*Lost* / Izuku's and Katsuki's Journey

Chapter 2

"Now that I've gotten your attention, I must warn you." Nezu began. He jumped from his chair and stood proudly on the huge desk he was awarded as the Principal of UA. His small body paced back and forth. "We are holding a mandatory lock down until further notice." 

The students began to whisper among themselves. A lock down? Why? Izuku was especially unhappy about this. The one and only day for his figurines, gone. 

Suddenly, a small, shriveled man came through the door. His blond hair and usual phrase, "I am here!" immediately caught the attention of the crowd. The students waited quietly, expecting details as to why there were being caged in their dormitory. "As you know, we don't conduct lock downs for nothing. We have found warnings of an unknown villain roaming the streets near UA." All Might's announcement created many questions throughout the crowd, with Katsuki being the first to speak. "We're heroes for god's sake! I think we can handle a stupid villain." The classroom came to an agreement to his statement, which wasn't a usual response to Bakugou's outbursts. 

"Heroes in TRAINING." All Might corrected. "And we don't have enough information on him to allow you all to roam freely in the area." All Might pulls a document from his back pocket and unfolds it. The UA students rap around him, trying to get a visual on this villain. But the picture was blank. All the necessary information on a usual villain report were missing. The only data written on the paper read:

Suspect is believed to be the reason behind many recent disappearances of Heroes.

Heroes had been going missing. This created a stir of mixed emotions in the principal's office. How could they be careful when they didn't even know who they were to be cautious of? Nezu spoke up once more. "Students, we ask that you remain here for the time being. We don't know what we are up against, but he seems to be around a level B or A threat. Please be understanding." The room came to a quieting halt. "If that's all you extras need, then I'll be going back to bed." Katsuki pushed past his classmates and went straight to the door. "Who cares about some villain. Level A threat my ass." He exited the room in the obnoxious way he always did. 

 Izuku's smile he once had in the beginning of the day had now faded. The one thing that probably would've lightened his whole week was now no longer a possibility. The brown haired girl realized her friend's troubled look. "Cheer up Deku!" Ochako grabs the sulking boy by the hand and heads for the door. "We...We can do something else! You like that one hero game, don't you?" Izuku was now being pulled by his classmate through the dormitory. He loved the attention. He plastered a huge smile on his face. "Of course, I love that game!" 

The dorms were lively that day. Nobody was missing. They all played games in the living area. Kirishima and Kaminari battled it out on the foosball table. Tsuyu and Toru sat on the coach playing an intense game of go fish. And the loudest activity yet, Mina, Sero, and Aoyama were engulfed in a dance battle; Aoyama unsurprisingly losing. Uraraka and the freckled boy sat in two chairs, away from the chaos that was consuming the room. Ochako stared at his face. She analyzed everything. His green tangled hair, his emerald eyes to match, and his everlasting smile. She admired everything about him. His strength gave her strength. "Deku-kun!" She chirped. Izuku's eyes snapped up, startled by the sudden outburst. "What's on your mind? You're always thinking." Izuku wasn't sure how to answer. He thought of everything, yet nothing at the same time. He couldn't truly describe what was going on in his dead. "I...I couldn't really say." He started. "Life, I guess." Ochako gave a puzzled look. Then an enthusiastic beaming smile. "Woah Deku! You sound so mysterious!" She giggled to her remark. 

It had begun to get dim outside. Deku checked his watch. 7pm. Usually his bedtime was around 11pm as he stayed up researching every hero he had the pleasure of learning about. But tonight, for some reason, he gave in to the temptations of sleep. His eyelids got heavy and he let out a huge yawn. Uraraka noticed his tired expression. "Are you tired Deku?" She asked in concern. He didn't want to admit it, but he was. He gave a slight nod to his friend who stayed by his side the whole day. He admired her. She was always looking out for him, no matter what. He wanted to stay there all night, just talking. But sleep got the better of him. He began nodding off without realizing it. Ochako giggled at the sight. Deku-kun was falling asleep before her, trying so hard to stay awake. She wanted to cherish that moment, but it was time to get him to bed.
