Broken, but saved

Chapter 7

**A quick reminder: This is Uraraka's and Eri's escape from Overhaul and the subsequent rescue of Shirakumo, so this takes place at about the same time as last chapter. That's all I wanted to say!**

**Three months until UA's entrance exam**

"Hey, Nineteen." Overhaul's voice rang out, causing me to jump. What did he want?

"Yes, sir?" I asked, turning to face him. I hope he doesn't know Eri and I are planning an escape....

"I've been satisfied with your work for a while now, so tomorrow you can go into the city with Chronos' supervision. So long as you don't screw anything up while you're up there, got it?"

I let out a small gasp. This was the opportunity I had been waiting on for so long. And it was finally here! "Thank you, sir. I'm going to go let Eri know she'll have a different guardian tomorrow." I bowed to him, then turned and walked towards Eri's room. "Eri? Are you awake?"

"Yes miss Nineteen. I am." Eri's voice came floating out to me. I opened the door and found Eri snuggled with her blanket on the bed, which I sat down on.

"Eri, tomorrow they're letting me go out into the city, so you'll have someone else watching you. You know what that means, right?" I asked her, staring her directly in the eyes.

"Yes. I have to behave right." Eri stated, looking back into my eyes.

"Good girl." I said, hugging her. "Now, would you like something to drink before bed?" She shook her head. "Alright then." I left her room and headed down to mine, which was the size of a closet. I got onto my bunk, and fell asleep. 

"Wake up, Nineteen. Unless you don't want to go out into the city." Chronos' voice roused me from my sleep, and I sat up on my bunk. 

"I'm coming." I said, before getting out of the closet and standing in front of him. "Ready."

*Time skip about an hour*

Chronos' phone buzzed, alerting him to a call. Looking at the number, his eyes narrowed before answering it. "What's wrong, boss?"

"It's Eri. The little brat gave Ichigo the slip and is loose. Nineteen is still with you though, right?" I heard Overhaul say. I pretended I wasn't paying attention, But inside I was bouncing. This was exactly what I had hoped she'd be able to accomplish. Now, our plan could really begin.

"Yes, Nineteen is still with me. She hasn't left my sight. Do you want us to look for Eri?" He asked Overhaul. 

"No, I want you to continue shopping at the mall. Of course I want you looking for her!" Overhaul shouted on the  other end, causing Chronos to jerk his head away from the phone.

"All right, all right, we'll look for her." Chronos sighed, then disconnected from the call. "Nineteen, we have to look for Eri." I pretended like I still wasn't paying attention. "Nineteen."

"Huh? Oh, yeah, ok." I said, acting like he'd startled me. Then I began walking around, acting like I was looking for Eri. After a few minutes, I'd lured him out to a currently empty side street, then looked down an alley. "Hey, I think I just saw her!" I called out to him, then ran down the alley with him in pursuit of me. Right when he rounded the corner, I struck.

"Hiyah!" I said, turning around and using my cat agility to start hitting and clawing him. 

"Ung! Why you little freak! I'll kill you!" He tried stabbing me with his quirk, but I dodged them, then counterattacked. 

"You know, I never told any of you how many quirks that maniac doctor gave me. How about I show you another one of my abilities?" His eyes widened, and he tried to run, but I snatched him up with a purple tendril that spawned off of my back. "I didn't know what to call this one at first, but I settled on 'Violet Shadow'. Suits it, huh?" I waved him around in the air a bit, then dropped him onto the ground.
