~~Three weeks later, Sero's POV~~

I hope we're not too late. It's been three weeks. Three weeks too long.

We all booked it to the address Hakurei gave us. Everyone used their quirks to move as fast as they could.

I used my tape to swing through buildings, throwing me closely behind Bakugo, Midoriya, and Momo.

Iida had a paper of the shortcut Momo had mentioned in his hand as he led us since he was the fastest. He waited until he was in view of one of us before making a few more turns so we wouldn't get lost.

After what seemed like hours we entered an abandoned-looking building, and soon after, the bar.

"Dang, you guys weren't kidding. Looks like the whole city shut down." Denki said, looking around the area we when in.

All of us were still on our guard, making sure no one could sneak up on us.

"Earphone Jack, Anima, I would like you two to be out here making sure no one comes behind us; and call the pro heroes to tell them where Todoroki actually is," Iida said to the two.

Jirou and Koda looked at each other before looking back at Iida and nodding. Iida nodded back and turned to the rest of us.

"Everyone be on your guard, we have no idea of the layout or any hidden spots in this place. Always be ready as if you're about to be attacked." Iida instructed. We all nodded.

I didn't even notice that I was staring until Kirishima put an arm on my shoulder. When I looked up everyone except Jirou and Koda were walking into the building.

"Hey, Dude, it's alright. We're here now, and we're going to save Todoroki, yeah?" Kirishima said with a small smile, holding his fist out.

I took a breath, stopped the leg I was unconsciously shaking, and looked back at Kirishima before fist-bumping him.

"Yeah, thanks, man. But that's easier said than done." I replied.

"Hell yeah, it is. But who cares? Whoever's in there with Icy Hot. We'll kill 'em." Bakugo said with a wide smile, his hands sparking up.

Midoriya placed a hand on Bakugo's shoulder, making Bakugo look at him and roll his eyes as his smile dropped, quickly.

"Ugh. Fine. Maybe not kill him. But maybe beat them a bit." Bakugo said, almost seeming like he was asking for permission from Midoriya.

Midoriya shrugged and slightly nodded, making Bakugo's smile come back even wider this time.

"Hell yeah," Bakugo said in a hushed but excited tone.

Some of us chuckled a bit at the handle Midoriya had over Bakugo, but my laughter fell quickly as I started thinking about Shoto again.

Don't worry, Shoto, please just hang on a little longer.

We walked through the halls cautiously. Momo and Iida leading the group. Shoji and Satou watching behind us, while the rest of us looked around to make sure nobody tried to jump out and attack the middle of the group.

Finally, we made it to the door, talking on the other side of it.

Iida held out his hands signaling to get ready for an ambush.

3... 2... 1!

Iida counted down with his fingers before we all busted in and attacked the first person we could see.

I jumped towards Twice and immediately immobilized him with my tape, wrapping it so many times he couldn't break it.

"Wha- what the?! Who hell do you think you are?!" Twice shouted to me as I rolled my eyes and looked to see if my classmates needed my help.
