I don't know where they take me, the police are ready waiting with vans to cart the criminals off. They keep me separate and use reassuring words as they force me into the van. The doors slam and I'm by myself, my heart pounds as the van starts jolting me sideways in my seat. My arms ache in Sero's tape, I can only hope that Shigaraki will come back for me…
The van journey isn't long, the doors crack open letting in a wave of blinding light.
"Come on kid."
Instead of an officer a pro hero stands in the Light. I immediately recognise him as Pro Hero and UA teacher Snipe. He dons a red cloak and has a gas mask like thing on his head. I see no point in fighting at this time. I wouldn't be able to win. I stumble a little as I push myself up, the tape only goes around my chest so I'm able to walk. To my surprise I find us still on UA ground and walking to a bunker. I frown, I haven't seen this place before. The door slides open and we step into a small room. The doors shut and start to descend.
It's not long before we stop. We step out, he guides me forward.
"This place is a bunch of underground classrooms, we don't use them now but we used to use them for really strong quirks. There's no breaking out of here Kid."
It's true that even if I got out of whatever cell they put me in I wouldn't be able to get above ground again. He stands by a door,
"This is yours kid, we'll deal with you in the morning."
He pulls the door open revealing a dimly lit room the size of our classroom. My heart falters remembering the room that I'd been locked in for so long… I shake my head back stepping.
"No…"
I plead, I can't read his facial expression as he lets out an exasperated breath and pushes me forward. The door clangs shut, my panic is instant. The air is heavy and suffocating, I thrash taking a good minute to break out of the tape and punching the door. It forms a small dent but otherwise stays unharmed. My breathing becomes heavy as I backstep, my back bumps into the wall and I slip to the floor. I try to calm my breathing and try to tame my racing breath, I need to think of a way out of here. I curl up and squeeze my eyes shut, I try to imagine myself any place but here. The only thing that comes to mind is my bed at home…
I somehow ended up drifting off to sleep, I'm awoken by the sound of the door opening. I look up lazily, still slowed by sleep. I snap to attention when I'm met by All Might, I immediately jump to my feet taking an offensive position.
"Hey, calm down Young Midoriya. No one is going to hurt you here."
He tries to reassure me with his loudly annoying and booming voice, the door shuts again and the principal walks out from behind him.
"We need to ask you some things Midoriya-Kun. But first please sit back down."
The last thing I want to do is sit and let myself be completely open to someone like All Might, but in this situation I have no choice but to comply. I grudgingly sit, as I do one of the wall panels slide open revealing a window to a smaller room.
"As a first thought, there's no point in trying to escape Midoriya-Kun, we have heroes stationed here to keep you safe."
To keep me safe huh? I hold back my scoff and continue to glare at the both of them levelly.
"Where were you when you disappeared Midoriya-Kun?"
Seems the principal is the only one asking questions, I guess that makes All Might the intimidating muscle to get me to answer. I won't give them the satisfaction. I stare at them with my mouth fully closed, my resolution resolved. They won't get anything out of me. They try a few more times asking me different questions but eventually leave when they realise I won't talk.
I spend most of the day sitting by myself, I can only wait for the league to come and get me… I can only hope that they will. I'm not sure how much time passes before light fills the small room. I glance up, Uraraka and Iida walk into the room. Uraraka fixes her eyes on me, they fill with tears as comes close to the glass. I grit my teeth and return my gaze to the floor,
"Deku-Kun…"
Her voice is loud in the room, there must be a speaker in here. Her voice is deeply regretful,
"I'm sorry Deku-Kun… We couldn't help you… It was scary…"
Her voice hitches,
"As your friend I should have realised. You were acting strange yesterday. If i could have intervened we could have avoided this… I'm sorry…"
Iida's voice comes through the speaker, as formal and uptight as ever. I ignore the both of them, though I do feel a little guilty as I do. Uraraka sounds so genuinely concerned… And Iida so sure of our friendship even though I thought I'd done my best to distance myself from people. What a cruel fate this is. Uraraka states at me for a long time before excusing herself.
A couple other people from class visit, all sharing whatever words they think can bring me back, break whatever control they think the league has over me. I deal with them all in the same manner.
The next day no one comes to see me in the morning, or the afternoon. The odd meal is slid into the door but I see nobody for a good portion of the day. I prefer it to the guilt that eats me alive. The light flickers on in the room, I glance sideways expecting more pitiful classmates and freeze when I find myself faced with Kacchan. I jump up and rush to the glass to stand face to face with him. He isn't fazed of course and fixes me with a scowl.
"I came to see how pathetic you are. So weak a mind that you let villains control you."
He snaps,
"I already told you Kacchan. This is me, the me that you created. It's not my fault if you don't like your own creation."
I laugh a little at the thought, Kacchan looks a little baffled, the expression is so odd on his face that I can't stop my laughter, I double over and grab my stomach.
"You're fucking crazy."
"I know… It's hilarious…"
The laughter is almost hysterical now, it's cut short when a thought enters my head.
Get down.
I quickly drop to the floor as the back wall is blasted open, smoke drifts from the opening framing a woman. Her cloak billows behind her, she smirks.
"Guten Tag my little doll…"
