Spinner was a reasonably chill guy, most of the time that is. He knew how important it is to keep a clear head in the game, because any misstep might cost them more than anything could. Still though, everyone would be right to assume that he got excited very easily, since he's just that energetic.

Now was certainly such a timing.

"Oh. My. Gee!" Squealed the lizard, as if he were some schoolgirl at an anime convention. "It's Izuku! The Izuku Midoriya, or Mikumo Akatani! He's the one that Stain recognised as a true Hero!"

"He's on our capture list," says Magne, and everyone stares at her in shock.

" 'Capture list'? What the hell does that mean?" Scowled Katsumi.

"Exactly what we mean," says Dabi, flaring up his 'Quirk' again. "We're to secure him and take him back to our base. We've got some business to talk about with him."

No one needs to know that the way he enunciated those words did not sound friendly at all. And that alone is enough to incite worry in a lot of them.

"Heh, I'll handle him!" Shouted Magne as she rushed at the boy.

That was just about the biggest mistake she ever made. Before even a single foot could take a step forwards, she wasn't able to brace herself in time to receive a powerful blow to her jaw, enough to cause a burst of air around them as she was sent flying towards the treeline. Izuku clenched his fist, gritting his teeth.

"I'll handle Muscular!" He shouted, aiming an «Air Burst» straight at Dabi, enough to send him flying back. "Take care of the rest!"

"Got it!" Hollered his classmates as he flared up his 'Quirk' and rocketed towards the hill, towards somewhere that no one was sure of, but were certain that he did so with good reason.

"There he goes... He'd better not get himself into trouble or anything," huffed Katsumi, before popping some explosions in her hands. "Well, we've got our own fights to handle. Let's get to it, scar-face!"

"We need to get out of here..!" Shouted Tetsutetsu as he covered both his nose and mouth, trying to see through the smoke. "Damn, where the hell is the Villain..?! It's bad enough that we can't breathe in the gas, or we'll faint..!"

Such was true that he was dragging with him a fainted Manga. And God, looks can be deceiving because it was either he himself was weak, or the fainted boy was heavy. And Tetsutetsu's made of steel!

"I can handle it," says Setsuna, her nose safely dislodged and out of the range of the poisonous gas. "But man... It's hard to look around."

"Right. We'll find this Villain, and take him out," nodded Shoji, who didn't have to worry since his nose and mouth was masked, and he didn't create his nose with his arms. "Come on, let's take him out."

Nodding, the two crept around, trying to find the eye of the storm. The draft of the wind made it hard to find the source, but they could make out small taps on the ground, silent footsteps.

It didn't take long to pinpoint the Villain's location, and with a nod to one another, the two are ready to do what they must.

They leapt.

"So, he's here..."
"Yeah. He's in the forest."

How many times have they cleansed her? How many times have they erased her mind? How many times did he have to watch the process?

Too many times, Tomura concluded. They've done it too many times, even in missions when she had no such need to directly engage with him. She enters random breakdowns, and every time, they have to repeat the rehabilitation process just because not doing so is only going to make it worse for them in the future.
