8:30 AM
A group of flashy looking people stood outside of a compound.
"Are you ready?" a homeless looking man asked, turning to a green haired teenager. The teen turned to the man nodded, a determined glint in his green eyes. The man nodded and turned back to the compound. "Let's save that girl."

"UUUGGGGGHHHH!"
"Will you quit that?!" Emily shouted, glaring at her whining cousin. "Your whining isn't getting us anywhere!"
"But it's just so frustrating!" he groaned, rubbing his head. "We've been here for so long and we haven't formulated any kind of plan!"
As the cousins started arguing once again, Ochaco stared at the floor, thinking.
The only way we will be able to get out of here with Eri is if we know where she is, but we have no way of knowing. Besides, we only know what one of those hallways look like! We could've gotten some information if Overhaul didn't kill-... Anyways, there just seems like there's no way out! If we run away blindly or talk back or try to fight, then we risk getting killed! We've waited for so long and yet we can't come up with a solid plan! I've been here the longest and I still don't know anything more than everyone else. I don't know if we'll ever-
"UGH!"
Everyone turned to Ochaco who was holding her arm with her eyes shut tight and sweat rolling down her forehead.
"Ochaco?!" Emily exclaimed, quickly crawling to Ochaco's side. Daniel and Joshua crawled over to her as well, watching silently. "Can I see it?"
Ochaco glanced at Emily. Emily smiled at her gently. Ochaco's breathing started to slow.
I guess there's no way out of this...
Ochaco let go of her arm. Barely peeking out from the bandages on her upper arm were pitch black lines that resembled roots. Everyone's eyes widened.
"What is that...?!" Joshua questioned, scooting back a little from the brown haired girl. Daniel elbowed Joshua's side, earning a glare from the white haired boy.
"How long has this been there?!" Emily asked, staring at the black lines. She slowly reached out to touch it when a hand grabbed her wrist.
"Don't..." Ochaco whispered, narrowing her eyes at Emily. "Just don't..."
"But-... But still!" Emily exclaimed as Ochaco let go of her wrist. "This is concerning!"
"I know, but I need to find out what's happening!" Ochaco hissed, tightening the bandages. "You guys shouldn't be helping me with this!"
"But we're your friends!" Joshua shouted, glaring at her. "What if something bad happened to you?!"
Daniel nodded, narrowing his eyes at the brown haired girl.
"Nothing will happen-"
"NO!" Emily shouted, grabbing Ochaco's shoulder.
"NO JINXING!" Joshua shouted, his hands trembling.
"We can't-..." Emily's bottom lip quivered and tears filled her eyes. She turned to the floor. "We can't lose you, too..."
Ochaco's eyes widened.
