Kirishima's pov

I woke up in a dark room. Scared. It hadn't got through to my brain about what happened last night. This doesn't seem real. I'm not even sure it is, everything seems foggy.

There was a gag in my mouth to keep me from talking, or maybe...screaming?I was sat on a wooden chair with my arms tied around the back, and my legs tied up too. I didn't have any energy to try to get out of whatever place I was in, everything feels heavy. 

I couldn't see anything aside from myself, the floor and also a camera?

Was they watching me? Who are they?

I still wasn't convinced that this was actually happening. From what I remember, I was at the park. Yeah, I was at the park with Mina, Denki, Sero and Bakugo. We were planning to stay there for the night. I fell asleep first.

But...it gets blurry after I woke up. I think it was like one in the morning or something. I wanted to go for a walk to stretch my legs so I walked near the trees. Then there was a pain in the side of my head and I think I passed out.

After that, I woke up here. I can only assume I've been kidnapped. The problem was who by. Depending on the person, I might be able to get out. Well, once I have the energy to, and I'm not in too much pain.

I heard a door open and close, footsteps nearing from behind me. I wanted to see who it was but the person placed a blindfold on my eyes so that I couldn't. They tied the knot and the walked infront of the chair, standing up.

"Oi. Kid."

I lifted my chin weakly in response, suddenly feeling the room temperature rise. A bead of sweat fell from my temple.

"Do you know why you're here?"

I shook my head 'no'.

"Well. I won't name names, but we want to acquire a certain someone at U.A. to join our lovely league of villains. And to get him, we planned out a little scheme."

Bakugo. They wanted Bakugo. They tried this bullshit before, so I knew that katsuki wouldn't join, but there's a small chance he would in some circumstances.

"See, we know we can't get him to agree to our terms unless he had no other choice. We've been watching you and your friends for a while, it seems he's particularly close to you. Very close." He paused, tapping his fingers together.

"Anyways, what would be better than to have you as leverage to...persuade him to join the league."

I tried to speak but my voice was muffled by the fabric in my mouth.

"What was that you were trying to say? I couldn't quite hear you." I heard a small laugh.

"Well it's no fun just talking by myself. I suppose I should hear you too." A cold hand brushed against my cheek to the back of my head, undoing the gag. He took it out from my mouth afterwards, making me cough slightly.

Once I cleared my throat, I sighed.

"What was it you were saying?" He asked, sarcastically.

"I said... He won't do this. He won't join. You mean Bakugo, right? Bakugo won't fall for your tricks, he's too smart." I tried to sound brave, but I was scared out of my mind.

"Tricks? It's not a trick, boy, it's a plan. If he doesn't want to join, I'll explain the situation with you, and you'll become my hostage. My only demand would be that Bakugo joins the league, if he doesn't, he'll know perfectly well by then that you're as good as dead." He stopped talking again before continuing in a softer tone. "And of all people, you should know that he doesn't want you dead. He needs you alive so that you can be together."
