Rescue Mina Chapter 1
Mina loved Saturdays, everything about them. The sun being out, no classes for the day, and she could do whatever she wanted. She was currently on her way to meet up with her best friend, and fellow hero in training, Toru Hagakure. They were going shopping at the local mall before Mina had to be back at the dorms to study with resident hero nerd Izuku Midorya. She approached the mall and quickly found Toru waiting for her by the gate. She was easily spotted as it's not every day that there's just a whole floating outift walking around outside.
"Mina! Over here!" The ivisible heroine called out to her friend as she saw her making her way to the door. "Took you long enough to get here. What gives?" She says in a pouty voice, though you'd never be able to tell if it wasn't for the way she said it. "Sorry Toru, just took my time getting here. I was thinking about a few things, that's all." Mina said with a sheepish grin as they made their way inside and started window shopping,
"Yeah yeah, you were thinking about Midoriya again weren't you?" Toru says as she throws an arm around Mina's shoulder. "Yeah, he's actually helping me study later this evening. I told him my grades aren't the best and he quickly offered to help." MIna says with a happy smile on her face. Truth is, her grades are fine. She's not at the top of her class or anything, but she's certainly not failing or struggling at the present time. She just needed a way to spend time with the green haired hero.
Mina had begun to feel different about Izuku ever since the Sport Festival in their first year. She had watched his match with Todoroki quite closely. What baffled her the most was that Izuku could've won the match, and possibly the entire tournament. Somewhere along the way though, he quit fighting and started yelling at Todoroki to use his fire power. That resulted in him being completely blown out of the ring and losing the match when their hot and cold classmate finally did get serious. She had later figured out why through various means. Mostly it was just Toru gossiping about what she has heard when no one had noticed that she was around.
Knowing that he threw the match for Todoroki, to help him realize that even though his fire quirk came from his father, that it wasn't his fathers fire power. That struck a cord with Mina. She was impressed. They had never really talked much, but after that, Mina had seen to it that they became close acquaitences, and eventually friends. Mina's feelings for the green haired boy had also grown over that time. She was comfortable saying that she had a crush on the boy. However, the only person who knew about it so far was her invisible friend who was currently waving her hands in front of her face trying to get the pink girls attention.
"Hellooo, Mina, you still with me? Honestly, you daydream too much these days." Toru said with a light hearted giggle. "You thinking about him again?" Toru asks, thoroughly enjoying the magenta blush spreading across Mina's cheeks. "Something tells me you aren't going to his dorm just to study are you?" She continues taunting with some light nudges of her elbow.
At the implications of her friends statement Mina's blushing spread at a rapid rate. "I'm not really going over there to study no. I want to know what he thinks of me. If he sees me as just a friend or if there could be more to our relationship." Mina said as they sat down for a bite to eat before they continued shopping. "So, what are you going to do then?" Hagakure said before taking a sip of her drink. It always amused Mina to watch the drink empty as it just floats there in the air. "I don't know just yet. I've thought about just asking him out, but I don't know if he even realizes I like him. I mean, I've only told you but it's not exactly like I'm subtle." The pink haired girl said as she ran her fingers through her hair and hooked one on her horn, tugging on it in a nervous habit.
The two girls finished their meals and started browsing through other stores that piqued their interest. Toru went looking for clothes while Mina accompanied her, then the same in reverse when Mina walked into music and multimedia stores. The two had spent a couple hours just talking as they browsed. Most of their conversation involved Mina's current plight with her crush.
"You better get moving Mina. Aren't you supposed to meet him at 2? It's one thirty." Toru says pointing out a clock that was hanging in the store. "Crap, I'm gonna be late. I got to go. Bye Toru, wish me luck." Mina said as she dashes out of the store leaving Toru behind. Toru just stands there watching her friend leave, silently wishing her luck before leaving the store and going back to clothes shopping.
Mina ran down the street from the mall towards UA High where she lived in the dorms with the rest of Class 1-A. They'd been there together since the villain attack on their Training Camp earlier that summer. "I spent to much time talking to Toru. Of all the times for me to be late, it had to be today." Mina said as she darted through alleyways to get to her destination as quickly as possible.
Turning a corner she ran face first into a metal bat that someone had stuck out the corner hoping to get her. As she stumbled back dazed she felt a sharp kick to the side. This caused her to go flying into the wall of the alley. Opening her eyes from her place on the ground she barely makes out a figure standing over her. As her vision starts to adjust she feels a needle stick in her neck and something being injected into her. "What the hell did you just do to me?" Mina says as she puts a hand up to her neck and prepares to through her deadliest acid at her attackers.
However, no acid came, she just sat there looking at her arm wide eyed and in terror. If she couldn't use her acid, how was she going to defend herself against these thugs. She gets up ready to fight anyway. Jumping at the guy with a kick he easily dodges in her groggy state. "What's going on? Why can't I use my quirk?!" She says in a mix of anger and fear that she tries her best to keep from showing.
"Thats just a little something our boss came up with. You won't be able to use your quirk again for some time. It's not as potent as the permanent version, but you won't be throwing any acid for about a week." Her attacker said with a sinister grin as he backed the pink haired heroine into a corner. Looking around Mina saw no way out of this. She wished Izuku were here. He'd be able to figure a way out of this, he was a great strategist. In one last desperate effort, Mina threw another kick straight up hoping to hit the guy where it hurts, However he catches her foot with ease.
"Hahaha, gonna have to do better than that little girl!" He pulls her leg forward knocking her off balance and causing her to fall back hitting her head on the wall behind her before hitting in on the ground. Another needle in her neck and things start fading. She continued to struggle as she lost her light and passed out. Her last thoughts on the green haired boy that she didn't even get to tell how she felt.
Izuku was pacing back and forth in his room for the last hour. He was worried about his friend that was supposed to be there to study with him. It was nothing new for Mina to be late. Aizawa sensei had gotten on to her about it multiple times. However, she was never more than a half an hour late. They were supposed to meet up at 2pm in Midoriya's room. It was currently 5:40pm. Deciding it wasn't going to do any good for him to keep pacing he leaves his dorm, hoping to figure out where she's been. As he makes his way to the elevators that will take him down to the lobby he tries to calm himself.
As he walks into the common area shared by his class he sees two of his best friends, Tenya Iida and Ochako Uraraka. They were both having a conversation, seemingly about whatever show they were currently watching on TV. Uraraka ntoices Midoriya's presence and calls out to him. "Deku! What are you doing down here, already finished studying with Mina?" She asks her friend as he comes over and has a seat by them.
"No, I haven't even seen her today. She was supposed to be back by 2 o' clock so I could help her with some things. Have either of you two seen her?" He asks, hoping that she just forgot and he's worrying over nothing. "I'm afraid not Midoriya. I haven't seen Ashido since she left with Hagakure this morning." Iida says with a shake of his head. Izuku looks at him then looks down at the ground before saying "Something isn't right about this. Her being late is nothing new but to just not show up? I checked her room she isn't there. I'm worried about her guys."
Ochako looks at her friend with a worried expression. She and Iida both knew how Izuku felt about the horned girl. Ever since they became closer friends last year Delu had developed feelings for Mina. She also knew that he had finaly worked up the courage to ask her out during their study session tonight. Anybody who knew him knew that this was a big deal for him. It took him a couple weeks before he could even talk to Uraraka without stuttering, and they were just friends.
"I'm sure she's alright Deku. Mina is tough, if something did happen I'm sure she'd be able to handle it." She said in a soothing tone and she placed her hand on his shoulder. Looking up he saw Toru make her way into the dorms accompanied by Jirou Kyouka on one side and Momo Yaoyorozu on the other. "Hagakure, could you come here real quick?" Izuku called out from his place on the couch. "Do you know where Ashido is? We were supposed to study together and she hasn't shown up." Izuku says catching the invisible girl off guard.
"What do you mean she hasn't shown up?! She left me at the mall at 1:30 in a mad dash to get here." Hagakure says as she sits opposite Uraraka with the other two girls to her right. "Hold on, let me call her." She says as she pulls out her phone and dials the number waiting for it to start ringing.
One ring... Two rings... Three rings... "Hi, you've reached Mina, sorry I can't answer right now. Leave me a message and I'll get back to you!"
"Well that's not good." Toru says as she hangs up the phone. "Got her voicemail." Hearing that Izuku darts out of the dorm building, sprinting in the direction of the mall that Mina had gone to that morning looking for any sign somewhere of the pink haired girl. He would find her, he had to.
MIna awoke in a lot of pain. The last thing she remember was running through the alleys to get back to the dorm when she was attacked. She tried to make out her surroundings but the room she was in wasn't lit very well at all. She could feel her hands bound above her head in metal cuffs securing her to the wall that she was currently standing against. "This isn't good, where the hell am I?" She says to no one as she looks around. "Time to melt these cuffs and get out of here." She tries to secrete acid only to be shocked when it doesn't work, that's when she remembers the injections that had been forced on her.
'That's right, that guy gave me some kind of drug, he said I wouldn't be able to use my acid for about a week. That's not good either.' She thinks starting to worry for her situation. Where was she, who took her, why did they take her. These were questions she needed the answer to. She didn't even know what time it was, though judging from the window in her makeshift cell, it was already dark. Before she could ponder her situation more the door across the room opened and two men entered.
"Ah good, you're awake! I was worried they went overboard and killed another one." A man of average height with short black hair and bloodshot eyes spoke as he approached Mina. He was wearing a black shirt with a white tie, on his face was an orange mask reminiscent of an old plague doctor. "This one will do nicely, she'll fetch quite a high price. Although, I thought I told those idiots no UA kids, they'll notice her missing by dinner time if they haven't already. Get her ready, we'll need to move her soon to avoid her being found. Take her to the other safe house in 3 days." He says to the other shorter man as he turns to make his leave.
"As you wish sir." The shorter man in a white lab coat says as he approaches Mina and starts giving her what appears to be a medical exam. "The drug works so nicely, you can't even use that quirk of yours to break out can you?" He says witha laugh as he checks her over. "This isn't going to work you assholes. My friends will come find me. You guys will be caught, the pros should be here in no time." Mina says defiantly but deflates a little when her captor starts laughing harder. "What's so damn funny?" She yells at him.
"Oh, my apologies, it's just I hear that same phrase so often that it's laughable to me how many people can think of the same incorrect statements. No one is coming to save you, once moved to the new location, you'll be given a version of the drug that will take your quirk away permanently. Even if you are rescued by some small chance you won't be able to be a hero anymore." He says as he looks Mina up and down. "Who knows, with the way you look, I might just buy you myself." Getting close to her face and grabbing her breast tightly he speaks driectly into her ear. "I can think of lots of ways to use you." With that he turns and leaves the room, leaving Mina to process what just happend.
As soon as the door shuts Mina starts struggling. Trying with all her might to get off of this wall so she can escape. When she realizes after a few minutes that the restraints aren't going anywhere she starts to panic. How dare that disgusting thing touch her like that. What exactly did he mean by "ways to use her?" Her eyes widened as she remembered a story that she heard on the news recently. Young girls betweent he ages of 15-22 from her area had been disappearing left and right, authority figures believe they were taken captive to be sold as sex slaves in a prostitution ring. Is that what this was?
She lets herself hang there limp as she thinks about her siutation. She doesn't know where she is, and she can't get out of these restraints. She has 3 days before she's moved to another unknown location and given a permanent version fo the drug that took her quirk away. From there she was going to be sold as what she assumed was a sex slave. That is a life that she does not want. She has to get out of here, she has to help any other girls that are being held her against their will. Most importantly, she has to see Izuku, to tell him everything that she wants to. She hangs her head as tears begin to fall from her eyes and she thinks about her crush. 'Please Izuku... I know you'll notice i'm gone...Please hurry.' Before she can think any further she falls asleep out of pure exhaustion and fright.
