Chapter 15


I did as Todoroki told me and followed the lady and the young boy.

They walked for a long time and didn't seem to notice my presence. They walked about 3 miles before they arrived at a small house. It looked rather creepy, haunted even, with its broken window patched up with cardboard, the lawn looked like it hadn't been mowed in years, and the wooden front door looked rotten and mouldy. They entered the house and shut the creaky door.

I felt that I needed to know what went on inside the house. I looked around and noticed that there was a tree next to one of the windows so I decided to climb it.

The window was slightly open. It was a rather small gap so I could hear a bit of the talking from inside. It was muffled but I could hear the boy and the lady yelling.

I could see clearly the rooms. It must have been the boy's room. It had a single bed with a blue duvet, a desk next to the window I was looking through, and a lamp next to the door which was to the right of the window. I moved to the side so that I could see the door a bit more clearly. It was left open, but nothing was going on in there. I then noticed that there was something on the bed. It wasn't there before. On the bed, just sitting there, was a doll. It looked quite old. It had black hair, pale skin and a blue and white dress. It seemed to be propped up by a small gold winder. I peered a bit closer and... the doll turned and looked at me!

I stumbled back from the shock and almost fell out of the tree.

Then the door swung open and the boy emerged from it. He sat on the bed and picked up the doll and a small hairbrush from the bedside and started brushing the doll's hair.

"Don't worry Regan. We will get out of here no matter the cost. You think you could wait a little bit longer?"

Then the doll moved its head and nodded. The boy smiled and continued brushing it's- Regan's hair. Then the dolls head twisted around and looked through the window again. I froze in shock and tried to climb back down the tree as quickly as possible. But I suddenly had no control over my body. It was moving on its own! I pushed the window open and slipped into the room. As I passed the mirror that was on the wall, I could see, not my reflection. But the boy's reflection instead! I(?) walked over to the bed and sat next to the boy's body which was slumped over on the bed clearly unconscious. He then sat up straight and turned to me. I could control my body again which was a relief. What was that? It must have been this kids quirk. It was a strange feeling though. It was similar to the feeling when Shinsou used his quirk on me. But it was kind of different.

"Why are you here Po hero Deku?" he asked after a long silence.

"I-I am so sorry for intruding," I answered in a hushed voice. "I was just, um. On patrol."

"Heh, yeah, And I'm Marie Antoinette." It was clear he didn't believe me.

"I'm sorry. But I couldn't help but notice your doll."

"Yu mean Regan? She is harmless. Wouldn't hurt a fly." He picked up Regan the doll who had just placed a fly and a moth onto a spider web that was on the bed head. She looked at me and I couldn't help but shiver.

"Hey, um. Could I ask a favour?" he said sheepishly.

"Sure. What is it?"

He sighed and turned to look at me. "I need you to help me escape. Again."

"What? Why?"

"Because my mother keeps hurting me. I don't know where my dad is. And my Uncle... is evil."

His Uncle? I wonder who he is.

"Well, I can't help you escape. But I can help you by getting some others to come and help."

"How is that going to help?" Regan nodded in agreement.

I thought for a moment. How are we going to help him? I first needed to report what he said, and we will need to question the mother.

But then again, I am curious as to who his Uncle is.

(Later that day)

I thought back to Ochako.

I tried to push the thought to the back of my mind, but I couldn't help but bring it back up.

I felt terrible that such a thing happened to her, and I couldn't do anything to prevent it from happening. I mean it is one thing if someone is 20 minutes late for a date, but me being stupid waited for a whole 5 hours! Who would be so stupid as to do that?

I decided to go and visit Kacchan to see if he could help. We had actually become closer in since our second year at UA. He became calmer and less prone to anger.

However, because of his quirk, his hearing is deteriorating. I remember one day at U.A, he came to me and had tears in his eyes saying "Please stop the ringing! Please make it stop!" I felt so sorry for him. I arrived at his house and knocked on the door. It started to open after a short moment.

"Kirishima? What are you doing here?" Kirishima stood at the door with a small smile

"Hey, Midoriya. Come in. Bakugo is in the living room.

I entered and took off my shoes before walking over to where the living room was.

Kacchans house was nice. Not how I expected it to be. It was neat and tidy, the walls were painted in a cream colour, and there was a red rug outside each door. I looked around and spotted the kitchen which was red. Very red. I found the living room and entered. Kacchan was sitting on an orange armchair which was facing away from the door so he couldn't see me.

I entered the room. "Hey, Kacchan!" I said. But he ignored me. I sat next to him and noticed he was stroking a small white and orange cat. I reached out to stroke it which made Kacchan jump.

"DEKU! HOW DARE YOU SNEAK UP ON ME LIKE THAT!!!!" WHat? But I called out to him on entry.

"But I said hello when I came in, Kacchan." He put his hand over his ears. How did I not notice? Kacchan was wearing hearing aids!

"Since when?" He looked at me with an expression I couldn't read. It looked like a cross between "Why are you asking?" "Are you serious?" and "Why should I tell you?"

He sighed and continued stroking the cat. "I got em yesterday. Doctor said I needed them."

"Oh." I looked at the ground for a moment.

"I don't want your pity, Deku. I'm okay with it. I'll live."

"You are so brave Kacchan."

"AS IF THAT WASN'T OBVIOUS! I'VE ALWAYS BEEN BRAVE!"

I giggled a little at him. He really hasn't changed.

Kirishima came in with a tray containing a teapot and a few cups, along with milk and sugar.

"Anyone up for tea?"

"Where the actual-"

"I brought them. Because you never have any in here." Kirishima sat on the orange couch with me. He started pouring the tea into the cups.

He then leaned forward to Kacchans chair and asked if he wanted milk and sugar. I know he said "no" as Kacchan would.

"How's Ashido?" Kirishima looked at me surprised but then quickly put on his signature smile.

"She's okay. She calmed down over the whole thing with Uraraka. How's that going by the way?"

"Pretty good I guess. It seems she was brainwashed. We only captured one other person and got some information."

"Must be hard. Your girlfriend was kidnapped, brainwashed and now she is under arrest?"

"Yeah, it's hard. But I know she will be back."

"You sound so confident Deku. You seem to have everything under control." Kacchan said, sipping his tea.

"Yeah. We will fix this mess. And then, I can have Ochako back."

"I'm sure she'll be back Midoriya."

"Yeah."

(On the other side of town)

"Hey! Void! You awake?" I said shaking the girl. She opened her eyes slowly.

"Who? Who are you? Why am I in here? What's going on?!"

"Shhhhh. No need to panic. I'm just going to have to reset you."

"Reset me? What do you mean? Where am I? What have you done to me?"

"Hush little girl. Or else you will be in serious trouble."

"Please. Where am I? Where is Deku? What's happening?"

"What's happening? Well. A couple of hours ago. One of your friends... died."
