Summer Break - Kamishin\Shinkami

6. Rescue

Aizawa arrived back at UA with Shinso. He offered to take him to Recovery Girl for his face, but as soon as Shinso was off his back he darted upstairs to Denki's room. He flung open the box that contained his things, knelt down In front of it, and dug around for his hero gear. Aizawa had followed him.

"What do you think you're doin'?" He asked, standing in the door frame.

"I gotta get him back." Shinso said quietly, fumbling with his scarves. He wrapped them loosely around Denki's hoodie, and adjusted his artificial voice box.

Aizawa sighed. He walked in the room and crouched down by Shinso.

"Look, kid. I know this is really stressful, someone you love is in danger-"

"And you're not gonna let me go, it's not safe, yaddeh yaddeh yaddeh. I know." Shinso interrupted.

"Let me finish, dammit." Aizawa put a hand on his shoulder. "I'm saying if you're gonna go get him back, have some tea first, and calm down."

Shinso looked up at him. "You're letting me go?"

Aizawa nodded. "Accompanied by me, of course. You're like a son to me, so I wanna make sure you'll be okay."

Shinso threw his arms around him. "Thank you."

Aizawa patted him on the back, then helped him up. Shinso gave him a weary smile.

"Let's go get your little man. And try to make this fast, I left Eri with Mirio and I know he's got plans soon." Aizawa said and walked to the door, Shinso behind him.

Aizawa had called a few pros and they agreed to meet outside the Villain's hideout in the Kamino Ward. Him and Shinso arrived after about half an hour, taking a few shortcuts.

Meanwhile, Denki was awaiting interrogation. He was tied to a chair in a dark and musty room. It was dimly lit, a small yellow light that was flickering. A truly creepy place.

It was times like these that made Denki's anxiety ten times worse. He was aggressively tapping his fingers on the arms of the wooden chair, and his breaths were short and fast. He was glancing around the room, expecting something to jump out at him. After what felt like an eternity but was only five minutes or so, a door creaked open. Denki let out one sharp breath and froze.

Three tall figures walked in and approached him, followed by a shorter fourth one. When the dim light hit their faces, they were revealed to be Shigaraki, Kurogiri, Dabi, and Toga.

"S-Shigaraki?!" Denki whisper yelled.

Shigaraki removed his father's severed hand from his face, and gave him a menacing grin. He took a few more steps forward.

"Just so you know, if you use your quirk, I'll kill you." He threatened.

Toga skipped up and pointed to the blonde. "There was another one of those bratty UA boys with him, but he ran off! So he's our bait!"

Dabi smirked and approached Denki. "Hitoshi Shinso, is his name, correct?" He asked Denki.

Denki opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He froze.

Dabi chuckled. "I don't need your answer. The information we gathered was enough to tell me."

Shigaraki crossed his arms. "Where is he now?" He asked the blonde.
