Third Person POV

Stairs. There were so many stairs.

The sounds of footsteps and heavy breathing filled the echoey stairwell as the students raced up the stairs.

"Level 30," Iida huffed.

"Wait, Melissa, how high does it go?" Midoriya asked.

"The 200th floor."

"The what?" Kaminari exclaimed.

"That's way too many stairs!" Mineta said.

"But it's still better than running into the villains," said Momo.

"Alright you lazies," Y/N said. "I'll carry you guys the rest of the way."

She raised both of her hands into the air, creating a wind draft that hoisted all of them off of their feet.

"Y/N wait, shouldn't you save your power?" Todoroki said.

"I have plenty to spare." She said before accelerating them upward.

They were flying up levels much faster now, giving everyone the chance to catch their breath.

For Y/N, the new surge in power made carrying people even easier than before. She could lift such a large group with the increased power of her Quirk, as well as maneuver everybody individually.

However, they ran into a stair block on the 80th floor, and Y/N gently set them all down, landing neatly by Todoroki.

"The route's blocked!" Iida said.

"What should we do? Break through it?" Todoroki asked.

"If we did that, I'm sure the security system would alert the villains that we're here." Melissa said.

"Then why don't we go through this door—"

Mineta reached for the handle of a nearby door.

"Mineta!" Midoriya said.

"No, don't!" Melissa warned.

But he had already pulled it open, revealing a way out.

"Fucking idiot," Y/N smacked him on the back of the head. "Now they know we're here."

Regardless, they now had an exit, and ran through it. They stayed together in a tight group as they made their way through the hallway, staying cautious of any threats that would approach.

"Is there another way to go up?" Todoroki asked.

"There should be another emergency staircase down the other end of the hallway!"

"Then let's hurry!"

But to their dismay, the gates both in front and back of them started to close, leaving them trapped.

"The gates!"

"The ones behind us too!"

Iida spotted a door in front of a closing gate.

"Todoroki!"

"I'm on it!"

He sent a huge ice blast through the door, preventing it from closing. Iida jumped through the space, kicking open the small door — and ripping the bottom of his pants in the process.

"Everyone, quick! We can cross through here!"

Y/N lifted everyone through the doorway and they ran through the small door, finding themselves in a wide space filled with trees.

"What is this place?" Midoriya asked.

"It's a plant factory. They research the effects Quirks have on flora here." Melissa said.
