Chapter 25: It's Showtime baby
The nurse Ellie quickly returned with the file in her hand, which she passed to Emma.
"Thank you," Emma said, as she received it. She then started looking at the information, and indeed, the seven patients here were in the worst condition.
They ranged from an eight-year-old girl to a 47-year-old man, and James Olsen, the father of the girl she saved, seemed to be in the worst condition.
It took Emma ten minutes to carefully read the file and think about the different ways she could use her chakra to heal them.
She made a hand sign to Coulson and Dr. Hill to come outside and said, "I think I can heal them."
In fact, both of them wanted to hear this from her mouth. Dr. Hill is someone who chose medicine to save as many people as possible, while Coulson is kind-hearted in the first place, which is why Fury hesitated to make him SHIELD Director.
Although Dr. Hill wanted to agree with her, he still had to maintain his duty as a doctor. He asked, "How sure are you that you can heal them, and what are the side effects?"
Emma said, "I'm about 90% sure I can heal them according to what I've tested and what my master taught me in the use of my power. As for side effects, if I have to name one, it would be hunger. They'll need to eat a lot after the treatment."
The people in this world don't have chakra to supplement the energy she uses to accelerate their healing. Another kind of energy will be needed. If they were mutants, there might not be side effects, though it remains to be tested.
As for saying 90%, Tsunade's ability isn't omnipotent after all, even though Emma thought this kind of injury should be easy for her to heal, even without invoking Katsuyu.
Dr. Hill was just looking for a good reason to allow Emma to heal, but hearing she had such a high chance, he was shocked. He then looked at Coulson, and the latter nodded to him. He said, "Okay, if you have any requests, we'll do our best to assist you."
Emma nodded and was already in the mood. She wanted to start with the girl's father because he was in the most critical situation: severe spinal cord injury, multiple fractures, and internal bleeding. His prognosis was hopeless. Even with the best modern technology, recovery was unlikely.
They returned to where the patients were grouped. Dr. Hill said to the families, "Everyone, we are about to start a special operation for the injured. As you can see, Ms. Emma here was one of the injured in the attack, but she was healed in a special way. We request that everyone leave the room as we will start the operation."
Hearing what Dr. Hill said, even if some were faking it, all of them showed shocked expressions and were looking at Dr. Hill as if he was their messiah.
Most of the people here had lost hope, but now they didn't even know how to react—should they say they don't want their family members to be experimented on by the government, or refuse?
It's a joke. From the moment the first person left, all the others followed without even asking what would happen. It's not that they didn't want to ask, but all seven injured people were in such critical condition that they needed a miracle to survive.
Before leaving, Ms. Olsen looked up at Emma, as if she had some idea of what was about to happen. With tear-filled eyes, her voice barely above a whisper, she said, "Please... save him."
After most people left, leaving only Emma, Coulson, Dr. Hill, and Ellie, Emma approached James.
She injected some chakra into him so that she could have a better sense of what was happening inside his body. She felt the damaged nerves, the broken bones, the torn tissues. It was worse than she had thought, but still doable.
Emma knew that Tsunade could heal severe wounds like deep cuts, broken bones, and internal organ damage. Her medical ninjutsu could regenerate tissue and repair significant injuries. With her advanced medical knowledge, Tsunade could heal cellular damage and exhaustion. She also pioneered the use of the Creation Rebirth technique, which allows her to forcibly regenerate cells, even though it shortens her lifespan.
After gaining a deeper understanding of his situation, she placed her hands over his chest. She let her chakra flow into James's body like a wave of warmth. She began by repairing his spine, the most critical part of his recovery.
After all, it wasn't where she placed her hands that mattered but how she controlled the chakra. It coursed through the damaged vertebrae, knitting the broken bone fragments back together.
The nerve damage, which had been deemed irreversible, began to heal as Emma's chakra stimulated the cells to regenerate.
She worked with calm precision, her energy guiding the tiny fibers to reconnect with the accuracy of a master surgeon. Each torn nerve was meticulously repaired, each vertebra restored to perfect alignment.
She didn't rush. There was no need to. Her chakra reserves were deep, and her control flawless.
It only took a few moments before James's spine was fully repaired. She then switched to the less life-threatening but still significant injuries—the fractures in his legs.
Her chakra weaved through the bones, healing them in seconds. The internal bleeding in his abdomen slowed and then stopped entirely as Emma's chakra repaired the torn blood vessels and restored his organs to full functionality.
Whether it was Coulson, Dr. Hill, or Ellie, they were speechless at the miracle Emma had performed. They had knowledge of her ability from reports, but seeing it with their own eyes was simply beyond words.
As Emma worked, she could feel James's body responding to the treatment, his heartbeat growing stronger, his breathing more even. She knew her work was done and started thinking about the next patient.
