Insomnia [Shota Aizawa x Reader] (Old Version)

Chapter 20

When I stepped into the portal, my head was sticking up, out the other side. I noticed the portal was on the ground, so I had to climb out, as if from a pit. It was disorienting, to say the least.

I looked around, seeing if there were any clues as to where I was. I was oddly familiar, and I realized it was a place where a tornado had come through a year ago. Thirteen and some other heroes had came here to help with rescue.

I walked towards the nearest standing building and heard crying. [Y/N]!

I ran in, forgetting to go back to tell Tomura and Kurogiri where the portal led to.

Inside, a figure was huddled in a corner, chains surrounding her.

I immediately ran to her. "[Y/N]!"

She looked up at me, and that's when I felt that something was wrong. I saw her hand go behind her back and grab a knife, then attempted to stab me.

I grabbed her wrist and twisted it, making her drop the knife. I kicked it away and grabbed both her wrists, keeping her from trying anything else. I noticed that the chains weren't actually attached to her, but the way they were placed made it seem like it from further away.

"[Y/N], what's wrong with you?" I asked, then activated my quirk on her, my hair floating up.

[Y/N] had a creepy grin on her face is she slowly turned to a weird, slimy goop and into... another girl?

She had blonde hair with bangs and messy buns on the sides. Her eyes were yellow and had dark bags under them. She smiled, showing sharp teeth.

"Aw, someone misses [Y/N]~" she said creepily. She was blushing, but not out of embarrassment.

"Where is she?" I demanded. "What did you do to her?"

"Oh, me? I didn't do anything but take a bit of lovely blood from her." She glanced behind me. "But him, he probably knows where she is and probably has done worse."

I turn to see who she was mentioning, and a punch came right at me. I blocked it with my arms and saw that it was a man with a long black jacket and jeans. He had sleek black hair and dark eyes. He took out a knife and passed it to the girl on the ground. She got up, giggling crazily.

I used my scarf to attack the girl, since she seemed like she would distract me from the man. However, the man pushed away the girl and my scarf wrapped around him. Why would he help her? Catching me off guard, he pulled back at the scarf. It was like a game of tug-of-wars.

The girl ran towards me, knife in hand ready to stab. I dodged, but then a punch was delivered straight into my face out of nowhere and I fell down. Before I could see who had hit me, I felt a sharp pinch on my neck and fell unconscious.

---\/---/\---\/---

I woke up, my body stiff. I was tied to a chair and I was blindfolded. I felt my scarf and goggles were gone.

"Shota?" I heard a voice call. "Shota!"

It was [Y/N]. "What embarrassing thing did you do when you were sleeping at my place?" I asked.

"What?"

"Just say it!"

"...I was hugging you. In my sleep."

"Alright. Good. I was making sure you weren't a clone or something."

"Then why did they blindfolded you? They didn't want you using your quirk, but I'm real. So what do they plan on doing that involves using quirks?"

I shrugged, worried.

I heard the sound of chains moving around. "Why did you come? They were using me as bait for you!"

"How could I have known? I'm a hero..." I hesitated. "I'm supposed to help. Plus, they framed me as a traitor and managed to get basically the whole school against me somehow."

I heard a sigh from [Y/N].

"Well, all we can do-"

I heard the sound of a door opening then closing, then footsteps as someone came in.

"Katsumi," I heard [Y/N] say. "What do you want?"

A chuckle was heard and I felt the blindfold taken off me. I was in a pretty dark room with the only light source coming from a lamp on a table. My goggles and scarf was at a corner.

[Y/N] was in front of me, chained to the wall. There was a bit of blood dripping from her arm.

Someone, I assumed Katsumi, was behind me, away from my view. He suddenly stuck a needle in my arm.

Katsumi then stood in front of me, smirking. He was the same man from before. I tried to activate my quirk on him, seeing if he was hiding anything, but it didn't work. He had disabled it, probably with whatever was in that syringe. But his quirk was cloning... why didn't he want me using my quirk?

"Let's see, Eraserhead. I thought you were going to be harder to capture. Turns out your weakness...." He pointed to [Y/N]. "Is her."

My face flushed with anger. "What do you want with her? I thought you were only targeting All Might!"

"Oh, I do want to kill you. I want to kill all heroes. But the other three members of this group is only targeting him, All Might. He is our target. You're our key to killing him. But to do so, you'll have to tell me something."

"Hell if you think I'm going to tell you anything!" I glared at him. "Shigaraki said your group didn't have a name. I suppose I'll give you one. How about... the DDD: Dumb Double Duo? For how dumb the four of you are."

I heard [Y/N] laugh behind Katsumi. Katsumi's face was red with anger, and punched me square in the face.

"Oh, I'll get something out of you." He took out a syringe filled with a pinkish liquid. I swear, if another needle is going through me....

He turned to [Y/N]. "You know what this is?" He asked me, looking over his shoulder. "It's a drug that will make her sleep. And you know what happens when she falls asleep."

I saw [Y/N]'s eyes widen, filled with fear and panic. "Don't...."

Before I could say anything, he stuck the needle in her arm. "No!" I yelled, struggling against my bindings.

In a few moments, [Y/N] slumped onto the floor, unconscious.

"It'll take a while before she starts to scream. Oh, and it lasts about 2 hours, maybe longer." Katsumi turned to me. "Shorter if I can get you to admit something now. How about a deep, dark secret?"

"Wake her."

"It's a shame, my quirk. It has so many conditions. Controlling takes so much energy, and I can't even clone more than one living thing at a time."

"Wake her," I demanded again.

"Plus, the quirk requires a secret to work. A small one to copy the person, and a big one to copy that person's quirk. What even determines a big secret and a small secret?"

I glared at him. He was ignoring everything I said. He gave me a wicked grin and he paced around me.

"I know a few things for sure. I need to physically hear the target say the secret to make the clone. And a big secret from you could be that...." He leaned down and whispered something in my ear before the door slammed open.
