"You're quite the actor." Tomura says as I enter our home.

"I'm surprised at how well I was able to lie, myself." I reply as I walk towards the bar area.

"You were being pretty chummy with some of the students though." He mumbles as he takes a sip of whatever orange drink Kurogiri made him.

"It's better that way. They don't suspect a thing." I state as I sit down on a barstool. "Can I have some apple juice please?" I ask and Kurogiri nods.

"We have a plan. The day after tomorrow, you will be going to USJ, also known as Unexpected Stimulation Joint. At USJ, Eraser-Head, Thirteen, and All Might will train your class in rescue training. You are to blend in with your class until Kurogiri's warp gates appear. Along with us two, several villains will accompany us and will occupy the students while Nomu and I take care of All Might. Everyone will be separated into different areas of USJ, so when we use warp gate on them, you will be warped away from authorities. You will then be fighting on our side. The rest of the villains know not to attack you and you will be keeping the students busy." Tomura explains.

I nod my head. "Finally, I can stop this dumb charade." I felt in my heart that something was off. 'I should be happy to leave those disgusting wannabes.'

"That boy is awfully familiar." Tomura says, changing the topic. "The one with the spiky blond hair, isn't he in the picture on your bedside table?"

"That's what I thought, but it's highly unlikely for us to meet after all this time." I respond. "He does look like him and share the same last name, though."

"Would you like me to do a background check?" Kurogiri asks as he hands me my juice.

"Yes." Tomura says. "I'd like some information on all of them if possible."

"I'll do it." I state as I get up. "I don't want to do homework anyways."

"Rei, you can't just not do your homework." Kurogiri nags.

"I'll do it later or something." I say as I head downstairs to the living room where the computer is.
I sit down at the table and log in, putting in my password- which is ironically, the birthday of the boy I'm researching.
I then open up google and try searching for everything I can about my classmates (though I was mostly curious about Bakugou).

——-
'No way.' I think to myself. I had managed to dig through UA's student records undetected.

"Bakugou Katsuki-
Date of birth: April, 20
Blood type: A
Quirk: Explosion
Phone: 129-394-4903 (not actual number)
Email: mitsuki.bakugou@jmail.com
Click to see student records."

'He has the same birthday as Katsu-chan? Don't tell me he is Katsu-chan. Even the name lines up.' I feel my heartbeat pick up. 'What do I do if it is him?! Should I tell him? "Hey, I'm your childhood best friend that went missing for ten years and now I'm here!"' I click on his student records.

"Bakugou Katsuki- Student records
Kindergarten: Aldera kindergarten
Primary: Aldera Primary Educations
Secondary: Aldera Middleschool
High school: UA Academy"

The quirk is the same, the name is the same, the birthday is the same, even the school's are the same! 'Wait, do they even have information on me?' I quickly search up my name.
"Tamiko Rei-
Date of birth: January 1
Blood type: AB
Quirk: Magnetism
Phone: 129-374-2947
Email:_________

"Tamiko Rei- Student Records

Primary: N/A
Secondary: N/A
High school: UA Academy"

'Wait, how do they know the bar's phone number?' I think to myself. I quickly open up the system settings and delete the phone number. Pleased with my work, I close the tab about me and return on reading about Bakugou.
I type in "Aldera Kindergarten" into the search bar. I go to the website and click on the class of the year Katsu-chan and I were in.
I click on the images link and a whole gallery full of pictures of small kids appears. I scroll through and a picture of me and Katsu-chan in the teal uniform playing with legos pops up. I take a look at the class enrolment and see only one Bakugou Katsuki in that year.

'The chances of Bakugou being Katsu-chan is very high now.' I feel myself start to sweat. 'I don't want to put them in danger anymore. Not just Bakugou, but Ochako, Midoriya, Shoto...' I stand up and shut down the computer. I hadn't noticed how late it had gotten until I looked at the clock; 12:50 AM.

I head to my room and get ready for bed even though I know I won't be able to sleep tonight. The pit in my stomach only got bigger as I thought of how I should tell Bakugou or if I should even tell him at all. 'I know, I'll drop little hints. He's smart enough, he'll pick up on them.' I conclude. 'That's one problem solved, but what do I do about my friends.' Oh boy, it felt weird to think that word. 'I don't want to leave them, but once they find out about who I really am, will they even want to be my friend?' The thought brings a frown on my face. 'If I abandon Tomura and the league, they might kill me or bring me to father. If I go with the plan, I'll still be with the league, but everyone at UA will hate me. That doesn't sound too bad, but it makes me feel tight in the chest.'

"Can't you do anything by yourself?! You're just some useless bitch! Just cooperate with me so I can pay off my debt!" He brought a hand down on my face. I stumbled back from the force of the slap. "Can't think of anything for yourself, can't solve your own problems, can't do anything! The only thing you will ever be is a weapon- a tool! So, stop being a brat and just accept your fate! You have no choice. You only hurt yourself and the people around you either way, so just come with me!" 

I sigh. My dad was right. I'm always stuck between a rock and a hard place and always require help from others, but this time...this time there's nobody to help me. I have to decide things on my own.
