Perhaps it was a bit hasty of Naoko to just jump in and start out with this mini-heist. Honestly, Naoko had seen better thought out plans from class 1-A of all places, yet here she was, making the same mistakes as they might. It was rash and rudimentary, but Naoko had been too excited to properly think things through... perhaps. That was the only explanation she could come up with for what was happening.

They were all standing outside the hospital, regular clothes (Except Dabi, the emo of the group), and masks that had been grabbed from a bargain bin less than five minutes ago.

Naoko had been thrown a Naruto mask and was now mostly blind to the world, but the mask was necessary because the whole thing was horrifically embarrassing. On one side of her was Donald duck, aka Dabi- who seemed even less pleased about the situation than Naoko was- who was currently sporting the reddest ears that Naoko had ever seen and smoke curling from his hands.

He, like Naoko, seemed to decide that this situation was one best dealt with in silence, as she felt no vibrations from the gothic duck.

On the other side of Naoko was Mag, A.K.A. V from V for Vendetta, A.K.A, the only one who was happy with the situation. The woman was standing there, bouncing in her shoes as they stared at the doors and chattering away with no care if the steady stream of vibrations was any indication. She'd been the one who took charge of choosing the masks, claiming that they had to "Represent the person wearing it," which was part of the reason Dabi had been pissed at Mag the entire way to the hospital, but it didn't deter her. She was still as happy as ever, still speaking, even though Dabi wasn't responding, and Naoko was about as useful in conversation as a deaf girl in a mask was expected to be.

They were quite the trio.

A trio who was quickly getting attention, which, the more attention they got before going in, the more likely it was that the police would be there prematurely.

"Ready?" Naoko said, desperately trying to hide the tremble ripping though her. If this went belly side up, she would be done with her vigilante career before it even got started.

The two nodded, and Naoko stepped forward. This was it. A half-assed plan was in big intro into the world. Go her. First, she kills All For One, huge feat, right? Well, look out world, here came Naoko Fujimura, Kidnapper extraordinaire.

All eyes were on them as they entered, which was understandable, they looked odd enough as it was, more like cartoonish bank robbers than anything.

The silence was stifling, but Naoko was 'in charge,' she had to get the ball rolling. "G-Give us Todoroki Rei." Naoko managed to get out before clearing her throat. She could practically feel Dabi rolling his eyes even as his hand lit up in blue flames.

No one was moving. Shit, they didn't hear her, did they? She'd try again. She knew she wouldn't be heard god, this was a disaster.

"We're here for Todoroki Rei, a patient at this hospital. Bring her to us with any of her belonging in the next five minutes or..." Wait. Threats? Crap, she didn't want to do that, but what else was she supposed to do? If she stopped now, they'd never take her seriously!

With a boldness she could only pretend to possess, Naoko slipped her hand out of the quirk restraining bracelet, melting the sole of her shoe in preparation, "Or... Or we'll bring this hospital crashing down on top of you."

Oof, not the threat she wanted to say, it was a bit too close to home, also something she'd never do, but oh well, too late now. For the first time in weeks, her quirk was free. The familiar suppressing pressure lifted, only to be replaced with that same, strong, feeling that something was off. It was as though something had been taken from her, the sheer... wrongness of it nearly making her take a knee.
