Izuku went back into the party room to signal to All Might what we were doing, before returning to us. I will admit, I was flabbergasted when we were told that we had to take the stairs the whole way up.

    "Level thirty." Iida pointed out the giant red number on the side of the wall.

    "Wait, Melissa." Izuku turned around. "How high does it go?"

    "The 200th floor," she panted.

    "The what?!" Kaminari gasped.

If I was still in my hero costume, this wouldn't be as much as a problem. But these glitter heels are not doing me justice right now.

    "That's way too many stairs!" Mineta complained.

    "But it's still better than running into the villains," Momo reassured.

    I was growing more tired by the minute as we cleared floors 40 to 70. It didn't help when we came to a steel door in the middle of one of the stairways.

    "This route's blocked!" Iida pointed out.

    "What should we do?" Todoroki pondered. "Break through it?"

    "If we did that, I'm sure the security system would alert the villains that someone's in here," Melissa reminded us.

    "Then why don't we go through this door instead?" Mineta was behind us, putting his grubby little fingers on the door handle.

    "Mineta!"

    "No, don't!"

    The handle lit up, as the door opened.

    "You idiot!" I grumbled. "If they didn't know before then they definitely know we're here now."

    "How was I supposed to know?!"

    Ignoring the idiot grape boy's stupid question, we all began to run down the hallway.

    "Is there another way to go up?" Todoroki asked as we ran.

    "There should be another emergency staircase down at the other end of the hallway," the blonde answered.

    "Then let's hurry!"

    As Iida ran ahead of us, the security doors in the hallway began to close.

    "Well, there's no point in staying hidden anymore," I huffed. There was a door that we could go through not too far ahead.

"Todoroki!" The class rep shouted.

    "I'm on it!"

After the half and half boy froze the gate, preventing it from closing, Iida dashed through the opening, destroying the door with a kick.

"Everyone, quick, we can cross through here!"

"What is this place?" Izuku and the rest of us looked at the giant greenhouse in awe.

"It's a plant factory," Melissa explained. "They research the effects that quirks have on fauna here."

In front of us was an elevator. Noticing that the number on the screen on top was increasing, I held my arm out to stop my friends. "Stop! The elevator is coming up."

"Don't tell me the villains found us!" Mineta shrieked. You've got to be kidding me right now. What fucking rock is this idiot living under?!

"We should hide and let them pass," Izuku suggested.

"Bummer," I quietly mumbled. "I was looking forward to a fight."

We hid behind a bush, as the elevator continued to ascend to our level.
