Chapter 13 - Stockholm Syndrome
Annoyed, frustrated and typically wanted to kill someone, Nekta decided to go back to the villains' lair after finding out that Midoriya, Todoroki and Bakugo followed her to the mall. However, Toga ran off with Midoriya and Todoroki, still in their disguises, leaving her and Bakugo in dust.
"Goddamn it, Himiko," she snarled and felt Bakugo walking away. For all she knows, he might be running away this time. But then again, he won't leave without a fight.
"Now where are you going?" She snarled at Bakugo who clicked his tongue and turn ed to her with a glare.
"I'm f*cking outta here!" He felt a jerk and he knew that Nekta jerked her hand again which also pulled the invisible leash around his neck.
"I'm keeping an eye in you, in case you try to leave while we search for those other troublemakers," she said and Bakugo snarled and made small explosion with his hands, "Let's go."
"Don't tell me what to do, b*tch!" Nekta jerked her hand again and Bakugo had no choice but to follow her like a dog on a leash. Well, that is quite the situation here.
The search was awkwardly silent, hiding their faces from the crowd in case someone recognizes them. Nekta actually doesn't mind large crowds. Well that was when she was still a masked villain. Now that her face is now revealed to the public, going out is really tricky now.
Now that's not really the major problem right now. It's Bakugo who doesn't have any disguises that changes his look much. She should make sure his hood wouldn't fall off.
Sighing she stopped walking and turned to Bakugo, "Hold on a second, Katsuki."
"Tch, stop calling me with my first name!" He snarled and Nekta suddenly had the urge to tease him a bit.
"Okay, Kacchan," she teased and it only annoyed Bakugo even more.
"What did you called me?!" He took a step back and Nekta glared.
"Just stay still, you f*ck!" She yelled back, failing to contain her annoyance. She reached out to the string of his hood and pulled it tight, compressing the hood a little and tying it.
"There. That way, no one can easily recognize you," she said and turned around. Bakugo clicked his tongue again followed Nekta again.
'What the f*ck is wrong with this girl?' He thought and looked around. If only she can fight back at Nekta, he could've done it the first time he stepped out of that freezer.
However, something is terribly wrong about him. He just can't get himself lay a finger on Nekta like he doesn't want to blow and explosion at her. More like how Todoroki and Midoriya stayed loyal to her.

Meanwhile, Toga has been jumping from store to store with Todoroki and Midoriya. they didn't even remembered leaving Nekta and Bakugo. They just remembered when Midoriya tried talking to Bakugo about a AllMight action figure that he thought of looked funny.
"Waaaaah! We left senpai and Kacchan!" Midoriya exclaimed, almost dropping the knives that is stashed in his jacket. Todoroki made a face and Toga smiled creepily.
"Ooh! Where could they be?" She asked and put her hand on her chin.
"Senpai might be mad right now! Hahaha!" Todoroki said and laughed.
Midoriya's mood shifted to a serious one when a certain figure caught his eyes. A blue haired megane with a brown haired girl came into view so he dragged Todoroki with him.
"We have to leave," he said but deep inside, something is telling him to dash right to the people he saw and stab his precious knives into their body.
"Huh?"
"Uraraka and Iida are here. As much as I want to confront them we have to go," he smirked making his mood shift again ad turned to Todoroki, his green eyes showing a murderous glint behind his shades, "Something's telling me to kill but it's not Nekta-senpai. So maybe something might happened?"
He said that like a pleading child. Like he wanted to do something really bad but he doesn't know if Nekta approved of it.
Todoroki looked around to find the said former-classmates and saw them. The same murderous intent came to him and being ADHD, his attention changed to the two and his bloodlust.
"Midoriya! Midoriya! Can we?" He jerked his hand away Midoriya's grasp but Midoriya bit his lower lip.
"I want to! I want to! I want to!" Toga found them and all three of them are trying to hold their bloodlust, not knowing what Nekta would say.

"Where in this hellhole are those three?" Nekta growled, looking around the second floor of the mall. They're surveyed the while first floor for a freaking one hour and so far no luck, "f*ck this."
She sighed in frustration and turned her head from left to right and his hood accidentally fell off her head, but Bakugo pulled it back.
"You idiot. If you can keep my hood up, keep your hood up too," he said and Nekta gave him a weirded out look. She pulled her own hood up and slapped Bakugo's hand away.
"Tch, shut up," she snarled and she remembered that he came to talk earlier which she ignored. After drowning in the awkwardness for an hour and a half, she decided to turned to him.
"Anyway, you have something to say to me, right?"
"Oh so now, you want to talk?" Bakugo sassed and a tick mark appeared on her head.
"Sh*t, Katsuki. Just tell me before I change my mind," she growled and Bakugo suddenly grabbed the back of her hoodie and dragged her to the side where a restaurant stood. Not much people are there.
"So tell me. What is the effect of those sh*tty parasites?" He asked, sucking his hand into his pocket. Nekta gave him a blank look and put her hands into her hoodie's pocket.
"It breaks the host's sanity and depending on its host's mentality, the host acquired a mental disorder. Like how Deku have impaired emotional control and Shoto having ADHD. But sometimes, it doesn't work like what happened to you," she said and Bakugo snarled.
"It didn't affect my sanity but it surely had an effect on me," he said and Nekta turned to him. He looked at her with a slightly soft glare and she clenched the inside of her hoodie.
"And what is that, may I ask?" She asked but Bakugo looked away and walk away, "What the f*ck!"
"That's all I wanted to hear, idiot. I'm going home before this ever get worst," Bakugo said, trying to walk away but Nekta grabbed his wrist making him stop.
"Tell me. What do you mean?" She demanded but Bakugo just hlared. They stayed like for a while before they heard a commotion in the other end of the second floor.
Large ice appeared out if nowhere and screams can be heard together with maniacal laughing.
"Guess what? We found those sh*ts," Nekta said and ran to the direction if the commotion. With Nekta tugging the invisible leash, Bakugo had no other choice but run after her as the crowd run the other direction.
After a while, they saw Todoroki and Midoriya fighting with their former classmates, Uraraka and Iida. They jumped down to the first floor so Nekta have to go to the railing.
"Deku! Snap out of it! We're your friends!" Uraraka tried persuading Midoriya to stop in trying to kill her, but he didn't responded and just laughed as if he is enjoying it.
"Todoroki-kun! You should calm yourself! This is not you!" Iida said, dodgung every attack Todoroki throws at him.
"Eh? So what am I? Oh don't tell me you're gonna say I'm a hero blah blah blah!" Todoroki said and freeze the floor and Iida slipped, "yeah right! It's way more fun being a villain, Iida! You should try it sometime."
"What the heck are they dong?" Nekta glared and suddenly Toga joined in, jumping into Midoriya and Uraraka's fight.
"Can I slip in?"
"What the---" Nekta can't take it anymore and decided to stop this idiocy until someone else jumped in and create a large explosion inbetween the five of them.
They were as bewildered as Nekta is, watching Bakugo tore the fighting apart and his hood falling off his head.
"Bakugo-kun!" Iida and Uraraka exclaimed with smiles. But they're not sure if he's still sane unlike their other two abducted classmates.
"Oh f*ck off now, will ya'!?" Bakugo screamed and Nekta unfreeze, jumping next to Bakugo.
"Deku! Shoto! Himiko!" Nekta glared and Uraraka widened her eyes seeing her again.
"S-Syren!" She exclaimed and the said three run to her like dogs that's been called.
"Bakugo-kun, what are you doing?" Iida said and Bakugo glared at him.
"Shut up, idiot!" He snarled and made an explosion towards Uraraka and Iida surprised both parties. Midoriya was expecting him to go with them, but then again, he can't because of his pride and Nekta's restraint.
"Don't you f*cking follow us!" Now that really made both parties dumbfounded. Grabbing Nekta's wrist, he ran away and the three followed, leaving the two in bewilderment.

When they finally arrived in the lair, Midoriya and Todoroki got punishment from Nekta by beating them up. Being a masochist, Midoriya just laughed it off as Todoroki whined.
"You sh*theads are bunch of troublesome! If there are heroes that saw you, you are in big trouble. You don't stand a chance in beating them," she said and kicked Midoriya in the abdomen. He gave a weak smile as Todoroki lay on his back beside him.
"What made you think to do that?" She yelled at them. Twice, Dabi, Toga and Kurogiri just watch in the back. Everyone except Kurogiri haven't seen Nekta this angry before and she really is scary.
"Something... was telling us... to kill them," Todoroki said and Nekta narrowed her eyes.
"What?"
"We were told to kill them and we wanted to. Their blood in our hands."
"Their screams all over our ears!"
"Nekta-senpai! We want to kill too!" They said in unison and Nekta turned to Kurogiri who returned the gaze.
"You can't," she said and they were about to rebut until she continued, "you still need to train harder. And you work under Shigaraki-onii so you can't kill anyone you want."
She said and left, leaving them there. She walked towards the large freezer where Bakugo sits against a wall. This time he have no restraints.
"Tell me, when you said the emphatic parasite affected you, you meant you have Stockholm Syndrome?"
