     Sakura hummed happily while tapping on her phone screen. They were currently riding the train and she was waiting for Hosu to appear into view. She could feel the excitement in her veins and adrenaline rush. She swung her feet in the chair with pent up energy.

     She was currently texting Hitoshi, though she didn't mention anything about the Hosu incident. The last thing she needed was for him to ditch his teacher, jump into his alias, and head on over to meet her.

     Pausing, she looked over at Izuku who was currently staring at his phone worriedly. Of course, she knew what he was looking at, but it didn't hurt to ask.

     "Why do you look constipated?" she asked across the aisle to where he and Gran Torino sat together.

     "A-ah, " he stuttered, "Well, Iida-kun didn't reply to my message... He usually replies in three minutes after reading the messages are read."

      "Heh?" she smirked, "I really wonder why..."

     Trailing off, she placed her fans in her lap, turning her phone on silent also.

     "Hey, look at that!" a passenger exclaimed aloud, causing the other people on the train to look to the right, "That building just exploded!"

     With that, Sakura stared at the side of the train, the same side that the hero and Nomu would appear from. "The hero fun is starting..."

     With that Izuku looked at her in confusion, "What do you mean by that?"

    Then the speakers went on for an announcement. "Passengers, please hold onto your seats."

     The train screeched as the brakes were turned on and everyone jerked forward when a loud bang came about. When the hero came flying in, Sakura then made her move, rushing forward to move him out of the way.

      "Deku!" she shouted, using his hero name, "Use your quirk on the Nomu!"

     "Nomu...?" he muttered weakly, eyes widening when he saw the humanoid enter the train.

     Since he was unmoving and in shock, Sakura bolted to avoid an attack from the Nomu. Since she was trying to rescue the hero, she was now targeted by the thing. 

     She criticized herself slightly for not preparing for this moment and only learning the fans, they were essentially useless for fighting a Nomu. 

     Scowling, she yelled, "Hurry and get your ass over here! Don't you want to be the number one hero?!"

     Gran Torino held out his hand, stopping Midoriya before he made any move. "I'll handle this."

     With that, the old man jumped around, gaining momentum until effectively crashing into the Nomu and pushing it to a far away building.

     "Gran Torino!" Izuku exclaimed with concern as he looked out from the gigantic hole. He however paused when he saw the wreckage in Hosu.

     "Go!" Sakura yelled as she laid the hero down in a comfortable position.

     His gaze snapped back to Sakura who was in turn readying her fans and preparing to jump out of the moving vehicle. "Will you be okay?"

     "I'm quirkless, not handicapped!" she barked as she grabbed on his hand and leaped.

     Izuku's eyes widened as he prepared for a rough landing while Sakura just rolled and went right back into action. He used his quirk to speed up and join up with his teacher while Sakura just used her speed, which was rather fast.

      "You need to stop getting shocked, "she scolded, "In just that one second that you're unable to act, someone can be killed."

      His face molded into a frown and his gaze shifted to the ground, "You're right... Sakura-san, thanks."

      She stumbled for a moment, not expecting those words to come out of his mouth. "M-Mmn, no problem."

     "This is the League of Villains, isn't it? " he inquired seriously, now focusing on the problem before him.

     Of course, Sakura nodded, "Mmn, that's right."

    "Why didn't you say anything!?" he sputtered, "You could've told someone and prevented all of this!"

     Clucking her tongue, she gave him a pointed look, "You don't understand, do you? The League has eyes and ears everywhere and is backed by yours and All Might's greatest enemy. Not only that, but you're too trusting of people."

     "Too... Trusting?"

     Sakura shook her head at his naive look, "Ask yourself this: how is it possible that the League of Villains knew of All Might's schedule and had knowledge of the layout of the USJ, including their electrical systems?"

     He pondered on it for a moment before he realized what she was implying. With that his expression went grim. "There's someone leaking information... A spy?"

     "I'm not telling you to be too paranoid, but know not to let your guard down. When your quirk gets out, you'll be their first target."

     He nodded, his Adam's apple bobbing as he gulped in fear.

     She sighed aloud, "Hah, at least you've gotten more tolerable now."

     When he was about to jump down onto the streets, Sakura tugged at his sleeve. "What is it?"

    "I'm doing you a favor, follow me."

     "We need to go down and meet up with Gran Torino!"

     "We need to save your friend who has confronted the Hero Killer and is going to be killed."

     "Huh?"

     Sakura did state that fact rather bluntly, but she didn't have time for this. "Iida-kun is out seeking vengeance. I'd rather not waste my energy going through each alley when you figure out what he's up to so..."

     Pulling away, she hopped across other buildings, leading to a shadier part of the alleyways. "Send out an alert of the location to all of your friends. We'll probably need backup to face him."

     "Alright."

     Her lips moved upwards when he unhesitatingly pulled out his phone and did as she asked. He at least listened to her better than Naruto would have.

     Finally reaching that area, she readied an iron fan in her hand, jumping downwards to attack Stain, who was ready to give the Class 1-A student the killing blow. Metal hit against metal and Sakura couldn't help but smirk. "Hero Killer Stain, huh? Your weapons are kind of jagged. Don't you sharpen them?"

      "More kids, " he muttered as Deku also came down to join her.

      "Sakura-san, " Izuku murmured, "Can you share as much as you know about him?"

     She smiled wickedly, her teeth gleaming, "I thought that you would never ask."
