“With the amount of scarring on your arms, we won’t be able to use the usual brachial artery,” the nurse says slowly, before picking up the gown. “Do you know where the femoral artery is?”
Dabi does know, if only because it’s considered a killshot in the underworld. If your femoral artery gets sliced or shot up or whatever, you have minutes to live if you're lucky, seconds if you’re not.
He also knows it’s located in the inner thigh. Which explains the gown.
This day keeps getting shittier and shittier, he thinks, glaring at the flimsy piece of cloth the nurse is holding up.
It’s not like he’s never been naked in front of someone else before. It’s just that it was usually somewhere dark, like a dingy hotel room or an alleyway.
“Unless,” the nurse lowers the gown when Dabi doesn’t answer, “the scarring also covers your legs?”
Dabi sets his jaw. “Not entirely.”
Honestly, the window is looking like a wonderful option right now.
This is from the next chapter of Undercover 101! Dabi is in for his medical checkup, and as a villain who's been underground for the last ten-ish years, he's not loving how thorough it is 😅
