"Eraser Head." You grabbed his shoulder, forcing him to spin around to face you. The shakiness in your voice only adding more anxiety onto your teacher as he sent you a questioning look. You intertwined your fingers with one another, popping and stretching them to ease your nerves. "I can't go in there. Chisaki knows. He knows I'm actually working for you guys and Eri will die if I go in there."

You spoke so fast that it took Aizawa a moment to process your words. Had you stumped thee Eraser Head? The wires in his brain started to untangle, piecing together your sentence.

"How do you know this?" Aizawa finally asked, silently debating if you were pulling a prank on him or if you had the flu. He almost thought you were hallucinating or on some serious drugs.

"I'll explain it all later, but we have to go now. We need to attack all at once—taking them by surprise." You pounded your fist into your palm, really emphasizing the importance of your warning. Aizawa looked at you concerned, he didn't know if he should believe you or not, but given your usually honest demeanor, he decided it was wise to trust you. You held your hands out, as if you were holding an invisible box, "I know I sound crazy, but I'm being serious."

Aizawa simply nodded, pacing to Sir Nighteye. It was unlike Aizawa, but he interrupted Bubble Girl and Nighteye's conversation, telling him of the news he received from you. You watched as he gestured toward your stance; Sir Nighteye eyed you suspiciously, causing your gaze to avert to the people beside him.

Endeavor angrily stood, staring at all the other Pro Heroes socializing around him. You weren't sure if his brows could furrow anymore, but once his eyes landed on your frame, his frown dropped even lower. Endeavor seemed almost displeased to see you—as if you already failed the mission. He began walking towards you until Sir Nighteye shouted for everyone's attention.

"Attention everyone! Plans have changed. We're attacking straight on, no hesitation and give it your all. The goal is to save Eri—we'll be lucky to nab Chisaki while we're at it. We're moving out now!" With his conclusion, he lead the team through the exit of his agency, marching through the streets to Chisaki's hideout.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Police aligned themselves outside the large gate, using plastic shields to hide behind. The Pro Heroes readied themselves abaft them, stretching their limbs and holding their fighting stance. Endeavor looked especially on edge for some unknown reason. You and the work study students followed within the crowd, sticking together.

You began to wonder if Chisaki was curious of your whereabouts. You didn't tell him you weren't meeting him like he asked you to—since you already knew what was going to happen. Did that wreck his plans by any means?
