aerie (bakugo katsuki x oc)

chapter 105: double vision

aerie

Alright, it's been hours since I told Katsuki where I was, so I'm starting to wonder why the hell I'm not riding in the back of an ambulance, wrapped in a blanket, chowing down on a bowl of udon as Katsuki and Kiri shower me in statements of love and appreciation already.

   I've done all I can do, now these damn heroes need to step up and do their jobs! How fuckin long does it take for a few useless pros to round up and get to Kyoto? It's a 45 minute train ride! What, are they getting a warrant, or some other stupid hero shit? Whatever it is, these idiots need to hurry the fuck up, I want to go home already.

But just as I'm thinking that to myself, I hear the heavy door of my personal dungeon creak open. In walks good-guy Dabi, along with my new favorite person, Twice. Only, instead of looking out for me and coughing up important information, they glare at me, not seeming very happy, let alone helpful.

I nervously clear my throat, and smile sweetly. "Hey guys," I say, trying to seem as cute and innocent as possible, "What's going on?"

Twice stands by the door, and Dabi walks up to my chair and begins to untie me, neither of them saying a word.

   Uh-oh. This can't be good.

"Where are we going?" I ask, sounding chipper as ever, but inwardly panicking.

"Away from here," Dabi replies.

   Uh-oh, definitely not good!

"Uhh, why?" I ask, trying to seem innocent, like I didn't just spill the beans to the heroes the location their secret hideout.

"I have the same dream every night," Dabi says, seeming annoyed with my presence. "And you're not in it."

Fuck. Maybe I should be more careful about whose dreams I invade next time.

I clear my throat. "Uh, what do you mean?"

"Shut up," he snaps. "Twice told me he gave up the address, so we're getting the fuck out of here."

Okay, this is bad. This is really, really bad! The heroes need to hurry the fuck up and get here already, before I'm locked up for good!

"Open your mouth," Dabi says, with a wad of cloth in his hand.

I shake my head and turn away from him, doing my best to buy all the time I can get.

"Resisting-" he says, as he grabs the sides of my face with his hand and shoves the cloth inside, "-Will get you nowhere." He then takes another strip of cloth and ties it around my head, to keep the gross-tasting wad stuffed in. He finishes untying me from my chair, then grabs me by the arm and shoves me against the wall, tying my hands behind my back forcefully.

   Okay, maybe this is fine when Tomura does it, but right now, it is so not cool.

   Although... it's hard for me not to feel weak in the knees being manhandled like this by someone who isn't exactly unattractive.

   Wait, what am I thinking? Focus, Aerie! You're totally fucked right now, and not in a good way!

   Once I'm bound, Dabi grabs back ahold of my arm and looks to Twice. "Do your thing," he says.

Twice then holds out his hand, and a black sludge comes out and forms another me, also bound and gagged.

I start to see from two sets of eyes, and I'm now staring at myself, at my own shocked expression; which is unsettling to say the least.

   What the fuck kinda quirk is this? It's so creepy!

"Take her upstairs to the control room and hide," Dabi says.
