I stayed outside of the hospital room, hoping to hear where they were meeting up so that I could go with them. I didn't regret exploding at Kirishima. I wouldn't apologize for it once I knew where they were meeting up. They were desperate. They weren't going to turn down my demand to join them. I knew that much when I waited until night fell to go to the front of the hospital.

I arrived only a bit before Yaoyorozu did when Kirishima started doubting that she would even show up. "What do you say Yaoyorzu?" Kirishima asked, not even bothering to greet her.

"I..." Yaoyorozu didn't even get to finish.

"Wait!" I sighed and turned to see Iida. Of course, he had to interfere. But I'm going. Whether he likes it or not. I'm not leaving Aries there.

"Of all people...you guys should know better! Especially you two who criticized my actions, and like me had to receive a special pardon at the end. Why are you about to commit the same blunder I did? This is foolish." I wasn't confused like Kirishima was. Sag told us all about the hero killer.

Apparently, Iida said something, because Midoriya responded. "Nobody said we're breaking any laws, Iida..." Midoriya didn't finish because Iida punched him in the face. Midoriya spits some blood on the ground.

"I HAVE REGRETS TOO! AND OF COURSE, I'M WORRIED! I'M YOUR CLASS PRESIDENT, NATURALLY, I WORRY ABOUT MY CLASSMATES! AND NOT JUST BAKUGO! SEEING YOU HURT EARLIER...REMINDED ME OF MY INJURED BROTHER! WHAT IF YOUR VIGILANTE ACT TAKES YOU SOMEWHERE THERE'S NO GOING BACK FROM?! ARE YOU SAYING YOU DON'T GIVE A DAMN?!" Iida yelled. I put my hand on his shoulder but he slaps it off. Now I'm angry.

"Iida, what the fuck? I don't know if those glasses are working well, but Midoriya just spit blood on the floor. And he's just come out of the hospital. I don't know why you're here but you should leave. If you're just here to punch Midoriya around and lecture all of us you can go." I said my face of a stony mask of indifference. If Iida wants to punch Midoriya around, he can. But he just has to know there will be consequences.

Iida hung his head, but Todoroki began talking. "You don't seriously think we're planning to smash down the door and go in guns blazing. Do you?" Todoroki asked, and Iida looked up with tears in his eyes.

"We're getting him back without fighting. It's going to be a covert mission. That's how we heroes in training can fight on the right side of the law." Kirishima explained.

"I trust you Todoroki, but when worse comes to worst. I should be there as backup...which is why I'm coming too." Yaoyorzu declared.

"Yaoyorozu?!" Kirishima and Iida exclaimed, but with entirely different faces. Kirishima with a smile, his sharp teeth parted, and Iida had his jaw slacked, and his posture saged down in disbelief.

"There's no swaying you so...take me with you!" Iida demanded.

As we walked away from the hospital Iida piped up. "I apologize, I shouldn't have gotten violent with you." He bowed in apology.

"I'm fine, don't sweat it," Midoriya assured him.

Later on the bullet train to Yokohama City, Kamino Ward we're all sitting down. "Did anyone bother telling everyone else the details of the mission?" Midoriya asked.

"Yeah. And then they wasted time trying to stop us." Todoroki answered, eating something from his bento box.

"Uraraka was really harsh about it, just to drive the point home," Kirishima added, eating a rice ball. Midoriya was in disbelief.

"What we're about to do is a selfish thing that won't be accepted by anyone, even Bakugo and Aries. If you want to turn back, there's still time." Todoroki offered. Everyone else strikes up a conversation but I turned to look out the window, eating from my bento box in silence. I didn't feel like talking. Especially with what we were about to do.
