Day 5: Cooking Competition!

(Pt. 4: Final Part!)

"I-Imari ?! ' Gabby exclaimed. "That's me." She hummed with a somewhat sly grin. "How'd you get here?" Lily inquired. Before Imari could answer Tori suddenly pushed in front of the group with an excited look in her eyes. "Can you bring our powers back by any chance ?! I really, really want my back! " She exclaimed, jumping up and down impatiently. "Um..no. I don't have that power. " Imari replied with a frown, much to Tori's displeasure.

"I'm happy. I didn't like being super-silent like that..I enjoy being super lo--! " Gabby smacked a hand over Liam's mouth before he could get any louder. "May I remind you that we're just a room away from our" captors "?" She growled, trying not to raise her voice herself. "Who are actually really preoccupied with Taffy's presentation about how fast the first commercial airplane flew." Carmen added, peeking out the door before closing it quietly.

It was thoroughly impressive how long Taffy was keeping the men occupied. She even seemed too lost in her own bizarre airplane facts to remember that they were armed. "That girl is seriously impressive." Imari stated in slight disbelief. "I wonder if she could keep Bakugou that busy while I..." She paused and gave a sheepish smile. "..Never mind."

Gabby gave her a suspicious look before Lily started talking again. "You still haven't answered my question." She huffed. "I though I came from the book." Imari shrugged. "Well, yeah, you did, but - wait, didn't you know that?" Carmen inquired.

"Obviously not." Imari huffed, furrowing her eyebrows in a look of annoyance. "But how? You're the one who gave her the book! " Liam pointed out. "Well, yeah, but that's only because this chick and her walking stuffed bear told me to." The taller woman shrugged sheepishly. "I'm sorry you took instructions from a girl and her walking stuffed animal?" Gabby asked, pinching the bridge of her nose as if trying to keep her brain cells intact. "Ya." Imari replied bluntly.

"Why?!" Gabby finally screeched, Carmen covering her mouth as a warning. "I've seen weirder." Imari stated. "What..?" Gabby pressed a hand to her forehead with a sigh. "..I really shouldn't ask..what could possibly be weirder than a walking stuffed toy?" She asked, clearly losing her patience by the second. "Well, Mina's pink, Midoriya looks like walking broccoli, Shinsou's hair defies gravity and--"

"--I'm done. I'll go ask those guys to kill me and this'll all be over." Gabby muttered to herself. "Don't." Carmen deadpanned, stopping Gabby before she could reach the door.

"But there's a way to, like, stuff her back in, right?" Tori inquired. Gabby raised her finger to give a sarcastic response but shook her head with a sigh instead.

"Okay, anyway, if Puppet's not here to tell me what to do then Imma just go back into the book now." Imari shrugged, grabbing the book from Gold. "I-I don't recall anyone giving you her na--"

"--wait, what about those?" Tori pointed to the dolls hanging on Imari's belt.

"Oh...my dolls..?" Imari unclipped one of them, holding it up. It resembled a brown haired girl in a pink outfit. Though, it had no face.

"Yeah! Could you do something with it? What exactly is your super power?" Tori inquired.

"I can control people with dolls. So long as the doll replicates them." Imari explained.

"So, like voodoo?" Gabby questioned in an unsettled manner. Imari facepalmed, slowly dragging her hand down her face.

"No. It's not. Why do people keep saying that? I'm a puppeteer not The Shadow Man!" Imari hissed in annoyance. She put her hands on her hips with a huff. "Anyways, if you want me to, I could try to call some of them here." Imari offered.
