Kira turned from the wall, she couldn't hear Rock Lock behind it. Or Toga. The rock was too thick.
"Nonono!!!" Someone thought. She saw a villain, or who she assumed was a villain crouched on the ground. "My mask!! It was ripped in the fight!- You'll be fine- Owwww- I need to fix it!- Now now now- Ahhh!"
Kira blinked and looked around. They were in a hall. He held his head in his hands. Grunting and crying. One half of a mask that covered his entire head was ripped off. Every part of his body was covered but that one rip.
"IM GOING TO BE RIPPED IN HALF!!" He screamed in his mind.
Kira couldn't remember the last time she'd been so close to someone going through so much seemingly unprompted mental agony. His body was completely fine but he felt like he was being destroyed.
Kira stared at him, holding her own head. She looked down the hall, pointing in the direction Eri probably was. Then she looked down at the whimpering villain in her way. He probably wouldn't even try to stop her. She could walk right past him.
But could she? Could she really?
Kira groaned and walked closer, pulling something from a pocket in her belt. She knelt by the villain. If you could even call him that. He didn't even seem to notice her through his thoughts. No, not just his thoughts. Ten different thoughts. They all rang in his mind, supposedly worse because of his mask.
"Hold on." Kira mumbled. She crouched by him with a frustrated kindness. Like she hated that she wanted to help him.
How could she not When she could see inside his head?
He was harmless, at least he was right now. Kira used a thick bandage wrap she carried in case she needed to dress wounds. She had almost given it to Rock Lock, but then the wall came down.
"No no no my head! My mask!" He yelped, crying and holding her wrists as she leaned forward.
"Shhh, it's okay." Kira whispered. Wrapping it around his head. "See? A-all better."
She hesitated. Waiting for him to snap like a wild dog and attack her. But he didn't.
"I'm gonna kill you." He mumbled. "Marry me please!" He said again in a slightly different voice. Actually pleading with her.
Kira stared at him for a second and held back a laugh. "Okay then." She mumbled.
"I thought all you thugs were scary men." He mumbled, staring at her. His tears practically dried up, but she could feel how intensely grateful he was.
Kira blinked. Thugs? She Wondered, then She realized she still had her mask and goggles on. He thought she was with the Shie Hassaikai. He didn't realize she was on the other team. As long as he believed that he probably wouldn't strike. But if he thought she was a gangster...
That meant he was with the league. With Toga.
"Things aren't always what they seem." Kira mumbled. "Are you okay?" She asked, ready to stand up and leave him.
"She seems so kind... She reminds me of Momma. Her and Toga are the only ones who have been kind to me. Since big sis... Since big sis was killed. Why am I here?!" He thought, blinking as he looked at Kira. "I'm helping the man that killed my friend!"
Kira tried not to vomit after hearing him compare her to Momma. But she knew Momma's game, her manipulations. Of course she faked kindness towards a man as vulnerable as this. He would be easy to manipulate.
"You're... You're bleeding." He stated, suddenly distracted from his own agony. Kira realized the blood from her stab wound had dripped onto the floor underneath them.
"Maybe a little. There's a lot of fighting going on you know?" She said with a cough. She didn't know what he'd do if he found out who she really was- Her scar! On her leg, her arm was propped up on it... What if he saw it? Would he know it was Shigaraki's work? That she was his target?! Would he kill her?
She froze.
"Hey hold on..." He said, standing up.
Kira gulped and prepared to fight. But he just took the remaining medical tape from her and walked around her.
"No it's fine!" She stammered, but before she knew it a villain was giving her first aid.
He unzipped the back of her shirt. Without hesitation. "Hey!" She protested.
"Don't worry! It'll make things worse if your blood sticks your costume to your wound. I don't know what kinda medical staff you gangsters have-." The villain said. "BUT I HOPE IT SUCKS!- Ignore that. We didn't mean it."
"What's your name?" Kira asked him after they were quiet for a few minutes.
"Am I supposed to tell her my actual name? Jin Bubaigawara?- You're not Jin!!- -I'm Jin! You're just a clone!- DON'T TELL HER!!- Twice twice twice...." His thoughts conflicted. Like four people talking at once.
"I'm Twice! A loyal member of the league of villains!"
"Huh, interesting." Kira mumbled. He threaded the wrapping around her back, under her costume and then through her sleeve and back over the fabric on her chest. She controlled her nervous breathing. The man felt like a bomb ready to go off at the slightest touch. One wrong move and Kaboom. He was in a perfect position to kill her while she was vulnerable.
"And you? -not that I actually care- TELL ME YOUR NAME!" Twice was a very complicated individual. From his speech to his thoughts.
But Kira didn't really think he was a villain. Not really, sure a criminal. But how could someone like this be evil? He was just in pain, Kira saw no malice in him at all.
Her name. She couldn't give him her real one, or her hero name. They'd be too obvious.
"Call me um... Koko." Kira said, clearing her throat as he pulled away. A shortened version of her last name, a nickname given to her by denki's little sister. But that seemed like forever ago.
"Well Koko! You're all patched up!" He said, zipping up her suit over the bandages. "Now fuck off!- Will you marry me?"
"I'm Fifteen." Kira stated with a small laugh.
"Who cares you're still mommy- IM NOT THAT TYPE OF BAD GUY!!" He said loudly, covering his head in panic.
"Right. Well I need to head on and go find Aiz- the boss." Kira corrected herself. Yep, her boss. She was a gang member. Not a hero. "You should go find your league friends, I doubt this partnership will last long after this attack. It doesn't look good for the Shie Hassikai." Kira warned.
Why was she warning him? Why did she kinda hope he got away? Prison wasn't a place that would treat a man like Jin well, out of all the villains Kira has met... he was by far her favorite.
Toga on the other hand... Kira would arrest in an instant.
Suddenly twice grabbed her hand. "You should come with us! We're like a family!- RUn away!" The "villain" offered, cupping her hand in his fists. "My last recruitment didn't go so well... but I can trust her! I know it!"
"I... don't think that's a good idea." Kira said nervously, pulling her hand back.
"But the heroes!" He said in worry. "I like her- she can burn in hell.- touch her again, she's warm- shut up!"
"I'll be fine, trust me. "Kira said, smiling through her mask. "You um... you wouldn't happen to know which way overhaul went... would you?"
A/N: twice is probably my favorite villain in mha
