Madam President read through files in her office with Hawks and Nagant, "The info we got from Ino reading Garaki's mind was invaluable. If we so desired we could replicate quirks now, although none would be ready for a couple months at least..."

Nagant replied, sitting in a spinning chair, "That's way too long. Besides, we'd need to get Sasuke on board with the idea since there's too much risk for normal people."

Hawks said, "I don't think he'd mind, but that's beside the point. Knowing Pain's real identity could help out a lot. I found out about a Yahiko from Jaku who went missing around the same time that the memory should have taken place. If it's really him then he should be about 35 right now."

Madam President asked, "How does his identity help out with facing him exactly? You don't intend on trying to find his old childhood friends, do you?"

Hawks nodded, "I do... it's a long shot, but considering he was brainwashed then maybe seeing his two old best friends could jog something in his memory."

Her eyes narrowed, "Pain doesn't even remember anything from that young of an age. Do you really think it's worth putting two people's lives at risk for the chance of Pain changing?"

Hawks side-eyed Nagant, "We don't plan on just letting them die if things go poorly, we have a plan already."

"You two talked about this among yourselves earlier then?"

Nagant answered, "We did. We'll keep them safe obviously, but I'd rather avoid fighting someone that gave All Might a good fight if I can help it."

Madam President sighed and rubbed her forehead, "Alright... you two have my permission... and what about that boy Midoriya? Is it not better to bring him back yet?"

Nagant pulled out her phone showing a dot moving on a map, "He's fine. He's been maintaining contact with All Might at least. If he ever gets in too much trouble or breaks contact with everyone, I'll know where he is at all times and can just go get him."

"That's relieving... even though a child has no business fighting out there alone... I suppose that he's more capable than almost any hero we have out there… especially since countries like America have made it clear that they won't offer any assistance…" She looked out the window, 'What could he be doing now?'

In a city, Shindo and a fellow student from Ketsubetsu looked around frantically inside the mist of a villain's quirk. His classmate Nakagame called out, "Shindo? Where are you?!"

"I don't know! I can't see in this mist. Follow the sound of my voice! If we can watch each other's backs, he can't get the jump on us!"

"Too late for that." A deep, raspy voice called out as a large blade rose above Shindo's head, but as it came down, the bandaged man was wrapped in black whips and pulled out of sight, causing the mist to dissipate.

Shindo blinked looking around, "What was that?"

Nakagame ran toward him. "Did you see where he went?"

"No... maybe he ran away?"

"Uh... sure let's go with that."

On top of a building, the man who Midoriya took out faded out of consciousness, "How did... you see me in the mist?"

Midoriya jumped off the building with him in the whip, "I could sense you." He dropped him off in front of the police and jumped away, 'The fourth has quieted down...' He picked up his phone, "All Might, I'm heading back.”

The rocky training grounds were filled with the 1A and 1B students, and Sasuke knocked Awase to the ground in pain while rubbing his knuckles. Kamakiri kneeled next to Awase and shot Sasuke a stern expression, "What are we supposed to be getting out of this? This is a waste of time!"
