Chapter Three: Hold On, Just A Little Longer

(Aizawa POV the next morning 3rd person)
   
Soft rustling beside him is what eventually woke him up. As he rolled over to see who or what woke him he was met face to face with a familiar blonde hero. A soft smile graced his lips as he reached up to touch the loudmouth man. The slightest movement caused pain to rickochet through his hand. Then it all came crashing back, the events of last night, what he had done. "Shota?" the voice was soft, and quiet unlike its usual tone.
   
"It's alright Zashi, just remembered what happened," he pet the blonde sinking into the warm touch he gave. 'Stay alive you two, we're going to save you I swear,'

As his head lulled back he was met with immediate pain, no part of his body was free of the pain coursing through him. While trying to gain some semblance of control he noticed the wave of nausea pulling at him. 'Great I definitely have internal injuries. Wouldn't surprise me if I was bleeding internally. I know I'm bleeding externally,' finally he opened his eyes looking next to him. As he hoped he saw Midoriya kneeling beside him staring back.

"Good you're awake. It's been at least twelve hours since they took the video, that means either they left us here to die. Or will come back. If they left us then they surely think that they've done enough damage that we're long dead by now. If they do return the options are they suspect we're alive and will kill us, or torture us more. Or they plan to dump us somewhere," Kirihsima listened to his explanation it seemed logical, and if nothing else Midoriya was logical. At this point he had no ideas but he wanted to tell Midoriya that he did agree. As he opened his mouth his neck burned sending a new surge of pain through him. "Kirishima don't talk!" on command Kirishima shut his mouth looking at Midoriya with worry. "Dabi burned your neck. If you move or try to speak you'll only injure yourself more. So please don't try to speak," the redhead aimed to nod but figured that would hurt too. So he opted to look Midoriya in the eyes hoping the look he gave would get through to him. It did, Midoriya let out a small smile exhaling the breath he was holding in.

'Now what? Please Midoriya tell me you have a plan,' his eyes were trained on his green haired friend unknowingly giving him a scared look.

"Don't worry Kirishima, I have a plan," it was the spiky haired teens turn to exhale and he did. "We will wait till morning, if they don't return by then, it'll be clear that they left us. Then we will make an escape. Can you hold out till then? Blink twice for yes and once for no," the answer to his question was unclear to Kirishima, but he was damn sure that he was going to try and survive till morning, so he blinked twice. "Good, and if they do return we can play dead. It might be hard for you but if you take shallow slow breaths they won't notice you're breathing at all, if they think we're dead they may move us elsewhere, or leave us here to rot. Either way we're getting out of this. Do you think you can breath like that, slow and shallow?" Again the red blinked twice he was surely going to try his best to get out of here.

'Good he blinked twice to both questions. That means he was going to give it his all to get out. Now all I have to do is find a way out of these chains. My right wrist is definitely broken so I can slip my wrist out of it with effort. From what's left of my uniform the clasp on my coat is intact I can pick the lock with the small piece of metal and then get Kirishima free. That's easy right?'

12 hours after the video, and probably the longest 12 hours of his life. Classes were canceled, of course, why would they have classes after yesterday's events. Long before the sun had risen he was at the police station with Hizashi. "Sho, you don't have to do this,"

"I know Zashi, but I have to. My students need me," Aizawa hoped he would understand. He felt a warm hand wrapped around his and squeezed.

"I understand. I just wanted you to know that you had an out if you so choose," Aizawa nodded and both of them stepped into the police station joining the rest of the U.A. staff.
