Chapter 10

(This chapter is shorter than most of the other chapters in this book, I'm sorry about that! Next chapter and the next few chapters of this book are going to be longer. Don't worry!

Play the song at the "*'" point for the best experience; it's recommended but optional as always.

We'll get some Dabi time in the next few chapters, okay? Just bear with me here, the plot is getting juicier now. ;3

TW: Implied sexual themes, profanity [the usual lol], subtle traumatic flashbacks

If the trigger warnings don't bother you, then read ahead! I hope you enjoy this chapter! We have some possessive Overhaul too, let's see how that goes.)

Chapter 10

Tired of the Routine

Katsuki Bakugou was getting impatient. He felt like he spent his entire life in that bathroom, especially when he should have been investigating the yakuza base. Where the hell is that Diamond? She should have been here by now! Katsuki thought irritably to himself as he pulled out his phone and started playing one of the games he had on it. "I should be out there...not trapped here. Not again..." Bakugou grunted. Flashbacks of his experience of being a hostage of the League of Villains made the hero-in-training slightly grit his teeth.

The level he was playing was getting on his nerves too; it didn't make him feel any less frustrated with the situation.

His ears picked up on the bathroom door creaking open and his mind refocused on reality. Bakugou almost automatically curled up into a ball, hiding himself as much as possible in the lavish tub. He couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, even if he was hidden by the curtain covering the tub. "It's me.." Jaclyn answered soothingly. Immediately he popped up from his spot, pushing aside the curtain. "What the-" The teenager almost yelled from frustration. "Shhh...the walls aren't as soundproof as I thought they were." She interrupted him cautiously, "I'm sorry it took me so long to get back. I was brought back to Overhaul and I had a weird interrogation to attend to."

Katsuki grimaced at how it could have gone. *' "You sold us out, didn't you then? To save your ass from getting killed?" His eyebrows furrowed as his accusation came out. "No; I snitched myself out. I genuinely don't remember everything that happened, but he didn't believe me so I had to get more personal than I would have liked." Jaclyn answered. "I don't believe you." Bakugou disagreed and winced at her tight hug. "I was so worried about you; I'm glad you're okay." She confessed, breaking up the hug. "The public doesn't kid around; you're sappy as fuck." He muttered.

A soft giggle escaped her lips as she sat next to him. "I have to fill you in on everything I know now. They want me to be a spy to make sure no one he isn't working with attends the auction gala. I'll have to be by Chronostasis the whole time, unless I need to go to the bathroom. I don't know if anyone we're working with is going to be there. If they are, they'll have to stay away from me." Jaclyn answered. "Wait, is that Chronostasis guy the one you were hooking up with last night?" Bakugou asked, partially not even wanting to know. Her cheeks flushed a dark red. "While I was hiding in the bathroom?" She hesitantly nodded. "Gross..." The teenager scrunched his face up in disgust, "Wait, aren't you and Dabi a thing? Isn't he gonna kill you for that?"

"I feel really bad saying this, but one of the few things that I remember was telling Dabi that I was using him for information and he didn't mind. But he doesn't know that I had sex with Chrono..." She mumbled, feeling guilty. "You're dead now or..." Bakugou trailed off. "No, I don't think so. We've both learned a lot from each other since we met, so I think-I hope Dabi will understand why I did what I did." Jaclyn answered him. "So you're gonna be by him the whole time then? Your yakuza fuckbuddy or whatever?" Katsuki reviewed her intel. "Please don't call him that.." She requested shyly, burying her face in her hands.

"Fine, fine. I won't. But if you're supposed to be with him and their spy, you can't see Akemi and Deku then. They'll have to find a way to avoid you the whole time...If there aren't a lot of people there, that's gonna be difficult." He thought aloud. "Who's Akemi? They sound pretty; Akemi is a pretty name." The former hero murmured. "One of Dabi's friends. You should go back out there soon; keep them from getting too suspicious." Bakugou answered simply, "I'll keep myself busy with Tik Toks or whatever shit I can until the auction thing. You go act like everything is fine. You can do that, right?"

Jaclyn giggled. "I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be taking orders from a teenage boy. I can do that. We're going to take Overhaul down once and for all." She softened her voice, smiling brightly. "We better." He chuckled as the vigilante stepped out of the bathtub and headed back into her room.

Thinking of Overhaul naturally made Bakugou associate him with Eri in his head. The little girl who didn't deserve everything the fucker did to her.

We better take his ass down. The blonde teenager thought passionately.

Hours before Gala Day...

"You've been taking a liking to the hostage." Kai Chisaki mused once his right hand man sat down in the leather chair in front of his boss's desk. "Which one?" Hari Kurono asked, trying to veer his superior away from his potential accusation. "Diamond." Kai answered simply. "How did you-" Hari raised a brow. "Oh, I pay attention to social cues and gossip among my inferiors. Rappa and Nemoto's teasing about how you were, quote-on-quote, keeping them up all night." He replied indifferently. "Your sex life isn't any of my business, but it is my business if she tells you anything about the enemy."

"You aren't replacing me?" Chronostasis guessed, still a little baffled by where their conversation was going. "You're my right hand, Hari. I wouldn't replace you with anyone. This little escapade you have going could be useful to the yakuza, so I'm going to let it continue." Overhaul told him. "There's a but, isn't there?" The silver haired male added on. "Don't get too attached to her. Tell me everything she tells you, unless it's irrelevant to anything that could threaten the auction and our operations. By everything, I mean everything." Kai demanded.

Hari nodded at his boss's demands, suspecting there was more he wanted from him. "With all due respect, is there anything else you want from me?" He broke the temporary silence. "Yes. Your loyalty lies with the yakuza, with me. The potentially next Symbol of Peace is not getting in between that. Am I understood?" Kai ordered.

"Yes, boss." Chronostasis replied. "Good. Don't forget who you belong to." Overhaul requested sternly as his closest confidant left his office for the night.

This man is going to be the death of me... The leader of the Shie Hassakai thought to himself possessively.
