My p.o.v.
Groaning I open my eyes holding my head. The bed was super uncomfortable and squeaked with every move making me wonder what the hell happened.
I blink at the brick ceiling and hear chains rattling confusing me. Looking around I realize I was in a jail cell, Nikki's voice drew my attention. Though I couldn't see her as she was out of sight.
"This isn't right! You saw her! She was defending herself!" Nikki growled at someone.
"Young Nikki, she is a danger to herself and others. If it was anyone else who got hit they could have been killed." The person argued back sounding familiar.
"But it wasn't. Come on Gummy! You know we just got our quirks she doesn't know how to control it yet!" Nikki says making me rub my face.
My hands shook with anger. The dude was right, right now I was livid. I wanted to destroy the whole city brick by fucking brick and watch it burn to ash.
I sit on the edge my head down staring at the chains around my ankles and wrists just listening.
"I'm sorry Nikki but AllMight is right. She's dangerous right now. You won't tell us what made her change overnight so she'll have to remain in lock up until she can control her quirk...even then it's not up to me if she can get out." Gummy says softly sounding conflicted.
Tears threaten to fall so I make fists my nails biting into my hands as i softly call out. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been there last night, I know better than to drink that much."
Footsteps were heard and I could feel two heated glares.
I look up seeing AllMight looking pissed along with Gummy while Nikki looked hopeless.
I drop my head, last night was a blur. "Fuck what happened last night?" I mutter closing my eyes holding my head.
"Dude you sang. On live News. You tossed AllMight like a ragdoll and if it weren't for Gummy here you would have destroyed half of downtown in one hit. That's What happened. I showed up just in time to see you elbow him before yelling sorry and passing out." Nikki explains exasperation clear in her voice.
I pull on my hair my head going in between my knees. "Shit...I'm in pretty big trouble aren't I?" Glancing up she nods as I notice Gummy was completely skinny now. "I'm sorry the last thing I remember is….."
Bolting up I realize what had happened. "That asshole tried to take my quirk! That's why the alcohol hit me all at once!" I pale remembering my meeting Hawks. "Chicken Nugget saved me… he interrupted telling me to go sing or something. I remember saying fuck it, its a dream because there's no way two hot guys would talk to me."
Nikki smacks her face before getting who I meant. "Woah wait. Hawks and Overhaul?! Why those two?!"
At those names AllMight and Gummy exchanged looks wondering how Nikki had understood that. Heads snapping to Sarah at those names.
"I'll call Hawks to confirm the story." AllMight says walking away pulling out his phone.
I walk over to the bars. "Dude think we should?" I ask in a look to Nikki tilting my head toward Gummy.
She looked hesitant before a slight nod. "Looks like we'll have to, we have to get you out. It's probably our best bet." She responds without actually talking.
Sighing I lean against the bars feeling a shock for a second before nothing. "Gummy can we talk? Privately? "
Nikki wanders off after AllMight as Gummy nods crossing his arms still looking upset.
"I am sorry for last night. My mood changed because I found out I can't go home and have to end my engagement. It broke me so I went for a walk, I went to the club for directions back to the house. A guy hit on me wouldn't take no so I sent him packing, bartender gave me drinks." I slide down to sit my legs still wobbly from walking for hours.
He sits in front of me nodding showing he was listening. "We're alone right no other people in cells?" At his nod I sigh and continue. "Nikki and I aren't from around here as you know but what we didn't say is this isn't our world. Some, how we got transported here from another dimension."
I look up at him to see if he believes me or not and see his wide eyes. "So you're the two girls Hazel meant! I should have realized sooner! No wonder your quirks just manifested. "
Its my turn to be confused. "What?"
He leans forward resting his hands in his lap. "Hazel told me they had brought two women here from another dimension to help against some future villains we'd need help with. But it confused me she said with her last breath she wasn't sure they chose good people for it. That they may destroy the world."
A sharp laugh escapes me as I lean against the wall and cell bars. "Well honestly I'm pretty fucking pissed. I want to destroy everything, why the fuck would I want to save the world who took everything from me."
What I didn't know is when I met his eyes is the giant of a man actually felt a bit fearful of me even though I was chained and behind bars.
Sighing I rub my face dropping my shoulders too tired to carry through it. "But there are people here that I want to save so whatever guess I'll get over it. Can't take it out on people that are innocent seems the people who took me are dead."
"Well seems this is all new to you and we do have a procedure for this as it isn't the first time. I'll handle it and get you home though I do have a condition. If you want help out of here no more drinking alone." He says standing.
"Deal...thank you Gummy. I owe you." I say smiling up at him not bothering to get up.
"The bars must be short circling as there's usually elect…."he says frowning going to touch the bar before cursing and yanking his hand back to him.
I raise an eyebrow wondering what happened.
"How are you not getting shocked? The bars are electrified. "
I blink touching the bar feeling nothing. "Uh….dunno? My quirk is weird I can't figure out what it is."
He shrugs seeming to go back to his normal self now, not angry like he had been.
"Well we'll figure it out together then. And I expect you to talk with me about this losing everything bit. We could find a way s or you to keep in touch with your family and fiance." He says pointing at me.
I pull my knees to my chest laying my head against the bars. "Sure…"
I didn't remember dozing off but suddenly I was engulfed in a hug before being punched in the arm.
"Don't you ever do that again! Especially without me!" Nikki yells pointing at me.
I rub my face looking around seeing AllMight behind her with the keys looking much calmer.
"So Ms. Sarah I hear your from a different dimension you'll have to tell me about this world sometime."
I stand with a little help from Nikki. "What time is it?"
"Around seven." Is Nikki's response.
"Huh cool I got twelve hours of sleep. No wonder why I passed out." I mutter as AllMight uncuffs me.
Nikki's head snaps to me as she raises and eyebrow. "A night?"
I rub my wrists knowing I was about to get yelled at. "Uhhhh the past five days?"
Just as expected she punches me in the arm. But what wasn't expected was me losing my balance from the force and slamming into the bars.
Nikki goes to help me but AllMight holds her back to keep her from being electrocuted. "Shit! Dude, I'm sorry!"
Waving her off I right myself getting off the bars and slinging an arm around her shoulders exhausted and starving. "Not your fault, I should have taken better care of myself. Cause this is bullshit."
He releases her and she helps support me seems my body was at it's limits from lack of fuel and sleep. "No shit Sherlock. Let me guess you haven't eaten since yesterday morning." She says rolling her eyes and sighing at my guilty smile.
She guides me out of the cell half carrying me into the station.
She signs some papers so I could be released and then helps me outside.
Gummy stands there arms crossed turning as we exited. "What's wrong with her?" He questions coming over bending down to inspect us.
Nikki glares at me the entire time as she rats me out. "This fool has only eaten a meal a day for five days, oh lets not forget only slept what twelve hours for those five days so her body is giving out on her."
I pull away pointing at her slightly offended by the truth. "Ya know what. I don't need to be attacked like that. I'm fine...physically at least. Mentally we all know I need work done there."
I huff shoving my hands in my hoodie pocket and start walking towards the house.
Hearing a huff I knew Nikki was following though hearing heavier foot steps makes me turn my head.
Before I can react Gummy had squatted down in front of me holding out his arms. "Hop on, you're in no condition to be walking that distance. "
My face feels hot as I back up. "Uh I'm ok. Really. I can walk back."
This man was a goddamn God and getting a piggyback ride from him would both terrify me and be the best thing ever.
"Either hop on or I'm going to carry you one way or another. Until I know you are stable I am not leaving your side."
I literally froze, in both shock and fear. He had earned my number one favorite from all animes and goddamit this would kill me.
Nikki snickers to herself giving me a push forward.
I fall straight into his back and before I could react my feet were off the ground and hands under my legs so I had to wrap my arms around his neck or fall.
Looking down I could see my feet were like four feet from the ground and being this close I could smell his cologne. My breathing becomes shallow as I try not to breath worried I was too heavy.
Nikki laughs at me openly now. "I think you broke her."
He turns his head to look at me and I grab his face stopping him knowing I could no way take his face being this close to mine without passing out at this point or embarrassing myself.
"Too close. Not used to this." I mutter an excuse making him chuckle.
Which about made me fall because it was a deep rumbling from him.
"Alrighty, let's get you two home then. " he says and I release his face just laying my head on his shoulder.
I end up dozing off but not fully. I was in between being awake and being asleep.
"So thanks for bailing her out.." Nikki says sounding awkward.
The entire time we walked I could hear her phone going off with her message tone.
"Well she doesn't seem like a villain and seems to be a very caring person who just made a mistake. Though if I'm being honest her quirk is a bit frightening. Her hit last night rivaled AllMights smashes. " he responds seeming to tense up.
"We don't even know what it is yet. At first we thought it was a hardening quirk but then she got night vision then last night the wind and the sheer strength was insane." She responds.
"Well now we can figure it out together. What happened before her quirk activated?" He questions.
Nikki was quiet a moment before explaining what happened at the hotel and how she found me in the dark garage the other night.
He was quiet and I felt him adjust his hold. "Perhaps it's her instincts? When she feels something such as danger her body adjusts to what is needed? Or her emotions? Such as fear of being cut hardened her skin and fear of being burned turned it to scales. Is she afraid of the dark?"
Nikki seems to think a moment before responding. "I honestly don't know what all her fears are her family taught her to hide all things people could use against her. So she keeps everyone at a distance. Though she did let in her fiance…"
My grip tightens subconsciously as I bury my head more.
"That's all I'm saying she can tell you more if she wants. But she definitely has a full plate." Nikki mutters and her ringtone stops suddenly.
I slip into a dreamless slumber.
Waking momentarily as I felt like I was falling. Realizing Gummy was setting me on my bed I release my hold and crawl back a bit.
"Thanks." I mumble sliding under the blanket not caring about being dressed still.
He turns smiling. "Sure, I'll be making your floor my bed for a while." He says making me frown.
Then I remembered he said he wouldn't be leaving because I was a danger.
Looking down I scoot back to the otherside of the bed, it was plenty big enough and I felt bad enough.
"I'm sorry….no floor. Beds plenty big enough." I say taking from the mountain of pillows and making a wall in between the sides.
"You sure? It's really no biggie." He says watching me.
I nod turning over to face the wall holding a pillow. "Yeah."
I feel the bed dip and hear some rustling before silence.
Hugging the pillow tighter tears fall, I would have to break so many people's hearts today all the while pretending I was dead or dying.
The next time I woke up it was afternoon. I sit up looking over my shoulder seeing Gummy awake just laying shirtless and maskless playing on his phone.
I rub my face with one hand waving to him with the other. Getting up I trudge to my desk hearing the vibrating of my phone and seeing a video call request from David.
I stare at it not wanting to ignore him, I wanted to talk and find comfort but knew I couldn't do that to him.
Setting the phone down still going off I trudge downstairs to the kitchen for some coffee.
I felt more rested which was nice as my coffee heats up, I look in the fridge for food not hearing Gummy come in behind me.
My stomach growls, spotting a bag of carrots I grab one and munch on it while I pull out other things to cook. I didn't feel like eating but my stomach was demanding food.
Plus I figured Gummy would be hungry too. Turning around I nearly drop everything upon seeing him with his hoodie on but only zipped half way.
I blink at him setting all the stuff on the counter. Nikki chose then to walk in probably hearing us moving around.
I didn't feel like making food but I needed to do something.
"How'd you sleep?" She questions seeming to smirk.
'How'd sleeping with this man go?' Her expression said.
'Dude until I break it off I am still taken plus there's no way he'd be interested in this blob.' I return as i begin prepping for some massive amount of spaghetti a comfort food of mine.
'Oh he is definitely interested, why else would he hang around? Definitely not for my jokes.'
I make my coffee the way I like it asking Gummy. "Want some?" Giving Nikki my look of response.
'Uh cause I made myself public enemy number one by tossing AllMight through half of downtown.'
"Sure, thanks," Gummy responds before pointing between Nikki and I "why does it feel like you two are talking without talking?"
Nikki and I share a look before looking at him. "It's a friend thing." We say in unison.
I pour and slid his coffee over to him as he takes a seat as does Nikki.
"I don't know about you two but I'm having my salad now." I say grabbing a bowl and making a salad.
They both shrug. "Sure." Nikki says.
I pull out two more bowls and put the fixings in between all of us.
"I can't believe you want this rabbit food, I'm a warrior damnit!" Nikki mutters as she fixes her salad we both knew that was a lie though as she did like salads sometimes.
Rolling my eyes I shove a forkful into my mouth turning to stir the meat and check to see if the water was boiling for the noodles. I freeze hearing my phone going off again. The food became sour in my mouth.
Letting out a breath I push back the meat just watching it brown as the ringtone plays in the background.
"Can you watch this Nikki? I'm going to go talk with them." I ask not turning around unable to without showing the tears in my eyes.
"Yeah I got this go do what you need to." she says quietly and I walk away not letting them see my face.
