Iida had just punched Midoriya in the cheek, scolding him for this endeavor to get Bakugo and Haru back. Tensions were high, and just when the group of students thought that they couldn't be higher, the sound of crutches approaching caught the group's attention. Everyone looked up to see Aiko approaching, and almost everyone's expressions softened. "Gessei?" Midoriya asked.

"Sorry I'm late," Aiko said, "Walking with crutches while holding a bag of cookies is much harder than it looks, but I had to convince my parents to let me come back to the hospital somehow so I figured this was the best way."

Iida's expression turned foul as he turned to Kirishima and Todoroki, "You invited her? She is barely walking and you thought it would be a good idea to invite her on your suicide mission!?"

Todoroki glared at Aiko, "I told you to stay home. How did you even know when we'd be meeting?!"

"I invited her," Kirishima said, stepping forward, "If anyone is feeling the most guilty, it's probably the person that was in his arms as he was being taken. She deserves to come."

Everyone's expressions fell, everyone falling silent for a moment. "Plus, none of you can see Haru, so you won't know if he's been rescued or not. I'm not leaving my best friend behind," Aiko said firmly.

No one could really argue with that, but Iida wasn't having it. "So you'll just risk your life for this?! What about everything that Haru told me that day?!" Iida snapped, referring to the day in the hospital after Hosu.

"That's why we're not going to fight," Kirishima stated, "It's an in-and-out mission."

Iida stared at him for a moment, considering the plan. "Fine. Then I'm coming. I know I can't stop you, but if I sense even the slightest hint that things will get violent, then we are going home," Iida demanded.

Haru hadn't moved an inch for the three days that they'd been there. However, he did develop a very low-energy communication system with Bakugo so they could communicate without Haru having to spend a ton of energy, simply by Bakugo asking a question and Haru tapping Bakugo's leg; once for yes, twice for no. At this exact moment, Bakugo was staring at the blood that had dried onto his arms and shirt. 'Stupid Ghost Face... let that crazy bitch hurt her...' he thought, angry at the idea that his best friend was hurt.

At the same time, Shigaraki had the news playing, which was annoying. Shigaraki was also going off about how hero society was unfair and other bullshit and that Bakugo should join them. Y'know, the works. Shigaraki then said, "Dabi, undo his restraints."

"What?" Dabi asked, "He's just going to fight back."

"He's our guest here, we should treat him as such," Shigaraki argued.

Dabi rolled his eyes, "Twice, you undo the boy's restraints."

"What about the spirit?" Mr. Compress asked.

"I mean what can a spirit really do? His only strength is when he's with the ghost girl," Spinner argued.

Shigaraki shrugged as Twice undid Bakugo's restraints. Bakugo stood up for a moment, muttering, "Can you fight?"

Haru tapped Bakugo's shoulder once. Bakugo smirked and hit Shigaraki in the face with an explosion. Haru then used his vines to restrain the people in the room, but Dabi was quick to burn right through the plants. Haru cursed and scratched Dabi's chest. Dabi quirked a brow, looking down at the blood that was now trickling through his shirt. "It seems your assumption was wrong, lizard," he remarked.
