Evil....Maybe Not

Reunion

Bakugo's POV:

I woke up in Recovery Girl's hospital bed, feeling a bit delirious. I looked around and saw the entire "Baku Squad" in the room with me, all asleep. It was about three in the morning. I shifted to sit upright, and my movements woke Kirishima.

"You're awake!" he shouted, jumping up to hug me. I let out a painful moan, and he quickly backed off. "Sorry."

Everyone began to wake up due to Kirishima's loud voice.

"How long has it been?" Mina asked, turning to me.

"About two days," I replied.

"Shit," I muttered, resting my head on the pillows and trying to recall what had happened. I was fighting someone in a bunny mask. I lifted his mask, but who the hell was it?

Sero lifted his head from his phone and showed it to me. "Look, dude, you were fighting One For All's son and managed to unmask him. The internet is going crazy because it turns out he's that missing kid from, like, two years ago. His name is Midoriya Izuku."

My memory came rushing back the moment I heard that name.

"Deku."

Everyone turned toward me, shocked and confused.

"Do you know him?"

My eyes widened as I realized what I had just said. "No, I was just saying I'm going to deck him the next time I see him." They all awkwardly laughed.

After a while, everyone began to head back to their dorms since it was so late and there was school tomorrow. I was released from the hospital and sent back to my dorm room. Before I left, Recovery Girl said I had tomorrow off as well because my tailbone and spine had been dislocated, and it would take a while for them to stop feeling sore after being reset.

I headed to the dorms, exhausted. As soon as I got to my bed, I passed out. The next morning, I woke up extremely late in the afternoon. Good thing I didn't have to go to school today. I lounged around on my phone until about 3 PM when I heard everyone come back. A few people who weren't at the hospital stopped by briefly to check on me and then left. Around 7 PM, after I had taken a shower and gotten dressed, I heard a knock. I opened the door and saw no one there. "What the hell?" Then I realized the knock was coming from my balcony. Suspicious, I walked over and opened the curtains to see a bunny-masked boy standing there.

"Deku."

Deku's POV:

After the attack, my hopes of escaping resurfaced. I conspired with Dabi, Toga, and Shiggy against my father so we could escape together. I knew I would have to get into trouble again so that my father would throw me in a cell, the only place with a window. Shiggy, as usual, would be the guard and let me out after everyone was asleep, and Toga and Dabi would be our getaway.

Everything was going according to plan until something went wrong. Shiggy pushed me out of the car onto UA property.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked, confused.

"Go! We have sunk too far. We are the ones who have killed and tortured people without being forced. There is no 'saving' us."

My eyes began to water. This was our dream... we were supposed to escape together.

"But we were doing this together," I insisted.

"We are," Shiggy replied, "but you're the only one who can escape. Just go."

I looked over at Toga and Dabi. They nodded in agreement.

"Were you planning this the whole time!?"

Toga poked her head out of the window. "We had to; you wouldn't have gone through with the plan otherwise."
