Bright as a Diamond. Shinso Hitoshi x Fem Reader: Chapter Nine

Chapter Summary: Shota takes (Y/n) and Shinso to the USJ to get some specialized hostage training done. But things rarely go to plan, and (Y/n) gets to play the role of the victim to her dismay. But there is one thing she knows for sure, she’s not a tease.

Series Summary: When (Y/N)’s co-worker decided to send a picture of her making a diamond to the paper, her life was over. Gemstone based quirks weren’t all that rare, but being able to make a diamond put a target on her back. After years of hiding in the city, it’s time to hide in the countryside with her Uncle Shota Aizawa and his more than ‘roommate’ Hizashi Yamada. With the promise of training her to be self-sufficient, she’s ready to learn.

Hostage Training

It had been a few weeks since my run-in with Kira, and Hisoka's accident. Despite looking for the animal that hurt Hisoka, we found nothing. Just like the police still hadn't found Kira. It was unsettling but manageable.

I was sitting on the porch waiting for Shota to pick me and Shinso up for training. Hisoka was cuddled in my lap, lazily pawing at my exposed thighs. Per Shota's request, I was to wear my paired down training uniform and lose all the camo elements.

Still, I wasn't a big fan of showing off my body. Lately, I hadn't been so hard on myself about it, after nearly being kidnapped, I was thankful that my body was still my own. Grateful that Hisoka enjoyed my soft thighs and stomach. Thankful that I was able to even move and fight.

Mom would be happy that I wasn't skipping meals or hiding in my room all day. I should really try calling her, I just don't know what I'd begin to tell her. Maybe about Shinso?

"Why so contemplative Kitten? Trying to remember how to tie your shoes?" Shinso kneeled and did up my laces, double knotting the bow.

"No," I puffed my cheeks and pouted when Hisoka ran off to the koi pond. "I was just thinking about my mom is all."

"What about her?" Shinso sat beside me, leaning back on his forearms.

"She moved to a care facility around the same time I moved here. Her quirk lets her make burning coals, and for some reason, it's started activating inside her without warning. She lost one of her lungs not too long ago because of it. So she's partaking in a special quirk related illness program." I stopped myself. "That was maybe too personal. Sorry, I just need to call her at some point, that's what I was thinking about."

"Your mom is the Ash hero?" Shinso raised his brow.

"Um, yea. She was the ash hero, but she doesn't really like to bear the title anymore." I twiddled my thumbs, kicking my legs out to distract myself.

"She was pretty big in the underground. She rescued the same civilian twenty-seven times. It's a record."

"That was my dad." I laughed. "Mom said she married him just so she could find the spare time to breathe. They ran into each other so often, they just couldn't help but fall in love."

"I didn't know that. Your quirk makes sense, though, the coal mixed with the ability to make gemstones." Shinso hummed, sitting up to match my pose.

"Yea. I managed to hide my gem quirk till I was a teen, then- then things happened." I pushed my hair in front of my face.

Shoved in the back of a van. Gunshots. Taking a curve so fast, I bust my head open against the trunk.

I gripped the back of my head, a small bump remained. "You spaced out again."

"Hmm," I glanced at Hitoshi, his gaze focused on my hand.

"I said you spaced out again. You do that during training a lot. I don't want to push it, but you want to tell me why?" He slid his fingers over my scalp, tracing the outline of the bump.

My fingernails became the most exciting thing in my world. The way they were chewed to the quick, the cracked polish and rough cuticles poking through. "I was kidnapped a couple of times, actually. It turns out that the same people who liked to take my dad thought I would have his quirk too." I forced a laugh, pushing my cuticle down. "Of course I played dumb right up till they threatened to kill my best friend. It was like tv you know, they showed her on a camera and one of their goonies walking right behind her. Needless to say, I got so stressed sapphires started to sprout from my eyes."

"I'm sorry," Hitoshi scooted closer to me, his arm resting aginst mine.

"Don't worry about it, Lint ball. That was the easy time around. Besides, my mom saved me that time, and the group was so keen on keeping me a secret they didn't tell anyone. Plus, I never made them diamonds." I sat up and popped my fingers. "Looks like Sho is here, let's go. I'm going to wipe the floor with you today."

"Thank you for telling me that." Shinso stood, and I suddenly realized how much taller than me he was. His hand rested on my shoulder with a firm squeeze.

"Yea, like I said, it's not a big deal." I held my hips and smiled the best I could. My eyes stung, but I couldn't let anyone know.

"Let's go Kitty." He nodded for me to follow him to the car, and I did without fuss. Shinso was a strange man, but he was really decent under all the dry humor and teasing. I could try playing along for now.

"This place is huge." I gawked at the many different disaster simulation zones inside the vast building. The USJ was a top-notch training facility, and Shota had pulled his strings at the school to let us practice inside today.

"Listen closely." Shota walked to the edge of the stairs, turning to face Shinso and I. "Shinso, we're going to be working on search and rescue today. (Y/n), we are going to be working on hostage behavior. Since you are still healing, we'll be focusing on finding the best places to hide and knowing when to run."

"So, I'm learning how to be a useful victim?" I cocked my head to the side and blinked a few times.

"Basically." Shota sighed, looking out at all the different zones.

"This feels kinda sexist for some reason…" I mumbled. "Why can't I rescue Shinso or you?"

"That will be for another time. Just focus on how you can survive until help arrives today." I knew what Shota wanted from me, I knew it was a good plan, and I knew it was beneficial. But did it have to be a kidnapping scenario? After I confess part of my past to Shinso, now he's just going to be looking for me to zone out. Well, I'm going to rock this challenge.

"We'll start off with the desert." Shota leads the way. We passed several other biomes and just how vast the building was amazed me. Shinso smirked, nudging me so I'd keep up. I pushed him right back and passed him to walk by Shota.

At the desert biome, I got to go out into the sandy hell first. It made sense why I was told to lose the camo part of my outfit now. Shinso needed to be able to see me to "rescue" me. Shota was right behind me as I climbed up the hill. The humid air already doing things to my hair.

"If you turn your feet when you walk, it will be easier," he instructed, quickly walking through the grit.

"I'll try," I did as told and didn't slip as much in the sand. "How do I keep the sun from burning me out?"

"You need to wrap your head in a cloth, and possibly wet it with urine." Shota didn't sound like he was joking. Pausing my climb, I wait for him to say sike still.

"Noted, don't get caught in a desert." Shrugging my shoulders, I kept walking. Once at the top, I slipped on the dune and skidded down the other side. Rolling fast, hot sand filled my shorts, lighting my skin on fire. I stopped myself at the bottom and spat up the grains in my mouths. Ugh. Jumping to my feet, I bounced around till my shorts were empty.

"What would you do if that happened with a real villain?" Shota asked me, gliding down the slope. Not once jerking to regain balance.

"Run for my life?" I offered, sitting up and dusting myself down. Licking my lips, I laid back on the ground, resting my eyes in his shadow.

"That would be wise." Shota nodded, an underlining message with his words.

"You want me to run? But you're teaching me stuff?" I cocked my head but got to my feet once I saw him frown.

"At some point, I want you to run and hide. Give Shinso a real challenge in search and rescue. I can't tell you much about our current case, but if you can really give him a hard time, that would be for the best." He paused to give it some thought. "Really think about how a hostage would act in each scenario. How the elements affect what you're willing to do."

"Is this how you prompt him?" I asked, going deeper into the desert. While I lost my chance to bolt, I wanted to keep talking. This was not my biome to start getting active.

"Yes," Shota took my hand and pulled me up the incline. He grinned, tapping my forehead before shoving me down another hill. "Just have fun with it."

"Wha-"I squealed rolling like a soup can, but with more momentum. Sand-filled my shorts again, but it got past my undies too. After I stopped and got my bearings, I looked at the hilltop, Shota had a captured weapon around his hand. So Shinso had caught us super-fast.

Trekking back up the slope to help, I resisted the urge to sneak to the exit. I knew I was supposed to give Shinso a hard time, but this wasn't the biome that I wanted to use all my energy in. It was hot and draining; if I was a hostage, I'd be sticking it out with the villain.

"Oh, Mr. Hero, save me!" I put on my best American accent and waved at Shinso. Having fun, pretending to have been poisoned by the sun. Which wasn't hard to imagine at that point.

"Hold on-"Shinso tried to offer a comforting phrase, but was distracted long enough to let his guard down. Their fight went on for a while until finally Shinso got Shota down and tied in his scarf.

"My hero, you are so brave." I pretended to stumble into his arms and whack his chest. "I've been in the sun for three days. I can't remember my own name, surely you can help me find it."

"How will you handle this, Shinso?" Shota asked, not fighting against his ties. "What should you do with a delirious victim?"

"Delirium, that's my favorite drink. We should get drinks at some point." I don't know what it was about the accent that made me a flirt, but I was clinging all over Shinso, gripping his arms and making him blush. "Such a strong young man. Oh, how much do you train?"

"Don't worry, ma' ma, I'm going to get you some help." Shinso grabbed his scarf and my hand, dragging Shota and me behind him.

I looked at Shota with an evil grin and asked permission to make it even harder. Shota nodded no, and I held back my scheme of accidentally letting him loose. I could try again in the next biome.

It was the blizzard zone, and of course, I didn't have a jacket with me. Shota offered the bullshit answer that I needed to figure something out if this was real. I knew what he was inferring, but I didn't like it.

Goosebumps broke out over my arms as we took the ski lift to the top of the mountain. I held myself and followed behind him, using my coal quirk to heat myself. Shota turned and deactivated my power.

"As my captive, I'm not going to let you waste your energy on coals when I want diamonds." He reminded. "What is your best move?"

"Follow instructions till I see an opening." My teeth chattered, the snow wetting my socks as I trudged through. "Why did we go from a dessert to a blizzard. We're all going to get sick." I slid down a small section of the hill and grabbed a pine for support. Now I noticed the snow that had piled on top of the branch.

"I can't move," I pretended to tug on my foot, gritting my teeth.

"Come on, don't slow me down," Sho was onto my rouse, but I knew I could convince him.

"Then leave me to die and let my power go to waste asshole." I spat, making small grunts while pulling the large branch down further.

"Fine, come here, brat." He smirked, once in range, I let the limb go and sprinted down the hill. "Wait, get back here!" Sho yelled, covered in snow.

Saving my breath, I activated my quirk to create coals. The only place I could make coals was my hands, but that was more than enough heat to keep me warm if I was smart.

I spotted a small cave and did a few laps around it to cover my tracks. Jumping into the small hole, I slide on the icy bottom finally out of the wind. Wasting no time, I made a pile of coals and started to heat the cavern. This time I was doing really good; maybe I could even save myself in this scenario.

To be fair, I wasn't in the snow very long, but my socks were soaking wet. Now I was heating up, all the snow was melting and putting me at risk for hypothermia. Sighing, I took my shoes off and lowered the intensity of the coals. Shinso would hopefully capture Sho and be here to 'rescue' me soon.

How could I make it harder for Lint ball? Hiding was already a challenge, but what else… Maybe fake a broke arm or ankle. Well, I wouldn't want him to carry my big ass off a mountain, that wouldn't be fair. The snow crunched outside. I held my breath and waited.

"There you are." Purple hair and a faint smirk greeted me, his head poking in the hole.

"Who are you?" I scooted away from Shinso, picking up coal to 'toss at him.'

"I'm a hero. You need to come with me." He fumbled for his next words. "It's going to be okay."

"That's what the last guy said….how do I know you're a hero. You're not on tv." I reasoned, making another coal, and getting in a defensive position.

"Here's my hero id." He pretended to pull out a badge, and I exclaimed it. "We need to hurry before the villain wakes up."

"Hey, don't rush me, I've just had the worst day of my life." I reminded him. "Besides I can't go, my shoes are wet and I-"

"Come on," Shinso grabbed my hand and pulled me out, putting my shoes on. "It's a small hike to the bottom of the mountain. I can carry you, but we need to hurry."

"I can walk just fine-"I puffed, turning my back to him. His coat was draped around my shoulder, and he tied the sleeves around my neck. "Hitoshi-"

"We need to move." He used my confusion to his advantage and had me on my feet. He crouched and wedged his hips between mine, quickly catching me off guard.

Latching my arms around his neck, he adjusted me once and started running. It was dumb to go sprinting downhill with a victim on your back, but I trusted his reasoning.

"Why do we have to hurry?" I asked, wondering how cold he must be getting.

"There's a chance there might be an avalanche." He was panting, the strain of my blubbery body, and the cold stressing his lungs. The fast pace and quick moments made my head spin. My every muscle was stressed, trying to help him keep a good grip.

A scarf wrapped around my upper body, jerking me into the powdery snow. Shota held the other end and reeled me towards him. Kicking with all my power, I tried to get free. Shinso nose dived but was getting his baring again. "Hero, you forgot to make sure I was bond down." Shota grinned, tugging me back up the mountain. Changing my tactic, I dug my heels into the earth.

"Don't worry (Y/n), I'll save you." Shinso charged up the hill, ready to take on Sho. Only the mountain top rumbled. In the middle of the two men, I was about to be fucked up alone. I prepared to be at the mercy of the tumbling snow, praying that I didn't crush Sho or Shinso.

"You failed to keep her safe once, are you going to fail again, hero?" Shota was around four meters from me at this point. The snow working in my sandy shorts. The mountain still rumbling with a panicked fury.

"Run." I yipped, the snow moving like a wave overhead. Shota seemed startled, as well. Shinso ran up the hill at full speed. The wave already got Sho, but Shinso grabbed me just in time. He undid the binds, cradling me as the snow hit us.

I didn't know what came over me, but I created a swirling ruby, wrapping it around our bodies like a cage. The snow was able to get through the large cracks, but it kept us from hitting any trees. My stomach did flips, as my world was put through the rinse cycle.

Shinso had my head pressed in his chest, so I couldn't see if my ruby was breaking or not. All I could do was feel my essence in the gem, and keep pouring energy into fixing any impurities. Waiting for the avalanche to stop, I prayed. This was a simulation, but I knew it was not a joke.

Shinso squeezed tighter, snow impacting us from all sides. It would be hard to know which way was up or down. Still, we finally slowed down then stopped, the snow kept settling and getting heavier around us. "You okay, Hitoshi?" I mumbled, spitting out the ice. My legs were so numb from my shorts, I had to reach down to make sure I wasn't bleeding; it was so cold.

"Are you hurt anywhere?" he ignored my question, using one hand to dig up some headspace. I expanded the ruby, a headache coming on from the large gemstone.

"Peachy, now which way is up?" I rested my chin on his collar, taking shallow breaths. While training was making me stronger, I didn't have a lot of stamina built up. Even if I wasn't hurt, my body was stressed.

"This way, I think." He held up a twig and dropped it to test the gravity. With each breath, I brought my life into my palms. With two large coals, I turned up the heat, melting a path. Unfortunately, I had to straddle Shinso, but he was being a good hero and not teasing me.

I wavered for a moment and crashed back into our little cave. There was plenty of space, but the bottom was still tight. Shinso propped me up and pressed his hand to my forehead. "I'm fine, just worn out…here. Can you dig for a minute."

"Yea, I got it." He took the coals and used his scarf to wrap his hands before working on the exit.

With the cold air swirling in my lungs, I took deep breaths. Lifting my palms together, I pushed out even more coals. With the fresh supply, Shinso was able to break out faster. Without his coat, I could admire his toned arms digging through the packed snow.

Tugging me out of the hole, Shinso adjusted his jacket around my shoulders. "We need to find Mr. Aizawa." He pushed my hair back. "Just stay here, and look for signs of movement." he started looking around where we landed, and a hand popped up in the distance. "Mr. Aizawa." Shinso jogged to his mentor. Finding it in myself, I hobbled over. "You okay?" Shinso asked Sho, checking him over.

"Yea, I see you two made it out. That's some good work." Shota dusted the snow out of his hair. "Let's get ready for the next one."

"Wait I'm killed, can't we take a break?" I asked, seeing the exit was just a short walk away.

"We will, after this next one." Shota opened the door, and we both filed out.

I shrugged off Shinso's jacket and handed it to him. "You did a fairly good job at keeping the hostage calm this time. Though maybe lie about the avalanche in real life."

"Noted." He nodded, and when I followed after Shota, I swore his eyes scanned me up and down. I told him I was okay.

Still, Shota did let us use the body regulator before hopping into our next scenario. UA was really a top-notch school, I couldn't imagine how much money they floating around to pay for such high tech items.

"This time, we'll do the shipwreck situation. Shinso, give us three minutes and then come in; however, you see fit." Shota used a small boat to take us to the bigger one in the center of the pool. All I had to do was watch him row, and be a good hostage. It was honestly surprising that none of the training had triggered me yet. Shota was right, I was having fun with it…like I was above the reality.

Once on top of the deck, he tied me with his scarf till I couldn't move my upper body. "How did I do, Sho?"

"That's what I want from you. Make it different each time, give him a real challenge. But remember to save energy for the next." Shota looked over the side of the boat. "I enjoyed your little ditzy act."

"Thanks, I don't know why that accent made me take on a campy flirty character, but it was kind of fun."

"Here, he comes." Shota got into position and watched as Shinso decided to go headfirst into the fight.

When he got on deck, he was soaking wet, his hair still fighting off gravity. "Help help help, he's got a bomb on the ship!" I yelped like a child, wriggling against my ropes. "Mister, do something."

"I got this, don't worry," Shinso was in hand to hand combat with Shota. I noticed he was trying to get him to speak, but Shota wasn't going to fall for his quirk.

"Watch out!" I screamed, seeing that Shinso was dangerously close to the edge. Of course, he knew what he was doing, but I was challenging a scared kid.

What would a kid do if they thought a hero needed help? I stood up and ran full force to try to knock over Shota.

"Stay back-"Shinso warned, but I kept going, surprising even Shota. Still, Shota dodged and caught me before I could fall from the edge. He tossed me back the way I had come, but instead, I tumbled backward on my feet.

My ass hit the lip of the guard rail, and I dropped back. Headfirst, I crashed into the water below. Sucked down by my own weight,I kicked till my legs were underneath me. I was twelve feet deep at a guess. At least I had a good breath before going under, but I didn't know how long I'd have to wait. Well, a kid would try to swim up top, but my kicking isn't getting me anywhere.

Shota would see this as a great training experience. I hoped he knew I was moving at a turtles pace. Changing my tactics, I wiggled like a mermaid with more success, but it wasn't enough. Maybe I was deeper than twelve feet. Why didn't they look over the side, this is just a training.The tension in my throat was building … I wasn't drowning. There was no way that I was drowning. I stayed calm and kicked again to no avail. Seconds ticked by, then a full minute.

Desperately willing my body to the surface, I gasped, the air in my mouth floating above me. Did they not remember I was tied up still? Shit. They are going to wait for the last minute on this, or they just think I can float. Another bubble escaped last my lips. The burning spread down my throat and to my legs. I kicked slower but with broader motions, closer to the top but still too far. Then I put my legs together and did another mermaid kick.

Nothing. It wasn't working fast enough. Another bubble left my lips, and I took water in. The next gulp was deeper. The burning urge to cough and breath. I swam harder, trying to make the distance—finally, a splash.

Hitoshi's body was several meters from mine, but we locked eyes quickly. He made frantic motions and grasped my binding once it was in reach. I coughed, taking in yet another mouth full of water, and then another and another till my lungs were almost nothing but water. He clamped his hand over my mouth, swimming up.

Another gulp in, my vision was blurring, my muscles felt like they were ripping. Hitoshi pushed me up with all his might, and I broke the surface. A nasty gasping, retching, gurgle left me. I needed to retch, breath, and cough all at once. I bobbed under again, but Hitoshi got me in his arms, floating on his chest. He undid the scarf and started to paddle to a piece of the wreckage.

Hacking, spitting, and crying wasn't a good look on me, but I was finally calming down once we reached the floating mass. My arm held firmly on his neck.

"I'm sorry that it took too long." He rubbed circles on my back, turning me on my side so I could expel the water. "I finally got him to answer me, though. Then I lost sight of where you landed, and I figured you could swim."

I grappled with pulling myself up, then rinsed off my face. Still trying to catch my breath. "Thank you- for saving me. For the record, I can swim, but not like that. I knew you would help me, I just couldn't hold my breath any longer. I stayed calm, but a stranger would probably have flipped out." I flopped back against the wood and coughed up a little more water. "Well, I'm safe now. You should go make sure the villain is tied up."

"He's preoccupied at the moment." Shinso glanced up and then back at me. "Where are you hurting?"

"Well, my body slammed the water, so everything tingles. The good thing is the captured weapon must have reinforced my chest. So no broken ribs that I can feel. Though, I don't think I'll be able to donate mom a lung anytime soon. Not that we're the same blood type, but you get my point." I wheezed, rolling over onto my side, and taking a look at my torso… my bra was very obviously visible under my shirt. Covering my chest, I turned.

"I'm not looking." Shinso countered, treading the water.

"Then why do you know what I'm concerned about, hmm?" Glaring back at him, I pursed my lips.

"I didn't think you'd be a pink person." His face went red, he head hanging low.

"Then it's too late. Damn it." I shivered, a cold breeze from the blizzard biome drifting by. "Come on, hero, I wanna go home." I slid into the water, still holding to the wreckage. "Lead the way."

"Hold onto my back." He twirled, patting his shoulder.

"I can swim still." I raised my brow, still covering my chest. Of course, this was all just a drill, but I didn't like touching him so much.

"I need the practice; come on, Kitten." When he didn't move, I rested one hand on his back and took a deep breath. I assumed he'd bob under or realize that I was too heavy and awkward to swim with like that. But I was able to effortlessly hoover over his back. He used my floatation to our advantage and took long strokes towards the pool's edge. Of course, he was good at everything, that's how he got so smug. Working smarter and not harder, I couldn't blame him.

"You really are stronger then you look," I complimented, resting my head on his back. "Don't let it get to your head."

"Is that because you cooped a feel earlier?" He glanced back at me with a smirk.

"No, that wasn't me. That was an American socialite that had been kidnapped. Besides, I realized you were strong long before then. I just thought I'd remind you of how weak you look versus how strong you really are."

"So a backhanded compliment." He slowed his pace.

"Of course," I answered, biting my lower lip. "It wouldn't have to be so backhanded if you weren't such a tease."

"I'm the tease?" He reached the edge of the ship and twirled so we were facing each other. He pulled me flush against his chest. "Since when do I tease you?"

"Nearly every second we're together." I sulked, looking at the ship in the distance. "Like right now."

"Besides now, when have I been a tease?" His breath tickled my throat, his hair blocking my line of sight.

"Like when you make fun of me for going red. Or when I ran into a spider. How about when I forgot to turn the rice cooker on." I listed a few, feeling the heat work up my neck…no I wasn't going to turn red now.

"Don't I kill the spiders? Turn on the rice cooker. And make sure you're not getting sick?" His lips were inches from mine, the heat radiating. Water dripping from his hair onto my forehead.

"You do," I admitted. "But-" He bit lip his bottom lip.

"Do you want me to stop?" There were only millimeters between us. The thumping inside my ears clouded out my panting. Sweat pooled down the side of my chin. Fuck. I needed to focus on anything but his lips.

"No-." His hands gripping on either side of my waist. The smirk he always wore softening to a tender smile.

"We're going to the swell zone next!" We broke apart as Shota yelled from the top of the boat, dropping a rope between us.

"Shota, I need a rest," I hollered back, my entire body equivalent to jell-o. Treading water on my own, making it more apparent.

"One more." Shota climbed down the side of the ship and back into the little boat.

"I'll make it fast this time. How about that?" Shinso winked, offering me his hand, and I splashed him.

"Yea, I'd like to see you find me in under two minutes." I got out of the water and offered him my hand instead, which he took without hesitation.

"You got a deal," he shook my hand and caught a towel that Shota tossed his way. I grabbed my own towel and cocooned inside it. Shinso had entered my personal space; he made my heart race and got inside my head…He really was such a tease.

The rest of the training had been to plan. I no longer played the reckless child, and instead settled for a tired businesswoman. True to his word, Shinso found us in under two minutes, but he struggled to use his capture weapon in the windy zone.

Once that was done, we hit the showers at the gym, then loaded the car and headed home. Shota went over our strengths and weakness and made a remark that I should be paid to be a crisis actor. It wasn't a bad idea, the preliminary hero license was coming up, and I could use the cash since my jewelry gig was up.

"I could look into it," I mused, kicking my legs out in the back seat. Thankfully there had been a few old sets of school uniforms in the gym, so I was wearing a comfy jumpsuit home. "I gotta keep my payments up for school, and after the whole fake jewelry shop incident, I don't think I'm ready to face that industry for a while." I twirled the gem around my throat and chewed my lip.

"We should look into less dangerous lines of work first," Shota nodded, "it would be best for you to lay low till Kira is caught, but if you want to rush things, we can ask the school."

"I think I will start applying around, what the worst that can happen?" My phone buzzed in my pocket, and I saw a message from an unknown number. It never failed; every day at three, I'd get a cryptic message with a blurry picture.

I knew there was nothing I could do to prove it was or wasn't Kira to the police, but it was unsettling.

Shinso was watching me in the rearview mirror. As soon as we locked eyes, I turned my phone off and closed my eyes. Today it was a picture of a pomegranate and the letter C. There was no way I was going to change my number again over this. It would be the third time in three months, and that just makes life that much harder.

Next chapter is in progress. Enjoy

Part One

********************************************* “What the hell?”

Rip heard the astonished cry as the light faded, the sound of a fist hitting flesh followed in quick succession. Forcing himself to focus he picked himself off the ground and saw a man being attacked. The attacker was humanoid but not human. Pink skin, spots over their bald head with a large body and strength superior to a normal human. Rip recognised the species to be Tenctonese, but this did not look like Tencton. It was more like Earth which made absolutely no sense, but he didn’t have time to question that.

Running over, Rip jumped onto a box to get some extra height and slammed his elbow down on the back of the attacker’s neck. Growling the male turned on Rip, as the bloody man who was being pummelled slumped to the ground unconscious.

“Captain,” Gideon snapped from nearby, “Aim for the armpit.”

Realising what she meant Rip slammed his fist into the axillary nerve, a pressure point for the Tenctonese, relieved when the attacker fell. He glared at Rip for a moment before running away. Relieved Rip headed to check on the man who was on the ground bleeding in a crumpled heap.

“Captain?” Gideon’s concerned voice came.

“He’s alive,” Rip said, he frowned seeing a black wallet laying on the ground, “Detective Inspector Dean Hunter, Scotland Yard,” he read, looking up at the sirens coming from nearby.

“I believe the police are on their way,” Gideon noted.

Nodding Rip quickly pocketed the credentials before grabbing the man’s bag as though they were his own.

Hearing people nearby he called them over.

Rip paced the hospital waiting room waiting for news on the man he’d helped (and whose identity he was currently using). He’d already looked through the documents learning why the man was here and worked out the technology level of the world he was in, which should hopefully mean he could get away with his ruse for a few days at least.

While he did all this, Gideon sat cross-legged on one of the seats watching him silently.

“Detective?” a nurse appeared finally.

“How is he?” Rip moved over to her.

She took a quick breath, “He’s unconscious at the moment and we will be keeping a close eye on him, but he will recover.”

“That’s excellent news,” Rip said softly, wondering how long the other man would stay unconscious.

“What’s his name?” the nurse asked, “We don’t appear to have been given that information.”

Rip hesitated for a moment before saying the first name that popped into his head, “Ray Palmer.”

“Okay,” she nodded before asking, “Is there anything you can tell me about Mr Palmer’s health?”

Rip sighed, “Sorry, we don’t actually know one another. We’re working together but just met yesterday.”

She gave him another quick nod, “Thank you for your help.”

“If you can keep me up to date with his condition?” Rip asked, handing her the business card he’d found in the bag, both to ensure the man was alright but it also meant if he was still looking for the shard he knew when his cover was about to be blown.

“Of course, Detective.”

Rip watched her leave before realising he had another question for her, he caught up with the nurse and pulled out a piece of paper, “Can you tell me how to get here?”

*********************************************

The precinct was as busy and chaotic as just about every single one Rip had ever been in as he picked his way through the people. It was interesting to see the mix of human and tenctonese, both in and out of uniform. The two officers at the desk were a human female and a tencton male.

“Can I help you?” the sergeant on the desk asked when Rip stepped forward.

“I’m here to see Detectives Francisco and Sikes,” Rip told him.

The tencton male looked him up and down before asked, “Reason?”

“Detective Inspector Dean Hunter,” Rip pulled out the credentials and showed the officer, “Scotland Yard. I believe they’re expecting me.”

He nodded, “Oh yeah, I’ll take you through.”

Rip followed him towards the desk where two men were sitting, in the middle of a discussion. One human, one tenctonese.

“Detectives Sikes,” the officer motioned to the human who was slouched in one chair before turning to the tencton male in a smart suit, “And Detective Francisco. This is Detective Hunter.”

“Thank you,” Rip nodded to the officer who disappeared leaving him with the two Detectives.

Francisco jumped to his feet offering his hand, “Nice to meet you, Detective Hunter. We weren’t expecting you until tomorrow.”

Noting this bit of information, Rip smiled and shook the other man’s hand, “Managed to get an earlier flight.”

“Well, I’m Matt and that’s George,” Matt introduced them, offering his own hand.

“Rip,” he said automatically, seeing Gideon roll her eyes at him he quickly improvised, “Only my mother and boss call me Dean.”

Matt nodded, “Rip, it is.”

“So, where do you want to start?” George asked him.

Rip knew he had to act as the detective he was pretending to be and work the case. Especially since the man who had come here to do so was currently unconscious in a hospital bed.

“I’d like to read through any update on case file you have since I left London,” Rip told him, “And then perhaps look at the crime scene?”

Matt nodded, “George will get you set up while I let Grazer know you’re here. He’s getting pressure from the mayor about this which he’s made sure to tell us every hour on the hour.”

“This way,” George moved him to a small desk just behind theirs.

Rip scanned through the files.

The disappearance of Kira Jones, the daughter of a high-ranking British official, was the reason the real Dean Hunter had been sent to LA. Well Rip could help find a missing person while he hunted for the shard.

Picking up the phone he pretended to dial a number, then waited for a few moments.

“Gideon?” he said.

With a smile she perched on the desk beside him, “Yes, Captain?”

“Just to let you know I’m here,” he said, nodding to George who glanced his way.

“I can see that since I can see you,” she chuckled.

Rolling his eyes, and ignoring her cheeky remark, Rip continued, “What do you think?”

“The mix of human and Tenctonese is rather interesting,” Gideon noted, “We must at some point find out how this happened.”

Rip nodded, “Other than that?”

“Well there is currently no sign of the shard,” Gideon said, “But considering the other places we have been it usually appears close to the people you meet. I suggest that you continue on this path which should hopefully put you in the same place as the shard.”

“Agreed,” Rip told her, glancing up with a smile, “I’ll call you later.”

Gideon chuckled, “Of course, Captain.”

Hanging up he ignored the amused look he was getting from his best friend and instead focused in reading the file once more.

“One of these days, Grazer’s ulcer is going to burst,” Matt noted as he returned to the desks, “His collection of antacids is getting bigger every time I go into that office and I’ve been in three times already today.”

George gave his partner a frown before looking at Rip, “Matt is being flippant. Captain Grazer is just very….”

“Highly strung,” Matt cut him off with an amused smile, “But he has told us to go to the scene now. He wants this sorted yesterday,” he grabbed his jacket, “And he says hi to you, Rip.”

Their guest’s confused frown made Matt chuckle, “Unless you’re deemed to be much more important, then don’t expect to meet our esteemed Captain.”

“Except if you do something very wrong,” Dobbs called as he wandered past.

Rip laughed, as he closed the file he was looking at, “Sounds like someone I used to know.”

Matt threw a smile at George, he had not been looking forward to having some stuck-up Brit sticking his nose into their case. So far, Hunter had been okay, but the test was how he’d act in the field.

Sliding into the car, Rip stared out the window as Matt drove. George, being the personable guy that he was, questioned their new friend about himself all through the drive. Matt listened in, it wasn’t that he had any suspicions about their guest, but this was the first time he’d worked with Newcomers, so Matt wanted to know there would be no issues. It had taken him some time to get used to George as his partner, but they had a rhythm now and Matt did not want anything getting in the way.

Rip was relieved that neither detective seemed to know anything about their visitor as it made it much easier to pass himself off. Thankfully they reached the crime scene without Rip giving himself away but to be fair, one thing he knew how to do was lie to people.

It was a talent ingrained since childhood.

Sliding out the car he followed the two detectives up to a room where two officers stood guard, one human, one tencton or as they were known here, Newcomers with police tape across the door. Matt and George nodded to both as he walked into the room, Rip gave both officers a nod hello as he followed on and stopped with a slight grimace. The room was small with a double bed in the centre of the backwall with a bedside table on either side.

“This is the most hideous shade of yellow,” Gideon noted as she wandered around, “Don’t you think, Captain?”

Rip glanced at her before he said, “Lovely décor.”

“I think it’s called Mustard Yellow,” Matt told him, “Or as I like to call it ‘Crazy Making’ Yellow.”

Rip followed the other man into the bathroom and grimaced at the sight of dried blood covering the surfaces.

“Oh dear,” Gideon said softly from his side, “This must be several pints of blood.”

Rip studied the bath, and the blood spatter with a frown, “There’s something not right about this. Why is there so much blood not to mention from the file there was at least one tenctonese shot as well and this is all human.”

“I owe you ten bucks, George,” Matt called over his shoulder.

Rip turned to him confused, “What?”

“I wasn’t sure you’d pick up this was only human blood,” Matt told him, “Since there aren’t any Newcomers in your part of the world.”

“I studied,” Rip replied blithely before he asked, “So, this entire room is a set up.”

“From what we can tell,” George replied, “Especially since the bodies we have did not lose this amount of blood and one of them was Tenctonese.”

Rip mused on this for a moment, “Do you have any leads?”

“A few,” Matt replied, “Some dance clubs the girl liked to go to with her group of friends.”

“Have you been to any of them yet for witnesses?” Rip asked.

“Yes,” Matt replied, “All were useless. We’ve got the security footage but we’re waiting for the CSI techs to finish running through it. That’ll be tomorrow.”

Rip grimaced, “Great. So, until then?”

“Well, you did just get off a plane a few hours ago,” Matt noted, “You should try and get some dinner then sleep so you’re in the same time zone as the rest of us.”

“If you would like,” George spoke up as they started down to the car again, “Then it would be my pleasure for you to come for dinner at my house tonight.”

Rip hesitated.

“Say yes, Captain,” Gideon said, “You may find a clue where the shard is.”

“That’s sounds great,” Rip replied, with a slightly forced smile.

George grinned, “Matt, do you want to join us too?”

“I can’t,” Matt shrugged, “I said I’d help Cathy fix her new furniture.”

“Next time then,” George nodded, climbing into the car.

As Matt began to drive again, Rip wondered if he could solve this case and find the shard before the real Dean Hunter woke up.

This wasn’t going to be as easy as he originally assumed.
