Sure, you and Patches had been tossed into a near literal hellscape if the villains were anything to go off, but your adopted parents hadn't raised no wimp. You were a tough cookie when you chose to be.

After all, the Iida family was a hero family, where it was pretty much accepted that most of your aunts and uncles would be killed by villains instead of being offed by some kind of natural cause. it just came with the territory, and that meant that you weren't completely overwhelmed with it all.

Overwhelmed? Yes, but not completely.

You were still able to dodge with all the grace of a distance runner who had been plunged into a sea of sharks.

The hardest part of the whole thing was Dabi, who was recovering, but he was doing it far too slowly for you. This whole thing was your quirk's fault, so that meant if he died here, it would be on you, and there was no way you wanted that guilt.

After only a few moments, a familiar face had you gasping and surging through the crowd to the fountain in the middle of the square.

"Eraserhead!" You yelled, kicking in the knees of someone who was aiming some sort of cannon at the underground hero. This was okay, it wasn't like you were on the verge of a panic attack the whole time... No, once you were out of danger, there was no chance of you collapsing into a pile of adrenaline and tears.

The pro's head snapped to you just in time to see you push Patches out of the way of a sword, "Iida?" He snapped at you, sending his capture weapon to grab the cannon guy you had taken out a moment ago, "The heck are you doing here?"

No doubt he had more questions than that, but now wasn't exactly the best time to be asking them. You'd take him out for lunch after this just to thank him for saving your butt.

A high pitched scream left you as Patches snapped out of his mini coma, sending out another burst of blue fire, which, thankfully missed you this time. It made a villain rear back and you turned to Eraser for just a moment, "Why am I ever at places I shouldn't be? This is Patches, he-" You had to stop for a moment as a hand grabbed at you, "-He got dragged along for the ride."

Patches was beyond confused, but there was little time to consider that as he grabbed you and dropped to his knees, "What the fuck was that?!" He screamed, looking at you with wide eyes.

Well, this situation just kept getting better.

You waved him off, choosing to stare at Eraserhead instead. If you weren't losing your mind, this pro was Tenya's homeroom teacher this year. It was something the teenager had been incredibly proud to announce at dinner more than once over the last week.

He knew that the pro had gotten you out of some pretty sticky situations, so he was happy to announce that he would be helping the 'esteemed hero' to see that not all Iida's were near delinquents. It was only natural that you laced all of Tenya's personal supply of orange juice with laxatives after that, but that was beside the point.

If Eraserhead was here, that meant that either he was on one of the worst patrols in the history of the world right now, or your brother was close.

You jumped back a step and looked around, your desperation increasing, "Where's Tenya?" Your voice held a rare hostility as you tried to see any trace of your overly strict brother.

"What's going on, hero?" Dabi practically screamed at your side, but you weren't having this right now. Your brother could be in danger, so Patches could stuff it for all you cared, he grabbed at your arm to try and get your attention, but you shrugged him off.

Eraserhead probably looked at you, you couldn't tell with those goggles of his, and shrugged, pointing up a stairway, "I imagine he's already on his way to get help."
