We all headed out from the hospital together, in a tense and awkward silence. I was thinking about possibilities. Iida had stated he was coming, but he hadn't said why. Would he get in the way of our mission? What was his real agenda? The silence was getting alarming; Iida was the one who broke it.

He said to Midoriya "I apologize for getting violent with you. I'm sorry."

"Really, Iida," I sighed. "Your argument for coming along isn't really all that persuasive."

"It's OK! I've forgotten about it already!" stammered Midoriya.

"It's precisely because I can't accept your behavior that I'm coming along. If I get so much as a whiff of the possibility of combat, I will bring you back immediately." He pushed his glasses up on his nose. "I'll be your guardian, so to speak. That's right, like Watchman!"

"Watchman Iida," muttered Todoroki,

"Me too," I agreed, reaching into my pocket for the new tracker. "This is a job for the pros. From the outset, there has been absolutely no need for you all to get involved. Call me watchman Yaoyorozu. However, because I understand how you guys feel. You can call this a compromise plan. Don't you forget it." I held up the new reciever for them.

"Right," said Todoroki. I looked away as they all headed towards the train station. I was still uncertain. A rescue without combat. It's just not realistic. I didn't realize they would be incapable of keeping their heads level. If - once they see the present situation, and how unrealistic their plan is - they should realize it too.

Seated on the train, I told them "All right, the coordinates of the tracking device point to the Kamino ward of Yokohama city in the Kanazawa Prefecture. We'll be departing from Nagano, so it will take us about two hours. Which should get us there at around 10."

"Hey, um…did you tell the others about the specifics around our plan?" asked Midoriya.

"Yeah, after we did they just tried to stop us from going," sighed Todoroki.

"Uraraka had some pretty harsh words for us," said Kirishima.

"Uraraka did?" said Midoriya, surprised.

Apparently, she had claimed that . "Bakugou would probably see being rescued as disgraceful"…Hard to argue with that.

Todoroki took a deep breath. "In any case, listen. No matter how you look at it, what we're trying to do is driven by our own egos. If you want to turn back, it's not too late,"

Kirishima said back, "If I wasn't sure about this I wouldn't have suggested it in the first place! He's not the kind of guy who will want to just let the villains have their own way."

"I…there's no way I can turn back now," said Midoriya.

No shaking them.

It was right in Camino ward, the city was filled with people. We could be spotted so easily, at any moment, without anyone suspecting...

"We're here! Camino Ward! They villains are hiding around here somewhere in this city."

"Lots of people here, huh?"

"All right, tell me where to go Yaoyorozu!" said Kirishima.

"Please hold on a second!" I snapped at him. "If we don't proceed with every precaution from here on out! Don't forget that the villains know our faces now!"

"That's right! It's a covert mission!" said Midoriya.

"But in that case, we can't even go on and scout!" said Iida.

"And on that note,," I said, pointing to a nearby store, "I have a proposition for you all!"

It was a local store called "Donki Oote,' A name I'd read about but n ever actually encountered. A place that sold costumes and disguises on the cheap.

I'd never been inside one of those stores before. It was so tight it was difficult to move, filled with bins and shelves, colorful posters for cheaper deals, and busy customers. Nobody even noticed as we hunted for costumes and disguises that would hide our identities from curious villains.

"Hey, Yaoyorozu," said Todoroki, pointing to a shelf. I turned and saw my face, alongside Kendo's and Miss Uwabami's, on a poster above the Uneri hairspray we'd advertised for during our internship. "NEW UNERI! FEATURING UWABAMI AND HER INTERN DUO!" I flushed up, embarrassed. "That- that was during my internship, we had a commercial, it was..."

"I guess you're getting kind of famous," he said. He didn't seem to be judging me at all, and that made me for some reason blush even more. "Th-thank you, Todoroki."

For my disguise, I chose a pink dress, sunglasses, necklace, boots, and a new hairstyle. And just to complete it, I bought a bottle of the hairspray.

Midoriya had disguised himself as a punk, Iida as a waiter, Todoroki in a neat vest and black wig that covered his eyes, and Kirishima was all in red with horns.

"Aww right!" cried Midoriya. "Let's go!"

"I see. Disguises, huh?" said Todoroki.

"No, no, you gotta push your jaw out a little more!" Kirishima told Midoriya, correcting his cosplay.

"Aw right!" said Midoriya again, getting it right this time.

"We're in the night shopping district! A bunch of kids wandering around will attract too much attention!" i smiled, satisfied.

"Yaoyorozu," asked Todoroki, "Wouldn't these have been free if you just made them with your quirk?"

I got very flustered again. "Th-th-that's a violation of the rules! If I just went on and used my quirk to make whatever I wanted, the circulation of currency in the that's right - as a citizen of the country, I have to contribute - to the economy!"

"Right…I guess that makes sense…" he told me.

"Oh? Isn't that UA?"

"Aw - aw rihgt?" cried Midoriya.

We turned - but we hadn't been spotted. Instead, the crowds were looking up at the TV broadcast. "And now, a scene from the events that have just transpired. Here's a clip of the public apology issued by the official at UA academy."

Sensei, Vlad King, and Principal Nezu, in their best suits, were speaking at a Press Conference.

"On this occasion, our incompetence resulted in the injuries of 27 of our first year student heroes. Despite being an institution for the development of heroes, we were negligent in our defense against evil interests and have caused great anxiety within society. With the utmost sincerity, we respectfully and humbly apologize for our shortcomings."

"Even Aizawa, who hates the media…" said Kirishima.

"Reporting with NHA. This is the fourth time this ear your academy where students have come into contact with villains. This time, students were injured. How exactly did you explain this to their families? Please tell us specifically what measures have been taken to address this matter."

"They're being treated like criminals…" said Midoriya.

Nezu said, "We have strengthened the security around the school, and we have re-examined the campus' crime prevention system. We are taking strong measures to guarantee the safety of our students. That was the explanation we gave."

We heard the crowd muttering. "EH? They're not protecting them at all! What are these guys saying?"

The mood was changing.

People were turning against heroes.
