Bakugo POV

I shot up and it was daytime again. It didn't even take me a minute to figure out where I was. I looked over at the clock to see it was 11:00am as I was about to get up and leave someone walked in. "Oh no you don't Bakugo, we need to talk" it was Eraserhead, I rubbed my eyes and continued to sit on the bed in the recovery room. He sounded serious "okay so talk"

"It's about Shoto" hearing his name sent a shiver down my spine.
"What about him, he's... gone... for real this time, the doctors took his body and they wouldn't have done that if..." I was still trying to convince myself more so than anyone else.
"That's just it" he paused "it seemed odd to me that they didn't let anyone say their goodbyes so, I went back to investigate. Turns out they didn't move him"
"But then that means I was right... he's out there"
"Yes but, I spoke to the doctors, they said that looking at the footage of him leaving he didn't seem to know what was going on. They think if he is still out there he may have amnesia"
"He... he might not know who I am? It sounds crazy I know but I think Deku might have already gotten to him?"

I could tell he knew where I was going with this "last night, I saw him, Deku, and he said he found a new man but something didn't seem right, then they vanished into a wall of blue fire and Sho was so close to achieving blue fire" I explained.
"You could be right" I wasn't expecting that response "you know him better than any of the other heroes. If you think something is off we'll look into it. You can go now, expect to see me soon" and he left.

I quickly grabbed my gauntlets and put them on as I headed straight for the office. I was glad it was saturday staff, I couldn't deal with lots of people. As soon as I barged in I was met with lots of questions that once again I ignored. "SHUT UP ALL OF YOU!" they soon stopped with the questions. "I just spoke to Aizawa. We think this 'new villain' Deku is hanging out with could potentially be Shoto, and before anyone even fucking dares to question his intentions, if it is him" I had to pause just thinking about it hurt. "We think he has amnesia" I didn't stop to look at their reactions, I had to get out of there and let them deal with the information however they wanted to.

I heard someone follow me and didn't care that they saw when I had to hold onto the wall. I felt like I was going to collapse "bro you can sit this one out you know. We can handle this" Eijiro was right but it didn't change my mind. I shook my head, I was going with them and there was no way they could make me stay. "Yeah, I guessed you would react like that, so I'm sorry" I looked over to him clearly confused.

I saw Endeavour and Touya standing just behind Eijiro. "You're too close to this, just like we are, we will only hold them back so let them do what they need to do" Endeavour said. I still refused and even though I was barely able to breathe I tried to push my way past them. "I... I have to" Touya had me in his grasp and I started punching his chest "you have to let me... I have to help him"

"No. What you need to do is let your friends help you, let your friends help Shoto" he was still holding me. I just wanted to get Shoto back and deep down I knew they were right. I knew I should let the others take care of this one but my heart was more stubborn than my brain. "I have to go with them, please" I could feel those damn tears welling up again.

"No, you're gonna come back with us and take out that frustration in a safe place" I was basically dragged to the Todoroki household and shown to the training room. "This room is the most fireproof place you're gonna find, go nuts" Touya encouraged.
