Undercover 2 (DekuBaku)

Twenty-one

Aizawa's POV
I just don't understand where they could have gone. It's been over a week since anyone has seen them. A week since Recovery Girl cleared and gave them two weeks of bed rest and no one has seen them since. I'm on my way to Nezu's office, I just searched both boys' rooms and contacted Mrs. Midoriya to see if they went there. They technically couldn't see her for another two weeks yet but I certainly wouldn't hold it against them if they snuck off to see the only woman to show them love in the past 18 years of their lives.

But they weren't there, at first Mrs. Midoriya started to panic and then she got all calm and she actually smiled at me on the video call. "I'm sure they are just working again, they work so hard all the time." I just gaped at her. She seems to have developed a supernatural belief in them, so much so that regardless of the odds she thinks they will always come out on top.

I knock on the door to Nezu's office and hear a soft, "Come in." from the other side. I open the door to see Nezu drinking tea with All Might.

"How are you two drinking tea when we have two students missing, again?" I'm trying to stay calm, I really am but this was pushing it even for my standards.

"Who's missing?" Nezu asked, putting his cup down and looking at me only slightly concerned.

"Midoriya and Bakugo. Again." I answer already dreading what I'm sure I will hear.

"Ah," he picked up his tea cup again and took a slow sip before turning back to All Might. "So how are your classes coming along? Do you have any students that have surpassed your expectations?" I blinked, wait, that's it? No questions or explanations. Nothing?

"Why are you so calm about this?" I am about to lose my mind and he is just relaxing as if I said nothing at all.

Nezu took a deep breath as if he expected nothing less but had hoped to avoid this anyway before turning back to me. "Aizawa, they are not missing. I know exactly where they are and what they are doing. But no I can not tell you any of it so please do not ask." I stared in disbelief, he knows! Wait, he knows? That means...

"Are they safe? Please tell me they are safe, I can't go to a second set of funerals. I just can't." My words were so soft I almost didn't hear them.

"As safe as they can be, all things considered." He nodded, taking another drink of his tea.

"When will they come back to my class?"  I asked next, how am I supposed to explain this to my class?

"They should be back by the end of their two weeks of bed rest, that's why I didn't say anything. I wasn't expecting you to break into their rooms," I flinched at that. Out of context, it sounds very bad.

"My other students are extremely worried, they said that no one has seen them come out to eat all week," I hissed glaring at my boss.

"Awe, I see we will have to tell them something then." He tapped his chin for a brief moment and snapped his fingers. "Tell them they were sent away for further medical testing. We needed to know just how much their condition will affect their lives as heroes."

"They don't know anything about their medical condition," I ground out and see him nod.

"Very well, I suppose I will have to talk to them after all," he sighed and climbed up onto my shoulder before turning back to All Might, "You should probably come too. So you know what I tell them."

"Do you know what's actually going on?" I glared at All Might, I can't help feeling hurt that he didn't tell me after everything we have been through this past year.

"No, I didn't know they were having medical issues at all. I was just doing what I was told and claiming they have been coming to training with me." He shrugged and I heard Nezu groan.
