Ch. 25: The UA Traitor

"I'm going to make sure you won't come after me, I can't have you die because I don't have control."

Aizawa held her wrist with both hands trying to pry them off.

A small squeak in the floor caused her to turn quickly, but not quick enough as a bat came in contact with her head knocking her out cold.

Mic lowered the wood to the floor with glassy eyes. As a tear poured over he wiped it immediately with his sleeve.

"You okay, Sho?"

"Yeah," He rubbed his neck with his hand then looked down at Tigris. "We can't let her leave."

"I agree." Mic knelt down at Tigris picking her up and holding her close. "I'm so sorry Tigris..."

"We're going to have to move her to a more secure area. We don't have anything to properly hold her here."

"What about All Might?"

"Leave him, he'll be a distraction around the night goers. We can at least hide and move a bit more swiftly."

Tigris slowly opened her eyes to bright blinding fluorescent lights. She squinted for a moment then realized she had little movement to her. Her hands were in cuffs that were stuck in a small ring on the table. She pulled on them using her animal strength, even though she knew better. They'd prepare for this.

Besides the chair she sat in and the table she was linked to, another chair sat across from her, behind that, a door. Next to her a two way mirror. Above her a camera at the door facing her and a camera behind her.

A smirk formed on her face, she really was a villain now, or so she thought. "Good Morning boys and girls, the crazy animal hero is awake and would like some company."

She gestured the most she could.

The cuffs were uncomfortable, and it was time to find a way out. They might not understand now but it was all for their safety. Transforming now wouldn't work out. 

"Seriously though, if you're going to keep me here I'd like a coffee at least, and some pain reliever for the doozy Hizashi left on me." She couldn't tell exactly but she was sure part of her horn was cracked off.

After a few minutes, the handle to the door opened up. In walked in Aizawa with a coffee, a donut, and pain medication.

"Ah, so you lost the coin toss."

"Won it, if we're being honest. You don't want to know the panic going on out there." He sighed taking a seat at the table.

"I doubt it. I can only imagine, the security room, full of teachers and heroes watching the cameras. Waiting for me to spill everything, to tell them where the league is —"

She wasn't wrong. There were teachers and heroes all in a room watching the security cameras on the edge of their seats. Hizashi, out of all of them, was the quietest, most attentive, and the most scared.

" — then, I tell them all what I told you, and I disappoint All Might by keeping their location a secret."

"Tsk," He crossed his arms. "That's why you think I'm here?"

"You're not here to chat, Aizawa, come on, I may seem stupid and overconfident but I think you forget I'm a pro hero too." Tigris moved her wrists around. "You all forget a little too easily."

"Any why, do you think they'd send me in?"

"It's fairly obvious. Out of the three people I'm closest to here, you're the most unbiased." She held her fingers up one by one, "Toshi is biased, they now he's number one but they can't be sure he won't let me off easily. Hizashi is emotionally unstable, he'd most likely do anything I say to ease my pain, after all, he did cause this." She pointed to her horn. "Never thought he'd lay a hand on me like that, but I guess we'll do some pretty crazy things for the people we love."
