It's nighttime when I get the text message. I had been relaxing with a few other heroes that hanged out in the Woods Agency. I didn't know any of them really but they were inviting and asked me to hang out with the rest of them. It was a good opportunity to rest since I had been training all morning and then went off doing some random errands for the agency in the middle of the day.

The group had just turned on the tv when I pulled out my phone to check. A group chat had been made, but the only people in it were me, Midoriya, and Todoroki. A bit confused, I unlocked my phone and opened up the conversation. The only message came from Midoriya, and from the looks of it he had made the group chat when trying to send a message to both me and Todoroki.

Clicking on the little unopened tab of the message my confusion only grew. The message wasn't even a message, just a recent location. A loud and frantic sound pulled me from my investigation. The news was on, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

The world looked almost as if it was on fire. Whoever holding the camera was shaky, and they seemed out of breath. The news reporter himself seemed out of breath. They were talking about a large amount of monsters appearing in the streets, causing chaos and fighting anyone they could find. 

That's when I saw it. A large Nomu, like the thing from the USJ attack, dropped down from a building near the camera. The reporter and cameraman startled and backed up, but the Nomu seemed more preoccupied with the hero that had come running after it. My hands went cold as I read the words displaying across the bottom of the screen.

Hosu City. Slowly glancing down at the location on my phone, the cold from my hands spread up to my shoulders. The little green light was in an alleyway from the looks of it, but zooming out of the map I saw the words I had hoped not to see. Midoriya had sent a recent location message from Hosu City, a place that from the looks of it was currently a war zone.

I dropped my phone. There was this feeling of something crawling under my skin. Fear? Concern? Probably both. I felt panicked and quickly stood up. Other's were standing up too. It made sense, we weren't far from Hosu city and they were actually heroes. I don't know if any of us would make it to the city on time, but even if we didn't we'd still be needed.

I turn when someone places their hand on my shoulder. It's Hibiki. "You should stay here, you're still a hero in training. We've got this." He says. I can feel my head shake before I even shake it. His eyes look worried. "It's fine okay, we've got this, stay safe with the others." He says again, trying to get me to sit back down.

This time I reach up with my right arm and snap his hand back. Nothing painful, but defensive and startling, just like I've been taught. "Now's not the time," I look to the ground before steeling myself and looking up at him, "For immature pity." I'm probably being too harsh, I know that, but I'm not going to sit here when I've received a cryptic message from a war zone.

Letting go of his hand, I reach down and scoop up my phone and type in a quick '?'.  Even if he answers I'm already moving for the changing rooms. I close down my phone in hope of closing down some of my current worries and quickly change. Glancing at my mask in the case, I take a moment to glance back at my phone.

No message from Midoriya, but Todoroki has also sent a '?'. Letting out a sigh, I type a response. "Somethings wrong," before shutting off my phone. I snap the mask out of its case and shove it up the front of my hoodie. Uncomfortable, but until I know the situation, this is how it's going to be.

Before anyone can say anything, I whisk into the emergency exit stairway and start going down, jumping over the railing and catching myself every few railings.
