Midori the Villain

Villain vs. Villain

Izumi scanned the blueprints thoroughly. Each team was given fifteen minutes to formulate a plan and prepare for the infiltration. From a logical standpoint she and Uraraka were meant to be at a disadvantage. However, Izumi didn't quite see it that way.

"I think we can eliminate these three floors in terms of where the weapon is being stored." Izumi told Uraraka tapping the levels on each.

"Hmm? Why?"

"It's not smart to keep the weapon on the first floor. The door is open which means a pedestrian could just wander in and find it by accident and it would cause unwanted attention if they'd have to dispose of someone like that. The second floor window has been left open, an obvious place for us to infiltrate without immediately being detected so it doesn't make sense for it to be there. As for the third floor the layout is too cluttered, all these small rooms and tight corners don't give much room for escape or combat."

"Oh I see..." Ochaco leaned over her shoulder hanging on Izumi's every word.

"If I had to bet money, i'd say it's on the very top floor. The fourth and fifth floors both have wide open floor plans, but the fifth has immediate access to the roof allowing for an escape route. Also..." Izumi thought of the Penthouse suite on the very top floor. She recalled her sensei looking out at the city as if he stood above it all. "Villains like being on top."

"That does make sense... so what's our plan?"

"The best plan for Kacchan and Iida is to have Kacchan guard the weapon while Iida scouts out to find us. Iida is faster and has more mobility. In terms of quirk use it'll be difficult for me to use mine against him as I have to lock onto a target before I can surround it in my energy." She held out her hand flexing it. "However, considering their personalities... I think they're gonna do the exact opposite."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Kacchan is smart, but he hates staying in one place for a long period of time. He's impatient, and prefers handling things himself instead of leaving it to others. Plus he and I have history and we both carry a bit of a grudge. He's gonna wanna face me head on." She smirks at Ochaco. "To be honest so do I."

"A battle of the sexes?" Ochaco bounced her eyebrows and made her laugh. "Well I'm with you, Midori-chan!"

Izumi smiled and she slapped palms with Uraraka in a high five. When the buzzer sounded Izumi stepped up to the building her eyes focusing. "Use your quirk to lighten our weight."

"Okay? Are we floating up to the open window?"

"Nope..." once she felt her body lighten Izumi surrounded Ochaco in her quirk lifting her up to the roof and then herself. "If I'm right, the weapon is right below us." She walked to the roof door and pulled out one of her projectile disks. She slid it up against the lock and used her quirk around the door handle to jiggle it from the other side. When the lock sprung open Izumi heard a little "bingo" inside her head. "Why waste time sneaking up flights of stairs?"

"So cool!" Ochaco squealed in a hushed tone. Izumi motioned for her to be quiet and the two of them quietly walked down the roof access. There was a long dark hallway, but light came from an entryway and Izumi slowly worked her way over to peek in. She smirked and turned to her partner jerking her thumb inside.

"What did I tell yah?" she whispered and Ochaco had to cover her mouth to hold in her squee of excitement. She peeked around, her eyes scanning for Bakugo.

"It's only Iida inside."

"That won't last long if we raise Iida's alarm." she tapped the intercom in her ear. "He could contact Kacchan rather quick then it'll be a two on two fight."
