Aizawa looked down at the bare roof to Hotel X. He circled the building only to find that the thread stopped somewhere on the 6th floor. There was no doubt in his mind, you were inside.
The location made his skin crawl, This isn't right. It's too public, it'd be too obvious if he used his quirk here. Something's not right.
He pulled his phone out of his pocket and texted Mic:
'If I don't call you in 1 hour come to Hotel X. I found where Y/N is.'
Pressing send, Aizawa looked back at the building. Every muscle in his body tensed as if he had been struck by a live wire as he watched the thread steadily climb the side of the building. It came to a halt at the top floor.

*Inside Room 604 — 5 minutes earlier*
The two of your finished your meal in relative silence, the only noise being the muffled clamor of traffic outside.
You flenched at the shrill ring of Kurt's phone.
Derrick threw the empty wrapper in a nearby waste bin as he answered, "This is Kurt's phone. Who is this?"
Derrick stiffened as he listened to the person speak.
"He wasn't feeling well so I told him to go home so he wouldn't get in the way tonight... I'll make sure it won't be a problem... Yes sir..." he looked at you with knit brows, "Yea, I'll bring her up now."
After ending the call, Derrick stood and cracked his knuckles. He looked down at you and sighed, "It's time to go kid."
You would have laughed at being called a kid by a stranger at your age if it had been used under better circumstances. But in that moment, those five little words left you feeling like one. So powerless in a situation completely out of your control.
Derrick kept a hand firmly on your shoulder as the two of you made your way to the elevator. Your chest seemed to constrict with every step, leaving your breaths to come out as a faint wheezing sound.
Once the elevator doors shut, Derrick spoke in a low voice, "I don't know what it is that you have planned with that thread Kurt saw, but whatever it is, you better do it soon."
You looked up at him with wide eyes.
"Don't give me that look kid. I'm obviously not going to help you escape, but I'll keep what Kurt said to myself for now. —Just don't make me regret it." He warned.
"Why didn't you tell him you believed him?"
Derrick pursed his lips and was quiet for a moment, "It's just that gut feeling I got about tonight. I'd rather he not be here if I'm right."
You frowned, "I don't know what this Zanshu guy has planned, but..."
What am I doing? I can't trust him. Those two have been prying for information since they brought me to the hotel.
"But what?"
You shook your head and said dryly, "But none of that's gonna matter if I die from an asthma attack before he can do it."
"Oh, is that what the wheezing was about?" Derrick asked, "I just figured you were a bit worse for wear after being tossed around in the back of the car earlier. You got an inhaler?"
You coughed slightly, "Yeah, but you two had me leave it at the daycare with all my other stuff."
Derrick sighed, "Yea, I guess we did, didn't we? Ok here, rest your hands on the top of your head and try evening out your breaths if you can. There's a vending machine on the same floor as his room that we can stop at before we go to him."
"Vending machine?" You asked but did as you were told.
"Your doctor never you told you? Kurt's got real bad asthma too -I didn't tell you that though, he's self conscious about it- His doc told him that if he was ever in a bind like this that caffeine helps. I don't really get why, but it does help him a bit."
"Oh."
*******
After letting you quickly down half a Pepsi, you found yourself at the door of Room 902. Standing directly behind you, Kurt rapted on the door twice.
Through the door an annoyed male voice spoke, "Took you long enough. Come in already."
A/N: Caffeine is technically classified as a drug. It's actually super similar to Theophyline which is a drug commonly used to open up the airways and relieve symptoms of Asthma
Another A/N: *excited clapping* ITS HERE ITS HERE ITS HERE OMFG *PTERODACTYL SCREECH* I CAN'T WAIT TO FUCKING WRITE THE NEXT UPDATE
*starts brewing another pot of coffee*
