Scrambled Waters

Tsuyu left the room, the corridors are the same old walls as usual, the stone arch windows where she could see the villains training down as she feared approaching them, she tilted her head up looking at the rock ceiling far from her reach

She felt trapped, as if it were an underground castle

Trapped, kero – whispered to herself –

She had no idea why the villains would let her roam freely, or because she was kidnapped, it's been two days since she woke up and only an eight-year-old girl had come to bring her food and clothes, I tried to ask the girl several questions that she only denied with her head and walked away

All she said was, nobody's going to hurt you here because Defier killed anyone who did it, but she wasn't sure about it, I was trying to get down the stairs and open the door on the villains' grounds, but the way they looked at her wasn't at all friendly, let's say it didn't go well.

Tsuyu hugged herself as she focused her eyes on the young villains below, looked like normal children who, with one glance, could deceive any of how innocent they looked, but they had deadly weapons, even weapons that made her swallow nervously, a mistake and she could lose her life

However, she needed to escape

Tsuyu waited for the young woman to come, the door leading to the ladder opened and a little girl came in, wore a black dress with red blood on her, her pale blond hair braided to one side just like hers when she woke up, her eyes had a beautiful amber hue and a smile appeared on her face while holding a tray full of food and drink

Tsuyu chan! "I exclaim she's excited - Izuku san said I can play with you! – the joy that shed in the girl's voice had greatly surprised the teen frog – and I also brought another captive

Tsuyu's mouth was shocked when he saw the person come out the door – Aizawa sensei – exclaimed in surprise and the professional hero's face was full of relief when he saw his student alive and in good condition –

Tsuyu, you're alive," she said, approaching the pain-shaking teenager and tears began to run down her cheek when Aizawa wrapped her in a hug –

The blonde girl who was Eri, I watch the student and the teacher comfort each other and a smile slipped on her face - Aizawa san, let me show you your room YES! – she screams excitedly touching her shoulders –

Both followed her further down the aisles, with the food tray in her hands, stopped in Tsuyu's new room and Eri pointed to a farther door

You will stay there Aizawa san – I explain before handing him a key that the professional only accepts and also took the food tray –

We'll be fine, um.

Eri, " said the girl animatedly –

Eri chan, I'll show you around, kero," Tsuyu said, wiping away the remaining tears and Aizawa nodded agreeing –

Oh, I see... then I'll go, " said the little girl with a sad smile –

Eri felt sad, thought someone would eventually befriend her, but Tsuyu seemed not interested in playing with her, then remembered how the teen frog began to cry as she met her sensei and gave a sigh understanding the maybe why she didn't want to play

I'll try again tomorrow – she said to herself –

The young villains dared not touch her, well she tried to talk to them, but they just ignore her or walk away, Izuku said that they are only afraid of her, but that there is nothing wrong with her, no extravagance, then... how they might be afraid of you

She touched her right front, but there was nothing there, shesmiled, her rare curse will never come back, at least that's what Izuku had told her, her father is not going to torture her or come for her anymore so... she'll live here in peace

Eri saw Riptide at the other end of the training camp sitting at the lower base of the stairs towards Izuku's office, seemed sad and yearning for something, she came up and sat next to him looking him in the face

Riptide didn't seem to notice her, so she touched her arm making him startled by the sudden action that pulled him out of his thoughts

You are well Perseus san – I ask her what Riptide smiled at and put a hand on the girl's head –

I'm fine Eri chan, I'm just a little lurking in my past – he said with a somewhat sad smile and Eri sat next to him –

I hear that Izuku san saved you from your madness... I don't quite understand what she meant by that," she said thoughtfully.

- Riptide took his hand on it and sighed, then I looked at the ceiling as if I imagined the blue sky – Midoriya found me 3 years ago on a beach, it wasn't exactly me that time, he washed my hands with blood using my whim and he prevented me from doing something worse – I explain –

And that's worse – I ask with a curious look –

Suicide , Riptide said heavily and Eri looked at the boy with sorrow, she didn't understand much to say, but she knew he was suffering –

Then you joined us later – I ask her and Riptide shook her head –

Not right away, but when I found out that heroes aren't what I thought they would be, I joined their cause – I explain again –

- the blonde girl was silent, changed her gaze and watched the young villains slowly walk away to their rooms one by one – the world is not fair

You know Eri chan, I used to be a forced hero, one of the most powerful, I have deadly adventures with my friends and no matter how hard it is, I hope to hold on to – I said but stopped – but now that hope is gone, something broke inside me, I found despair... watching the professional heroes, I can say they're rotten inside... It's really unfair – in that the tears sprang from his eyes, but they didn't fall to the ground, but they floated like raindrops – I'm a hero without prize or medals, I'm a hero forced to perform missions that can kill me and my loved ones, I'm a hero mocked by the gods by a single mistake... I am a true hero unlike these rotten heroes – I explain each time with their fury increasing while their peculiarity was activated by controlling all the liquid of the place that was beginning to vibrate, although he left to feel the little hand of the girl on top of hers –

She could not say anything else, for the pain she had felt for Riptide had multiplied by 10
