Just a dysfunctional Family

Mastermind's POV

"TOGA'S ALIVE!" I yelled as I opened the door to the league's base. Everyone looked at me; some were startled by my yelling and others were shocked by the news.

Dabi rolled his eyes. "How can we believe this guy? He's lying to use for all we know."

"Stop trying to cause problems," Mr. Compress came up in front of me, separating me from Dabi. "Toga's alive. I saw her with my own eyes.

"So our Toga's still alive?" Shigaraki asked, his voice slightly shaky. 

I nodded. "Toga is one hundred percent alive."

The league broke out in a chorus of celebration. Kirogiri let out a sigh of relief and Shigaraki was practically crying as he hugged Spinner. For once, Twice was clearly happy. There was no arguing with himself. 

"Well, where is she?" Magne asked, bouncing up and down.

"Well, she's currently being held captive by the Shie Hassaikai," Mr. Compress said.

Dabi made one of those really annoying whining sounds little kids tend to make. "Oh come on!" Dabi groaned. "What the hell would they want with Toga?"

Mr. Compress shrugged. "Well she didn't tell us exactly, but I assume they want her to help with their little mission."

"What mission?" Shigaraki asked, stepping forward.

"The Shie Hassaikai want to take Izuku from the heroes as well." Mr. Compress walked back a few steps when he saw Shigaraki's anger flare up.

"Why?" Shigaraki asked, gritting his teeth. 

"Th-They want to experiment on him." Mr. Compress responded, his voice shaking, which made him stutter.

Mr. Compress covered my ears. I didn't understand why at first, but then I heard the muffled screaming and crying of Shigaraki.

"Experimenting can't be that bad," Magne said, trying to calm Shigaraki down.

"No experimenting tends to be bad!" I yelled over all the noise.

Kirogiri glared at me. "You're not helping."

"Well, it's true!" I shouted at him. "They have a little girl they experiment on that's miserable, and, speaking from experience, experimentation tends to be torture. In fact, I'm pretty sure experimenting is just a slightly more legal way of saying torture!" 

Dabi spoke up. "Wait, what does he mean by speaking from experience?"

Kirogiri glared at Dabi. "None of your business." 

Shigaraki had stopped screaming. Mr. Compress uncovered my ears but kept close in case he needed to cover my ears again. Shigaraki began to speak in a surprisingly quiet voice. "You know what we're gonna do. Not only are we gonna get my Izuku before they do, but we are also going to tear the Shie Hassaikai members limb from limb for even thinking they can touch my Izuku. We're gonna kill those jackasses."
