Reluctantly Jiro followed Scarecrow back to his lab. It wasn't like she really had a choice since the collar was still on with the needles injected. She was really hating this thing right now too. Not only was it already painful just to move her neck,, but she couldn't even talk. So as the entered the lab she was surprised when Scarecrow asked her to lay back in the chair.
"Come now it wont be that bad," He said as he stepped aside to let her walk through. "Plus I wont use the restraints if you behave."
Well what choice did she have. Well at least he said he wasn't going to use the restraints on her. She still had a few tears from when she was struggling to get out of them. So again she reluctantly laid back down onto the chair, and true to his words Scarecrow did not put the restraints on her. she breathed a sgh of relief.
"Now then I take it the needles are still hurting?" He asked her. "Hold up your right hand for yes and left hand for no."
Jiro raised her right hand.
"Alright then." He said as he pressed a button n the remote and Jiro felt the needles retract back into the collar.
The feeling of it was, well lets just say it was a few moments of hell before relief washed over her. Of course after the pain of when the collar was first put on her it was really nothing.
"Now then I would currently advise against talking for an hour." Scarecrow warned her as he was setting the remote down.
Jiro's eyes followed him as he walked across the lab toward a locker. After he opened it he seemed to get enveloped in looking for something. So Jiro had two options to chose from. On one hand she could continue to lay here and go through whatever else the villain had in store for her. On the other she coud make a break for what was obviously her collars control remote. After few seconds she decided she would make a break for the remote.
"Also just a word to the wise your collar has a remote shock feature." Scarecrow said from here he was rummaging.
Ok now she was scared again. This collar around her neck... WAS ELECTRIC! Why was he JUST NOW telling her this! Did he get his kicks from watching her squirm? Actually that would make sense since he broadcasted her suffering during the last experiment on her. Just a she was about to screw it and lash out at him in an attempt to get away, he came back over. As he set what he was carrying down on the table he grabbed her collar remote.
"Now then for this to work I'm going to need to put you under." Scarecrow said as he grabbed a syringe filled with his sedative compound.
Jiro tried to back up but found she was still on the chair. And by the time she was getting up he already had the syringe on her neck and she instantly fell asleep.
"Good. Glad to see compound CKO-285 works." He said before he took out his phone again.
Almost immediately it was answered.
"Times up!"
Everyone was on edge at UA. After it was deemed there was no bomb, and after searching every person and place people were starting to relax a little. That was until the matter of finding Jiro and keeping everyone safe came back up. A few of the Hero's who had been called that didn't work for UA wanted to just storm the city and find them. While others wanted to respect his threat since he seemed to be following what he said he would do. And a few, one in particular didn't want anything to do with the operation and just came to keep up his rep.
"What is your opinion on the matter Endeavor?" Nezu asked the man with flames coming off of his body.
The man in question the number two pro hero Endeavor A.K.A Enji Todoroki just grunted in response.
"In my opinion this is a waste of time!" He said blatantly and not sugarcoating everything.
The people in the rom were taken aback by his reply. A student at their school, a Hero in training at that was being held captive by a villain, who broadcasted her screaming in pain while being experimented on. And he says this is a WASTE OF TIME! He's lucky they had better things to do rather than kick his sorry ass.
"How can you say that! We have a student being held hostage here!" Midnight screamed at him.
They did still have time to yell at him though.
"I have to agree." Thirteen said but much more calmly. "Judging from the small clip that was played it appears she is currently undergoing torture from this villain."
"Its her fault for being captured!" Endeavor said grunting.
Ok now people were starting to get ticked at him. Especially Erasure Head. Who did what nobody would expect and used his capture gear on Endeavor.
"Listen here you smug BASTARD!" Erasure Head said growling. "This villain does not JOKE AROUND! I was in the hospital for over a month from my first encounter with him! So if you think I will just stand idly by and let one of my students be a lab rat for this villain, then you better have another DAMNED IDEA COMING!"
Endeavor merely growled and grabbed Erasure Heads capture gear, but it was quickly snatched back by Erasure Head. Just as it seemed the two were going to kill each other a phone in the room went off.
"Excuse me I have to take this." Present Mic said. "Its personal."
As Nezu nodded and shooed him out of the room, he returned to the issue of Erasure Head vs Endeavor.
"Come now we are all Hero's here so lets act like it." Nezu said trying to calm the two down.
Erasure Head sighed and nodded in agreement, with Endeavor just grunting and crossing his arms.
"Now then both of you please apologize so we may move on." Nezu asked as the two Pro Hero's looked at each other.
Naturally Erasure Head was the one to apologize properly, while Endeavor just gave his usual style of remark. So with both of them no longer trying to kill eachother the topic of the room returned to the plan on how to rescue Jiro from Scarecrow. However little did they know he was hearing everything said in the room.
Izuku was currently moving about his lab. He had so much to do in so little time to get them done. He had roughly about one hour until Jiro woke up and he wasn't about to waste it. Plus now he had her file from his contact. He also had the conversation going on in the Hero meeting being recorded for him to listen to later. He actually found it funny that the Hero's were so careless as to not remove phones from the room they were meeting in. But back on the subject of Jiro and her file he was rather impressed.
Student number 12 in her class. Ranked 17 in Erasure Heads quirk apprehension test. And is currently number 7 in Class A's grades. He even had information on her parents and her quirk.
"Shares Quirk 'Earphone Jack' with mother." Izuku muttered to himself as he was reading her file. "Quirk allows her to channel her heartbeat into any object the jacks plug into. Jacks can stretch to a distance of up to 6 meters." Izuku continued. "Rather impressive. And quite useful for what the collar is made for." Izuku said chuckling. "Although I already knew what her quirk did, but now I have all the details."
Izuku was rather happy with what he had. First off he not only had UA at his mercy as they couldn't risk the safety of his "Hostage", lest it tarnish their reputation. They were even so careless to not know they had a little wolf in the sheep's clothing.
"I wonder if they called my bluff yet?" Izuku said to himself as he walked back over to Jiro in the chair and pressed a button on the collar.
In all honesty he made up the bluff on the fly just to keep up the appearance of being a mastermind and scare everyone. But he could dawdle on that later as he was currently looking at Jiro from head to toe for the second time. He did have to give it to her since she had a decent figure. In all honesty he didn't follow the "Bigger Is Better" rule for women's (Cough Cough) assets. Plus her hero suit did give off a rocker vibe.
However just as he lost track of time admiring her, she started stirring awake. Deciding it was best to not get caught staring he simply grabbed on of his notebooks and acted like he was preparing to take notes.
"What happened?" Jiro asked rubbing her eyes before realizing she just talked.
"Vocal capabilities normal." Izuku muttered writing down his first observation.
"Now then do you feel anything unusual?" Izuku asked as Jiro shook her head. "Ok. So far so good." Izuku muttered. "Now then if you would please follow me." Izuku basically ordered.
Jiro followed him as they left the lab. What surprised her was the fact they were going outside. She once again debated on escape but decided against it. While she didn't like being a hostage, she really didn't like the thought of going through the pain again. So after 5 minutes of walking they arrived outside, and into an alleyway not letting her see the surrounding area.
'Great!' Jiro internally groaned.
"Now then if I understand correctly your quirk allows you to channel your heartbeat into whatever your jacks are plugged into?" Izuku asked shocking Jiro.
'HOW THE HELL DOES HE KNOW WHAT MY QUIRK DOES!' Jiro screamed in her head surprised.
"Yeah." She said sheepishly.
"Alright then." Izuku said writing something down in his notebook. "Now if you may, please plug your jacks into the ports on the collar."
'Wait there are ports on this thing.' Jiro said in her head.
"Ok..." Jiro said as she plugged in her jacks.
She felt a slight sting in her throat when she did that, but it wasn't painful.
"Alright then pump your heartbeat into it." Izuku said using his pen to point at a dumpster about 50ft down the alley.
Ok now Jiro was VERY concerned. If she pumped her heartbeat into this collar what would happen. Did the thing have any release mechanism. Or would it explode. She didn't want to find out.
"What's supposed to happen?" Jiro asked trying to sound calm.
"Oh right I forgot." Izuku said as he grabbed the remote and pressed the button on it again.
Only this time when the needles pierced into her neck they didn't hurt, but felt rather natural. In truth she wouldn't mind having them like this apart from the fact that they were needles INSIDE her throat!
"And I just pump my heartbeat into it?" Jiro asked nervous.
"Either that or enough wattage to put a normal person into a coma." Izuku said holding his finger dangerously close to the yellow button with a electric bolt symbol.
Gulping Jiro decided to do it.
"Ok." She said before she used her quirk.
The feeling she felt when her heartbeat entered her throat was something surprising. What she was expecting was pain she instead felt the inside of her voice box vibrating. It was a tingling sensation, the itch you couldn't scratch. She felt the urge to release the feeling in her throat. The only way she could think of to do that was to open her mouth. But would that work? She had to try at least, well either that or enough electricity to put her in a coma. So opening her mouth she was surprised when a stream of soundwaves were emitted from her mouth and slammed straight into were Izuku pointed creating a large hole in the alley wall and continuing to chip at the bricks.
"Stop!" Izuku said loud enough for her to ear over the sound of her quirk.
When she stopped she immediately felt different. When she had her quirk active she felt a rush of adrenaline in her system. She didn't feel pain like she thought she would. Instead to go along with the rush of energy she felt like a different person.
"I must say I'm impressed the insulant compound worked." Izuku admitted to her.
'What is he talking about?' Jiro asked herself internally.
"Well all that matters is that it works." Izuku said closing his book. "Now then a more pressing concern to address." Izuku said facing Jiro.
"What would that be?" Jiro asked nervously.
Izuku just smiled creepily at her question as the cloud overcast made the lighting on his face disappear masking it.
"Whether or not you decide to join me!"
AN-Alright go ahead commence the murdering of my soul for the cliffhanger. Anyway I went ahead and updated the summary to show the pairing. Also I am working on the weaponized Eri Adorableness project. I already have a prototype for x dollars. Anyway enjoy reading. Also I am following a certain UA traitor theory in this.
P.S. I have some special "Quirky" plans for next chapter. Fair warning though it involves blood, more screaming in pain, Science, and maybe some slight flirting between two people.
