The Imprisoned Hero

Chapter 21

Once Momo and Deku recovered, which was an hour later, we all met at Momo's apartment to discuss what happened. I was too upset with myself that I couldn't get Chrono. That I couldn't save Y/N. She saved me. I needed to save her. I was sitting at the counter as I listened to the others talk to each other.

"Where do you think Chrono took her?" Deku asked.

"Probably one of the warehouses," Todoroki said.

"He wouldn't have even thought about it," I said.

"Would you like to add in to the conversation, Overhaul?" Momo asked.

I got off of the stool and walked over to them. I sat down in one of the single chairs. I leaned forward and put my hands together. My elbows were resting on my knees and I put my hands up against my face.

"Chrono knows I would most likely look into the warehouses if he took her there. He went somewhere else. He went to a different location to hide her from me. From all of us. Not just us heroes, but from police as well. Don't underestimate Chrono. He is pretty clever when it comes to different areas to hide people. He knows where all the nooks and crannies are in Hosu. The good thing is that it is just Hosu. He doesn't know a lot about Kamino or the other areas around here."

"So he's most likely in Hosu?" Todoroki asked.

I nodded my head, "Yes. They're most likely to still be in the area."

"Then we have as many patrols out as we can. We can get a group of heroes and police officers that can help with the patrol. Overhaul, since you know Chrono the best, you need to be out there with us. You need to save her like she saved you," Deku said.

I nodded my head, "Of course. I need to be the one to save her."

"When should we get this started?" Todoroki asked.

"As soon as possible," I said.

"We need to think about this, Overhaul. We can't just go blindly rushing in to save her if we find her. Who knows if Chrono will try to run or try to bargain with her life. We need to be prepared for anything," Momo said.

"She does have a point," Deku said. "A hero shouldn't always rush in to save someone. If they're injured or they're going to be by the villain, then we must know how to deal with the situation. For example, if you find Chrono and head after him, he might try to run. Or he might try to bargain for her life. Saying like he will let her go if only you return back into a villain. He might try to do something along those lines."

"Deku does have a point," Todoroki said.

I nodded my head, "We do need to be cautious around him. Especially since he can stop our movement for up to an hour."

"Shall we come up with a plan?" Deku asked.

He wrote down the plan as we discussed it. It felt like forever since all of us were arguing with one another. Around eleven, we had come up with a plan that could work. All we needed to do was get the other pro heroes and some of the police officers in on this plan. Some of the heroes might be convinced, but not so much the police. They might need more convincing. Deku and Todoroki left while I was still with Momo. Since I did not have a spare key to get into Y/N's apartment, I had to stay with Momo until we found her.

"Are you sure you're ok with me staying here?" I asked.

"It's what Y/N would have wanted. I may not have been ok with you before, but after you tried your hardest to save her, I see you in a much different light."

I smiled slightly, "That's good to know."

"I think if Y/N was brave enough to give you a chance to prove yourself, we should all respect that you're now a hero and no longer a villain. You were given a chance to prove that you're able to change. You took that chance and you ran off with it and now you're here. You're not Overhaul the villain anymore. You're Overhaul the hero. You saved people from the building that Chrono had managed to take down. You even reassembled it to the point where the building itself can be saved. I think the heroes needed someone like you to help with the clean up process as well as putting heroes back together if they lose a limb. Not to mention the whole capture the villain thing."

I smiled, "You sound a lot like Y/N."

"We were good friends back at U.A. All of us were. And by all of us I mean Deku and Todoroki as well. We're just as worried about her as you are, Overhaul."

"Please, call me Chisaki."

"Are you sure?" Momo asked.

"Yes. I need to get used to other people calling me by Chisaki and not my hero name. I got comfortable with Y/N saying my name, but I need to get used to others calling me by that name."

She nodded her head, "I understand. I will try my best to call you Chisaki and not by Overhaul."

"I mean I will respond to either of them, but I think it's just good to get into the habit of calling me Chisaki."

"Yeah."

I looked at the time and yawned, "We should be getting to bed. We have a long day ahead of us."

"We sure do," she said.

"Goodnight, Momo," I said.

"Goodnight, Chisaki," she said and walked down the hall to her room.

I got comfortable on the couch and stared up at the ceiling. Throughout the night I found it hard to sleep. My mind kept going back to Y/N and how I could of done better to save her. I knew I could of done better. If she were here right now, she would tell me I did my best. She always knew what to say to me whenever I'm in need of encouragement. That got me thinking to the time I gave her advice when she was working with me for that short amount of time.

"Don't falter. Don't regret. Don't freeze." There was this newfound determination that grew inside me. "I promise Y/N, I will find and save you."
