"So, let me get this straight." Mina broke the awkward silence that filled the hospital room. "You're going to get Momo to make you another receiver, track a bad guy, and then try to save Bakugo all by yourselves?"

    Kirishima nodded. "Yeah."

    "The villains who attacked the camp planned to kill some of us," Todoroki added. "But they took Bakugo alive. What we don't know is how long they'll let him live. That's why we're going after them."

    What part of the 'pros are handling it' do they not understand?!

    It seemed that Iida felt the same as me. "Have the two of you lost your minds?!"

    "Hey." Shoji stood in between of the soon to be cat fight. "Calm down. I get how frustrated Kirishima is. And how Todoroki feels since he couldn't grab Bakugo. I'm upset, too. But... We can't let our emotions get the best of us. Right?"

    "Um," Aoyama nervously huffed. "We should just leave this to All Might. Mr. Aizawa only gave us permission to fight and use quirks at the training camp."

    "He's right," I agreed. "There's no reason to be throwing your lives away like this."

    "You guys!" Kirishima grimaced.

    "Listen," Tsu frowned. "We're all shocked that Bakugo was taken from us. But we have to be rational. It doesn't matter how noble your intentions. If you go out there trying to find the bad guys, knowing you're breaking the rules, then you're acting like villains, not heroes."

    "I'm sorry, Tsu, but I can't be rational at a time like this." Katsumi balled up her fists before storming out.

    She had every right to be upset. Her boyfriend was taken from her right in front of her eyes, from what I heard.

    Just as I was about to follow her, there was a knock on the door.

    A doctor opened the door. "Sorry for interrupting you guys, but I need a moment alone with Midoriya."

    "Sure, let's bolt," Sero suggested. "I wanna see how Jiro and Hagakure are doin'."

    "Good idea," Ojiro grinned.

    "Feel better, Izuku." I flashed him a sincere smile, before I left the room.

    "Thank you for visiting me."

    Now, I need to find Katsumi.

She was sitting on a bench in the waiting room, hugging her knees to her chest.

    Sitting down next to her, I pulled her into a hug. "I know this is the last thing you want to hear now, but it's a stupid idea to go after him. The Commission told me that the heroes are conducting a raid where Momo's tracker is and at another location. If you go, then you will get caught."

    "You're going, aren't you," the white-haired girl sniffled. "As Lady Hecate, that is. Sometimes, I wish I could go on missions like you do. Maybe I'd be stronger than."

    "I wouldn't wish my job upon anyone else," I admitted. "The training was hell. I couldn't even attend a normal school until junior high. Sometimes, I just wish that I had never signed my life away to that woman. It's better to be free and make your own decisions." Standing up from my chair, I stood in front of my friend. "If you go, I won't stop you. Just please... don't get yourselves killed."

    "Haha." She picked up her head, as tears exited from her eyes. "You can count on me."
