Inseparable Bonds

The Chase is On

Aizawa and Todoroki chased after the Villain and the two students. Both of them were unsure of what was going to happen to either of them. Compress's plan to lure Bakugo out from the group would've been flawless, if Todoroki hadn't been with them for about two months now, or something like that. They'd all lost track of time after the second attack on the school.

Bakugo had been chasing Midoriya and Compress for a little bit, and before long, they had managed to get to Hosu. Midoriya had been pulled by his wrist, and at this point, the wound in his shoulder had started bleeding a lot again.

Using his free hand, Midoriya clutched his open wound. His eyes were closed tight, and he could feel himself flying in the air.

Bakugo was getting angrier by the second. After all these years, he never would've guessed he'd be moving through the air to catch his pebble of a friend.

"Where's your flashy quirks Deku?!" he yelled.

Midoriya's eyes snapped open. Why didn't I think of that? It was the most plausible thing for me to do, so why didn't I do it? My shoulder. I was stabbed. That's why. All Might is dead. That's why. I can't do it. I shouldn't even be here. Midoriya started crying. I want to go home. I want my warm bed. I want to know that I'm safe. 

Midoriya turned, looking at his ashy blonde friend. He nodded his head, and looked up at the villain pulling him away from everything he held dear.

Compress dropped him. He yelped as his shoulder bumped the ground, causing the gash to grow a bit bigger. Midoriya landed in a familiar alleyway. After glancing around the alleyway a little bit, he realized where he was. 

Todoroki stood, looking down into the oddly familiar alleyway. It was too familiar. Memories of the fight with Stain flooded his mind as he gazed down at Midoriya who was now sitting against the wall, with Bakugo putting himself between Midoriya and Compress.

"Mr. Aizawa, I need you to tell Iida that we're at the alleyway of the Stain fight. Tell him to bring the class. Bakugo can't fight Compress on his own, but with all of us, we can get out of here. All Might is no longer here, we need to be stronger. Endeavor is the number one hero now. Heaven knows what chaos will come with the new number one hero. Go! I'll jump down and stall, but Iida should know where we are." Todoroki commanded, jumping down to help Bakugo. 

"We wanna be in on the fun Compress!!" Toga wined, walking into the alleyway with Twice next to her.

Todoroki turned around to see the blonde and her friend. Bakugo turned, as his eyes shifted to Midoriya. Dang it. Midoriya is in between us. If we move, we've got to deal with Compress.

Todoroki looked up, and nodded. Aizawa's black hair rose, and his eyes turned red. In the dead of night, he wasn't seen, nor was his capture device. His scarf slowly came down, and wrapped onto Compress before picking him up. Toga and Twice looked up, but didn't see anything. 

Bakugo and Todoroki took this chance to move in between Midoriya and the two villains. Before long, Compress appeared again, but with his two companions.

***

Iida led the class from the bullet train to the alleyway Aizawa spoke of, filling his classmates in as he went. He explained the coverup that the police had done to save those three from harsh punishments. He explained how all of them had stumbled upon that alleyway, and why Aizawa had worded it the way he did.

"I almost died but thanks to Midoriya and Todoroki, I was saved, and that is a debt I will always owe them," he finished.

They were all excited to see their classmates for real, and not while they were forced to attack them; not when they would disappear into the darkness again; not when they were unsure if they'd be back alive; not when tears filled their eyes; not when the villains got in the way of every movement.
