Chapter 10: Welcome Intern

Out of all the decisions Black Hat made this was one of the most insane. However Flug would rather die before saying that , he would die if he said that. So instead of voicing his opinion and risking his throat getting ripped out he grudgingly decided to focus on the assignment Black Hat had ordered him to prioritize.

"I rather be in charge of Dementia" Flug grumbled as he went to check on his live patient. He doubled check the medical case and her readings. It was safe to say her body was reaching its limit before she was lucky( or unlucky) enough to encounter a medical genius such as him.

Yes he normally does the opposite of a doctor but hey how hard is it to keep a single person alive?

That is if the person wasn't awfully malnourished , suffering multiple vitamin deficits, extensive skin trauma, some infections, mild radiation poisoning and now in a coma.'The universe loves to humble me at every single turn! ' He bitterly thought," Hopefully she has awoken by now its already been a week"

A long week of making sure she didn't flat line , assuring his boss that his investment hasn't died, and keeping an eye on Dementia to make sure she doesn't eat the poor thing.

He let out a strangled sigh wondering what the heck she's been through. Her x-ray showed healed fractures in her arms and legs not to mention her body has been cannibalizing itself for who knows how long. Thankfully he has been creating a nutrient rich diet for her when she finally wakes up.

When Hanna awoke her eyes were hurtfully blurry." What a crazy dream" She nearly jumped at the withered cracked voice that met her ears. Was that her? How long has she's been a sleep? Her voice sounded worse than normal. And why does her bed feel softer than the usual hardness? And why was the ceiling black?

"Where…ah!? " She let out a hacking cough when her eyes met the eyes of the blue bear thing dusting a mahogany dresser. While wearing an old fashioned maid outfit. One this was a nightmare induced hallucination. Or that nightmarish dream was real. Maybe it was a bit of both, but that didn't ease the shock she saw right now.

"Grr?" The bear thing looked up from its cleaning to see Hanna staring slack based at it. Its big eyes gleamed as it let out a happy noise out of surprise seeing her awake. Hanna smiled awkwardly at the admittedly cute thing whose flower seemed to perk up seeing her.

Immediately forgetting the feather duster that clattered on the floor the blue bear thing disappeared strange sounds of excitement(?) echoed after it's hurried footsteps. She was only able to blink before a rapid set of panicked footsteps barged in.

A flustered bag wearing Flug entered nearly sliding in the room due to his speed. Hanna wondered how his face covered bag could sweat like it did. She watched as he took in a few ragged breaths hand pressed against his chest,"Hah! Hah, Y-you're finally awake! For a s-second I thought, I thought you were brain dead!"

He let out another shaky breath his flustered voice turning serious as he glared at her "S-serious, seriously you gave me a lot of trouble ! Do you know what type of condition, th-that your body is in?!"

"Not only are you severely underweight, your blood sugar is very low, you have at least a dozen vitamin deficits , not to mention the long term effects of your bodies cannibalization on it self seriously have y-you been eating anything?!"

"Well I-"

" Oh and lets talk about where the heck your radiation poisoning is coming from! That's right radiation poisoning! "

Hanna just held in her words as he rattled off a dozen other things wrong with her body getting increasingly upset. When he finally paused to take a breath she said," Uh, um sorry to ask b-but where am I?"

"The Hat Manor. Black Hat Inc. HQ" Flug replied bitterly at his new intern.

"Oh." The woman in front of him remained silent before letting out a loud ,"WHAT?!"

He reflexively flinched at the loud crack that resounded from her body when she sat up . She then comically fell back onto the bed with a flop.

"…Did-Did you just break your spine?"

"…Maybe. I think I hadn't had any calcium in like years"

let out an exasperated sigh face in one of his gloved hands. Ignoring the cluelessness in her voice he gingerly sat down on a nearby stool. Thankfully she didn't emit that much radiation that would warrant a hazmat suit.

"Okay first things first," He cleared his throat straightening his posture whipping out his clipboard turning to the page to his introductory speech," Congratulations Miss Love Arrow for entering the fully new highly experimental tutoring program for new villains ! "

"Yay" He said half-heartedly," You are so lucky that you get the experience that all of villain kind had killed for: you'll be taught in person by Black Hat leader, owner , and founder of Black Hat Inc. supplier for all your villainous needs"

Although his words made it sound like a great opportunity his face was crinkled in frown.

"W-wait I-I'll be ta-taught b-by B-black Hat?!" came the ex-heroines reply.

"Well techinally you'll be mostly taught by me since he has other things to do, but yes he will oversee your lessons in villainy"

"But before we start-" He paused when 5.0.5 entered with a tray fully laden with freashly cooked medical dishes ," You need to eat your fill"

"Um that uh looks nice" Hanna said as the bear thing er, 5.0.5 propped her up with pillows ,then taking out that collapsible tray over her lap placing a lovely looking soup into front of her. She gave him a weak smile as a few Hat-Bots brought in a tv stand complete with a tv and her. "Please eat your breakfast as you watch Black Hat Inc. Introduction videos, they have everything you need from basic rules for villains and know how"

"Be aware that you will be needed to answer a quiz of what you learned-is there something wrong with it?" He looked at her in confusion when the ex-heroine spat out the spoonful of soup. Hanna wiped her mouth feeling guilty at the look of worry on 5.0.5's face. "N-no . Its-its just me. S-see I can't handle foods with a strong taste, any weird textures make me sick , and- and I'm really sensitive to certain smells"

"Tell me it's not some kind of eating disorder?" Flug couldn't help but groan," Because that would explain your weight, and malnutrition. " He pinched the bridge of his nose in aggravation. Its looks like he has to synthesize some nutrient bricks: they're completely tasteless, scentless and above all edible.

"Any thing else? How about the radiation poisoning?" Flug was already calculating ways to get rid of it still upset that wasn't able to dissect her.

Hanna bit her lip in worry looking at the tired but expectant look in his eyes. Yes she should tell him but maybe he was testing her? Surely he would be able to access her medical files.

Seeing the hesitant look in her eyes Flug only let out a groan when his watch went off. If he wasted any more time on this his boss would send him to that dimension. Again. Taking a second to cool his nerves he stood up trying to act more calm then he felt. "Look I'm not expecting you to trust me. And frankly I don't trust you either. But since for now I'll be in charge of your welfare and health."

"For now just try to eat some of the dishes. I'll just save the rest for leftovers" He was half way out the door before he turned around voice dripping with sarcastic happiness," Oh and Welcome to Black Hat Inc. Intern"
