YOU WENT DARK ON ME // open, oneshot

[arcy]

It would seem Natasha had a habit of bringing the injured back just as Izuku is about to leave camp. The Maine Coon had been dragging himself and his injured leg along when he first sees the bright yellow of Atbash's fur. There's -- red, mixed in with it. Izuku jolts, blinking a few times with alarm. Natasha is carrying her, but all Izuku can feel is panic. What'd happened? Oh god, oh god. Izuku hadn't had to deal with something like this -- he'd dealt with harmed clanmates but they'd always been conscious Atbash clearly wasn't. Did the village have a doctor's office? Izuku isn't sure, and if he hasn't been informed, he doesn't think it's been stocked up yet, anyways.
"Is she -- is she okay?" Izuku demands, panicked, as he approaches, tail restlessly waving as he peers at Atbash, eyes wide. She was -- breathing. Wasn't great, but she was alive, at least. That was good enough for now. "I -- I have my stuff in a room, let's take her there," Izuku is clearly distressed, but he motions Natasha to follow as he hurriedly makes his way home. It's just the back room, which luckily has a door. He has a ton of blankets and towels there, and they could set her up next to the fireplace if they needed to. Either way, his place was close and he wouldn't have to conjure any of his stuff. It was just convenient. Either way, he's moving as quick as he can without losing Natasha, even if it takes walking on his injured paw again. He's not quite sure what was wrong with Atbash yet, but after a quick examination and general treatment where he wasn't terrified he should know everything enough to treat her fully.
