"Eri?"

"Ki! Stay back!" She was holding her horn again. Her fear must have gotten the best of her. This time, I could see energy pulsing around it. I looked down the hallway. No one was coming, so I approached her.

"Eri. Let me see your face."

"Hmm?" She moved her arms just slightly so she could look at me. But it was just enough. "Y-you have a horn?"

"Not really. I just had to take your quirk from you so I could help you."

"What?" I giggled.

"Can you keep a secret?" She nodded excitedly.

"If I see someone's face, I can 'steal' their quirk. Just for a little while." I heard footsteps and released her quirk.

"Eri. Itzuki." It was Mr. Aizawa. "Come with me." Eri took my hand as we followed him.

"Where are we going, Eraser Head?"

"We're going to the board room."

"Why?"

"These villains are here for the both of you. Somehow, word got out that Eri was here." I walked up next to him.

"Is it them?" I muttered. He simply nodded.

"RUN!" Someone shouted. We had no time to react before that person jumped out in front of us. She was wearing a black latex suit and cat ears. Her tail whipped behind her. "He has control of me, Toshi."

"M-Mom."

"Why did I do that?"

"It wasn't you. He was using you. That's his quirk. He can control your body."

"Ina?"

"Shota." She may have had no control over her body, but it was still her. "I thought I'd never see you again."

"Ok!" I interrupted. "Lovely reunion. Can we get back to the big picture here, please."

"Right. Take Eri to the board room. I'll keep her back."

"No. They have the board room surrounded." My mind spun. She jumped at me. He wrapped his scarves around her.

"I have an idea. You keep her here."

"Itzuki!"

"Just trust me!" I picked Eri up and started running. "I'm taking you somewhere safe. Whatever happens, you cannot move from that spot."

"Just like last time?"

"Exactly." She nodded.

Come on. Where is it? There.

"This is Deku's dorm."

"Yup." I tried the doorknob. Locked, just as I thought. I resorted to banging on the door and screaming. Who all was on the first floor? "Yao-momo! Jirou! Tokoyami! It's Ki and Eri!" Silence. Eri started pounding on the door.

"Deku! Let us in!" A moment later, the door opened.

"Come in. Hurry."

"Thanks, Midoriya. But I'm just dropping Eri off."

"Ki. We're literally in the middle of a villain attack. You can't be out there by yourself. Besides, if we get called out as reinforcements, who's going to take care of Eri?"
