Hidden cards

Chapter 10: Aces and Unicorns hate Crooked Crows

A/N I'm so happy that I'm not finishing this chapter so god early in the morning like I've done with the other ones just pretty late in the afternoon

I'm so excited for this chapter because we're actually getting some fluff after all the shit I put Izuku through last chapter for his recon mission

PS; Also it's because I've been reading too much angst lately that I needed to write something on the lighter side

There's only slight hurt this chapter but what do you expect when we're still stuck with Overhaul; I can't wait until I can finally get rid of him next chapter

Anyways we finally get to properly introduce Eri in person which I'm so excited for because she's in the top for one of my favorite characters for MHA; That's probably why I try to get her out of that hell hole as fast as I can for many of my stories I'm working on

Also does anyone else have a problems trying to make characters sound younger in your writing because it was a real struggle to make the character sound young and a part of me wants to bang my head on the wall for how many words I had to purposely spell wrong or just trying to figure out the proper grammar a little kid kid uses without losing any of the detail you would get from some of the older character Povs

Anyways here's your trigger warnings for this chapter 

TW: kidnapping, platonic yandere, emotional manipulation, manipulation tactics, cruel punishment, possessiveness, non-consensual touching, non-consensual drugs, underage drug use, Implied throwing up food, Infantizing and patronizing behaviors, mention of human experimentation, sensory deprivation Attempted causing Stockholm syndrome, mentions of past bullying, mentions of past abandonment and child neglect, mentions of current child abuse and neglect, mentions of isolation

I hope you enjoy this chapter

Cryptid out for now

Pov: Izu... Miku..???

It's hard to get information when you are constantly being monitored and when drugs are constantly trying to get into your system but that doesn't really matter when ever since that doctor said those dreaded words to me I started to find ways to fill my once empty hand

After that appointment I studied every second as the world pushed me away; Part of the reason I did this was because I wanted to make a change and I couldn't do that if I didn't learn anything that could work to fill that void that most of the population didn't have.

( I don't like to think about the other reason much but I needed something to stop me from thinking about the constantly dreading loneliness or the overwhelming feeling I would get when Inko acted like she cared )

That's why right after the doctor's diagnosis I absorbed every book I read like a sponge; studying and practicing new skills everyday until my hidden arsenal became a masterpiece to the point no matter how useful or peculiar the skill was I would find ways to make use of it in a multitude of situations

That's probably why my friends always said I had a trick up my sleeve and this time is no different

The drugs were an unexpected struggle I had to overcome since for the first couple of weeks overhaul would put them in small bits of food before switching them out for pill form that I would be forced to eat with my vitamins.

When Overhaul hid them in the bigger pieces of food or just straight up mixed it in the food I knew I couldn't hold my breath so I had to resort to some unique methods ; thankfully I was prepared for any situation after all the books I had myself read when I was younger
