Bakugou and Midoriya are currently in the classroom, watching as the rest file out. Soon, it's only them and Aizawa-sensei. Midoriya doesn't hesitate and pulls out his notebook. He hands it over to Aizawa-sensei.
"If you want my autograph, I'm not giving it to you," Aizawa-sensei says, looking eager to crawl back into his cacoon.
Midoriya rubs his neck. "Uh, no. It's about Eri."
Katsuki shrinks into his seat. Aizawa looks at Midoriya. "Eri?"
"I'm speaking, Deku," Bakugou barges in before Midoriya can let his secret slip from under his grasp. "Deku saw Eri on the streets one day and let her back with that creep, Overhaul. Eri and I...knew each other, you could say. Deku is...helping me save Eri from Overhaul."
"Why is Overhaul so dangerous?" Aizawa-sensei asks.
"Well... he's making a Quirk Destroying Bullet and Eri is the main part of the operation."
"How did you find out about this?"
"It's not important."
"Well, I guess you guys can go to lunch now. If you don't have any valid resources you could be lying."
Katsuki shifts nervously, Midoriya giving him a sympathetic look. He glares at him. "You don't have to, Kacchan," he says.
"Shut up." Katsuki takes a deep breath and sits semi-straight. His stomach ties in knots. "I have a past with Eri," he begins nervously. "We... we went through very similar stuff."
"So you and Eri are siblings?" Aizawa-sensei assumes.
"No. I met her when I was with Overhaul."
"What does that mean?"
"I created the base of the Quirk Destroying Bullets." Suddenly, his body is being suffocated by Aizawa's scarf. "Wh-What!?"
"Aizawa-sensei! Kacchan didn't do it on purpose," Midoriya fretted.
"Tell me why you were part of the operation," Aizawa snarls, tightening the scarf.
Bakugou is angry but scared but Eri is top priority. "Overhaul used me. I didn't want to be there. I tried escaping. That's where I got the large wound on my arm."
Aizawa stays silent, unsure of how to react. "Let me go, old man," Bakugou grumbles. He wants to run away – to hide. He's so scared that Aizawa will hate him. The scarf loosens around him and Bakugou rests back in his chair.
"Okay. Give me the notebook. We'll go through with this," Aizawa says. Katsuki lets out a sigh of relief when Aizawa left it at that.
"Thanks so much Aizawa-sensei," Midoriya says, bowing.
"Get out of here. I'm tired," Aizawa snarls.
