The Imprisoned Hero

Chapter 50

"Do you want to hold him, Overhaul?" she asked me.

I was hesitant, but nodded my head. It was as if time had slowed down. She handed him to me and I reached out. As soon as I laid a finger on him, his entire body burst. Blood flew in every direction. I put my hands on my head and looked over at Y/N. She had no expression on her face. It was just blank.

"Y/N," I said and reached out to her. As soon as I touched her, the same thing happened to her. Her body exploded and blood splattered the walls. I coughed at the sight of the blood and looked over to where Eri was resting. She was my last hope.

"Eri!" I yelled, but she didn't wake up. I walked over to her and touched her shoulder. Her arm burst off, which caused her to wake up. She looked at her arm and saw it wasn't there. She looked terrified. She looked up at me and I had a worried expression on my face. "Eri," I said and reached out to her. As soon as I touched her, it was the same. Blood tainted the entire room. I looked at my arms and saw blood was running down it. I started to scratch my arm violently to the point where my arms were red.

"This is my fault. This is my fault," I repeated as I looked around the room. "This is my fault. Get it together Chisaki. Get it together. What the hell was I thinking? I knew better."

"Did you?"

I looked over and saw another version of myself. Except, my eyes were entirely black. There were feathers around us and the surroundings changed from a hospital room to black. I tried to run from this version of myself.

"You can't run from me," it said.

I just started to run faster, but I tripped over something that wasn't there. I looked behind me and saw three tombstones. One was for Aiko, one was for Eri, and one was for Y/N.

"You caused this, Overhaul, just because you couldn't control your quirk," it said.

"No! No! I can control it!"

"Are you so sure?"

I got up and ran once more. The other version came out from the black mass and grabbed me.

"No!" I yelled and turned around, trying to run away from it.

"You can't run away from me," it yelled and wrapped its hands around my mouth.

"No!" I yelled and ripped my surgical mask off. "Get off of me!"

I was pulled into the black and landed on my back. I scratched the back of my head and looked at my surroundings. It changed from black to a mental hospital room. There was nothing but cushions surrounding me. I was breathing heavily and I covered my nose and mouth.

"Where am I?"

"You're in here because you went insane. You killed the only family you had and now, you're paying the price," the voice said.

"No. I couldn't have. I love Y/N and I love Eri. I would never do anything to hurt them!"

"Don't be too sure of yourself, Overhaul. Remember what you did to both of them?"

"That was before I was a hero! Now that I am one, I would never harm them! I harmed them once and I will never do it again."

"Believe me when I tell you this: once a villain, always a villain!" it jumped out at me and pushed me to the ground. I sunk down into the cushions and I was surrounded by black again.

I tried to run, but I ran back into the hospital room. Blood was still everywhere. I had blood all over my arms. I started to scratch at them again, but as soon as I started, my arms disintegrated off of my body. I looked down and shook violently. The other version walked out in front of me and smirked.

"Don't deny it, Overhaul. You will remain a villain."

"NO!"

I jolted upwards and sweat was running down my forehead. I wiped it off with my shirt I was wearing. I looked over at Y/N to see she was sound asleep. She was due any day now. I quietly got out of bed and opened the door. I walked down to Eri's room and opened her door. She was asleep as well. I let out a sigh of relief and walked back into our room. I closed the door and walked into the bathroom. I turned on a dim light and stood in front of the sink. I looked at myself in the mirror. I removed my surgical mask and looked at the scar that ran across my mouth. I then looked down at my hands.

I sighed, "It was just a dream."

"Chisaki?"

I turned and saw Y/N was hanging onto the doorway behind me.

"Y/N," I quickly walked over to her. It looked like she was about to fall over. I helped her stand up.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"A nightmare."

"What was it about?"

I scratched the back of my neck, "I-It's not important."

"Chisaki," she looked over at me.

"R-Really it's nothing. It was one of the normal ones where you're running away from a monster."

"By the looks of how you are, it doesn't look like it was that sort of nightmare."

I sighed. She read me like an open book. "It was about the baby."

"The baby?"

I nodded my head, "I went to go hold him and due to my quirk, I disassembled him. I went to touch you and disassembled you as well. Eri was there and I eventually disassembled her. Then all of a sudden, I was running away from me. It said that since I was once a villain, I would always be a villain."

"Chisaki, look at me." I looked over at her and she rested her hand on my cheek. "Even if you were a villain, you're not always going to be a villain."

"How are you so sure about it?"

"I taught you, not only physically, but mentally how to retrain your quirk for good. If you were to accidentally disassemble something, you can always reassemble. Remember that. You have a destructive and constructive quirk. You can destroy and recreate. If something were to happen, you will be able to fix it."

I smiled at her and she leaned towards me. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her towards me. She pressed her lips against mine and I kissed her back. As soon as she pulled away, she fell towards the ground.

"Y/N?"

She looked down at the ground and sighed, "Baby's coming."
