I leaned my back against a tree. I know he came this way. Where was he?

"That's no good, Dabi! You were beaten! So weak! You small fry or something?"

"Already? I'm pretty weak."

I stepped out from the tree when I heard Dabi.

"That was pretty risky. Going up against Eraserhead. Alone. Didn't peg you for a dumbass, Dabi."

The other villain that was with him, Twice, stared at me. I waved to him.

"Hey Twice. How's it going?" I looked at Dabi again. "Do you want me to heal you a little?"

Dabi shook his head. "I want to talk to you later. Twice, make another one of me."

I frowned. "Why?"

Twice came over and leaned on my shoulder. "Yea. What she said! Why?"

"We need something to keep the pros from leaving."

Twice and I looked at each other, then back at Dabi. "I can keep them from leaving. I'm a UA student. Also, I don't want certain people killed. Injuries will be a given, of course, but no deaths."

"Why are you giving me orders?"

I grinned. "I have my reasons. I also want to talk to you later."

"Aw. What about me?!"

"Later, Twice." I sighed. "Fine. Do what you have to do. No casualties. I have my reasons for asking such things." I shook Twice off and waved my hand. "I'm hoping we can trust each other, Dabi. Twice, be careful." I grinned. "Come back in one piece."

He jumped and shook his fist at me. "Hey! I understood that remark!" He lowered his fist as I walked away. "You too! Better!"

I nodded as I headed back towards the camp. "Always!"

I walked into the clearing, and looked around. I sighed. They haven't done what I said. If they did, they would have noticed me.

I stopped. That tugging again. I smiled. She managed to break through sooner than I thought.

"Everyone in 1-A and 1-B! In the name name of the pro hero, Eraserhead-" I widened my eyes. "-you are granted permission to engage in combat!" Oh hell! "I repeat! Everyone in 1-A and 1-B! You are granted permission to engage in combat!"

I growled. Why would you give them permission for that?! Unless...

"Doesn't matter why. Aizawa's not back. He'd already be out here, biting my head off for leaving." I started slowly towards the doors. "Iida's not one to just ditch though, so..." I stopped just before I got to the door. "That's right. King is here too. He's probably inside with everyone else. Hm. I'm not going inside, then. What do I do?" I shook my head and bit my hand. I just realized I had been speaking out loud. Damn Midoriya and his muttering habit.

"We have discovered one of the villains targets. It is one of the students-Kacchan! Kacchan should try to avoid combat and acting independently. Understand, Kacchan?!"

I sighed. Of course they'd be after Bakugo. Dammit! Why can't I ever get told these things? Thanks for the heads up, Red. I turned and closed my eyes, searching for Bakugo. I didn't know the lay out of the land properly yet, but I had to try. He had been with Todoroki when the class on class game started. I saw Aizawa heading back this way. He had Kota. Ok, who else can I find?

I snapped my eyes open and started to run. I had to avoid Aizawa, so I dodged behind a tree as I heard footsteps and then kept running after he passed me. Hopefully I'd be able to catch up to him in time. If not...Well, I'm just going to have to try. I wonder if my wings are faster than my legs? Hm.

I stopped and threw my arms down. My wings appeared and I lifted myself above the trees. Ah, that's better. Now I can see. I flew in the direction I saw Midoriya run. I figure he'd be going to find Bakugo. Alright, let's follow him then.

I stayed low to the trees just in case anyone saw me. Dammit, Midoriya. Where'd you go? I can't close my eyes out here. It's not safe.

I stopped as I heard a massive roar. What in the Hell was that?! Dammit, this has gotten a lot more intense. I dropped to the ground and started running again. Running helped me think.

I saw Midoriya come this way, so I'm on the right track. I don't know what that noise was, but assuming that the reason whatever it was roared like that was because it saw Midoriya...

I'm going to have to be careful. Going to have to think about this. That roar was close. Not even a kilometre away. I can make it.

I heard a noise and stopped. It sounded like something smashing through the trees. Alright, from now on, I have to be careful. It didn't sound like anything I knew of.

I stepped behind a tree, but whatever it was obviously hadn't been this far yet. It hadn't noticed me. I'll stay to the inside of the tree-line then.

I picked my way through the trees and looked up when I heard voices.

"-oing on, Shouji?!"

"Quiet."

Shouji and Midoriya's voices got quieter, so I snuck up closer. The noise got louder and I spotted what it was. My eyes widened and I shook my head. That...can't be what I think it is...

"-telling us not to engage, we went on alert immediately. Right after that, we were attacked by a villain. I covered Tokoyami, hiding in the bushes even as my arm got cut off. Even though it's not a shallow cut, it's not like I've lost it forever. My Dupli-Arms can even duplicate my duplicated organs, and what was cut off was a duplicate. But I guess he couldn't even stand that. The quirk he had been holding back started getting out of control..."

I stared at Dark Shadow. How can that be him? That's the complete opposite to how I know him...

I grabbed onto the tree as he smashed through again. If that's Dark Shadow, then where is-

"Forget...About me...Find the others and help them!"

There he is. I was relieved to see he was still there, but how do we fix this...

"If we lead it to the fire or back to camp, it should calm down."

I looked over at Shouji. No, not camp. That would be too dangerous. I snuck over to them.

"Hey!" I whispered just loud enough for them to hear. I waved from the tree I was hiding behind.

"Kitia! What are you doing here?"

"I followed you, you idiot! I knew you'd do something stupid!" I stopped talking for a second, eyeing Dark Shadow as he went passed me. "Don't even think about taking him back to camp! Tokoyami would kill you if you did that and someone got hurt! Listen, I heard about Bakugo being targeted! You were going to find him, right?"

Midoriya nodded from his spot on Shouji's back. Mate, if he wasn't so broken already, I'd break his neck for hurting himself so much!

"Yea. I was going to make sure he was ok. Todoroki should be still with him."

I put my hand on my chin and thought for a second. I wonder if...I closed my eyes, searching for Bakugo and Todoroki. Ah hah! Got you! They were fighting a creepy ass villain with teeth that could grow out of his mouth and were like razers. Gross. I opened my eyes again and looked at Midoriya. I flickered my eyes to Dark Shadow, then grinned.

"You're not the only one who can come up with a stupid ass idea..."

I flew just ahead of Shouji and Midoriya. I quickly told them about the new Mapping quirk I found out I had. Normally it doesn't work unless I've already been somewhere, but I somehow managed to get it work as we guided Dark Shadow through the forest towards Bakugo and Todoroki. Three birds, one stone. So to speak.

Luckily, we didn't have to go too far.

"There! I can see ice!"

I opened my eyes. "Good! Now, get ready to move!"

When we got close enough for them to hear, Shouji started to shout at them.

"Bakugo! Todoroki! One of you, please...Make some light!"

I looked over to the villain. I didn't know him, but he definitely creeped me out.

Shouji started to shout again when they just stood and stared. "Hurry up and make some light! Tokoyami's out of control!"

I tried to dodge a swipe, but it got me and I fell, tumbling across the ground, stopping in front of Bakugo.

I sat up and shook my head. "Ouch. Dick."

"Alright, I'll use my flames..."

I turned quickly to Bakugo and shook my head, pointing towards the villain. He understood and held his arm out to Todoroki.

"Wait, idiot."

I breathed a sigh of relief and watched as Dark Shadow grabbed the creepy ass, razer tooth villain...

"Look..."

...And threw him into a tree. I grinned. "Fus Do Rah, motherfucker..."

"I haven't had enough fun yet!"

I stood up and held my hands out. "Yes you have. Sorry, but playtime is over. It's my turn now."

My eyes flashed at Bakugo and Todoroki as they ran passed me. I enhanced their quirks only slightly. Just enough for Dark Shadow to retreat.

"I'm a bad match-up for you."

I rolled my eyes at Bakugo. "You think everyone's a bad match-up for you..."

"Sorry...Thanks for saving me..."

I sat down heavily as Shouji walked up to Tokoyami. "Are you ok?"

"Sorry Shouji. You too, Midoriya, Kitia. I let my anger take over and released Dark Shadow. The influence of the darkness and my anger spurred on that guy. In the end, it got so strong that I couldn't hold it back and ended up hurting Shouji."

"We can leave that for later. That's what you would say, right?"

I had my head down and kept my mouth shut for a minute. I felt bad myself, and it wasn't a selfish feeling. I felt bad for not being to help. Only certain people I would kill or die for, and two of them were right here. One of them needed help and I couldn't do anything. Not really.

I stood up and walked over to Tokoyami, dropping to my knees beside him. "Don't you dare apologize to me. I told you once that I wouldn't let you lose control, so technically speaking, I should be apologizing to you..." I still had my down. "So-" I wrapped my arms around his neck and pressed my face to his neck. "I'm sorry. I hope you don't hate me."

I felt his arms around me. "I don't think I could ever hate you."

I tightened my grip and felt tears well up in my eyes. I sighed heavily and sat back. "Well, now that that's settled, what are we going to do about him." I pointed to Bakugo.

"Oh, right! We confirmed that one of the targets is Kacchan."

"Bakugo? Are they trying to kill him? Why?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I think the camp is the safest place since there are two pros, Vlad King and Mr Aizawa, there."

"I see. So now our mission is to escort Bakugo there, huh?"

"But at the clearing, the Pussycats are still fighting. Going back on the path would bring us to the attention of the villains, and we'd lose time."

I stayed quiet, watching Bakugo for a reaction. Surprisingly, he hadn't said anything. Yet.

"We should cut straight across."

"We don't know how many villains there are."

"We might come across one suddenly."

"We can use Shouji's extra eyes and Kitia, your new Map quirk-"

"Doesn't always work, Midoriya..."

"-and we have Todoroki's freezing, and if Tokoyami's ok with it, we can try using Dark Shadow. Honestly, with this group-"

"Don't say it..."

"-we could probably even go up against All Might."

I sighed and stood up. "He said it...You're going to jinx us, Midoriya."

"What's with you guys?!"

"You walk in the middle."

"I don't fucking need you guys to protect me!"

I grabbed Bakugo's arm. "Just relax. Just this once, we all need to get along, ok?"

The other boys just started walking. "Let's go."

"Don't fucking ignore me!" He snatched his arm away and started walking. I growled and pressed a finger to my forehead.

"Make sure you keep up."

"Don't tell me what to do!"

I sighed again and walked beside Tokoyami. "I'm going to stay back with you."

"Good. I wanted to ask about what you said to Dark Shadow."

I frowned. "Huh?"

"When you said 'it's my turn'. What did you mean?"

I blinked. "Oh. That. Well, I just figure that we're going to run into someone, like Midoriya said. And Dark Shadow had his fun." I stared ahead and grinned. "Now it's my turn. These 'villains' hurt my friends, so I'm going to hurt them."

"That's not very 'hero'-like."

I looked at Tokoyami and grinned. "We're not heroes yet."

Bakugo had slowed down so he was walking between me and Tokoyami. That was fine. I wanted to be within reaching distance anyway.

There was a noise to my left and I stopped walking, arm out.

"What is it?"

"Hush Go-Go." I looked around, eyes narrowed. "Somethings not right."

"What do you mean?"

I glanced at Tokoyami. "It seems it's my turn now."

The other boys had already disappeared. I frowned. That's more than a little odd. We should be able to see them...

"Looks like it's my lucky night."

I closed my eyes slowly as Bakugo and Tokoyami turned around. Oh hell. Not this guy. I turned to face him.

"Compress. I thought you were still doing shows for little kids?"

"You know this guy?"

I shook my head. "I just know of him. Careful."

"It's too late for that, kids. I'll be taking them now."

I frowned. Them? But they were only after Bakugo. Right?

The creepy magician in a yellow trench-coat did something as I blinked and Bakugo disappeared.

"What the hell?! Give him back!"

"Sorry. Now it's your other friends turn."

I stepped in front of Tokoyami and summoned two Sai's. "Like hell!"

"You know, I can't fight..."

I grinned. "Then this should be easy." I threw one of the Sai's at him, but he jumped and was somehow floating in the air. He moved around, circling us, then threw something at Tokoyami. I saw the shine of a blade and pushed Tokoyami out of the way. A dagger lodged itself in my thigh.

"Kitia!"

"Fuck! Dammit! Run, Toko!" I lay on the ground, biting my hand from the pain. Well, this wasn't fun. The pain was causing black spots to dance in front of my eyes. I wasn't going to be conscious for very much longer.

Compress landed next to me. "Sorry kid. We don't want you." He turned to Tokoyami. I reached out, but I blinked and he was gone.

I bared my teeth and struggled to sit up. "Give him back! Right now!"

"I don't think so. You sleep now. You look like you need it."

"Fuck you! You need to learn to aim better!"

He fiddled with two green marble looking things. "I won't say you're wrong. Unfortunately for you, I'm aware of that and poisoned the blade."

I widened my eyes. "Are you insane? My brother will kill you if I die!" My vision faded a little more and I fell back onto my back.

"I didn't say it was a deadly poison..." His voice faded as I slipped into unconsciousness.

I opened my eyes and the first thing I felt was the pain in my thigh. Damn Compress! I'm going to stab you!

I struggled to sit up and drag myself to the closest tree. I leaned against it, breathing hard. I looked at the blade and groaned. I'm not going to be able to heal myself with it still in. My body had already taken care of whatever poison was on the blade, so my vision was back and I could think a little clearer.

I gripped the blade and tugged slightly. "Gah!" I let go. No. That wasn't going to work. I looked around and found a thick stick. Right, I'll bite on this then. I grabbed the blade again and, a few quick breaths, yanked the blade out. I bit the stick then cried out, the stick falling from my mouth. So much for that idea. I dropped the blade beside me, breathing hard. Dammit! I pressed my hand to the wound, but there was to much blood. If the blade cut threw an artery, I'll be bleed out in five minutes. Three, if my healing doesn't activate quick enough. Damn you, Compress! You took Tokoyami! I'm going to kill you! I bared my teeth. I will kill you if you hurt him.

"Kitia!"

I blinked and looked up. I gasped and felt tears spring up in my eyes. Tokoyami knelt beside me, staring at my wound.

"Are you alright?"

"Toko...But...he took you..."

"Midoriya, Shouji and Todoroki."

I leaned over and wrapped my arms around his waist. The tears fell even though I didn't want them too. "Figures he'd do something stupid without me. Glad he did this time, though."

"Come on, we have to get you to the hospital."

I felt someone lift me and turned my head to see Shouji. I felt something tug in my chest and wrapped my arms around his neck. "I'm glad you're alright too!" Started to sob as we started walking towards the camp.

"And here I thought you were tough."

"Yes. It's kind of scary to see you like this."

I grinned and wiped my eyes. "Shuddup, you two! I was worried about you, and I couldn't do anything. Being stabbed and poisoned ain't fun you know! Oh don't give me that look! The poisons gone. Besides, we should be more concerned about the damsel in distress situation. I mean, Midoriya had to save you all busted up..."

I saw a tick mark appear on Tokoyami's head. I grinned, but then it dropped. "But then again, I got nicked with a toothpick and couldn't do anything. I'm sorry. The one time you guys actually needed me, and I was useless. More than useless. I guess it goes to show no matter how strong you are, there's always someone stronger, smarter, more capable." I sighed heavily. "I guess that just means we have to work harder, right? Kick their asses! I'm sure Bakugo would be all for it! Where is he anyway?"

Tokoyami and Shouji stayed silent.

"Guys?" I felt myself go pale. "Please tell me I'm going to hear Bakugo scream at Midoriya later for saving him..."

Tokoyami shook his head. "We weren't able to save him. The League of Villains has him."

I clung to Shouji and started to shake. Oh hell. What did they want with Bakugo?

By the time I got to the hospital, my Healing quirk had nearly healed my wound completely. It didn't work as well because of the poison, so I had to stay in overnight.

I called Hirahara to let him know. He had wanted to come see me, but I didn't think that would be a good idea. I didn't contact Tomura or Kurogiri. I couldn't risk it, considering the situation, even though I really wanted to chew them out for not telling me the details.

All I had been told was they were planning on scaring people and putting the heroes on edge. Now, as it turns out, they had taken Bakugo, severely injured Blue and Yellow was missing. Three of the villains had been caught. Three that I had heard of, but didn't particularly like. They were potentially untrustworthy to have around anyway, as far as I could tell.

I bared my teeth and thumped the edge of my bed. Why do I always get left out of plans? Especially if they involve me?!

I relaxed and smiled. Alright, if that's how the rules are going to be, I'll play a little longer. But I'm going to play using my own rules.

The door opened and Dr Gavin walked. I frowned. "What are you doing here?"

He looked at me and crossed his arms. "I should be asking you the same thing, young lady!"

I cocked my head. "It wasn't my fault. Not this time, at least."

He sighed and closed the door behind him. "That's not what I heard."

"And what exactly did you hear?"

"You put yourself between a villain and a friend."

I shifted on the bed. "Oh, right. Yea I did do that. But that doesn't explain why you're here. I thought you worked in Hosu?"

He nodded. "I did."

I frowned again. "Did?"

"Yes. Did. Now I work elsewhere. Closer to your school."

"Huh? Why?"

He sighed. "Because, Kitia, you need a guardian. You need someone to watch over you and make sure you grow properly." He walked over and placed his hand on my head. "You need someone who will guide you to be who you're meant to be. Someone who will help you. Someone who will follow you."

I blinked. "Follow me?"

Dr Gavin grinned. "I know who you are, Kitia Shigaraki. I know your brother is Tomura Shigaraki. I've known since Hosu. You don't need to fear. I will help you, guide you, protect you. You will be a better leader than your brother."

I stared at him for a moment, then grinned. "Well then. Why didn't you say so in the first place? Welcome to the family, Doctor."
