Deku sat on his bed, wrapped up in their blankets that Todoroki had brought him. His eyes were glued to the TV, to the news.

 "Heroes have been called to a mall were people had reported sightings of the ex-UA student turned villain, Shouto Todoroki. When the heroes arrived, the mall was on fire, most of the over two hundred people who had been inside were found dead." The reported had a solemn look on her face as photos of the mall appeared on screen. The bodies had been removed but blood and burns marks still covered the floors as well as the rubble of fallen walls and roofs.

 "When the heroes arrived, they were attacked by Shouto Todoroki and Satomi Itou, who used to work as head of security at UA. During the attack, four heroes were seriously injured, including Eraserhead, homeroom teacher of class 1a, as well as Snipe and Present Mic. Seven other heroes were killed." They reporter's face went white as the read the next words. She looked near tears.

 "One of these heroes was the number two hero, Hawks."

Deku felt sick. Shouto, his Shouto, was responsible for the death of Hawks. He shook his head. It must have been Nine. It was all her fault, she was controlling Shouto. He wouldn't do any of this otherwise.

She had to be.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The death of the number two hero hit the world pretty hard. Nobody had been ready for it. Tokoyami had interned with him and seemed to be taking it worse that the rest. He spent more time in his room, it that were possible. What he was doing in there was unclear but sometimes they could hear Dark Shadow screeching as the poor bird-headed boy tried to get him under control.

Nine watched all of this through the cameras. They still hadn't figured out that they had access to them but the microphones had been removed so the principal clearly had his suspicions. For now they had to be careful, it they revealed their access to the cameras too soon then they would loose them and all chance of regaining them again.

The league was gathered together to celebrate Todoroki's proper debut as a villain. Nine thought it was just an excuse to drink again, since Nine of them seemed to remember what happened last time.

Shigaraki had the same attitude as Nine and Touya seemed reluctant to join in as Toga was in change of drinks. Todoroki didn't seen to care too much. He was dancing to whatever awful songs Spinner out on. Mr Compress appeared to be doing some sort of magic trick for Twice who's split personality appeared to be better when he was drunk as then both of his personalities were raving lunatics with no self control and no filters over what they said.

 "Wa da hell? 'at's bullshi." He slurred as Mr Compress dropped a pack of cards onto the floor.

Nine sighed, standing up and walking over to Todoroki, dragging Touya along by his shirt. Nine grabbed a glass from Toga, gulping it down. It burned her throat but she just grabbed another one. Touya watched her, eyebrows raised, as she grabbed a third and offered it to him. He sighed and took the glass from her, setting it down in the table.

Deku listened to the music, tears running down his face, knowing that, it he waited for the right moment, he may be able to escape.
