Third-Person POV

A day passed, Hawks begins to search where the criminals that kidnapped Y/n is keeping. As he learned from Kanzaburo, they were planning to transport him later night.

At U.A.'s cafeteria, Midoriya, Togata, and Eri sat together for lunch but the atmosphere around the little girl was unusually quiet.

Midoriya noticed immediately. "Eri? Are you okay?"

She hesitated before whispering, "Deku-san... when is Y/nni-chan coming back?"

Midoriya's heart tightened. Togata's smile softened, and both boys exchanged a glance.

"I miss him.." Eri clutched the edge of her sleeve. 

Midoriya leaned closer, giving her a reassuring smile even though worry churned inside him. "Eri... we'll see him again soon. Aizawa-sensei is doing everything he can."

Eri's red eyes shimmered. "Can we visit him? When he comes back?"

"Of course," Midoriya said gently. "I was going to ask Aizawa-sensei today."

Togata perked up, trying to lift her spirits. "We should bring him something! Maybe his favorite fruit?"

Eri brightened just a little. "Like how he used to bring me apples...?"

Midoriya nodded. "Exactly."

But elsewhere in the building, tension was rising.

Bakugou and Kirishima were walking past the faculty lounge on their way back to class when they overheard voices from inside.

"Those villains scum! They won't let Tomioka rest!"

Bakugou stopped immediately. Kirishima nearly bumped into him.

Principal Nezu stood inside, reading over a report with a heavy expression. "Hawks is currently tracking the hideout where they're keeping Tomioka. The villains intend to move him later tonight."

The Principal looks up to the Class 1-A homeroom teacher. "Aizawa.."

Aizawa stood rigidly nearby furious, and trying not to show it. Then his phone buzzed. He looked at the caller ID and his expression darkened even more.

"The Hero Commission," he muttered before answering. "Aizawa."

"Eraserhead, Tomioka Y/n has been kidnapped. They were ambushed by a group of villains. We're alerting all cooperating heroes now."

Aizawa exhaled sharply, gripping the phone. "I'm aware. Hawks is already searching. I told you monitoring him wouldn't stop anything."

"We understand your frustration," the Commission agent replied. "But we're increasing surveillance and support. We can't risk his Quirk destabilizing under stress-"

Aizawa cut them off. "My student is in danger. Save the excuses. Just send me everything you have."

He hung up.

Nezu gave him a sympathetic look. "Aizawa..."

"I know." Aizawa growled, shoving the phone into his pocket. "Y/n hasn't even fully recovered from Kyushu, and those bastards took advantage. I'm going to get him back."

"I'm counting on you," Nezu replied with a soft but firm smile.

"So Eraser, how come you're not adopting him yet ehh?" Present Mic jokingly asked, which Aizawa ignore it and left but he's considering it.
