Ch.11 - You Cannot Physically Harm Your Soulmate

The number of coffee cans seemed to have increased in the small room in the last few days. Bakugou's conspiracy theory had taken hold of Midoriya and Todoroki, and now all three were working tirelessly to figure things out and try to find some sort of clue or idea as to how to get the ball moving further.

"So if we compare our observations, guesses to identities, and known quirks... this is what we have so far." Midoriya inhaled slowly, hands jittery from not just his fourth cup of coffee.

"Fear uses a light-based quirk and we believe her to be Amelia-San. Tsukki-San has a verbal quirk, and seeing as we all know we saw Gluttony's face and recognized her but can't recall her face due to a similar quirk, it's logical to conclude it was Tsukki-san. We know Sasaki Reiki has a blood healing quirk thanks to talking to a few of her classmates at UA. Hatsume-San said Amarante-San has a quirk... so our idea of her being quirkless is out. Though... Hatsume-San didn't share what Amarante-san's quirk was-"

"Do you think Hatsume is in on it?" Todoroki asked a pen in one hand and a sticky note in the other.

"No... I think she's just being Hatsume-San and doesn't know or can't remember..." Midoriya continued on his little run down. "Moving on, Luca-san has some similarities to Deceit... so I think we put him on that. His illusion quirk is also why Sky-San seems to have been able to hide her real identity despite her height and weight staying the same."

"That leaves at least three others..." Bakugou tapped his fingers against the table. "That bubbly one, the other boy and the bitch who helps run the front of the house..."

"We should be cautious of those three and Amarante-San then... we don't have any idea what they are capable of..." Midoriya slowly exhaled. "Now comes the question... what are our next steps?"

"We fucking go and find them when they are alone and force the information out of them!" Bakugou smirked, picturing their faces when the three of them cornered each one of the little vigilante shits one at a time.

"You need to be enlisted into a self-help class..." Todoroki sighed, and then looked towards Midoriya. "I think we need to identify what they are after and go from there. If we can work in strides to what they are doing, we can find and possibly stop their actions beforehand... and not make it look like we harassed any more maids..."

Bakugou growled, the noise drowned out by the sounds of the door opening. A custodial man waved slightly to the three boys who had been in this room a lot the past two days. He collected the trash and cans and then made his leave. None of the boys paying much attention to anyone but themselves and their conspiracy board. No rest for the obsessed it seemed.

It had been this way for nearly three days. Just a coffee-fueled binge that came with sleeping shifts so they all could try and get on top of this. Even Burnin had started to leave them all alone after seeing how hard they were working. She'd keep Endeavor off their backs for at least a week, and hopefully by then... they'd have something to show for it.

Midoriya sighed, placing his head onto the table as Todoroki finished jotting down the newest ideas and linking pieces. His stomach was practically eating itself, and he knew that the last meal he ate was breakfast... yesterday.

"We should all get something to eat." Todoroki commented, his own stomach feeling pained by hunger as well. "The agency has a convenience store attached to the main floor... let's go grab something to eat quickly and then come back and try to figure out the goal of this group."

Bakugou and Midoriya followed out, both wanting to fill the empty space in their stomachs before they possibly got grumpy from the lack of nourishment in their bodies. A quick ten minutes of grabbing plastic-wrapped snacks, various drinks, including more canned coffees, and some snacks and sweets for the quick energy bursts, the boys were heading back.
