Songbirds Song

Grown up

Eri was sound asleep, it's been an since the first rescue attempt. Eri had hoped they gave up...even if she wanted to escape and get away from overhaul. She never wanted anyone getting hurt because of her, so she'll gladly stay if it means others are safe and happy.

"!!?" Eri jolts up hearing her bedroom door open, "eri, it's time to run some tests..." Overhaul says as he was creating a new drug and was using eri as a test dummy. "...." Eri's eyes were full of fear, yet before she could say or do anything overhaul gives her a glare. "Come on. I don't have all day...do I need to reset-" overhaul starts and eri goes pale and stands up instantly running over to overhaul. She hated when he reset her...after all that was just him killing her and reviving her so she didn't die permanently...and it hurt so much each time. "Good girl" overhaul says leading eri into a room and gestures for her to sit in that fucking chair.

Eri stares at the chair, and sits down. The moment she sat down overhaul straps her down to the chair. Eri was used to this by now, and the moment her restraints were on her brain instantly went into protection mode causing her to disassociate in attempt to help her cope with the fear and trauma. She soon fell a sharp burning sensation in her arm and she starts scream in pain while something was injected into her, soon she was coughing up blood and having a seizure. It took her awhile but soon her rewind healed her completely and she was okay. "Hm, no no no that won't do..." Overhaul sighs, "alright we'll work out the kinks and make it safer..." Overhaul says. This went on for hours, by the end of eri eri was so sore and felt like her insides were on fire. Eri just bites her lip trembling doing her best to keep quiet. Eri was so tired, she's been living a life that she wanted to curse and she didn't know how much more she was able to take.

Mean while, Kota and the rest of the hero's were finally getting ready. "So what's your plan to get her out?" Hemika asks, "we'll try and convince her to trust us and come with me obviously...but if that doesn't work then knock her out and carry her to safety" Kota yawns. "But I doubt it'll come to that...I think letting her know that we're here to help her will get through" Kota shrugs and looks at hemika. "Don't you think that would scare her if you knocked her out?" The girl asks, "maybe...but I'd rather make it up to her for knocking her out and her be safe than do nothing and let her get away again." Kota says and hemika nods agreeing and holds Kota's hand. "I'm scared..." She admitted and Kota rubs her head, "you're just evacuating the town... don't worry okay? No one will hurt ya" he smiles.

"Everyone ready?" Deku asks and everyone nods. "8:35 pm. Rescue start" he says and with that everyone rushed in. This time the hassaikai didn't have any intell on this rescue as they thought the hero's gave up. So, luckily Kota had an easy time getting to eri. "Knock knock" the male says entering only to see a girl with blueish-grey hair, ruby eyes, skin as pale as snow, and a horn on the left side of her forehead. *Holy shit she's hot-* Kota thinks to himself quickly shaking off the thought. She was Terrified, that much was obvious "I'm Kota Izumi, hero name water jet. It's been sometimes and we're sorry it took us awhile to stage another rescue" he says, eri seemed more scared. "N-no...you need to leave! Please! You still have time...run while you can! Please... he's gonna kill you" eri pleads.

"Sure I'll leave and go somewhere safe. But you're going with me." Kota says approaching the girl. "You say you don't want anyone to die? Well then come with us. And I promise no one will die...but if you keep refusing to let us save you then we'll keep coming back...over and over no matter how many people die we won't stop until you're safe" Kota says standing in front of the girl. "...I'm a curse...a burden...just leave me...please" eri pleads looking up at the male tearing up. "Please! He's gonna be here any second...go! Just leave me!" She says as loud as her soft voice would let her. She rarely spoke so her voice was really raspy. Kota sighs lifting eri's head gently, "sorry 'bout this...I promise I'll make it up to you okay?" He says sorrowful, eri just seemed confused when Kota hit one of her pressure points. He used just enough force to knock her out with the pressure point without hurting her.

"There..." He says, he then grabs something and injected it into eri. Unfortunately, using just the pressure points wasn't enough to keep her asleep. After all it would take 5 minutes to wake up, even less if there was too much noise and movement. So using a strong tranquilizer should keep her asleep for the rest of the night. "There you go" Kota picks eri up and carries her out of the room, he ended up having to hide. As eri was right, it didn't take long for overhaul to find out they were under atta. The villain instantly went to retrieve eri, he seemed panicked and pissed when eri was there. *Damn... getting eri out of here isn't gonna be easy...but at least it's doable now that she can't fight me on it...* Kota thinks.
