Zantedeschia aethiopica

Chapter 13: Escape

" A master, I thought you were the boss around here?" Bakugo questioned arrogantly. I kept my eyes on Kaori as she locked her eyes on the ground, still shaking and trembling. " But you're a sidekick." He taunted.

" Kuroguri, Compress. It's time to put them back to sleep." Tomura told them, and I felt my heartbeat quicken. I wanted to leap forward and take her away, I was strong enough to save her at least. I know the boy can handle himself, but she needs a hand. She is too hurt to save herself.

" I can't believe he's such a bad audience member. It's almost impressive." Compress said approaching the two kids, Bakugo didn't back down and was still just as fiery as ever, but Kaori just looked like a zombie, frozen in terror.

" If you want me to listen, then get on your knees and beg!" Bakugo said, looking at Compress with his cocky grin on his lips. I gulped heavily as I watched Compress approach the boy I clenched my hands inhaling deeply making water flow into me constricting my clothes, it was getting too close. I was gonna have to blow my cover, I can't let these kids get injured while I'm here. Just as I was about to shift into my hero form there was a knock at the door. Everyone stopped and froze, everyone looked at the door and held their breath. I looked at Bakugo and hoped that he would use this distraction to go to Kaori.

" Hello? I got a pizza delivery here." A male voice said on the other side of the door. Nobody spoke, it was dead silent in the lounge for once. All of our eyes were still glued to the door. Spinner took the first step off the wall but before he could it exploded behind me, I ducked for cover.

" SMASH!" All Might yelled as he burst through the league's wall nailing Spinner instantly.

" What the?!" Spinner questioned looking back at the hero.

" Kuroguri! Gate!" Tomura demanded and he obeyed, I scampered to my feet looking at the kids by the front entrance.

" Preemptive Binding!" An all wooden hero said as he used his fingers to wrap around Tomura, Kuroguri, Dabi, Magne, Spinner, and Compress. " lacker chain prison!" He said and I dropped to the floor hoping that the two pro heroes wouldn't see me, I couldn't risk getting caught now. Then around everyone but me and the kids.

" Heh, That's it?" Dabi questioned as he activated his quick, I felt light headed, but pushed through, and just as I was about to move towards the kids a flash of yellow came in and knocked Dabi unconscious.

" Don't do anything foolish, it's in your best interest that you cooperate with us." The flash of yellow said as Dabi's head bobbed back and forth.

" Just what I'd expect from a competent new hero." All Might said. " And a Veteran Pro who can move faster than the eye can see. You can't run anymore League of Villains, understand?" All Might asked, his deep glare aimed at Tomura, but I could care less. I needed to go save those kids, get them out of here. there is no way it was that easy for the pros to get us. " Because we are here now!"

" Right after the press conference? They had this ruse planned the whole time!" Compress said.

" Tree-man, you are hugging me too tight."

" HARDER!" Twice told the wooden hero.

" One tends to neglect defense when they are on the offense but we didn't come alone." Another hero said, forming into the room from outside, then placing his hand on the handle before opening it revealing a fleet of police officers. " Take a look, you are surrounded by the police, not to mention powerful heroes like Endeavor." The silver and red colored hero said. All Might then turned to the kids and flashed them his signature smile.

" You two must have been scared, but you two stayed strong." All Might told the kids. " I'm sorry, you're safe now kids." He said and I watched Kaori's head pop up looking at either Bakugo or All Might at this point I couldn't tell.
