A broken hero

Ch. 7

Dabis POV

I don't know why I even suggested the music. One moment I was at my desk working on a drawing, I dabble, and I heard humming. When I turned to see why my pet would hum while cleaning I got lost in a trance. My pet was going around and dusting in the maid outfit, which suited him extremely well, he seemed so relaxed and at ease. I even caught sight of a smile.

The only thought I had was that I wanted to see that more. His smile made his whole face light up. I stood and went to get his attention, he froze and as his smile vanished fear took place. I didn't show the sadness at the loss, I stayed neutral and asked him what his favorite music was. Then led him back to my desk where I pulled out my Bluetooth speaker from the drawer.

"Um, I like to listen to Maroon 5, Lincoln park, panic at the disco!, a little bit of everything really." He fidgeted beside me and I took out my phone to sync up with the speaker. I don't know what song to choose but I liked PATD! so I hit a playlist with their songs. Music poured from the system and while I had my phone out I checked the time. 10:00 a.m. I needed to give the kid his shot so his quirk didn't activate.

"Turn around and stay still." I wait for him to obey before I get in the drawer again and grab a syringe. I should have done this earlier, hopefully his quirk doesn't suddenly show. Standing I go up behind the kid and so he doesn't jerk I make this quick. I grab him and hold him to my chest while I stick the needle in his arm. He screams as I inject him, but it takes less than a second before I'm done and let him go.

He cringes away and I go back to my drawing. After a few minutes of silence I turn and see him just standing there. I give him a death look which gets him to go back to cleaning. Deciding to shut off the music when he does. I never let my other pets choose music, why did I let him? For a smile?! I needed to go out and kill something...

Leaning back in my chair, I close my eyes. The boss hadn't contacted us on the plan in weeks. Either he was planning something big, or biding his time, I had no clue. My pent up energy had gone to drawing and going out on my own for entertainment. Other than using my pets of course to entertain me.

It was still too early to go out and destroy something, or someone, without the Heroe's stopping me. With my eyes closed I spun in my chair, trying to think of a cure for my boredom. I stop and fix the chair to face my pet. "Entertain me." I ordered him.

"What do you want me to do?" he stopped his cleaning and stood up. The room was looking a lot better actually, I am not a messy guy at all, but I'm a little disorganized so it tends to look like its a mess. He had straightened some of my books on the shelf, I had figurines of different anime girls and guys, don't judge me.., which were in a cute line on another shelf next to a stack of papers.

"I told you... entertain me pet..." I thought for a moment and smiled. "As a reward I will give you food." At that he walked over to me and asked for some spare change. I dug around in a cup I filled with pencils and paper clips and other junk. I found 2 quarters and a dime to give him.

"Just the quarter will do. Now.. keep an eye on it." he held it between his pointer and middle finger. I snorted, magic? Well, it better be good. As I watched him twirl the coin, it suddenly disappeared.

"Where did it go?" I lean forward and grab his hands. He laughs and tells me I wont find it. "Wanna bet pet?! I'll torture you for a week straight if you don't tell me where it is." I growl and he goes pale.

"Ok, ok. Here, let me go and I will get it." he was quick to get his hands back. "Its right here." he hesitantly but quickly swiped his hand behind my ear and the coin was in his hands once again. I was honestly impressed, I had search him and didn't find the quarter, so he couldn't have hidden it from me. Yet here he had gotten me.

"Cool, what else you got?" I lean back and smirk, it was amusing that he fooled me. The kid looked around the room and went to get a tissue. He placed it over a closed fist and stuffed it down in his hand. When he opened it however, nothing. I burst out laughing, was this kid a natural?!

Standing I went to grab his leash, I would say he earned a little food after the amusement he gave. "Bunny, come here." Glancing beside me I seen that he was already there. I clipped his leash on and led him out to the kitchen. The house wasn't big, it wasn't that small either. So getting from one area to the next didn't take very long.

In the kitchen Toga was already at the stove. I did not ever trust her food, she once tried to feed me a sedative so she could take my blood and then chain me to her wall. The little she devil... Her spikey haired pet looked like he went through a meat grinder, his skin was all cut up and he had sores and bruises on him as well. She had him sitting by her feet wearing nothing but his boxers and a collar.
