[CHUCK MCCOY]

✧ RIP ✧

I wheeze, lean into the headrest. The roof exchanges places with the steering wheel so fast my brain’s spinnin’ in my skull. I’m drowning. In my own blood, in the caustic trace of my seared flesh mixed with gasoline, the metallic tang of iron. I lay a hand over the right side of my ribcage, don’t feel the exposed viscera erratically pulsating back up at me. I close my eyes. Another long, raspy breath stains the car. Fuck.

I ran away from Dauntless after we beat those ■■■■’s. Ain’t have to, I’m a janitor right now although you wouldn’t be able to tell it when my jumpsuit and ballcap’s more red than white. I was the one who was attacked. Maybe it was just instinct, fleeing the scene, the need to not draw further attention to myself or my beautiful, beautiful wife. We don’t need that mess, some frayed part of my consciousness vaguely thinks.

I’m not thinkin’ at all. There’s the dull roar of agony under a very fresh, very much screaming pain, but even above that is the most gorgeous girl in the world. Kazashi. Y’know what I ain’t wanna do, more than anythin’ in the world right now? Is come home with gaping chunks of flesh outta me, burned skin and what looks to be a split skull, Nah. My wife’s x months pregnant. So what’s the alternative? Wait it out by myself for a few days under this underpass, leave her wondering what the hell happened while my regen patches me up?

Also inexcusable. I needed to get better, fast. Come home, kiss her cute forehead and tuck her in. Cold, lifeless hands grip the steering wheel again, engine roaring to life in mismatched sensations. There’s a place guys like me go. You live this life long enough, you know how to read the world, know who can help for a price. In torrential downpour, of the rain and me bleeding out, I race there. Hella stumble outta my car, vision weaving in and out above the halo lights. Was this it? Where was I? I shouda waited it out. But I ain’t, I gotta go.

“hey,” I slur out whenever I get where I think I should go, two seconds from passing out as I lean against the car.

[attr="class","carvetext"]Shinjuku had so much to do later at night! From bands playing life music, to late night eats it was heaven for someone like Megumi! She spends most of her time trying new places and doing her best to forge connections using her services as collateral. When they didn't work their was always the trade route!

Tonight she had a craving for ice cream and luckily for her, there was a spot very close by where she was owed several favors by the old lady in charge. Megumi had managed to fix her lower back issues using her knowledge of the human body and her quirk to fuse the areas of trouble together. Free ice cream for life! Even if Megumi wasn't keen to abuse this privilege, she ventured to get some at least one day a week.

Sweet Potato Ice Cream in hand she was heading back to The Hoard and planned to just lounge around as Goose was on his walkabout for the next few hours. Something about honking at the jerks in the park? Either way, she fiddled with her keys when a car came to a short stop close to her. The sight of Chuck being disheveled wasn't too uncommon as he tried his best to be considerate of Zaza. Unfazed as usual, she took a bite of her ice cream as she gave him a once-over, and took a slow bite "Need ya head fixed, Chuckie?" she raised her height to the maximum now standing a full foot taller than Chuck and ate the rest of the ice cream in one bite.

Using herself to support him she would bring him inside and towards the operating room "Shouldn't ya be able to heal this yaself?" she would hum happily to herself as she laid him down on the table, putting something to collect the blood dripping from his open wound "Sooooo, how's Zaza~? I gotta do a checkup with her soon~!" she would ask in a fashion that completely disregarded the urgency of the situation as she used her quirk to slowly close each wound, siphoning off the extra blood to prevent more complications later.

✧ RIP ✧

I squint.

BLEUGH!! my body goes as hemorrhage overtakes my senses, dull, cold hand falling limp at my sides. Was it an enemy? Was it an angel? I half-stumble forward, what seems like a gun focusing into a cup of… ice cream? Light floods my sight. I was hella about to die but I couldn’t be more glad!!! ■■■■, n’ also, THANK ■■■■!! screamed so loud in my head I thought I might deafen myself. Yeah, I was hella outta it. But how else could I put it? The elation everytime she graced my sight, the overwhelming awe and fear all at the same time. My only flesh and blood. My cousin, mi cielo (I’m new to this, alright?! You ain’t gotta judge me!), Megumi.

“Y-yeah,” I start, stumbling backwards again when she does that hella awesome hella jealousy-inspiring expansion thing she does!! I was grinnin’ up at her, biting back my envy! Nearly falling backwards because I hella wasn’t stable enough to begin with to do that. Luckily, I’m in her arms which is also hella embarrassing for me. Here she was, scraping my ass off the pavement again. The familiar blur of the operating room flashes into sight, my eyes rapidly blinking. Finding her cerulean irides to get grounded in.

On the table, I cough, a strangled, ugly thing in contrast to her happy hum. Then I groan, doing my absolute best to not look like a weenie and failing whole-heartedly. “Y-yeah, if I holed up for a few days I’d be okay…” I keep stuttering, coughing out blood and wiping it off. You don’t go getting your cousin’s stuff dirty, okay?! “But I ain’t wanna do that. Not with Zāzā, the way she is right now, y’know, at home. Speaking of her,” I pause, seethe as the blood drips into her collection, “could ya keep this on the DL, cuz? I-I’ll give you anything to keep it quiet. Don’t wanna stress her.” A price atop whatever eccentricity would be the original price. It was like rolling a dice, your life and death on any two sides. Where the hell did she get that ruthless drive from, and why I ain’t get it in my blood?!

Then I wince under her quirk’s spell, a trance of pain and healing burning me up. “Z-Zāzā’s good!! H-hella knittin’ socks n’ shit, you should see her!” I roll over to her side, lifeless eyes taking her in. “How's it with you? How’s Goose? A-anyone givin’ you trouble?” I’d kick their ass, pronto!! Even in this state! No one said I gotta win!

[attr="class","carvetext"]Megumi is as unbothered as ever at the graphic display removing the bucket to collect his blood and replacing it with an empty one "Don't ya worry cousin! Stress ain't good for a preggo lady so I wouldn't tell her even if she asked." She would continue her treatment using her quirk to seal the open wound bit by bit as one would do with stitches. Fortunately, compared to the rest of her patients Chuckie had a pretty high pain tolerance, which made the procedure that much easier. Hell, even if he passed out in that moment it's not like it would change what she needed to do!

"Me~?" she hummed to herself as she finished mopping up the last of the blood and sealed the major head wound. Any internal bleeding would stop over time and with most of the blood being disposed of before the wound was sealed, he wouldn't die! "I'm good cuz! Goose is good actually, they've been out for a few days now. I think running around the park? There's an old guy, Mr. Sanada, who likes to go there and feed the ducks I think Goose likes whatever he's feeding them!" she would take the other bucket filled with blood and dispose of it down the sink. "No one's giving me trouble! I've had a few new faces coming around for treatment like this one guy who...I don't know his name actually but he's nice!" she would go into her desk and take out some meds to help Chuck deal with the pain and relax. "So, when are the babies due? And are you gonna name one after me hmmmmmmmm~?"

✧ RIP ✧

My vision’s swimming. I’d lost a helluva lotta blood before but goddamn! That ain’t make the swaying any less easier, lifeless eyes trying to hold onto objects I was seein’ if that made any sense. Flickering lights, falling through my chest, my chest through the floor to the other side of the earth. I’m washed. “Bet. T-thanks a bunch!” Hearing her words, her easy unbothered assurance, flitting through the waves of agony was full-send magic. There’s something hella badass ‘bout someone who ain’t get distressed over a sorry sight like me. More magic still was her quirk, white adhesive weaving me back together like it was child’s play. I held onto her words, squeezing my eyes shut as pain ripped me into two over n’ over again.

“I-is Goose gonna eat the ducks?” It’s a half-comprehensible question, scrambled brain catching “feed” and something ‘bout Goose liking things. I groan, turning my head over so I could watch her pour blood down the drain. “S-sorry about your floors, cuz. I’ll come n’ clean next time for you!! Hell, bring you food, w-whatever you like!” I hated owing anyone, especially when this was Megumi. My family fallen into my life, bestowed with the powers of the divine to fit her celestial status. No way I was gonna be a nuisance to her!! An eyebrow twitched, perked up. “Ain’t any guy out there who’s nice, cuz! They all want one thing!! H-he better mind himself ‘round you or I’ll kick his ass! What kinda things is he sayin’ to ya, huh?!” I would have brought one fist into an open knuckle then, but my muscles just ain’t budge. I breathed out, watching her move to her desk to get somethin’. Then I was grinnin’. “Summer. M-maaaaybe. You’re just gonna have to see!” A soft shade of sadness fell over my face. “How you feelin’ ‘bout becoming an auntie?” We had such a complicated relationship to this whole family thing, the concept of it after what we’d been through.

[attr="class","carvetext"]"Oh no no" she waved a hand dismissively as she set down the bucket that she'd sanitize later "Goose might be a menace to most people, but they're actually a good roommate once you learn how to speak to them!" taking off her gloves she'd move back over to Chuck placing a hand on his shoulder to keep him stable. She had fixed his physical injuries, but his body would still need time to adjust to the treatment. "Five minutes cousin! Then you can get up! In the meantime don't lay down even if you really, really want to." It was for his own benefit as the adhesive wasn't foolproof.

"I don't need to cleaning but I'll take the food! The guy who's been coming around a lot for treatment actually works at Bernie's Burgers, so if you're in the area and ask Bernie for a Megumi special, he'll give you what I like!" she didn't mind Antoine showing up as she loved to chat with people when she had the chance and even more than that she would get a meal out any treatment via her policy. "As for becoming an auntie, of course I'm excited! We're not exactly drowning in family nowadays so having you and Zaza plus these kiddos around will be a lot of fun!"
