Chapter 15
I waited for the rest after having my shower, many doubled up and moved quickly to clean up and re-dress after all we had food to prepare and cook along with Toga and Compress doing 'shopping.' They had no clue how to cook so it seemed, I huffed "not like that, this is how you do it," I showed them how to use a freaking knife, something they should have been able to excel at but apparently not. "Just don't put veggies in it, I hate them" I heard Shigaraki mumble the last part, I rolled my eyes at them, they were seriously a bunch of children, there was no difference I swear. I finished making as many dishes as I could using up all the fresh food Hawks and Compress got. Finally we all sat down enjoying everything, I was surprised to get compliments, it made me smile and seeing them all sitting down together now with Compress and Toga back from collecting all we needed into one of Compresses little marbles, I could see that they were more like a family and they seemed 'normal' for a moment, you wouldn't think they were the league of villains.
It was nearly morning when we finished eating and Hawks sat up abruptly "people are on the main road making their way to our position I suggest we make way now." "Alright time to head back to the cabin," we all left not caring about the home, it wasn't going to be used anymore anyway, apparently the whole town was in on this meta army thing, a lot of the information went over my head. But long story short was they believed only the strong should be on top and weak have nothing, I found it stupid if that was true then a brainless monster like gigantomachia would rule everything and all others who are smart and needed to make society and run the world would be treated like shit and have nothing. I listened as the others talked about how they were stupid in their cult like thinking, sure things needed to change but that was just downright a horrific future to think off, nothing sounded better in all honesty.
I followed the others into the wooded mountains that surrounded the city of Deika on all sides, "it will be a long trek," Compress spoke up as I asked "what about the big guy," "he finished sleeping, he would make his way back to his previous location," I made an understanding noise and left it at that. "So Bambi what's your grandmother's name?" I looked up a little surprised Giran had spoken up for the first time with me other than his confused thanks as he was oblivious to the happenings while he had slept. "Ah her name is Karin, and you can call me Lisa…Bambi's stupid as a name for anyone," the others smiled including Giran "we know" many nodded along and I was now aware they did it for their own amusement.
Giran asked many questions about who I was, what I did, where I lived, where I studied and who my mother was and everything and anything, I thought he was just being nice and I answered but then he stated "ah I know your mother, well not personally, she had taken a loan from me years ago…bad back and kid to feed," I raised a brow at his words, it actually claimed a lot of attention from the group. "Yeah I think the first time was when I heard about her as a young adult, some guy had boasted about getting into her pants…was not consensual though" I paused knowing what he was talking about, "about 20 years ago give or take, my old mind doesn't work as good anymore." I tightened my jaw as many listened and looked in, and Giran acted and played dumb as if he only just noticed the tense atmosphere "say if you want the guy's name I can give it to you," I gave him a glare "no" I snapped and it stayed quite till finally a while later it was safe for small talk between the others but Shigaraki liked quiet and so we stayed silent.
A flat top of a mountain, a nice fresh water stream not too far away and a cabin with an open living, dining and kitchen room and a small end room with a bedroom set up, it was a bunk bed and no bathroom besides an outhouse. The slow rot of the wooden boards and the destroyed couch, bed mattresses and so on was something I would not allow anyone to sleep on even if they were near dead, "perhaps we should not be staying in a place where the bubonic plague can spring up from." I did not want to move unless it was out of the cabin and so I did going over to Hawks, Dabi, Toga, Twice and Compress who were prepared to set up everything that came out of the marble, the others sat on the porch in the sun considering how cold it was now that the end of the year was here. We set up the tents, and sorted everything out and set it up or stored it in appropriate places; the tents were nice and warm. They was a large three bed tent and a smaller double tent, plus the two bunks and the couch it only made us one bed or tent short but it was obvious they were used to doubling up or sharing.
Before Toga could call dibs on anything I shouted "dibs on sharing with Dabi or Hawks!" I blushed upon noticing just how loud I was, "ah I knew it you like me~" "shut it you, I am not getting stuck with her," "good~" Shigaraki smirked "because all three of you can stick together in the small tent and for once we can spread out and have a bed each." Dabi acted uncaring but spoke up "you know I need to get back to recruiting," "we don't need that right now, we have Hawks to keep surveillance and a healer plus Twice is an army alone seeing he has unlocked his quirk as have most of us, we should slow down right now seeing as we have two new recruits still to train." His smile said something else but I had no clue what it was and Dabi simply shrugged agreeing to the leader, the others got ready getting to bed, seeing as we had walked most of the day away to the cabin as the temperature dropped dramatically as the sunset.
