Good Things Come to an end

"Bakugou!"

"Lord explosion murder, reveal yourself!"

"Bakugou! Where are you?"

"Creature, if you do not reveal yourself I will burn down this forest!"

"Bakugou!"

Bakugou cringed. Before he had always thought there would be no disadvantages to his extended hearing. However at that moment Bakugou contemplated cutting his ears off all together.

The alien in question was currently residing high up in one of the tallest trees he could find. All around him there were multiple voices calling his name. Most from Endeavors soldiers all around him, calling out for lord explosion murder. There were a few calling him by his given name, though none of them sounded like the soldiers that had been there in the attack. He thought he heard half-and-half at one point. The idea made him groan. He didn't want that weak human looking for him. If he was looking for him, that must have meant humans had found his wake of destruction.

Uraraka. He'd been gone for a few hours now. Had she seen the house? Did she know it was him? There was no way she could have known how he did it. But whenever he closed his eyes he could only see her heartbroken face staring at him. And deep down he knew he deserved it.

"Bakugou." He froze. That voice was much closer than the others.

Looking down the tree, he caught sight of a familiar face staring up at him. Aizawa, thankfully alone, stood at the trunk of his tree staring up at him. He was in his alien form, the one Bakugou would be able to identify easily. Bakugou wanted to curse at the world. Of all the people to find him, why Aizawa? And why now, at what felt like his lowest point? Worst of all, Aizawa was staring straight up at him, waiting patiently for Bakugou to come down.

Eventually Bakugou jumped down to the earth. His crash left a loud boom that resounded through the forest. He hoped that others would assume it was just another tree falling. "How did you find me?"

"You weren't that hard to find," Aizawa admitted. "You left a number of explosions and broken forestry behind you," he said while waving to the trees scattered behind him. Bakugou scowled but didn't explain himself.

"So you really were here," Bakugou snarled at Aizawa. "Spying on me?"

"Yes," Aizawa answered without hesitation. "It was either spy on your or take you in." after a pause to make sure Bakugou wouldn't attack he asked, "How did you know that?"

"That m#($&(%&^(g general told me after attacking me with his weaklings." Under his breath Aizawa cursed. So those were the people trying to find him in the forest. Bakugou caught it a raised an eyebrow at him. "Aren't you with them?"

"Yes. But only by association. We have different goals." He pushed his hands into his pockets. Bakugou hated how relaxed Aizawa was acting. Bakugou was wearing only his pants and some boots because his shirt had been torn apart in his escape. He'd had to return to his original form in order to fight back and be prepared for another attack. What kind of world let Aizawa relax in that situation? "I spied on you," Aizawa continued, "To try and prove to the others that you could do more than destroy." Bakugou flinched. Visibly. Aizawa caught the movement and paused. "What's wrong?"

"…Things were different here." Aizawa raised an eyebrow. It was clear he didn't understand where Bakugou was going with this, but decided not to change the subject. "…I was different. And it was…better. It felt good."

"I know. I saw. Bakugou, you can be different," he tried to tell him, but everything he said did not reach the heart.

"Can I?" Bakugou exclaimed, turning on Aizawa in a flash. "I blew up her house. She doesn't have an f!(#(*%g clue who I am. All I do is screw up good stuff. All I can do is destroy!"

"Just the fact that you feel guilt around that means that you can change. That you have changed." Bakugou said nothing. He heard the shift as Aizawa moved closer to Bakugou. He felt what was supposed to be a comforting hand on his shoulder but shook it off immediately. Aizawa did not try again. "Bakugou. I know you didn't mean to do this. Before you would have laughed in the face of all this, but now you wish it hadn't happened. Doesn't that prove you have changed?" For a moment Aizawa held his breath. Bakugou's answer took quite a long time to come.

And when it did, it wasn't what Aizawa had hoped to hear. "…I want to go back to that."

"What?"

"I want to be like that again!" Bakugou straightened, staring at Aizawa with a rage grown from despair. "I want to be like that again! The f #k with all these f (#($&g feelings and regrets! I want to be able to destroy everything and everyone without giving a s #t! The good feelings ain't worth all this f$*%%*g pain! I didn't ask for any of this s #t! It's all your fault!" He pointed at Aizawa who was able to remain surprisingly calm through Bakugou's tantrum. "You! You kept telling me how I could be different and how oh so f! $%(g great it is! What kind of sick m )*#(*(%&%r chooses this for themselves? It's your fault for making me think changing was so good! Stupid dumb humans like Deku, Kirishima, Jiro, Momo and freaking half-and-half all making their way of life look so And Uraraka for making me learn how to change! For stupid round-faced Uraraka for making me want to! I never asked either of you f (#*%#s to be nice to me! I didn't ask the two of you to care about my wellbeing! How dare both of you! How-" Bakugou choked, the words catching in his throat. Aizawa waited in silence as Bakugou scrambled to find the words to force out. When Bakugou looked up again, tears dotted his eyes.

"…H-how come I have to care so f )$*%&#g much about you people?"

And that was the moment Aizawa wore the first real smile he'd had so far that whole day.

Because he knew Bakugou was still a monster. But he was a good man along with that.

Their moment was interrupted with the sound of a yell. "Katsuki! Are you okay? Katsuki!" Bakugou's eyes widened. There was only one person who he would ever allow to call him by his first name. And lucky for them, that person was the one calling it. However, when he heard her voice call out to him, he also heard a number of other footsteps stop. Then some head in the direction that her voice came from. That made his blood begin to boil and the red in his eyes went from the colour of a dull wine to a fearsome flame.

"Uraraka!" Before Aizawa could say anything Bakugou was on his feet and staring in the direction the voice came from.

Realizing his intention, Aizawa hissed. "No Bakugou!" Aizawa tried to reach out and stop him before he got away. "Endeavors men are still around!" But Bakugou was faster. Bakugou raced through the trees with a vengeance, eyes focused on the prize and nothing else. It only took Aizawa a second to blink. And when he opened his eyes, Bakugou was gone.

…

"Katsuki! Please, please be out here! Say something!"

Uraraka had only said Bakugou's first name maybe once or twice before. It felt foreign on her lips and she wondered whether Bakugou would be angry at her for using it. But she was so desperate at that moment that she really didn't care how angry he would be. As long as it got his attention that was all she cared about.

With tired aching feet Uraraka ran aimlessly thought the forest, knowing there was no way she could possibly scour the entire forest but tried anyway. Bakugou HAD to be out there somewhere. She refused to believe what Jiro had said was true. There was no way Bakugou was a part of it. There was no way Bakugou was her enemy. He was her friend, he'd proven that! Maybe- she'd started to wonder if they may have been something more. But above all else, she trusted him! There was no way he played any part in what had happened.

Sure, what Jiro said made sense. It was weird that two untraceable explosions both happened surrounding the same person. Along with how Bakugou treated people and how he didn't seem to understand her culture at all. And with what Tokoyami said about Bakugou not being a resident at the apartment and appearing out of nowhere…No. No! The Bakugou she knew was not some kind of…what? A terrorist? No, there was no way! He couldn't be! He'd protected her, he'd helped her. A-and even if he was, what good would destroying a run-down apartment and a random house in the middle of nowhere be? Neither of those two places would inspire much terror in the country. And both of those places weren't wealthy so he didn't gain anything out of it. They- there was no way. No, Uraraka couldn't let herself doubt him. What kind of a friend would that make her?

Trying to shake her head clear of all doubts she called again, even louder that time. "Katsuki!"

"Ochaco, shut the f #k up!"

Uraraka barely had time to scream before a large black and orange palm clamped over her mouth. She felt a rush of air as she was pulled into the chest of whom must have been Bakugou. Despite her shock Uraraka breathed the biggest sigh of relief in her entire life. He's okay, Uraraka decided. No matter what, he's okay. If she couldn't feel his heart beating a million miles per hour in his chest, she would have relaxed completely. But Bakugou's arms were so tense around her that she wondered if she was actually being held by a stone statue. She felt the tip of his chin atop her head and that his jaw was stiff. His body posture made her tense as well and hold her breath. If she could see him she would see his eyes staring forward, waiting impatiently for his enemies to appear. Uraraka didn't know what she was waiting for, but as long as her friend…

What…

The…

Heck.

Her eyes must have widened to the size of stars when she saw two…beings crawl through the forest in the distance. One was on all fours- four, long, slimy tentacles as legs. The creature wore a strange black uniform and with four tentacles for legs, two holding up a gun-shaped weapon and a gooey purple head with eight eyes across the face. At his side was a large, wolf-looking creature nearly twice her size. It wore black pants, carried two guns and had pure black eyes that were impossible to read. Both studied the surroundings while marching on like soldiers. Not odd creatures that looked like they came out of a children's drawings. But they were very real, far too close for her liking and nothing like she had ever seen before.

Certainly not human.

Then she looked down and saw that the hand holding her wasn't human either.

She let out loudest muffled scream she possible could. Bakugou cursed before tightening his grip around her to keep her in place. Uraraka screamed and thrashed in his arms, but Bakugou's hold was even stronger than when they had sparred together. She struggled, tried desperately to get away, to prove the ideas forming in her head was just her crazy imagination. A result of stress, but not real. He would not release his hold on her until the two creatures had disappeared through the wood. Even after, he did not let her move for some time until any sound that followed them was gone.

Then, with great regret, he released her.

With a gasp Uraraka stumbled forwards. She fell to her knees, clutching at her chest and neck to catch her breath. Bakugou had done nothing to stop her breathing. Her own fear had cut off her lungs. Those- things- were definitely not from earth. But she didn't understand…"What were those things?" Uraraka gasped.

There was a pause before he answered. "Aliens." There was no doubt that the voice belonged to Bakugou. But there was also no doubt in his voice when he answered.

"Real aliens?" Uraraka's voice cracked. Tears pricked the corners of her eyes, but she refused to let them fall. "From star wars or star trek?" With great difficulty, Uraraka forced herself to stand. "And…and you know that," She stated, already knowing the answer. "Your hand…it's not the same hand that I fought with…I-it's bigger, and pure black…" Uraraka remembered the cosplay Bakugou had been wearing when she first met him. Back then shed assumed he'd had it on before they got there and it was made of good enough quality so it survived with him. But the realistic part of her mind told her that even if that was the case, there was no way Bakugou would have been able to put it on at her place. She'd seen him only a few hours before- and there were no materials in her house he could have used. And those creature she saw were definitely not in costumes.

With shaking hands, Uraraka slowly turned to face him. When she finally opened her eyes, she knew that what she was seeing was not a costume.

The creature she saw behind her was Bakugou. But not the one she had gotten to know. He was taller than the Bakugou she knew, at least a few inches, and wider too. She had been right about his hands. Large, orange and black instead of small and pale. At his forearm where the tattoos used to be were large, metal shapes that looked like grenades. There was a mist that surrounded him, something Uraraka wasn't sure if it was really there or just her imagination. His shirt was gone, revealing his chest, except that time it was covered in scars and stitches that weren't there before. The tips of his messy blond hair were sparkling with tiny flames. On his back was a procession of spikes that steadily got larger as it went down, into it reached a hanging green tail that was pointed at the end. As Uraraka slowly lifted her gaze up, she found that his mouth was so wide it almost reached his ears and was filled with pointed teeth. At his ears there were two black flaps of skin with pointed edges.

Finally she reached the eyes. The dark, red, wide eyes that she had been staring into for months without doubt. She had never once questioned why he felt the need to always wear those weird, red contacts. It had been his choice, a style that he apparently would wear even into the night. She'd never let herself think too much about it. Uraraka wasn't one to judge.

But at that moment? The red eyes that were surrounded by a darkness the colour of ash stared back at her. And she knew they weren't fake. Those were the eyes of the man she had trusted. And the creature that had taken that trust and crushed it.

Katsuki Bakugou said nothing as Uraraka turned to face him. Her eyes were wider than the stars of the Milky Way, yet he felt no warmth. Her eyes scanned him, and he was vaguely reminded of his day at court. When he felt all those eyes looking all over him, studying him to decide his fate. What their eyes saw would decide whether he lived or died.

Bakugou decided that the feeling he got from Uraraka's eyes was much worse.

Her honey brown eyes met his blood red eyes. Her head was swarming with ideas, but the truth pushed its way through. The truth that she had wanted to avoid for a long time. Something that had always been present in her mind, an itch that continued to yell and scream at her. No matter how long Uraraka tried to plug her ears and pretend not to see it, it would never leave. And now, it was unavoidable.

"A-are you a criminal? Bakugou?"

"…Yeah."

She let out a sound similar to a sob. Her hand clamped over her mouth to stop it, and her breathing became tight as she struggled to maintain a steady rhythm. So it was true. All that everyone had said, all that she'd tried to ignore…But it was even worse than that. He wasn't some petty, rob a grocery store criminal. He wasn't even a terrorist like she'd thought. "You are…an alien then?" Bakugou said nothing, but his silence was his answer. "One of them?" She waved in the direction the other creatures-aliens had left. Momentarily his eyes flickered in that direction, but he said nothing. "You're an alien…th-that's why you always called everyone humans, and didn't understand stuff…" His silence continued. Uraraka wished he would just say something. Anything would be better than him letting her come to her own conclusions.

"You…you did it? Did you wreck my parents' house?" Silence again. And then…

"Yes."

"Why?" Bakugou frowned, confused for the first time. Tears that Uraraka had been holding back that whole day finally started to fall, cascading in rivers down her cheeks. "Why would you do that? Even if you're some criminal, and an alien, I thought…Weren't we friends? I thought you said you cared about me! Was that a lie?" She was screaming. She didn't even care of the other aliens heard her and tried to find them. None of them matter at that moment. "After all that we've been through together- did you ever care? Was everything a lie? Were you just- using me? W-when I thought we were getting closer, was it just you pretending to care about me? I thought we were friends and…even more than…Was it all fake? Can you even care? Can you love?"

"I-"

"NO!" Uraraka shouted when Bakugou tried to reach out to her. "DON'T come near me!" He stopped, his red eyes wide and attentive. She let out another sob that she quickly covered with her hand. Different emotions flickered through Bakugou's eyes, but she didn't bother to read them. "You destroyed my house! My parents' house, even though you knew how much it meant to me, you destroyed it! It's gone, everything I worked for is gone! Did you even think about how I would feel?"

"Of course I f (#)*$g did!" Bakugou shouted back. "You were the first thing I thought about! Uraraka, I,"

"SHUT UP!" Uraraka screamed at him. "You don't get to say anything! Not after what you've done! You lied to me, you used me, you destroyed my parents' home and all their memories, you made me love you!" Uraraka chocked. Both her hands were tightened into fists at her side. She didn't bother trying to hide the tears anymore. She didn't care if he saw her pain. Actually, she wanted him to see it. Maybe then he'd actually feel something over what he'd done.

There was a pause as the only sound in the area was Uraraka's heavy breathing. Bakugou was trembling all over. He wanted to act. He wanted to move, dammit! Stop crying, stop crying! His entire being shook with every tear that fell. His whole world was shattering like a glass and she was stomping on the pieces. This wasn't what he wanted. He hated this! He wanted her smile, he wanted her big brown eyes, he wanted her soft hugs and innocent laughter. Not this pain. He'd rather be stabbed through the chest and struck by lightning than this.

Finally, Uraraka spoke again. "…Leave." Bakugou froze. When Uraraka's eyes finally lifted to meet hers, they were filled with a rage he doubted even he could match. "Get out. Go. If you're really an alien, there must be a bunch of other worlds, right? Go!" She yelled, waving her arms in earnest. "Get off of this planet! I never want to see your face again Bakugou! I-I," Uraraka choked once again. Her eyes met his, a glass plane covered in waves meeting the eyes made of glass that was shattering. "I can't believe I was stupid enough to love you."

No.

Not that.

Why?

F (#)*&&%)g dammit, why that?

He'd wished she'd just stab him. It would hurt less than that.

It felt like being shattered. The few words made the whole world stop and like a piece of glass just- crash. He didn't want her to say that. Heck, he wanted to make her take it back. She loved him? She said it. But in the absolutely worst way possible. It was like he was being offered the world only for that world and everything else he cared about to be taken away.

Take it back. Take it back, he begged in his mind. But Bakugou was too proud to say it.

Uraraka was heaving as she stared at him. Her anger started to dissipate after she'd used her energy and said all she wanted to say. With the wave of anger gone though, her eyes started to clear. And they widened. She was shocked to see that the man who hid his emotions under a million layers of iron was wearing his emotions on his sleeve.

And he was breaking.

"…Bakugou?"

"This human honestly was in love with a monster?" A voice next to her muttered. "Proof that this civilization deserves to be a level 2 planet."

Both Uraraka and Bakugou jumped. Uraraka spun around and would have screamed if her voice wasn't so worn from all the running and yelling. In front of her was a large, giant-like creature that seemed to be completely covered in fire. It had eyes however, and those pale blue eyes leered down at her. Uraraka was so startled she fell backward on the ground. The creature-alien-tilted it's head at her. "Who are you girl? An accomplice of lord explosion murder's?"

Bakugou snarled at him. Moron, he chastised himself. He was so caught up in his conversation with Uraraka that he hadn't even noticed when that loser appeared. "Get the f #k away from her," Bakugou growled at him. Endeavor lifted his gaze to narrow his eyes at him, suspicious. Probably ready for another fight. But Bakugou noticed he wasn't fighting. Odd. The man had fought right away last time. Why wasn't…

Then the ground around them glowed.

Stupid. Stupid Bakugou, he hadn't been paying attention. Normally he would have run when the blue lights on the ground came to encircle him, making a hard glass grow in a cage around him. But when he tried to move, he found he couldn't. His energy was gone. He stared at the ground, helpless, as one glass cage formed around him and the other at his side.

Two circles? Two cages? But…No.

"LET HER GO YOU J!( )*$&%)(*(S" Bakugou shouted at him. "SHE AIN'T GOT F #K TO DO WITH THIS!" Uraraka trembled in her glass cage, trying to break the glass but had lost too much energy in the day.

"The human is an accomplice of lord explosion murders," Endeavor said to the soldier as if he didn't hear Bakugou. "We must figure out what exactly she plotted with him. She seems to be crazy enough to care for him. It will be up to the jury to decide whether she be simply imprisoned or executed for association."

"F*$K! YOU MORON! YOU KNOW THAT AIN'T S #T!" He banged against the glass, rattling his cage. "Just take me! I don't even give a f #k anymore, just let her stay!" At first Endeavor didn't respond, watching as his soldiers one by one were teleported back to the ship. But then, just before he himself was teleported, he turned back to Bakugou. The smile in his eyes shook Bakugou to the core.

You made this happen. You put us through all this trouble? Then you'd better pay for it. Then, in a blue light, he was transported back as well.

"No!" Bakugou slammed against his cage. No, that wouldn't happen! He wouldn't let them take Uraraka to get back at him. A green light of the transport started to form around him. Like heck, Bakugou cursed. Luckily they hadn't taken the time to ensure the glass. With a quick swipe of his tail he swung it around and sliced through the glass, shattering it and freeing him. He jumped out of the cage the instant before it was transported up.

But when he spun to his side however, the green light had already started to form around Uraraka's cage. "Bakugou!" She cried, hammering at the glass for dear life. Bakugou was taken aback by the fear in her eyes. "W-what's going on?" He'd kill Endeavor for putting that fear in her eyes.

"NO!" he shouted once again, diving for her cage. But even with all the enhancements, advantages and training he had done in his life, it didn't matter.

He was just a moment to slow.

Uraraka was taken into the ship above. Bakugou hit the ground where Uraraka had been just a second ago, too late.

…

"Is that what I think it is?"

Todoroki looked up to the sky where Shinsou was pointing. His eyes widened when he caught the sight of a green light shining from the ground up. That could only mean one thing, and it wasn't what they wanted to see. The two men looked at each other, a feeling of dread building up in each of them. Are we too late? If they were, that could cause a number of complications.

But his main concern wasn't that at the moment. He needed to find Uraraka.

"Let's keep moving," Todoroki suggested. Shinsou nodded and the two rushed off without argument. Silently they scanned the woods, eyes darting here and there to try and find their missing members. Uraraka had been yelling a while ago, Todoroki was sure. That had to be her voice. Though he hadn't heard what she was saying, he could hear the emotions in her words. Surprise. Fear. Anger. Then fear again. What had happened?

As the two kept running, they were stopped only when they caught sight of a blur of black running in the same direction. Instantly alert, both Shinsou and Todoroki halted as they came to a clearing, meeting up with the black blur. When they all stopped the two realized it was a man dressed in all black with dark scruffy hair. Considering all that had happened that day, Todoroki decided that saying the man was just a random hiker or homeless man sleeping in the woods was unlikely.

"Who are you?" Shinsou asked before Todoroki had the chance.

At first the man said nothing. Then, slowly, he came to relax and stood up straight. "Aizawa. I'm looking for a…a friend." Todoroki raised his eyebrow in suspicion. He doubted there could be that many people lost in the woods at once.

"So are we," Todoroki told him. "Who are you looking for?" Aizawa said nothing at first. His eyes narrowed at both of them, clearly trying to study whether they were trustworthy or not. Todoroki took the chance to come to his own conclusions. There could have been a number of reasons they saw that green burst of light in the sky, but he could make a few guesses. Now whether this man was involved in all that was going on was a different story altogether. To be safe, Todoroki noticed that Shinsou had knelt into a crouch, ready to fight if necessary.

However they were all interrupted before a fight broke up. There was a cry, a loud, piercing, heartbreaking scream. It echoed through the once silent forest, catching all of them off guard. The voice was so torn and broken that it shook Todoroki to his core. What was worse was that he recognized it. Aizawa immediately snapped in the direction of the voice. "Bakugou!" In an instant he was sprinting in the direction of the voice, Todoroki and Shinsou hot on his trail. A sinking suspicion loomed over Todoroki as they rushed to source of the sound.

They were not surprised when they finally got to a clearing where, of course, Bakugou was. However they were all surprised to find Bakugou shouting and cursing at the sky above him. "M (#&*(%&(*^*S! GET BACK DOWN HERE YOU PIECES OF S #T! GET BACK DOWN HERE AND FIGHT ME! GIVE HER THE F #K BACK!" Todoroki felt his blood drain. Give her back?

Aizawa tried taking a few steps towards him. "Bakugou-"

"YOU GOOD FOR NOTHING EXTRAS! I'LL F ()$&#G MURDER EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU LOW-LIVES!"

"Bakugou!" Bakugou twisted around to see the new faces, his face full of rage. Shinsou and Todoroki both stepped back when they saw Bakugou's form. He certainly…didn't look human. At first it looked like Bakugou was going to attack them, but when he saw Aizawa the rage slowly faded. Instead what remained was something Todoroki never expected to see in Bakugou before.

A broken man.

He slumped to the ground, resting his elbows on his knees so he could cover his face with his hands. Shinsou looked to Todoroki for guidance, but Todoroki said nothing. The feeling of dread was building in his stomach. Only Aizawa moved. "Bakugou," Aizawa knelt down beside him. "What happened?"

"The b #($ d took Uraraka," Bakugou spat. "I got out but they took Uraraka to punish me."

Both Todoroki and Shinsou tensed up. That was the last thing they expected and most certainly the worst case scenario. What were they going to tell Midoriya?

There was shuffling behind them. "J-Jiro!" Todoroki and Shinsou turned, shocked to see a number of people rushing over to them through the woods. As called, Jiro got there first. Todoroki's eyes widened when he saw a red-haired man following behind…also looking a little less than human. From talking to Momo lately Todoroki could guess who the man was. And seeing him now only made him groan. Another one?

Kirishima blinked at Shinsou and Todoroki. "Huh? Who are you two?"

"Not important," Shinsou answered quickly, making sure to keep the focus off them. "Who are you?"

"Who cares about that?" Jiro exclaimed. "Where is- whoa!" She jumped back when she caught sight of Bakugou and Aizawa. Neither of them reacted as she stumbled backwards, though coming to terms with what she was seeing quicker than they expected. Perhaps it had something to do with the not so human man following her.

After his eyes trailed over Jiro, Bakugou's eyes widened at Kirishima, only then noticing the man's true form. "S\#t," he cursed. "You too?"

Kirishima had done so much apologizing that day, he didn't have the energy to do anything other than shrug. "Sorry man," he muttered. "I work with Aizawa."

At first Kirishima expected him to jump out at him. But Bakugou just shook his head at the ground, not enough energy to fight. "This has been one f (#)&g day." Aizawa frowned at Jiro next to Kirishima, but Kirishima would not meet his eyes.

Coming up behind Jiro, three more people followed. Todoroki cursed when he saw Momo with Midoriya and Tokoyami. Why hadn't he stopped them from coming? Both Tokoyami and Momo's eyes bugged out of their skin when they saw Kirishima, Bakugou and Aizawa all together. Todoroki nearly had a heart attack when Yaoyorozu like she was going to faint. "Oh my…" She covered her mouth with both hands. "Kirishima…he was telling the truth…" Oh no. Todoroki turned to Kirishima accusingly. What exactly had he told them

"I think there are a number of explanations needed here," Tokoyami muttered.

"That can wait," Midoriya interrupted. "First off, where is Uraraka?" His eyes landed on Bakugou, expecting an answer.

But it was Aizawa who answered for him. "She was taken by an alien known as Endeavor." Tokoyami and Yaoyorozu seemed to pale at the mention of alien. Aizawa ignored it however and went on. "Endeavor is a general from the intergalactic military defense. His mission must have been to come and get Bakugou, but he took the human- Uraraka instead."

"She's gone?" Jiro asked, her voice coming out as a whisper. Slowly, her voice started to build, louder and heavier than before. "She's gone because of him?" She turned on Bakugou who would not meet her eyes. "They were supposed to take you and they took my friend instead? How is that fair? What did Uraraka do?"

"Jiro-" Kirishima tried to go comfort her, but she immediately shook him off. Looking like a kicked puppy he stepped away so Momo could wrap her arms around Jiro. Todoroki could assume that this Kirishima was the man Momo had said Jiro was seeing. From the looks of things his reveal hadn't gone that well.

Todoroki couldn't help but sympathise with Jiro. She not only found out the man she was seeing was an alien, but now one of her closest friends had been taken away as well for a crime she didn't commit. Todoroki's hands tightened into fists unconsciously. If only I'd done something before…

"I'll get her back."

All eyes shifted to Bakugou. The man finally looked up, many of the humans shying away from his cold red eyes. But some saw the determination in those eyes as well. "I'll get her back. I'll go up to that m ()#&)(#g ship and bring her back here, whether those a#()*$()*%s want me to or not." Bakugou pushed himself off the ground, Aizawa following silently. "I've got my ship. And those pile of junk military ships ain't gonna get them anywhere fast enough." Finally he looked up, meeting Jiro's eyes with a vengeance. "I'll get Uraraka back if it kills me." Jiro's eyes widened. Anyone could tell that she was not pleased or happy. But, slowly, she nodded with the same determination in her eyes.

Todoroki felt bad being the bearer of bad news. "…Your ship was damaged in the explosion," Todoroki told him, making Bakugou turn to face him. "It won't be flying anytime soon." Bakugou cursed to himself.

"We'll use mine." Bakugou spun around to face Aizawa. The man just stared back at him, giving the smallest nod so only Bakugou could see it. "We'll save your friend." Bakugou said nothing right away. But when he turned away, Todoroki could see a small smile on his face.

"Ah yeah!" Kirishima pumped his arms in the air. "Let's go! Rescue mission!" Spinning around he held out a nervous hand to Jiro. "Come on! I'll show you a real space ship!" While her eyes did light up at the idea, she still narrowed them at him.

"I'm still mad at you, you jerk." Kirishima pouted as Jiro turned away from him. Aizawa raised an eyebrow as if to ask, 'is there something you'd like to tell me?' Kirishima purposefully did not meet his eyes, looking quite sheepish.

Midoriya nodded, apparently the calmest of the humans. "Yeah, we have to save Uraraka. We will need to get in the air as soon as possible. I doubt they will be too happy when they find out that its Uraraka not Bakugou in their cage." Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his phone quickly. "I'm calling Tsyuu," Midoriya stated.

Jiro turned to him incredulously. "What's she going to do? Ask her students to make little paper airplanes that we can throw at the spaceship?" Yaoyorozu also frowned in disapproval. She was probably thinking it was a bad idea to involve Tsyuu in all this. Not only was there little she could do, but how exactly where they going to explain to someone who hadn't been there that her friend was kidnapped by alien military men?

"I don't care what the f #k you do, deku," Bakugou snarled at him, making Midoriya take a few steps back. "I'm gonna go get Uraraka back."
