Into the Unknown

All-Might's POV:

All-Might nodded, giving a big thumbs up. "Got it!" I went up front with Present Mic, turning back to look at Eraserhead as he spoke up again.

"Do either of you have a flashlight? Eraserhead asked, taking out his flashlight to display. 'Must be nice to have a utility belt. Not like I couldn't have one, it's just inconvenient,' I thought, shaking my head at Eraserhead's question. Present Mic shook his head as well. Eraserhead let out a small sigh. "Alright, I'll be providing some light then."

With Aizawa following slightly behind with the flashlight, the three of us begun searching the alley for clues, finding nothing. Maybe there was nothing to be found and that villain just had somebody waiting for him here with a transportation quirk. 'From what I've heard the only guy they saw was the one who took Kamui Woods, but it's possible that there was another guy.' I was unconvinced that we'd be able to find anything until I saw the blond on my right move to examine the place next. He tripped and nearly fell, but before that could happen I caught him, bringing Present Mic back into a standing position.

Present Mic looked down, confused. "Careful there, Mic!" I smiled. Present Mic was furrowing his brows.

"That was weird..." He kneeled down. I couldn't read his expression through the darkness, but by the way he perked up I knew he had seen something. "Found a trapdoor. This looks like it's worthy of a pretty radical hideout!" Looking down, I saw it as well. Just like Present Mic had said, there was a trapdoor painted the same colour as the ground. Somehow they had gotten the exact colour and texture, I have to admit it's some pretty impressive work.

"This must've been where the guy disappeared this morning!" Present Mic celebrated by striking an overenthusiastic pose.

"We should check with the police to make sure we won't need a warrant," All-Might suggested.

Eraserhead approached us, shaking his head. "Look around the trapdoor. The digging wasn't a clean job, the hole this trapdoor is placed on is rocky and uneven." The ravenette joined the two at the trapdoor.

Present Mic examined a little closer, quickly nodding. "It doesn't seem to be connected to either of the buildings around here since it's in the middle of the alley. I think we should just go in."

All-Might smiled. "Right, you two are probably correct. So, in we go, then!"

"I'll go first!" Present Mic exclaimed.

"We're investigating an unknown place that may be filled with villains, keep quiet Mic," Eraserhead scolded.

"I'm sure it'll be fine, Sho! Loosen up, they wouldn't be able to hear us with this trapdoor in the way." He grinned at him. Present Mic opened the trapdoor and scrunched his nose at the grimy state of the ladder. "Now I'll be quiet," Present Mic said rather loudly.

Eraserhead scoffed, gazing at Mic with an amused gleam in his eyes, even smiling a little. I don't think it'd be possible to feel more jealous. They were friends, they had stayed friends all this time. 'I really miss him. And Yamada too,' he thought, his smile growing a little less bright.

Aizawa's POV:

I turned off my flashlight. 'If there was somebody down there they'd see the light and be ready for a fight before we even knew they were there.' As we climbed down, the hole seemed to close in on them more and more the further they climbed down the ladder. It was getting really cold. 'This must be pretty far down if the temperature is dropping so much,' I thought. Luckily, unlike the other two, my costume's design was based on practicality, so I remained perfectly comfortable. You never know when it'll get a little chilly.
