Aizawa's POV
My girls… The class and I watched as they tortured the man for hours none of them willing to speak, none of them complained about what they saw nor heard. We could all see it, the pain in their eyes, at some point it was evident that they could no longer see the man in front of them. They were seeing someone else.
They were recreating an old nightmare, and something tells me that it really wasn't that old. The screams of the man cut right through not only my students but me as well. His screams shattering my ability to think straight as I watched them continue, their faces set their eyes hollow but they didn't stop. Everytime the man passed out someone ran to the kitchen, several someones, while One and Two were cleaning up again. Someone would bring something to drink, anything from water, cocoa or tea. Hell Someone even found a coffee maker and brought me a mug as well. A few of our little team made food and brought them out, snapping One and Two out of whatever hell their minds made up but no one complained about being awake for so long.
It's been three days.
I watched as One and Two continued their torture again and again and everytime the man would get too close to death's door One would use his quirk and heal him, well most of him. I don't think One can regrow body parts let alone organs and to be completely frank this man no longer has a penis, he is also missing a few toes and fingers and what was left did not have nails. Not to mention all the patches that they scalped, no they did not just shave his hair.
What I don't understand is why. Why is this man on what they called the death table? That is what One and Two sent us in the text to gather all of us here.
One: We have one for the death table.
That was it. We all rushed here throwing our disguises on as fast as possible and ran. For the first time in days I heard One growl while the man was still awake and we all watched him take a step away, while Two stepped forward.
"Ready?" His voice croaked from the lack of use but the man on the table nodded anyway, Two hasn't spoken at all since they started. Making all of us wonder what was the point of all of this was? They cleaned everything as if the man had passed out but he just waited, his eyes basically soulless as he waited for the end that was coming to him. They finished quickly, including showering and changing their clothes, before coming back and sitting down.
Once One had the notebook, apparently, caught up he looked up and waited. The man started talking and One wrote everything down, there was only one interruption and it was from Two clarifying something that the villain had said but otherwise the man's voice was the only thing heard for a long time. One let out a sigh and closed the book but he didn't look up.
"Please kill me," the man begged, tears had started to fall again but neither One or Two were looking at him. This man had just given them everything they needed to know on how to find All-For-One and Time Bomb, the details on the different ranks within the League of Villains and… And he told them how he wanted to die. He didn't care what happened to his body afterwards but painless would be prefered. He asked for several options; a bullet to the head, broken neck, bashed in skull, anything at all that was quick.
We all watched as Two let out a sigh and walked back to the table and he put his hand on the man's bare and bloody chest right next to where One's.
"Overdose, it's painless. For most people anyway," Two muttered and the villain nodded and closed his eyes, a smile on his face as one moment he was breathing and the next...
They turned away and left him there, taking another shower before coming back with clean dry clothes.
"Don't move him, we found out the hard way that sometimes they don't stay dead. Come tomorrow his body will be stiff but we will take him somewhere, rip out his heart and cut off his head but for now leave him." Two whispered before One tugged on his hand and they disappeared into the only room with a bed. Not bothering to shut the door as they left.
A long time later Four and Five took a couple bowls of soup and some water down, careful to knock first but there was no reply. I followed them to find One and Two passed out and panting in their sleep as they held reacher other, fully dressed. We could visibly see their quirks feeding into each other as they lay there mattress on the floor, green electricity and even water from the cups we brought with us floated into the air, changing the area. I pulled Four and Five away as the water and green energy sparked and crackled when they met in the air.
"Go get more water, leave the food on the table. They will eat when they are ready," I instructed before adding, "A lot of water." They ran out and it wasn't long before the whole team was working together passing water down the stairs and the empty cups, bowls and whatever else they could find back up again. At this point the water surrounding them was almost like a perfect drop of water, only several times larger. One and Two lay asleep inside of it and they no longer looked like they were in pain.
It looked weird, you could clearly see them breathing and every time they would exhale, air bubbles came out but when they were breathing in it looked like they were just breathing the water in. How is that even possible?
We all found somewhere to lay down and fell asleep. This… They said this was only a small piece of their hell. They literally ripped that man to pieces, forced his wounds closed, only to do it again. I saw them cut into his flesh, exposing his organs to the still conscious man. Removed his eyelids, pulled teeth and surgically removed his appendix as well as a kidney that they then FED to him. They did it all without showing a single emotion, their faces blank until he would pass out again and they were dragged back inside of their own heads again.
Only for one of us to pull them back out again with food or drink, or even both. It was like they weren't even here throughout the whole process until one of us brought them back.
The words Two spoke after they finally let the man die had to however be the most blood curdling thing I think I have ever had to hear.
"At least we didn't have to go as far as Zay."
What happened with Zay? I remember clearly the nightmare that brought that name to their lips last time. The one they never talk about. The one that no matter what else is said or done they will never talk about. At least they didn't go as far as Zay… I just watched them feed this man his own organs, what the hell did they do to Zay? Wait...
Or is it…
What did Zay do to them?
