The Imprisoned Hero

Chapter 6

The second week went by and I had told Overhaul more of the students from U.A. I basically told him everyone except for Deku, Kirishima, and Bakugo. In my opinion, they were the three quirks that would help Overhaul. I feared that if he found them out, he would use them for himself or for some other purpose.

"I told you everyone. Can I go now?" I asked.

He looked at me, "You have been more cooperative. I might as well give you some sort of reward."

"Can it be better food? Because I can't eat anything while I am sitting like this." The majority they had given me was these fruit smoothies. I always had to go to the bathroom afterwards, which I will not get in to at the moment.

"I can only give you a better smoothie for you to drink," he said. "Sadly, I have to wait until the others get back here with the food." He leaned his head back against the chair he was sitting in. 

"Can I ask you a question?"

"I might have an answer depending on what it is."

"Do you take off your mask to eat?"

"How else would I eat?"

"It would be neat if your mask kind of opened up."

"It somewhat does."

"Can I see it?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"It's dangerous."

"Then what is your name?"

He snapped his head up and glared at me, "I only go by Overhaul."

"You have to have a real name. We all do."

"I will only tell you my real name if you tell me yours. Sound fair?"

"Are you actually going to tell me?"

"Yes. You go first."

"I asked you first."

"And are you actually going to tell me?"

"If I tell you, would you ever hunt me down?"

"I cant' promise that."

"Then I can't tell you."

"Why ask me a question and then not go with the deal I had offered you?"

"Fine. I will tell you."

Overhaul sighed, "My real name is Kai Chisaki."

"Y/N L/N."

"That's a pretty name."

"You really think it is? Or are you just trying to flatter me?"

"I am being completely honest."

"That's a first."

"There's always a first for everything."

"I definitely like Kai better than Overhaul."

"If you ever call me by that name while you're in here, you're getting more than your arm ripped off."

"Seems like you don't like your name."

He shook his head, "I'm not going to dive into my backstory."

"Good, I didn't want to hear it," I said.

Overhaul gave me a weird glare. The door opened up and one of his gang members rushed over to Overhaul.

"What the hell took so long?"

"Sorry, sir. There was a bit of a line."

Overhaul sighed and grabbed the smoothie. He took out the keys from his pocket and unlocked the door. He walked back in, locked the door back up, and handed the keys to his gang member. He walked over to the other side and grabbed a small box. He put the box in front of me and placed the smoothie on it. He unwrapped the straw and put it through the lid. He slid it towards me and he sat down.

"Why are you sitting in front of me?"

"We never got this close to one another. The only exception was out there."

"I need some personal space and you're kind of creeping me out."

He nodded and got up. He walked back over to the door and the gang member handed him the keys. He unlocked the door and walked out. He closed and locked the door. He slid the keys into his pocket and sat back down. I took a small sip from the smoothie.

"Oh fun. It's something other than a cherry smoothie."

"You were getting tired of cherry?" Overhaul asked.

"I was never a fan of cherry." (Sorry if you are.)

"What did you get this time?"

"It's orange."

"Is it any better?"

"It's alright," I said.

We sat there in silence as I drank the smoothie.

"Overhaul, someone is here to see you," said one of his gang members.

He sighed and got up. He walked into the darkness and I could hear people talking.

"I told you, I am not joining that shit show! I work for myself and no one else! Get the hell out of here blue fire before your blood is all over this wall!"

"Chill, dude. I was sent by Shigaraki. If you want to take it up with him, be my guest."

"I actually will. Show me where he is."

"Alright. Follow me."

The door opened and closed shut. I was now alone once more. I finished my smoothie and rested my head against the wall. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Something banged on the bars which ripped me from my sleep. My eyes ripped open and I saw Overhaul was standing by the door. He looked annoyed.

"Have a nice sleep?" he asked.

"I haven't been sleeping well since you locked my in here."

"Figured since you don't have anything to sleep on."

"Who were you talking to before you left?"

"Some idiot named Dabi. He's trying to get me to join the League of Villains."

"Why don't you?"

"I have my own gang I need to look after. I am the boss and they're in need of me. We all share the same ideals and morals. We'd be lost without one another. I just had a fun little idea."

"What is that?"

"How would you like to join us? Your powers of light manipulation could be useful when attacking other villains and heroes."

"Why would I go against the people I wanted to become?"

He walked towards the door, "There had to be someone to tell you your quirk was useless. Nothing compared to their's. With a light manipulation quirk, they probably said you were weak. That you'll never become the number one hero."

I sighed. He knew everything that had happened in U.A. It was mostly Bakugo telling me I was useless and how my quirk would never save someone. I shook my head, trying not to let him get to me.

"You definitely had someone tell you that, haven't you?"

"Yes," I said.

"Tell me about him. Tell me your troubles."
