"Aizawa-sensei!" I think that was Midoriya. He was the first one I heard, but there was still some shouting at the front that I elected to ignore. "We managed to capture Toga. She's still awake, but Sero has her tied up, so she can't really move. Actually, Kacchan and Sero-kun have gone kind of feral," he explained as I caught up to them.

"Good job," I said, glancing exasperatedly at the two, who were in fact, a bit out of control. Sighing, I turned back to Midoriya. "You all are getting better at this. Kirishima mentioned that Mina's gone?"

"Yeah, Toga's been posing as her for about a week now, apparently," Midoriya said sadly. "I feel like such a bad friend, I should've noticed sooner!"

"It's alright, Midoriya, we'll get her back from wherever she's being held in no time." I sighed, seeing how guilty and ashamed he looked. I placed my hands on either of his shoulders. "It's not your fault, Midoriya. You weren't the only one who was fooled, they duped us all. All we need to do is make sure we're not too late." This only seemed to dampen his mood, and I wondered what I was saying wrong.

"Someone's getting soft," Hizashi teased me from behind me. I'd forgotten the rest of the teachers were there, save for Yagi and Nemuri.

I rolled my eyes, finally acknowledging the noise still coming from where Toga was tied up. Bakugo and Sero were screaming at her, as one does.

"Where the fuck is Mina?" Was that Sero? I honestly couldn't distinguish his voice from Bakugo's by this point, he was so angry, which I'll admit caught me by surprise.

"I told you a thousand times, she's dead!" the psycho cackled. "That was the last of her blood that just wore off. I'm starting to get really mad that you don't believe me."

"Like Hell if I care if you're mad, I swear you're lying. You've gotta be!"

"Sero!" I shouted from the opposite end of the hallway. "Bakugo! That's enough."

"And he's back," Thirteen sighed. I ignored them.

"Aww, it was getting fun, Eraser," Toga giggled. "You're no fun!"

"Right. You're going to tell us what you all want now. Why you're here. How you got in. And where Mina is," I growled, marching right up to her. Midoriya followed me. "And, for the record, I'd like to know where the rest of your friends are."

"Ha! Friends? The only friends I've got are the ones who you just fought! Shiggy's gone crazy and Dabi's dead! We just want to do what we want to when we feel like it, and we felt like stirring up a little chaos. I'll tell you everything about Shiggy's dumb plan if you promise to let me beat Izuku up a little, he's so cute like that!"

"The fuck... no," I rolled my eyes, noticing Bakugo latching protectively onto the little green floof. Well, finally, they're not gonna fight as much. "I'll ask you one time, then. Our top priority is keeping the students safe. Where is Mina?" I didn't bother activating my quirk on her, she couldn't move and it wouldn't help her out.

"Hmph, you're no fun. I can't even scratch 'im up? Just a tiny bit?" Did she even hear me? "Oh, fine. But just because I want to, no other reason. You almost believed me, didn't you?" She giggled at Sero, who looked prepared to rip her throat out. I guess friends could get really overprotective, couldn't they? "We've got her in a warehouse near the coast. Not too far from here, I guess. Across the street from that new boba place that opened up. I don't know the exact address. And that's the best you're getting from me! Go fetch before she dies, and make sure to come back a little scathed—" I cut her off with a karate chop to the back of the neck, knocking her out.

"Good thing you got here, Aizawa-sensei, pretty sure they would've killed her if you didn't," Uraraka sighed with relief. "We hardly had to do anything."

I glanced back at the two boys, who were still seething. I wondered if this was how I would've reacted if one of my friends had been kidnapped by villains without my knowing for a whole week.

"You can't go just yet," I said, and Bakugo crossed his arms angrily, but didn't say anything. "We need to turn these guys into the police and get whatever intel we can on Shigaraki's plan, stat. I'm going with you two, and whoever else insists upon coming, and I'll know if you jettison off someplace without me because Mic's gonna scream as loud as he can."

"I am? Eraser, that's how I kill people," Hizashi scratched the back of his neck.

I turned my gaze back on Sero and Bakugo, activating my quirk so they knew I meant serious business. "Then I guess they'd better not move a muscle." I then tore the end of Sero's tape from his elbow to drag Toga back to where Nemuri was with the other three baddies, not sparing the group of scared teenagers and pro heroes alike a second glance.
