'This is become unbearable...' The girl thought, the trickle of blood from her ears streaming down to frame her face, 'I can't keep this up for much longer. Who knew that adding people mid-hypnosis would be so straining?' She thought while tearing down the alley away from All Might. She was trying not to hear what he was thinking, she didn't want to know what his first impression of her was, so she just kept running. She could feel the threads of consciousness from the store peoples' minds slowly being released from her grasp due to the distance she was away from the crowd. When she could no longer bear the pain from the constant onslaught of old and new thoughts, she replaced one of her earplugs.

Turning the final corner, Aizawa ran face to face with the small figure he had seen before. They looked shaken, their clothes looked old, and their medical mask was now slightly tilted towards the left. He inspected the suspect, taking in every detail to insure that even if they managed to get away, he would be able to find them again. The bit that caught his attention the most were her unusual eyes. He took a mental note of the unusually pale, glassy blue that was peeking out from in-between the beanie and the mask. Along with the eye contact, he started up his quirk, to insure that he would not be fooled again by this kid. He then noticed that All Might had round the corner, effectively locking the suspect in-between them.
"Hey, kid. Don't put up a fight, okay?" He said agitated that he had to be called into action. The response he received was not one that he wanted.
The small figure suddenly turned and scaled the building to their right. Aizawa immediately turned down a small alleyway in persuit. He, however, did not seem to hear All Might's call.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Where are you going?!" All Might screamed towards Aizawa. He was now completely confused.
'Why did he suddenly run down the alley? The kid is still right here!' All Might stood still staring at the figure that hadn't moved.
"Did you cause him to do that? Are you controlling him or something?" He asked, the figure responded with a tiny nod.
'UGH why did this have to happen?!' The girl wailed internally, her mind becoming slightly hazy. 'I could've kept All Might under my influence, but then I wouldn't have been able to counter that quirk-cancellation from that other guy...It's a good thing I heard him coming, I was able to grab hold to his thread fairly quickly and make a duplicate of myself,' She sighed inwardly, 'Now I can't even fool All Might since I had used my quirk on him already today...Now what?' She thought frantic for an answer to her problems.
"You're bleeding." His voice broke through her thoughts. She shot her head up to look at her idol. He was focused on her with a serious face. The lack of a smile concerned her.
"Look, you're injured, and I don't want to use unnecessary force on you," All Might said, "Turn yourself in. You've only committed theft, and you look young, so the charges won't be too bad." He continued with a step forward, to which the girl responded with a step back.
Quickly glancing around at her surroundings, she saw something that made her smile. She found a way to escape. Quickly, she raised her hand towards a trashcan laying on its side, it rose into the air and she launched it at All Might. He easily blocked it, but she was already in the air, flying towards the clouds. All Might launched himself after her. She focused on her belt, mentally pulling it towards the sky as she seemingly flew towards the eastern part of town, well aware that she was only a couple feet from All Might. There was one thing that was different between the two of them, though. She could change direction mid-flight. He could not. She knew that once he propelled himself into the air, he could only travel in a parabolic form in the direction he jumped. She glanced back at his raising form.
'He'll soon reach the peak of his jump and have to descend.' She thought with a tiny smile. 'I can do this.' Just then she was aware of an obstacle that she had not counted on, and it was approaching fast. Both she and All Might whipped their heads to the side as the sound of rushing wind and the sight of a passenger plane intruded on their concentration.
'Shit' He cursed for the second time today, 'It's too close, I can't dodge it!' He yelled internally. Accepting his fate, he closed his eyes and prepared for impact. The impact was not one that he was expecting, though. The forceful pull on his shirt downward allowed him to slightly miss the oncoming plane, he casts a short glimpse at the thief he was following, their hands were outstretched in his direction, and a look of concentration and pain was evident on their face. They too had just missed the plane, and was floating in the air above him for a few seconds before their flight faltered, and they began plummeting towards the ground. He became especially worried when he noticed their eyes were closed and their body relaxed.
"HEY! KID!" All Might yelled towards the falling figure. "WAKE UP!"
The sound of rushing wind and distant yelling woke the girl. Remembering what she was doing she cursed herself for overusing her quirks. Now that she was plummeting towards the ground, she decided that the safest course of action would be to throw herself away from All Might and then conserve her remaining energy into catching herself before she hit the ground. With a final glance towards her idol, she then mentally grabbed onto her belt once more, and threw it as hard as she could away from a yelling All Might.
'Good, I'll land a good ten blocks away from him. That should give me enough time to get out of sight.' She would have smiled, if she had enough strength. Just before her body reached the ground, she caught her belt and with a final harsh tug, slowed her descent down enough that she fell to the ground with a slight thud. She picked herself up quickly, and crawled over to a dumpster by the side of the alley she had fallen into. She forced her way into the dirty, little container and sat quietly. She then took this as a good opportunity to replace her remaining earplug and in this tiny, dark, disgusting place, passed out from exhaustion.
