"Are you being serious right now?"

"You're going to do this now? Better yet, before I go to work? Can't you see that I have other things to worry about? My gosh you're so irritating."

You frowned, before shouting back, "Not everything is about you, you know? I have things to attend to later on, too. I just thought that we should talk about it now instead of later."

"But right now it seems that you're too mad to even think straight."

He turns towards you, pinching his nose bridge angrily. He opens his mouth, presumably to say something, but he shuts it again.

Turning away from you yet again, he walks towards the balcony door, flinging it open.

He steps onto the ledge, not before he says, "You know, you always get on my nerves. I'm not sure why I'm still with you."

And with that, he takes off, disappearing from sight.

You stared into the distance, clenching your fist. "Well, fuck you too then," you murmured. His words obviously stung, but you were trying to not let it get to you. Wanting a distraction, you decided to get ready to go to work.

An hour later, you arrived at the location you were assigned to for your mission. You tried forgetting all the things he had said to you, since you didn't want it to affect your work in any way. Putting your feelings aside, you ran towards your partner.

Patting them on the back, you asked, "Ready to head in?"

They nodded, and so the both of you prepared yourselves.

Today's mission was a little different from others that you have done. You were dispatched here to collect intel from someone in the League of Villains. Why the higher-ups trusted them, you were not sure. But since you weren't one to question, you accepted this mission.

You started heading towards the agreed meeting spot, which was the top most level of the building. It was said that music would play, ensuring that the both of you wouldn't get lost. You headed up, climbing stairway after stairway, until you finally stood before a door. What seemed like classical music was echoing out from the other side. What a weird choice of music , you thought. Composing yourself, you pushed open the door.

The room was dark, save for the light coming from you and your partner's torches. You walked in first, followed by your partner. The both of you then headed towards the source of the sound.

However, as you got closer, you did not see anyone. Instead, as you shined your light around, you were met with the sight of a portable radio on the floor. Your heart sank.

You weren't sure why, but you started pressing some of the buttons. That's when the music stopped and a recording started to play.

"If you're listening to this, it means you really fell for it! I can't believe it; I thought the so-called 'heroes' were smarter than this. Well, hope you enjoy our explosive gifts!"

You recognised that voice anywhere... Tomura Shigaraki.

Shit. This whole thing was a trap.

Just then, a loud 'boom' was heard from behind you, and you, together with your partner, were thrown forward by the force of what you were assuming was a bomb. Your ears were ringing, and everything hurts. You looked back, your face paling in horror. Your only way of leaving the room was blocked.
