It was the afternoon. The sun was high in the sky, covered by clouds which created a huge shadow over the forest. The coordinated that they receive, were leading them, deep inside the forest depth with no idea what they should expect forward. Uraraka, lida, Bakugo decided to come with Jirou and Shoji. These two were perfect in this kind of mission. Their quirk would make sure to spot any presence in front of them. Shoji, used his arms to listen closely to his environment. Birds and others small animals caught his attention but no human activity. As for Jirou, for each fifty meters she walked, she would crunch down and insert one of her eardrums in the ground to find any vibration that could be caused by humans presence in the forest. People walking, eating, constructing created different type of vibration, to which she could detect from far away. Her training in UA made her an excellent hero and spy for the authority during stealth mission in the underworld. When both of these heroes heard that their friend might have found a lead about Deku whereabouts, they immediately agreed to come with them. Both of them were in total shock when they heard the details of the lead. They were in disbelieve when they heard that Deku was being tortured somewhere, probably in the coordinated receive by the dark mysterious man. Uraraka needed them to make that it wasn't an ambush since they would be able to hear or see any presence around them, in case the information was false. Jirou and Shoji were really angry when they saw the video to see with their own eyes if Deku was alive, physically?... maybe with time... but mentally?... probably not. They couldn't comprehend the amount of pain he must have felt during these past two years. Anger and regret ate them. They couldn't save him back then but now, they will use every strength in their body to find him and to save him while bringing justice to these criminals.

The team continued to walk deep inside the forest. They were a few miles away from the location and during this time, they haven't detected any other presence than them, making Uraraka wondered if the information was even true in the beginning. She felt afraid and anticipation as she led the group forward. Anticipation to see her lover but afraid to see the damage in front of her. She broked when she saw the video, she didn't know if she could handle in real time. She suddenly felt bakugo hand grasp hers. Sensing her troubled mind, he gave her hand a small squeezed while a grin on his face while making sure that nobody saw his action toward her. Luckily for him, the others were looking around the forest, making sure not to get spotted by a villain or Deku's torturers. Uraraka felt relax at Bakugo's action, returning his smile to him. she now felt that she could face the mission. With new determination in her eyes, she let go of his hand and walked with rapid steps toward the destination, She would find the answer no matter what. Bakugo was content that he managed to ease her mind after what she dealt with. He would make sure to keep her safe from whatever danger that might lurk in these woods while searching for answers. If Deku was in this forest, he will make sure to save him before killing him for the pain he caused to his own girlfriend. He was supposed to be the number one hero and the better between these two. He shouldn't have let himself get captured. All might would have never let this happen to him. After this rescue mission, he would make sure to push the damn nerd in the right direction with training. He needs to get stronger so he could never let himself get captured by a group of madmen.

"fucking nerd" he mumbled under his breath. His eyes fell on Uraraka ass, unable to admire the ways her hips move as she led the team. She was definitely a nice piece ass which made him think back at the night before.

"You're surely in a good mood today, Bakugo-san" lida asked as he noticed the huge smile on his friend's face.

"Shut up four eyes" He said, moving away from him. Sighing, lida decided to let him go. He could never understand his short-tempered colleague.

"GUYS, WE'RE HERE" the group heard Uraraka voice through the tree. They ran toward her location, forgetting everything around their surrounding. As they ran, the path was getting clearer with less tree in their way until they saw a plain field in front of their with Uraraka in front of the entrance. Bakugo recognizes the shock expression on her face which made him a bit nervous by what she saw. Once they all reach her, their mouth fell open.

Bakugo gritted his teeth at the sight in front of him. In the middle of the plain field, there was a military base. His eyes furrowed as he saw a group of soldiers entering the base. They were too far away for him to identify then. Maybe they are a gang of mercenaries.

"Who are them" Jirou asked, wondering if it really was Deku's location.

"They are the EPF." Shoji said, making every was gasp except for Bakugo and Todoroki who kept eyes on the base while still ready to hear his explanation. He told them that with his duplicated arm, he managed to see the EPF logo on their shoulder, destroying any doubt about who the soldiers are but they couldn't believe that a government agency is responsible for Izuku's torture.

"What do we do." Jirou asked. How could they know if the EPF had Deku held inside. They couldn't just knock on their door and ask nicely. Something tells her that they were not supposed to find it.

"Do you think that they were the one who tortured him?"

lida thought about the question. Since he was a man of law and order, he didn't think twice about questioning their ethics. The better logical explanation is that the mysterious dark man lied to them. However, Bakugo didn't share the same thought. He didn't believe one second that an institution couldn't be corrupt. From what hear toward the EPF, He learned that they were used in dirty jobs during times of war. They are in charge of assassination, torture, kidnapping... which means, they knew how to crack a man from its secret. Plus, since they had a lot of freedom, it wasn't impossible for them to hurt innocent people but he knew that he couldn't just barge and accused them without any proof.

Thinking about the situation Shoji thought about a theory. Maybe the EPF was the one who saved him from his torturer, patched up his wounds and offer him a position in their ranks which would explain the similarity between him and the EPF agent who stopped Endeavor from killing everyone in the park. And since he worked with the government, he was probably denied to relieve himself to the public. They kept his identity for a reason, it's related to his assaulter.

His explanation fit with everyone, even Bakugo saw the logic in his explanation. However he still the suspicious that the EPF was responsible in some way.

"Even if your theory is right" Spoked lida "We don't have any proof and we don't have permission to enter the base."

"Then we sneak inside it."

lida gasped at what he heard from Uraraka's mouth. Even Bakugo was stunned by her boldness. He didn't expect her to get this kind of crazy idea inside her head. It's more like something he would do, not her.

lida came running at her while shaking his arm at her for her crazy idea. "Do you have any idea what you're implying. You're suggesting on breaking the law. If you get caught..."

Uraraka raised her hand to stop him in his rampage. She rolled her eyes as she knew that his literature could even rival Deku's murmuring. She didn't feel like listening to his warning.

"I know that I could get arrested by breaking the law and ruined furthermore the image of heroes if the public knew about this. However, it will not stop me from continuing my investigation. I need to know if Deku resided inside the base. You don't have to join me, any of you, but I will infiltrate the base and find the love of my life."

The look on her face sends chills in everyone spines. lida wanted to stop from doing something foolish but he knew that he couldn't do anything to stop her. This situation reminded him the time he went to save Bakugo with Todoroki, momo and Midoriya. He felt angry about himself for not being able to stop them. Now Uraraka will do the exact same thing for Izuku and like last time, he will accompany her to make sure she is saved. With a deep breath, he sighs.

"Alright then, I will come with you."

Ochako eyes widened at his statement. She didn't expect him to agree to her plan. She felt happiness overflowed her. In truth, she didn't want to enter, a highly-secured place alone. She would need a lot of help to sneak in and sneak out without being detected. As she was about to thank him, he interrupted her.

"Don't get me wrong, I want to help you found Midoriya but we can't do it now. We need to regroup with the others and to create a plan of infiltration." he said which cause her to nod with her head.

" Don't leave me out of this four eyes. If she's going, I'm going." Bakugo clenched his fist together. A creepy smile crawls up on his face. Jirou and Shoji agreed with him. They aren't about to let their friend inside a highly secured based on her own. They understand the gravity of their action but finding the truth on the secret death of Izuku is more important to them, especially to Ochako. She needed to find him and they understood. They will stand with her no matter gravity girl couldn't be more happier with her friend's support and assistance.

While everyone gave her their support, Bakugo noticed a light reflexion hitting his right eye. The light was coming behind the bush where it was reflecting. Intrigue by it, he moved with cautious to the source of light. Moving the leaves away, he found a metallic door on the ground which must lead inside a sewer or tunnels. The door could be an entry point inside the base if they could open it. The door needed a four-digit code which he didn't have. He smirks at this. This kind of security is child play for him.

"Guys come here." He yells at the groups, catching their attention.

They came to his location to see him crunch down in front of a metallic door. Intrigued by this, Uraraka asked if it could lead them inside the base.

"I can find out. This is a job for me." Jirou crouched down, next to the door, planting her ear jack in the ground. Each material made different types of vibration. When she planted her earjack, she sensed the type of vibration caused by cement and metal. She also sensed that there was a large amount of space underground which means a tunnel was beneath there feet. They only need the code to enter it. Stating her finding and concern about finding the code, Bakugo smirk at her with a bit of annoyance since she couldn't imagine the simple way to find the code.

"Really Jirou? You call yourself a pro-hero but you can't find a way to bypass a simple four-digit secured door. Pathetic."

Angry at him, she went to stab one of her ear jack in his head. Sensing this Katsuki grabbed her earjack with his hand and send a small explosion which caused her head to explode from the vibration of his hand. She immediately pull back her earjack and caressed it as a single tear fell on her cheek, making him laugh at her misery. Even Ochako giggled a bit. The laughter ended when she felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. Taking it out, she read Todoroki phone number.

"Hey Todoroki. How's it going by your side" She answered

"I managed to find information about the guy who stunned Aizawa and the man gave us the lead on Izuku. They are the same one."

His statement raised questions about the man. Why would he help us find Izuku while at the same time attack a pro-hero. What are his goal.

"That's great! The coordinated led us to the EPF military base. We think that izuku must be working there or being held against his own free will."

"And you're planning on infiltrating it to find the answer, am I right?"

She took a moment to respond, not knowing how he will react. She thought that he would be against her plan but surprisingly, he didn't try to talk her out of it.

"Did you find the tunnel beneath the ground. It should lead us underneath the base."

Her eyebrows raised by this. She didn't recall telling him about the tunnels they found. So how did he knew?

"It's the mysterious man who told me about it. Apparently, he is on our side" He told her before she could ask any further question.

"Do you trust him."

"Yes"

She found it odd that Todoroki would believe someone that attacked our former homeroom teacher. She felt that something was wrong about him. His voice was even plainer than usual bit without proof of her suspicious, she let it go for now.

"If you plan on going inside, then you will need as much help that you need. The mysterious man gave me the base blueprint and security codes. I don't really know what's his goal but I believe that for now, he wants to help us find Izuku, probably for his own goal. Either way, It's our only way to know the true identity of the mysterious EPF's agent. I do believe that he is Izuku and if he's working with them, then he must be somewhere inside. I have more detail for you once we meet up in Mei's workshop.

Todoroki ended the call, leaving Uraraka in her own thought about the situation. She didn't feel at ease about following some stranger help but she knew that it was their only hope to find the truth. Since he knew about her Deku being alive, then he must know where he is and who took him, so she decided to trust him for now until they learn more about him and conclude if he's an ally or an enemy.

Two days later, 01:30 AM.

It was nighttime. The animals in the forest were already sleeping as the cool breeze of wind brushed against them. It was the full moon with stars decorating the black sky above them. Near the metallic door where stood the tunnel's entrance. Tooru would be the first one to infiltrate the base since the camera wouldn't be able to detect her because of her quirk. Once inside she would deactivate the security camera. According to the map, offered by the mysterious man, the security room is located on the fourth floor, room D31. You need a special card key to access the room. If the mysterious told the truth, the keycard that Tooru procced, should be able to open it or else they are doom.

Bakugo gritted his teeth as he saw the invisible girl entering the code of the tunnel's entrance. He didn't trust the man one bit. He couldn't understand how half and half bastard could trust him with the claims he said.

Flashback

"ARE YOU CRAZY" Bakugo yelled as he stood a few inches from Todoroki's face but he didn't react at all. He was used to his tantrum.

"HOW THE HELL CAN YOU TRUST HIM. WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO HE IS."

Everyone in the room agreed with him. They didn't know if they should trust the man who attacked Eraserhead during the attack as he tried to stop Endeavor. But in the other hand, he did give of proof that Izuku wasn't killed during the explosion which means the Mysterious EPF agent could be him. They both have the same quirk.

Todoroki wiped away the spit from his face before looking back at the blond haired boy in front of him.

"I know that any of you don't trust him but he is our only hope of founding Izuku. For months we search for him and we didn't find anything. The man was the only one who managed to confirm that he's alive. If he is alive then he must be the EPF agent who stopped Endeavor. We don't know why he is helping us but this is our only chance to enter the base and find Deku."

Bakugo still didn't trust him but he knew that they had to trust him for now.

"What if he is the one who caused the heroes to go berserk. Maybe he wants us to get caught, further destroying the image of heroes as we will be committing a crime" Momo asked her husband not fully trusting the man.

"I don't believe so because he gave me EPF outfit with keycards, access codes and a map of the facility. If he wanted us to get caught I don't think he would have made our job easier."

"And what if these codes and keycards were false" Bakugo asked with a death glare, not believe that Todoroki was this naive. Luckily for him, he had a plan of action to make sure if the keycards were legit.

Todoroki planned on sending Tooru first since she infiltrates the base undetected with no difficulty. She's an expert in this kind of situation. Her goal would be to use the keycard to enter the security room and used deactivation code to shut down the security system without raising an alarm. If she could do it then it's the proof that the man wasn't lying. If not then they will abort the mission.

Momo didn't like the idea of using her friend as a bait but Tooru interrupted her before she could say anything.

"Don't worry guys. This kind of situation is perfect for me"

Momo sighed as she guesses that her friend was smiling underneath her invisibility. She infiltrated so many villains lair that it got boring to her. Infiltrating a military base will be quite a thrill to her, you could hear the excitement in her voice.

With no further objection, they move on into the plan.

End of flashback

"Here Tooru" Uraraka gave her three security keycard to which she picked up after removing her clothes. Every male in this mission always wondered what she looks like without her quirk. Unfortunately for them, they would never find out.

Once her clothes were off, she picks up the keycards, making them invisible as well. She learned this trick three years ago. She can make any object invisible, depending on the size. the bigger the object, the less time it takes to keep it invisible.

The rest of the team, which included Uraraka, Todoroki, lida, Bakugo, Jirou, Shoji, Momo and Kirishima, wore the EPF uniform to hide in plain sight without a problem. The rest of the former A-1 student couldn't be here because of their hero duty. Bakugo wasn't even supposed to be here since he was the number one hero and had a lot of work to do. He paused it so he could assist in this mission. If somebody gonna find the damn nerd then it would be him and no one else.

Tooru inserts the access code to the door and enters it. The place was dark and the walls were really week. The tunnel hasn't been used in years. Before the base became a military base, it was a mining facility. The workers used stash metals and mineral in these caves to keep it safe from the environment. According to their contact, when the EPF constructed the base, before Bishop was in charge, the passageway was covered except for the boss office which was connected to the tunnels via a hidden door through his library, underneath the base. It was his escape plan if one day the worker decided to rebel against him and his man.

As Tooru walked through the tunnels she used the invisible map in her hand to guide herself to the objective while making sure not make noise. Since it was completely dark, she had a small flashlight to help her see things forwards. Once she reached the destination, she thought that made a mistake because a wall stood in front of her.

"Guys it's a dead end" She spoke through the comms

Hearing this, Bakugo turned around and glared at Todoroki with a look on his face that told him 'I told you so'. He knew that the mysterious man was full of bullshit, but before he could insult him, Shoto spoke knowing exactly what to do.

"Tooru, the door is hidden behind the wall. There must be a secret button which reveals the door. Try to find if one of the brick is more loosen than the rest."

She nodded at his explanation and started to look through each brick with care until she found one that was sticking out more than usual. She removed the brick and discovered secret button inside of it. Pressing it, she activated the mechanism behind the wall, shifting it until the wall completely disappear into the ground. Proud of herself, she told the rest of the teams about the secret passage. Bakugo snorted while Todoroki gave him a small smirk.

"Whatever" he mumbled.

Inside the wall, Tooru reached a red door in front of her. Turning the knob, she entered the secret library of the former boss of the miners. It contained so many old books of the 21 century and 20 century. Not wanting to get distracted by the beautiful decor of the room, the exited by using the big door at the end of the wall. According to the map, the elevator should be to her right. Looking inside the keyhole, she didn't saw any guard presence, in front of the door. Opening it carefully without making any noise she enter the hallway, looking right and left before closing the door behind her.

She moved to the right while avoiding everybody in front of her like a chameleon who's hiding from his prey by using its environment. Her invisibility is perfect for this kind of situation. No camera or human eyes could detect her. She was like the wind blowing through the air. Steps were carefully made so guards could hear the sound of a naked woman walking a military base. After bypassing everyone, she finally reached the elevator where she saw that somebody was coming to her floor. Putting her back against the wall, she waited for the guards to bypass her. When the elevator's door opened, Two guards came out of it.

Tooru put her back against the wall, taking a deep breath so they couldn't hear or feel her breathing. Once they bypassed her, she jogged inside the elevator before it closed. The elevator went up until it reached the fourth floor where the security room should be located. She walked out of it while making sure that no one would notice that an elevator was activated on its own.

The walk to the target was fairly easy. There weren't any more guards who opposed her path so she reached the room in less than five minutes. Behind the door, she could hear the voice of two guards who were talking to each other.

"I need to take them down quickly once I open the door" She thought as she pressed the keycards against the lock, unlock it automatically. The guards were spooked when they hear the door opening behind them. The security guard with the blue cap stood from his chair and marched toward the entrance with his taser gun in his hand. He looked at both sides of the hallway to find no living soul at all except for the void. Thinking that the mechanism of the door broke, he turned around without any suspicion. He gasped when he saw his partner on the ground unconscious.

"What happened." He was about to contact for help through comms but he was unable to do it. He felt a pitch on the side of his neck, freezing him in place before he fell on the ground just like his friend a few inches away from him.

Clapping her hand in satisfaction, Tooru moved over the secure panel where there were so many buttons that she didn't understand. At least she knew where to press to deactivated the security measure like cameras and motion detectors which are located in the basement of the prison, where they kept things highly confidential. According to the mysterious man, they should be able to locate the hidden EPF agent in there once the security measures are disabled. Entering the shutdown code, the base was completely defenceless. Now, they only need to worry about the guards which would be easy to avoid with the EPF uniforms that were provided to them.

"Guys, the man was right about the keycards and code. The security system has been shut down like he said it would" She spoke through her comms.

"This is great. He didn't lie to us after all." Kirishima told everyone while pumping his fist into the air.

Bakugo just looked at him before pushing him away from his path. "Whatever" he mumbled as he took position near the tunnels. His eyes fell on him, showing him that he was right for now, but he wouldn't leave the idea of being a trap, just yet.

Todoroki didn't care about his glare as he moved toward Uraraka, patting her shoulder which made her look at him to see him with a small smile.

"It's time to go Uraraka. Let's find Deku"

She smiles at him with eyes filled with hopes of finding her love.

"Are you guys ready" Momo looked around her to see her friends gearing and warming up. They were all ready for the mission. They knew that what they will be doing is illegal but they were ready to take the risk if it allowed them to know the truth about their friend died and if he's working with the EPF. If everything goes according to plan then, they wouldn't get caught by the authority, which will still keep the image of heroes intact for now.

Back Inside the security room, Tooru sighed as her role was done. She only needed to get down and joins the other. As she stood up from her seat, chills went down her spine as she felt the breathing of someone behind her. The room became suddenly dark, only the screen monitors were keeping her from being devoured by darkness. Making sure not to make any sudden move so she wouldn't get caught by the guards behind her, she turned around expecting to see a normal EPF agent but what she saw was the complete opposite of her wish. In front of her stood a tall which seems to be looking at her.

"He can't see me... right? I'm completely invisible." Her knees fell weak at the man send a powerful dark aura inside the room. Lights from the monitors were reflecting on his body where it was covered by metallic parts. He even had some parts on his face which made him impossible to identify. The only thing that she could see from him was his left glowing eye, piercing into her soul. Moving carefully to her right so she wouldn't get detected by him, her eyes widened as the strange man's head followed her. She let out a shrieked when she saw his left hand swinging towards her neck. Time seems to slow down for her, her life flashed before her eyes. She didn't have any time to react. His speed was evenly matched as Izuku's. She couldn't get away even if she tried to.

SLASH*

The all monitors screen were covered by blood, pouring down into the panels. Then a thumb was heard as someone fell on the ground.

Far up into the air, a stealth helicopter flew above the base. There were three people inside of it, the pilot, co-pilot and the director of the EPF: Bishop.

The tall man in uniform looked down below as he got intrigued by the sudden event that was happening.

"So you decided to make a move against me after all... Otōto." The man smirk, showing his teeth on the display below him.

"I wonder what you wish to accomplish"

The pilots turned around as they hear the chilling laugh of their boss behind them. They pray to return safe and sound with their family before the end of the night.

Sorry guys, it's been a while since I updated the story. I don't really have a excuse, I just didn't felt the motivation of writing so I took a break from it. I hope that you can understand.
