Drowning. (Shoto Todoroki x OC)

Are You Eri?

Kirishima really shouldn't have put Tokoyami on speaker phone. He could see Todoroki's face go back to its cruel and cold form it had before the Sports Festival, before Mizuko changed his heart.

"Please tell me I heard that wrong..." Todoroki said in a long drawn out voice.

Kirishima was panicking. He knew what the real answer was but was scared of Todoroki's wrath.

Thankfully he was saved by the elevator dinging and the front door opening. The other members of the raid team: Midoriya, Uraraka, Tsu, and Aizawa were all there. They were planning on meeting with the Big 3 at the agency.

Aizawa saw Todoroki's cold demeanor and knew that Kirishima must've leaked about what happened to Mizuko to him.

"Kirishima. Please explain why he knows." Aizawa was scowling at his student.

Kirishima was waving his hands in the trying to defend himself. "Mr. Aizawa! I didn't say anything! He was waiting for Mizuko all night since they were supposed to have a date. I called Tokoyami to see what was going on and I had him on speakerphone...."

Todoroki then stepped forward with anger in every word, "So it's true then? She's alone with the yakuza?!"

Midoriya saw his fist curled up next to his face, about ready to punch someone. He put his hand on top of Todoroki's to bring it down.

Aizawa was short. "Yes. Now we don't have time to waste. We need to get going. Come on"

"I'm coming with you." Todoroki interjected as the group was trying to leave.

"Todoroki..." Uraraka said under her breath.

Aizawa stepped towards Todoroki. Both of them very angry, not at each other, but each at themselves for not protecting what was most precious to them, Shirakumo Mizuko.

"Todoroki. Last I checked, your own ego cost you a provisional hero license and almost hurt Mizuko. I can't afford a license less student getting in the way." Aizawa was cold in his words.

Todoroki grew even angrier. How dare he bring up when he accidentally almost hurt Mizuko. He was standing there now, willing to protect her, but was stopped by not having his license. Midoriya saw small flames flickering on his left side and was backing up as Todoroki was staring down Aizawa.

"Whether you want me to or not, I'm going to the Nighteye Agency. How do you expect me to sit here while I know the girl I love is with the yakuza?! Who knows if the League of Villains are even involved?!" Shoto yelled at his teacher.

Aizawa would love to yell right back at his student but Todoroki had a point. He couldn't sit back either knowing she was in danger. He also knew that Todoroki wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Todoroki. I get it. Just know if I allow you to come, you will not be allowed in combat. Rules are rules. You don't have a license. You will be at the agency with the police at all times. I can't allow you to mess up the plan that my reckless daughter set up... Mizuko found Eri."

The mood in room immediately changed. Uraraka and Tsu hugged each other in relief. Midoriya had the widest smile knowing that Mizuko was okay and she found Eri. Todoroki didn't understand what finding Eri meant. He would have to ask Kirishima to catch him up to speed. Todoroki extinguished his small flames knowing that there seemed to already be a plan in place.

"Wait Mizu-chan found Eri?! But how she can communicate with you? I thought the villain threw her cell phone." Midoriya questioned.

"Midoriya, Mr. Aizawa will probably have an explanation at the Nighteye agency. We will waste time explaining it more than once. Now let's go!" Tsu yelled.
