The Imprisoned Hero

Chapter 13

I ran into the city as Eri clung to me. I needed to get her as far away from Overhaul's reach. I needed to keep her safe. The only safe place I could think of was the police. But he would probably try to kidnap her again. Or get one of his gang members to come and snatch her back. I needed to think of an even safer place than the police. U.A. I ran towards the front of the building. I opened one of the doors and ran around trying to find the staff. While I was running down the halls, Midnight was walking towards me.

"Y/N? What's with the new get up?"

I pulled my mask down to where it was around my neck, "Where's Aizawa?"

"In the staff room. Why?"

"He's the only one I know who can keep her safe," I said and headed towards the staff room. When I got there, I didn't even think about knocking. I needed to see Aizawa. I opened the door to see everyone looking over at me.

"Is Mr. Aizawa here?"

He stood up, "Y/N, why are you here?"

I walked over to him, still holding on to Eri. I explained everything to Mr. Aziawa about being with Overhaul and working for him for a bit to get information. I told him about how I got to meet Eri and what Overhaul was planning. Aizawa walked behind me to get a good look of Eri's face. But it was a bit harder than he thought since she had her face buried in my shoulder.

"It's ok, Eri. He's not going to hurt you."

She slowly lifted her head up and looked at Aizawa.

"This is certainly a major issue. We knew Overhaul was a big villain now these days, but we never knew about Eri," he said.

"Can you keep her here for now? I need her to be safe and away from Overhaul."

Aizawa looked like he was going to deny my request, but he nodded his head, "We won't let any harm come to her. Not while I am here."

I knelt on to the ground and set Eri down. It seemed like she didn't want to let go of me.

"Eri, I need to speak to you face to face."

She slowly pulled away and looked at me.

"Eri, this is Mr. Aizawa. He is going to keep you safe until I get back. Once I do, I can take care of you."

"Please, don't go!" she said and grabbed onto my shirt. Tears were about to form in her eyes. I hugged her real quick before pulling away.

"I won't be gone for long. I promise you, I will come back."

She nodded her head and let go of my shirt. Aizawa knelt down next to me and waved to Eri.

"I'll be taking care of you for now."

Eri nodded her head and walked over to Aizawa. He picked her up and held her.

"Thank you for bringing her here."

"I was thinking the police, but I figured Overhaul might try to come and get her back."

"U.A. is probably one of the safest places to have her," All Might said as he walked over to us.

"I'll be back."

"Where are you going?" Aizawa asked.

"To get the others."

They nodded and I walked out of the room. I ran out of U.A. and headed over to my apartment. I walked down the hall and knocked on Momo's door. She opened the door and everyone was there.

"Thank goodness I found all of you," I said and walked in.

"Where have you been?" Todoroki asked.

"It's been a few days since we heard from you," Deku said.

"We were getting worried," Kirishima commented.

"I've been alright," I said and slipped the mask off from around my neck. I told them everything I had told Aizawa. They seemed to be disgusted by Overhaul.

"What are you going to do?" Deku asked.

"Well, we don't know if Overhaul is going to attack."

I burst through the trap door and pulled myself out of the hole. I walked over to the other members and looked at each and every one of them.

"She's gone."

"Sun-Destroyer?" Chrono asked.

"Both Sun-Destroyer and Eri."

"Are you serious?" Mimic asked.

"How are we going to get her back?" asked another member.

"We're not. We have what we need. We're going to attack Hosu. Where Sun-Destroyer is."

I ran down the streets as everything was set on fire. It had been a couple of weeks since Eri was under the watch of Aizawa. It seemed like everything was doing fine. Eri opened up to Aizawa after he showed her that he was not going to harm her. I still had to deal with Overhaul. He had gone silent for those two weeks and now he finally came out from the darkness. I was now back in my hero outfit and was going to finish him off once and for all. But when I arrived, I saw something horrific. Since I didn't get called until the fight got really intense, I didn't see everything play out. Overhaul was on the ground and Endeavor was walking towards him. Overhaul was badly injured and was in need of help. Even after all of the cruel things he had done to me, there was something inside of me that yelled 'save him.' Even after everything he had put me through, we connected in a different way. I now fully understood him. Endeavor was now looming over him. I sighed and ran towards him. Don't falter. Don't regret. And don't freeze. Even if he was the villain, I was a hero. I needed to save someone. I needed to save Kai.

"Your reign of terror is over, Overhaul," Endeavor said as a flame sat in the palm of his hands.

"Stop!" I yelled and put my body over Overhaul's.

"Sun-Destroyer?" Overhaul asked weakly.

"Don't hurt him," I said firmly.

"You know this could be considered wrong if the other pro heroes caught word of this? They could strip you of your license," Endeavor said.

"I don't care. Don't hurt him."
