Love and Sacrifice (Eraserdust/An Eye for An Eye Part 2)

Chapter 10: Held Captive

Tomura was happy he had to work later in the morning rather than having to get up early like he usually did. He had slipped on his work uniform, a black button up with matching skinny jeans and he put on his favorite pair of red sneakers. He grabbed his phone, bluetooth Skullcandy earbuds and wallet with a World of Warcraft design on it and headed out. He listened to Escape the Fate as he walked the streets and looked around at the houses and stores that surrounded him. He shoved his gloved hands into his pockets and tapped his fingers to the beat of 'Gorgeous Nightmare' as he observed the town around him. Most of the houses were two stories and the stores were small family owned grocery markets or gas stations. A few moments later, he had seen the gas station he worked at just ahead.

Suddenly a needle was poked in his neck and someone behind him had shushed him, lulling him into a deep unconsciousness.

-------------------
When Tomura woke up he was bound to a chair in a dark room. His eyes slowly fluttered open, his mind fuzzy and trying to comprehend what happened and the world around him. He looked around and noticed he was in a very dim room. The room he was in would've been pitch black had it not been for the one light that was on. Looking down he realized his arms and legs were cuffed to the chair by quirk nullifying cuffs and his mouth was taped shut. Based on the flooring and the oddly cold air in the room he couldn't help but recognize where he was. If he was correct, he was in one of the abandoned warehouses that he and the League would often use for trades.

It must've been the League and the others! Damn it, if it weren't for these quirk nullifying cuffs, I could decay the chair and get outta here!

He looked around, desperately searching for any possible way to get out of his binds, when he heard a voice.

"Well, well, well", a deep voice emitted from the darkness followed by echoing footsteps. "The very leader who preached on rebelling from hero society, who did everything they could to make sure everything in his path was destroyed, is also dating the pro hero Eraserhead and completely abandoned his plan and team". It was then that the mysterious person had shown himself. It was Tomoyasu, otherwise known as Skeptic. Then, as if on cue, Redestro, Trumpet, Overhaul, and many other villains stepped out of the darkness to show their faces. "Why, pray tell, would someone like you suddenly do something like this?", Skeptic finally added, waving a hand while the other was shoved into his pocket. Tomura's eyes narrowed, grunting in frustration. He had seriously hoped no one would have caught on so fast.

How did they even find out?

Skeptic chuckled. "Oh my, I seem to have forgotten. You can't speak, can you? Allow me", he teased, walking up to Tomura to rip off the tape across his mouth. Tomura grunted at the slight sting of his skin.

"Fuck you", was all Tomura could muster, glaring at Skeptic.

Smack!

Tomura's head whipped to the side hard and his cheek stung badly at the slap Skeptic had just given him. Skeptic tugged on his hair and lowered his face to be near his.

"You may be the leader of the League of Villains but right now your position is on thin fucking ice. I could have you easily replaced like that", Skeptic growled through grit teeth, snapping his fingers at the last word. "And don't even think you can get away with your bullshit attitude here, because while you're sitting in that goddamn chair all tied up we get to take matters into our own hands, do you fucking understand me, leader?"

All Tomura could do was curl his lip and growl at him in frustration. He didn't want to admit it but Skeptic was very good at standing his ground when he was pissed and he loved utilizing that on missions but right now he felt defeated. He didn't want him to be using his toxic talent on him. Skeptic harshly pushed Tomura's head against the back of the chair as he stepped away.

"Don't forget you are under our command now", Skeptic said, his back turned to Tomura. Redestro raised a hand and as if on cue all the lights had turned on, and what Tomura saw horrified him.

"Everyone, I'd like to make sure that he is punished accordingly for such dire actions", Redestro ordered with an evil smirk.
