"Father, why can't I go anywhere? I told you I'm already back to full strength." Midoriya complained, making his annoyance clear. Since he woke up, nearly two weeks ago, it's been nothing but rest and traing to test his power, nothing too serious when his father was around though. He ran off quite often to the training room just to hit the practice dummies.

"Take your medication Izuku," his father held out two yellow pills and a glass of water. When Midoriya took them from his hands, he smiled and sat back in the leather chair. "I'm only being cautious," he said. "There may still be some side affects and I don't want you getting hurt again."

"But father,.." he whined after downing the medication. "I want to go out with Tomura and everyone else. You know I'm strong enough, I can help!"

He thought for a moment, hand on his chin. He definately did not want to send him out, not yet at least. There was a possibility that the medication had not fully kicked in yet and he didn't want to take the chance. Midoriya was on their side, sure, but if he sees someone from his past before the medicine can do its job, everything could come crumbling down.

"I said no." He said firmly as he stood up and left the room.

Midoriya slumped in his chair and huffed. He was frustrated and bored out of his mind, but he could only see his father trying to protect him. He knows this place as his home, the villains here as his family, and he's one of them. He trusts them.

He jumped out of his seat moments later and headed down the hall and knocked on a door. "Dabi," he called out, hoping they had not left yet.

The door opened a second later to reveal the tall male wearing a white t-shirt and black pants. "Hey, kid." he let him into the room as he headed to get his jacket. "What're you doing here?"

"Can I pleeaasseee go with you today?" He begged, clasping his hands together and looking at him with puppy dog eyes.

Dabi looked at him with a raised eyebrow, "what'd your old man say?"

Midoriya huffed, his shoulders immediately falling. "No,.. Of course," he admitted, looking to the side.

Dabi shook his head, a smirk on his face. "Then why are you asking me? He'll kill me if I let you come."

"Ugh, fine.." He huffed, giving up. "I'll just go and sulk in my room.." he sighed dramatically. "All alone. In my room. Nothing to do," he started towards the door.

"I see what you're doing kid," he smirked. "That's not gonna work on me, now go be bored." He followed him and shut the door on their way out. Midoriya groaned again, upset that his little trick didn't work.

"Fine, see ya' later," he sighed, heading across the hall to his own room.

Dabi ruffled his hair in a brotherly manner before heading down the hall, "see ya'."

Midoriya spent the next few hours in a quiet. He drew in a sketchbook he had found in the desk and sat by the window. He watched the wind blow through the trees until he just couldn't take it anymore.

Crashing into his pillow, he groaned. He wanted to talk more with his father. He wanted to explain that his memories were back, he could walk and fight fine, his head hasn't hurt in days. He wanted his chance to tell him all of that, then he wanted his chance to get revenge.

Through the past two weeks, from the moment he found out what happened to him, he hasn't forgotten that he needed payback. Anytime he thought about it, his blood boiled and he gritted his teeth until his jaw hurt. Many times, he would find himself running off to the training room just to let out some steam but that was quickly becoming less helpful. He needed more. More than just punching and kicking dummies until they broke, making his father get onto him.

He really did feel fine, better than fine even. When he was letting out his anger, he could only feel himself getting stronger, no pain or feeling of trauma resided deep inside him.

Right now, though he felt possibly more frustrated than ever, he didn't bother going to the training room; he knew that it wouldn't satisfy him. He couldn't figure out why, for the first few days nearly destroying the training equipment helped calm his urges, but after just a week, he was punching and kicking the stuff in half and he wanted more. Dabi, Toga and a few of the others even began to spar with him and that helped more but they were currently running around causing god knows how much panic.

"Three weeks, Mitsuki! Three!" Inko sat in Bakugou's home, crying her eyes out once again as the blonde rubbed her hand in circles on her back, trying to calm her. "I'm going to drive myself insane.. The police said they've probably killed him or they're torturing him for information or turning him to work for them!"

"Shhh..." Mitsuki hushed. "It will be okay.. Your boy is strong, and just like my Katsuki, he'll never turn against his friends and family.." Her voice was calm, but it was all a front to protect her friend. When Katsuki was kidnapped, she had been terrified until he was taken from that situation, mother to mother, she knows exactly how Inko is feeling. And she is trying her hardest to help her through it, to stay strong and be the voice of hope for her.

"I know he wouldn't.." she sobbed quietly. "But they're planning something.. and Mitsuki.. I'm so terrified. They needed him for something and no-one knows what it is, he- he could be... He could be in so much pain right now and I can't protect him." She swiped at the tears marking her face once again as she thought about what she just said. Her own words echoed over and over: he could be in so much pain. I can't protect him. He could be in so much pain. I can't protect him. Those words had been burned into her skull from the moment she found out what happened.

Mitsuki was speechless. She couldn't counter that, what could she say to make her feel better? There was nothing. Her tears began to flow as she watched Inko's shoulders rise and fall with each uneaven breath. "I know.." was all she could say, barely in a whisper.

It's been half a month. The school and the police reviewed the only evidence of his kidnapping: the dormitories security cameras. There's no clues as to where he was taken due to Kurogiri's quirk. The trail had been cold from the start and everyone else had given up, though they still tell Inko that they're trying, that didn't stop her from watching the tape over and over.

It broke her heart to watch it, but she still had a small bit of hope that she might find a clue. She had the thing practically memorized at this point. He was just sitting on his bed, studying for an for an upcoming test when the purple smoke filled the area. He imediately jumped into action as he saw Dabi and Twice walk into the room. They faught for only a moment before Dabi landed a solid hit to his head, knocking him out before anyone was alerted of their presence and then they were gone.

Deep down, she knew there was nothing more to the video but she would be damned if she let herself admit that. She just couldn't accept that he was out of reach, that there was even a possibility that she would never see him again, never be able to hold him in her arms again. The thought, was horrifying, so, she pushed it down, she denied with all her might, and she searched.

Since the league moved locations, rejoined All for One, finding their new base was all that had to be done, though that's practically impossible with the total of zero leads so far.
