Marionette and the Blue Demon (Rewritten)

Chapter 39 New Mission

-Airmed-

I had fallen asleep while waiting. What could have hours could have just been mer minutes. my body was still numb, but i could already feel eyes on me, and finally, my body snapped. Realization set in, I've been captured by the heroes.

I looked up, and my eyes difted over a man with dried out eyes and long black hair staring at me.

"Hey," the man spoke. He was almost in my face. I backed my head up to get him into focus, darting between his eyes. I was scared. This was the man with the ribbon that was wrapped around me when i tried to make the burly man drop Megumi. "Mind telling me who you are and what you were doing there?" He asked.

My body shook a little bit, I didn't know how to respond. I looked down, and my mind wondered if Dabi and Hawks were okay.

"Hey, answer me!" The man growled. I looked back with fearful eyes.

"Aizawa, give the girl a chance." I looked over and saw a familiar buff man with blonde hair. He was wearing his red, white, and blue uniform. Almight.

The man named Aizawa backed up and crossed his arms. With a sigh, he finally spoke again.

"Airmed. Can you at least tell us you had nothing to do with the explosions?" He asked. I looked up at him and was confused.

"Explostions." I felt my face crinkle with confusion.

"The explosions that happened at the Nato Mall!?" Aizawa yelled at me.

I shook my head. "No, I didn't." I spoke softly.

Almight smiled. "See, I told you so! She doesn't seem like that type of person." He said proudly.

"I don't know who did it, but i...." I stopped myself, granted I was with Dabi and never left my home. Dabi is considered as a villain they would lock him up the moment the same him. "I was at home all month with someone." I mumbled.

"I see." Almight answered.

I looked down, I felt like I was a burden to everyone. I might have been the reason why there was a fire to the apartment. That had to be the reason. otherwise, the water quirks led had put it out easily, or the fire quirked people would stop it from over burning the boiler room. They wanted to draw me out.

My eyes started to water. I was worried. I was worried about Dabi. Did he come looking for me? I was worried about Megumi and Chisake. They just lost their home. The men back away from me and were talking. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but all I wanted to do was cry.

Tears finally overflowed over and rolled down my cheeks. Almight knelt down in front of me. "Young lady, would you like to go home?" He asked. I looked up at him and he saw my tears. "Oh no, don't cry, young one. You're safe now." I sniffed.

"Mr. All might." I spoke with a cracky voice. "I would like to go home." I started to sob, and all he could do was place his hand on my shoulder. He wasn't even sure what to do.

After a while, I started to calm down. Aizawa and Almight left the room while I was still in the chair. I was starting to get bored and tired and was going in and out of sleep.

"Oh my little dolly," my body stiffened. I knew that voice. All too well, it was Ironbull's. My eyes darted around the room, trying to find him.

'Oh God, please.. No' I was screaming in my head.

"Oh, my little doll."

My body tremble, I could feel the blood pool into my feet, my heart racing. I was scared.

"I have missed you, my little doll." Bull knew that it was scaring me and enjoyed every minute of it.

Finally, I heard a door open behind me, and I could tell it was a strong body type. I was praying it was almight, but finally, he walked into the light. His dark skin, evil brown eyes, and his dark hair finally told me it's was Iron Bull.

-Dabi-

I kicked open the door to the hideout, and everyone was silent. Toga was playing some bored game with Spinner and mag while shiggy was just playing on handle.

Everyone's eyes darted to me. "Dabi?" Toga was the first to speak up. She looked past me and around. When she couldn't find who she was looking for, she jumped up from her seat.

"Where is Reiki?" Everyone started looking to see if she was gonna come through the door behind me.

"I'm not sure. Let's ask our fearless leader where she is?" My voice came out smug like. Like I KNEW he knew what happened.

He never took his eyes off his hand held. "I don't even know ow what you're talking about, zombie man?" He mocked back.

I felt my teeth grind against one another. "Yes, you do! You're the one who had hatred to her! You're the one who sent her on a so-called mission to retrieve food when you GOD DAMN KNEW THAT SHE COULD HAVE GOT CAUGHT" I could see flames spitting out with every word.

Shigarki's beady red eyes finally looked up from his Gameboy and periced right into my. I could see that he was glare and wasn't enough to make me stop.

"YOU WERE THE ONE!"

"I DIDNT FUCKING SAY ANYTHING DABI!" His voice cracked from yelling I never heard him yell before. At least not to any of us.

I stood there stunned. I felt the blood pooled into my feet. My mouth dried as I gapped like a fish.

"If.....if not you then."

"I did." The TV flashed on with static as the picture. I felt my head wip to the TV. The voice of AFO repeated again. "I was the one."

The room staired at the TV, which, oddly enough, I wasn't the first to speak.

"Why, master?! You got rid of our only healer!" Shiggy threw is Gameboy at the TV in a fit. "She-" AFO cut him off.

"I brought you a better one that fits our purpose, one that can use the Nemus better than that redhead." His voice was monotone like he didn't care that he sent Airmend off to her death. I could feel my knuckles pop under the pressure of me squeezing my fist shut.

"What happened to a life for a life?!?" Toga stomped her foot.

"She proved this life isn't for her, when my little spys said she talked with half and half hero."

My heart stopped at his words. There was no way she would have betrayed any of us.

"You'll find you new healer downstairs already working on the Nemu for the next mission."

"But mas -" but before Shigarki could finish, the screen turned black, and the sound of static was gone.

I held my breathe and before I could let it out. I heard Splicer speak out. "We can't let them harm red." I could see his fangs digging into his lip. The lizardman was very fond of Airmed. Hell, they were. But what surprised me the most was Shigarki.

Shigarki's beady red eyes locked on to me. "Looks like we are in need of a rescue mission."

"But Tomura shig-" Kurogurmi was trying to warn.

"Now come on, Kurogurmi. Don't tell me you don't like her." His voice was slightly teasing.

"I...." For once, it was the first time I heard that fog man stumbled crossed his words. "It's not that I don't like the little miss Reiki-"

Shigarki cut him off. "Airmed McFarland." He picked up the smashed game boy off the floor before turning it to dust. "It's not like we all don't know who she really is." He turned and looked everyone over.

He was right. Everyone knew but was trying to make sure she didn't know that they knew.

"Doesn't matter what we call the little sister. What we need is a plan." Megumi stood up from her chair.

Everyone looked to me. I could feel my inner flames calm slightly, "I think I might have a friend that can help us get in."
