If I were in My Hero Academia- Redo

28

(No PoV, with the heroes at UA)
"So you and Mic are official?!" Midnight asked.
"Unfortunately" Aizawa groaned.
"Oh sho, don't be so negative" Mic said.
The TV in the break room was overcome by an emergency amber alert.
"Speaking of which, who even listens to Amber alerts anymore?" Mic asked.
"People who have common sense," Aizawa- answered, listening to the names of the alerts.
"Sho's pretty worried about aria again for no reason"
"He's a teacher, shouldn't he be?"
The rest of them started listening to the names as well.
"Repeating again, Aki Kimmie, Rikio Epps, Futto Rae, Shai Lee, Hai Lyn, and  Tera Zheng. If you have any information on any of these people, please come down to your local police station to give information. Repeating again, Aki Kimmie, Rikio Epps, Futto Rae, Shai Lee, Hai Lyn, and  Tera Zheng. If you have any information on any of these people, please come down to your local police station to give information. Thank you"
"Sho, why are you always so worried about her?" Mic asked.
" Because she's accident prone. She gets herself into dangerous situations in just a few seconds. She's also only eleven, a child"
"She's fine, she's smart, Aizawa. She has the intellect of an adult-"
Everyone's phone went off.
New message in; POTENTIAL SPAM
Would you like to open it?
" Did everyone get that email?" Nezu asked.
"It doesn't say who it's from, so I say we don't open it," Aizawa said.
"But what if it's something from one of the hero agencies?" Mic asked.
"It can wait to be properly inspected. I would much rather miss an email than risk getting a pop up virus" Aizawa said, rational as always.
"I guess I'll be the one to see then," Mic said, unsuspecting.
"Hello, heroes. We have captured your little friend here. If you don't give us one million yen by the end of the week, she will suffer big time. As you can see, she's already badly injured, shot. Aria, why don't you say something to the heroes?"
" What the hell is this?" Mic asked.
Everyone gathered around him and his phone.
" I told you that something was wrong," Aizawa said.
"How is this funny? Aria looks seriously injured!"
"It's not. Something always seems wrong"
Aria shook her head no over the footage.
"Do it," Shigaraki demanded. "Maybe the heroes will come if you give them a sob story"
Everyone looked mortified.
"Who exactly are you showing this to?" Aria asked, whispering.
"She looks scared"
"She's with the villains, Nemuri, of course she's scared"
"Why are you showing humor right now? She's basically your kid!"
"Oh my, this is bad," Nezu said. "Let's not fight right now, because Aria is probably depending on us right now"
"All the pros, maybe even Eraserhead! I know he would love to see you alive" Shigaraki said.
"I'm going to die soon. I've been throwing up blood for the past month. I'm sorry to Aizawa, who had to deal with all my bullshit, and I'm sorry to Emma and Sam, who are probably very worried about me after watching me get rushed into emergency surgery. I'm sorry" Aria said, not whispering.
"Great, great. Maybe your heroes will come to save her after you see this" Shigaraki said.
Shigaraki walks up in sight of the camera and reaches behind him.
He pulls a gun out from behind him and points it directly to her head.
"What the hell is happening?" Aizawa asks.
"Maybe you will reconsider after seeing this?" He asked the camera.
"Please," She whispered. She looked to the side he was on and started to cry. "I can't leave. Not without my cousins"
"Well isn't that just too bad, so sad?" He mocked her crying. "Nobody will miss you"
"My name is Aria ______. I have a younger brother named Max. PLEASE PUT THE GUN DOWN! I want to be a diagnostician when I grow up, I have big dreams and plans ahead of me. I play the clarinet. PUT IT DOWN! I'm only eleven years old, I'm not even twelve yet! Please, don't kill me. I haven't done anything yet in life, and I have so much ahead of me! Tomura Shigaraki, you've been hurt by the people you loved! You're experiencing a generational effect, you are following in your father's footsteps! What would your sister think of you now?"
"She's using psychology to try and stop him from killing her," Aizawa notices.
"We are alike, Shigaraki. You have trauma, I have trauma. We've been hurt by the ones we thought we could trust. I was open with you so you could trust me. You haven't been open to me" She says.
He puts the gun down.
"Who hurt you?" Shigaraki asked.
"My brother. He used to hurt me, try to kill me. At school. The teachers thought it was harmless, given that he's different. He almost killed my friend. He almost killed me"
He put the gun back up.
"Why are you doing this?" I tried to compensate for him, and tried to reverse the negativity.
"Tomura, put the gun down" I cried.
"Tell me more. Who else hurt you?"
"My friends, I guess. They bullied me? One of them exposed my deepest, darkest secret to all of my friends"
"And what secret was that?"
"My crush from second grade"
"And who was he?"
"I-" She coughed.
She started gagging, blood started pouring out of her mouth.
"Is the little hero actually dying?" Shigaraki taunted her.
"You will never be saved, little hero. You are too weak to fight back, and you couldn't walk if you tried" Shigaraki said, tauntingly. "You did well, using reverse psychology and the bystander effect and all, but I'm just as smart as you are, Aria. I've lived longer on this earth, than you ever will. You are going to die here"
Everyone watched in shock as the rest of the scene played out, ending with her getting shot again.
The email closes itself, deleting it as well.
"What the hell was that?!" Midnight wondered out loud.
"How did this even happen?" Everyone was asking.
Aizawa paced around in circles.
"She's still alive"
"She was shot! She can't be alive!"
"But she is! I was the first one she told. She comes to me for everything!" Aizawa says.
"And you're saying she's-?" Mic asked.
"Immortal" midnight finishes.
"How?" Nezu asked.
"She gets a certain amount of times she can die, almost like a video game. They've been going down from two. It's confusing even for me, but she's practically immortal at this point. And even-" Aizawa pauses.
"What?"
"If she's already died twice, then she's probably already actually dead"
"And you kept this from all of us?" Midnight asked.
"She didn't want me to tell anyone"
"You would risk your career and life for her? All because she didn't want you to tell anyone that she's somewhat immortal?" Midnight asked.
"Aria has-"
"I know that Aria has issues, but why does she's always close to you!"
"I was there last night. When she was taken. Not when she was actually taken, but I saw her at one point that night"
"That too?"
"I was on patrol, I see a lot of people, I honestly didn't think it was her at first, but now I know that was her"
"What makes her special that you can recognize her in a crowd? You obviously like hanging out with her, why didn't you adopt her?"
"It's her hair. Jesus Nemuri, she's also pretty much one of the only Americans here. I'm also a hero if you didn't already know. I can't take kids in, I wouldn't be able to provide for them"
" A child has been kidnapped by the people we know as the league of villains. We don't know who the child is exactly, however, it may not matter soon, judging on the contents of the video. The child in the video had been shot twice, and was forced to answer questions hosted by the leader of the league, Tomura Shigaraki. The girl tried to use psychological tricks to persuade him not to shoot. Unfortunately, he ended up pulling the trigger and we have no idea if she is alive. Street footage of one of the league members, Himiko Toga, kidnapping the girl has also been found, and will be playing now. Some things have been blurred for necessary purposes"
The video started to play, a black and white recorded footage of her also using reverse psychology to not get killed.
"How are they allowed to show these things on the internet?" Aizawa asked.
The video continues to show, leaving off when the footage goes to static.
"This is too crazy"
"Scary"
"Unrealistic"
"Unrealistic?"
"She shouldn't be using reverse psychology on people. It's proven not to work as much as it did in her dimension"
"This isn't her dimension, Shotā"
"I know, hisashi"
"We don't even know if she's alright. She could be dead for all we know"
There was a knock on the door.
Aizawa went to open it.
He expected the press must be outside, wondering what's happening.
It was detective tsukauchi.
Looking for answers.
Even though he's a detective.
And he should be doing it himself.
They invited him in and they all sat down.
"Have you seen the video yet?" Tsukauchi asked.
"We got the actual emails. It's-"
"We know who it is. And we haven't found them yet"
"It's Aria, we saw the street footage"
"We don't have many suspects, but we suspect that the league paid someone to get Aria for them," he said.
"Because if they're asking for money they must not have money, right?" Mic asked.
"That's true,"
"I don't like this, what if it's fake?"
"It can't be fake unless someone has a quirk that allows them to make faulty camera footage. It's highly unlikely that it's fake"
"That's also very true"
Tsukauchi's phone started ringing, and he went outside to answer it.
