8:00 AM

Izuku had woken up much earlier than he had expected, He and Shoto hadn't been able to make it any further with their strategies for fighting Endeavor, they had a handicap against him and that was even worse than not having a strategy on fighting him. While Endeavor was no All Might, he had been apparently training more in the past month, a fact that unsettled Izuku. They had no idea how strong he was at this point and this was another wall in their search.

Izuku kept finding holes in his plans and potential ways his plans could fail, it made him second guess himself, he and Shoto there was no point in fighting Endeavor if they would lose. Failure wasn't an option at this point. They were stuck at the moment and Izuku figured he would focus on...

Izuku remembered about the hero ranking party, he knew that endeavor would be there considering that he would be named the number one hero after all, he already was at this point, Izuku was unsure about...

Shoto had woken up catching Izuku's attention

Shoto: Your up early

Izuku: Yeah I was thinking

Shoto: I see

Izuku: I feel lost, no more stuck.

Shoto: It's okay Izuku we are probably just overthinking things

Izuku: Your Right

Izuku knew that he was hiding something from himself, his hand had been in his pocket this entire time, his fingers rested on a box in his pocket, the box of cigarettes, he had been thinking about them but he tried to hide these thoughts away. It was itching at him and he knew he needed a smoke break.

Overhaul stepped into the room as if fate was giving Izuku a gift or a curse, the sweet irony of the unknown

Overhaul: Izuku we need to talk for a second

Izuku: Of course

Izuku walked into the hallway as Overhaul motioned to Izuku to follow him down the long hallway.

Overhaul: Because of your good work, I figured I'd let you get the things you need for the Hero ranking event.

Izuku: Thank you

Overhaul: However Izuku I want to remind you, if you tell anyone and I mean anyone about the organization, I will end everyone you care about including little Eri, I hope you understand that

Izuku: *clenches his fists* I understand

Overhaul: Good

Izuku: I do need an outfit from my gi...

Overhaul: Himiko right

Izuku wanted to punch Overhaul over and over again until he was but pulp on the floor, but he held back.

Izuku: Yes Himiko

Overhaul: Go get your outfit, you could say I'm extending my leash around you Izuku, however a leash is still a leash, you are mine

Izuku: I understand

Overhaul smiled at that, he was enjoying tormenting Izuku, he knew that Izuku could say something to Himiko and sure it would be challenge to fight there "league" however they would be in his territory after all, he was going to win no matter what, but he knew that Izuku wouldn't tell anyone, as long as I have him where I want him, he can't do a thing

Izuku: Shoto is coming to the party too

Just then Eri poked her head out from the next turn in the hallway

Eri: Can I go to the party

Overhaul: Eri what are you doing out of your room

Eri: *froze*

Overhaul: Why are you disobeying me Eri

Eri: I... I'm sorry

Izuku: Come on she can come, right?

That bastard he was fucking with him now, Izuku decides now to pull this shit, Eri leaving her room in of it's self is already bad enough but this makes it worse. Izuku was trying to take control away from Overhaul, if he told Eri no then it would be back to square one, there was no way for him to gain any leverage now. Overhaul cursed Izuku in his head, at this rate Izuku could keep using Eri against Overhaul.

But then Overhaul had an idea, what if he did let Izuku take Eri, he could say it was a test then he would be in control of the situation, this would be a stroke of pure genius.

Overhaul: Of course Eri can go

Eri: Thank you!

Overhaul noticed her almost smile, it didn't matter much to him as long as she was his tool he could over look the smaller details

Overhaul: But you have to wait in your room okay?

Eri: Okay! See you Izuku

Eri ran off which alerted Overhaul, Eri knows how the hideout is layed out, more problems to deal with at another time.

Overhaul: I expect you to be back by 4 PM I'll provide you with a way to get around, but I want to remind you at that party if anything happens to Eri *punches into the wall leaving a hole* it will be on you Izuku Midoriya
