A few days passed, and Shota hadn't seen or heard from Sumire in two days. Granted, she never actually texted him and one of the days was a weekend, but when she didn't show up for work and no one heard anything from her, he became concerned. Around every corner he was expecting to see her, and when he didn't he grew more worried.

Then he saw the pro hero Sir Nighteye's sidekick Bubble Girl in Principal Nezu's office, seeming to discuss something serious with him. She had no reason for being there, and no reason to have any affiliation with U.A.'s principal, except for their recent organized unit with Shota and a few of the students, as well as several other professional heroes and sidekicks, to rescue the child, Eri, from the Shie Hassaikai and arrest their leader Overhaul. These villains had formed a gang-like system and took advantage of a helpless little girl to create a quirk-erasing drug. Not to mention, Overhaul had made a name for himself as a powerful and dangerous man.

The girl bowed before Principal Nezu apologetically then left, a solemn look in her eyes.

"Hey, Bubble Girl." Shota called out bluntly, demanding her attention.

"Eraser Head." The blue-skinned girl stopped and acknowledged him.

"What were you speaking to the Principal about?" He asked, though his tone made it seem like a order.

"That's classified information. I cannot share that with you." She answered matter-of-factly.

"Does it have to do with the Shie Hassaikai?"

"It does not concern you, Eraser Head."

"If it has to do with our operation, then yes, it does."

"Please, just cooperate and continue with your role." Bubble Girl quickly walked away, not wanting to answer any more of the man's questions.

Shota clicked his tongue bitterly, unsatisfied with the lack of answers or clarity of where Sumire was. Quite frankly, it pissed him off.

Three days ago

Just before Sumire was about to pack up for the evening and return to her apartment, she found the intimidating Sir Nighteye and his sidekick waiting for her at her office. While she never met him before, once he introduced himself, she recognized his name and former title as All Might's sidekick.

"Phantomess, I understand your quirk is helpful when it comes to stealth missions, correct?" He suggested in a quizzical tone.

"Correct." She agreed, poised and respectful as it seemed like it was the time and company for proper behavior.

"We are in need of your assistance." He began, taking a seat and folding his long fingers in front of his mouth. "There are several pro heroes and sidekicks teaming up with the Police Force for a very important mission. Are you familiar with the Shie Hassaikai group?"

"I've heard a bit here and there."

"We have intel that they are manufacturing a quirk-erasing drug using the quirk of a little girl named Eri. We are organizing a raid on their compound, and we've just determined what we believe to be their location. We would like you to undergo a secret assignment to explore this compound, confirm that we have the correct location, and find Eri's position so that we can go in and save her." Sir Nighteye stared directly at her sternly. "This is a dangerous yakuza organization and could be extremely dangerous if you were to be caught. Is this a risk you are willing to take?"

Sumire nodded with a tough expression. "When do you need me?"

"Tonight. Two a.m., meet us at this location." He instructed as Bubble Girl slid a map across the silver-haired woman's desk. "We don't have a warrant, yet, but with your help we should be able to acquire one in no time and guarantee a certain victory for our side."
