Wrong place, right time?

Chapter 11

Kurogiri's POV:

Now that everyone is awake, fed and in a close proximity to one another I can debrief them. "Toga, twice, you two are going to meet with the shie hissakai to see if they would work with us. And also scope out their base to also check if they're a threat to us. This is estimated to take around a week or two." the two of them nod and leave to go pack what few clothes they think they'll need along with any weapons. "Young master, Compress, Magne and Spinner, sensei would like you to scout the area, check for heroes, possible recruits and see if anyone is overdue with their payments. Is there any questions?" Spinner raises his hand, "uh yeah, why isn't Dabi included?" all eyes are on the fire user, his head is on the table and he's quietly groaning about everything.

"He's still quite hungover and will only impede on the missions, so to make things go smoothly he has been excluded from todays missions. Though, that does not mean he's off Scott free. He and Jacob are on clean up duty, laundry duty and will be helping me today." Dabi groans louder and a couple others laugh. Jacob on the other hand was confused, he wanted to know why everyone was giving him sympathetic looks and worried looks.

Before they all leave for their respective missions Magne and Toga stop by and say goodbye to him. Magne smacks Dabi and scolds him, "I warned you last night this would happen if you got wasted. Now you have to face the consequences. Good luck Jacob, you'll need it. Try your best and don't pass out." At this point Jacob was starting to look a little worried himself, I sigh a look down to Cho who is currently sat on a small chair that's hidden by the counter and is playing with a very old and worn stuffed shark that Compress gave her when she was upset. He made quite the show and she loved his magic tricks and now adores the shark.

When I find the time, I will definitely be sewing it up and washing it. The shark looks like it needs it, plus I need to be safe, in case she decides to put it in her mouth. Who knows what kind of germs could be on there...

I see why Mange says I mother hen a lot...

'Jacobs' POV:

I don't like the fact that everyone look worried when we were told we're on clean up duty, just what is 'clean up'? I stand up and excuse myself for awhile to try to talk to the detective but as soon as I slip away I'm called back by Kurogiri.

"Dabi, you are to collect everyone's bedding. No you will not enter their rooms and I have warped them all outside their respective doors for you to collect. Don't groan, don't argue, just go." His yellow eyes become almost slits, it was if he was waiting- no hoping he would argue so he could be put back down a notch. "Jacob, you are to clean all the windows and do the dishes that are in the sink then put away all those dishes plus the ones that are air drying." That doesn't seem so bad. I suppose the detective will have to wait.

As soon as I got a proper look at the windows I saw how much grime was on them, I almost gagged at the sight of it actually. Kurogiri walked over and handed me a couple rags along with some cleaning sprays and materials that should hopefully clean this mess. I sigh and get to it.

It took an hour and a half to clean 8 windows...eight! And I have 10 more to go. Now I feel like crying, now I see why everyone felt so bad for us. I got a glimpse of Dabi walking in with some bedsheets and as soon as he walked out of the laundry room he looked close to throwing up. He was visibly green kind of thing. I wonder who's sheets were so dirty that they made him feel so sick. I turn back to the windows and sigh again before getting back to work.

It took another 2 hours to finish up, I have never spent more time cleaning a damn window in my life and I never want to again. I'd rather go back to teaching and having no sleep. I'd rather deal with the damn rat than be doing this...
