Y/N strode confidently through the dimly lit streets, patrolling the area alone. She felt empowered, her shadow manipulation abilities wrapped around her like an unseen guardian. The thrill of embracing her powers filled her with determination, and the excitement of being a hero was invigorating.

"Tonight will be quiet," she murmured to herself, maintaining her awareness. "No danger will find me."

But as she turned a corner, her instincts screamed that something was wrong. Suddenly, the air shifted, and a figure emerged from the shadows—an intimidating villain known as Paralysis.

"Look what we have here," he snarled, his voice low and menacing. "A little shadow girl wandering alone. You're but an easy target."

Y/N steeled her resolve, summoning her shadows to her side. "I won't let you harm anyone," she declared, stepping forward with defiance.

"Brave words for someone about to be knocked out," he taunted, raising his hand in a swift motion. Suddenly, a wave of energy radiated toward her, and Y/N felt her body begin to freeze, the tingling sensation coursing through her limbs.

Before she could react, Paralysis closed in, striking her swiftly. Everything around her faded into darkness as she crumpled to the ground, unconscious.

Scene Transition:

When Y/N woke, disoriented and panicked, she found herself in an unfamiliar room. A cold sweat rushed over her as she realized she was handcuffed to a bed. Panic surged through her.

"Where am I?" she gasped, glancing around the dimly lit space. Shadows lingered in the corners, but they felt different—threatening.

"Welcome to my little hideout," a voice purred. Paralysis appeared in the doorway, his silhouette looming ominously. "You're in good hands. I just want to make it memorable for you."

Fear shot through Y/N as realization hit her. "Let me go!" she shouted, pulling against the handcuffs, but there was no escaping. The panic was overwhelming, and she cursed herself for being so reckless.

Paralysis stepped closer, the malicious grin on his face causing many emotions to spiral within her. "I have a very special plan for you, shadow girl. Just sit back and enjoy the ride!"

As he neared, Y/N took deep breaths, trying to gather her strength. She had faced down dangerous villains before, but this felt different. A chilling dread washed over her.

Scene Transition: Outside, with Bakugo and Shoto

Meanwhile, back at the agency, Shoto and Bakugo had been worried about Y/N's solo patrol. They weren't used to being separated, and her absence loomed heavy in the air.

"This isn't like her. She should have checked in by now," Shoto said, his brow furrowed in concern.

"You think she got caught up in something?" Bakugo replied, fists tightening at his sides. "We should go find her."

"Let's check the areas she might patrol," Shoto suggested, already turning toward the exit.

Just as they prepared to leave, they received an urgent call. "All units! We've received reports of a disturbance involving a villain in the old warehouse district. A hero is unaccounted for."

The gravity of the situation hit hard. "That has to be Y/N!" Shoto exclaimed, determination filling his voice. "We need to move now!"

Y/N was fighting to keep herself calm as she heard footsteps approaching. "Don't you dare touch me!" she shouted, her anger mingled with fear.
