Fire. Blue flames spread across the trees. Such a lovely sight really; but maybe that's just me because I love the sight of Dabi's blue flames burning.

My classmates began to panic. Midoriya began questioning one of the pros about the little kid... Kota -I think that's his name. I felt my stomach turn with guilt; I hope he's okay. I didn't think he'd be here in the first place. I just hope he's somewhere safe.

Unfortunately, Midoriya seemed upset about Kota and that shot down all my hope. I took a deep breath and hoped for the best. I can't let my guard down. The LOV is counting on me and my goals are also on the line.

But just as I was thinking so I realized someone wasn't here...

"Shoto!" I shouted with panic, "Where on earth is Shoto?" I exclaimed as saw Dabi's fire beginning to extend. Shit shit shit... this is bad.

"He's with Bakugou!" someone told me.

I panicked even more. This isn't good. Why did he have to be picked to be Bakugou's partner?! I can't let Shoto get hurt. I can't. Not him.

"We're the League Of Villains..." in came Spinner and Magne with a few more of our allies.

With everyone distracted, I took a run for it. However Iida shouted my name, telling me to stay put but I told him I needed to find Shoto. I didn't give him much time to react; I left before he could say a word. I ran as fast as I could to the point where Dabi said I should meet with Mr. Compress. I activated my quirk to quicken my speed.

Soon enough I made it on time and there was a man wearing a dark yellow, double-breasted overcoat and a white mask with black details.

"Hey, Mr. Compress right?" I asked as I saw him from a distance. I called him over and he elegantly bowed.

"Indeed I am, I'm pleased to know you remember me Miss [Y/N]." he took my hand and kissed the back of it, "Shigaraki said to be extra careful when handling you, so let's get on with the show shall we?"

I took a deep breath and nodded, "Very well but please do be careful regarding a certain someone. I don't want anyone hurting the boy with half white, half red colored hair. He's important to me."

"I see. However, he is on Shigaraki's kill list."

"What?!" I exclaimed loudly which made Mr. Compress cover my mouth.

"Please don't shout, it's not very lady like and someone might hear you." He pleaded.

"That idiot." I referred to Tomura. "No one's killing him. I won't allow it."

Mr. Compressed sighed, "Well from my part I don't have any intentions on killing him. But as for the others they were given the order."

"He's so going to hear me." I muttered displeased. "Anyways, let's get started then. Bakugou's with Todoroki. Surely there's going to be other students trying to protect him or something. It's so tiresome."

Mr. Compress agreed, "How tiresome indeed. Furthermore, I don't like the idea of having to fight with children."

I nodded.

"But the show must go on." He told me as we began to walk off.

He commenced to tell me how we needed to make sure I looked the part of the damsel in distress who got kidnapped. He suggested I get my clothes a little torn and my hair disheveled. I agreed and began doing it however...

"You're already limping a bit, so all you need is a little dirt here and there, a tear on your sleeve and you should be good." He added ever so casually.
