Chapter 4 : Luck
Tatsumaki is seen walking in a corridor leading to the main building itself, she slowly took the steps downward. The silent area eased up her thinking of trying to figure out who had called her, and who was that guy in the building. She seems to be uncomfortable with the the guy and his warnings. A thought ran up to her head.
"Do not trust them." The tone of the robotic-voiced man, which is entirely menacing, ran like a current in the esper's body, turning her nervous.
"Why can't I trust them..." Tatsumaki thought, gripping her fist, but the other side of her, seems to think more positively.
"Maybe it's just a prank." She shrugged it off, thinking it's nothing but a lame trick to get her out of the building and don't do the advertisement work, after all, this would be worth it, for that 30-day off from meetings.
*CRACKLE*
"What the..." The esper felt a heavy gush of pressure inside her chest, sweat breaking down her face, she then held her chest forcefully, she thought,
"Is this... a heart attack?!" Tatsumaki, at this point is gasping for air, the pain grew even more that she lost her levitating position and fell of the ground, giving a loud thud.
"*gasp!*" The esper gave a loud yelp, but positively, the pain subsided, giving her the air she needs.
"*pant*, *pant*, The hell!?" Panting from the situation, she immediately pushed herself and stood up, walking downstairs instead of levitating, the esper gritted her teeth.
"Damnit! Why do I have this now!?..." Tatsumaki chose to walk slowly instead of levitating nor walking fast, realizing she was struck again by her "disease".
"There you are, Miss Tatsumaki, We were looking for you earlier, where were you?" McCoy asked, grabbing a glass of wine from a holographic table.
"Nothing, I just had to use the loo." Tatsumaki replied, giving off a reddish vibe on her cheeks, crossing her arms. "Where's the managers? I need to get this done quick."
"Oh, right, they haven't arrived here yet, they will arrive with Shicchi in two to three days. They still need to get prepared for the ad, you will be working with other heroes to finish it." McCoy smirked, drinking a shot of wine.
"And who are those heroes?" The esper gave a confused glare against McCoy, he just shrugged her expression.
"Let's see." McCoy paused as he touched one of the buttons in the holographic table, only to reveal the faces of one of her most hated heroes.
"Class C Rank 37, Fat Stump, Class B Rank 16, Dark Magician, and Class A Rank 1, Sweet Mask." McCoy said in a detailed tone, enjoying his drink.
"Darn it! That Sweet Mask, always thinks he's a badass and all that crap I see on TV, Whatever, but I will wreck him if he tries to do something funny." Tatsumaki thought, meanwhile, realizing a key sentence to one of her words.
"Wait, maybe the pervert on the phone thinks it's that Sour Mask too, so this is why he said if something happens..." The esper raised her finger on her chin, her head smoking as she thinks of an answer.
"But, that wouldn't make no sense at all! How does that guy even know I'm here? Is he a spy working for someone?" Her thoughts were cut by McCoy.
"There will be private rooms in that corridor, all your packed luggage is inside there, Miss Tatsumaki." The tall man spoke, grinning.
"Good, I'll see you in three days then." Tatsumaki replied, crossing her arms once more.
"Wait what? You're not gonna go out?" McCoy asked.
"I'll only go out if it's necessary, plus, there's refrigerators inside the rooms, right?" The esper replied, giving a glare.
"Yes, there is Miss Tatsumaki."
"Now, that's better, do not open the door unless I say so, and please," Tatsumaki paced through her room.
"Don't let anyone go in without my own permission." The esper said in a menacing tone, glaring against McCoy as she closed her door with a pin-code.
"Hehe, that kid never learns anything. Prepare for Phase 1." McCoy thought, grinning.
"Now I can work more privately." Tatsumaki paced her gaze on her room. It's more wider than the one in Japan, atleast that makes a difference, she thought. Walking towards one of her luggage to unpack it. Though, for the first time, she feels she doesn't need her telekinesis to put her clothes in the big wardrobe, since almost all of her outfits resembles the black dress she always wears, although, she did remember that she packed something different. She clicked the locks of her luggage, to reveal a voice-coded lock.
"Tatsumaki." The esper said in a blank tone.
As the luggage formed the words "Code Accepted" above its holographic lock, the handles of the opening quickly flicked aside, prompting the user or its owner to open it. Tatsumaki flicked both handles to reveal her dresses. But one specific outfit gained her attention, as she raised it above the air.
"Oh look, it's from Baldy's house." Tatsumaki smiled, realizing she stole Saitama's "OPPAI" jacket. The first time she saw it, it seriously was funny. Even for her, as a female, that is. She then placed it on the ground to get a gray mid-knee skirt, and a... rubber ducky.
"Wait, did I stole this too..." The esper stared at the yellow toy, as she tried to crush it, only to make it squeak. "Oh, yeah... I did." Tatsumaki then stood up, still holding the ducky in her hands.
"Even for this situation, this might get boring so I had no choice but to bring these with me." She thought, as she placed the skirt with Saitama's shirt. She then proceeded to put everything in place, putting her luggage aside. She then paced inside the bathroom to take a bath.
"Lucky Me." She gazed at the bathroom, a big bathtub with a shower, complete with conditioners and expensive soap.
"Now how to do this thing..." She flicked the faucet, with a good amount of running water, she poured a good amount of liquid soup to produce a bubble bath.
"..." As she looked the bubbling water, she then proceeded to do normal bathing.
She then dipped herself in the tub, almost submerging herself into the water, she then reached for the rubber ducky she placed on a nearby shelf, putting it infront of her.
"Now, the time to think clearly." The esper thought, giving an aura of blank. "What will happen anyways in this scrappy place? We'll only do some ordinary advertisement, that's all." The other side thought, while the other disagreed.
"No, that guy is clearly serious, and for the fact that he did that critical call for that kind of situation is weird."
"Just shrug it off, nothing will happen anyways, it's only a normal ad." The positive side of her spoke.
"I just need to find out more information of that guy." The esper thought, although something is interrupting her.
As she tried to hold down her eyes from falling from exhaustion, she fought it, but with no avail, she fell asleep in the tub.
Tatsumaki kept a fast pace, falling into the edge of oblivion. Her eyes darted the darkness below her as she fell thousands of feet, she tried to pinch nor punch herself, with no luck, she didn't even flinch in reality. She wonders as she kept a steady position, straight into the darkness.
"Oh, well, this is nice to pass time." The esper thought, realizing she is again dreaming.
The esper kept a steady pace, until she saw the white dot right under her, but on the account, she straightened her legs as her heels almost touched the white hole below her. She then imagined a large pole above her to grip her hands, her momentum made her swing back and forth until it returned to normal.
"Now, let's see what my dreams have in store for me..." Tatsumaki said in a blank tone with an expressionless face, she stared into the white hole to see something similar.
"Baldy!?" The esper exclaimed, realizing she is INSIDE his own dream. The esper had no choice but to pass the time.
"Here goes..." as she loses her grip into the metallic pole she imagined, falling straight into a branch of a tree. She floated at the top of it to see a very peculiar Saitama talking to a bunch of children.
"What is he doing?" Tatsumaki thought, hiding her face above the tree. She is used to dreams, basically if you touch them nothing will happen, even if you throw something at them. She proceeded to pick up a small rock, then threw it over the head of Saitama, only to find it bounce back.
"Wait a second, is he?" Tatsumaki tried to conceal herself by flying over a small pond, hiding behind the rocks, seeing Saitama, now searching for her, she realized as he saw her black dress, flailing over the rocks.
"Ugh, this is too much." The esper waved her arms in the air to change the entire background, in space, where the only place to help her have a good mood because of its silence. Expecting the baldy to not be in this place. Too bad, he is.
"Wait, what!?" Saitama exclaimed, as the esper heard him, suddenly placing a hand on his throat, flailing in mid-air. Now she realizing she is the one controlling this dream, and she isn't affected in it, but HE is.
"Ugh, why is he in my dreams now!?" Tatsumaki flew over Saitama, which is clearly grasping for air. She has no choice but to let him live in her dreams.
"Caped Baldy, take this as a payback since I didn't even get a taste of your udon." She spoke, as she moved him into her direction and placed her mouth on his, exhaling as much air as she can.
"Also, this is for stealing some of your stuff if you don't mind." With that, she punched him in the stomach, causing him to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere at high speed.
"I hope this counts as payback..." The esper thought, as she woke up from her dream.
Tatsumaki's eyes flared up, realizing she's been in the tub for 7 hours. She learned a new way to waste her time to make the days cycle even faster. She stood up from the tub, putting the rubber ducky on a shelf. She then flooped an extra white shirt, then Saitama's jacket, and the skirt she wanted to wear. She stared at her portrait in the mirror, almost choking on her look.
"I prefer my dark dresses, but no matter, what's wrong with it anyways..." She thought as she swiped her hair with a long comb, making it almost straight. She then realized, the color of the sky is nearing black, almost nighttime, how could she sleep when she just did? Luckily, she came prepared. She turned outside of the bathroom, clipping her towel into a dryer. Then she paced on the other direction to reveal a small bag, inside it was a laptop with the symbol T in it.
"Heh, boredom thinks he can take over me, well, not today." She thought as she placed the computer on a table, plugging it on an extension.
"Now let's see what's new." She spoke as she explored the Hero's Association website.
"Nothing new..." Tatsumaki thought, it seems that boredom is likely to take over her after all. She flipped Saitama's jacket only to smell a familiar scent.
"It's his smell... almost like a perfume." The esper blushed, seeing herself doing weird stuff again. She flopped herself in a small white bed.
"Haaaayyygh... it seems I don't really like doing anything this day huh?" She thought, as she tried sleeping, luckily, she did.
"You better go here quick, or else this plan will fail immediately!" The tall man said as he sat on his couch, holding his phone.
"Yes Boss, we will, also the glass is here. Expect it by two days." A man replied in McCoy's demands, angering him more.
"Why two days!? Couldn't it be tomorrow!?" McCoy glared, gritting his teeth and crushing his fist.
"Well Boss, we needed to simulate it in the same power as hers, this would fail and all of us would be destroyed if she found out, this needs to work." The man snickered, giving McCoy a satisfied look.
"Are you sure you sure it will do the job after your simulation?" The man asked, lightly pouring wine over his ice-filled glass.
"It's a hundred-percent chance, Boss. I'll let you know how it goes later on." The man hanged up, causing McCoy to flick his phone aswell.
"One more step closer." The man thought, as he stared into a blueprint of what it seems to be a horrifying plan, but also nervous, seeing this may not work or that his target maybe is too powerful.
