Chapter 9

Blake

I walked towards the van and I had my arms wrapped around Twice's to make it look like we were in a relationship. "Excuse me, you two, but don't you two have somewhere else to be other than these alleys?" One of the men said and I smiled innocently.

"Sorry, we got a little lost and we saw you guys and I thought we could ask for help getting somewhere." I said with a smile and Twice seemed to stare at me for a moment at the fact I was just now cuddling his arm.

"Where is it that you'll be needing to head to?" One of the soldiers asked and I smiled.

"Well," I thought for a moment. "Do you guys have a map? It's pretty important cause I have to meet my brother and his wife there. I'm sure if I looked at the name of it, I could remember what it was," I said and one of the soldiers grinned.

"Here you go. Just don't worry about the truck icons on the map," One of them said, passing me a map and I smiled happily.

"Thank you," I said and I took the map before opening it and looking at it.

Okay, so we're over here, and there's this way we could go, wait, nevermind. . .truck there. Unless we cut through the building or take the roof tops. . .but I doubt Twice is that kind of athletic. . . I thought and my mind raced a possible hour of a walk without colliding with trucks and I finally found a short route to take.

"Alright, I found it, so thank you for letting us use the map," I sajd with a happy smile.

"No problem, ma'am," the soldier who gave me the map said and he had a bit of a dazed look, making Twice stare at him suspiciously.

"Let's go, honey," I said, looking at Twice and we both began leaving and Twice gave a last glare at the guy, making him freeze for a moment. I smiled a bit as we left out of their sight. "Is there a reason you had to glare at him," I asked, curiously.

"I didn't like that guy,"

I chuckled a bit from amusement, "You didn't even know him."

"I know but he was looking at you in weird way that I didn't like. . ."

I smiled a bit before I decided to joke a little, "So, would you have preffered that you stayed back while I flirted with him to get the map?" I asked and he immediately seemed to throw a fit like a five-year-old.

"No way! You're not flirting with anyone as long as I'm around!" I laughed a bit. "It's not funny! I don't like you flirting with people!"

"Oh? And why's that~?" I asked with my question in a seductive tone while hugging his arm a bit tighter, making him blush slightly.

"Cause I don't like it, babe," He said and I blushed a bit but I smiled and began walking with him down the route I had on mind.

"Anyway, I have the route planned out the shortest way possible withour colliding with other trucks that belong to my family." I said and I figured it was safe to talk about it since the strests were halfway crowded at least so there were other people talking.

Varek

I had the person I captured tied up in a chair and his hands were tied on the chair arms. "Where the hell is your boss?" I asked, as he looked up at me.

"I'm not telling you anything about where my boss is. . ." I chuckled before putting my foot on the edge of the chair and then I pressed my hand against his throat.

"You'll tell me or I'll kill you," I said as I gave a steel cold glare at him and I lit a lighter and made it close to his clothes, ready to lit them on fire wirh him alive.

"A-Alright!" He yelled and I backed up a bit from him, releasing the lighter trigger. "He's on his way here already. . . And he's got a surprise for Shigaraki. . ." I narrowed my eyes for a moment before sighing and I crossed my arms.

"Where is he currently?"

"By now. . .he's right outside. . ." My eyes widened and I heard an explosion from outside and I looked at Kurogiri.

"Keep an eye on him while I go check it out." I said and I left the room and went to check it out. When I got out of the room and into the main area of the hideout where the explosion came from, Lillie suddenly hid behind me and stared at the dust cloud.

"What's going on. . .?" Lillie asked, scared and I glared in the direction of the explosion with a smirk.

"Well, well, guess you did come after all, didn't you, Kai Chisaki?" I then saw the full appearance of him and I smirked sadistically. "Or shall I say, Overhaul? Whichever name you want to go by works for me," I said.

"I see you're here. I didn't expect you to be, Pyro King," Shigaraki glared until a woman came out from behind Overhaul and it looked to be the woman named Rosa. I've met her a few times at a mental hospital and I put a hand on my waist.

"Rosa, what are you doing with that bastard?" Shigaraki asked and I glanced at him.

"Calm down, Tomura," I said and then I smirked. "I'm guessing you had him as a patient and got feelings for him so you thought, 'Hey, I might as well join him'," I said and I had a small smirk as Tomura glared at him.

"I don't think you're thinking straight to stay with him, Rosa." Tomura tried to walk ahead as if trying to attack him, but I put my hand in front of him to srop him from walking.

"Lillie, go to Magne," I said and Lillie looked up at me before nodding and she walked around behind everyone for a moment.

"You're keeping a rich brat now?" Overhaul asked and I glared for a moment before I sensed something was coming and I smirked a bit while resting my eyes.

"Everyone, step bsck a yard," I said and Dabi looked at me.

"What the hell for?"

"Trust me and do it." I said as I began walking towards Overhaul for the moment and then everyone else stepped bsck. "So, how about we have a discussion about a possible partnership?" I said and Overhaul glared slightly.

I had a few feet of distance from Overhaul and there was a crash in the middle of the roof and I stood as I was. A large cloud of debris was kicked up and then eventually went away after a bit and it showed Blake and Twice standing there in the dust.

"The hell-" I heard one of the henchmen of Overhaul's muttered and Overhaul stared at me.

"And what exactly would you offer in return?"

"That depends on what you want from us. I can possibly negotiate terms with our leader once we speak about the matters you want," I said simply and Overhaul narrowed his eyes for a moment.

". . .I suppose we'll speak about the terms then," He said and I smiled a bit.

"Good. I don't want to have any bloodshed between us or anything. Besides, I'm sure that you wouldn't want your clothes dirty in blood either," I said, walking around him and we both stepped outside.

Blake

Once Varek left with Ovethaul, I had my arms crossed and I kept a small glare towards where Overhaul left. "Birdie!" I heard Lillie yell and I felt her tackle me, so now I was flat on the ground.

"Whoa, careful, Lillie," I said and she giggled a bit before bonking me on the head.

"How could you leave me for so long?!" I froze up and looked at her while ditting up to face her.

"How was I supposed to have made sure you were safe?!" I said and she began tearing up.

"I was worried about you the whole time, Blake!" I kept a straight face with a slight frown. "Mommy and Daddy were always mean to you and you went back with them without me!" Lillie yelled before stomping off, nearly crying. I had shadows over my eyes for a moment before I rested my eyes.

I should be used to this. . . Lillie has done every other month when it was after mother and father had poured a lot of water on me until I couldn't stand anymore.

"You alright?" Twice asked, worriedly. He wore his suit, since we changed yo our villain outfits shortly before arriving here.

"I'll be fine. I just need to talk with her." I said and I went to check on her. I saw her sitting on a step, crying. It was raining now and she was sitting in the middle of it. I walked over and I stood in front of her. I decided to do something I hadn't done with her before and I grew the black marks on my skin and my wings while I hugged her and used my wings to act as an umbrella from the rain.

"Let me go," She said and she elbowed me in the side before I smiled.

"That's a weird way of saying hi to your big sister,"

"I don't want to talk to you right now," She said and I frowned a bit.

"Look, I left you here with these people because I trusted them to look after you. If I brought you back, there's nothing that can say that abuse can't happen to a child. If I took you with me, it would've only gave our parents the advantage to possibly harm you as well in order to bring out the pheonix part of me on their command." I said and she started struggling out of my arms, but I only held on tighter. "They would've used you against me if I didn't leave you here with people I trusted to take care of you. I wouldn't have done it otherwise." I said and she widened her eyes and she looked up at me and I was slowly feeling weaker in my wings and I smiled slightly. "Besides, wouldn't I be doing this if I did care about you?" I said and she hugged me back, crying harder than she was before and I held her a bit tighter and moved my wings as if to cover her in a blanket and I rested my eyes happily before I fell onto my side, unconscious.

Guess I forgot it was raining when I was flying on my way here. . . I thought last and I felt my wings and marks disappear.

When I woke up, I saw Twice in the corner of the room and Lillie was napping next to him while Aunt Seraphine came into the room, which still left Twice and Lillie sleeping.

"How long have they been there?"

"Well, Twice was here the whole time since you were brought in here and Lillie had just got back in here after eating something real quick. Were you flying in the rain earlier, Blake?" She asked and I nodded.

"Yeah, but I made sure to try to keep it a quick flight," I said and she smiled a bit.

"Next time, don't resort to your pheonix form so quickly," She said and I sat up on the bed as Aunt Seraphine sat on the side of the bed.

"Alright. By the way, we figure out what Overhaul's deal was?"

"It's been agreed that we'll be working with Overhaul for a while." She said and I blinked acouple of times.

"And the terms?"

"That Shigaraki doesn't attack Overhaul. . ." Seraphine said and I raised a brow.

"I'm confused. . ."

"Apparently Rosa is Shigaraki's sister and began dating Overhaul a short while ago."

"Oh. . .guess that makes sense. . ." I said and I crossed my arms. "Anyway, I'm pretty sure mom and dad are going to be especially be after me this time. . ."

"How come?"

"They're trying to find suitors for me to marry. And every guy they chose seems to only have the commonality of being rich so I get the feeling they're just trying to look for more ways to get more money. . ."

"Your parents were always all about the greed," She said and I sighed, while resting my head against the wall.

"Yeah, that and being controlling of everything," I said as I glanced out the window.

"Try and get some rest for now, okay, Blake?" Seraphine said and I smiled a bit.

"Okay, Aunt Sera," I said and she smiled, standing up before leaning over and she kissed my forehead, which I didn't mind and she left. I noticed Twice's eyes twitched as if he was already awake, but didn't want to show he was quite yet. I smiled a bit in amusement and once the door shut, he got up from the chair and smiled at me.

"I'm glad you're alright," He said with a smile and I smiled back.

"Yeah," I said and he then sat next to me.

"You sure you're alright after staying in the rain as long as you have?"

"I wouldn't be worried about it if I was brought in just after I passed out." I said and he frowned a bit.

"After what you and your grandmother explained, it seems like it's a lot more than that, Blake. There was a possibility of you dying there,"

I smiled a bit to reassure him, "I said I'll be fine. As Aunt Sera said, I just need a little more rest and I'll be just fine," I said and he then sighed and hugged me.

"As long as you'll be okay, I should be happy with that," He said and I blushed heavily before snuggling to him a bit. "But, Blake," I looked up at him. "Please don't do something like that again," I smiled a bit as he had a serious expression.

"I'll try not to. It's just sometimes I have no control of my quirk, but it depnds on the circumstances." I said and he smiled a bit.

"Guess I would have to make sure you don't get into those circumstances then," He said and he met his lips with mine, suepeising me but after a moment, I returned it, happily.

After a bit, we pulled away for a bit and Lillie seemed to wake up now. "You two making a wedding pact?" She asked, still slightly tirdd and I blushed heavily at the thought of it and I chuckled a bit before smiling.

"Lillie, I told you not to assume something like that." I said with a small smile and Lillie giggled a bit.

"Okay," She said, leaving the room. Twice chuckled a bit at Lillie's behavior and I sighed.

"And there she goes. . ."

"She's probably going to tell everyone about it," He said and I shook my head.

"It wouldn't surprise me if she did. Let's just hope my uncle doesn't overreact." I said and he smiled before he snuggled me happily.
