Chapter 7 by Koriandr Koriandr

Who was it?

Deku

Tim felt a manic grin begin to come over her face as she saw who arrived, the one she had seen in her mind, the one who stirred a foreign feeling deep inside her body. Something was wrong with the form she now inhabited, aside from the high likelihood she was now a villain. She felt her expression begin to change despite not willing it to. Her eyes narrowed as they stared the boy down, her head lowering slightly as she felt a girlish laugh escape her lips. Her hands sliding across her face slowly as her grin turned to a sinister smile.

"Deku..."

Tim purred. Did she really just do that?

"Toga! Stop right there!"

The psychotic blonde unconsciously swayed back and forth as the young hero stood before her. Despite her cavalier appearance, she was still trying to think of a way out of this mess. If this person, what was his name? Deku? Whoever he was, he was clearly a vigilante of some kind and was coming after her. This only confirmed Tim's theory of being stuck in the body of a villain.

But how? The girl she was sporting the body of didn't look like much on the outside. Could she really be a threat to anyone? The way this Deku guy glared back at her, watching her every sudden movement with intensity, it made Tim think she had to be more than meets the eye. Anime rules, right?

But if that was the case perhaps She could simply explain herself. If the heroes of this anime world were anything like the ones on the Justice League, surely they could understand crazy things like this was happening. They could maybe even help her get back to her world. She could only hope that was the case.

"Please wait, I'm Himoko Toga! it's your darling in the flesh! Come here, let's get closer Izuku!"

Wait that wasn't at all what he had meant to say! Was there some kind of... filter in place? If he was placed in this anime, perhaps he had to play out the role this woman played in the show, or perhaps it was simply that the actions he took and words he spoke were filtered through her? Either way, could practically here the Riddler cackling at her expense, making up some riddle to try and explain the situation with a 'tut tut!'

"I know who you are Toga, now stand down! I'm taking you in! Whatever the League of Villains is up to, we're going to get to the bottom of it!"

Tim personally would have been fine with that. Surrendering would show she wasn't the girl they thought she was. She could get one on one time with the heroes and plea her case.

Unfortunately for her, such an action would never be something Toga would do unless she was infiltrating as someone else. So while her attempt was to say 'ok I'll surrender, please take me in to try and ease things over', what actually came out was:

"No can do Izuku, you have no idea how much I've missed you! Now like I said... Let's get closer!"

The next thing she knew she had drawn a knife from her pocket and brandished it at Deku. The only way out of this was to fight Izuku and escape... or try and help him win and get captured. How had things turned out like this? She couldn't stand that someone like the Riddler had put her in this scenario.

"Let's have some fun!"

"Dammit Toga, I'll stop you!"

She charged in a crazed state at her darling Izu... ahem, at the hero, her blade at the ready.

Tim's moves were wild, sporadic, reckless, undisciplined, and a dozen other adjectives that came to mind. She waved and slid, darting around frantically. Cutting and slashing her dagger through the air. Tim's training felt inaccessible in this form. Bruce would never have tolerated such lack of finesse and coordination in combat.

Yet, still, she somehow dodged and evaded Deku's strikes. Her opponent powered up, sparks igniting in zigzags of light up and down his body. This kid had bonafide superpowers and all she had was a kitchen knife!

Throwing the fight as Toga was proving difficult. The girl's will overrode her own at every turn, but she had to try.

Whatever she was going to do, she needed to decide fast.

What did she do?
