Say hi!
Blood seeped from Beard, Funny and Dinner’s necks, and from the hole in Blue’s chest, which was quickly staining his name sake scarf. Andrei’s quirk was to produce cell buds that would grow into clones. This meant they had improved cell growth. They had regeneration, although only slightly. Dinner woke up, and felt his neck. He realised he wouldn’t be talking for a while. The others weren’t so lucky. Beard and Funny’s necks were too roughly cut, and Blue simply had too much to heal.
Beard gurgled blood and saw his life flash before his eyes. It all started when Andrei was six. His parents often had to leave him alone for long periods of time. Once when they were gone for a very long time, they came home to find their lonely child had become children. Neither were sure which was the original. His parents, not being able to cope with another mouth to feed put one up for adoption. Andrei had always wondered which was the original, and what happened to the one left behind.
More recent memories flushed his mind, and he remembered something he had forgotten and suppressed. ‘Ah… I forgot… They were my progenitor’s wife and child...’
Wally reached out for the candy dispenser. It had fallen out of his pocket when he fell. If this wasn’t an emergency, he didn’t know what was. He held it above his mouth and dispensed a pill of Red Sugar. His mouth filled with overwhelming sweetness, then everything went… Soft. Simple. Uncomplicated. He stood up, and rushed over to Beard’s corpse. He felt fast. Really fast. He picked up the knife Kyta had dropped, before picking up Blue’s red scarf, and wrapping it around his face. “Once you take a life you forfeit your own was it?” He thought back to the collection of hero figures he used to have. There was definitely one of Primer. “I can’t believe I ever looked up to you.” He said looking down at Kyta’s limp form.
“STOP IT!” Someone yelled from further down the corridor.
Wally looked up at the shouter, and for the first time in a long while saw Aaron.
