Glitch (Hawks)

Chapter 2: Death?

(I have no idea how the legal system works bear with me)

It had been a few weeks since my incarceration. Since then, I had picked up several habits. One of them was breaking clocks. In our cell, we had a clock. I decided that I couldn't stand the fact it was there, so I would grab it and throw it on the ground, shattering it. Then, I would complain endlessly to the guards that our clock was broken. Everytime I would repeat the cycle, Lady Nagant would chuckle.

I couldn't even count how many clocks I had received and then proceeded to destroy. At some point, they stopped handing me the classic glass clocks; They opted to hand me cheap plastic ones. It was funny to me; How just little action could bring someone such joy, yet another anguish.

Eventually though, they simply stopped giving us clocks. They finally must've been tired of my shenanigans. I laughed to myself.

Though, it seems I had finally gotten them to run out of patience, because one afternoon, they grabbed me by the neck and told me: "We're bringing you to the trial room." Oh... These were not words I was looking forward to hearing. I turn to Lady Nagant, and she does not seem very happy. Quite the opposite, in fact. I give her an awkward smile, as I get dragged out of the room by the guards.

They bring me to the court room. There, I see some heroes. Eraserhead, Endeavor, and All Might. The three heroes who had brought me to justice. Of course they're here. Ugh... They were the last people I wanted to see right now. The guards walk me up to the stand. Then, the trial begins.

"The evidence will be displayed on screen." And then, a large screen flashed on and displayed images of me. Upon further inspection, they were of the day I was finally brought to justice. I looked horrifying; A creepily smile on my face as blood splashed everywhere around me. Eh, at least I looked hot doing it, I thought. "As you can see, they have murdered multiple people. She deserves to stay incarcerated," I heard a politician say. I didn't pay attention; Not much point. I knew how this was going to end. Either I would die, or stay incarcerated for the rest of my life.

The trial continued, though I don't know what any of them said. I didn't bother to pay attention. I had other things to think about. Though, suddenly, I heard a hammer bang against a table. "I sentence this villain, Glitch, to death." Ah, they chose the first option. Oh, well.

"Do you have anything to say, Glitch, before we send you back to your cell to await your death tomorrow?" Before I could respond, Endeavor spoke. "Did you enjoy committing those atrocities?" Of course he was gonna ask that. I sighed loudly. Then, I went to respond. "Yes, I did, it was a lot of fun. If I could do it again, I would. One of the best things I've ever done," I said, casually. Yes, commiting war crimes was an everyday activity, to me at least.

"You know how much of a sadistic bitch that makes you, right?" Damn, this conversation felt scripted. Almost as if someone wrote it in their spare time... Nah, this is real life. "Says the guy who beats his wife..." Endeavor seemed shocked I brought up his failling marriage. "How-" "What motivated you to do this," Eraserhead asked, trying to stop Endeavor from starting a fight and embarassing himself in front of the court and TV reporters. "Motivation... Boredom, probably," I said. The whole court room went silent. They seemed shocked I did this out of... Boredom.

"Before y'all drag me back to my cell," I started, "I'd like you guys to know was pushed me to become a villain." The whole court room looked at me with curiosity, but especially the heroes. "Do you people know how the hero public safety commission operates?" Silence. None of them knew. They were all clueless idiots. "To keep society safe, the commission trains children, secretly of course, to become heroes. Or rather, tools. We are not heroes; We are nothing but glamorous tools for the commission to use to eliminate everyone who poses a threat to their ideals." The heroes looked at me, even more curious about what I had to say. "I don't think I could even count how many people I killed for them. Villains, corrupt heroes... I've killed plenty of both." I sighed, then continued. "But I couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't stand seeing children and other people look up to me, not knowing how much blood was on my hands. So one day, i just decided to become a villain. So that I could have the freedom of doing whatever i wanted, and not being some puppet to the commission." I mostly added that part since they were TV reporters in the room, which means a lot of people would see it and cause unrest and confusion. "You... Became a criminal because you couldn't stand the fact that people were looking up to you even though you were a murderer?" All Might spoke. After a few moments, Endeavor piped up. "That's patheti-" He was cut off by a loud explosion. It had begun, All for One's riot had started. This was my signal to get up and try to escape. Small problem, they're were heroes here. I thought for a few seconds before deciding to try anyways. This was probably going to be your only shot at escape.

I got up, and started running. Surprisingly, the doors out of the room were not locked. So, I went out and continued running. I ran into Lay Nagant. "I was looking for you! Come on, the escape route is this way!" She yelled, and started to run. I followed her. After a short bit of running, I saw a hole in the wall; No doubt caused by an explosion. We ran out of the hole, and into freedom. We saw other escapees; And several guards opening fire on them. We ran past them, and encountered All for One. "Virus... It has been a long time since I last saw you," he said. A shiver ran down my spine, but I ignored it. "It has. I guess being in prison kinda made it harder to meet up." All for One turned away, before walking towards Lady Nagant.

After our little chat with All for One, Lady Nagant and I headed towards the mainland. Well, I should say Lady Nagant, some guy, and I. She decided to bring some other guy by the name Kai Chisaki along. I don't know who he is, but if Nagant thinks he might be useful, then I guess he can come.

Once on land, we went to go find some gear. After all, since we had escaped Tartarus, we were wanted criminals and would need to defend ourselves. Though it seems the heroes have seen better days... The city is completely destroyed and only ruins remain. It was completely silent; Only the sound of rubble falling could be heard.
