Infiltration - PART ONE

Keys and Safety

-x- Third Person POV -x-

Todoroki, Bakugo, Iida, and Uraraka raced to get to the building, barely able to keep themselves from stumbling over as they pumped their legs.

Icy air was blown from Todoroki's lips, and his arm was decorated in frost, which was only added to as he created a path. However, he simply stared forwards, ignoring the chills running down his spine.

Bakugo's wrists felt as if they might snap at any given moment, with how long he had been pushing himself to propel himself with his explosions. Not only that, but the burning in his hand only reignited when he forced himself to move. Uraraka, similarly, was making herself sick from how strongly and how long she lightened herself. And Iida, although used to running, was out of breath himself.

But it didn't matter. They continued pushing themselves, practically falling on top of each other when Todoroki skidded to a halt.

"T...There!" he panted, raising a shaky finger towards the building, "It's that one."

The group exchanged uneasy looks as they caught their breath.

"Do... Do you t-think there will be v...villains in there?" Uraraka spoke, gasping for air.

Iida raised his head, the rest of his body bent over. "P...Possibly. But w...we didn't come this f...far for nothing."

Bakugo nodded, breathing heavily as well. "We'll... just have t...to take a chance."

After each of them straightened, they took deep breaths before walking towards the door.

Uraraka gulped as her fingers curled around the metal handle, glancing back nervously to her friends. They each gave her a nod, prompting her to turn and calm herself. It'll be okay. We'll find him, and we'll save him.

Biting her lip, Uraraka pushed the door open, wincing at the loud, metallic creak.

The building was dark and smelled of stale air, a whispering breeze travelling through the halls.

"L-let's go," Uraraka said uneasily.

Bakugo nodded before stepping in front of her, motioning for the rest to follow.

Their footsteps clacked loudly against the cemented floors, and they jumped once the door closed behind them. After sharing a nervous laugh, they continued forwards.

Todoroki squinted as they walked. "Is that... A light?" he asked, seeing a flicker of light in the darkness.

Bakugo glanced over. "Looks like it," he replied simply. "Let's just go."

The group, although unable to see each other, nodded in response and followed Bakugo's lead.

The blonde led them to a door that was cracked open and, once Bakugo pushed it in, light poured into the hall. It was dim, but it was enough.

Everyone glanced around, searching for a sign of life anywhere. However, there was no one to be found.

"Creepy...," Uraraka mumbled.

"Odd... I thought there'd be at least one villain here," Iida said uneasily.

Todoroki glanced around. "Was I wrong...?"

Bakugo opened his mouth to respond when a door caught his eye. He silently made his way towards the room, jiggling the knob. However, it seemed to be locked.

Bakugo cursed under his breath before turning towards the group. "Look for some keys."

Curious, each of them nodded, scanning the area for said keys. Eventually, Iida spoke up.
