Chapter 10: Surprise
Abeck's in a bit of a pickle right now, so, keep reading to find out how everything goes.
When the faculty at UA heard about Midnight being in the hospital, many went to visit her. When asked what happened, she had told them that she went to visit Abeck. While she was there, Abeck went crazy, while she went in to help, the half dragon attacked her. After she woke up, she was unable to move do to an injured spine, a massive bruise on her back, and a large bit mark on her lower leg. When any of the heroes asked to see Abeck, the doctors and nurses all said the same thing, that she was gone. No one knew where she went, only that she jumped out the window in her room and disappeared.
Aizawa was the first to try and see Abeck after checking in on Midnight. He wanted to ask her a few questions, but unfortunately, he had to wait. Not to mention, he also had more questions when he entered the torn-up room. He looked out the windows to see if there was any trace of her path as she left the hospital. However, nothing but the city was below the window. No claw marks, no cracked roofs, not even a bent pole. So, he decided to head back to Midnights room, oblivious to the fact that he had been watched by the very person he was looking for.
After seeing how Midnight was doing, Present Mic was sitting the lobby trying to call Abeck, she had exchanged phone numbers with everyone just in case there was an emergency. He had been attempting to contact her for the past half hour to no avail. By this point, he was worried that she wasn't answering after a few hundred texts and calls. Just like Aizawa, Mic wanted to talk to her and ask her some questions. And just like every other person trying to find or contact her, Mic was being ignored. He had called the others a short while ago to see if anyone had managed to call her, but to no avail. After a few more failed calls, the voice hero decided to stop and return to the school to get some grading done. However, he had to admit, it was a lotless uneventful without Abeck constantly commenting about how horrible the students were at grammar and spelling.
All Might had run around the city for hours once he had checked on Midnight. He asked many civilians, as well as other pro heroes, if they had seen Krosis anywhere. The only response he got was no, but several people also asked for his autograph, which wasted some of his time limit. By the time All Might got back to the school, his time limit was completely up, and he was exhausted. All Might had checked over the entire city, and there was no trace of Abeck, anywhere. He had even checked in the sewers and parks for any sign of her. However, now he needed to rest, and he would ask around later if anyone had seen her.
Nezu was the only faculty member from UA that even considered that Abeck would be heading to her home. He talked to Snipe and they both went over to her house as soon as possible, after making sure Midnight would be alright. While driving through the forest, they both could swear that they saw some sort of creature watching them in the forest. Snipe called it out as a large tanuki, but Nezu thought it was some kind of large cat.
Once they got to the mansion, Snipe pulled out his guns, just in case, as they walked to the door. Once they got on to the porch, talking could be heard from inside the house. One voice was distinctively Abeck's, but the other was unknown, but clearly male. It was also hard to tell what they were talking about considering the entire talk was in Spanish. The two visitors rang the doorbell and the talking from inside the house stopped. When Abeck opened the door, she looked surprisingly neutral at the appearance of Nezu and Snipe.
"What?" Abeck sounded as uninterested as she looked.
"Well, I was wondering if we could talk for a bit." Nezu looked apprehensive at the fact that Abeck looked indifferent about everything. "May we come in?"
She grunted, and side stepped, but otherwise let the heroes enter her home. The entrance hall was just as cluttered as the last time they had visited, but definitely more dusty. Abeck went back to the kitchen as Nezu and Snipe go to sit down at the table. Katchi was sleeping calmly on his bed, but as the two visitors looked around, they could not see anyone who Abeck could have been talking too. Eventually, the silence became awkward. Abeck sat down at the table and was, for some reason, now eating a large bowl of rice, grilled steak, seared salmon, three donuts, an entire pizza, and multiple dumplings.
"So," Snipe decided to break the tension, "Hungry?"
"Considering I was knocked out for a few days, and that I need to eat around 16,000 calories a day, yes, I am hungry." After she said that, someone spoke in Spanish, then started laughing. Snipe had his guns out almost immediately, Nezu looked around, and Abeck stayed clam as she spoke again. "Are you two done?"
As Snipe was looking around for the speaker, Nezu addressed Abeck, "Is there someone else here?"
"Ya," she replied with seemingly less interest than before, "Comet."
"Who?"
"My friend Comet showed up out of nowhere, again."
Snipe interjected, "I thought you said you didn't have friends."
"I said I don't like being near people, not that I don't have friends," she looked highly unconcerned as she downed half a pizza.
"Then where is 'Comet'?" Nezu was curious about Abeck's friend, he also hoped that whoever it is, is not another dragon.
"Look up." Abeck wasn't the one who talked, and when the two visitors looked up, there was someone sitting on the ceiling. A joyful grin was plastered on his face, his hair was a mix between dark blue, light blue, and purple, and his eyes looked like they were nebulas floating in space. "Nice to meet ya!" He was insanely happy, it was a strange contrast when next to Abeck.
Abeck turned all of her attention back to her food as Comet jumped, yes jumped, down from the ceiling and gently floated to the floor. He spent a while being confused at the teacher's faces, who wouldn't be surprised at seeing someone on the ceiling, he looked back at Abeck. "Te vas a comer el pimiento en la alacena?"
"Knock yourself out." Comet let out a shriek of happiness and sprinted into the kitchen. It was strange Snipe and Nezu to see Abeck care so little about anything. After finishing all the food in front of her she looked at her guests, "So, what did you come here for?"
"Well, there are many, including ourselves, that have questions about what happened." Nezu cut to the chase immediately, he hoped that she would be cooperative when answering anything they asked.
"Well that's new," her voice was laced with sarcasm then went serious, "people always have questions Ratatouille, mainly directed at what the hell I am, but they still have questions. So, you may as well ask whatever you want, but you should know that I may not answer all of them." As Comet exited the kitchen with several bags of ghost peppers, Abeck entered it and came back out with five plates of tacos.
"Very well," Nezu waited until Abeck came back to start asking questions. Snipe sat next to him and watched Comet scarf down a sickening amount ghost peppers. "Care to explain the harsh training lessons with class 1B that Recovery Girl told me about?"
"Ok, first of all, that training was a light warm up," she retorted, "your students didn't even fight very hard on account of not wanting to hurt each other. So, the injuries they got were minor compared to what they would have gotten if they actually fought like they should have."
"Excuse me?" 'Fight like they should have' did not sound good to the tiny principal, "What do you mean by that?"
"I mean that your students have no clue how to fight real people. They can handle robots, but they won't use their quirks against people, at all. It's a problem best solved sooner rather than later."
Nezu sighed, "you have a point." He would admit that Abeck had a point with her observations, but he still didn't appreciate that she was making them use their quirks against each other. "What about the way you acted at the USJ?"
"That's simple, something ticked me off, the dragon was unleashed, and I had a hard time trying to contain it. By the time I could, my only option was to black myself out. It was either that or I let the dragon kill everyone in the facility."
"Your answers are very vague, but continuing, why did you attack Midnight at the hospital?"
"You and I both. Keep in mind, I have no recollection of what happens when the dragon is in control. Not to mention, I was asleep the who time and was probably more surprised then you to wake up in that destroyed room with an injured college on the floor."
"So, your response was to run?" Snipe interjected, "Not to help?"
"Oh, I helped, I punched the door down to get everyone's attention, then I ran." It was quite a mystery how she finished all the tacos, but she did. "Oh, and by the way," she handed Nezu something, then stood up.
"You're resigning?!" Snipe was shocked about as much as Nezu, he expected her to do something about the public, the media, and the students being afraid of her, but not this.
"Yup, I'm resigning and moving away, so now I need to go pack. Comet's in charge while I'm busy, see ya later," and with that she exited the living room. Snipe and Nezu turn to Comet who was smiling like usual.
"Hi! I'm Comet, I like pizza, and planes, and dogs, and TV, and CAKE," Comet started rambling and wouldn't stop. Both Snipe and Nezu though about leaving for a bit after the next several minutes of Comet's talking. However, Nezu still had questions, so they stayed, despite the fact that Comet was talking for nearly an hour straight.
Welcome back to my horrible end cards.
This was chapter 10, yay resignations!
Also, Comet is one of my favorite OCs, he's very kind, fun loving, and a talker if you couldn't tell. He's also very bad ass when he wants to be.
