Chapter 6: 6
1???'s POV
"One we have company!" I heard Two yells before I crashed from standing on a ladder while trying to change a light bulb in our bedroom and I still needed the light because we didn't exactly have windows here.
"Not that kind of company!" He called out while I was rubbing my bum trying not to make a sound.
"Why do we have company?" I was frantically whispering, staring at the now green haired child as he walked into our room.
"I was running out of time, I was out of options and besides he already had the clearance anyway," he groaned before cursing, under his breath.
"How much have you told him? Who is it?" I was trying to salvage the situation as best as I could. I could still put on a quick deguise if I needed to.
"My name, and my code name. It's the pro hero Eraserhead," There was a long silence before he added, "I'm taking a shower to prove it now. I told him to call me Two until the mission is complete."
I nodded slowly and he walked past me and to the bathroom. I took a few seconds to collect myself and opened the bedroom door just as the shower turned on.
There he stood in the middle of our living room and I coughed a little before smiling at him, "I'm One, I understand we will be working together on this mission?" I was nervous but excited. I have been yearning for the familiar gaze and voices from before the mission. I was not expecting it to be so soon though.
I watched him stare at me and even pinch himself before looking back at me again making sure he was actually seeing me. He opened his mouth as if to say something and I interrupted, "My name is One." He nodded as if understanding what I was saying.
"I am Eraserhead, what do you need me to do?" He looked at me with a look that could scare a kitten. Our plans just got moved up, I think.
"Well we are still on the information gathering stage, you were not supposed to be brought in for at least another month. This changes things. Why was Two so careless?"
"Oi I heard that, One!" I hear him yell from the shower before shaking my head and motioning for Eraserhead to follow me. I took him to the kitchen where I still had my notebooks open and sat down again handing a completed one to him before picking up a pen.
"That doesn't make what I said any less true!" I yelled back. "Start memorising these," I pointed at a small stack of notebooks that I had left on the kitchen counter and returned to working on the books in front of me. It wasn't long before Two came in dressed in a pair of dark jeans and a loose orange hoodie.
I looked up at him glaring and he held up his hands in surrender, "I get it, I fucked up. We can't change anything now," I growled at his words and returned to illustrating the information I had collected.
I could hear him grumbling but continued to ignore him. He started poking at my face but I still wouldn't budge. "Come on One, you know you like having him here."
I lost it, "Do you even hear yourself? What about everything we have gone through in the last several months? The past few years even? Does it somehow mean nothing to you?" I stood up so fast I knocked my chair over in the process. I was near tears but he just doesn't seem to understand just how badly he messed this up.
"What about them? Huh?" I motioned over to Eraserhead who was now watching us carefully, not entirely sure what was going on. "Didn't you even think about how this would affect him or any of the others? They could die because we didn't stick to the plan!" I was practically bawling at this point and Two came over and held me while ignoring my punches and tears.
He just held me while I broke down in his arms. I could barely hear him over the sound of my own sobs but here he was whispering to me about how, "Everything is going to be alright and this was Eraserhead we were talking about here, not All Might."
When my tears finally settled down, I looked up into his beautiful red eyes, "I just miss everyone so much." I snuggled into his chest trying to will away the tears.
"I know baby, I know." He stroked my hair the way I liked it and it's not long before I felt my heartbeat slowing back down and my own breathing was starting to match it.
"Hey that's not fair, you're using your quirk!" I accused him half heartedly only to hear him chuckle in response. I let out another sigh and took a deep breath, taking in his sweet scent, it was intoxicating.
"We better stop there, save that tension for this weekend, hmm?" I flushed red at the thoughts his words brought and lightly smacked his chest.
I took a deep breath and went to the kitchen sink and cleaned off my face before turning around to look at both of the men in the kitchen. One, the confused but maybe relieved Eraserhead and the other, Two grinning like he won some kind of fight.
I take another deep breath and square my shoulders, "This is what we are going to do. Thankfully 'god' and I had a backup in case something like this happened."
"Please don't call him that, just please. It is so going to his head," Two groaned while I just glared at him.
"Like I said 'god' and I had a plan and at the very least thankfully it was Eraserhead and not someone else. He is at least used to undercover work." I stressed the commander's code name watching Two squirm a little before returning to the task at hand.
"Two and I will pose as children in your care. At the very least it will make the drop offs easier of course once 'god' verifies it, and we can make up just about whatever excuse we want for why we are staying with him. Plus real food." I let that thought sink in. We have been living off of vitamins and pancakes since this mission started. I never thought I could just be so done with the sugary treat as I am now.
"Food," We both sighed before shaking the thought from our heads but we failed to beat our stomachs because they chose now to growl.
"When was the last time you two had real food?" Eraserhead narrowed his eyes at us and I told him. He was not happy with my answer.
"We can't really eat at the League headquarters with everyone else because that is when we get the most of our work done. And once we leave we are just more interested in sleep because let's face it, we would be staying up for days working the odd ball shifts that no one else wants but they are the best for gathering information." I tried to tell him but he didn't stop glaring at me.
"Still something besides peanut butter covered pancakes and vitamins," Two sighed out. And I swear I was seeing visions of scrambled eggs covered in a thick creamy cheese with a large pasta salad or even... I shake the thought from my head and hear my stomach growl again.
"We only have a week to get everything ready and that is the very earliest we could move in anyway. So just stop making me hungry. If I so much as smell another pancake I just might throw up from the last time we ate." I groaned.
"Liar, you haven't eaten anything for three days now." Two glared at me. I shrugged ignoring the fact.
"ANYWAY, we would still have to come up with a reason why six very different people came in and out of the house anyway." I glared at him and saw him huff in response.
"Six?" Eraserhead asked, choosing now to jump in.
"Our disguises, we each have 3 but I guess the kids could have been ignored since we tend to finish with them before we come back anyway. It's about the only time we can sneak in some real food. Not a meal but food nonetheless." I answered.
"Well no worries there. You will be eating real food once I get you to my home. But Hiza- Present Mic doesn't however have level 3 security clearance, he has level 5" I nod listening to him ignoring his correction. I already knew Present Mic and Eraserhead were married. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out.
I nod and pull out a blue envelope that was still sealed and I hear Two gulp audibly. "You didn't say..." I glared at him and he stopped talking.
"I wasn't exactly given enough time now was I?" I was staring him down and he just looked like a kicked puppy.
"Excuse us Eraserhead, this is the next set of instructions from 'god'." I looked at the pro hero and he turned back to an open notebook in front of him on the table.
I walk into the living room with Two on my heels and we open the letter;
'1 & 2,
I'm pretty sure by the time you read this Two will have already spilled at least some of the plan to Eraserhead. That's okay I have had to amend some of the plan due to the information you have gathered anyway.
Show him everything, all of our plans just got moved up by much more than a single month. One you know what to do.
~god~
P.S. Don't worry you still have your weekend, the next phase of the plan can't happen until Wednesday at the earliest anyway.'
I gaped at the letter and groaned before walking back into the kitchen and tossing the letter in front of Eraserhead and I turned back to Two.
"We need to use the emergency kits now," I watched as he groaned at my words and I just shooed him out of the kitchen and grabbed a couple backpacks handing them to Eraserhead. "Start packing up all the notebooks, we have to get ready." I turned and left before he could do more than look at me shocked.
