Missing

~03~

It had been about ten minutes until Shinous heard a car pulling up and parking at the street. This didn't go unnoticed by Kaminari as he sat up and began to panic. "They found us! They found us! They're going to take me back! I don't want to go back!" He kept muttering and began to hyperventilate with tears streaming down his cheeks. 

Shinous grabbed onto Kaminari's sides, keeping Kaminari next to him on the old yellow slides. Shinous had somehow convinced Kaminari to sit on the slide with him, so Shinous could keep an eye out for Mr. Aizawa's car. Shinous had been laying down on the slide with Kaminari, who had been laying nearly on top of him while keeping Shinous's arm tight against his chest, was now sitting up and hyperventilating. "Hey, hey! It's okay! I promise!" Shinous said as he sat up and held tightly onto his sides to prevent him from getting up and running. 

One thing that Shinous had noticed was burn marks from some type of rope or restraints around his wrists, stomach and ankles. He couldn't tell if there were any other marks, but the marks that were there were bad. They had to be there for at least a month or something. Not to mention, when they sat on the slide, he easily saw that Kaminari's legs were weak and he wasn't in any shape to move or run around, so him panicking and wanting to run wasn't a good idea. 

"They found me! They're going to take me back! They're going to take me back to that room!" He cried as he began to really struggle to breathe. He gripped his chest as he looked around, his vision completely blurry from the tears and the panic filled in his head. 

Shinous wrapped his arms around Kaminari and pulled him into a hug, trying to calm him down as Mr. Aizawa came out of the car and began to rush towards them. "You need to calm down... it's just Mr. Aizawa... he's going to-"

He was cut off as Kaminari pointed towards the gate, letting a shout out as he used his quirk and shot a large and powerful bolt of electricty to the gate. His finger and hand now completely covered with burns. Mr. Aizawa paused and covered his face as the lightning hit the gate. He looked up and looked at the two in shock and confusion.

"Stay there! He's not safe to be near right now!" Shinous shouted towards Mr. Aizawa as he gripped Kaminari tighter, grabbing his hand and pulling it in between them. "You need to calm down!" 

"I won't go back! I won't! I won't help them! I won't help-" Kaminari was cut of from his shouting as Shinous shook him and got his attention by shaking him.

"KAMINARI!! Look at me!" Shinous shouted as he forced him to look back at him. While they were shouting at each other, Mr. Aizawa walked through the gate, which opened from the blast. He was careful not to touch the hot metal. "We're just trying to help you! Please! Just calm down and look at me!" 

Kaminari tried to get his hands out of his grip, until he let a few more tears out as he looked back up at him. His eyes filled with fear and terror as he choked out, "I don't want to go back... not back to that room!" 

Shinous took a deep breath, holding it as he saw Mr. Aizawa slowly and carefully making his way towards them without getting Kaminari's attention. He looked back at Kaminari, who was sobbing at this point, and let the breath go. "Kaminari, we won't let you go back... I promise...! We'll take you back to safety... to UA where we can help you!" Shinous spoke softly as he tried keeping him calm as Mr. Aizawa got closer. 

Kaminari looked at him before looking back at Mr. Aizawa. "You... you promise? You promise I won't go back...? After everything I've done...?" He choked out as he balled his fists and pulled his legs closer to him. 

"Kaminari," Mr. Aizawa spoke up, as he was only a few feet away from them now and was listening the whole time, "you did nothing wrong. You just need to come back to UA with us so we can help you." 

Mr. Aizawa held a hand out for him, but was ready to cancel his quirk at any moment. Kaminari stared at his hand before looking back up at Mr. Aizawa. He let a soft nod before Mr. Aizawa walked closer and helped Kaminari stand up. Shinous ready to catch or grab Kaminari as they began to make their way to the car.
