"Papillon," Tsuki said softly as the two crouched in an alley of one of the fake cities on the UA grounds.

Class 2A was running around, hoping to find and catch the five chosen students. The five students surprisingly not being chosen by All Might. In truth Aizawa had told All Might to stop using the four newer students as ways to compare the older students to the strength of a real villain. Aside from it getting old, it was plainly mean.

"So we just sit here...?" Tsuki said confused after Papillon explained the game in short.

"Kinda, yeah, or if you want to outrun them that's allowed too." Papillon crossed her arms and sat back, closing her eyes, "Imma be lazy today."

Just then someone jumped inside the alley. Papillon opened a single eye, looking annoyed as Tsuki jumped back on instinct. It wasn't someone on their team, which consisted of more than four for once, it was danger!

Someone wrapped Papillon in white scarf like material as Tsuki jumped away from that as well. If only Gyro or Arawaru were there to help her out!
It was just Tuski, against Hitoshi Shinso.

Papillon got comfortable.

And then Tsuki defeated Shinso with ease, ensuring Papillon wasn't defeated yet in the stupid game.

"Papillon," All Might said over a microphone, "Please participate."

Papillon sighed and got out of the scarf tiredly, kicking it away with her legs. She didn't want yet another fun detention. The last one ended with sweeping the floors of the kitchen after a whole lot of er... food fight. For some reason they still didn't prohibit the four students out of the kitchen, it was the third time they messed it up already.

Shinso, wrapped in his own scarf after Tsuki took it from Papillon, glared up at the two. "Seems nice, getting bonuses all around. I bet All Might gives you full scores after you don't even lifting a finger?"

Tsuki's awkward smile turned to Papillon, who shrugged. The insult was an attempt, but it was a bad attempt, and the two knew not to answer.

"So Papillon," Tsuki said carefully, glancing at Shinso to make sure she didn't get hypnotised somehow, "Any clue where we can best hide now?"

Papillon sighed tiredly. "How about we split up. You go try and distract them while I make sure to try and get the others from getting checked out of the game."

"Sure, sounds amazing!" Tsuki said, oblivious of the fact that Papillon just wanted her out of the way.

This left Papillon alone with the brainwashing idiot.

"This just proves it," Shinso said with a grim smile, "You're a real villain, just pushing her away like that."

Papillon glanced to the side. For a moment she opened her mouth, but then she closed it, turning away again.
The memory had popped up in her head though.
Don't push us away, we're your family.

"Oh shut up!" Papillon said suddenly as she glared at Shinso.

His sudden smirk foretold it, and then Papillon felt it. Her mind got fogged up. She took the step towards Shinso and like the voice ordered her softly, she crouched down and grabbed the bounds, ready to untie them.

A sudden hit on her face woke her up.
"Gah—" Papillon said in her sudden shock at the force to her cheek.
Bakugo Katsuki rushed passed her, going for Shinso, "Don't get tagged idiot!"

Papillon was confused for a second, but then realised they were just playing a game. She got up and looked around. Bakugo pulled the scarf over Shinso's mouth and looked around much more cautiously. He seemed to take it much more serious.
