27 || Questioning

The two heroes were left alone for a few minutes before the door to the room opened again and Puppet walked back in. This time she was accompanied by Shigaraki and Kurogiri.

She closed the door behind them and leaned against the wall with her arms crossed.

"Hello, heroes," Shigaraki greeted with his gravelly voice.

"We have questions for you," Kurogiri said. "I advise that you cooperate and give us the information we seek."

"Here's how this'll go: I'll ask you questions and you'll answer," Shigaraki explained. "If you don't give me the answers I'm looking for or try to change the subject, something will happen to one of you."

"In other words don't lie or waste our time, for you will meet an untimely demise," the warp villain summarized.

"You foster the brat from the Shie Hassakai. Where do you keep her?" Shigaraki asked, not wanting to waste any of his oh-so-precious time.

"We're not answering that or any of your questions," Eraser Head stated firmly. He gave a forceful tug at one of his wrists, emphasizing his words.

Shigaraki narrowed his eyes at the uncooperative man.

"Answer the question," Puppet demanded, her voice dangerously low.

Both the heroes still stayed silent.

"Fine then." She pushed off the wall and walked behind Eraser Head. She covered his eyes with her hands, blocking his vision.

"All you see if you're blind is black, right?" she asked the erasure hero.

He didn't answer. His heart was beating a bit harder in his chest as he once again was under threat of losing his eyes, and with them, his quirk.

"Right?" she asked again.

"Yes," he finally answered, not wanting to anger the villains in the room further.

Puppet let out a hum of satisfaction at his answer, seeing him begin to bend to her will was satisfying.

She looked at the voice hero. "So how 'bout it, Mic? Are you going to leave him to go blind by my hand?"

When Present Mic hesitated, Puppet spoke again.

"We had a deal, Mic," she reminded lowly. "Don't back out on it now."

"She lives in the teachers dorms," he finally answered. "She's just trying to adjust to a normal life so leave her alone!"

Appeased, Puppet moved her hands away from Eraser Head's eyes and stepped back.

"You won't get to her if you tried; she's protected by the UA faculty," the erasure hero spat at Shigaraki.

"I wouldn't be too sure about that," the villainous leader said back, his tone amused.

Like all the pieces of a puzzle falling perfectly together, it all suddenly clicked for Eraser Head. The question, their blood that they took, the whole reason the League was holding them prisoner... Toga; her quirk, transformation. They were planning to take their place at UA in order to get to Eri.

"I assume you both know what we plan on doing," Kurogiri said.

"Leave her alone," Eraser Head growled.

A smile could be heard in Shigaraki's voice as he said a simple, "No."

The leader turned around, looking briefly at Puppet and Kurogiri. "I'll get the others, you two stay here. I want to show them something." He walked over to the door and opened it, stepping out to go find the other villains in the building.
