25 - Shut Up!

Artwork is Mine.

"Is Miss Jinx going to be okay...?" mumbled a small voice.

"She'll be alright. I'm more worried about you right now you have an intense fever. Here, have some of this." responded a voice.

Groggily I sat up, rubbing my eyes. My right arm stung as I moved, causing my breath to hitch. My right arm was bandaged up a little heavily. I was covered in cuts and bruises, some more serious cuts were bandaged up while others were cleaned and left exposed. Similar to my arm, my left leg was also bandaged up more than the rest of my wounds. Shifting I felt a sting in my left leg. The spike going through it during the battle snapped into my head. Well... that explains that.

Glancing around I took in the room I was in. It was a bedroom, this was indicated by the twin sized bed that I was currently sitting on. The walls were a numbing gray almost blurring together as I looked around. Along the wall to my left was a wooden closet, the doors were shut. Next to the closet was what seemed to be the door leading in and out of the room. The room was rather empty as I scanned the very few things in it. To my right was a small slit window, you couldn't really see anything outside of it as it was tinted. In front of the window was a tan couch with a pile of blankets and pillows on top of it.

Laying on said pile was little Eri. She was sitting up holding what seemed to be a bowl of soup. She looked rather... unwell. Her cheeks were pink, her eyes were hooded as she looked like she wanted to pass out. Her eyes met mine, her face lit up just a little. The horn on her head was really small, similar to the first time I met her. I swear it was bigger last I saw her... how long was I out? Did it shrink or was it cut?

Standing near her was Kurogiri. He watched as she sipped at the soup. When her eyes caught mine he followed her gaze. Relief seemed to wash over him as his posture relaxed a bit.

"You're awake. How do you feel?" he questioned, it only took a couple steps for him to reach the bed.

"Drained..." I mumbled, "How long have I been out?"

"An hour at most." he responded, glancing at my bandages.

I let out a small sigh of relief, that wasn't too long at least. Sitting there I tried racking through my thoughts about what happened before I blacked out. We got in Overhauls base, found the kid. Birdbrain kept launching spikes at us resulting in all of my stupid wounds. We fell at some point... that's where I saw Vendetta's limp body. Vendetta was working with the heroes.

Glancing up at Kurogiri, I gave him a slightly saddened expression. He talks about her like family. What is he going to think when he finds out she's betrayed them... Cracking echoed through my head as the image of her limp body falling onto Chronos dead one played in my head. What is he going to think when he finds out I hurt her...

"I don't want to rush you Ketsuki." He said, completely unaware of my encounter with Vendetta and the heroes, "But if you could we could use some information on how you and Dabi got Eri."

"Couldn't Dabi tell you guys?" I questioned.

"He isn't exactly cooperating at the moment." Kurogiri responded, "If you're up to it. Shigaraki would like the information now if possible."

I tried to rack my brain for what happened next. My vision was blurry and my thoughts were a mess after Vendetta's body cracked. I remember blood, blue flames and purple swirls. Obviously we got into the bar. Slayer's fur snapped into my head. Then a golden glow overwhelmed the image of Slayer. Shaking my head slightly I snapped myself back into reality. What does he mean by Dabis not cooperating?

"What's wrong with Dabi?" Shifting, I moved my legs so that they were hanging off the bed. My left leg stung but it seemed alright enough to walk on.

"Something occurred after you guys got back. After you passed out he's gone rather quiet." Kuorgiri responded, seeming unsure of how to word things.
