Midori the Queen

Confrontation

Kota groaned as he slowly regained consciousness. His vision blurred and focused on Mandalay’s happy and relieved face.

“Kota! Oh thank goodness you're alright!”

“Mandalay? Where am I?”

“You're at the hospital. Everything's okay now, the villains are gone.” She petted his head gently as the tears of relief trickled down her face.

“Villains…” he murmured and then his eyes went wide as he shot up in bed. “Izumi! Where is Izumi?”

“If you're talking about Midoriya…” Aizawa came in, his head bandage and holding two cups of coffee. He handed one to Mandalay. “She made a nuisance of herself before escaping with the rest of her motley crew.”

“She's okay then? She’s not dead?” He looked relieved.

“No kid, she's alive, but she's in serious trouble.” He sat down on the end of the bed. “I need you to tell me what happened before you got knocked unconscious.”

“He just woke up, Eraser, are you sure this can't wait?”

“Two of my students are missing, time is of the essence.” He argued and looked back to Kota. 

“What will happen to Izumi if I do? Are you gonna arrest her?” Kota narrowed his eyes.

“She's a criminal Kota, so yes she will be arrested. She's a bad person...” Mandalay tried to soothe but he slapped her hand away.

“No she's not!” Kota screamed at her. “Izumi isn't a bad person! She's just trying to help people!”

“Is that what she told you?” Aizawa narrowed his eyes.

“She didn't have to. I can just tell! I'm not stupid!” Kota lowered his head tears springing from his eyes. “She listens to me, she understands me, and she saved me when the real villains attacked. She's just trying to protect the people she cares about, what's so criminal about that?”

“She's killed a lot of people, Kota.” Mandalay tried to rationalize

“Because people won't listen! She tried to make that Muscular guy go away but he wouldn't listen! So she fought him to protect me! She's not bad! She's not!” He wiped his tears and glared at Aizawa. "It's all your guy's fault that she's like that."

“How is it our fault?” 

“I don't have to tell you anything!” Kota spat. “You're all the same to me. Heroes and Villains. Izumi isn't like the rest of you! She's not gonna play by your rules and neither am I!”

“You just had to jump in after her…” Shoto grunted and wiggled against his restraints. 

“Shut up icy hot, no one asked you to follow me.” Bakugo sneered back. He glanced up as the criminals all gathered in the livingroom in what looked like an elaborate cabin home. So this is where the villains had been hiding out. He wondered if it would be possible for him to get a look out the window so he can venture a guess to where they were. 

“Get off me, Twice.” Karma shrugged him off as he tried to finish the stitches on her wounded arm. “That can wait until I finish what I’ve got to say.”  She walked up to Bakugo and Shoto glaring down irritably. Unless she took control of the situation there was no way she’d be able to convince her crew to let these two go.  “No more Miss Nice guy.” She murmured before lifting her head to her crew.

“Where...in your puny little minds...did you think this was a good idea?!” She
 lashed out, her quirk raging and knocking over furniture and random objects. The other members of the league took shelter behind walls and counters trying to avoid the consequences of her rage. Shoto and Bakugo who were restrained had little choice but to lay on the floor and hope not to get hit with the debris.  “Now that we’re finally getting support, now that we finally have financial security, you want to ruin it by putting us back where we started? Attacking U.A. didn’t work the first time, what in god’s name did you think was gonna change this time?”
