Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 Child

Eraserhead moved to the room allocated for Eri and opened it. After finding out the relevant information about Eri and her quirk, it was decided that she should be kept near Eraserhead in case of any mishap. So just like Inazuma, a room was allocated for Eri near the quarters and was made completely kid friendly even though the girl is mostly unresponsive.

 

The psychologists who were consulted in the last few days had recommended care as the best to remedy the situation rather than going to a facility or take drugs which can be ultimately harmful in the long run.

 

Right now, when Aizawa opened the room, he found Eri staring at the wall like always without any response. Normally Aizawa who has seen the dark side of the society is able to handle and control his emotions while seeing tragedies happen to others, but even he was a bit angry when he found out the conditions in which this small child was raised. And that is why he did not condone Inazuma for what he had done though he will never say it out loud.

 

Seeing the door open Eri trembled a bit showing that she still was traumatized but seeing the face of Aizawa, she calmed down a little. Aizawa seeing that went near her and crouched down

 

"The kid who saved you is awake, do you want to meet him?" Aizawa asked gently

 

At that moment Eri's eyes went a bit wide and she nodded her head. This surprised Aizawa because since waking up, this was the most Eri showed that can be considered as a positive expression. After waking up, she had shown an expression of extreme fear until Recovery girl had tried to clam her down and then finding out that Aizawa was able to stop her quirk, she made sure to stay with him whenever she was meeting others.

 

Seeing that Eri agreed, Aizawa gently picked her up and moved to the infirmary. After reaching, he knocked remembering the last scene in the camera before Nezu switched it off. Within seconds, he heard voices telling him to come in.

 

------------------------------

 

When Aizawa brought Eri to the room, Clara made sure to sit in a chair nearby and I sat straight in my bed. As he brought her inside, I was able to look at her properly since at the time I was rescuing her, she was covered in blood.

Instead of the long hair in the manga, she had shorter hair, almost reaching just below her shoulder. Her horn was long indicating the amount of energy she had accumulated. But the biggest thing was her eyes, they looked completely blank. If his guess is right in the original story, after a long time of torture, she had gained back herself and had reached out to Deku but seeing her now, it seems like the tortures she had endured had started recently and being young had affected her psyche more.

 

Inazuma now felt like he should have broken more of the bastards' bones before he had escaped and seeing Clara's expression, he knew that she was thinking something similar.

 

Seeing Eri looking at him, he gestured towards Aizawa to bring her to him. After taking Eri, he put her on his lap and while doing it he was able to feel that Eri was lighter than a kid her age is supposed to be.

 

Looking at the unresponsive Eri, Inazuma felt like he should try to break her out of her shell at least slightly.

 

"Eri, do you remember me"

 

She nodded at the question

 

"are you okay right now"

 

Again, she nodded blankly

 

Inazuma was able to see Aizawa's expression and it seems like he expected something similar like this.

 

"are you afraid of the man who did this to you" the moment I asked the question, I was able to feel Eri shaking a bit and I saw Aizawa preparing to use his quirk, but I signalled him not and he stood down but still looked closely to intervene.

 

"don't worry about it, we will make sure Eri remains safe from him again" Inazuma said trying to calm her down.

 

But suddenly Eri who had remained mute till now spoke up while shaking

"..but..Eri is cursed.. he told me Eri will hurt everyone, that Eri killed her father… if you come near Eri…. Eri might kill you too" Eri cried out and at that moment her horn started shining and her quirk started to activate

 

'damn it she would have broken through now' Eraser thought as he knew whenever he cancelled Eri's quirk, she forgets what happened in the few moments before and faints

 'just when the kid was about to break through to her'

 

And just as Eraser was about to use his quirk

"ERASER STOP"

 

Inazuma suddenly shouted making him stop and what he saw next surprised him deeply

 

As soon as Eri started releasing her quirk, Inazuma felt something deep inside him, he thought Eri's quirk was affecting him, but something told him it was not and then he suddenly shouted at Eraser to stop. He knew it was idiotic, but something told him to use his quirk and he decided to go with his instincts. As he tried to focus his quirk, he found out that green coloured sparks are coming out of him right now.

 

He immediately recognised it; it was still force and he immediately came to a conclusion with his enhanced perception. In the series, before Barry Allen created flashpoint, all the other forces were a part of the speedforce but during the crisis when Barry took Spectre's power, it killed the speedforce and when he brought it back, he gave consciousness to the other forces

 

And now because of being in contact with Eri who had the power reverse which rather than reversing his evolution like her quirk did to her father, it might have directly tried to revert his time thereby activating the stillforce hidden within him which right now is easily stopping her reverse quirk.

 

Eri's eyes widened seeing that nothing was happening. Inazuma then put his hand on her head gently and stroked her trying to calm her down

 

"what ever happens, Eri does not need to worry, because you see I'm strong and if Eri has a curse, I will make sure to make it go away" Inazuma said while smiling at Eri

 

Eri seeing this was able to calm down and by then her horn had become so short that it was non-existent, and she fell asleep on top of Inazuma.

While Clara, Aizawa and the people watching through the camera were wide eyed
