The Nomu (Child Reader x MHA)

Chapter 15 The Promise

'We finally completed the bullets, Y/N is currently being stabilised with the testing phase.'

'But we're wasting the bullets, they last for a day before needing to be reset. We can't create bullets in a single day, we're losing too much value.'

'Don't worry Chrono, we have enough bullets until Shigaraki comes this week. One shot with this, will erase the quirk forever.'

'It took a month to create the bullets. We used too much of our resources, and our money just to create 5 bullets.'

'It's because we've made them in these conditions. But let's move on to the next phase.'

4 years ago, you managed to escape and took over the underground facility. Back then they had no way of stopping you and your quirks. But now, you're back where you started. This time, you're without your quirks.

The bullets lasted for a day before they came back and injected you with a new dose. This has happened 5 times so far, meaning you've been here for 5 days at least. What day is it? Friday? Thursday? Saturday? You don't know anymore.

They took your belongings away and threw on a plain old hospital gown. Now you're stuck in the same room with Eri. At least neither of you are alone, you got each other.

Eri didn't like it however. She kept apologizing, saying sorry over and over again. Saying it's her fault for the reason why you got captured by Overhaul.

'Poor Eri.' You thought, she's blaming herself for everything.

You crawled onto the bed, where she mostly stayed in the room, lying down with the pillow over her head. Your movements made her quickly look up for a second and pulled herself back a bit before realising it was only you.

"Hey," You said softly, "Are you ok?"

What were you thinking?! OF COURSE SHE WASN'T OK! She might have been here for most of her childhood, and you have the urge to ask if she was ok?!

But as you were cringing yourself, Eri suddenly threw her arms around you.

"I'm sorry..." She whispered, quietly. Her grip on you tightened. "If I didn't run away, then I wouldn't have met you. Then you wouldn't have come down here... I'm so sorry..."

You slowly place one hand on her back, and the other on her hair, putting your chin on her head.

"Did that man tell you that?" You were referring to Overhaul. "Listen here, Eri. Firstly, you didn't know that was going to happen, how could you stop something you didn't know was coming?" You pat her head. "Secondly, don't you think it's better if you have someone to be with you? I know my Quirk is dangerous but that doesn't mean I'll run away, right? We're both the same in some way, like sisters I guess. We'll get out of here, just you wait and see."
