Sister Mine (Dabi X OC)

It's All Fake, It Has To Be..

 Hearing his own steps echo through the hospital, Shadow pushed open the doors to the room in front of him before throwing up a fake commission issued smile towards the man in the hospital bed.

"Mr. Matsu is it? I was wondering if I could have a few words...?"

Through the sound of his own oxygen mask, the man turned his head in question before the black haired commision man bowed back. "Can you tell me who did this to you?"

Almost immediately, the boy shook his head, focusing his eyes back towards the ceiling as Shadow's smile dropped. His expression clearly showed fear, how interesting.

"It's alright. You can tell me. I understand you're scared but if we knew their name then we could.."

Although Matsu widened his eyes at that, ripping his oxygen mask off before pushing his body forward in unsaid panic. "N-No, no no. I can't. they'll know, they'll find me if I tell..."

Narrowing his eyes, Shadow couldn't help but hum at that, his eyes fixated on the man before him. "Is that what they told you?"

Matsu gulped before shakily nodding his head before the commission agent decided that there was enough playing around. He needed to get information, and fast.

"The person that did this to you, was it Valkyrie?"

At their name, Matsui felt his breathing completely stop before squeezing his eyes tight and moving his hands into a fist. It was obvious to tell that just the mere mention of the villain caused him to become distraught.

That was enough confirmation for the man. "It was, wasn't it? Please, tell me what they looked like, where can I find them. If you do that then I can make sure they can't get to you..."

Yet he didn't get to finish before Matsu gasped out in utter horror. "N-No, you don't understand! They have eyes everywhere. I can't....I can't....the red....all of the red...I can't get it away...it's always there..."

His ramblings became far more apparent at that, Shadow watching carefully and uninteresting as the poor boy worked his way into a panic attack.

He must have meant blood when he said that thing about the color red. Well, that told him nothing...

A moment later a bunch of nurses appeared before pushing the commission member out of the room, a fixed frown on their faces. "I'm sorry, you have to leave..."

And just like that, Shadow was sitting outside of the waiting room, with just as much information as he had before. He hoped that this boy was going to be the breaking point in the case but it seemed like he was like all the others.

No matter who he approached it seemed like every victim of the villain was almost scared to say their name, to reveal their identity. What was he supposed to do if no one wanted to speak to him?

Sighing to himself, Shadow then took out a cigarette from his pocket as he exited the hospital, taking a drag before blowing the smoke into the sky. "Valkyrie, who are you?"

Although that was when a voice next to him spoke through the darkness. "You want to know about Valkyrie?"

Not expecting an answer, Shadow turned around only to find a man leaning against the walk next to him, his eyes fixated on the man. "Possibly. Who are you?"

Pushing himself off the wall, the strange man replied. "An interested party. Used to run in their circle but things change.."

Shadow couldn't help but be interested in this, putting out his cigarette a moment later. "And why is that?"
