A Far Away Place in a Dream

Chapter 3

I woke up, tucked into a bed, as I sat up the door opened. 

"Hey kid, you good?" I heard a gruff voice speak to me. I turned my attention to the door and saw the blue eyed man standing there. 

"Yea, I'm fine. Sorry." I said quietly and went to get up. 

"What's your name, kid?" He walked over and handed me a bowl of what looked to be soup.

"552 or Sari." I mumbled and then started eating. He got visibly upset but he masked it quickly. 

"Name's Dabi, kid." I said and sat down in the chair that I just now noticed was by the bed. We sat in silence as I ate and as soon as I was done he grabbed the bowl and gestured me to follow him. I got up and walked with him as I normally would do with Overhaul. "You can talk to me, ya know that, right kid?"

"There's not much to say..... Has he shown up yet?" I asked hesitantly fiddling with my shirt. He stopped and turned to face me, he patted my head and then kept walking. He didn't say a word.

"Hey kiddo, glad to see you are up and moving." Shigaraki said as we stepped into the main area. I broke off of Dabi and walked over to him.

"Yea, thanks. So what's my assignment, surely you didn't grab me for no reason." As I spoke his face turned from shock to sad to understanding. 

"It seems the heroes are making a move to get that girl." A voice from the TV said. My mind raced, was Eri in danger?!

"I need to go there, I have to protect her! Please take me there!" I begged and looked at him.

"Kurogiri." Is all the voice said from the computer and a portal opened below me.

"Thank you!" I said as I fell through. I came out in mid air, I angled my body to shoot towards Eri once I found her surrounded by heroes and Overhaul was standing next to her. Landing slightly behind Eri, I pulled her close to me using one set of my wings. "Wrap your arms around me." 

"Sari!" She said happily and wrapped her arms around me. I ran to the ledge and dodged Overhauls hands as I jumped off my bigger wings opened to slow my fall. Landing softly the heroes flocked to me, I let out a growl and glared at them as I held her closer. "Sari is a friend but he's protective of me." She explained and they all turned their attention to Overhaul. Eri managed to convince me to go to the hero that was injured.

"Sir are you ok?" She said kneeling down beside him. I stood behind her and faced the battle going on, just in case I had to move her I wrapped my tail around her wrist. 

"I am alright, kiddo. Who's that you got there?" He asked and her response was the same from before. A male with yellow glasses and a scarf was running towards us. I took a defensive posture and growled. "He's one of my colleagues." I heard the male say and I let down my defenses for a second and let him pass. 

"Sir Nighteye! Are you ok?" He said and looked down at him. They proceeded to talk but I wasn't paying attention to them. Eri stood up and wrapped her arms around my leg.  I wrapped her up in my wings and she seemed comfortable enough. When the battle was over the ambulances came and rushed Nighteye to the hospital. The black haired man with yellow glasses walked over to us with the green haired boy from the alleyway. 

"Hey we need to take you two to the hospital as well to make sure you didn't suffer any injuries. How about Eri goes with Deku and you can come with me?" He said and I narrowed my eyes. 

"I stay with her." My words came out harsher than intended but it seemed like he got the point cause he ran a hand over his face and groaned. 

"Look kid I cant do that-" Before he could speak anymore, I repeated myself this time louder and one set of my wings spread out in a threatening posture. Eri tugged on my sleeve to get me to calm down but I stood firm in my decision. "Fine. Come with me." He said in defeat and walked us over to an ambulance.

 I picked her up and got into the ambulance, sitting on the bed with her in my lap, the people couldn't even get close to her the entire ride to the hospital, I admit I was overreacting but frankly I don't care. They tried touching my wings to see if I sustained any damage but I kept shrugging them off with every chance I got.  We got to the hospital and they kept saying we had to be in separate rooms. 

"Alright. I've had enough. Special Move Impenetrable Dome." I said those words and a dome of purple light surrounded us I sat down on the floor and held Eri in my lap. I watched as one nurse tried to touch the barrier and ended up being tossed across the room from the backlash. 

"Are we being to difficult?" Eri asked worriedly.

"Nah, just me. But they should understand that they can't take us apart after a traumatic event like this. This is on them, I am just making sure they see that." I said and patted her head. I felt my power fluctuate and I turned my attention back on the dome, I pushed more of my power into it as I felt I was getting weaker. I pushed myself so hard that I started getting a nose bleed but eventually I overpowered whatever it was that was making me feel weak. 

"Hey kid. How did you do that?" The black haired male asked as he stepped in front of the dome and looked at me. His eyes were red now so I think its a safe assumption that he was making me feel weak. 

"I overpowered it, but now I don't feel so good." My body started swaying and my eyes threatened to close. "If I pass out, please don't take Eri away from me, I don't know what I'll do without her. I'm begging you, please." As soon as I finished that sentence I collapsed on the floor and Eri called out to me. Black spots entered my vision until the consumed me.
