Chapter Text
Izuku didn't know how long it had been until Overhaul returned, but as soon as the brown-haired man stepped into the room Izuku sobbed even louder. He was loud and probably extremely annoying to the monster that stood in front of him.
"We'll have to get something to stop that." The awful man sighed as he entered the room with Nemoto walking in behind him with some sort of device. "Nemoto," He spoke the man's name as if it was a command and the man approached Izuku.
Izuku's eyes widened and he tried to squirm away from the man, but the restraints refused him the privilege to move. Nemoto came closer and all Izuku could do was sob.
Nemoto stood in front of Izuku and brought the device up and pointed it toward his foot. Izuku cried and tried to move his foot away from the device, the restraints had not changed and he still could move, and so, his foot did not move. Izuku braced himself for more pain and his full body tensed, his sobs getting louder.
The device beeped and Nemoto walked away from him and went back over to Overhaul's side, showing him the screen. Overhaul hummed and looked up at Izuku with what he could only assume was a sadistic grin on his face. Izuku was confused on what happened, but he was glad no more pain came,,, yet.
"Well, well," Overhaul spoke at last. "It looks like you did not lie to me. You really are quirkless."
Oh.. That's what the device did... why did Overhaul need to confirm that..? Was he going to be let go? Wait no. He couldn't be let go,, he couldn't leave Eri here all alone. He had to stay here and stay strong., for her. Izuku wondered how long he would be kept here, in this room, away from Eri. He wondered if he would even be able to see her again. The thought that he wouldn't ever see her again made him panic. Would she think he abandoned her?
"Nemoto." Izuku was broken out of his thoughts by Overhaul's voice. "Could you please take care of him." What did that mean??
Nemoto nodded and walked back over toward Izuku and he didn't know what to do. Should he say something? No that might end badly.., but what else could he do..?
"W-what are you going to do with me..?" Izuku shakily asked the man.
"Don't you worry about that." Overhaul said as Nemoto made it in front of Izuku. "We'll take good care of you here." Izuku knew for a fact that wasn't true, but he didn't say that in fear of being hurt again. Izuku tensed as Nemoto reached up and grabbed his arm. "If you try anything, I can guarantee nothing good will happen." Overhauls tone changed to be threatening. If Izuku had any plans to try and get out, they were erased when he saw Overhaul reach his hand down to the edge of his other hand's glove. He remembered the pain.
Nemoto unlatched the restraint on his left hand and it fell down to his side, Izuku could barely feel it. Nemoto next unlatched his left foot and Izuku fell to the floor and was dragged to the right by the remaining restraints. Nemoto unlatched his right arm and leg and Izuku used all his strength and scooted to press his back against the wall. Tears fell down his face and his arms were so numb he couldn't even bring a hand up to wipe them away.
"Nemoto," Izuku heard Overhaul say. "Bring him over here." Nemoto nodded and Izuku could do nothing to stop the hands attempting to pick him up. Nemoto gave up picking him up, as he was pretty much deadweight, and he instead opted to grasp Izuku's arm and drag him over to Overhaul. Izuku let out a pathetic noice as his numb arm bent at a weird angle.
Once Nemoto got Izuku to sit in a heap on the floor in front of Overhaul, the man in question grabbed a handful of his hair, forcing Izuku to look up at him. "This is for being so noisy." That was all Izuku heard before the man's other hand grasped his arm and Izuku let out a cry as his body started being unmade.
It was slower than last time and he could feel it all. He could feel the burning hot pain in his arm, spreading across his whole body.
Before he knew it, he was gone and brought right back. He was about to let out a cry before a hand was shoved against his mouth.
"Remember what I said," Overhaul spoke slowly and stern. "That was for being so noisy. You don't want me to do that again, do you?" Izuku shook his head quickly from under the hand on his mouth. Tears streamed down from his eyes, but he stayed quiet. "Good." Overhaul lifted his hand. "Nemoto, bring him to the room."
Nemoto nodded from behind Izuku and grabbed onto his arm once again, this time Izuku felt it more. It stung and Izuku let out a small sound before trying to stay as quiet as possible.
Izuku was dragged out of the room and every time he tried to stand up Nemoto sped up and he slipped before he could get to his feet. Hallway after hallway after hallway, they walked and walked and walked. It felt like forever before they stopped and Izuku could get his footing and stand up straight, albeit on shaky legs.
"This is your room from now on." Nemoto said, opening the door and pushing him inside, making him fall to the ground, and then Nemoto was quickly shutting the door behind him.
"Mr..?" Izuku heard a small, quiet, voice speak from inside the room. He recognized that voice..!
"Eri?" Izuku asked. "Is that you?"
"Mr.!" The girl yelled before he heard footsteps running toward him. Izuku felt the girl slam into him and Izuku almost fell back fully. He felt Eri's arms wrap around him and he tried his best to bring his arms up to hug her back, but he only managed to bring one arm up to wrap around her. "You came back!"
Izuku smiled. "Of course I did. I'm glad you're alright Eri."
"I'm so glad you came back Mr.." Eri pulled back from the hug and smiled at him, before looking like she was thinking. "Mr.., what's your...,, name.?
He looked at the girl for a moment, he forgot to tell her his name? Seriously past Izuku. Well, he was a little busy getting kidnapped. "My name is Izuku" He felt it was better to not say his last name just incase someone was listening in on them, which he didn't doubt someone was.
"Okay Mr. Izuku!" Eri smiled wider and Izuku looked at her softly. The little girl then let out a yawn.
"Are you tired?" Izuku asked her and she nodded her head, looking at him with big eyes. "Do you have a bed in here?" He asked her, it was quite dark in the room and he could really see that well.
"Mhm." She grabbed onto his hand and led him through the room. Izuku tried his very best to ignore how hard it was to walk when he could barely feel his legs. He didn't want to worry Eri. "Here."
Izuku looked down and saw a small mattress in what had to be the middle of the room. Izuku tried to smile at the girl but it came out little strained from both pain and realizing how bad this place was. He slowly sat down on the edge of the bed and Eri laid down next to him.
"Goodnight Mr. Izuku." Eri mumbled from where she was cuddling up next to him.
Izuku smiled down at her. "Goodnight Eri. Sleep well."
