Always By Your Side (Izuocha)

Chapter 5: Shutdown

*Toga's POV*

I back away from the window. A tear falls down my cheek. (Yes I peeped on Izu-kun again. Shut up.) Why? Why would he do this? He still doesn't love me? But how? I look at the used condom in my hand. But I even let him do me! My eyes fill with rage as a peer back at the pink cheeked brunette sitting on her bed. I am no longer a villain... I think. But that girl there... Must... Die...

*Ochaco's POV*

I sit on my bed, as I touch my fingers to my lips. I. No. He. No again. WE?! WE'RE TOGETHER?! I bounce a little on my bed, gleefully minding my business until I see blonde hair in my window.

"Eh?" I stand up, looking in the hair's direction.

"AGH!" The hair swings away after the scream. I run to my window and open it. Poking my head out, I see a home made ladder on the floor, with a blonde headed girl sitting on her butt, holding her head. "Owie..."

"Hey! Are you alright?" She looks up at me, furious.

"Don't speak to me, slut!" She walks away, ladder in one hand, and head in the other. Taken aback, I close my window. I feel like I've seen her before... Meh. Whatever.

I sit at my desk, and I just smile. What an eventful day. I look out the door and see the sun going down. Wow. These anime days go by fast huh? I frown. Anime days? What anime? I shrug the weird thought away, and go to Momo's room to talk about the recent events.

*???'s POV*

I scratch my neck vigorously, as Twice, Spinner, and Black Mist sit in front of me. Dabi stands in the back, overcast by the shadows. You can only see his face, emotionless.

"You mean to tell me not only that she gave the brat all of our information, but also you can't find her?..." They nervously nod. I slam on the table, tipping over Twice's drink.

"Shit! Aye, don't worry, we'll find her. I have duplicates searching the city right now—"

"SHE SHOULD ALREADY BE FOUND, DAMNIT!" I scream. They look at me fearfully. I am completely enraged. The door to the bar opens, and smoke enters as our best client walks in, grinning.

"If I overheard correctly, you need to find someone. Correct?" I look at him, but don't respond. "Boy, do I have the person for you." He gives his signature evil smile, then opens the door wider. A little boy walks in, head down. He looks like he's 8 years old.

"What the fuck is this?" Dabi grunts. The boy looks up, and everyone except for the collector gasps. His face is completely nonexistent, he just has a flat face, nothing there.

"Just wait." The collector starts. "Show them your trick, boy." The small child steps forward.

The boys body seems to bulge, his shirt rips open, and his pants shred to pieces. The boy no longer looks human. He looks like a giant monster, with a gaping mouth with huge, jagged teeth. Then his skin where his eyes should be open, like mouths with more teeth, and glowing purple eyes show.

The smiling collector says, "This is my most recent masterpiece. Code name: Search and Destroy." He pauses. "Real name: Shutdown."

I gleefully walk around the project. "What's the cost?" I face him.

"This one only costs you if he works. The cost if he works," he decides, "Is your targets. Alive. I want to use them as my next projects." I raise an eyebrow. "And yes, you may torture them." I smile.

"Deal."
