding all over him now. He gritted his teeth and looked over to her.
I don’t know what’s happening… I can't teleport...I should have enough energy now to easily get him there but it’s...just not working.” A little worry was in his voice, he didn’t have this happen to him before.
”But that's not what is important now.” He started to move forward, testing out the weight on his shoulders to see how fast he can move.
”You can’t teleport?!” Mina exclaimed, trying to stop herself from shouting.
“Well, it’s a good job you’re heading to the nurse’s office. You’ll need to check in too.”After a few seconds of watching him walk with the boy on his back, she shook her head.
”We’ll take all day like that. Let’s carry him together,” she volunteered.
Jett looked over at Kasuke with a raised eyebrow. It felt kinda nice that was concerned enough about him to raise her voice over the issue. She offered to help and looked at her, all clean and pretty in her uniform. Him with bloody stains on his white shirt now. If he did let her help she would have to take the legs while he would want to take the heavier upper body. He couldn’t allow her to do that. Plus he could do this, he was just feeling out the weight distribution.
”Thanks for the offer, but I can handle it. I don’t want you to get all bloody as well. How bout you run ahead and make sure no one is going to be in my way around corners so I don’t run into them?“He said with a smile before pushing himself forward into a run. He knew it might not go over well with her, she was fiercely independent and willing to get her hands dirty. He would just have to bite the bullet on this though.
Mina rolled her eyes, but complied with his demand without a single word of protest, going on ahead. She understood being proud, and independent, and how that didn’t mean that she had to take tasks off everybody’s shoulders. They all most likely felt the same way as her, and relieving a hero student of their burden was an insult. She only asked in the first place because he seemed like he’d take too long, but he was trying harder now, thankfully. Plus, as much as Mina was always willing to get her hands dirty for the sake of being a hero, she diiiiid just put this uniform on one class ago, and it was pristine…
She didn't say a word nor did he see the eye roll. It was nerve wracking how she took it. But he shook his head to push the thought out of his mhead as he pushed himself to go even faster, workin up a good rhythm to keep the weight centered on his shoulders. He didn’t notice the blood dripping down his leg as he rounded a corner and the blood caused him to slip, landing hard on his opposite knee. Letting out a wordles cry of pain As he was unprepared for it he fell to the ground, dropping the kid as he fell flat on his face.
Jett though, despite his hurting knee, and being flat on the ground. rolled back up to his feet quickly and moved so he was at the kids feet, who happened to roll onto his back after he dropped him. Bending his leg a few times to get used to the pain he grabbed the unconscious boy’s uninjured leg and pull it to his chest as he rolled over top of him. The momentum of his roll and pulling his leg up at the same time, made it effortlessly easy for him to get the kid back onto his shoulders and onto his feet in a couple seconds and started into a run again, wincing with each step on his left leg.
Mina had turned back when she heard him yell out, and now caught up with him, in his painful advance towards the nurse’s office. She looked him up and down, before her eyes fixed on his leg.
”That blood’s not coming from you, is it?” she asked quietly, all sense of her iciness or aggressive haughtiness now gone. She was worried now.
As Jett continued to run he was focused on not slipping again he didn’t notice Kasuke coming back to him until she was right next to him. When she asked if that blood was coming from him he looked down to his own leg. He could feel the blood on the inside of his pants. He didn’t think falling down like that would cause him to get a cut on his leg. But with the kids leg on his right shoulder and his left knee was bleeding, It was a stretch. He did notice that she was genuinely concerned though. That put a smile on his face, though strained
” No.. no it's not, I’m fine. as much as he thought she was even more cute with that worried look and tone, he instantly tried to make it so she didn’t worry bout him.
He wasn’t doing a very good job of it. In fact, trying to play it cool while obviously hurt annoyed Mina, and this showed. The difference between the usual Mina, who people assume is pissed off, and a Mina who is actually annoyed, Jett was about to find out, as her eyes flared up and she got in his face. In contrast to her cold iciness, she was fiery right now.
”No, you are not okay! You’re bleeding! Stop trying to play it cool! You! Are! Hurt!”Jett nearly ran into her as she jumped in front of him, but he managed to stop just in time. His eyes were wide as she got up in his face. Not expecting that sort of reaction from her. Shifting his weight to his good leg just enough to relieve some pain. He smiled.
Ya know...you’re even more cute when you're mad.” he said while trying to side step around her,
But even if I am hurt, it doesn’t matter. He’s more hurt than I.That complement either struck a chord or did not go down well, as Mina both flushed and looked doubly annoyed.
”Well, I’m not hurt at all, so either give me him, or take my shoulder!”Jett only smiled more seeing her get more annoyed and flushed.
oh, never mind. Seeing you flush is now makes you even more cute than ever..” he said with a smile. As much as he liked the idea of wrapping his arm over her shoulders, he didn't want to get any blood on her. But when he looked down he noticed the only blood on his left side was on his leg. What the hell.
Shifting the kid so he was more on his right side he thought about what to do. He could push through the pain, but here was a chance.
”Alright fine. No way in hell am I going to let you carry him. But I'll take your shoulder.”The moment, he gave permission, Mina took his arm, twirled under it, and then pushed herself up, forcefully taking the weight of Jett’s left side, including the kid on his shoulders. She showed no signs of struggling with this weight despite her small frame. She must be far stronger than she looked. The three of them now headed to the nurse’s office as one mobile creature.
Jett was surprised at how quick she took his arm and twirled user it. Also the fact she twirled. He was also surprised at her forcefulness and ability to lift some of their weight, it just added to his respect for her. As they continued on despite her impressive strength he still tried to take as much weight as he could on his own.
But just as he feared would happen, he started to feel more pain from his leg. He ignored it mostly but he then looked down at Kauske,
” Thank you Kasuke.” he said softly. But then added with a smile
if you wanted to walk with my arm over your shoulder you didn't have to wait for me to get hurt.” he said chuckling.
Kasuke ignored this comment for a few seconds, inwardly trying to think up a good retort to that. She was usually quick with retorts to pick-up lines, but this time, her mind was totally blank. So, she instead just went with her gut.
”If you ever try that while you’re uninjured, I will correct the ‘you’re not injured’ part of the equation.”Jett simply smiled and said,
”Promises, Promises.” It was around this time they made it to the nurse’s office. They moved as one to the closest bed, while not moving his arm from Kasuke’s shoulder he twisted his body enough for the kid on his shoulders to slump off bim and roll onto his back right into bed. [color=007236]“Nurse Kiwi!”[color=007236] He called out,
“we have a student who was knocked out due to blood loss!” He said leaning a little more onto Kasuke. And taking a moment to relive the pain in his knee and milk this opportunity as much as he could.
Nurse kiwi had been at her desk eating her lunch, spicy beef udon with a bowl of rice on the side, soon the frenchman's grandson as well as the blinding girl from this morning was here again. Nurse kiwi smiled, “Well if it isn't the little blinding girl, and you're here too Jetty. I hope your not hurt again” She said as she folded her legs one over the other with a playful smile. “A little blood never hurt no one, I'll have him fixed right up.” She said taking another bite of her beef udon before getting up from the chair. She grabbed some gloves from a dispenser, “Wow are you cheating on me with this beautiful girl. How could you” Nurse Kiwi had a playfully worried voice as she put her hands to her cheeks. She then turned to the boy who was unconscious before releasing her bugs once again. They seeped in through the boy's clothes soon covering him completely as they diagnose his problem, “a couple of scrapes and a deep cut on his knee” the nurses bugs soon began migrating towards the boys lower party. The mosquitoes on blood control, while the termites on tissue repair, the beetles worked on the boys minor scrapes. Soon the bugs began resurfacing through the boy's pants to indicate that they were done. “Alright he should be fine” she said as the bugs glomped back onto her arm. “Anything else I can do for you Jetty” she said Lewdly.
Mina, due to the hectic morning thus far, had forgotten all about the stunt she pulled on Kiwi before class started, and was secretly very glad she was unhurt. This nurse struck her as the type who would get revenge via treatment of your injuries. That said, she didn’t take kindly to Jett taking advantage of her giving him her shoulder. With a cold, remorseless expression, she gestured with her thumb and told Kiwi
”Jett’s left knee needs treatment.”Jett was taken back that nurse kiwi knew his nickname. Damnit Gramps. But also was the nurse trying also said that he was cheating on her? Didn't he talk with her for like three seconds? She was a weird yet pretty one. Until he saw the bugs come out of her skin and take care of the kid. Why the hell did it have to be bugs? Wait that means he had bugs in his head!? He shivered at the mere thought of it. When she turned back to him and asked if he needed anything else in a very lewd tone. Jett couldn't help but try and take a step back.
Kasuke then threw him under the bus and said he needed help with his knee. He pushed her hand down gently but quickly shaking his head.
“No I don't. Just some leftover blood from that kid.” He moved his arm up and off of Kasuke and turned hiding a wince. Before walking to the door.
Kiwi tilted her head and grinned, “Don't be so shy jetty, if your hurt you can tell me. I just want you to feel good” she put a hand on her hip. “Besides, the quicker you feel better the faster you can go back to your Hero training, so come on” Kiwi lunged forward and grabbed Jett's wrist, “It's not as bad as you think!” She said smiling.
Jett was so close to the door when he heard Ms. Kiwi speak up again. Somehow she managed to grab his wrist. A shiver went up his spine as he looked back. Oh it's as bad as he thought it was. All those creepy crawlers crawling into his skin routing around in there. He rather just deal with the pain any day of the week.
“It's uh, training! Yes I have to learn how to deal with pain on the job. And patch myself up. Yeah that's it!” He said with a fake smile. He just pull that out of nowhere, as he tried to pull away from the nurse, though she had vice like grip on his wrist. He knew it would be better just to let it happen and move onto his teleporting problems. But logic didn't survive in his brain at the moment.
He looked to Kasuke with some hope of sympathy. At least not just to leave him her alone with the nurse. She was actually about to leave, but then she remembered something else, and turned back to the two.
”Oh, miss nurse. I think it’s also worth mentioning that Jett had some trouble using his quirk on the way here. I...hope it’s nothing serious, but please look into it.”Kiwi raised her eyebrow, “Ahh problem with your quirk” she then turned to Mina. “I'll take care of him don't worry” her face turned serious to Jett.
“Mr.Haven, the reason you are having trouble with using your quirk is because of the head injury you suffered during your battle exercise. Had...a small fracture in your skull as well as a mild concussion, I was able to repair your fracture but your symptoms of your concussion will linger around. These symptoms include temporary inability to use your quirk” She said losing her playful tone, “Whatever head injury you suffered during that exercise was brutal, you're lucky you didn't get knocked into a Coma, as for your leg injury right now that is an easy fix. Lay on the bed and I'll get you fixed up” she said letting go of Jett's wrist
Jett looked at Kasuke with a look of playful betrayal. But then Ms. Kiwi started to speak about his earlier injury. Temporality losing his quirk because of that fight? His demeanor changed from being nervous to that of just worried. He had stopped fighting to get out of the nurse's office. He glanced at Kasuke for a moment even though they just met, he hoped she would stay. Even though it was personal, she already knew more than anyone else in the school. He wasn't going to ask her though. He would walk over to sit down on the bed indicated. Mina, without saying anything or even communicating anything to Jett via facial expression or body language, silently sat down on the nearby chair.
This sounded an awful like amnesia, but in their cases sometimes it would last for years, decades even. He then once sitting down he looked up and with a worried tone.
“How temporarily? I've heard of people losing memories after a similar head trauma and they didn't remember for years to come! What if I don't get my quirk back for years as well?” The bugs began flowing off Kiwis arms and globbing onto the boy’s leg, “It's hard to tell, I pray it's not too long. You bounced back from the injury once you were healed with quick time, though that's a good sign things like these are tricky, problems seem to just be surfacing so who knows what else may come. Whenever your body feels like it is ready to use your quirk, for now while you recover you should see if you can use your ability every here and there to see if it came back. In this situation you're at the mercy of your own body,” Kiwi said as the bugs crawled all over the boys leg. The mosquitos had been sucking all the blood from the boy's skin as well as his clothing. He had a good size cut on his knee nothing too serious, the termites patched it up quickly. Jett would feel small pins as the bugs worked their magic, they resurfaced soon. The blood on Jett's clothes and body slowly disappearing as his clothes regained their original color, they were just slightly damp. “Alright all better, any other questions I can answer for you?” She said as the bugs burrowed right back into her skin. She began taking her gloves off.
Jett was so preoccupied he didn't even really notice the bugs crawling onto him. He immediately thought of his worst case scenario where he couldn't teleport ever again. What happens then to his dream of becoming a hero ? Could he even do it without his quirk? Yeah he trained to be so he didn't have rely on quirk.
’” I… I will….be a a hero just like you Papa! “ ! he heard his 4 year self voice say in his head. Back when he couldn't control the quirk to his liking at all[color=007236][i]“I don't need my quirk…I'll do it…”[/]. [/color] Before he met ‘The idiot general ‘ he shook his head. It was pretty straight forward and just wanted to get out of there. “No, Thank you miss kiwi. I don't have anything to ask right now.” He said in a much more serious and somber tone. He looked at his clean clothes, before hopping down into the ground. He looked to Kasuke and tried to smile but hasn't feeling it.
Mina managed a sad half smile in return, which she could only maintain for a few seconds before it died, and she looked down. Her own quirk wasn’t very impressive by itself, and she was still a force to be reckoned with even without it, but it was a fundamental part of her. Losing her quirk, even for a week, would be like losing a limb. She couldn’t even imagine how Jett must be feeling.
Jett mind was bouncing all over the place, what if it didn't return? Would he be kicked out of the Hero Course? Would he still manage to overcome the classes without and become a hero like he thought he would at such a young age? If he lost his power with such a hard hit, would he have to protect his head more in a fight?
He grabbed his jacket and belt which had been cleaned as well and put them on. “ I should probably head back to class then. He said as he glanced at the clock and it's time. Mina nodded and stood up. She still looked very subdued and contemplative
”I’ve finished lunch, and there’s nothing else I need to do. I’ll head to class too. What’s your next class?”.
Jett looked to her and looked like he snapped out of a trance. Though he had to think for a moment as he tugged at the sleeves of his blazer to make them even on both sides.
“ I think it's the culinary arts” He said while raising an eyebrow. Not sure, he would have to double check. He looked her in the eyes and asked,
“What about you Kasuke ?” Trying to push his previous thoughts about what he just learned behind him. Hopefully she was in the same class.
She was, but she still found that admission rather strange.
”Same. I didn’t take you for a wannabe chef, Jett.”Jett shrugged. He was glad though she was in his class still.
“I love food, and I enjoy the process of making it, I've always cooked for my family growing up as well.” He opened the door and waved his other hand for her to go first.
“What is your excuse?” “The opposite,” she replied.
”I’ve never cooked before in my life, and I feel as a fifteen year old, it’s time to start. My dad’s always been against me learning. He says that a Lady should not be expected to make her own meals. He thinks it’s degrading. So, call it rebellion if you’d like.”Jett allowed her to exit first as she explained her reasonings. He followed her out while looking to the nurse and nodding in thanks. He then moved to her right in step.
Well I reserve the right to try your first dish then. he said, putting on a smile. He knew it might be a bad Idea, perhaps dangerous. But it would be worth it.
