-One Month Later-

I sat on a wooden cot, staring at my door while I sweated in my straight jacket. My cell had been built specially for electric quirk users. My jacket was made of rubber, and the rest of the room was covered in rubber, much like a padded room in an asylum. They probably thought I was crazy, and had given me the quarters to accommodate all my insanity.

I heard a lock click, and one of my guards stepped into the room. I put on one of my brightest smiles, and said, "Good morning, Jennifer. If it is morning, which I don't know, because of the obvious lack of windows. Either way, it's always a joy to see you." I winked.

Jennifer chuckled, "Come on," she said as she led me to the front of the room, "you have visitors."

"Who on earth would be visiting me?" I asked with an innocent smile

Jennifer's face became stern as she said, "Some of you old classmates, that's who."

My smile dropped. Crap. I had hoped... well I don't know, that they would just forget I existed? Not that they had really cared in the first place, but still...

We walked into what I assumed was a visitation area of some sort, because there was a see-through partition cutting the room in half, on my side was one chair, and on the other side four. I already had a slight idea of who was coming.

I sat down in my chair as Jennifer left the room to watch from the overhead windows, and waited for the Bakusquad to enter while I strained against my straight jacket.

-Kirishima POV-

After Denki had been discovered as the traitor, the school went into a state of shock, at the fact that Denki, who everyone had thought of as the idiot of class 1A, had been working with the League of Villains.

1A hadn't been the same without him, everyone was either sad and quiet, or irritable and angry. Mina and I had wanted to visit him for a week before we actually left, but we had needed a group of four, and it took awhile to get Sero and Bakugou to agree.

Either way we were all standing outside the room where we were supposed to talk to Kaminari. Sero was pale, Mina was biting her lip so badly that I wouldn't be surprised if she broke the skin. Bakugou's eyes were red, and I didn't want to think about how big the bags under my eyes must have been.

A guard turned the corner, and said, "He's in there, you kids can head on in."

We filed in, and I immediately regretted coming. Denki sat behind a clear, bullet-proof partisan with his legs clamped to the legs of his chair, and wore a straight jacket and quirk repressing collar. He had a grin spread across his face, but it was nothing like the happy smiles I was used to. It looked more like the look a cat would have while it played with a mouse until it died of fright. Even though he was the one tied down, it felt like he was somehow standing above us.

Denki grinned. "Hey guys," He said, like we had just walked into the dorm kitchen, "what's up?"

Mina made a choking sound, and Sero turned around and left. I felt the color wash out of my face, and I sensed Bakugou shaking next to me. I assumed it was out of anger.

Then Denki snorted and slumped back into his seat the smile replaced again with the cruel sneer. "That was hilarious," He chuckled, "now, what do you guys want? Go ahead, sit down and tell me. I don't want to waste any time, and one of those lovely chairs isn't going to be of any use now because of Sero."

We sat down, but none of us could really say anything. Bakugou had been talking about all the things he would yell at Denki while he blew off his head, but was now just sitting in his chair, as if not sure what to do.

Denki tilted his head to the side, like a dog who didn't understand what their human was doing. "Aren't any of you going to talk? I thought that was the whole reason you came here? Or did you just want to bask in my amazing presence?" He smiled wider. "I can talk if you're not going to. Ahem," He said in a mock-posh voice, straightening up in his chair, shuffling around in his straight jacket. "I have a very nice cell over on... block C, if I recall correctly. Five star accommodations, if you ask me. It even has a toilet, not like I can pull down my pants with this jacket on. Room service is always on time, but the food isn't the best. I've also buffed up a lot, actually."

He strained against the straight jacket as if trying to flex is apparently 'buffed up' arms. Mina snorted, and Bakugou glared at her.

Denki smiled, looking happy to have broken the ice a bit.

"Haven't made any friends though..." he said, pouting a bit. "I don't think anybody likes me. It's probably because I've never talked to any of them, since I never really leave my room." He stared into the distance of a minute. "A lot like middle school, actually. Except no bullies, or Toumura to threaten to turn said bullies into ashes. Also no body-hiding or lawsuits."

My mouth dropped open, and I stared at him for a moment. "...Body hiding?" I asked, "You've killed someone?"

"Umm," Denki said, "maybe?" The creepiest part of that confession was the fact that he still had that grin hanging on his face.

"You're crazy," Mina muttered.

"I guess. You should see Toga!" He let out a high pitched laugh. "You guys look so uncomfortable, and you're in the good chairs!"

Bakugo growled.

"SO." Denk said, "Tell me things. What's up at hero school?" The said 'hero' with so much disdain as he simultaneously kept his smile hitched up on his face.

"Why did you do it?" Mina whispered.

"That doesn't really answer my question," Denki said, "but it's something."

We all looked at him expectantly.

"Oh, I'm not going to explain my life story to you guys. To cliche. I'm just waiting for my ride to get here."

"What?" Bakugo snapped. His voice cracked, and I glanced over at him. His eyes were wet.

"I told you," Denki muttered, "you really need to listen more, Kacchan."

A guard screamed from behind us, and the wall exploded, much like when All Might Detroit Smashed the wall of the bar. Except this time it wasn't All Might, but the League of Villains.

Spinner threw an unconscious Sero at our feet, and Bakugo lunged forward, mini explosions bursting in his hands. Mina shot a jet of acid at them, and I used my quirk to harden both my arms.

However, none of the Leaguers made any attempt to fight us, they just dodged our attacks and booked it toward the glass. Shigaraki placed his hand up against the partition, and it crumbled under his touch. Alarms blared, and the room went into lockdown. Shigaraki used his quirk to free Denki, then touched all five fingers to one of the walls. The other villains fought off both us and the guards as Shigaraki disintegrated the barriers. Before we knew it, they were gone, taking Kaminari with them.

So, we got to the part where I need to stop editing and start writing. I'm working on other stories as well, so updates will be sporadic. 

Thank you for reading, and if you have any suggestions, please tell me!
