Zantedeschia aethiopica

Chapter 12: Deal

Getting upstairs I looked around for anyone else before creeping toward Bakugo who looked at me with pure anger and rage. I rolled my eyes and kneeled in front of him changing my eyes to their natural tone then my face making his eyes widen.

" Hi, kid," I said quietly. " Look, I know you're confused and pissed off, but I need you to listen to me. I don't have much time." I started trying to listen for anyone coming. " I'm gonna try and get you two out of here. Kaori is in bad shape. I've tried to heal her the best I can. I'm gonna put something in your pocket. I need you to give it to Aizawa when you see him again. I'm trusting you kid." I said pulling out the label and slipping it into his pant pocket, I gave a small smile. " I will get you, kids, out of here," I told him then morphed back into my Kage look and flopped onto the couch, chewing at my fingers. I could feel Bakugo's eyes on me.

Dabi and Tomura returned to the main part of the bar, and Tomura returned to his normal spot at the bar and began smirking at the kid. I watched with intent as I felt for Kaori and how she was doing. Her physical body was done and needed time. Whatever was in that vial did a number on her. I could feel that she was struggling to use her quirk but rage flowed through her, a small smirk played on my lips.

" Isn't that strange the heroes are becoming the villains." Tomura stated bringing my attention back, seeing everyone was back in the main bar area. " Seems like they aren't dealing with this very well at all. So much criticism, but everyone makes a mistake or two right? It's not like they are supposed to be perfect modern day heroes sure have it rough don't you think Bakugo?" Tomura asked

" Once a hero receives payment to protect people they aren't a real hero anymore that what Stain's actions taught us." Spinner chimed.

" A hero in this current system only cares about money and glory. And since society but in to those idiotic rules, anyone deemed a loser is shoved aside. So we want to pose some questions. What is a hero? What is justice? Is this society truly fair? Soon, everyone will be asking." Tomura said, looking at the boy who was just glaring at him from his chair, I watched curiously to see if he would respond to Tomrua and his rant. " That's when we'll know we've won. And you like winning. Don't you?" Tomura asked the boy making me jump upright, fear flowing through me as I looked between the other members and begging for something to happen at this moment, anything to make sure that this kid didn't answer. He said nothing, and only let out a small growl. I prayed that would be it, I pleaded that would be his only answer. " Dabi. Let him go."

" You know he'll just fight." Dabi said turning to Tomura, I nodded in agreement not for Dabi's safety but for Kaori's and Bakugou's. If he stayed bound then he would be safe, if he wasn't he was in danger.

" It's fine." Tomura said, holding out his hands nonchalantly. " We're recruiting him, so we should treat him as an equal." Tomura said and my jaw dropped. " Besides, he's smart enough to know he can't take us all, right?" Tomrua asked and my gaze flickered towards Bakugo. " After all, UA students are so clever."

" Hey, Twice. You do it." Dabi said, side-eyeing him.

" Sure thing!"

" No way." Twice said two different voices coming out.

" Do it." Dabi snapped.

" If he is going to free the boy, go check on her." Tomrua said glancing at Dabi through the fingers that rested on his face.

" Oh, man." Twice muttered, then approached Bakugo as Dabi went upstairs and Tomrua smirked.

" I do apologize for such forceful methods." Compress told the boy. " But please understand that we aren't some kind of unruly mob committing crimes without a third act in mind." He said politely as Twice undid the bindings holding onto the hothead child. " We didn't kidnap the two of you by accident."
