Code: Execute

Code: Three Way Conflict

He paused to collect his words before he continued, "You have a strong grasp on your ability now, so much that I've heard you used one of your forbidden codes just yesterday.  You have become quite a capable young woman.  I am very proud of you."

(Y/n) was shocked into silence.  She had no words to say at his small episode other than, "Now I understand why Ranpo loves your praise...  that was wonderful, please do it again sometime."

The older man chuckled softly as he said, "You and Dazai are very similar, that is exactly what he said last night when I thanked him."

(Y/n) smirked to the man before she shot back, "Well, what can I say?  Great minds do think alike, and we've got the sharpest minds here.  Now that you know how capable we are, if for whatever reason something happens between the Agency, the Mafia, and the Guild, we are all more than capable of handling ourselves, okay?  So, stop worrying, call Haruno in, have her make some tea, and just relax for once.  Should anything happen, you have a highly capable team ready to fix everything."

(Y/n) left shortly after and sat at her desk where she received a ping that her bug had picked up a trigger word. 

Turns out, Kyoka had been denied access to a judge who she was tasked with delivering case files to.  This caused a chain of events and ended with her acting on her trained instincts.   She accidentally tazed the poor man...

(Y/n) walked into Yukichi's office and told him about what she had just found out, and he immediately called the judge to apologize and also get the teens off the chopping block.

Then, only a mere half-hour after that, another ping on her database interrupted her work.  Someone had tried to call Kyoka's phone, and just after that both Atsushi and Kyoka's bugs picked up a keyword... kill.

Kenji and Kunikida mobilized as soon as she exclaimed that in the office.  She tapped herself into Kunikida's phone as she lead them to the pair's location.  Dazai stood over her shoulder watching and advising behind her.  Yukichi also stood behind them as he listened in while holding his breath.  Yosano was waiting for the command to head out as well in case anything happened to any of the agents.  Haruno and Naomi were waiting off to the side with worried looks on their faces as they watched (Y/n) and Dazai stared at her laptop with such serious emotions etched on their faces.  They were like an entire control center team guiding the operations but they were only two people, and they were doing a damn good job too.

"Kunikida, just one more block and you'll be at the park entrance, from what I can see on the security cameras, the Port Mafia has the entrance to the park blocked so that they can't escape, and Atsushi is injured."

"All right, Kenji!"  She heard the distant voice of Kunikida yelling to the younger boy over the line,  "Find the nearest empty car and throw it towards that park over there!"

"You got it, Boss!"

A sharp pain could now be felt behind (Y/n)'s eyes as she felt her ability begin to strain her body a bit.  She didn't have too many programs running at once on database to cause her harm, but her head injury seemed to be more of a handicap now that she was using it so much.

Dazai leaned in over her shoulder before he said, "(Y/n), are you feeling alright?  I believe you're already going back on your promise to the president to care of yourself and not push yourself today, am I wrong?"

(Y/n) grumble out, "I am fine...  I feel like I'm the queen of the world."

"More like you're the Queen of this operation, let me take over for here, alright?"

He snatched the phone away from hands and set a hand on her shoulder before he said, "Kunikida, I'll be taking over for (Y/n) for now."

(Y/n) instantly felt her headache stop growing as soon as Dazai set his hand on her shoulder.  The comfort wasn't from his gentle touch, but because he was using his ability to forcibly stop her own from draining her energy.

The office had grown quiet and Dazai was now just listening to the phone as everyone watched in silence.  It felt like an eternity had passed since they last heard Dazai speak. 

Was everything alright? 

Is anyone other than Atsushi injured?

How was Kyoka and why did this woman come after her?

Suddenly, Dazai's eyes widened as he turned to (Y/n) to ask, "What was your worst-case scenario again?  The Port Mafia shows up to take the teenagers, and the Guild shows up to kill everyone?"

(Y/n)'s eyes widened as she said, "Don't tell me..."

Dazai nodded with a grim frown on his face as he said, "Yosano, you can drive right?  We're going to need a car to bring them all back, and you need to get to them as soon as possible."

(Y/n) and the President shared a glance at each other before she said, "I— I'm coming with-"

Dazai held a hand up to her to silence her before he said, "You and I both know you're going to pass out in about thirty minutes.  You are going to stay here, where you are safe, and you are going to sleep on our favorite couch until we decide to wake you up.  It's not that you are not needed, but you're in no state to fight—"

"Then stab me, Yosano!  Bring me close to death so I can go and help!"

The doctor was still walking towards the door as she yelled back, "I love your resolve, but there is no time.  I'm needed elsewhere and this could take too long."

"IT TAKES TWO  SECONDS TO STAB SOMEONE, SO CUT ME!"

This time the President spoke up and set a hand on her shoulder.  She felt his hand gently yet firmly press into her shoulder and parts of her lower neck.  He made her face him, his face was grim and a scowl was etched onto it as he said, "Go to sleep."

It wasn't until he said those words and until the room began to grow darker that she realized what was going on.

"Oh, I'm gonna be so pissed when I— when I wake up... you p-promised to n-never use the s-sleeper hand on me —e-ever a-again, B—bitch."

All she could hear as the darkness surrounded her was, "That is fine by me, but you're being reckless again and we will not risk another Agent today."
