"We lost contact..." Jay sighed, their eyes shut, and the bandages no longer wrapped around their face, but instead folded in their lap. In front of them was a piece of paper, and the pen that once rested on their ear, was in their hand, a map of sort drawn onto the paper.

"What....what does that mean?" Adila asked, voice shaky as she held her hands to her chest, looking around at the officers, ━━as if they would have the answer,━━ in the room as Akil rested a hand on her shoulder.

Jay grabbed the bandages in their lap, removing their hand from where it rested on Syrax' scales as they began to wrap the bandages around their eyes again. They turned to face Uraraka and the others waiting on edge for an explanation, "I wasn't able to get her exact location━━" Adila was quickly caught before she hit the ground, her knees weak at those words, bringing her hand to her mouth. Aanu quickly hugged her mother, as Akil and Uraraka looked back at Jay, who didn't look to be finished.

"But." Jay said, and that quickly caught the attention of two women on the floor, "I was able to narrow it down to a certain area."

Jay turned away and looked back at the map drawn on the paper, picking it up and holding it up so Naomasa could approach and look it over. Naomasa examined the drawn map with titled brows, before glancing back up at Jay, who's lips were pulled into a stern frown, "if we search within this area, I know we'll find her in one of these buildings. I will keep trying to make contact with Ms. Yoshino and put in continuous updates. But I suggest we start searching right away. The signal was weak on her part while she and the snake, Syarx, were talking. I can only assume something has happened to her or her Quirk."

"Oh god...!" Adila stood to her feet with shaky movements, hands over her mouth as she rushed out of the room, Aanu rushing after her. ━━She looked visibly sick after Jay's words.━━ Akil had stayed in the room, his head bowed in deep thought, ━Uraraka stood beside him, worried but relived to know they were making progress with Coy's whereabouts.

"I'll send out several search parties right away." Naomasa nodded, turning to look at Aizawa, who has been watching the conversation silently, "Eraser Head, will you lead one of these search parties?"

"Sure." Aizawa sighed, ━━though if you knew him well enough, you could tell he was just as worried for his student.

"Let me come, too!" Uraraka quickly cut in, eyes wide as she stepped forward, fingers laced together in front of her chest as she looked between her teacher and the detective.

"That's━━"

"Please!" Uraraka bowed, eyes squeezed shut, and her face towards the ground. Everyone was staring at her by now, but she didn't seem to care. ━━Coy had always been one of the people Uraraka admired. She was strong, and was always trying to save people, just like that day when she fought Chisaki. She could've died, Nighteye said she was going to die, but she fought either way, because she wanted to save Eri. Uraraka first began to have feelings for Coy because she helped her. She cheered her on when she went against Bakugo at the sports festival, and even noticed the moment when she was close to tears. She supported Uraraka, and helped her gain a bit of confidence in her fight. Uraraka will admit she was in love with Coy, and as clique as it was, she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Coy.

It's why she had to save her. So she could tell her all this. She had to tell her all this.

"Please...." Uraraka begged.

Naomasa wasn't sure what to do, he didn't want to put this girl in danger, but she was begging him to help.

"Uraraka." Aizawa spoke up, and all attention switched to him as he walked up to the bowing girl, "get up." Uraraka hesitated, but did as he said, standing straight and meeting his eyes with her own watery hazel.

"Please, Mr. Aizawa." Uraraka frowned, "I have to help her. She means a lot to me! Even if I don't do much, I have to help! Please!"

"Mr. Aizawa."

The exhausted hero sighed, glancing up at the doorway to the teacher's lounge, where Uraraka and Coy stood, dressed in casual clothes now that they were out of school for the day. The younger was gripping onto Uraraka's shirt, practically hiding behind her as her head was bowed, shadowing her face behind bright green hair, all the while the brunette was nervously wringing her hands, brows furrowed and frowning. ━━Aizawa could tell that whatever the reason they had come to bother him, was serious.

"Come in." Aizawa set down the pen that was in his hand, resting back in his chair as the two girls entered the room. "What do you need?"

Uraraka sighed, glancing over her shoulder at the girl who still had yet to lift her head. The taller reached her hand out to Coy, with what seemed to be a sudden burst of confidence. Aizawa was silent as he watched Coy hesitate, before releasing the fabric she gripped, placing her hand onto Uraraka's. The brunette laced their fingers together as Coy slowly looked up, meeting eyes with Uraraka, who gave a smile of reassurance.

The two looked back at their teacher, and the man relaxed; he could easily tell what they wanted after that exchange.

"We have something to tell you."

Aizawa sighed, ━━since the moment the two started hanging out more often after the sports festival, as a teacher, and being so attached to the group, ━━don't tell anyone he said that,━━ he could very much see the feelings starting to grow between the girls. And the day the two came to him, he knew what was going to happen. The two had finally acknowledged their feelings, and acted on them, and it was more than relieving to see them together despite the several obstacles that would no doubt get in their way. ━━He was one of the first people they came out to, before their families were even made aware.

So Aizawa was more than aware how much this was affecting the girl, and he wanted to help; since the day she first locked herself in her dorm room, to the times he walked past her door just to hear her crying. But there wasn't much he could do.

Aizawa brought a hand to rest on top of the girl's head, nodding his head slowly, "okay." Uraraka's shoulders dropped in relief.

"But you have to be careful. And on guard. Expect everything, understood? You don't know what we'll come across." Aizawa sternly stated.

"Understood." Uraraka quickly nodded, "I promise. Thank you."

"I'll start the preparations." Noamasa interrupted, and the teacher and student looked back at him, "we'll start looking right away."
