"You want to infiltrate Shigaraki's Villain Alliance?" Shina stared at Todoroki with disbelief, "You're crazy."

"I've already heard that earlier today."

"Then that person is smart or maybe you're just dumb. With a plan like this, I'm not quite sure."

"Yuuei kept this quiet but the traitor you told me about before…forced students to take Trigger and they attacked my class. So this is a risk I'm willing to take."

"They attacked your class?"

"It must have been a message to All Might. I can't afford anything to happen to The Symbol of Peace. I can't afford anything to happen to my classmates."

"Is this how all heroes think?" Shina began to mock him. "Save my friends, save my family. Sacrifice myself if it means their happiness. It's so self-righteous that I might mistake those intentions for selfishness. But it's none of my business to interfere with the actions of a wannabe self-righteous hero."

"So, is that a yes?" Yukihira became annoyed with her tone.

"Yes. If you want, I can set it up right now."

"N-now?" Suddenly Yukihira's heart rate increased, his fingers felt numb and cold. He broke out in a cold sweat. The plan he felt confident in now felt real.

"Yeah. Today is my observation report with Shigaraki. Can't say I'm excited to say the least."

Kurogiri warped himself before the Trigger dealer Shina and the vigilante Yukihira. He stood composed, showing no sign of a reaction to the unexpected guest side by side with Shina.

"Shall we get going?" Kurogiri ignored the presence of Yukihira and went straight to business.

"Can he come along?" Shina referred to Yukihira.

"I have no objections. Whether there's a use for him or not is for Shigaraki to decide." Kurogiri politely bowed his head. "Good luck."

"Good luck? I don't like the sound of that."

Todoroki entered Kurogiri's portal, following behind Shina. On the other side of the portal was a rundown warehouse. Todoroki recognized the person leaning against the wall. The sluggish posture, creepy grin hiding behind a creepy hand. Without a doubt it was Shigaraki, anticipating Shina's arrival.

Todoroki scanned around the warehouse for the other villains working beside Shigaraki. There stood a man in a full body suit who looked a bit reserved to himself. Next, a petite, playful looking blonde girl wearing a terrifying mask, sitting with her legs sprawled out and shaking her legs. Lastly, Todoroki saw a familiar face, one he had confronted back during the school field trip. The young man with purple, wrinkly skin and stitches that looked like they kept his body together from crumbling apart.

"Dabi."

His aura and his glare threatened Todoroki. It was a good thing he was wearing his vigilante costume because if Dabi knew who Yukihira was under the mask, he would have attacked him right then and there. In the past, he and Dabi had fought against one another, with Todoroki struggling to keep up. Dabi's flames were more powerful, fearsome than his and could melt his ice almost instantly. If there was anyone who had to be wary of, it was Dabi. Shigaraki on the other hand, paid little attention to the fact that Shina had brought a guest.

"Yo Shina, your report on Trigger?"

"Here." Shina handed him a written, typed report bided together by a single paper clip. As usual, the report would be riddled with the small, clumsy errors that any average high school student would make.

"Kurogiri." Shigaraki would then chuck the report at Kurogiri for him to summarize because he'd be too lazy to interpret and understand it himself.

Kurogiri sighed as he graciously received the report from his leader. Not like Kurogiri particularly enjoyed reading the reports himself but someone had to do it.

"You can go now." Shigaraki shooed her away.

"That's it? That didn't even take a minute. I expected their meetings to be longer." Todoroki spoke up. "Wait, I have something to say!

"Hah? Something to say? I thought you were a guard hired by Shina to protect her…from me." Between the fingers of the creepy hand on Shigaraki's face. You could see his eyes were filled with joy from the thought that someone feared him.

Todoroki glanced over towards Shina. Her expressions were a closed book but her fingers which were hidden from all eyes except for Todoroki's, kept twitching and shaking.

"Protection from Shigaraki? Shina? Now that I'm face to face with him, he really is as crazy as everyone says." "I'd much rather be one of your guards than Shina's. I want to join the League of Villains." From the mask of his vigilante attire, Todoroki's single revealed eye bulged out to match Shigaraki's insanity.

"Interesting. But how do I know you're the real deal?"

"But at this moment, I'll be just as crazy as he is."

Todoroki stomped his right foot and from there, ice flew out in every direction. All members of the League were on red alert and as the ice rocketed towards them. Shigaraki touched the ice and it decayed before him. Kurogiri opened up a portal. Dabi formed flames to melt the ice. Toga back flipped away and Twice brought out his sharp measuring tapes from his wristbands to carve the ice away. Every person there, including Shina stood aggressively with intimidating stares directed towards Todoroki. By the end of it, the entire room transformed into a glacial cave.

"Hahaha!" Except for Shigaraki. "Nice, that was fantastic!" He couldn't contain his laughter as he applauded the display that this unexpected visitor gave him.

"The balls on this kid." Twice spat. He had the urge to split but tried his best to remain himself.

Shigaraki spread his arms out, welcoming Todoroki with open arms. "We've been lacking some manpower since Magne's unfortunate death. Welcome. You've impressed me with that move. But if you pull something like that again, against your comrades then I won't let it slide."

"I've been taking down Trigger buyers, trying to get your attention. Glad that I finally have it."

"That was you? People have been calling you a vigilante."

"Heheh, I sure did a good job of fooling them." Todoroki was lying through his teeth but made an attempt to sound as convincing as possible. He tried his best to play the villain that Shigaraki wanted him to be. Trying his best to fool Shigaraki and all the other villains in the room.

"He plays a better villain than he does a hero…" Shina kept her distance from the conversation.

Shigaraki's grinned widely, showing all his teeth. "I like it. I know a thing or two about fooling people."

Shigaraki referencing his spy within Yuuei ranks. Todoroki wanted to remain on the same wavelength as Shigaraki but his lips trembled and his expression became a mix between anger and smug. The other members let out a light chuckled because some of them were also spies within Overhaul's ranks.

"Everyone has their reasons for being here." Shigaraki proceeded to place a comforting hand on Todoroki's shoulder. "You have nothing to fear. As long as we are under my leadership, you and every other person here is special."

"What did he say…?"

"So, I'm not going to ask you to take off your mask. It's a part of you, your identity, I get it. It takes time, it takes trust but…I'll be waiting for the day that you show what's underneath."

"He's being…nice? No. This is Shigaraki we're talking about. He's a lunatic, hell bent on killing All Might and bring to the world to its knees. But the way he talks, his charismatic vibe, the way he draws you in. It's just like…Midoriya."

"But you, Shina. You're not special. Of course, if you join me, that could easily change. I may even consider ranking you above Himiko."

"Hey! I'll stab her one day!" Himiko flailed, dangerously swinging her knife around.

"I dunno how many times I gotta tell you this but I'm not a villain and I don't plan to ever be one!" Shigaraki's invitation rattled Shina that she spoke informally and less polite than usual. "I'm not a villain and I'm not a villain. I'm a mercenary~"

"A mercenary who has aligned herself with the League of Villains, you're pretty much one of us." Todoroki joined in on the conversation.

"One of us? You're a Yuuei student and the son of the new number 1 hero!"

"One of us? This guy literally joined a minute ago." Dabi stood with his back against the wall, playing around with his flames and melting down any ice near him.

"Hey, play nice with the new kid. Who knows, he could be a cutie under that mask~hehe." Himiko playfully waved her fingers at Todoroki. "Who knows, if you spend enough time together you could become brothers~"

"Brothers? I'm not really a fan of families." Dabi started to walk away from the entire commotion to do his own thing.

Himiko leaped onto Dabi's back with her arms wrapped over his shoulders. She was a petite girl but with effort, she dragged Dabi, having him struggle to walk. "Whaaaat? You mean you don't see me as your irresistibly adorable little sister?"

"…Weird. I guess even villains can be human sometimes." Todoroki took a deep breath, staring at his new companions. He had gone and successfully infiltrated the Villain Alliance but just standing in their presence took all of us his willpower to not crack under pressure. "I think I'm about done here. I'm ready to leave, Kurogiri."

"You're here? I've been looking for you everywhere."

After being unable to stop Todoroki from his absurd plan to infiltrate the League of Villains, Yaoyorozu had gone searching for someone else she thought could get through to him, Hitoshi Shinsou. She searched across Yuuei's campus, asking teachers and students on his whereabouts with no information to help. She had just assumed he wasn't anywhere near Yuuei so she headed back to the dorms to rest and there she found him, chatting it up with Jirou.

"Me? What do ya want?" Shinsou didn't interact with Yaoyorozu often but when he did, it often had to do with one other person, Todoroki.

Yaoyorozu took time to catch her breath. It kind of upset her that after searching everywhere, he was as close as could be.

"I have something to tell you. It's important."

"Oh my god, a confession?" Jirou stared innocently at her two friends, alternating between them to see their reactions and expressions. "Maybe that's why he always wants to hang out at the dorms? It must make his day just to get a glimpse of Yaoyorozu's beautiful figure. All that stalking has finally paid off. Good luck, Shinsou!" It almost brought a tear to Jirou's eye. If Shinsou knew how oblivious Jirou was, he'd be the one shedding tears.

"It's about Todoroki."

"Oh no. Poor Shinsou. I'm sorry but against someone like him, you stand no chance at winning her heart."

Shinsou sighed, "No surprise there, of course it is."

"You must be tired to have the person you like, rambling on about another guy. Hang in there. Fight on!"

Yaoyorozu glimpsed over at Jirou whose ears had perked up. "Can we talk somewhere in private?"

"Huh? Oh…yeah." Shinsou had a new idea of what Yaoyorozu would want to talk about. He and Todoroki were vigilantes and the only person that knew this fact was none other than Yaoyorozu. He tapped Jirou's shoulder before following Yaoyorozu, "I'll be back in a second."

Jirou waved him away getting ready to tease him, "Don't worry about it, take your time. But don't get any strange thoughts just because you'll be alone with a girl."

"I don't have strange thoughts when I'm with you."

Jirou blushed at his comment, "Wha- Nghhhh." She held her body tightly and jerked it in the other direction. "The way he says it so nonchalantly! First Mineta, then Kaminari, now him! I know I'm a tomboy but do I have ZERO sex appeal?!"

"After you." Being the gentleman that he is, let Yaoyorozu lead the way.

Yaoyorozu tried to determine a spot to talk but she had been walking all day and wanted to stay close. It made her really uncomfortable to invite Shinsou to her room, especially with Shinsou's quirk being what it is but the topic of conversation needed privacy, away from lurking ears.

"After a comment like that, there's no way I wouldn't take this chance to obtain some spicy information." Jirou expected the conversation to be about love and with or without their permission, she wanted in on the details but only so she would have the upper hand to tease him.

Jirou knew they would head up to Yaoyorozu's room. It was the best place to have an intimate, private conversation. She was familiar with the layout of the dorms. Jirou's room was on the third floor, Uraraka's above hers and Yaoyorozu's room directly above floors above Uraraka's room. She headed towards her own room, stuck her earphone jack through the wall, past Uraraka's room extended the jack to her limits and planted it in a spot where it would go unnoticed.

Inside Yaoyorozu's room, Shinsou tried to keep his distance as far from Yaoyorozu as possible. She sat with both hands on her lap and dignified posture and Shinsou stood sluggishly with his back against the wall and hands in his pockets.

"Hurry up and get this over with. It's my first time in a girl's room and this is weird."

"Y-your first time? Oh gosh, I didn't mean to intrude. My apologies for stealing that experience from you."

"J-just hurry up! Out with it!" Shinsou became flustered, almost tripping over his words.

"Right. Down to business. Are you aware what Todoroki's up to today?"

"Not really. To be honest, he hasn't even talked to me since the attack from Class B. I thought it was a bit strange but it doesn't bother me one bit. Life has been pretty peaceful when he's off doing his own thing."

"Oh he's off doing his own thing, no need to remind me!" Yaoyorozu's blood boiled. It wasn't Shinsou's fault but she felt the need to lash out at someone. "He's…He's…"

"Is Todoroki meeting up with another girl on the side? I mean, Momo and Todoroki aren't dating…I don't think. So I wouldn't exactly be considering it cheating." Jirou misinterpreted the situation at hand, assuming they were on the topic of love.

Yaoyorozu caught her breath,"I can't say that's being suspected of being the traitor because if Shinsou does happen to be-…"

"He thinks I'm the traitor. Because Class B looked like they were brainwashed. Is that it?"

"Th-that's part of it."

"Part? You mean there's more?"

"Oi oi…what in the world?" Jirou remained with her her ears glued to the wall. She stumbled upon something more important than matters of love.

"He must be feeling guilty over suspecting all of his friends. He's become desperate to learn the identity of the traitor."

"How desperate are we talking here?"

"He's trying to infiltrate the Villain Alliance as Yukihira."

"…Haha…" Shinsou laughed awkwardly. He didn't know whether it was a joke or not. "Ridiculous." He shuffled around in a circle before regained his position against the wall. "You're lying." He stared at Yaoyorozu biting her bottom lip, holding her breath. "You're…not lying."

She closed her eye shuts, shaking her head regretfully. "No."

"Then Todoroki is a goddamn fucking idiot. He would rather do…that, than confront me about being the traitor. He's going to get himself killed. I've heard things. The leader is a psycho who has not only successfully kidnapped Bakugou under Yuuei supervision but has been groomed by the same guy who went toe to toe with All Might. Even when I become a hero, I don't ever want a mission involving him.

Yaoyorozu sat silently as she stared off at the wallpaper of her room. It had been on her mind all day.

"I've seen him before on multiple occasions. He's every bit of scary as you think he is."

"We have to stop him." Shinsou looked ready to make a run for it.

"It's too late, he's probably already meeting with them."

"Or he's…" Shinsou refrained from saying that last bit. This ordeal took a lot out of Yaoyorozu, he didn't need to make things worse. "We'll save him."

"We're not strong enough. I'm not strong enough."

"We'll tell the teachers."

"If they learn what he's been doing his entire time he'll be expelled from Yuuei."

"If they learn what I've been doing, they'll expel me from Yuuei and I'd rather that than the worse case scenario."

Yaoyorozu paused, thinking long and hard about what to do. It was choices like these that would determine those fit to be a hero. "If I accepted Todoroki's wishes and he got hurt, could I ever call myself a hero? Could I ever look myself in the mirror, knowing I could have done something?" Yaoyorozu's had a stern expression, she looked determined and confident in her response, "We'll tell sensei."

"What? No. What? WHAT? I totally did not expect any of that!" Jirou backed away from the wall and balanced herself from tumbling over. "Todoroki is Yukihira? And Shinsou is also Yukihira?! So they've been practicing heroics as a vigilante? When neither of them have licenses?"

Jirou paced around the room, taking deep breath to calm down and absorb the information she eavesdropped. But she couldn't calm down, not in her room. She tripped as she opened the door to the hallway, crashing against a wall.

"Do I confront them? But then they've know I listened in without their permission. Do I tell sensei? But then Todoroki and Shinsou could be expelled."

"Whoa, Jirou. Are you okay? You don't look great." Kaminari munched on a granola bar that he had stashed in his room on his way down to the common floor to get more snacks but backtracked when he heard a thud coming from the girls' hallway.

"I came across something I shouldn't have." Jirou slowly started to lose feeling in her legs. "I don't know what to do with this information."

"Huh? Information? If ya want, I'd lend an ear, hear you out. Sometimes just saying it will make you feel better."

"An idiot like you…? Why not? Can you keep a secret?" The air around Jirou felt heavy and she desperately wanted to lift the weight off her shoulders.

Kaminari winked as he jabbed his thumb to his chest, "Heh, I'd like to think I'm pretty good at that."

Jirou took a good look at the idiot standing before her, "I find that hard to believe but I have to share this with someone. Now listen up because what I'm going to tell you, stays between us."

Yaoyorozu and Shinsou had gone in search of Aizawa to no avail, he probably just fell asleep somewhere no one would bother him. They went to the next teacher, who had considerable influence and barged into his personal staff room.

"All Might!" Shinsou and Yaoyorozu charged in, yelling at the same time.

They walked in to find Midoriya with his head drooped down, in another one of his consultation sessions with All Might holding a coffee mug in hand.

"Oh…sorry." Yaoyorozu apologized but stayed in the room. "But this is extremely important. It's about the vigilante Yukihira." Yaoyorozu tried to keep Todoroki's name out of this but Midoriya's ears perked up at the mention of that name.

"What a coincidence, we were here talking about Yukihira. Isn't that right, my boy?"

Midoriya nodded in agreement, "Yeah." He continued on with his story. "Sir Nighteye, the boss of my internship gave an order to capture him and if that's not possible…to kill him."

"That…" Shinsou hesitated to open up, telling them about Todoroki would mean exposing himself in illegal heroic activities but it was the right thing to do. "That would mean killing-…"

"You can't!" Yaoyorozu cried out as she interrupted, "You can't kill him! Because the person underneath Yukihira's mask…is Todoroki!"

"W-what?!" Toshinori sat there, shocked. "I knew I had a reason to be worried. But to turn to vigilantism. It is my responsibility as a teacher to set students on the proper path to being a hero. He came to me, confided in me and somewhere along the way he must have thought it would be okay to go against the law. This…this is all my fault, I had the power to stop this."

"It's not your fault, All Might. I don't want to be the one to say this, but no matter what you did, I don't think your words would be able to sway Todoroki." Midoriya tried to comfort his mentor.

"What's that supposed to mean, Midoriya?!" Yaoyorozu looked down on him from her seat.

Suddenly he was on the hot seat, "Uh, well, you see. Ummmm. I didn't mean anything bad about Todoroki. It's just…Sir is on the hunt for him for a reason and just earlier today, I saw him come to the defense of a Trigger dealer. You know, Trigger, the drug that caused Class B to turn on us? She could have intel on what happened that day."

"Yeah, her intel is that it's the spy working with the Villain Alliance!" Shinsou told him.

"A…spy?" Midoriya is now officially lost.

"Wait, you never heard anything about a spy?" Yaoyorozu looked lost herself, in the back of her mind All Might seemed close enough to tell Midoriya everything.

"You two know about the spy as well?!" Toshinori's teeth chattered, his eyes darted around the room, he knew there would be some explaining to do and some secrets to expose. "I think now would be a good time to tell each other everything we know."

"Yes." The three students agreed.

Yaoyorozu and Shinsou had scooped up a chair lying in the room and got comfortable. A good hour passed as they all told their perspective stories and by the end of it, Midorya had learned the most.

"So let me get this straight." Midoriya proceeded to list each point, finger by finger. "Todoroki is the vigilante Yukihira. You, Shinsou, are his partner in crime."

"I don't like to think of it as a 'crime'."

"There is a high chance that a first year student within Class A is a traitor who works for Shigaraki's team and to find out who that person is, Todoroki himself is spying on them. He can only infiltrate thanks to that Trigger dealer named Shina, who also works with Shigaraki."

"For. Shina works for Shigaraki." Shinsou clarified any mistakes Midoriya made. "If I recall, she doesn't consider herself a villain nor a member of the Villain Alliance."

"Right…"

"Don't forget, that you want to kill Todoroki!" If glares could kill, then Yaoyorozu would have already killed Deku.

"W-w-what? No! Just because Sir has orders, does not mean I follow them blindly. Yaoyorozu, you have it all wrong, I would never kill anyone. That goes against my beliefs as a hero! It was always my intention to capture him alive, him being Todoroki doesn't change a thing."

"That better be the truth…or else I'll make sure Uraraka never talks to you again."

"H-h-h-huh?! W-w-what were you planning?"

Yaoyorozu leaned forward. Her mouth close to his ear that he felt the light breath from her mouth as she whispered. "Like say…brand you a glorified pervert by replicating a pair of her panties and stashing it in your room."

"U-Uraraka's…panties?" Midoriya's eyes widen, his face turned red and his nostrils flared from the mere thought. "Y-you wouldn't dare place me in the same group as Mineta!"

"Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. As long as you don't harm Todoroki, there's no need to worry."

"Ahem." Toshinori cleared his throat. "Focus everyone. You say Todoroki is meeting with Shigaraki today. Which means he may very well be in grave danger as we speak. But if we don't know where they are. We can't send help."

"I planted a tracker on him before he headed out." Yaoyorozu handed the former #1 hero a GPS device which displayed Todoroki's location.

"I see." He scanned the details of Todoroki's location. "If we follow this device here, then he would be in the vicinity of an abandoned factory. A perfect hideout for villains if I do say so myself." He looked around the room, reading the worried faces of his students. Toshinori may have retired the All Might name but the embers of his heroic spirit will never burn out. "If we calm down and think rationally, Todoroki's plan may have worked and he'll walk out safe and sound."

Shinsou cracked his knuckles, "Heheh, if only that were the case. Then we'll give him a thorough lesson."

"But…" Toshinori took a dramatic pause, "My instincts tell me that Todoroki is in grave danger. I believe that we should prepare for the worse case scenario. Young Shinsou, Yaoyorozu I need you two to inform the staff. Midoriya and I will head out first and rendezvous on the outer perimeter of the factory." He pointed where he meant on the GPS device, which was a safe spot about 10 blocks away, far enough to avoid drawing Shigaraki's attention.

"You're coming along?! But All Might…you can no longer…" At this very moment, Midoriya could feel the power his mentor passed down to him, the same power that his mentor could no longer use. He heard the quote, 'With great power comes great responsibility.' Now, more than ever, did Midoriya take those words to heart. The pressure of being unable to rely on All Might had become normal to him and it made him sick to his stomach.

"I need to have a word with Todoroki. He believes that he should carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. A failure of this caliber would be downright humiliating. He'd be afraid of his punishment he'd receive for initiating such a plan and for being a vigilante. That is why, even if we rescue him, he may not be so cooperative. I can't help but take some of the blame for his actions. But…"

"Yeah, yeah, no need to nag me, Dad."

"I could have sworn young Todoroki said…"

"You must see me as a father figure. That's why, I believe… you'll listen to what I have to say and if you listen to what I have to say, then you will make the right choice and you won't run away." Toshinori turned his attention to Midoriya and rubbed his student's shaggy hair, "Besides, I trust you Midoriya my boy. With you at my side, I can rest assured that you'll protect me from anything and anyone. Hahaha!"

"Yeah but…"

"I'll try my best not to be a burden."

Yaoyorozu clapped her hands to get the attention of the room, "We're wasting time. Let us hurry, for Todoroki's sake!"

"Now, now. Leaving already? What's all the rush?" Shigaraki cackled. "We should hold a party for our newest member."

Todoroki was about ready to leave through Kurogiri's portal when Shigaraki put a halt to those plans after receiving a phone call. Todoroki had had it here, he wanted to leave. The longer he stayed here, the easier it'd be to break him down.

"Sorry Shigaraki, but I have somewhere I have to be." Todoroki tried to make an excuse to escape.

"Somewhere you have to be? You can't even make time for me, when I so graciously made time for an unexpected visitor like you?" Shigaraki seemed a bit ticked off. He had turned from a friendly leader to an aggressive tyrant after that phone call.

"I…I…I"

"I…I…I" Shigaraki mocked the stammering Todoroki. "Are you going to finish that sentence, are you just wasting my time or are you shitting your pants right now?"

Todoroki tried to start a conversation with Shina through eye contact, "What the hell happened to Shigaraki?" His left leg was shaking nonstop, he kept tickling his own knee, any habitual reaction to calm down.

Shina's face was an open book. The worried, scared, open eyed expression she had on, an expression one would make if they had indeed learned they shit their pants. All she could did is shrug her shoulders as a response.

"Hey!" Shigaraki poked the forehead of Todoroki, "Look at me when I ask you a question. Because if you don't, the next time I poke your forehead, you may just find it slowly crumbling away."

Todoroki nervousness had caused a sweat drop to fall onto Shigaraki's finger, but that didn't bother either of them. "You…you know, don't you?"

"No…oh no. No no no no no." The colour had dropped from Shina's face.

"Uh oh, did Yukihira go all stabby stabby on Shigaraki before?" Himiko stared on as an innocent but eager spectator.

"Have they met before? Who cares?" Dabi sighed, less excited as what was going on than Himiko, who had successfully hung onto his back and swung around like a ragdoll whenever he moved.

"Hahaha." Shigaraki's had his iconic creepy, villainous grin. "Know what? That you're one of Shina's contacts? That you're a Yuuei student? That you're a child of the number one hero, Endeavor? That you're…"

"Todoroki Shouto." Dabi's instantly became interested in the conversation that he didn't even care about the excess weight on his shoulders caused by Himiko.

"Shit." Todoroki and Shina both realized the peculiar position they were in and things were turning sour.

Somehow, Shigaraki had figured it out. Maybe, he knew the entire time and simply played them to give them false hope. All they knew was that the jig was up and they had to find an escape and fast. Shina exhausted most of her energy fending off Mirio and Midoriya alone, in a dire situation like this, it fell on Todoroki to provide most of the offense but considering who they were up against, it didn't really matter if they were both at 100%.

"Yeah you were right. This plan was crazy."

Shina raised a hand to her ear, "Hmm? Say that again?"

"Can you brag after we get out of this?"

"I'm taking any chance I can get because I don't see any way we're getting out of this one."

"I'll think of something." Todoroki snuck his phone out of his pocket and similar to Midoriya's distress signal against their confrontation against Stain, Todoroki leaked out his location to all of his contacts. "There's going to be a lot of explaining to do…but if we can take out the Villain Alliance today…I'll accept any consequence."

"Hey, Himiko."

"Hmmm? What's up Shigaraki?" She asked, still on Dabi's shoulder.

"Take this." Shigaraki send a text on his phone before tossing it to her. "I'm trusting you with this, don't lose it."

Himiko hopped off Dabi and caught the phone effortlessly, 'ouuuing' and 'ahhhing' at the phone of her leader.

"Read it," Shigaraki pointed at her, "And follow the instructions, this is something only you can do."

"Only I can do?" Himiko curiously skimmed through the phone, oblivious and unfazed by the situation at hand.

Todoroki fired shards of ice at her, hoping to injure her and break the phone but Dabi stepped in and melted it with his flames.

"Pay attention."

"Kay~" Himiko nodded while continuing to focus solely on the phone. "Hmmm. Mmmm. Yup, like, I think I got it. Hehehe, this is going to feel so, so, soooooo good! Alright! I'm of-"

Shina shot off a body shot to Himiko's face, which froze her in place. "Crazy little yandere-chan~, you're not going anywhere! Todoroki, take her out!"

"Her? She's leaving! We want to reduce the number of people to fight!"

"Shigaraki NEVER gives his phone to anyone for any reason. There's something I can't explain but we can't let her leave."

"You annoying little-"

With the pointing of her other finger, she had managed to freeze Himiko and Shigaraki. But that was her limit of her body shot. One hand per person and there was still Kurogiri, Dabi and Twice to deal with.

"Clear the path for us!" Shina instructed of her client.

Todoroki send out ice spikes towards Twice and fire to combat Dabi. With the ease of his measuring tapes, Twice sliced up any and every speck of ice commanded by Todoroki. Dabi on the other hand, had been training his quirk all his life and slowly but surely, overpowered Todoroki's flames. Twice charged at the duo, swinging around his measuring tape. Shina let go of her grip on Shigaraki and Himiko to avoid getting her finger sliced off.

"Bitch. Hmmm?" Shigaraki looked left and right and at the floor, at the scattered bits of ice that appeared out of nowhere. "Ahhh man. You shot me…didn't you? You'll regret that Shina. And what are you still doing here Himiko?! Go."

"Aye yai!"

Midoriya jumped from building to building holding his mentor like a damsel in distress in both his arms. All Might threw away his pride. Being carried by Midoriya is a much faster option than running, and also easier on his legs. As Midoriya travelled, All Might held the GPS device in his hand, impatient to see how long it would take to reach their destination.

"Stop right here, Midoriya."

They landed on top of a building 2 kilometers away from the abandoned factory where Todoroki and Shigaraki. Luckily, thanks to All Might's quick thinking, he brought along binoculars which gave him a bit of vision on the entrance to the factory.

"Now, we wait to reinforcements." Midoriya crossed his legs as he sat down patiently. His phone beeped loudly, scaring him and All Might out of their seat. "What the…"

"Hmm? Hey, hey!" All Might jumped up as Midoriya body searched him. He was busy looking at the entrance of the abandoned factory. "What are you doing my boy?"

Midoriya searched through All Might's pockets until he found what he was looking for, "Got it!"

He lifted the GPS which was according to Yaoyorozu, tracking Todoroki and compared that location to the text message sent by Todoroki, it was a match. The good news, they were in the right place and already preparing to save Todoroki. The bad news is that Todoroki would only have one reason to send a text of his location.

"Todoroki's in danger!"

All Might and Midoriya looked at each other. That voice belonged to neither of them. They shared a glance and agreed to check out the source of the voice but the voice reached out first.

Kaminari greeted them with a happy wave, "Yo! We've been looking for you guys EVERYWHERE!"

Jirou followed behind him, panting exhausted from running up the stairs to reach the rooftops.

"W-what are you two doing here?" All Might put a hand on both their shoulders. "Its…its…dangerous here."

"Me and Jirou spotted you two leaving Yuuei in a hurry. We tried calling out to you but I guess you couldn't hear."

"So we followed you.

"My idea." Kaminari bragged.

"We figured that it had something to do with Todoroki."

"And we were right!" Kaminari happily showed Todoroki's text to Midoriya and All Might.

"He is super happy for being correct, guess an idiot like him has to celebrate at the little things." Jirou shook her head, "Except this isn't a time to celebrate."

"Ahhhhhh!" All Might returned to his binoculars and the entrance to the abandoned factory. The door was open but thanks to the entrance of Kaminari and Jirou, he couldn't see who exited. "Ahhh, not good."

"It's a good thing you're both here. We need all the help we can get!" Midoriya felt relief at the sight of them. "If anything happened, I don't think I could have protected All Might by myself."

"Protecting All Might. Never thought I'd ever hear that phrase. There's an irony in all this." Jirou plugged herself into the building hoping to hear the footsteps of any invaders.

"Soooo we're just waiting for…what?" Kaminari fell to the ground back first. The other three were on lookout while Kaminari, without a care in the world, was on his back and looking at the sky.

"Yaoyorozu and Shinsou called for backup. We think Todoroki may have confronted the Villain Alliance and need the pros to get involved with this." Midoriya answered Kaminari's question.

The wind blew gently, the city streets below them were near empty, at this time of the day, most people would have gone home from work. To the four on the rooftop, this quiet streets and gentle breeze were a calm before the storm.

"I hear something. Footsteps, one person." Jirou alerted everyone in the vicinity.

Midoriya enhanced his power, bringing it to 5%. Kaminari charged up his body, shrouding it in electricity and All Might trusted them enough to keep his binoculars on the entrance of the factory.

"Creeeeeeeak."

The door to the rooftops opened, everyone on edge was ready to fire their quirks at the person. Their fingers shaking, tension at an all time high, they all held their breath, waiting to see who would pop, when it was none other than a certain sluggish, bandaged Eraserhead.

"Yo?"

"Aizawa-sensei!" Kaminari looked extremely excited at the appearance of his teacher.

"Well…that's a relief." Jirou quipped.

Midoriya ran over to his homeroom, "You got here quick. Where's everyone else?"

"E-e-everyone else?" Aizawa's face turned red and embarrassingly admitted, "I went on ahead. I couldn't help but worry. I…uh…hurried as fast as I could."

"Worried for me?" All Might chuckled to himself, "Hoho, I'm flattered, honestly."

"What's the point?" Midoriya glanced at Aizawa, confused. "We're waiting for all the other pros. We can't take down the Villain Alliance with the people here."

"We can try!" Kaminari shoved his phone in Midoriya's face, he could clearly see Todoroki's message. "Todoroki is in danger NOW."

"Kaminari's right. If we don't do something now, it'll be too late. I'm the pro here. I'm in charge."

"O-okay…" To Midoriya, he understood why they should rush, they didn't want to arrive to a dead Todoroki and he definitely did not want to explain it to Yaoyorozu or Endeavor. But they didn't need to rush, the safer plan would be to wait, to avoid as many causalities possible.

"Midoriya Izuku, All Might. You're with me." Aizawa-sensei was already taking charge and giving out orders. "Ah, actually scratch that. Midoriya Izuku, you're mobile enough to scout the area, Jirou, your hearing will help with that, go with him."

"Sorry sensei, the plan's unclear. You want Midoriya and I to move on ahead and scout?"

"That's right. Me, All Might and Kaminari will patiently wait for the pros to arrive. Since we're all worried about Todoroki, you'll inspect the factory and report back to see how much time we have left."

"Thanks for clarifying. Haha, you weren't explaining it properly, so I had my doubts." Midoriya admitted. "But Midoriya Izuku? Just Izuku, Midoriya or even Deku is fine."

Aizawa laughed, shaking Midoriya's comment off, "Yeah, yeah. Don't worry about it, I like, got it. Good luck, Izuku. Now, everyone, move out!"

AN: It didn't even take one chapter for Todoroki's plan to go south. OWO
