How We Came To Be

Chapter 22 - Ground Zero

They could all feel the excitement that the situation was producing, it wasn't the kind that made you happy and anxious for it, but more like the kind that made your heart pump faster in fear.

On their way out of the park, they decided that Aoyama, Ojiro, Shoji and Mineta would stay at the Bakugo residence to keep watch. They were to alert the pro heroes should anything happen to the group on their way to rescue Midoriya.

Though they wanted to tell the pros, they had decided that tracking them down and updating them on the situation would only be time consuming and counterproductive to their plans. Midoriya needed to be saved now.

If you asked anyone on the subway, the quiet group of kids seemed to be up to no good, what with their serious demeanor and all. No one wanted to speak, they new the plan, the rest would have to play itself out.

A few stations later, they were getting off the subway and walking out into downtown Musutafu. The cold winter air contrasting the warmth they felt in the subway put them on alert as the followed after Tokoyami through the streets.

Their objective was only a few blocks away from the subway station. They quickly made their way through the once crowded city streets, keeping a low profile, pulling farther away from the brighter part of the city.

Shops and buildings as tall as skyscrapers could be seen decorating the area, most of them shielding what little light the moon gave off. The darkness only serving to hide their faces. They were from a school that was recognized nationwide, if word got out of what they were doing, they'd have hell to pay.

Tokoyami gave the signal, alerting the group that they had arrived. As planned, they made their way around the building towards the warehouse in the back.

As they passed Endeavor's training complex, the group was met with a barb wired wall that seemed to be ten feet tall. They searched for a way in, until they came upon black double doors big enough to fit a semi through them.

No one seemed to be nearby, they had expected at least a couple of guards, considering they were holding someone captive.

As they looked for a way past the doors, Katsuki noticed a small beeping box with a red led light on the wall. "We need some sort of key card." He told the group, sighing. Frustrated their plan was already failing.

"My time to shine." Said Kaminari, popping his knuckles. He went up the box and sent a short current into the system. The red light turned green and the doors were opening. "Violà!" he said taking a step back.

"Nice." Praised Mina. "Alright, Koda, Hagakure, you're up." She said to the pair.

Koda hadn't wasted any time. Before he was even spoken to, he had sent some pigeons out to scout the area and distract any potential guards.

Hagakure was in charge of mapping out the area and identifying any potential threats. Ridding herself of all her clothing, she was now completely invisible and left without a word, not wasting any time.

"Did she leave?" asked a confused Iida. They took her silence as a confirmation.

The minutes that passed in her absence dragged on for what felt like forever, they felt like they would be caught at any moment, though they were thankful for the protection the night offered.

Hagakure's return scared them since they were only able to hear her quick steps as she neared them. "Sorry I took so long." She apologized, startling a few.

"From what I saw, it's the only building inside and it's right in the middle of the area. The warehouse door seems to be completely solid and has no electrical connections." She explained, trying to remember all she saw.
