By Your Side 2 (Bakugou x Midoriya)

Chapter 6- The Escape

Midoriya's Pov

Damn it! What was I thinking? I can't do this alone, I can't. There are villains everywhere. It was so stupid to come here alone.

I looked through the small opening of the ventilation, they didn't look like they were going anywhere soon. My heart was pounding so loudly I feared they would hear it. Stupid, stupid stupid! I need to go back and call for help.

As I reached for my pocket I noticed that I hadn't brought my phone. Now I'm stuck in this ventilation duct. This time I reached for my necklace. The one I threw out a few days ago. It wasn't there. And Bakugo wasn't there. I still need him.

"God damnit!"

All eyes turned to me.

Bakugo's POV

When things took the wrong turn between me and Deku, an opportunity showed up in front of me, and I took it. I did love him back then, so I couldn't stay there and pretend everything was okay. His obsession wasn't healthy, but he couldn't see it. I had to make him see it.

That time in high school when the League of Villains kidnapped me, I had the impression that they saw me as an equal. Maybe like them I'd fit better working in the shadows, so I took their offer.

However, the members of the League got suspicious of me when my former agency raided one of their hideouts and arrested Shigaraki. Even if I'd helped many times before and helped most of them escape. I was still in probation and they didn't let me run free. Most of the time Toga followed me so they should have known I didn't betray them.

Shigaraki never liked me and it was mutual, so I can't say I was too upset when they caught him. But here I am, the mastermind behind the plan that will break him out of jail.

"Tell us again the rotation of the guards." Kurogiri took the leading role recently and I'm not saying he's not fit for the job but he's too much of a perfectionist for my taste.

"For the tenth time. There's always at least two on the roof that rotate every three hours but they won't be a problem. There are no guards outside, only a retinal scan and a screen to validate the heroes license. Me and Toga already got that card  when we got the blood. Once we get inside..."

"And you made sure that hero you stole blood from won't show up?"

"He won't. With the dose of tranquilizers we used, that idiot will sleep for the entire day. As I was saying. Once we get in, there will be a guard and a receptionist. We'll say we came from the agency and we have some questions for Shigaraki. Then, someone will accompany Toga to sublevel 2, the maximum security level. As long as we don't go there during meal time, we won't find more than one or two guards plus the one who that came with Toga, so she should be able to take care of them alone. Wait for one of them to open the cell or everything will be ruined. There will be cameras everywhere. Kurogiri, it will be your job to disable them. As for the escape, Dabi will lead some of the others and create a distraction. You'll decide what to do, just make sure it's close enough to the prison that the guards will come out to help."

At the sound of his name, Dabi got up from the table he was sitting in and joined the discussion.

"I'm pretty sure I can come up with something." He displayed his quirk, hinting that he'd make a mess outside. "But what about you? Don't tell me you'll stay here and order others around."

"If you got something against my plan tell me, but I don't see anyone coming up with a better idea." He instantly dropped that smug face which was very satisfying. "Besides, I'll be with Twice, monitoring the agency to make sure they don't show up unannounced."
