"What do you mean Morgiana's alive?! I- w-we—-!" Alibaba yelled at his dijinn.

Amon simply took a puff of his cigarette, allowing the smoke to engulf the room. "

"We saw her become dust! It isn't what you just say it is!" Tears welled in the blondes eyes "y-you can't just say something like that and not have PROOF!"

"Alibaba!" Aladdin spoke. "I understand where you're coming from, but you can't just debunk what he says. I know you blamed yourself for what happened but may-maybe she's alive!"

Alibaba clenched his dagger tightly within his palms.

The memory was still vivid in his head. Even though it's almost been a year.

—————-

"DIE!" His voice was loud as he flew towards the large monster. His dagger- turned-sword gripped in his charcoal-hands. Fire covered his blade as he attempted to strike the medium.

But the mediums hands were faster then his newly obtained form. It's large hand moved swiftly towards him and all he could do was watch as he waited for his body to turn into dust.

"His head instinctively turned towards the voice of his only household member.

The way she pushed him out of the way with her strong arms caused him to gasp as the world slowed.

Her eyes crinkled slightly and her lips tilted to a smile as the mediums hand overtook her body. The contact made her skin disintegrate, and Alibaba wasn't fast enough to pull her out. The seconds consuming her life quicker and quicker then his head could register.

Her voice was small- but maybe it was because he was closest to her, or maybe it was because they were bound by

But he heard her last words.

'Alibaba......

"

Alibaba bit his lip again. "She's dead."

"But what if—!"

"DONT——there's no miracle in the world that could bring a dead person back." Alibaba said, remembering his old friend "You said it yourself, there's no magic that can resurrect the dead."

" He said, once more puffing out his smoke.

The two sat down in the silence.

"The dijinn began.

Alibaba shook his head- almost in disbelief at the question "the only one I've ever had was...."

He wasn't even able to say her name.

"

"And what could that be?" A new voice entered, the trio looked at the purple head man who was followed by his two companions.

"

"Yeah, what does that have to do-"

"It means that she wouldn't have been able to use the household powers if she was dead—-"

"

"/!"The group yelled.

"" Amon replied.

"Then does that mean my spell worked?" Aladdin asked. "If that's the case....where is?"

Amon at quiet for a moment. "

The group raised a brow in confusion. "What does that mean..?"

The entirety of USJ was quite as the tensions began to die down. Now that the LOV is gone they were finally able to check on Morgiana who laid unconscious after fighting.

Or perhaps after summoning that genie.

Now on closer examination, they couldn't help but gasp at her condition.

To simply put it, every socket and hole that Morgiana has- blood is present. Her eyes, lips, nose, ears, hell, even her fingernails! Blood was seeping through and forming a puddle underneath her.

Just...how destructive was that...?

"Everyone! Give her space, I called recovery girl and she is on her way along with Nezu and a few other staff members." Aizawa said seeing them huddle around the wounded girl.

*Click*

"....what the are you doing Thirteen?" The scruffy teacher asked seeing the handcuffs around the passed-out red-head.

Thirteen was quite as they pulled out a phone, her cell ringing in the silent field.

"911 what's your emergency?"

"Yes, I would like to report a companion of a villain-"

Aizawa grabbed the phone from the pros hand- simultaneously hanging up the phone.

"Eraserhead." The pro replied cooly. Making the teacher all the more annoyed.

"Were...were you about to report Morgiana?" He said- his anger seeping between his clenched teeth.

The hero stood quiet for a moment. "I'm just obeying the law."

"You're reporting an innocent person!" Mina said- her fist clenching her shirt as she saw her friend in cuffs. "She's done nothing wrong!"

The other students shouted in agreements.

The pro sighed. "She is an accomplice of a villain. You heard how that man spoke of her betrayal."

The students stood quite "y-yeah! but she betrayed them! And didn't she say she was a... slave?" The word was quiet as Tsu began "M-maybe it was against her will!"

"I-if anything——-she's a victim!"

Thirteen looked through her helmet as she assessed the students. Truth be told, she didn't want to arrest an innocent soul- however, this singular child caused several other lives to be put in danger.

And that's on the account of her being a traitor—-

"Just because she betrayed the villains doesn't mean she can't betray again." Thirteen said.

The field was speechless as the statement settled into their heads.

"I'm simply taking precautions." Sirens were heard as thirteen finished.

Cops rushed to the sight as they saw the unconscious teen in cuffs- they attempted to go take her before menacing red eyes caught their visions, hair and scarf floating.

"Don't you fucking touch her."

"Eraserhead- I'm not afraid of reporting you as well as someone who is protecting a criminal."

"I'm protecting a child!" His eyes glared at the astronaut. "An child!"

"If that's the case, it shouldn't matter if she's questioned! If she's so innocent then she'll be freed after she isn't deemed suspicious. The longer you deny her to go with the authorities the more suspicious she is! As well as you!" Thirteen said their own anger seeping through their words.

"I'm not letting her go because she isn't suspicious in the first place! She was under the UA protection since she was discharged from Recovery Girls treatment—"

"Shota-San, let her go with the authorities."

The group looked at the mouse that was riding the shoulder of snipe. Nezu jumped down to the ground as he walked up to the group.

"Thirteen isn't wrong."

"Nezu—-!" The teacher was silence by a paw.

"Aizawa, while I respect your concerns, you can't lie about your suspicions. Just because you deny louder doesn't mean everything is solved."

"You know after this accident, Morgiana seems like the prime suspect in having a hand in this entire operation. If she is innocent, then we'll be seeing her soon, and if she isn't..."

Aizawa bit his lip. The class gulped.

Recovery girl began to heal the girl, her heart breaking a little more seeing the sorry-state of the red-head.

Nezu nodded to the police once recovery girl was done. They picked up the unconscious girl before taking her away.

When Morgiana awoke, she couldn't help but feel a sense of neutrality. Perhaps If it was another person her age they would've felt an intense feeling of fear and sadness. But as Morgiana gazed at the bars she felt....nothing. No fear, no sadness- if anything, she felt a feeling of nostalgia and disappointment.

"Oh...." maybe she could've been more expressive- but being in a cage was nothing new.

"I'm back." The only difference between this one and the other was that, this one was clean- slightly dusty, but cleaner then what she's seen.

And there isn't a dead body rotting away-

"Aren't you too young to be in jail?"

Morgiana turned her head towards the voice. Seeing that there were 4 grown, 'scary' looking men.

"Yeah! What are you charged for?" Another one said.

"Shoplifting? Trespassing? Jay-walking?" The other asked.

Morgiana stood quite "...I'm not sure?" She asked. And she wasn't, as far as she knows she hasn't committed any crimes-

The four looked at her in confusion. "...you don't exactly look like someone who's new to the jail scene though."

Morgiana nodded her head "I'm not."

The four looked in between each other. One of them asked "How are you familiar with jail then? If you haven't committed a crime?"

"I grew up in cages." Morgiana answered truthfully.

Now that her being a slave has been revealed to her classmates, then there isn't any reason for her to hide the fact of her origins.

"...g-grew up?" One of them hesitantly asked.

She stood up as she looked through the bars "Yes, I was bought when I was 4 and lived most of my life in cages- and if not in cages—" she rattled the cuffs on her wrists "then in chains."

She turned to them, her eyes lightless "If i, Morgiana, have ever committed a crime.....

Then it was simply for being alive."

The four sat speechless as the girl walked to the wall, she sat down, her eyes close- truly, undisturbed with her current situation.

"...why are you in?" She asked in the silence of the unit "why are you here?"

The larger, more burly man spoke "robbed a bank. And fought 10 cops." He calmly said. "Names Dan" He added.

"I go by Didi! I conducted several organizations that transported illegal goodies !" Another said, his voice cheery.

"Call me Shin. I stole someone's identity." He ended his short introduction.

"Attempted murder. Strike." Strike ended his even shorter introduction.

They expected Morgiana to be scared now that their crimes where voiced. But her face remained neutral their intros.

"It's nice to meet you." She bowed her head politely.

"...aren't you scared of us? We're criminals!" Didi asked "this guy even almost killed somebody!" He said gesturing to Strike, who in turned growled.

Didi took a step back-

Morgiana tilted her head "My master has executed several people." Her eyes became cold. "Even his own children."

She remembered those days vividly.

How he would bring in prostitutes and sex slaves into his cellulars. He did what one would do with them.... She could still hear the screams and moans.....

And her master wasn't sterile. It was all the more obvious when one of them bared his child. Morgiana wasn't sure what she expected. Perhaps he'd take the girl as his wife- give a happy life towards his own kin.

But Morgiana knew how cruel he was- so why was it such a surprise when he murdered the child and mother?

....and she could've even do anything.

Morgiana closed her eyes for a moment "if he didn't kill them himself he'll have others do it for him. Wether it's complete strangers or lovers-" she opened her eyes staring at the four "and it's simply done because he was bored."

The four couldn't help but gulp at that. And she witness all of that....?

"Than wouldn't that make you a criminal? You killed haven't you?"

Morgiana shook her head "I've never killed before. I've fought through life and death situations, witness death- but I've never used my own hands to end another."

"But you've said it yourself! He would force others to...kill if he didn't want to do it himself-wouldn't you be one of the ones that did the deed?"

"I simply took the beatings for being defiant." She played with her thumb "and at some point he gave up on trying to get me to kill."

"Then why didn't he kill you?"

"To put it simply, I was his strongest weapon."

The cell rose with tension.

"What are you lot talking about?" The group turned towards the man in a uniform.

"...things." Strike said. He garnered a raised brow from the officer.

The man let out a sigh while opening the gate. "Fanalis. it's time for your hearing."

The red-head rose a brow "Hearing?"

"It means there gonna ask you questions and you just have to answer them, if you tell the truth they'll let you free- well if you've done nothing illegal." Shin provided.

Morgiana nodded her head. "Oh."

"And if you don't have that one bastard detective you can lie pretty easily- I mean your face doesn't really tell anything!" Didi said.

The officer hit the bars with his staff "quiet down!"

Didi pouted.

"Hello Fanalis-san! It's nice to meet you."

Morgiana dipped her head towards the man in beige. "It's nice to meet you too..."

"The names Tsukauchi Naomasa."

"It's nice to meet you Tsukauchi-San."

The man smiled slightly. "Just know, everything you say will and do will be held against you. Now, Shall we began?"

Morgiana nodded her head.

"Your full name is Fanalis Morgiana's, is that correct?"

"Yes." He wrote down something In his smal notebook.

"You are 16 years old. Is that correct?"

"Yes." He wrote again.

"When is your birthday?"

"I... do not know."

The man was quiet. He wrote something.

"Who are your parents?"

"I don't know." He wrote.

"Where are you from?"

"Ankoku Tairiku"

The man rose a brow but recorded it anyways.

"Now then-" he began "it says here you are a traitor- to a man that is a villain, is that true?"

"Yes."

"And how did you betray him?"

"I didn't die for him." She fiddled with her thumbs as the man stared deeply at her.

"What do you mean... you didn't die for him?" He asked.

"As his...property-"

"What do you mean property?" He asked.

"I was his slave."

Ding.

Tsukauchi wasn't sure what to say. Because everything that Morgiana has said was true. And as far as he knew- human-trafficking was illegal. There may have been a few cases where they were able to stop human trafficking almost as soon as it starts. But with the onslaught of heroes they were able to get rid of the vast majority of human-trafficking.

Is she perhaps one of the few that got away...?

"How long have you been a slave?"

What's even more befuddling was that they couldn't find any of her records, they even have the birth records of villains- there's rarely a person that's completely out of the system, and yet—

"Four years old was when I was sold to him."

"And before then?" He asked.

"I was running away." And she was, she remembered it slightly. It was foggy and minuscule- but she remembered faintly running away from people fighting and shouts—-following a red-head....

"What were you running away from?"

Morgiana shrugged "I don't remember."

Tsukauchi hummed as he leaned back into his chair. "We stirred away from the original question, I apologize for that."

"It's alright."

"Can you explain to me how 'not dying for him' is considered betraying?"

"Well, as his property- as his slave, my flesh, blood, and body is all his- and as such without him I have no life. To put it simply- since I ran away from him while he was being carried off-"

"Carried off?" He asked.

Morgiana nodded her head "a friend of mine- another slave, carried him into a crumbling dungeon, it buried them both..." her eyes looked down sadly. "Killing them both..."

Tsukauchi stayed quiet, letting the girl continued.

"And instead of staying- and dying with my master I...escaped. And became free."

"And how long ago was that?"

"About two- almost three years." She replied.

"So you have been free for these last few years?"

"I was captured again, but I escaped not long afterwards."

Tsukauchi could feel his throat lump up. "And you didn't try to report to anyone when you were free?"

Morgiana raised her brow as though she was looking at an idiot. "No one cared enough to help. And even if they did- they would be too afraid to."

"Afraid?"

Morgiana nodded her head before slowly dragging her finger across her throat "if they were to go against slave masters or traders they'll be murdered."

"But it's against the law!"

"But they are much more powerful then a few written words, Tsukauchi."

The larger man stayed quiet in disbelief.

"How powerful must they be to break the law without consequences?"
