PREVIEW.

"Was that a crash? Damn, that was loud."

"A building collapsed in the far east. Supers is in charge of that area."

"Supers? You there? Status report. What happened?"

“Shit! Shit! Shit! They’ve been hit with Kryptonite. Vitals are unstable! Someone get there now!”

 ༻⊰───⋅

Tim cried too, tears mingling with the grime on his face. “I’m sorry, I know, I know, baby. Please! Come on, we have to get up.”

⋅────⊱༺ ♰ ༻⊰────⋅

You were a super.

A near-indestructible hero with strength beyond measure. People watched in awe as you deflected bullets, halted runaway trains, and shattered barriers that would have left ordinary heroes in ruin.

To them, you were an immovable rock, impervious to life’s storms, a being untouched by doubt or weakness.

You had grown used to this. You were used to being seen as strong, so much so that you rarely had backup on missions. You were often sent out alone, expected to handle every crisis on your own. After all, you were a super. You fought solo, without regret, without asking for assistance. You believed you could bear it all.

But now, you found yourself beneath the skeletal remains of a collapsed building, the wreckage pressing down on you with a force that should have been a mere inconvenience. Dust and debris swirled around you in the dim light filtering through cracks in the rubble. The once-sturdy structure groaned and creaked as if protesting your struggle.

Normally, you would have lifted the wreckage effortlessly, but something was terribly wrong with your powers. Your hands, usually so strong, trembled as they strained against the concrete. You could feel the weight of each individual slab pressing down on you, pinning you to the ground.

Kryptonite, you thought, the realization hitting you with a force almost as crushing as the debris. The last memory you remember is being hit with a green glow.

Whimpering, you took a deep breath, strands of damp hair fell over your eyes, clinging to your sweat-soaked forehead. The burn in your side, a sharp and unfamiliar sting, pierced through the usual numbness. Your breathing came in ragged gasps, each inhale heavy with the smell of dust and despair. You had grown so accustomed to invincibility that pain felt like an unwelcome stranger. The once-mighty walls of your strength seemed to be crumbling, just like the debris around you.

There was a ringing in your ears, a harsh buzz that grew louder. You realized it was your communication link, crackling with urgency. You heaved, your head lolling to the side as you struggled to keep the building aloft. Every muscle screamed in protest, and the once-lightweight concrete now felt like it was made of lead.

"Supers? You there?"

Someone's voice echoed in your ear, Batman you think, steady and calm.

"Where are you? We need some backup here, stat."

You swallowed hard, feeling a lump in your throat. Your eyes drooped, the weight of your exhaustion pulling them down. "S… Sorry. I'm in a situation right now. I can't provide backup. Might actually need some..."

There was a pause, a brief silence that felt like an eternity.

"How serious is your situation? I don’t think anyone will be able to help you for a while. Think you can handle it?"

You could hear the detachment in his voice, the cold, clinical tone that expected you to push through just as you always had. There was no urgency, no hint of concern—just an unwavering belief that you would somehow manage.

Belief that a super could hold their own.

You blinked away the growing tears, shifting your position slightly to alleviate the burning in your side. The ringing in your ears had subsided, replaced by the dull roar of your own heartbeat.

"O—okay. I think I can hold on for a bit." Your voice was barely more than a whisper, the words forced out through gritted teeth.

The comm-link clicked off, the abrupt silence leaving you alone with the weight of the world pressing down on you.

You struggled as you lifted the building, feeling the bones in your wrists start to give way under the pressure. A sharp, searing pain shot through your arms as the bones cracked, the sickening sound lost in the groaning of the collapsing structure.

Your palms were now raw and bleeding, cut by the jagged edges of the debris. Warm blood trickled down your arms and you heaved, throat dry.

Tears mingled with the sweat on your face, blurring your vision. You blinked them away, focusing on the task at hand. You had to hold on. You had to keep fighting. The world above depended on it.

Slowly, agonizingly, you managed to lift the building a few inches. It was a minuscule shift, but it was enough to make a difference. The weight shifted slightly, and you could see a small gap forming. With a final, desperate effort, you managed to lift the wreckage high enough to create a gap wide enough for you to fly out.

As you emerged into the open air, you collapsed onto the ground, your breathing ragged and uneven.

For now, at least, you had held on.

"Was that a crash? Damn, that was loud."

"A building collapsed in the far east. Supers is in charge of that area."

"Supers? You there? Status report. What happened?"

“Shit! Shit! Shit! They’ve been hit with kryptonite. Vitals are unstable! Someone get there now!”

There was a cold, icy feeling sinking deep into Tim's bones as he heard the announcement through his earpiece. His heart pounded in his chest, each beat feeling slower and more labored than the last.

He quickly checked his location on his communicator. The display flickered with stark, cold reality—he was indeed the nearest to the scene, but still a grueling 15 minutes away. The distance seemed to stretch into an endless expanse, each second feeling like an eternity.

Without hesitation, he sprinted to his bike, his movements driven by sheer adrenaline. The cold, numbing fear was replaced by a burning urgency as he mounted the bike and roared to life. He maneuvered through traffic with reckless speed, weaving and cutting corners as if each second lost could mean a life.

As he drove, the cold, numbing fear slowly began to ebb away, melting into a fiery, scalding anger.

"Why the fuck weren't there reinforcements?!" he shouted into the earpiece, his voice laced with frustration and desperation. "Did no one think to check the fucking area? Is everyone just sitting around with their heads up their asses?!"

The bike roared beneath him, and his driving became even more reckless. Tim leaned into every turn, the engine's growl mingling with his furious breaths. He spotted a fence ahead, a barrier that seemed to mock his urgency.

Without a second thought, he gunned the throttle, launching the bike into the air. The bike soared, crashing through the fence with a deafening crack. Concrete and debris exploded around him as he slammed into the ground on the other side. The impact jarred his bones and rattled his teeth, but he barely registered the pain.

He tore through the final stretch of the city streets, his bike a blur of metal and fury. The wreckage came into view, a twisted maze of steel and concrete.

Tim skidded to a halt, his heart pounding furiously as he dismounted. He spotted you, hunched over right beside the collapsed rubble, your blood seeping into the grass.

Tim’s heart felt as though it was being torn in two as he saw the state you were in. His rage gave way to the deep, icy fear again as he rushed forward.

With trembling hands, he carefully rolled you onto your back, his gaze sweeping over your injuries.

Your face was ghostly pale, streaked with a grimy mix of dirt and blood. Each shallow, labored breath you took seemed to cut through the air with an echo of a sob. The severity of your injuries was laid bare—cuts and bruises marred your skin, each wound a painful testament to the violence you had endured. Blood pooled around you, a dark, crimson stain against the surrounding debris, making his stomach churn with a sickening nausea.

His eyes fell to your wrists, and he was horrified by the sight of them—clearly broken, twisted at unnatural angles.

He leaned down, his voice softening with a tender, almost broken affection.

“Hi, pretty bird,” he whispered. “I’m here. I’ve got you.”

“Kryptonite,” you rasp out, your voice barely more than a whisper.

“I know, I know,” he whispers back, his voice low and soothing. He reaches into his utility belt, pulling out a syringe with a green needle, filled with a bright, clear liquid. It was an antidote, a precaution he had hoped never to use.

Tim was always prepared for every situation, his mind a labyrinth of strategies and contingencies. One of the many things you loved about him. His meticulous nature meant that nothing was left to chance, and that care extended to you, his lover.

His hand was steady as he moved to insert the needle, but when you thrashed in pain, he realized too late that the entry had been rougher than he intended.

The sharp intake of breath you took, the wince that crossed your face—these were things he had rarely seen, and he realized just how fragile you were in this moment.

Tim had always relied on your metahuman durability, knowing that you could handle whatever force he threw your way, trusting in your strength without a second thought.

Then you screamed and cried, your sobs echoing through the night. The pain was unbearable, a relentless pressure squeezing you from every angle. Tim’s face crumpled in horror and panic, his usually calm demeanor cracking under the weight of your suffering.

He administered the antidote with trembling hands, his movements hurried yet tender. The needle was pulled away with a gentleness that belied his growing panic.

“I’m so sorry,” he choked out, moving to comfort you. “I didn’t mean for it to hurt. Please, just hold on. I’m right here.”

His hands were unsteady as he brushed the sweat and tears from your face, touch as gentle as he could manage despite his own mounting panic.

Tim was losing his grip. The sight of you, so vulnerable and hurting, was terrifying and so, so, so unfamiliar, driving him to a near hysterical state.

The antidote began to take effect, the green glow from the syringe slowly dissipating as it worked to counteract the kryptonite’s effects. But Tim’s relief was fleeting. The urgency of the situation pressed down on him, and he realized with a jolt that he needed to get you to a safer location.

“Come on, pretty bird, I need to get you up,” he said, his voice quivering with desperation.

Each attempt to lift you was met with new waves of agony, your screams slicing through the air like a jagged blade. Your cries were heart-wrenching, each one a brutal slash against his soul, unraveling him with every tortured note. The dark, red stains seeped into his heart, a reminder of how he was failing you.

Tim cried too, tears mingling with the grime on his face. “I’m sorry, I know, I know, baby. Please! Come on, we have to get up.”

With a desperate heave, he dragged you into his arms. You shuddered violently, your body wracked with ragged, sputtering sobs. Tim's heart squeezed with each gasping breath you took, and then, with a final, shuddering exhale, you fainted, your body going limp against him.

Panic surged through Tim like a tidal wave. His breath came in frantic bursts as he cradled you, trying to stay calm despite the overwhelming fear clawing at him. His hand fumbled for his comm device, his movements erratic and desperate.

He knew he had the skills—both medical and analytical—to assess your situation and manage it. His training had equipped him with the ability to stabilize injuries, evaluate critical conditions, and make quick decisions under pressure. But now, those skills felt useless against the crushing weight of his fear.

“Someone, please!” he screamed into the device, throat raw. "Help me!"

What is happened with legs?

 Flat feet are feet deformation, characterizing  a  thickening of her arch, is a most actual orthopaedic problem in paediatric, but she is having at 80 percent a children's. A lot of parents are sceptically referring are on the aches in legs, that think about he is all come up, and thus on this early sign for flat feet. In addition to the spine, hips aches, muscles for shin, hip, waist in flat feet a having fast tiredness legs, also is a not typical for children s age . In progressing this deformation,  an oedema for feet having. And on the far advanced cases flat feet is lengthening and widening in the front part, and in children changing gat. He is walking beginning with a width spreading legs and unfold feet, slightly bending legs and strenuous swinging hands, and in a result for which in a shoe faster shy inside side are soles and heels. 

Architecture for gaits.

A body weight a whole having on feet, that a walk a not turning in series for micro hits by vertebra, transferring for inside organs and cerebral brain, and feet are structured, that doing a function for natural aromatizes. And in norm we are leaning with every leg on a not an all her surface, just on the three points: heel bulge and head for first and fifth metatarsal bones, and they are having  closely   to the heel from a place , where is beginning big finger and small finger. Three vaults for feet as inside, external, transverse ,these are three springs, which doing a walk a very comfortable as on any age, If they are sag or initially forming wrong, as this is happening in children, and developing a transverse, longitudinal or mixed flat feet, combing are both these forms.

Endoscopic Discectomy is a minimally invasive spine interventional technique

Endoscopic Discectomy is a minimally invasive spine interventional technique that utilizes an endoscope to treat herniated disc, protruded disc or disc bulge, extruded, or degenerative discs that are a contributing factor to leg and back pain.

Since we don’t have to cut the muscles and bones to open the entire spine, spine endoscopy has shown to be a boon for patients with spine problems. With the advancement in technology using 3 Chip camera and 4K monitors, now we can see each and every structure inside with more clarity and thus can avoid injury to important structures. At IPSC, we have best of the equipment’s for your safety and efficacy of the procedure.

What is an Endoscopic Discectomy?

Endoscopic Discectomy is a minimally invasive spine surgery technique that utilizes an endoscope to treat herniated, protruded, extruded, or degenerative discs that are a contributing factor to leg and back pain. Spine endoscopy or Endoscopic discectomy is required for cases of slipped disc or disc bulge where your protruded disc is compressing the nerves.

What is sciatica? How my low back problem contributes to the pain in legs?

Our lower back has multiple bones called vertebrae and in between two vertebrae, there is a cushion called intervertebral disc. Around the disc, there are nerves which start from the spinal cord and goes down to the legs.

When the disc ruptures or bulges out, it compresses the nerve and your pain starts going down to your legs which is called radiculopathy or sciatica.

What is the cost of Endoscopic Discectomy in India and what are the pros and cons of undergoing this procedure for an athlete?

The cost of the procedure varies from Centre to centre. At specialized centre like IPSC India in New Delhi, it cost 1.5 Lac INR.

Advantages are: By selectively removing that bulging part, we relieve the nerve off the pressure. Patients are awake throughout the procedure and this adds safety to the procedure as we can detect any touching to the nerve while removing the disc.

What is the post operative success rate for TFED ( Transforaminal Endoscopic Discectomy)?

More than 70% of the patients usually don’t need any additional procedure. In some cases even after removing the disc, there may be some swelling on the nerves left which can be dealt with a minor procedure after 2 weeks. Although reherniation is  rare, but it is possible if we don't take proper precautions after endoscopic discectomy. IPSC protocol usually advise 4 weeks of lumbar support belt after the procedure, along with some restriction of activities like prolonged sitting, forward bending, and weight lifting.

Is it ok to do pull ups after a discectomy of L5-S1 Disc Herniation?

It takes 4-6 weeks for the disc to become normal. From the skin, you won’t feel anything but the inside tissue takes time to heal. Although, we encourage patients to start walking after 1-2 days of rest, but certain precautions like forward bending, lifting heavy weights, pushing heavy objects, sudden twisting movements, are must.

What is the purpose to perform endoscopic spine surgery ?

The purpose is to remove the pressure off the nerve which have compressed the nerves because of disc herniation and bulge. Prolonged compression of the nerve may lead to permanent loss of the functions of the nerve.

What are the signs of compressed nerve?

You may feel pain and paraesthesia, pins and needles. There may be loss of sensation in some part of the leg and at times, even weakness in the lower limbs.

How is decompression achieved in percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy surgery?

We make a small hole on the skin under local anaesthesia and infiltrate the entire track up to the disc with local anaesthesia. Patients are awake throughout the procedure and this adds safety to the procedure as we can detect any touching to the nerve while removing the disc.

Through this small hole we insert the spine endoscope which is fitted with camera. Through this camera we can see inside, on our screen. Once we reach the herniated material or the bulging part of the disc, we start removing it without disturbing the normal disc and other tissues.

Do we need any rods and screw fixation with Endoscopic spine procedure?

Since we don’t cut the bones and other important tissues of the spine  to reach the bulging part of the disc, no rods and screw and fixation is required after endoscopic discectomy.

Is this procedure 100% safe?

No Interventional procedures are 100% safe. Though the chances of complications are rare but the chances of infection, bleeding and nerve trauma are there. All these complications can be managed, if they do happen. As compared to open surgery, endoscopic spine procedure is much safer for slipped disc and sciatica.

#ONLY MOVABLE BONE IN THE SKULL FREE#

If you need any assistance or have a question about Bones of The Head and Neck Functioning and Location, you can consult our HearingSol experts with your problem, feel free to call us on +91-9899437202. Without it, we would never imagine how hard our lives can be. On the other hand, the head bones are crucial too as they provide us facility of expressions. The bones that make up the neck are responsible for support and structure along with the protection of the spinal cord as it exits the skull. The neck is quite a complex structure with seven cervical bones, it has a great ability for flexion, extension, and rotation. The injuries may occur through repetitive use, or through immediate injuries, such as when playing sports and doing other activities. However, the muscles of the neck can also be easily strained or injured. With the weight that must be supported, these muscles are strong. The muscles of the neck provide the mechanism for swallowing, yawning, speaking, and moving the head. It helps in holding the arms freely, supported, and away from the trunk.

Clavicle – It is also known as collarbone that is a long, thick bone located at the base of the neck.

It is located below the 6th cervical vertebrae and superior to the first thoracic vertebra.

#ONLY MOVABLE BONE IN THE SKULL SKIN#

It has a large spinous process to protrudes posteriorly towards the skin at the back of the neck. C7 (7Th Cervical Vertebra)Ĭ7 is the biggest and most inferior vertebrae in the neck. It also helps in the anchoring of muscles that help in moving and supporting the neck. It is located in the base of the neck between the C5 and C7 that plays a crucial role to support and protect the structures of the head and neck. It is smaller and more flexible vertebrae that help in protecting and supporting the spinal column while allowing smooth movement of the backbone. It helps in allowing smooth articulation of the spine that is cushioned by intervertebral discs. (B) The lower jaw bone of the skull is the only movable. It is 4th and the smallest from all of the 7 cervical vertebrae. Shoulder and hip joints are the examples of ball and socket joint. It consists of two parts that are a vertebral arch that protects the spinal cord and the ventral body which provides strength, protection, and mobility to the spinal column. It is located just below the Axis that is 2nd cervical vertebra within the neck. It helps the head to rotate from its support atop the C1 vertebrae where the skull attaches to the neck. It is the second uppermost vertebrae making up the backbone. It is situated at the top of the neck, inferior to the condyles of the occipital bone, and superior to the C2 vertebra. It is the most superior vertebra in the spinal column which plays an important role in supporting the skull, spinal cord, and vertebral arteries and also provides attachments points for several muscles of the neck. The skull encases and protects the brain as well as the special sense organs of vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell. The cranial is the cranium that encloses the brain and acts as a protective case for the brain. Our skull is basically comprised of 22 different bones, which are further divided into two categories, namely: The upper portions of the digestive and respiratory tracts are also housed within the hollow oral and nasal cavities of the skull. In elbow, it allows to bend and straighten, i.e., up and down movement.Attachment points for the muscles of the head and neck are located on the exterior surfaces of the skull that allow vital movements like chewing, speech, and facial expressions. (C) Our elbow cannot move backwards because elbow has hinge joint and this joint allows movement in one direction only, similar to the hinges of a door. (B) The lower jaw bone of the skull is the only movable bone. Shoulder and hip joints are the examples of ball and socket joint. (A) In ball and socket joint, a ball like structure of the one bone fits into a socket like structure of other bone. (C) Why can our elbow not move backwards? (B) Which of the skull bones are movable? Has an outer skeleton, can fly in the air Have fins on the body, have a streamlined body Match the items in column I with one or more items of column II.

I Don't Cuddle Pt. 2 - Bakugo

(Note: I am taking requests for MHA/BNHA imagines, headcanons, etc. I have a request post pinned on my blog you can turn to for the rules and guidelines. Thank you!)

+3453 words

+Training at the USJ was awkward to say the least. You avoiding Bkaugo and his friends at all cost. During training, things seemed to be going fine but it was a little quiet. Once your team finishes, a panicked Kaminari runs up saying there was an accident and Bakugo was hurt. After everything was said and done, Bakugo wakes up in Recovery Girl’s office with you by his side.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

3rd POV

You are a relatively decent student when it came to behavior so you didn’t always piss off Aizawa. You as well are normally very confident in yourself, so your melancholy behavior has not slipped past him. You had gotten calmed down before making it the USJ but there was still tear tracks on her face. That confirmed Aizawa’s suspicion that something had happened.

His eyes travelled next to the angry blonde that was abnormally not angry and calm. Aizawa noticed the look of pain and regret in Bakugo’s eyes. It normally would be impossible to see but to his trained eye it was clear. He knew about the two being together but kept to himself. By the way they were acting, something had happened between the two.

Y/N’s POV

I rubbed my face and tried to remove any trace that I was crying. I steadied my breathing as we walked in. I needed to focus on training right now, not the pain. Aizawa instructed us on what we were going. Recon and ambush training. When he split the class into groups, I saw him look between me and Kat as he said our groups.

“At least, you’re not paired with him like normal.” Jiro said. I nodded. I felt an arm go around my shoulders. I looked over and saw Sero. He just gave me a sad smile, not saying anything. He hugged me before letting go.

Training went as normal as training with Class 1-A can be. Midoriya going all out, a few others following after him, and the rest of us along for the ride. One thing I did notice that wasn’t normal was I didn’t hear explosions or yelling. I shook it off.

“That was awesome.” Midoriya cheered. I couldn’t tell if it was from the thrill or the fact that he didn’t break any of his bones. I chuckled at him and I felt a litter better but I was still hurt. We got up to the Central Plaza when Kaminari came bolting towards us.

“Woah, where’s the fire?” Midoriya asked before blanching. He looked at Todorki and apologized. Todoroki just shrugged. We laughed at the exchange.

“It’s Bakugo.” My head whipped in his direction. “He’s hurt and trapped. We need help, Kiri can’t hold out much longer.”

“Where?” Aizawa showed up quick.

“Ruins zone.” Kami said. We all ran, following Kami. We came up to large pile of rubble that had an opening off to one side. “In there. Bakugo is unconscious and Kiri, Tokoyami, and Ojiro are trying to get him out.”

“Okay. Kaminari, you’ve done enough. Go off to the side. Uraraka, L/N, and Shoji we me inside. Everyone else be on stand-by. The rest of this could go at any moment.” Aizawa instructed. He ran towards the opening with the other two followed. I stalled a little before going in behind them. It was a mess in there.

“Come on, over here!” I heard Kiri yell. I stumbled over and froze when I saw Bakugo face down, unconscious and caught under a large piece of rubble. I could see blood from where I stood. I urged myself to move forward.

“Uraraka. Get the pressure of Kirishima. Once he’s out of the way, I want you to make a pillar to hold up the rubble, L/N.” I nodded. We ran over to Kiri and I gave Uraraka step to get up and hit the rock. Kiri groaned as soon as the weight was lifted.

“Hurry, I can’t hold it long at all.” Uraraka clenched her teeth. I nodded and pulled Kiri out of the way. I immediately moved and moved the earth underneath to make a pillar. “Release!”

“Kiri, go out with Kami. He’s out with the rest.”

“But I have to help with…”

“No. You’ve done enough Kiri.” I said and set a hand on his shoulder. “You kept him alive until we got here. Go on.” He sighed looking between me and Bakugo.

“Are you going to be alright?” I took a breath and held it. I just pushed him along before joining Aizawa.

“Can you tell how much rubble is behind this?” Aizawa looked at me. I reached out and hit the rubble, sending a vibration through the rock and concrete. There were a couple rather large pieces behind and above.

“There’s a few big pieces behind and a mixture above and around. One wrong move and other portions could collapse in. I could stop a lot but not everything. I’m not strong enough in my Earth bending part yet.” He nodded in understanding. A rumble caught all of our attentions. “And it is nowhere near stable. The best bet if digging underneath him. Just enough to get him out but not cause a collapse.”

“Shoji. Start getting away as much loose debris around here as you can. Uraraka go out and get Momo in here.” They followed immediately. “L/N, I want you to focus on the rubble keep as much of it up and from falling on us.”

“Right.” I went to stand as Aizawa moved off but I caught sight of Bakugo. I reached down and brushed his spikey, soft hair back and removed his torn mask. Even with all the dust and the little blood on his face, I saw tear tracks. I ran a thumb across his face, wiping away some of the grime. He was hurting as much as I was.

“L/N.” I heard Aizawa said softly. I looked up at him startled. He had his our version of a comforting look on his face. “We’ll get him out and he’ll be alright but we need to move now.”

“Right.” I stumbled up and stood off to the side. I closed my eyes and took a big breath to clear my mind. I got into ready position. I saw Momo had created some shovels and while Uraraka had Bakugo levitating, they dug under him.

“Be careful now.” Aizawa said as they got close. Shoji stood off to the side, ready to pick up Bakugo. Suddenly, another rumble sounded and the entrance was blocked off. “Shit. Hurry. L/N, now.”

“Okay.” I shifted the rock that was pining him and they got him out. The whole structure moved when I place the rock on the ground. The little space shifted the entire thing.

“Come on, this place is about to go.” Shoji picked up Bakugo, Momo, and Uraraka. I ran ahead and checked for a thin spot in the rubble.

“Jiro, if you can hear me, get everyone back.” I said out loud as I found. “Be ready to move.” I turned and gave a swift and hard side kick to the rubble. It burst out and at the same time I shift and make the opening stable enough for all of us to get through. I was the last one out and let the rubble go. Loud crashing sounded behind me.

“Thank god!”

“Are you guys alright?”

“How’s Kacchan?”

“That was insane.” Mutiple people came running over concerned and ready to help. I was bent over, hands on my knees and trying to catch my breath. I felt my legs give out but an arm around my waist caught me. I looked up and saw Sero. I gave him a nod in thanks and he smiled in return. He helped me walk over to Aizawa and Bakugo.

“Bakugo is alright but he will be better when we get him back to recovery girl. Come on. Everyone back to the bus.” Aizawa picked up Bakugo before looking back at me. “Are you alright?”

“Fine. Just worn out.” I said. He nodded before looking at someone behind me. I closed my eyes before I felt myself being picked up bridal style. I yelped before opening my eyes to see Todoroki carring me. I looked over his shoulder to see Sero had moved to help Kaminari with Kirishima. “Thanks, Todoroki.”

“It’s fine.” He gave me a small smile.

~Time Skip-3rd POV~

The lights in Recovery Girl’s office were dimmed. Hours had passed since the class had returned and it was now early evening. Bakugo had been checked over and was given a good report. Just banged up and bruised. Nothing the boy couldn’t bounce back from. The rest of the day the class had been given off with the only requirement of the students who hadn’t been involved in the rescue to write a report on their view and how they felt the situation was handle; correctly or something they would have done differently.

It was nearing 7pm when Bakugo began to rouse from his unconscious state. He groaned quietly as he opened his eyes. Since the lights were dimmed and the sun had set, his didn’t have much to adjust too. He looked around trying to place where he was.

“Shit.” He groaned, throwing his head back against the bed as pain shot up from his right leg. He moved the blanket slowly and saw the bandages. He let the blanket drop before staring at the ceiling. A soft coo caught his attention. He looked to his left and saw L/N curled up in a ball on a chair that was pushed up against the bed.

“Mmm.” She squirmed in her sleep. She had her hand up and it was originally on top of Bakugo’s but had fallen off in her sleep. Bakugo was surprised to see her there. He reached up with his left hand and ran it through her hair.

“L/N.” He gently called, trying to wake her. She stirred only a little. He smiled at the girl’s cuteness before trying again. “L/N. Hey baby come on, wake up for me please.”

“Huh?” She moaned softly before looking up and looking at him. It took a few seconds to realize he was awake. “Baku!” She shot up and stood over the edge of the bed. She cupped his face, looking him over. “How are you feeling? Is there any pain? I am going to go get Recovery Girl.”

“Wait, wait.” He said, barely catching her arm as she went to run. He groaned at the pull of his sore muscles. She froze before moving to sit next to him and wrapping his hand in hers. “What happened?”

“You don’t remember?”

“No. I remember getting to the USJ but not much else.”

~Y/N’s POV~

“Oh.” I stared at him in shock for a moment. “Um, you, Kiri, Kami, and a few other were in the Ruin Zone. Something caused one of the buildings to collapse right on top of you guys. You got knocked out and Kiri was holding up the rubble the best he could. Kaminari came and got the rest of the class and Aizawa. You were pinned beneath rubble so we had to rescue you. Aizawa, Momo, Uraraka, Shoji, and myself.”

“Shit.” He ran his hand through his hair before placing it on the back of his head. “That explains the pain. Now that you say that, the before is coming back to me. I was distracted and I guess it bit me in the ass.” He sighed and I gripped his hand tighter. “Why are you here?”

“Oh, um. I-I…” I gulped looked away. I pulled my hand from his, feeling tears coming on again. I got up. “I’ll go get Recovery Girl.” I went to walk away.

“Wait, no!” He yelled in desperation. I looked at him surprised. I saw panic, pain, and sorrow on his face. He looked close to having a panic attack. “Please, that’s not what I meant.”

“Then what did you mean?” I whispered. I cross my hands over my stomach.

“I meant that why are you here when I treated you so badly. I treated you like shit and you were avoiding me. Why are you here now?” He looked away embarrassed. I let my arms fall and sat on the edge of the bed. It was silent for a minute.

“I am here because I was so freaking scared. When Kami came running saying you were hurt, I felt like my heart stopped. I was already worried because I hadn’t heard any explosions and when we got to where you were and I saw your unconscious…bloody body, I froze. I was so scared that you were dead or dying. Just because we had a stupid dispute doesn’t mean I don’t care for my own boyfriend anymore. I rather be here making sure you’re okay then knowing you’re here hurt and alone and avoiding you.”

“Baby.” His voice shook. I could feel the tears running down my face. I looked at him and saw he was crying too. He reached his hand out. “Please come here.”

“Mmph.” A noise ripped from my chest as he pulled me into his chest. I was draped across him while he buried his head in my neck. He sobbed. I was surprised but held onto him, running my hand through his hair until he calmed down.

“I am so sorry.” He said. He pulled back and sat up straight. I reached for couple tissues. He took them and cleaned himself up. After throwing them away he place his hand on my bicep. “I shouldn’t have reacted that way and I never should have pushed you that way and yelled that way. You’re so fucking amazing and I did that.”

“Bakugo.”

“I should have just something more subtle but no I had to launch you across the room. Damn.” I felt his grip on my arm tighten.

“Bakugo.”

“I would even blame you if you wanted to break up with me. I wouldn’t even try and stop you no matter how much it would break my heart. I…”

“Bakugo! Enough.” I yelled and cupped his face. His eyes opened wide. I sighed when I had his attention. “Would I have stayed here for this long if I wanted to break up with you? I may be hurt by your actions but I have no plans to break up with you. Seeing you like that made me realize that I would rather have disputes and fights like that instead of never being able to hold your hand, kiss you, or…cuddle with you ever again.”

“Y/N…” He bit his lip and gave me a watery chuckled. He looked to the ceiling trying not to cry again while grabbing onto my wrists. I smiled. “I can’t believe…Please tell me I’m not dreaming or in a coma making up a new reality because I screwed up the real one.”

“You’re not doing any of that. I’m right here.” I said leaning back. He looked at me, rubbing the tears from his face. I saw a familiar smirk grow onto his face.

“Come here.” He pulled me in and twisted us around where we were cuddling, facing each other. I yelped and laughed out loud before nuzzling into his neck. He pulled me in close and wrapped his arm around my waist.

“What happens if someone walks in?”

“Let ‘em see. I don’t have to explain one single thing to those extras.” He growled, burying his face in my hair. I felt and heard him breathe in deep. I sighed cuddling him in closer.

“Well what was it you said? Actions speak louder than words?” I said. I felt his chest rumble with laughter.

“Yeah. Exactly.” He whispered. I gathered he was growing tired again. I moved my hand up and started rubbing circles in the middle of his back. I felt him relax in my arms before I heard snores in my ear. I smiled and reached into my back pocket for my phone. I unlocked it and pulled up my conversation Jiro.

I put the phone back in my pockets before looking up at Bakugo. He had such a soft look on his face that if I didn’t know him the way I do, I wouldn’t think it was him. I reached up and ran my fingers through his hair, absentmindedly twisting a few locks. He made a small noise before burrowing his head further into my hair.

“Softie.” I whispered before setting my arm down comfortably and closing my eyes.

Just as I was about to drift off, the door opened. I looked over my shoulder to see Aizawa and Recovery Girl. She smiled warmly as she went over to her desk. Aizawa came over with his arms crossed.

“Get some sleep yourself. You’ve had a long day too.” He said softly. My eyes widen, thinking he was going to make me get up. “I know better than to try and break up you too up right now. You guys have had a rough time lately from what I heard from the girls, Sero and Kirishima. Even before the accident.”

“You knew we were together, didn’t you?” He smirked softly and nodded.

“I had a feeling but a comment from Mic a while back just solidified it.”

“Shut up.” A groan came from Bakugo. He shifted onto his back and pulled me into his side.

“Goodnight you two.” Aizawa chuckled before closing the curtain around us. I heard him go and talk to Recovery Girl. I shifted to be more comfortable and set my head on his chest. It wasn’t long before I was out.

“Hey dumbass.” I heard a faint voice. “Wake up.”

“Why?” I groaned, burying my head and curling up. A gravely chuckle made me look up. I saw Bakugo smiling down at me. “What time is it?”

“About…” He looked up at the clock, squinting. “8:05.”

“Hmm.” I set my head back down. I felt his hand weave into my hair before massaging my scalp. I crooned before blushing and covering my mouth. He laughed before setting up. I laid back against the bed. He moved to lean over me.

“We’re alright, right?” He asked meekly, hope in his eyes. I smiled softly, reaching up to cup his face. I nodded before gently pulling him down. We kissed each other sweetly before it turned warmer and possessive on Bakugo’s part.

“Damn, if that doesn’t wake me up, I don’t know what will.” I said. He smirked above me before shifting down and laying down with his head on my chest. My hands immediately found their way onto his bicep and hair. He hummed in delight. A thought came to mind in the silence. “You called me by my name.”

“Huh?” He looked up at me, confused.

“Last night. You called me by my first name.” He blushed before returning his head to my chest.

“Yeah? What of it? I can keep calling you dumbass if you like but I figured you’d want me to call you by your name. But whatever.” I kept my chuckle to myself, knowing he was embarrassed.

“It’s fine, Katsuki.” I felt him tense before relaxing again. I kissed his head. We were just enjoying the moment until a certain yellow-haired energy ball came yelling.

“Bakubro!!” He ripped open the curtain causing me to jump in fright. Bakugo didn’t move but sighed in annoyance.

“Kaminari!!” Jiro came after chiding him but they both froze when they saw us. Kiri came up behind them and looked up from his phone, undeterred by the situation.

“We hoped you were awake. We brought breakfast.”

“Oh yeah?” Katsuki pushed up and sat next to me, throwing his arm over my shoulder. “Hope it’s not terrible because you’re a shit cook.”

“Hey!” They went on arguing and I shared a look with Jiro. She shook her head in exasperation and sat in a chair next to the bed. Things were back to normal. I saw Midoriya sneak in behind Kami and freeze just like him.

“Wait a minute!” Kamari yelled. We all looked at the two as they shared a look.

“Kacchan and L/N are dating?” They said at the same time. All of us burst out laughing at the same time. Well, how about a new normal.

“Yeah guys they are but don’t feel too bad. We only found out yesterday and this morning.” Kiri said giving a side eye to Kat. He returned with a normal sneer.

“What Shitty hair? Got a problem with that?” He then smirked. “Jealous or something?”

“No problem! Not at all.”

“Are you feeling alright Kacchan? That was a pretty nasty accident.” Midoriya asked.

“I’m fine, Deku! Nothing I can’t come back from.” Midoriya nodded and we all fell into conversation. After a bit and we ate our food, I felt Kat lean against me more. He leant his head against mine and nosed my hair. I smiled, nuzzling back.

“So you do cuddle.” I whispered. He growled halfheartedly before pulling me closer.

“Shut up.”

some cute morning sexy time with legoshi

at the first hint of sunlight, legoshi finds himself stirring. he never understood the newest trend of his body's desire to rouse earlier in the day. during his tenure at cherryton, he used to have a hard time motivating himself to traverse through enough mundane takes just to make it to his drama duties. now without that fixture in his life, he can recall a specific reason as to why he feels so inclined to wake before the sun properly can. 

cracking open his eyes, he notes that the room hasn’t completely lost its dim glow. splashes of calm blue still overcoming the encroaching warmth of yellows. huffing under his breath, he turns to bury his nose against the fur of your neck, hoping to drift back off for a few more hours. 

yet he finds the soft sighs that leave your lips with each exhale more distracting than the sun at his back. unable to resist peeking at the peaceful visage of your comfortable slumber. you fortunately, have no trouble missing the transition from night to day. the rhythm of your chest rising and falling not even hitching in the slightest until mid morning if you could help it. his borrowed shirt is still wrinkled from whatever restless bout that had overtaken you in the hours prior, the aftermath exposing the softness of your vulnerable belly. 

it surprises him how much effort it takes to resist disrupting the flow of hair there, knowing your sensitivity would react to the ticklish touch. a faint smile curls at the ends of his lips as he dares to drag a claw to a safer spot just above the curve of your hip. 

despite it being the first night together after a few days of separation, the two of you hadn’t fallen in bed together with the motivations of passion. he honestly couldn’t recall anything other than the warmth of you settling into the curve of his body and drifting off to the quiet rumble of your heartbeat. 

closing his eyes, he can’t help but imagine how it could have gone differently had the two of you had more energy to reserve. there had certainly been enough talk about it traded in the darkest hours of the night when it was impossible to resist the deepest thralls of imagination. the scenarios were plentiful and bookmarked with promises that he knew would be made good on. 

he comes to terms with his mistake too late as he finds his arousal trapped between the honey taste og you on his tongue and tightness of your aperture squeezing at his sex. his cock had already joined him this morning at half mast and was well on its way to fullness with each dip into the lucid fantasy. with a huff of his own he snuffless against the tuft of your ears. only to freeze at his flounder when it flickers in protest. 

“hmm, legoshi?”

his ears flatten in apology and he licks a firm stripe against the exposure of your neck as you roll over to face him. your eyes are still blurry and unfocused, teetering between consciousness as your body goes taut in a reflexive stretch. 

“wah time is it?” you slur and despite his faults, legoshi can’t help but chuckle at the cuteness. 

“early. sorry, didn’t mean to wake you.” he shifts gingerly, giving you more room to tuck into him. he completely forgets about kindling fire until the breach of your leg between his nudges against the tent. caught, he sheepishly tries to draw away.

“i ah- wasn’t being a pervert. just woke up like this.”

“so you aren’t happy to see me?”

the joke is fluid transition for you as more clarity filters into your voice. you have to press your lips together in a thin line to keep from laughing at the way he balks. in his lapse, you drag your hand through the covers to the sprawl of his fingers to thread them together. using the grip as an anchor, you fill the gap he tried to place with an eager roll of your hips, hoping to get your consent across without too much skepticism. 

unable to resist, your lover drops his head to the curve of your shoulder to hide his groan- or was that a moan? the task of trying to decipher the muffled words is lost to the distraction of the trail of open-mouthed kisses back up the length of your neck to the structure of your jaw. he ends with a chaste peck to the corner of your lips.

“i’m always happy to see you, i just didn’t want you to-y’know assume anything.’’

when he’s this relaxed and pliant to your will, it doesn’t take much to encourage the wolf to move to his back as you crawl over him. most of your weight is on his thighs, purposefully directed away from where he craves it the most. 

“what? that you want me? did you think i forgot about all the pretty scenarios you put in my head?”

‘pretty’ what the impression he had in mind when he’d conjured them up. but your receptiveness was more important at the time. none of it having any place in his swarm of thoughts as he watched your fingers walk over the flat of his stomach down to the hem of his pants. it's a relief when you don’t utilize the opportunity to tease and he’s more than eager to lift his hips to help you draw the fabric down to his thighs. 

the sight of him standing tall is less embarrassing when it’s under the hungry heat of your gaze. in one of those stories, you had woken him up with the circle of your lips catching on the ridge at the head of his cock. but he wasn’t picky when you hand wrapped around the base of him. 

there's a throaty sound to his voice as his legs flex underneath you. “i had a lot of time to think about you.”

truly. every waking moment and opportunity was a welcomed one to tune out the roar of your absence. 

“ah shit.” with a grueling amount of effort, he was able to pry away your hand, silencing your complaint with a chaste kiss to your lips. “we can run down the list later. just let me have you like this first.”

curling his finger into his palm, he uses the bend of his second knuckle to draw your garments to the side and rub small circles against your apex. no matter how short he cuts his nails, he can’t dull them enough to angle them too deep. relying more on your wetness to ease the way. it’s the burden of a carnivore lover- or perhaps just the trials of being with him, but he does hit best to make up for what he feels are his thoughts.

legoshi is mindful of his teeth as he draws you into the first proper kiss of the day, tongue flickering out to tease the warmth of your orifice. the combination of the heat and taste of him help to kindle your fire as you rub needfully into the pressure of his digits. the absence of his touch evoking a a heightened sense of fondness that you grapple on to firmly. your vision goes hazy, different than the thick cloud of sleep as he hangs by a thread within the smog of the combined lust. 

his hands skim the curve of your waist, latching just above your hip bone to draw you close for his favorite parts. he eagerly swallows your soft exhale as he nudges the head between your folds, intoxicated by the stretch of your cunt. it's an archaic sense of relief that draws all tension from his muscles as he slides his cock further to the hilt. 

the passion of lovers is a tender moment, but the desperate unbridled needs for raw fucking crashes through the setting, shattering your resolve like glass. coaxed by your whimpered assent, he doubts a raw pace as he fucks into you fervently. the friction of and slick slide of overheated bodies muddling slurred speech and broken ‘i love yous’. 

the force of his snapping hips is more than enough to shake the frame of the bed, a full unleash of the beast that inherits every fiber of his being. the sun is more prompting now, bleeding through the blinds to light the place where he enters you. 

it’s too fast to promise anything too long, a blessing as you find yourself straddling the edge of your completion already. there’s a halting moment where his rhythm goes inconsistent as he resists the grip on your hips to encourage you to adopt his pace. it's a sloppy rendition and most of your efforts are focused on the down shift as you grind into his lap. 

when you meet him at the climax you both seem to cling to each other before toppling over the edge. the whirlwind of the descent of your capitulation drawing a shudder from your head to your toes. you melt into his chest, heart thumping at sporadic staccato against the answering beat of his. 

the harsh mixture of your pants doesn't seem like they will ever find an evening pace as it only seems to feed into the humidity of the room. legoshi’s muzzle nuzzles the side of your head as he settles into bone-deep satisfaction, the heavy aftertaste of sexual gratification filling the void of speech. 

sort of.

“so are we starting at the top of the list or the bottom?”

Remus x Reader- Safe and Sound

 I love your work! Its so good. So so good. Could I request a adult remus x reader where he saves her life? Then maybe they have to hide somewhere together while they're being 'hunted' and they're both super scared and tryna calm each other down?

A/N: You’re so so good! <3 Thank you for sending this in, as I am a Remus Slut. Probably got carried away tbh

You had been trying to gather intel and dirt on some death eaters you were hoping to reveal to the public, ultimately sending them to Azkaban for all their days but you had ignored Remus’ advice to be patient, wanting to damn them then and there. 

“We can do it!” You had promised, going in wand at the ready and no plan in your head. Remus had been stunned but the fear of you facing them alone had ultimately pulled him from his hiding spot. Unfortunately, you were more overpowered than you had realized. He was proud to see that you had successfully dropped a few but you were already breaking a sweat, eyes darting over the death eaters that just seemed to keep coming.

You weren’t as quick on your toes as Remus hoped and his eyes grew wide with panic when he realized you weren’t watching your back. That’s my job. He reminded himself as he darted to your said, hands out in front of him as he called out your name, your head whipping around to look at the man you trusted more than anything. You were frightened something had happened to him but he looked worried about you. You were about to ask what but you were cut off by the impact of Remus shoving you as a death eater shot off a spell from behind you, cloaked in the shadows. 

From your stunned place on the ground you gasped in fear as Remus doubled over, not quick enough to save you and himself from the spell. You felt some small relief as he took a few bumbling steps, eyes shut tight for a moment against the pain. He was hurting, that much was clear, but he was alilve and that was something. You finally realized that if you wanted to stay alive you ought to get out of there, no matter if the death eaters were free another day. 

You had reeled in your ego after seeing Remus bend in half, a pained grunt ripping from him as he took the spell meant for you. Finally thinking straight again, you had held onto the man who hadn’t even thought twice about saving your life and disapparated. 

With a snap in the air and a twist of you stomach you were free from the chaos of the fight and deposited in a busy town that was sleeping for the night. Your chest was heaving as you took in your surroundings, Remus’ hand in yours as you helped him into an alley that would (hopefully) hide you so long as you stayed silent. 

The treading of a group could be heard somewhere to your left and when you peered out of the darkness you found four death eaters who had apparated after you, lit momentarily by a street lamp. You could hear them talking in low voices but the wild beat of your heart was drowning it out.

You, and you alone, had already made some foolish mistakes tonight and you couldn’t afford to make anymore- the few death eaters you had been able to hex surely wasn’t worth seeing Remus in pain. He was slumped against the stone, breath coming out in labored gasps and cold sweat trickling from his forehead. 

Once the devout followers of the Dark Lord had vanished from your sight as well as outside your range of hearing, you returned to Remus and spoke in low tones. “What can I do?” 

“Listen to me for once?” He offered through gritted teeth, his suggestion coming out as a snarl as he lowered himself to the filthy cobblestone beneath him. You followed and found your hands were shaking nearly as bad as his. You could tell Remus was frightened. His eyes were wild, searching yours and wondering if he would be okay. 

The werewolf had always been good at hiding fear, for as long as you had known him. Fear of dying when Greyback had attacked him as a young boy. Fear of being found out when he had survived but with a far worse fate at hand. Fear of giving in to the monster that lay doormant until the full moon rose high in the night sky. You had only seen his facade crack on few occasions and you were sick knowing you had caused him fear. 

“I know you’re going to be alright,” You promised instead of answering his question.

Remus quieted after that for a moment but you could see him nodding slowly. He tried to steady his thoughts but he found it was hard with the pain in his abdomen that burned like fire and tore like jagged knives.”St. Mungos” He finally grumbled, hand searching for yours and squeezing for the strength that had abandoned him. “Get me there,” 

It was the last three words he said before he could say no more. He had lost consciousness and was slumped forward. Your stomach churned and you had to look straight ahead for a moment to steel your resolve. You could get Remus to safety. This wasn’t a big deal, he had been through worse. 

You bit your lip hard enough to draw blood and it helped the fearful part of you dissolve away for the determined part of you. You wouldn’t let Remus suffer here, you wouldn’t let your mistakes turn into his death. You knew you could get him to St. Mungos where Healers- far more capable than you in healing spells and medicines- could save him. 

Remus was dead weight as you slung his arm over your shoulder, making sure he was secure against you as you found ways to make his weight more bearable on your sore frame. You hadn’t had an easy night either it seemed as your limbs screamed at you in agitation. 

You dragged him from the alley, his head lolling side to side uncontrollably as he refused to rouse from his deep slumber. “It’ll be alright Rem, you’ll be alright,” You promised him even if he couldn’t hear you. Maybe you were comforting yourself, but you needed it to keep a cool head.

Remus moaned softly in the dark of the night as you hobbled with him attached to your side. His lanky legs dragged against the stone and you were losing your strength. Remus was lithe yet muscular and he had weight to him. It didn’t help that he was unable to support his own weight. You helped him into another alleyway, most likely not even a quarter of a mile between you and the one you had first hidden in. You just needed to lean against the sturdy stone and catch your breath. 

The moon was shining on you from above, reminding you of how Remus would be changing soon. It was going to be a miserable few days for him. He wouldn’t get the chance to recover from tonight before his body would be ripped apart from the wolf inside. You had seen it once. Sirius, James and Peter had always gone with him and watched after him on those full mooned nights and you had become curious. 

You remembered it as if it was yesterday and not years ago. His bones had cracked with every spasm of his body, reshaping and growing to fit a more extreme size. You shivered when you had heard his muscle tear and shred to accommodate his new structure. With shame, you had looked away. Your closed eyes hadn’t stopped you from hearing the pained screams that morphed into a forlorn howl. 

You hadn’t been able to face Remus for a week after that, you’d been plagued by nightmares of him in pain and you unable to do anything. He meant so much to you and you had turned away from him in his worst time. You wouldn’t do that again. 

His breathing was even for the most part as he drifted in and out of semi-consciousness. Every so often he shuddered, letting out a soft and pained groan. You weren’t going to fail him this time, you told yourself. You weren’t going to turn away. You were going to get him to safety. 

That thought propelled you forward once more and finally St. Mungos was standing sturdy and dependable in front of your eyes like a shining beacon. You had no way of knowing how long you had walked with Remus but as the healers took him off your hands you sank down to the ground, legs quivering. Only then were you able to let yourself cry, letting out all the frustration and guilt you had been holding onto. 

--

Remus woke as something heavy fell atop his midsection. Squinting at the sunlight that threatened to blind him, he cracked an eye open and found you with your cheek squashed against the wrinkled bed sheets that covered him. In your sleep it seemed you had tossed your arm over him. It made him smile as he took in your features that were lit by that same sun that had bothered him moments before. 

Dark circles were evident under your eyes and you mumbled nonsense as you slept on. Remus was well aware of why he was in St. Mungos, even still he felt like he had been rammed in the gut with a car, but he was more confused as to how you had managed to get him here. He remembered sitting with you in the alley before he knew no more. 

There were bits and pieces that pulled at the back of his brain, like your soft voice breaking through to promise he was alright. It had soothed him even in his miserable state. 

Suddenly, the peace was broken as you gasped, “Remus!”, body going ramrod straight as your eyes flew around the room, finally going still when they fell on him, reclining in bed and looking at you with a soft, amused smile. 

“That’s my name, don’t wear it out,” He teased, his voice coming out surprisingly more rough than he expected. Remus reached for the water on his bedside table and you helped him out, before rolling your eyes.

“You nearly die and then the first thing out of your mouth sounds like it came straight from Sirius’ limited dialogue when it comes to girls,” 

You had meant to sound playful but Remus noticed the way your breath hitched as you’d uttered the words that echoed in his head. He’d nearly died? He took a long pull of his water before he set it down, hand seeking yours as you stared at him oddly. 

“Jokes aside, how are you feeling?” You asked, lip being abused between your teeth as you worried. 

“Probably better than you, you look like you’ve barely slept,” Remus deflected the question and you glared at him. You wouldn’t be lied to today it seemed. 

“I’m... better. Sore.” He slowly explained. “Not any worse than-” the usual. 

You nodded in understanding as he trailed off quietly, shrugging nonchalantly as you gripped his hand a bit tighter, thumb tracing an old scar he’d gotten from trying, and failing, to cut an apple from a tree, cutting himself instead. 

“How are you feeling?” He shot back, brushing his free hand against your cheek as you found yourself leaning into the touch. 

“I’m great!” You lied through your teeth, braving a smile that didn’t meet your eyes. 

“Y/N” Remus warned, wanting to know if anything was wrong despite being in no fit condition himself. 

You swallowed the lump in your throat and gave a noncommittal shrug. You were fine. You weren’t hurt besides the ache in your back and leg from carrying Remus last night. You were tired too but it seemed inconsequential now. All you could think about after crying it out last night was that it was your fault. If you had only listened, as Remus pointed out, neither of you would be in this position. 

Your fellow Order members had visited earlier, needing you to explain everything in full and you watched as their looks turned disapproving as you explained that you hadn’t looked before you leapt and it had nearly cost you one of the best men you’d even known. It had been exhausting. 

You startled back to the present as Remus’ thumb stroked the apple of your cheek, a soft “darling?” coming from his lips as his finger came away wet with tears. You hadn’t even realized you’d been crying. 

“It’s nothing,” You laughed weakly, shoving his hand away as you stood from your chair beside his bed. “Anyway, I’ve got to... get going” You hesitated with your words, unable to form a believable excuse and Remus wasn’t stupid enough to miss it. 

Remus reached for you, grip tight enough to stop you in your tracks but loose enough that you could easily pull away if you wanted. “Y/N, what’s wrong? Sometimes what we do, sometimes it doesn’t turn out right. I know that as well as you, please don’t tell me you’re blaming yourself,” 

You hated how easily he could tell what was going on inside your mind. You supposed it was because if the roles were reversed, he would be feeling the same guilt. “Of course I’m blaming myself,” You sighed, tugging your wrist from his grip but returning back to your seat as you buried your face in your hands. Even if he had already, you didn’t want him to see you cry. 

“They could find you any time! They could find you and hurt you and I’ll be powerless like I was last night and y-you might not get so lucky and it would be all my fault,” Your lip quivered, sniffling before you continued. “You told me to wait, to listen, and I ignored you. I ignored you and now you’re in a hospital bed,” 

“I’m safe,” Remus cut in, hand going to your hair as he shifted to the edge of his bed so he could be closer to you. “I saved you last night but you saved me too. If you hadn’t kept walking we wouldn’t be here now and it was plausible they could have found us and done much worse than killed us,” 

“We’d have been completely fine if I hadn’t been an idiot,” You kept going, ignoring his reasonable words. Your heart was pounding uncomfortably again and you recognized the fear mixed with the worry. You were still afraid that somehow those death eaters were just around the corner and that they would hurt Remus again. You cried harder into your hands as Remus rubbing gentle circles into your scalp. 

“Come here,” he finally said, knowing he couldn’t say much to comfort you. The quaking in your shoulders stopped momentarily as you processed his words. 

“Rem?” You croaked, looking up in question. His chest constricted at the sight of your puffy red eyes, made more severe by the bags that lay beneath them. You must have been beating yourself up all night long instead of sleeping. 

“Come here,” He repeated, scooting back in his bed and making ample room for you. You watched with wide eyes but you barely paused in climbing beside him, tucking yourself against his side as he wrapped his arm around you, kissing the top of your head. 

“You’re hurt because of me,” You reminded, ear pressed against his chest as you found some relief in the strong and steady beat of his heart. 

“We’re safe because of you,” He pointed out, hand trailing a warming path up and down your back. “Your safety matters too,” 

“Not at the cost of your own,” You scolded gently. 

Remus sighed heavily. “You would do the same for me,” 

“That’s different,” You grumbled petulantly. 

“It’s not,” Remus smiled a little, fingers grasping your chin lightly as he looked at you. “You know very well how I feel about you,” 

You blushed, pressing your face harder against the sturdy warmth of his chest. Remus’ voice was reassuring and steady. There was no hesitation when it came to his admittance of his feelings when they concerned you. You felt the same. Only problem was, you didn’t feel worthy. 

“Remus-” 

“I know,” He sighed, tugging you closer as you mentally pulled away. “Not the right time, never the right place, always something...” You could tell he was mainly speaking to himself but you knew he was hurt. You’d told him to move on, you couldn’t say you didn’t feel the same but you didn’t want to lead him on either. You were scared you wouldn’t be what he needed. He told you you weren’t leading him on because he’d never feel for anyone else what he felt for you so he’d just wait. The fool. 

“You’re the right person for me,” You offered as a heavy silence fell over you two. You were desperate to break it. “But-” 

“I’m a werewolf?” He winced. Of course that was it, of course that was why you didn’t want him... Why hadn’t he understood that earlier? After all, you’d turned away from the hideousness of him when you were children. 

“God Remus, no!” You were shocked to your core. Had you made him feel like you didn’t love all of him? You suddenly felt very guilty. “That isn’t it at all! I-I...” You were fumbling over your words as you knew the truth had to come out. 

You wished it didn’t have to come out with Healers bustling around you, their eyes trying not to linger too long on you and Remus as you cuddled, trying to keep your voices down but not quite managing it. 

“You are amazing, everything anyone could ever want. You are perfect in my eyes. Even with your furry little problem you have more humanity than half the people I’ve come across in my life.” You admitted, a lump stuck in your throat. “But I’m a coward and I can’t be what you need. It broke my heart when were kids to see you changing and I had to look away because I’d do something rash if I didn’t... And last night I was foolish and got you hurt. I’m not what you need Rem, no matter how I feel.” 

Remus was surprised at you. He was a werewolf for Merlin’s sake and you were caught up on how you might hurt him? How could you possibly think that you weren’t what he needed? You were everything he needed and more. You had turned away when he’d changed not because you’d been disgusted but because it had caused you pain too and if that didn’t made him feel loved, what else would?

You couldn’t avoid his gaze and it made your lungs constrict painfully. His eyes were sad and pleading. “It wasn’t your fault!” He urged, catching a few looks around the room that had started to attract more people as the sun rose higher in the sky. “Shouldn’t I be the one to decide what I need?” 

His grip on your chin was a little tighter now as he forced you to look at him and tell him no, tell him you two wouldn’t be happy together. But you couldn’t. Even now you were feeling better than you had in the past twenty four hours because he was holding you. 

“I want you to be safe-” Your argument was weakening as your voice cracked. 

“I’m safe and sound with you, nothing can take me from you as long as you let me be yours,” he promised, nuzzling his nose against yours and you sighed gently into the affection. 

“Promise me you want me?” You finally gave in. 

“I’ve wanted you for years, nothing has changed, not once.” He grinned, a smug but delighted look on his face. His fingers brushed through your hair as you mulled over it for a moment longer. 

“I suppose we’re safer together than apart,” 

“And happier together,” Remus smiled, kissing the corner of your mouth as you let go of all your tension. 

It had been a hellish day but you were able to let go of your doubt and guilt as Remus kept you safe in his arms. Whatever came next you would have each other.

Basic Flight Theory

I will openly admit here and now, I’m not well-versed in physics. I apologize if this section is a bit disorganized, since I’ll be stitching together others’ more comprehensible flight descriptions/explanations.

This first bit is from a kind follower, Rahjital, who sent us this quick explanation of flight theory a while back (sadly the images they added no longer seem to be working, so I tried to find fitting images as substitutes):

The first step to learn how lift works is to debunk the popular explanation of how lift forces are created, called the Equal Transit Time theory. The reasoning is that air flowing around the wing splits into two streams, one of which has to travel over the wing and another which travels below it. Due to the shape of the wing, the upper stream has to move faster to cover the same distance. This difference in velocities generates a difference in pressure and therefore lift.

However, what happens if you fly upside down?

The upper side of your wing points towards the ground, and so does the lift force. I would have said you’d fall like a rock, but the fall would actually be faster since your wings would drag you down. We all know that’s not how flight works, though, so how is lift actually created?

All you need to do is tilt the wings a bit. Seriously, I’m not kidding. No need for a specialized wing shape, as the majority of people seems to believe. (although it helps.) Why? Let me explain:

There are two phenomena causing lift to be created:

1. As air flows around the wing, its direction changes downwards and it leaves the back edge of the wing moving slightly more down. Mister Newton tells us that every action has its reaction, so if the air moves down, our wing has to rise.

2. Due to the tilting, the air flowing on the underside of the wing ends up colliding with it and slowing down, raising the pressure. On the other hand, the air flowing over the wings goes upwards because it has to get over the raised front edge, but as it can’t get back down immediately, it ends up travelling in an arc over the wing. This forms a small ‘pocket’ of low pressure straight above the top surface of the wings. These two fields of pressure then generate additional lift. (this is similar to how the Equal Transit Time theory states lift is generated, but with a very different reason, and not as important as the theory states it to be).

Next time you are traveling in a car, try reaching out of the window with your arm when going reasonably fast. As long as you keep your hand parallel to the ground, not much is going to happen, but once you tilt it even a little, the wind is going to push it up. (or down, depending on which direction you tilted it.) That’s it - your hand is generating enough lift to hit the frame of the car window. Just imagine how much lift does a properly built wing get in a similar situation.

The tilt I am talking about the entire time here is called the angle of attack, often abbreviated just AOA. The greater the angle of attack is, the more lift is generated, but the more drag there is, too. For airplanes, the AOA is negligible from an artist’s perspective, but for winged creatures, this is far more of a concern.

Therefore, the flight theory rule #1 is: Whenever you draw a flying creature, always make its wings slightly inclined. It wouldn’t be able to fly otherwise.

Bird vs. Bat vs. Pterosaur

This first bit will be borrowed from Koryos’ article “Bat Flight Versus Bird Flight” (which I highly suggest reading in-full for a deeper explanation). Fair warning though—from the short explanation they give of basic flight/lift, it seems they do believe (at least at the time of writing the article) in the now-defunct Equal Transit Time Theory, though their points on bird vs. bat flight are still valid otherwise:

If you look closely at the above gif, you’ll notice that at several points during flight, the bat actually bends its fingers, which dramatically changes the shape of its wings. Birds do not have joints in their feathers, so they cannot do this.

....

Flexible joints are not all the bat has in its arsenal. Its actual bones are flexible, due to a lack of calcium in its diet. This means that they deform and reform their shape during flight.

Birds minimize air resistance by rotating their primaries during their upstroke, allowing air to slip between the feathers. Bats, with solid membranes, can’t do this- so they have an even finer means of control. There are lines of muscle present within the bat’s wing membrane that can actually change the stiffness and malleability of its skin. You can see them quite clearly under the skin of our entangled bat friend.

This is a big brown bat (Eptesicus fuscus), by the way.

These muscles allow the bat to make their membranes flexible during their upstroke to decrease resistance, yet stiff during their downstroke in order to provide lift. It also allows them to change the camber (angle) of their wings on a whim!

This slow-mo video really displays just how incredibly flexible bat wings are.

Bat wings are also covered by millions of tiny, hyper-sensitive hairs that allow the bat to sense air currents and adjust accordingly.

So what does all this control do for the bat?

Well, for one thing, it means they’re not limited by symmetry. Bird wings will almost always mirror each other in shape, while bats may form two different wings shapes at the same time, allowing them to perform some crazy aerial acrobatics. Some insect-eating bats will actually grab an insect by wrapping one wing around it midflight (don’t believe me? You can see it in the beginning of this video!) and then get the insect in their mouth all in a split second, while still flying.

Now, in terms of speed, birds can generally outpace bats. But in terms of maneuverability, bats can fly circles around birds.

The fact that bats’ bones, unlike those of birds, aren’t hollow, and that their skin is heavier than feathers might seem like a disadvantage- but it isn’t. Birds have much more mass in the center of their body than they do in their wings; by contrast, bats have more mass distributed through each wing (12-20% per wing). This means that bats can actually push off their own mass to do things like flip, spin, roll, etc. No bird can stop midflight and flip over to land upside-down, but bats can.

Because they have such fine control over their airfoil shape, bats can also generate lift using less energy than birds. Remember when I talked about minimizing surface area during the upstroke and maximizing it during the downstroke? Bats can bend their fingers and ‘crumple’ their wings as they raise them, conserving energy. Think of it like opening and closing an umbrella. While birds can pull their feathers together more tightly, they can’t exactly clench them like fists.

Decreasing energy costs is good in any situation, but particularly for fliers. It takes a lot of energy to fly. In this case, bats can outcompete both birds and insects for energy efficiency- one study found that nectar-feeding bats, though the largest in size, expended the least energy hovering when compared to both moths and hummingbirds.

~~end quote~~

As for pterosaurs, I’ll leave it up to Mike Habib’s article “Feathers vs Membranes”:

The structure and efficiency of pterosaur wings is obviously not known in as much detail as those of birds or bats, for the simple reason that no living representatives of pterosaurs are available for study.  However, soft tissue preservation in pterosaurs does give some critical information about their wing morphology, and the overall shape and structure of the wing can be used (along with first principles from aerodynamics) to estimate efficiency and performance.

…((I’ll just be pasting the basic findings, but please read the full article if you’re interested in specifics))…

Now, for some punchlines...

Based on the structural information above, we might expect the following regarding pterosaurs and birds:

- Pterosaurs would have a base advantage in terms of maneuverability and slow flight competency.

- Pterosaurs would also have had an advantage in terms of soaring capability and efficiency

- Pterosaurs would have been better suited to the evolution of large sizes (though this was affected more by differences in takeoff - see earlier posts about pterosaur launch).

- Birds will perform a bit better as mid-sized, broad-winged morphs (because they can use slotted wing tips and span reduction).

- Birds would have an advantage in steep climb-out after takeoff at small body sizes (because they can work with shorter wings and engage them earlier).  This might pre-dispose them to burst launch morphologies/ecologies.

~~end quote~~

(other articles by Habib about Pterosaur anatomy and flight can be found here and here, for anyone interested)

When Exdraghunt linked us this information about pterosaur wings, it was in relation to a question about pterosaur keels and why they differed from bird keels. Exdraghunt suggested this might be due to pterosaur preference for soaring compared to bird flapping. However, plenty of inland pterosaurs could have been flappers, so I think the shallowness is more likely caused by their muscular setup compared to birds, discussed in more detail in the Basic Anatomy section.

Aspect Ratio and Wing Loading

Now that we have a basic understanding of the different modes of vertebrate flight, we can get to the fun stuff—wing diversity! Believe it or not, my friends, wing shapes and sizes can drastically effect an animal’s flight style.

Aspect ratio is the ratio of length to width in a wing, where high ratio indicates narrow wings, and low ratio indicates wide wings.

Loading is the ratio of body weight to wing size, where low loading = large wings + small weight, and high loading = small wings + large weight.

Measuring these two aspects against each other helps us determine different flight styles.

For a short n’ sweet rundown:

1)      Long, narrow wings (low loading, high ratio)= gliding, low speed

 2)      Long, wide wings (low loading, low ratio)= soaring

 3)      Short, wide wings (high loading, low ratio)= high acceleration (burst speed), maneuverability

 4)      Short, narrow wings (high loading, high ratio)= high speed

Though there are other aspects of wing shape to take into account as well.

(via^)

Pointedness refers to a wing tip’s position on the leading edge; IE- is the longest point of the wing further back behind the leading edge (A, round), or does the longest point lie along the leading edge (B, pointed)?. Rounder wings increase thrust, and lend towards greater maneuverability-- particularly in short/wide wings. Pointed wings reduce drag on the air (which increases speed), particularly in short wings, and can make for smoother flight.

Convexity refers to the acuteness of a wingtip; IE- is the shape of the wingtip curved relatively inwards (C, concave) or outwards (D, convex)? Concave wings are better suited for constant high speed. Convex wings create more lift, so are ideal for slow flying and increase acceleration.

Measuring these two aspects against each other gives us another fun chart of wing types.

(via^)

And let’s not forget that slotted wings—those whose primary remiges have notches which create gaps between these feathers—reduce drag and tend to be found in wide (low ratio) wings.

Put all these aspects and little details together, and you can observe some very unique flight patterns. Most ornithologists tend to organize wings into 4 different types, as shown below.

Though I personally like to use a few more types as organization (list via):

  1) Marine soarers are birds that fly for long periods over the open ocean and have very high aspect-ratio wings and average or low wing loading that reduce the energetic cost of flight. Birds in this category include the albatrosses (Procellariiformes).

  2) Divers/swimmers are birds with medium to high aspect ratios and high wing loading, including murres, loons, grebes, scoters, mergansers, ducks, and swans. These birds fly rapidly, but with limited maneuverability, characteristics useful for birds that often fly long distances (e.g., during migration or to feeding areas) and take-off and land on water where precise maneuverability is not as important.

  3) Aerial hunters are birds with high aspect-ratio wings and low wing loading, a combination permitting rapid flight and excellent maneuverability. Aerial hunters include swallows and martins (Passeriformes), swifts (Apodiformes), nightjars (Caprimulgiformes), Swallow-tailed Kites (Falconiformes), frigatebirds (Fregatidae), terns (Sterninae), some falcons (e.g., hobbies and Eleonora’s Falcon), and tropicbirds (Phaethontidae).

  4) Soarers/coursers include birds with low aspect ratios and low wing loading, characteristics that allow relatively large birds to either soar or fly just above the vegetation in open habitats in search of prey. Birds in the soaring category include hawks and eagles (Falconiformes), vultures, condors, and storks (Ciconiiformes), and cranes (Gruiformes). Coursing birds include some owls (e.g., Barn Owl and Short-eared Owl; Strigiformes) and harriers (Falconiformes).

  5) Short-burst fliers are birds with low aspect ratios and high wing loading that fly infrequently and only for short distances. Birds in this category include those in the orders Galliformes (e.g., turkeys, pheasants, quail, grouse, and megapodes) and Tinamiformes (tinamous).

  6) Hoverers are birds capable of flying in one position without wind and have high aspect ratios and, surprisingly, high wing loading. The high aspect ratio reduces the energetic cost of flight, whereas the high wing loading permits relatively fast, agile flight (Rayner 1998). The only true hoverers are the hummingbirds (Apodiformes).

~~end quote~~

I don’t have an outside source to verify this observation, but I’ve found that a longer “hand” section and shorter arm generally correlate with high-speed flight, while a shorter “hand” and longer arm correlates to low-speed gliding. I can only assume this may be due to a shorter arm section being easier to flap rapidly, but again, this is conjecture.

While much of this information is bird-specific, I was able to scrounge up a graph of bat aspect ratios and loading, so I can only assume these concepts similarly apply to bat flight.

(via^)

There sadly seems to be much less information available on bat wing/flight diversity…

As for pterosaur wing diversity, exdraghunt sent in some great input (as well as that chart of different bat wings featured above~):

There actually is a fair amount of wing diversity among pterosaurs, and it fairly closely parallels that in birds. (Though they do not reach the extreme variety in shapes that birds do, due to the limitations in variety of “arm+wing finger” combos)

One of the most extreme examples is Nyctosaurus gracilis, a long-distance marine soarer, similar to albatrosses. They have very long, thin wings (and also lost their other wing fingers, presumably because they came on land rarely)

Other species of pterosaur, like insect eaters (which need short, broad wings for manuverability) or over-land fliers would’ve had different wing shapes.

Some of this difference was achieved by varying the ratio between “arm” and “wing finger” lengths. You’ll notice that smaller, earlier “Rhamphorhynchoids” (the top half, with the long tails) tended towards  short arms vs long wing fingers. While larger, later Pterodactyloid species developed longer arms in relationships to the wing finger. (Especially in the wrist)

Special Cases: Hoverers

Hoverers such as hummingbirds are special cases in the world of vertebrate flight, because much of their lifestyle and physiology mimics that of insects-- including their flight.

The basic rules of flight theory discussed above won’t exactly apply to these guys, because air doesn’t travel over their wings in the same way it does in other vertebrate flyers. Take a look at this post and compare the animations between the hummingbird, goose, and bat. What exactly is unique about the hummingbird animation compared to the other two?

A few things-- for one, hummingbirds don’t have nearly as many points of wing articulation during flight. If you look closely, you’ll see there’s no bend at the elbow or wrist for a hummingbird; they move their whole arm in a completely stiff, figure-8 pattern. Such high-speed flapping can’t handle that much articulation.

Why a figure-8? Here’s the thing-- hummingbirds don’t technically have an upstroke they have to account for. Every stroke of their wings is a downstroke because when they pull their wings back, the topside of their wings tilts down and also pushes against the air as a “downstroke”. Thus, there’s never a gap between downstrokes-- they’re always efficiently pushing down against the air.

This is also why, unlike most every other flying vertebrate, their flight is more vertical than horizontal. In order to properly swing their wings in a figure-8 motion, they have to tilt their bodies up.

While hovering flight is cool as hell, it comes with a lot of restrictions; mainly, hoverers are always small. The energetic restrictions required for hovering are so incredibly high that bodies much bigger than a hummingbird wouldn’t be able to consume enough energy to make up for hovering. Plus, hoverers tend to live right on the edge of starvation because what energy they do manage to consume is used up so quickly.

If you do want to integrate hovering into your dragons, consider making it a secondary form of flight that they can only keep up for short bursts, rather than their primary mode of flight. Unless you’re ready to give your dragon a lot of physiological restrictions, which is cool too.

Day 27: Midnight

The old bell at the center of Reedsdale sang out its chime, the low echoes of the metallic clang reverberated around the buildings to let folks know it was far too late to be out and about. Didn’t stop anyone though. There were parties to go to, bars to sample, and the night to enjoy. Bones didn’t have to count the chimes to know what time it was, midnight on the nose. And where was that pain in the ass little mage? He was the one who wanted to meet him, not the other way around. He could be sleeping, or at least at home if rest would not find him. Sometimes it was just too much of a pain to come all the way into town from the deep swamp. Especially when the waters were high.

He leaned against a nearby lamp post, contemplating whether or not to just bail. While he was rarely on time himself, he didn’t mind not extending any courtesies to those who would waste time themselves. He made note of the cobbled streets, counting a few stones before becoming bored of the action. He had intentionally chosen a more residential side of Reedsdale, so as to have some level of privacy. There were far too many still out and about downtown for Bones to feel comfortable meeting someone like Pria without incident.

Feeling a rush of cold air, Bones glanced to his left, seeing a flash of black cloth settle into the outline of the boy. “Hey Pria.” He grunted without much fanfare, pulling a cigarette from the box in his pocket.

“Salutations.” The ever so cheerful voice shined back. Bones had never seen the kid’s face, but nothing he could picture ever matched the tone he always spoke in.

“What ya want from me? I ain’t got much time, so make it quick.” Bones flicked his lighter, igniting his smoke with a single motion.

“One has as much time as needed.” Pria noted, seeming to bounce on their toes before continuing. “Have you ever noticed how thin the air gets at midnight?”

Raising a brow, Bones grunted a single “No.” It was a lie of course, he had been around enough to know that the world felt different at midnight, but it held no other significance to him. But it was in his nature to play the idiot, and let people explain their purposes.

“Magic just seems easier.” Pria concluded, a slight clap to their hands. “Air tastes better too.”

“And ya brought me all the way into town to just say that?”

“Sure, why not? You fascinate me, Bones. I quite enjoy your company. Wouldn’t you want to spend time with fellow wielders at such an hour?”

“I ain’t much for playin’ with magic unneeded.” His eyes again wandered over the cobbles, thinking longingly for the road back home and back to bed. “I also haven’t spent much ‘round other mages, at least not formally. Too stiff with all their rules, colleges ain’t a place for me.”

There was a soft silence, before Pria took a step forward. “You don’t like me much.” It wasn’t an accusation, just a statement of fact. There wasn’t much emotion attached to it either.

“Can’t say I’mma fan of anyone dragging me into town this late.”

“Aw, don’t say that. All the fun things happen after midnight. It allows us to do things like this.”

A low roar was heard in the distance, and the sound of stomping feet were getting louder with every step. Bones didn’t know why he was so surprised, but he leapt into the air, summoning his staff, bracing himself for the sight of whatever weird creation Pria had come up with now. He turned his head to yell at the boy, but as usual he was already gone. Bones bit his lip and rushed to meet the beast head on.

In Pria’s usual fashion in making nightmare creatures, this thing was massive. It nearly reached three stories in height, its sewn skin dripping off of it in pieces, leaving a convenient trail to follow if Bones ever lost sight of it, but how could you lose sight of such a large beast? Antlers jutted out on all the joints, splitting between exposed muscles. If the sight alone wouldn’t make one vomit, the smell certainly did. How did he keep this thing under wraps for so long? Bones sneered as he began to doubt his own senses, normally he’d sense this creature the second it was animated. Perhaps there was something else in play here. That could be solved later, right now he had to at least get this thing out of town, and then destroy it somehow without getting its foul flesh all over his body.

Bones stuck his fingers between his lips, blowing a shrill whistle to get the monster’s attention. “Hey big boy, come’n get it!” He waved his free hand and began to fly down the street, leading towards the tree line.

The beast opened its maw and released a horrendous roar, turning to follow the tempting prize of the necromancer. At least it was stupid and sight oriented. “That’s it, come play with me! What, ya so pathetic ya can’t even fly? Your master must not love ya at all.”

It flexed its muscles, crouching to build up tension and then releasing it all at once flinging its weight several hundred feet forward. “Aw, hell.”

Bones dodged at the last possible second, the monster passing him easily. Note, bad plan to taunt it too much. Could cause needless destruction. Just as he was pondering what to do next, a buzz reminded him of the flip phone in his pocket. “What now?” He flipped the phone open. “Make it quick. Got my hands full.”

“Where are you?” Icarus’s voice squeaked through the speaker.

“Tryin’ to keep the neighborhood from bein’ ripped apart.” The monster roared again, as if wanting a part in the conversation. “Where the hell are ya?”

“Walking to town, what the hell was that?”

“A pain in my ass, can ya get down to the east side and give me a hand?”

“I’ll try.”

“Ya better.” Bones slammed the phone shut and refocused on leading it away. They were so close to being out of harm’s way.

Bones jet himself forward, focusing inward to feel the skeletal structure of this thing, maybe he could take over influence of its action. They were too far from any known burial sites for him to summon any assistance, and who knows how long it would take Icarus to arrive, or if he’d be any help at all. But if he could hijack its energy, maybe he could just bend it to his will. Bones’s eyes glowed purple, trying to make out what made this thing tick, seeing the aura of magic moving over its body was fascinating. There were so many connection points and the system seemed to be finely tuned. He couldn’t directly notice a weak point. But there were flares when it charged up to move, as if it had limited capacity to hold together, it was leaking energy something fierce. How did Pria manage to get this thing moving in the first place? He must’ve tricked several mages into powering its core, there was no other way to get that much force from one person. Let alone a kid.

A rustle of branches let Bones now Icarus had just arrived, not to mention to shriek of fear once he laid eyes on it. “What the fuck is that?!?”

“Doesn’t matter, help me kill it.” Bones growled, beginning to chant wards to block the beast from moving further.

It screamed once it realized its muscles were locking up, turning to spitting up whatever bile was circulating in it. Icarus was fear struck, he had never seen anything like this, or heard about monsters of this size. His hands shook as he tried to figure out exactly where he should start on such a being. He slit his palm, forming one of his throwing knives in his hands. This would be such a waste of blood, and he cursed himself for coming out to this at all.

He threw the blade at the beast’s knee, trying to cut the sinews that gave it mobility, the blade struck alright, but didn’t seem to make much of a dent. It only proceeded to make the thing even more pissed off, Icarus knew this due to the blow a swinging fist that caught him to the side, the force throwing him into the tree tops.

“Shit.” Bones whispered between chants, lowering his altitude to see if Icarus was alright. The stirring of leaves let him know the vampire was at least still alive. That was good. What was not so good was the beast winding up to get him next. He had to end this right now. “I’m gonna hate life no matter what, so here we go.”

With little choice, Bones flung himself into the chest of the beast, grabbing onto portions of exposed ribcage, and willing his magic directly into the conglomeration of bones. His body screamed at the dishonor of touching such a filthy thing, the image of whatever ooze, bile, and other miscellaneous filth covering his hands. Just a minute longer, he could freak out in a minute, just take this thing down.

Icarus freed himself from the leaves, dropping down to gear up from a more close range attack, snapping his dislocated should back into the socket. He was pissed, feeling the heat rising into his hands, so he summoned a new knife. He would make that thing regret its every move. He rushed forward, realizing that his leg wasn’t properly centered but he would worry about healing later. The lust of adrenaline was controlling him now. His new blade sunk into its leg, and he pulled it out, slashing and tearing at the flesh like a mad man.

Glowing purple runes suddenly bubbled up to the surface of its flesh, giving Icarus enough warning to leap back. The beast screamed as flesh flung off its body in a sick rain of gore, increasing in speed until only the bones remained. The light of its eyes went out, collapsing to the ground. “Well that went well.” Icarus moaned in pain as the adrenaline wore off. His senses came back for a moment, where the hell was Bones?

He carefully moved around the monster, looking through coagulates of flesh, moving bone and marrow around, listening for the telltale sound of the mage’s heartbeat. He rolled over the ribcage, finding him unconscious underneath and leaking black smoke out of his mouth. “Fuck.”

He picked up his ooze-covered friend and ran back to the house. He needed to call Lady Serena right now. Nothing good was about to happen, he could feel it in his blood. His mother always told him nothing good happened after midnight, and now more than ever he knew what she meant. He just hoped there was time to fix this.

Spine Endoscopy: Endoscopic Discectomy for slipped disc and sciatica

Endoscopic Discectomy is a minimally invasive spine interventional technique that utilizes an endoscope to treat herniated disc, protruded disc or disc bulge, extruded, or degenerative discs that are a contributing factor to leg and back pain.

Since we don’t have to cut the muscles and bones to open the entire spine, spine endoscopy has shown to be a boon for patients with spine problems. With the advancement in technology using 3 Chip camera and 4K monitors, now we can see each and every structure inside with more clarity and thus can avoid injury to important structures. At IPSC, we have best of the equipment’s for your safety and efficacy of the procedure.

Frequently asked questions

Q. Do all disc problems need spine endoscopy?

A. No! Spine endoscopy or Endoscopic discectomy is required for cases of slipped disc or disc bulge where your protruded disc is compressing the nerves. When the disc compresses the nerve, your pain will start going down to your legs which is called radiculopathy or sciatica.

Q. For how long we can avoid this procedure?

A. Usually we advise conservative treatment in the form of medications, physiotherapy in selected cases and some exercises after examining the patient. If the condition is not urgent, we usually wait for 2-4 weeks. But, in cases where the disc herniation is large and compressing the nerves, it is advised to get it removed as soon as possible. Compression of the nerves for longer duration, may lead to irreversible damage to the nerve. In these cases, patient may develop foot drop or muscle weakness or some neurological deficit.

Q. If I already have some numbness or weakness in the lower limb, can we still go for endoscopic discectomy?

A. If there is a major loss of function like loss of bladder and bowel control, loss of limb movements, sense less leg, in such cases we do open surgical discectomy.

In patients with some numbness or tingling, we can safely go for endoscopic discectomy.

Q. Do you remove the complete disc from that level

A. No. We only remove the protruded part of the disc. By selectively removing that bulging part, we relieve the nerve off the pressure.

Q. Is there any chance of re herniation of disc?

A. Although rare, but it is possible if we don't take proper precautions after endoscopic discectomy. We usually advise 4 weeks of lumbar support belt after the procedure, along with some restriction of activities like prolonged sitting, forward bending, and weight lifting.

Q. Do u cut the bones and muscles to reach the disc?

A. No. That is not required in the endoscopic procedure. Infact, we preserve even the normal disc which is close to protruded disc. This prevents the collapse of the disc in future.

Q. Can this procedure be done under local anesthesia?

A. Yes. We make a small hole on the skin under local anesthesia and infiltrate the entire track up to the disc with local anesthesia. Patients are awake throughout the procedure and this adds safety to the procedure as we can detect any touching to the nerve while removing the disc.

Q. What are the complications

A. Complications are possible but rare with this technique as compared to open surgery. The possibility of nerve injury, bleeding, and infection at the site are there and in most cases are manageable.

Q. Is endoscopic discectomy covered under medical insurance?

A. Yes, it is covered but one day admission is required for insurance purpose. At IPSC, for non-insurance patients we do this procedure as a day care and we discharge them after 4-6 hours of observation.

How To Tell For Sure If You Are The Ideal Body Weight

How do you know if you are your ideal body weight? There are various methods used to determine ideal body weight. Some focus on your body overall fat content, some on your body water content, whereas others use your body mass index (BMI) technique.

Let me first start by saying that the body itself does not decide whether you will be a healthy weight or not because this decision does not take into account your bone structure or body frame. Your doctor can help you with your health-related goals by providing appropriate recommendations based on your age and on your unique situation.

Weight check is also related to your general health. Apart from helping you in your general health condition, it can also be used to help you determine the general health conditions you have. A lot of people are conscious when it comes to weight. All you need to do is measure your body fat and applicable measurements such as weight, waist, and hip.

Ways to Check Your Body Weight

Weight check is definitely useful to determine if you are what you should be because there are a lot of different ways in which this can be done. The first and perhaps the easiest procedure to do is to use the body fat scale. The scale manufacturer's goal is to display as many reacts as possible. This makes it possible for them to know how much weight people have or they already have.

Another mechanism by which weight can be determined is through the use of the body fat scale. This is essentially a body scale that looks like a normal bathroom scale. It uses the principles of bending and stretching to measure the amount of fat in your body. The manufacturer's goal is to display as few reacts as possible. This enables them to ensure that the scale is functioning properly and efficiently without causing excess stress or damage to your body.

A third mechanism which can be used to determine if you are the ideal body weight or not has been advocated by weight management professionals like dietitians and doctors for many years now. This third weight checkup requires a little bit of rigorous calculation however the outcome is still useful. This third method is through the use of the BMI or body mass index.

The body mass index is basically known as the BMI formula by many people. This formula was created back in the 19th century by a doctor. Later on this formula was adopted by many scientists and organizations in order to determine the proper body weight for each individual.

The body mass index formula is pretty simple. It is just an equation based on your weight and height. Your height is measured in meters and your weight is measured in kilograms. Therefore, the equation to calculate your BMI involves inputting your age, your weight and your height together with 9.99. After doing the calculation you will get output as a number.

There is nothing complicated about this equation. The important thing here is that it gives you an answer that is very useful to you. This is exactly how the body mass index calculation is done since it takes all your body fat to calculate body mass index.

Other Things to Expect

One problem with the body mass index formula however is that there are a lot of people who may have a lot of muscle weight yet their height shows to be mainly built up of body fat. These people are thus considered as obese even though others may consider them to be healthy. In order to solve this problem there is a field of study known as the skinny fat syndrome.

This is a condition where people are either skinny in stature but have high body fat or they are overweight but have small packing muscles. Some of the characteristics of this condition are large waist, underactive thyroid, low body energy or the lack of it, insulin resistance that leads to serious diseases like diabetes mellitus, and high blood pressure that lead to an ultra low body weight.
