Part 6: Running to the shadows

          It had been two months since you'd been taken. You knew in your heart if Touya survived he wouldn't be there anymore. Does he think you abandoned him? Like he was too much work so you just got up and left? You tried every day to get out. If he was alive you wanted to see him and explain everything, even if he hated you that would be ok. As long as he was alive, you'd be alright. Sometimes the drugs they were forcing into your veins made you forget why you wanted to leave. Luckily they let up after a few weeks but kept you in the cell. Sterusu was working hard on the plan to get you clothes.

          The door opens softly and Sterusu walks in behind a pile of clothes. You crawl out of the corner looking excitedly at him.

"You get the keys?"

He shakes his head as he puts the clothes down.

"I found a pick though, and I distracted the guard so he won't be here for about ten minutes."

You nod and swipe the pick from his working the lock open on the chain connecting you to the wall. The lock drops with a clank, and the chain that was still wrapped around your neck fell against your chest. The cold metal sends a sickening chill through your body. Sterusu starts handing you clothes quickly. You throw them all up reveling in the warmth flooding back into your body. You look at Sterusu with a huge smile on your face.

"Get to the meet spot and whatever you do, don't open the door. Are you positive you'll be safe there?"

"Yeah, uh can I ask what is ya gonna do?"

"I'm going to freeze this place over like hell itself."

"Ya gonna be ok?"

"I think so, this is a lot of clothes so I won't lose my body head too badly."

He nods and creeps out of the cell quickly.

          You close your eyes putting all your concentration into your quirk. Sterusu had drawn you up a map. You start down the halls trying not to be seen unless absolutely necessary. A few people see you but you take care of them easily enough. You manage to get out of the building without much trouble and book it down the street. You told Sterusu you would meet up with him in the underground. There was a huge empty area that wasn't used for anything, in one of the subway stations. You book it all the way back to the underground using the hidden marks used to find it. Once you know where you are again you run all the way back to the abandoned apartment building. You get to the entrance, its rundown grimy looking giving you a sense of peace. Your legs nearly give out as you fly up the five flights of stairs to the top. God, why, did, I, have to put my room at, the, top?

          You stand outside the black-painted door worriedly. What was waiting for you on the other side? Could you handle the possibility...? You take a deep breath, placing your hand on the cold golden handle, and twist it. The door opens silently, with no sound except your beating heart. The room was dark except for the last rays of light peeking through the blinds. Your eyes look over to the bed and see it in disarray with blankets and pillows. Way more than before... The walls looked more beat up than before as well. Was he still here?

"Touya?"

You speak softly half hoping he wouldn't respond. The thought of him here all by himself, waiting on the hope you'd show up. But nothing answered you back, just the soft sound of the wind through the broken window. You walk over to the bed flopping down out of pure exhaustion. You start baling into the pillow as you catch the scent of smoke.

"TOUYA!"

You scream into the pillow weakly punching the bed. You scream out until you can't anymore and just lay there staring blankly at the wall. 

          You snap awake looking around confused half forgetting where you were. Your eyes land on a huge message written on the wall in blood. How the hell did I not see that before?

Just like the park

You smile weakly at the message. He was alive, and he was coming back. You'd just have to wait and hope it didn't take him too long. You get up and walk over to the wall running your fingers over the blood. It was old, probably a few weeks at least. You take one of the knives you had stored here and cut open your arm.

You step back smiling and head out to find Sterusu. 

         You creep into the underground watching out for the doc, knife in hand. That bitch is getting stabbed in the neck when you find him. He wasn't around, so you head to the station. The huge open space would be perfect to build in, you wonder why no one has yet. You look around and find Sterusu sitting by a small fire. He looks up at you through his shaggy black hair.

"Heya."

"Hey."

You go over sitting by the fire next to him. He offers you some food and water which you devour.

"Ya find your friend?"

"He's around."

"That's good."

"So I was thinking, clearly working isn't panning out for me. I'm kinda wanted so I can't really use my quirk. Want to join me? I'm going to just start taking everything I need or want. This stupid society has taken enough from me, it's about time we get even."

Sterusu looks at you curiously and smiles.

"Sounds like fun."
