Hallen and May

Twelfth Name: Shadow Markets

'Ouch! What the-'

She checked her surroundings right away.

"Where am I?"
Tsuyu then heard from tapping on the hard floor.

"Ah! You're awake huh?"

She tried to move but she was chained down on a chair.

'How did I end up like this again?'

A few moments ago...

'At least it's not Eri but I'm still 16 years old? They look like they're in their 30's!'

Tsuyu then tried to make a run for it, but tripped over a metal pole.

'Why does this happen now?'

"OI! WHo's there!"

They then saw Tsuyu getting up.

"Oh! It's her! Get her!"

'Oh no!'

She rushed to get back out and darted across the area trying to lose sight of them.

'What should I do??? Should I scream? Or turn on my camouflage? Or-'

And before she knew it-

*BANG!*

She smashed herself into a metal pole and slumped to the ground.

"Let's grab her!"

Tsuyu opened her mouth in shock.

'So that's what happened huh...'

She grinded her teeth.

'Why am I so stupid?'

Just then, the person in front of her approached her slowly.

"So you finally realized."

"Why am I here?"

"Why are you here?"

The person snickered.

"To take revenge of course."

'Revenge?'

The person sniffed as if they were putting on an act.

"I was willing to call the police instead but I decided to take you hostage myself."

'Call the police? That reminds me of the airport incident.'

She recalled the incident in her head.

"On Earth? Why is she here?"

"Honestly Shameful, Just Shameful."

"Should we just call the police? Or ever a Pro Hero?"

"No we can't, she might find out----"

'I wonder if it's related...'

Tsuyu then felt a brush on her head. She looked up and saw the person scrunched up her hair.

"Can you stop doing that?"

It felt really uncomfortable for her at the very moment.

"Why can't I?"

"I don't like it."

"Is that so..."

The person kept scrunching up her hair. Tsuyu then thought of something in her mind.

'Revenge? I don't think I did anything wrong? Even in America?'

She looked from side to side to see her surroundings.

'I seems like I'm underground.'

The person then stopped scratching her hair and then randomly walked away.

'What the...'

"I wouldn't do anything fishy if I were you."

The person then left the area through the stairs. Tsuyu sighed.

'Fishy huh?'

She thought of the fish in the lake.

'Why did I think of that?'

Luckily, Tsuyu had an escape plan in mind.

'Thank goodness we were taught escape issues with Fay-e-san. I can't even say her name without honorifics properly.

2 days ago...

"Escape techniques?"

"But why?"

Faye tugged on a rope with her two hands.

"One of you is bound to get kidnapped in this world. Maybe some of my training will do you good!"

They both nodded as they sat in separate chairs. Faye binded them both up with rope first.

"So what do you do in a situation like this?"

Tsuyu looked to the side and down. Bakugo started to emit an explosion but it bounced back at him, with the ropes still intact.

"THE HELL? WHAT KIND OF ROPES ARE THESE???"

Faye smiled.

"This starts off the first rule. Don't make a sound. Hallen, you're the number one culprit at this."

Faye looked at Tsuyu.

"What would you do?"

Since Tsuyu's mouth wasn't covered, she slipped her tongue under the ropes to make it a bit slimy. And then she started to undo the knot created with her tongue without making any noise whatsoever. In a matter of seconds, Tsuyu was out of the bind.

"May!!!! You did it so well!!!!!"

'Everything so slimy though...'

"Next is Hallen~!"

'So that's what I did huh.'

Tsuyu did the exact same thing and she got out in a matter of seconds.

'Maybe Faye's enthusiasm got to me.'

She looked at the pile of rope she got out of.

'It's slimy,'

Fortunately when she was looking around, she found a pile of rags in the corner. She picked up the rags she found and started cleaning off the saliva on the ropes. She then threw the rags in a disposal and took the ropes with her.

'This may be useful...'

Tsuyu trotted off to the stairs and found herself in a weird looking market outside.

"Where am I?"

She wrapped the rope around her shoulders and started walking along the suspicious market.

'This looks like.... A blackmarket.'

Many suspicious people were eyeing Tsuyu as they walked past her. But they didn't look like they were disgusted by her, it looked like they were pleased by her.

'I feel so uncomfortable.'

Just then, Tsuyu smelled something cooking beside her. As she looked at the sign and the material, she was interested by what it read.

'Magic/Enchanted Fish for Sale! Dead or Alive!'

'Magic/Enchanted Fish...?'
