I opened my eyes only to see darkness through a cloth. A blindfold again? The memories of the training camp flooded in but before I could do anything a voice interrupted my thoughts.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Wannabe hero Bakugou Katsuki, won't you join me?" I heard Shigaraki say. Of all the things I wanted to hear, Bakugou saying no definitely took the top stop.

"You can shove your offer and go to hell!" Bakugou said.

A wave of relief washed over me and I let out a sigh that reflected that. At least one thing was going for me.

"Oh?" Shigaraki said. "Looks like the runaway is finally awake."

I yawned and shoved my blindfold down to my neck with my shoulder. "Good… morning?"

"Good evening." Kurogiri corrected. "You've been out for two days."

"'Two'?!" I nearly yelled. "Well, I suppose a girl needs her beauty sleep." Jokes. That was how I was dealing with the situation. I don't exactly do jokes so you could tell I was not doing great.

"Don't think I'm finished with you. We've got lots to talk about. I know you helped out those kids. Do we need to tell Bakugou about how your sweet brother died? What about that villain in the alleyway?"

"Y-you wouldn't." Fear was in my eyes. I couldn't have anyone else be burdened with that story "You know that wasn't on purpose. I was too young to blame."

"Ha! You're so delicate! Easy to break. Okay then, you have any questions for our dear Asuga, Bakugou?" Shigaraki asked. "I know you're curious, so ask away."

Bakugou had a look of anger on his face but a tiny hint of curiousness showed through. "So, this is your family, huh?"

"Yup." I replied. "Three years in the making. No one else had ever reached out to me except for these guys. Gave me a home."

"Awwwww. Asuga!" Toga cooed. I almost smile. Almost.

"One more thing." Bakugou "Do you really like it here?"

"No. I'm forced to do things I don't want to and see things no one should ever see. I've tried to escape multiple times. I thought I'd finally escaped when I met up with you and Midoriya. To be honest, every day here is another day in hell." My eyes were trained on the ground with a sorrowful expression. Every word was true, and that's what made it worse. I could feel the eyes of the League members burning into me. I had never made a confession like that before. The League wasn't a group of monsters. If I had really told them what I did to Bakugou, I might've been let go a while back. But what would I do after that? Where would I have gone? Now, I had something to cling to, I finally had a will. And, as they say, if there's a will, there's a way.

"Okay, that's enough Asuga." Shigaraki interrupted. "Don't scare him off already. Dabi. Untie him." He ordered bluntly.

"Huh?" Dabi retorted. "He'll go wild for sure."

"It's okay. We gotta treat him as an equal. We're scouting him after all. Besides, before he throws a tantrum, our little U.A. student here should be smart enough to know he can't win."

"Twice." Dabi said. "You do it."

"Huh, me? No thanks!" He said before going to Bakugou and started untying his restraints. Twice was like that with a split personality. It was part of his personality and probably one of the reasons he became a villain. Hard to fit in with society when you don't know how you fit in your own body.

"We apologize for the rather forceful measures taken to get you here…" Mr. Compress started talking to Bakugou. "And yet we need you to understand that we're no mere thugs working in the name of aimless evil. Not in the least." Bakugou kept a relatively peaceful expression while Twice worked away. "It wasn't by accident that we spirited you away. Everyone here has a different story to tell, but we've all suffered thanks to other people. Thanks to rules. Thanks to heroes. We've felt suffocated. You, more than anyone, should-"

BOOM!

As soon as he could, Bakugou blasted an explosion right in front of Shigaraki.

"I thought I was gonna croak of old age while you idiots yap, yap, yapped away!" Bakugou said. "Can't stand morons like you who can't get the damned point! Basically, you're saying, 'We wanna cause trouble. Be our pal!' Meanwhile, you got one of your so-called members confessing that she hates you! What a joke! I've always admired All Might's triumphs. No matter what any of you jerks say, nothing's going to change that."

"… What if a skillful manipulator gets to him and sends him down the path of evil? Can you provide proof that, as you say, that boy still has a future?" A press member asked on the television.

I watched as Eraserhead stands up and bows at the tv. "Any lapse in his behavior is my failing. Still, he behaved that way at the sports festival because he has strong convictions and ideals. More than anyone, he pursues the title of top hero with everything he's got. If the villains have mistaken that for weakness, then their thought process is indeed superficial."

The pressman continues his interrogation. "That doesn't sound like proof of anything. The boy's emotions aside, do you have a concrete counter-strategy?"

The principal joined in. "We're approaching this passively. Currently, I am personally cooperating with the police in their ongoing investigation. Make no mistake, we will retrieve the student who was taken from us."

"Hah!" Bakugou says. "Good 'ol U.A. sticking up for me. Get it now, league of scumbags?! Just so you know, technically, I've still got permission to fight back!" He was stalling while forming his plan to escape. He had guts, I gave him that.

"I got your back, Bakugou." I said. I had already Switched out of my restraints and readied myself for a fight. . "Give them all you've got."

"Oooh~! Can I stab 'em?" Toga cooed. Dabi quickly shot her down with a "No, you idiot."

"If that's your attitude, then why not act like we'd won you over? I don't understand." Mr. Compress questioned.

Bakugou crouched a bit and raised his palms "If I'm not feeling something, I ain't gonna lie about it. And I'm not in the mood to hang around this boring dump for much longer."

Shigaraki was silent the whole time. He gave off a deadly aura.

"You mustn't, Tomura Shigaraki!" Kurogiri warned. "Calm yourself!" I Shigaraki was going to do what I think he was, Bakugou and I needed to get out of there fast. Shigaraki could destroy the while building... and us...

Shigaraki gave Bakugou and I a powerful glare before putting his hand out. "Just stay back… all of you. This kid is an important pawn." Shigaraki repositioned his "father"'s hand that Bakugou had blown off back on his face. "I wish you would've listened. I thought we might understand each other."

"Nope!" Bakugou replied with a hint of disgust.

"What a shame. We all just heard about the heroes' investigation, so I can't waste much time trying to convince you. Master, lend me your power."

My eyes went wide at this. All for One?! Is he coming here?! Oh, no, no, no! I have to get Bakugou out. But how? We can try to get out the door behind us but Kurogiri would be too quick. Ugh! What do I do?!

"'Master'…? I thought you were the boss around here! Pretty disappointing…" Bakugou taunted. He was obviously in a tight spot. Even I could only do so much. His words were filler for time and I'll admit he was good at mouthing off.

"Kurogiri. Compress. Let's put him to sleep again. Asuga too. I'm actually impressed... by how unwilling he is to listen to reason."

"Want me to listen? Stuff it and go to hell!"

Knock. Knock. (Big bird smashes the door down… I'm not sorry)

The door? Who-

"Hello. Kamino pizza delivery."

Pizza? Wait-

SMASH

The sidewall is obliterated as the one and only All Might busts through. All Might…? All might. All right! As dust settled, more heroes came into view and a branch of wood wrapped itself tightly around my arms and midsection. Shoot! They think I'm a villain too! "Bakugou!" So many things were happening around us but Bakugou seemed to hear me loud and clear.

"She's okay, All Might." Bakugou points towards me.

"Young Bakugou I-"

"She was kidnapped too. She was at the training camp and got jumbled into this mess."

"It's a very long story." I added.

All Might looks towards me with a slight look of confusion and weariness before looking towards Kamui Woods. "Young wood hero! This teen girl is harmless! Please release her!"

"Sure All Might!" The branches around me loosen and retreat. Tears stung my eyes and started to fall. I ran to hug All Might.

"Thank you! Oh, thank you so much!" The tears were flowing strongly and the world seemed to float away. Free at last…

Just as it seemed all was well, a weird taste filled my mouth and I suddenly began spitting up a silver liquid that just kept coming out thicker and thicker.

"What? What is this? No! Oh god, not you too Bakugou!" I look to see the same thing happening to the ash blonde as darkness quickly engulfed me.

~~~~~o~~~~~~~~~~o~~~~~

We're really picking up speed, huh? I'm glad to see that the views spiked again! That makes me happy. Did everyone leave for vacation at once or something? I also saw some more of you guys comment/review (which one is it?) and that makes me so happy! I don't care what you guys say, seeing those comments (we're calling them comments now) warms my heart! School's starting too soon but I'll try to publish as much as possible then too. I'm not planning on stopping this story until Bnha itself ends! And there will be another chapter for tomorrow :3

I also know I skipped a lot of dialogue but I didn't want to bore you guys with that and, plus, Asuga was pretty tied up with her emotions to be concerned with the world around her (yeah, yeah I'm lazy. Someone has to be). -\_(owo)_/-

Peace!
