"Deku." Reille whispered to the injured, tortured prisoner.
"W-What is it?" Deku said. "Has he sent you to torture me this time?"
"What?! No!" Reille said, appalled.
"Then what is it." Deku said, hiding in the darkness. "A lady such as yourself should never see me like this."
Reille unlocked the prison. "I have seen worse. Come with me."
She helped him out, using a spell she had learned to heal him.
"We have to hurry. Run through the castle doors before he finds you!" Reille shouted.
Deku paused before running. "I only wish I could save you too.."
He then ran as fast as he could, only seconds before Bakugo towered over Reille shaking in fury.
"DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE?!"
"H-He's Gone." Reille said with every ounce of her courage "I let him go."
"He was a thief!" Bakugo snarled.
"Which doesn't give you the right to kill him!" Reille shouted back.
"It gives me every right. Oh, let me guess. You think he's a hero? Stealing from a monster for some noble cause? You read too many books! There." He blew up Rielle's book. "Maybe that'll stop filling your head with poisonous thoughts about heroes!"
"I didn't free him because of what I read in my books." Reille insisted. "I saw good in him. That man only wanted to escape with his life."
"Oh, is that what you thought? Our thief escaped with more than his life." Bakugo laughed derisively and pointed out that the wand was gone. "You were tricked, you foolish, gullible girl!"
"There must be an explanation." Reille said firmly. "We don't know why he needed that wand."
"He took the wand because he wanted magic!" Bakugo shot back. "People who steal magic never have good intentions!"
"No! No!" Reille cried. "You can't tell what's in a person's heart until you truly know them."
"Oh, we'll see what's in his heart, all right. When I shoot a bomb straight through it." Bakugo snarled. "Or maybe…I'll shoot him with his own bow. And because this is your fault, you get to come with me and watch, and know, as the blood drips from his carcass, it will be you and your rags to wipe it up."
