Written Death

Part 7~A Warning

Charlie did not know how to deal with this shit. The detectives had been questioning her for hours. She wasn't a natural liar. Finally, when she was free, Izuku grabbed her and threw her onto the roof. "Are you going to tell me why you stopped me?" Izuku glared at Charlie, crossing his arms over his chest.

Charlie had the nerve to not look guilty at all. "Killing him wouldn't work with our mission."

Izuku gave Charlie a harsh look. "And letting Stein get captured does?"

Charlie opened and closed her mouth. "Well, no. That wasn't the plan."

"And trying to get me captured was?"

Charlie gulped, stepping back. "I had to maintain my cover." Charlie let out a yelp as Izuku pushed a knife to her throat.

"I thought I told you to not get distracted. You're there to spy, not make friends or be a hero. When we're done, you're dropping out of that school. Understood?" Izuku waited but Charlie refused to look at him. "Understood?!"

"Yeah. Understood."

Izuku was not convinced. He turned away, walking to the edge and jumping off. Charlie sighed, laying on her back.

"Man, imagine if he knew that Todoroki was suspicious."

~~~

Todoroki was watching Charlie. He hadn't taken his eyes off her since the Stein incident. With Iida's death came a whole new level of paranoia in the school. They had dorms to stay in and were preparing for the exams.

Yaoyorozu had offer to tutor the class, a fact Charlie was slightly exploiting and at every study session, Todoroki was there, watching her. It was getting a little creepy.

"Dude, what's your problem with Charlie?" It was a necessary question for Kaminari to ask.

"It's nothing but, have you noticed she doesn't react if you hit her?"

Kirishima frowned. "She definitely does. It's normally the reaction of 'I shall break your nose'."

Todoroki gave Kirishima a small look. "That's during sparring. The rest of the time she doesn't notice. It's weird."

"It's a medical condition." Charlie grinned as she appeared out of no where. "And yes, it is a problem."

Kaminari looked confused. "A medical condition?"

"Yep. Can't feel a thing, not even a hug. Have to do really careful checks after training to make sure someone didn't stab me without noticing but we live. On a different, less personal and invasive topic, did you hear we'll be fighting robots?! It's gonna be so fun!"

"It's an exam," Yaoyorozu corrected as Charlie shrugged.

"It can be both."

"I still can't help but be nervous. My Quirk isn't exactly suited for combat." Jiro twisted her earphone jacks in her hands as Charlie gaped, hugging Jiro tightly.

"No! You're amazing! Trust me, you're more capable than you think. You too, Yao-momo."

Yaoyorozu hid her face as doubt plagued her.

"Don't you guys think its weird how the school is continuing like nothings happened?" Kaminari leaned against his hands as he stretched on the couch. "I mean, outside more partrols, we're continuing like normal, even though Iida's dead."

"Not true. We also promoted Yao-Momo and selected a new vice-representative." Charlie grinned proudly as Kaminari gave her a look.

"That's not the type of action I'm talking about. It's just weird."
