The ropes dug into her wrists since her arms were tied behind her back. She kept struggling to get them to come undone with no bail. Glancing at her surroundings, it was clear there was only one exit—the door.

Chisaki had covered their faces with black hoods and hadn't allowed them to see where he'd taken them. Yet, from the lingering petri dishes, erlenmeyer flasks and the plethora of lab tools, she could tell they were in some type of facility. Maybe a lab Chisaki had been working in.

The lights were dim, and there were no windows, so she couldn't tell if it was day or night after he'd taken the hoods off them. Still, they taken an elevator and she'd managed to count the beeping signals of each floor. They were on the seventh one.

A muffled sound to her right caught her attention, Shouto was also struggling with the ropes. He had a purple eye displayed on his face—he hadn't gone down without fighting. Still, one gun against eight other ones wasn't much to fight with.

Both their mouths were covered by handkerchiefs, so she couldn't do anything more than make strange noises to get his attention. He turned to her, his crystal eyes were angry, and his face showed the desperation he felt of being tied up. She tried to give him a reassuring nod, but she knew he could see through her. She was terrified. If they were ever to leave, it would be in black body bags.

I love you!

I love you!

I love you I love you I love you

Iloveyouiloveyouiloveyou!

She kept repeating the words as much as she could, even though she couldn't speak, she wanted him to see her feelings through her eyes. They were close enough where she could feel his body heat, but too far for them to sit back to back in order to untie the rope.

Shouto nodded finally. He understood what she was trying to tell him. He looked like he desperately wanted to tell her something as well, but before she could try to decipher what he was trying to say, the door to the rooms swooshed open.

Chisaki in his ridiculous suit walked in, Dabi close by. She struggled against her restraints when she saw him, but he avoided her gaze. His face was still covered in bandaids. She regretted ever trying to help him.

Chisaki approached her, his footsteps heavy. "It seems like we always end up in the same situation. The master at the top, and his pet at his feet." He crouched down low. He pointed at Shouto. "Did you think I wouldn't know about your secret little boyfriend?" He laughed. "I actually expected you to run into him at UA. Why do you think I paid so much to get into that stupid university? It was part of my plan from the very beginning. I just never expected that you would let him get into your pants."

She gave a muffled reply, she could feel the anger inside of her growing. He continued. "Of course you didn't know anything. It was hilarious. He was searching for the family I took, yet, his lover was the one who was keeping him from them!"

Y/N turned her eyes towards Dabi, her eyes questioning him. Had he not been the one behind all of this? But his gaze was unreadable. There was something else he was keeping from her.

Chisaki grabbed her chin and made her turn to him. "Don't look at him. He actually had nothing to do with it. He was actually surprised to know that you and I knew each other. I guess petty jealousy led to him turning you into me. That, and the whole fact that we both work under the same boss—who favors me better than him."
