Izuku POV:

About an hour after being given the info from All Might, the hero board worked rather fast in helping put things together and get heroes set up to do two simultaneous raids on two different locations. They also gave a briefing to address the situation as well as say the League was given authorization to use their quirks as a vigilante group. This protected our end as well as theirs. With this, our group began to split evenly through the two raids. Babaigawara, the UA students, Nighteye, Ryukyu, Fatgum and Mr. Compress joined me in the Hassaikai raid while Miruko, Endeavor, Hawks and the rest of the League went to handle the immediate threat of the Nomu with most of the pros and provisional license the commission could spare. I also asked Gigantomachia to head with Tenko and the group in hopes to avoid being outmuscled by the Nomu since it was hard to anticipate what we'd be up against. But what really scared me was that we have no idea where Nine or his group is. Depending on what he does could jeopardize everything right now.

"Midoriya. Are you ok?" Mr. Aizawa asked me to come back to the reality I was in.

"Y-yeah. How long until the raid starts?"

"Five minutes." Since we wanted to catch All Might completely off guard, we were planning the raid to fit perfectly with the invasion of the Nomu factory. Hard to believe though that it was in a rather commonly used hospital with several patients. As such, the second the Nomu factory raid would start, the Hassaikai raid would begin seconds after.

Taking the time to calm my nerves, I walked over to my friends to see Ochako holding a small crudely hand made doll made out of tissue paper and sticks. "What's that?"

"A gift Eri made for me a while back. She said she wanted to show how happy she was and that she was making one for you as well before...this." She held it close to her heart for me to understand she felt somewhat at fault. "I should've known earlier that wasn't you at the restaurant. If I did, maybe Eri wouldn't-"

"None of us knew. That's why All Might could set this trap. We knew he was going to retaliate, but not as quickly as he did. But don't worry. I'm going to help bring Eri back." I held her hands as a form of a swearing to her. Ochako shook her head when she heard this to correct me.

"We are going to help get Eri back. I'm just as much at fault for letting Eri get captured as you are. Because of that, I need to see this through as much as you. We're in this together and I won't leave you." I felt a bit of solace in these words before Ashido came up behind us.

"Seems you two are getting along really well." We looked over to panic a bit before moving away. "From what that sounded like Ochako, it almost made me believe that you were proposing to Mido. Should we expect a sibling for Eri soon?"

"I-I-IT'S NOT LIKE THAT MINA! I-I-I WAS JUST SAYING AS A FRIEND!"

"Sure you were." Toga nudged Ochako's arm for us to continue to blush. "C'mon Ochako. we know that you like Midoriya. Why don't you just admit it and when Eri comes back, you can actually be her real mommy."

'Eri's real mommy.' The thought came to my head with a somewhat bad thought to make me go over to a wall and start headbutting it. 'Idiot! Idiot! IDIOT! DON'T THINK THESE THINGS!' Everyone started laughing at this for Nighteye to walk over.

"Why are you hitting your head on a defenseless wall?"

"Cause he thought of plowing round face here." Kaachan spoke up with a smirk for me to glare at him. "Alright, we're done. No need to get testy."

"The invasions going to start soon. Everyone get ready. Midoriya with me." I followed Sir Nighteye for us to head towards the front. "You'll be leading the charge today. Having you open a hole right off the bat would show a mark of power and determination with the cops and heroes. Many are losing their ability to fight All Might and the fact you've shown a gate for them to enter into has given them hope. Let's use that as a momentum starter."
