Thicker Than Blood (A My Hero Academia Fanfic)

A Plan For Rescue

For the first time since cutthroat escaped prison. I didn't have any extreme night terrors. I slept through the whole night. It was a weird feeling to actually sleep. It almost made me concerned in a way. Are they planning something? Is he too busy now to keep trying to break me? Before more thought could swim through my mind an alert on my phone scared me. I looked, it was a summons from nighteyes agency. My heart started to pound in a mix of excitement and anxiousness. I've never dressed so fast in my life and bolted out the door. As I was on the train, I realized I should've probably waited for Izuku.

I was freaking out to much to wait. I wanted to do something and do it now! I sprinted to the agency and entered the lobby. Bubble girl looked surprised to see me. "Oh! The meeting isn't going to be held for awhile," my heart sank a bit and I nodded. "Yes ma'am," I sat down on the chair. "You could go talk with sir nighteye. He's in his office, he's been wanting to talk with you," I nodded and walked down to his office. I knocked politely. "Yes? Who is it?" I cleared my throat. "It's me, Scarlet. Sir Nighteye," he opened the door and I took a seat.

"You got here too fast and didn't read the rest of my message. You weren't supposed to come here," I rubbed my neck a little embarrassed. "You must be anxious about the girl still," he walkes over to me. "Reminds me of your father wanting to go head first into danger," I was happy with the, I thought to be complement, before he got serious. "That's a very dangerous habit that you'll need to break out of, however," he fixed his glasses. "Yes sir," I said kind of sad and he checked his watch. "Well we should head out to the meeting place, let's go," I nodded and followed him and bubble girl to a large building with quite a few pro hero's inside. My mind went crazy over all the fangirling I had to keep under control being in such a room. Not too long after I had been here, in walked Kirishima, Ochako, Tsu, and Izuku! I ran up to them. "Ohhh you're here early scarlet!" Kirishima exclaimed.

"Yeah!" I got closer to them enough to whisper. "I'm not sure what's fully going on though. Look how many pro hero's are here. It's making me worried," the others looked around and agreed. I looked to Izuku who seemed to be in a trance. I smiled a bit knowing he was probably looking at each hero one by one and saying their names. I met eyes with uncle and jogged a bit toward him. Tsu and Ochako followed behind me. "What are you doing here un-Mr. Aizawa?" I've got to stop doing that. "I was called here suddenly. I also heard roughly what's going on," before uncle could say more, Ryukyu chimed in. "Girls, I told you before, didn't I? Even if you're all students, now that you're here for a work study, you're a legitimate part of our forces," I forgot that they were doing their work study with her, which made me feel like an asshole. What kind of a friend am I? "You two seem like you'll be able to play an active role in that matter," I looked to the girls to see what she meant by that but they looked equally confused.

Ryukyu told nighteye that was should get started. "Thanks to the information we received from you all. The investigation has moved forward substantially. We will now have a conference to share what information we have acquired," he gave a serious glare to everyone and continued. "Regarding what the small organization, Shie Hassaikai, is planning," nighteye and bubble girl lead all of us to a meeting style room. A huge rectangle made of individual tables with many chairs. I had never seen anything like it. I feel bad for whoever had the displeasure of putting this room together. We all took our seats, I sat between Mirio and Izuku. Bubble Girl gave a super quick run down of what happened during Kirishima's last work study mission. Then it was, the pro hero, centipedes turn to explain his findings. He then mentioned twice had met with the organization and my stomach turned. Remembering the league was involved but much to my relief it seemed they didn't come to an agreement. Instead choosing to fight each other.

Some light banter broke out but nighteye shut it down and had bubble girl continue the findings. A pro hero in a yellow mask, I didn't quite recognize, asked why us kids were here. Fat Gum jumped up in defense of his two students like a proud dad. He then introduced himself in case we didn't know his name and offered some candy. I wasn't about to turn down some free candy so I happily took a piece and popped it into my mouth. Nighteye explained that fat gum was here because he has a lot of experience in the drug world. Fat gum then dropped a bomb shell that there's a drug out there that can destroy quirks!? All of us were shocked and stunned by this news. Amajiki had even been hit by one! Mirio asked if he was alright, which thankfully he was after he had slept.
