Chapter 13: Bond

It's been a week or two since you've started staying at the Shie Hassaikai. Since the night you ran away, you haven't heard or seen of the League of Villains since. You've gotten to know Overhaul better and you were introduced to his right hand man, Chronostasis, Kurono for short. You were still caring for Eri and she started to come out of her shell when you were around her, but it was when the two of you were alone. You'd even hold her hand while her blood was being extracted and played with her when it was over.

Overhaul had you working in the lab underground but the difference was that you could go down there on your own time. You weren't pressured or forced to and you were extremely grateful for that freedom. He wanted you to continue working on that antidote, hopefully making stronger and more efficient.

You were treated like royalty, you could see that Overhaul had a soft spot for you hidden somewhere behind his terrifying exterior. He had his underlings give you great food and they even cleaned your room. You yourself weren't very sure of this special treatment but you liked it. If you had to be honest, even you weren't very sure how he had grown fond of you within the last few weeks but you didn't complain.

You stood in the lab, it was very different from your old ones. It was wide, spacious, clean, and you could even control the temperature, it even had a bathroom. As you mixed different substances and glanced at your clip board to make sure you were following the right steps, the door slammed open. The loud noise startled you, almost causing you to drop the bottle you were holding that held toxic chemicals. You sat the bottle down and lifted your goggles, turning around while taking off your gloves. Overhaul stomped inside, his skin was breaking out, he scratched his arms furiously as his brow furrowed in annoyance.

"Those damn heroes.... they keep patrolling around my front gate.... they're crossing a dangerous line.... I'll kill them all...." He muttered viciously. You rubbed some hand sanitizer onto your hands and rushed over to him in his panicked state.

Grabbing onto his wrists to stop him from scratching at his currently sensitive skin, you looked into his golden orbs.

"O-Overhaul, calm down. They're just patrolling, they aren't gonna break in or anything. Even they need a good reason to do that and you always cover your tracks perfectly." You assured him, gently rubbing your thumb across his skin, you could feel the bumps fade away.

"Kai..." He mumbled.

"What?"

"Just call me Kai." He hissed, swallowing his pride so he could correct you.

You smiled warmly and let go of his wrists.

"Kay!" You giggled, you could already see his stress disappear.

You walked back over to your experiment, slipping on your gloves and lowering your goggles back over your face. You picked the bottle back up and messed around with it while scribbling notes.

"We're going to have your little comrades come tomorrow just for a meet up, so expect that to happen." Kai spoke as he leaned on the other side of the table to avoid whatever you were mixing up.

"My comrades...? Oh-" You looked down, you weren't sure how they were doing since you left. Toga and Twice seemed to be the ones who kinda enjoyed your company and the feeling was mutual.

"How come I never see you use your quirk a lot? I've seen you use it for a split second during the first time we met up." Kai scratched at his head and huffed.

"Oh, I don't really have a reason to use it a lot. But when I do, the drawbacks cause my skin to burn and break out, it's not the prettiest scene." You chuckle awkwardly.

"I see." He leaned up and walked out.

"Well then, goodbye to you too." You huffed and finished up your work.
