Trouble (SeroDeku)

Chapter 11

"We're doing this oldest to youngest? Seriously?" Izuku drawled as the second-oldest Sero sister clung to his side. Unlike Hana, Haru remembered him perfectly and didn't hold a grudge like Akira. She recognized Izuku as her lifeboat and wasn't letting go anytime soon. 

Shigaraki's nails dug into his neck in irritation at the remark. "You think I have any idea how old these brats are?" 

"You're stupid, but not that stupid," Izuku spat, tightening his hold on Haru when she jumped at his words. "Whatever, I'll be in touch." 

He turned to start out of the room, his main focus set on getting Haru home. He made it two steps before Chisaki spoke. 

"And if we need you now?" The words were spoken with an air of superiority that made Izuku's jaw tick. In what world did Chisaki think he could take that tone with him? 

"Too bad, you can have me tomorrow," Izuku countered, resuming his movements toward the door. 

"Bad dog," Shigaraki called out, a twisted sort of glee in his voice. "When we say fetch, you drop everything and go." 

Izuku's free hand moved to his face, pressing the heel into his right eye. He whirled around, keeping Haru behind him. "I'm busy." 

"You have half an hour," Chisaki corrected with a wave of his hand, dismissing Izuku like a common grunt. "Use it wisely." 

Izuku was worried his teeth were going to start chipping from how hard his jaw was clenched. He didn't say another word before leaving the room, now on a time crunch. He had to get Haru to Hanta before he was summoned again. 

"Izuku, where are we going?" Haru asked in a whisper as the villain led her through the halls of the compound. 

Izuku couldn't help but be impressed at the way the girl's voice wasn't shaking. He shouldn't have been surprised, Haru was in her last year of hero school, she needed to know how to keep a clear head in that type of situation. 

"We're going to find your brother," Izuku answered in a hushed tone, keeping a careful eye on the other people they passed in the winding halls. "I'll drop you off with him and then do whatever fucking errand they demand of me to get your sisters back." 

"What about mom?" Haru asked in a noticeably softer voice. 

Izuku shook his head, pushing through a side door and exiting into a back alley. He felt better now that they were out of the building. "Shigaraki will keep her for last." 

"Why?" she asked, sounding appalled. 

"Why does it matter? Would you rather him hold onto Hina?" Izuku asked, needing the hero in training to act just a little more like it. The youngest members of the family are their priority, never mind the fact that they all knew Aya would give up her life for any of her kids. She wouldn't have been able to live with herself if she was released first. 

"I- no, of course not," the girl said, looking at at the ground below them. Izuku thought she looked ashamed, but that was above his pay grade. All he had to now was get her to Hanta. 

"C'mon," he said, pulling her by the wrist in the direction of Hanta's agency. After the scene he had just caused, he had good reason to believe that Aizawa would have all of his subordinates gathered at the agency for some kind of meeting. Which reminded him... he needed to give the hero back his quirk anyway, might as well kill two birds with one stone. 

It didn't take long to arrive, only about fifteen minutes. Of course, that time was only possible because he got annoyed and put Haru on his back, using One For All to propel them through the city.
