A Little Mouse

Chapter 54

Shigaraki did not exactly look pleased as Rin smiled softly at him once the room was empty and Re-Destro was gone. But he did slouch in his chair and looked more relaxed now which was nice to see as she and Dabi stood before him.

"Took you long enough to wake up," Shigaraki said, which earned an eye roll from her.

"Yes yes I get it, I slept for too long. You still did not answer my question. How are you feeling?" She asked, finally slipping out from under Dabi's possessive arm. Her attention moved to his right hand. Yep just as she remembered as she carefully examined the hand that was missing half its digits. There was nothing she could do about missing parts, that would require a much stronger healing quirk than what she could barely do with hers. Moving her eyes over to his other hand and arm she took in the bandages that were wrapped around it. She could only imagine how damaged his skin was due to over using his quirk. Once again that was not something she could fix. She could help speed up the healing a small bit but she could not make the skin as good as new. His left foot was in a cast, it seemed he must have broken it like she thought when she first saw it. He was in rough shape, but alive. That lifted a pressure off of her shoulders. The fact that they had all survived that battle, how, she did not know but she was incredibly relieved.

"I'm fine," was the grumble she got as Shigaraki tried to shake her and her concern off. Rather literally as he pressed the palm of his damaged hand into her face, forcing her to lean back and away from him.

"Okay. Well then what was so important that it had you waiting for me to wake up?" She asked as she stood up and felt Dabi walk up behind her before an arm wrapped around her waist to pull her back against his chest. The slight rock of Dabi's hips against her ass earned the man a smack with the back of her left hand.

"The League of Villains has taken over the Meta Liberation Army. A new name has already been chosen. I'll announce it at a grand meeting in a few days. So far I have chosen nine people to be my lieutenants. Each person will have a team and a job. And you will be my tenth," Shigaraki said, which had the woman blinking her eyes shockingly at him.

From kidnapped stranger to a trusted friend. Okay friend may have been too generous of a term for the weird relationship they had. But she would like to think that was what she would call everyone but Dabi. Yet as she stood there dumbfounded she watched Shigaraki's eyes slowly become slits. Oh he was expecting her to say something. Probably thank him.

"Thank you for the opportunity. But I have to turn it down. I will always help you Shigaraki. But I am Dabi's. If I am going to stand beside and be anyone's right hand it is his," she admits. She knows in a way it was an admission that her loyalty only lies with Dabi. And that clearly irritates the man as she watches his eyes glare at her. And she was sure if the bandages were not wrapped around his face, she would have been able to see a muscle throb at his temple.

She could tell her words pissed off one man, but pleased the other. If the growing hard cock against the top of her ass was anything to go off of. She wanted to turn around and smack the pyro. She wasn't sure if he was being turned on by her and her feelings for him, or knowing the fact that Shigaraki was mad he could not have her complete loyalty. Both idiots could be so childish.

For a solid minute Shigaraki was silent. And she was almost happy he was in such a rough shape. As she almost expected the man to jump at her in his anger. But to her amazement he gave a huff and almost seemed to just admit he had lost this battle.

"Fine. I will have you placed in Dabi's team then," he growled at her. At least he wasn't grinding his teeth as he spoke. That earned the pale haired man a warm and wide smile from the woman.

"Thank you for understanding Shigaraki," she said as she smiled, her head tilting slightly as she watched the man still frown at her. But at least he didn't look like he wanted to kill her any more.
