Tsukauchi stands in front of multiple heroes and other officers of the police force and says, "We've gathered some of our finest heroes here today. Now. Let's talk strategy."
At the bar with me and Bakugo and the villains.
Shigaraki asks, "I'll ask you one more time, Katsuki Bakugo. Aspiring hero. Will you join the League of Villains?"
Bakugo bares his teeth at Shigaraki and says, "Go throw yourself into traffic."
I somehow knew something worse was about to begin than Bakugo joining the League of Villains.
Shigaraki grabbed my tank top tearing it off exposing my sports bra but it didn't faze me as I watched him closely.
Shigaraki says, "Kurogiri. Bring Cara here into the back room. I know she won't be willing but still I'll have my way."
I say quiet with venom, "I won't ever be willing, Shigaraki. And you don't know the amount of heroes who will come after you especially having kidnapped me and Bakugo. You have no idea how many heroes I know."
Bakugo says to me, "Don't act like more pros will come because of who your dad is."
Shigaraki says, "Oh. So you have a famous parent? Let's hear it. Who is it? Surely it's not Endeavor or we would have heard it, like at the sports festival like that other.
Bakugo laughs slightly and says, "Nah. Though she is dating Icy Hot."
Kurogiri says, "Hm. I've seen you erase Quirks like Eraserhead. Is that who your father is? But then if Eraserhead is your father then who would be your mother? I haven't heard of him dating anyone before."
I grit my teeth wishing Bakugo would have shut up.
Dabi says, "So that's why Shoto was so desperate to save you. I know her from years before and while I didn't know of her father I do know her mother is dead now. She used to be the hero Fiery Frost Phoenix."
Shigaraki smirks as I glare at Dabi and realizing where I know him from I say, "It's disgraceful what you've become, Toya." Dabi's eyes widen slightly at me recognizing him.
Next thing I see is a warp gate going over me and I end up in a room with Shigaraki. I black out as he rapes me and wake up to Bakugo saying, "Cara! Cara Aizawa!"
I look around seeing I'm back beside Bakugo and the other villains. I look down at my body to see I'm still in my bra but I no longer have my leggings on instead it looks like they were cut to be shorts or Shigaraki's Quirk got them but they are up to just under my ass and by being sore I know he did what he wanted to. I look around kinda listless trying to come to terms with what I know happened to me.
Izuku, Tenya, Momo, Eijiro, and Shoto all walk away from the hospital together.
Tenya says, "Midoriya." Izuku turns to Tenya and Tenya continues, "I shouldn't have hit you back there. I'm sorry." Tenya bows slightly as he says, "Forgive me."
Momo walks forward a little and says, "I have some concerns, Iida. What exactly is your justification for changing your mind and joining us?"
Tenya bows his back more in embarrassment and Izuku puts his hands up and says, "Hey, it's fine, you don't need to apologize."
Tenya straightens up and says, "To be clear, I'm coming because I don't condone your behavior. It's as simple as that." He pushes up his glasses as he continues, "If there's even a hint that physical combat might break out, I'll make you retreat immediately." He takes his hand away from his face looking forward and continues, "So in other words..." He points at Izuku and says, "I'm your watchman!"
Shoto says not looking at him, "Exactly what we needed."
Momo says, "The same goes for me. Rescuing Bakugo and Cara is a job for the pros." She reaches in her pocket as the others look at her and continues, "Objectively speaking, there's no reason for any of us to go after him." She pulls the receiver out and says, "However, I understand how each of you feels, so I'm compromising. Don't forget that."
Shoto says, "Right."
Eijiro says, "Understood."
They continue walking forward and Momo mutters to herself, "A rescue without us fighting...It's not plausible. The others are so driven by frustration that they're blinded. But...Once they see the situation first-hand and realize how difficult it will be, they should understand their plan is completely unrealistic."
The group gets on the bullet train. While on the train Momo and Izuku sit in a double seat facing Eijiro and Shoto while across the aisle Tenya sits by himself.
Momo says while looking at the receiver, "The coordinates indicate Camino Ward, Yokohama City in Kanagawa Prefecture. Our travel time will be about two hours from here. We should arrive around ten o'clock tonight."
Izuku looks up at Shoto and asks, "So, um. Did you tell the rest of the class about this? Do they know what we're doing tonight?"
Shoto says, "Yes. And they tried their best to talk us out of it."
Eijiro leans forward and says, "Yeah, even Uraraka ganged up on us and tried to get us to change our minds."
They remember Ochaco trying to get them to change their minds, "I just don't know, you guys. Think about what Bakugo and Cara would want. We'd just make everything worse I'm afraid."
Eijiro says, "Anyway..."
Shoto seeing the look on Izuku's face says, "Just to make sure. You know we're going against everyone's wishes, and being completely selfish by doing this. We can call this off if we want to."
Eijiro says, "Does it look like I wanna turn back? Bakugo and Cara wouldn't think twice about going after the villains if they were here."
Shoto looks towards Izuku and says, "What about you, Midoriya?"
Izuku looks down and says, "They're my friends." Izuku looks up with a determined face and says, "I refuse to turn back."
Shoto says, "I see. All right, then. I also won't turn back. I wasn't able to reach Cara and Bakugo so I will do my best to get them back. I need to save Cara from more hurt adding onto what she's already gone through."
They get off the bullet train and start walking. Izuku says, "So this is Camino Ward."
Shoto says, "It's so crowded."
Eijiro says running forward, "Those villains are hiding somewhere in this city. Just tell me where to go!"
Momo says frustrated, "Wait a second! From now on, we're going to need to be extremely careful. These criminals already know what we look like, remember?" The others look at her as she continues, "We have to consider that we could be attacked at any moment."
Izuku says nodding, "Yeah, you're right! Stealth mode." Izuku puts his arms in an X in front of his face.
Shoto says looking at him, "You're standing out even more, Midoriya."
Tenya says thinking with his chin in his hand, "We won't be able to scout effectively if we're recognizable."
Eijiro puts his hand on the back of his neck as he says, "'Kay, so what should we do?"
Momo blushes slightly and says pointing at a store, "I have an idea. Though it is a bit old school."
They go inside the store and try to disguise themselves.
Izuku with a goatee, glasses, and new clothes says, "Yo, fool. What chu lookin' at?"
Shoto with a wig that covers his hair and burn scar and new clothes says, "This is me, incognito."
Momo gets in a pink dress, glasses, and a new hair do says, "Now we'll blend in perfectly."
Tenya in new clothes that have suspenders, mustache, and his hair slicked back says pulling at his bow tie, "I feel so ridiculous."
Eijiro in new clothes, hair slicked on his head, and earlike things sticking out says, "I dunno, I kinda dig it."
They walk out of the store and Izuku says loudly, "Watch it, you punks. Get lost."
Eijiro says wincing, "That's all wrong - you gotta stick your chin out more."
Izuku says, "You talkin' ta me?"
Eijiro says, "That's it!"
Tenya says, "We're just a few scoundrels cruising for hot girls."
Eijiro gives the thumbs up saying, "Close enough!"
Momo breathes out steam and says, "Great disguises. We'd stand out in this district dressed like kids."
Shoto says looking at her, "Yaoyorozu? Couldn't you have used your Quirk for this to save money?"
Momo says, "Well, technically, but that's against the rules. If I started making everything, think of the impact on the economy. We must ensure the flow of commerce! That's right! It's our civic duty. As citizens!"
Shoto says, "Sure."
Eijiro mutters quietly, "So the rich girl just wants to go shopping, huh?"
Momo starts walking and says, "Everyone. Our destination is this way."
A passerby says, "Whoa, it's UA High!"
Izuku turns around and says, "Huh?!" Then he gasps as he looks up at the TV showing Principal Nezu, Vlad King, and Dad all dressed up formal.
The TV newscaster says, "Let's return to a short clip from UA High School press conference that just wrapped up."
The group pushes forward and Izuku says, "Mr. Aizawa."
Momo says watching it, "And Vlad King and the principal!"
Dad on the TV says, "We are here to apologize. A recent incident allowed harm to come to 28 first year heroes. And we staff were ill prepared. We take responsibility for any trauma caused by our negligence. It's our duty to train heroes," they bow and continue saying, "but also to protect heroes in training."
Eijiro says watching it, "This is crazy. He hates being on TV. And with his daughter being included in there."
A reporter on the TV says, "I'll take the first question. Since the beginning of the year, UA students have had four encounters with villains. This time, there were students who were gravely injured. How did you explain this to their families? And what are some of the specific steps you're taking to ensure their safety in the future?"
Izuku mutters, "The media should know what UA's basic position is since they didn't cancel the sports festival. They just want them to look bad." Izuku clenches his fist as he says outloud, "They're treating them like...villains."
Nezu says, "We will increase patrols around the school grounds, and review security measures within the school. The safety of UA's students is our main priority, make no mistake about it."
A person in the crowd says, "Ugh. What are these dudes thinkin'?"
Another says, "They're gonna get those kids killed."
A third says, "They should be ashamed."
A fourth says, "Increased patrols? Gimme a break."
A fifth says, "What about the rest of us?"
The mood was changing. You could feel it in the air. People were turning against heroes. And if we didn't do something, it was just going to get worse.
Shigaraki turns off the TV of the news conference turning around saying, "Isn't that strange? The heroes are becoming the bad guys. Seems like they're not dealing with this very well at all. So much criticism." I see that Dabi keeps his eyes on me and Bakugo closely. Shigaraki continues, "But everyone makes a mistake or two, right? It's not like they're supposed to be perfect. Modern day heroes sure have it rough. Don't you think, Bakugo? Cara?"
Spinner says, "Once a hero receives payment to protect people, they aren't a real hero anymore. That's what Stain's actions taught us."
I say quietly still processing, "You don't even know what you're talking about. I've met Stain and fought him."
Shigaraki says, "A hero in this current system only cares about money and glory. And since society buys into those idiotic rules, anyone deemed a loser is shoved aside. So, we want to pose some questions. What is a hero? What is justice? Is this society truly fair? Soon, everyone will be asking. That's when we'll know we've won. And you like winning. Don't you?"
Bakugo growls. I know Shigaraki is talking to Bakugo as I know he wants him to join them and he just wants to use me since I think he's figured out that I won't join him willingly.
Shigaraki points to Bakugo and says, "Dabi. Let him go."
Dabi turns to him and says, "You know he'll just fight."
Shigaraki puts his hands up and says, "It's fine. We're recruiting him, so we should treat him as an equal. Besides, he's smart enough to know he can't take us all, right? Even if he does release Cara who technically is considered a pro. After all, UA students are so clever."
Dabi says looking towards the others in the Vanguard Action Squad, "Hey, Twice. You do it."
Twice says in his weird two-tone voice, "Sure thing! No way."
Dabi says, "Do it."
Twice says, "Oh, man." And he walks forward towards us.
Mr. Compress in a corner says, "I do apologize for such forceful methods. But please understand that we aren't some kind of unruly mob committing crimes without a third act in mind."
Twice starts releasing Bakugo's hands as Mr. Compress continues, "We didn't kidnap either of you by accident."
Shigaraki says, "Even though our backgrounds are different, everyone here has suffered. Because of people. Rules. And heroes who try to hold us back." Bakugo massages his hands as Shigaraki walks forward and I growl a panther growl. Shigaraki continues, "I'm sure you're the same."
Bakugo is quick to punch Twice causing him to go backwards and grunt. Bakugo blows a large explosion towards Twice. Bakugo's explosion ends up knocking Shigaraki's hand off his face.
Twice says, "Shigaraki!"
Bakugo stays slightly bent over saying, "I'm done listening to your endless talking. Can you not get to the point, or do you just like your own voice? Basically, what you're saying is you wanna cause some trouble and you want me to join you." Bakugo stands ready and says, "Well, screw you." Bakugo smirks and says, "I like to win. I wanna win just like All Might. No matter what you have to offer me, that will never change, do you understand?"
I smirk knowing Bakugo would never go to the villains side. While the attention is on him I focus on making a small Blade of Light and start using it to pick the lock on my chains.
Shigaraki says looking at the hand Bakugo knocked off, "Father."
