"Katsuki..." I whispered to him. It was during the summer before school started. It was a few days before the new school year started so I invited him over. Naturally, he refused, but I got him to come in the end.

"What?" He snapped at me, his attitude brought a small smile to my face.

"Do you like me?" I asked, somewhat in a bored tone. I honestly couldn't tell our standstill with each other; I wasn't able to tell if he hated me or had gotten use to me.

He looked up from his phone and sent me a look. "The hell? Don't tell me you caught some of those nasty ass girly feelings for me. I'll beat ya up if you did-"

I shook my head. A little more embarrassed now for asking that type of question. "No...forget it..."

Why did that memory had to wiggle it's way into my mind? I shook my head lightly as we waited for the thirty second count down to enter the building.

"Nervous?" Uraraka-san asked me with a light tone.

I sighed, rubbing the back of my neck. "No, more like annoyed with myself..." I grumbled.

"Ah it seems like there's no penalties like Aizawa-sensei, so that's relieving, huh?" Uraraka-san attempted to break the awkward silence that settled over us but I only sighed, shifting my weight onto my other foot.

"OH MY GOD YOU'RE SWEATING THROUGH YOUR SUIT!" I looked over with a small cuoristy to see indeed Izuku-kun was sweating through his skin tight suit, which was a site to see.

"A-a-ah...I'm sorry..." The meek boy whispered, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. "It's just that our opponent is Kacchan and Iida-kun..."

Katsuki will be a big problem- his brute strength is like his quick reflects, on point. Iida does seem like he could be a problem as well, I have no idea what he might pull which would trigger a sense of needing to be careful.

"I hate his guts...but I admire his strength...his ambition...his confidence...his quirk...he's better than me in a hundred ways." My throat clenched painfully for the boy. I looked up for the first time in a while to meet his green eyes, which where already locked onto my form. "But, this whole time I feel like I don't wanna loose...if that makes sense."

Oh how I can tell him in what ways he's better than Katsuki- personality for an example. But that same feeling brought me speechless so I just stared at him. I know Izuku-kun struggles everyday with Katsuki's tourement but there is nothing I can really do for him...he just needs to grow.

A few moments later, it was time to make a move. Getting into serious mood, I turned to Izuku-kun. Since we are teammates might as well push aside our problems while we can. "Going in through the front door is too obvious so what other ways should we go in?"

In a heart beat, he answered me. "I agree so maybe..." his eyes filtered up at the building. "We should enter through somewhere high up." I trailed his line of eyesight and saw he was eyeing the second floor window.

"Alright, lets go." I held my good arm out. "I'll use my wind to pull you guys up, I'll go first." The two of them provided no excuse nor argument to my decision and watched silently as I used my wind to spike me up to the ledge of the window. The ledge was small and I barley had any foot room to wedge myself there to pull open the window. But I pulled it open effortlessly and without a sound too. I took a step inside the space and poked my head out.

I decided to pull up Izuku-kun first then Uraraka-san. The two of them nodded their thanks to me as Izuku-kun took lead down the hallways. Said boy walked silently down the padded area while taking extra care to our blind spots. While Izuku-kun was in front, Uraraka-san creeped behind him and I silently followed behind her. We all looked down the several confusing hallways to our sides and front.

"It would make more sense if Katsuki has run off on his own." I whispered to no one in particular. "His pride will get the best of him."

"I came to the same conclusion as well..." Izuku-kun stated. My brown eyes flickered over to my left where I thought I heard an echoing sound. As the two kept on going, I stopped mid step and stood up straighter.

"Hey," I called out to the two, my voice a little louder than I would have preferred. They both turned to me in slight surprise and confusion. "Do you hear that?"

As the three of us all came to a stand still, I had quickly figured out that I was correct. There was a small clacking sound echoing around the area but was barley auto able that I almost missed it. And, just like in slow motion, the big ball of anger had made his grand entrance.

Katsuki had suddenly flew in front of Izuku-kun and Uraraka-san with his hand pulled back, ready to set off his infamous explosions. As the two ducked out of the way, I ran forwards to aim at Katsuki with my quirk. As his wild red eyes only seemed to aim at one individual in particular, he didn't forget about the rest of us. After he set off one explosion towards those two, he quickly turned towards me.

I was still aiming a physical punch at his face and it made contact too- just didn't end as I hoped it would. After my knuckles had made contact with his cheek, he quickly gripped my arm with his right hand and flipped me over his shoulder.

I first skidded on my back across the floor for a good three seconds before I flipped myself over to skid on both feet. As I was recovering from the surprise attack, the other two where standing up at the same time. I looked over any injuries and took notice that Katsuki had succeeded in ripping half of Izuku-kun's mask.

I tighten my jaw as we all stood very, very still. "I thought so...with me as his opponent, Kacchan's priority would definitely to beat me up." I couldn't help but silently agree to what he had stated. The wild look in his eyes as he ambushed us was a definite sign of what Katsuki's main goal in this excercise is. To beat Izuku-kun to a bloody mess.

Uraraka-san and I exchanged a look as the two boys seemed to ingage in a serious moment. As their eyes met, I was only able to Izuku-kun's face and from all the way over here, I could tell he was scared shitless. However, there was still something shining in his eyes. Ambition. Hope. Reslove.

It was these three things that I collected from Izuku-kun's expression that I knew what exactly was about to go down. This was no longer about retreating that silly fake missle. No, this was something more personal and less professional then what was suppose to transpire.

"Hey!" I called out. My voice carried but sounded worried. "If you two plan on doing something other than we are suppose to do-"

"Shut it!" Katsuki roared, reveling his gallets of explosions. He tossed me a look over his shoulder. "Don't forget what he's been doing! Remember what I said to you!?"

"Shut it!" He hissed back, furrowing his eyebrows and clenching his fist. "I know it's bothering you as much as it's bothering me!"

"You can't be talking about what I think you're talking about..." Well he was quite angry when Izuku-kun had showed off his 'quirk' just as much as I was in shock.

I frowned at Katsuki's turned back. I saw a filtered look flicker over towards me by Izuku-kun and knew we where probably going to have a talk now. I grumbled bitterly under my breath. "You didn't have to make it so obvious..." I muttered.

From his tense shoulders, I could tell Katsuki was ready to make the next move. Izuku-kun squated into a fighting stance with his hands raised protectively over his face.

Suddenly, the blond boy had lurched cowards with his right arm pulled back. "I'll blow you away, but just short of getting this interrupted!" He screeched.

I watched in mild horror and surprise as Katsuki was making his close right throw and Izuku-kun had caught it. I couldn't help the gasp that escaped my lips as the green haired boy had brought down Katsuki, knocking his back onto the floor. A small gasp espaced Katsuki as well when his back made contact.

"Like an expert!" Uraraka-san yelled out proudly as I just stood there staring with my mouth wide open.

Never, ever has Izuku-kun been able to take down Katsuki like that. No matter what he had said or done, he never stood up to him like this. It left me speechless as I just stared at Katsuki who barley was able to register what had happened.

"You always lead with a big right swing!" Izuku-kun yelled out after Katsuki had slowly recovered and stood up. "I analyzed all the hero's that I thought where amazing...including you and Katsumi-chan!"

Ok I definitely need to know what the hell he analyzed about me later on. Considering I didn't even know he had done that.

"The same notes you blew up and threw away..." the image of last year had popped into my mind. I was being held up as I watch Katsuki set Izuku-kun's precious hero notes into flames. I felt bad and powerless, but now it's just a regretful memory. "I'm no longer the worthless guppy! Now I'm the Deku's vibe of never giving up!"

"...huh?" I muttered. Did I miss something important? When did Deku ever mean something like that?

"Now I'm getting pissed..." Katsuki growled under his breath just low enough for someone near him to hear. I barley even caught it before the boy fully stood up.

"Uraraka-!" Izuku-kun tried calling out but had no time to finish his sentence as Katsuki had jumped upon him. I set my jaw as I finally decided to act.

"Come on!" I called out to the girl. I passed right by the two boys as they engaged in compact. But as I passed them, Izuku-kun and I had made brief eye contact. It was quick and bitter sweet as I was the first to break contact.

I grabbed the girls hand as we both fled from the scene and fled down the hallway. "Will he be okay?" Uraraka-san voice was filled with worry. To be honest, I didn't have a clear cut answer for her question. I don't know the lengths of Izuku-kun's new quirk to reassure her about his situation. I couldn't giver her false hope either.

"I'm sure he will manage. Although I cannot day for certain if he will come out completely unscratched." I stated with a firm voice.

"You've been friends with them for a while, right?" Uraraka-san pressed. "Who do you think would come out victorious!"

I remained silent. "Honestly..." I muttered after a few awkward seconds. The sound of explosions going off was unending and sent me on an overdrive of worry for Izuku-kun's safety. "...I wish neither would win."

I shook my head. "Ignore me, we need to complete the objective." I clicked my tongue. "Where would they hide a missle...?"

As we ran down the padded hallways hand in hand, Uraraka-san tugged on my good arm. "Wouldn't it make sense to put it on the top floor!?"

"Hmm..." I thought about it for a second. It would make the most logical sense..." I muttered. I brought the two of us to a stop near an window. "I'll go see."

I shoved the window open and stepped out onto the ledge. I squatted for a moment before letting out a burst of wind from the soles in my feet to lift me all the way on the top of the building, leaving Uraraka-san to wait.

As I came to the first window I spotted, I grabbed onto the ledge and only let my head pop through to see through the window. The one I went to only showed me an empty hallway so I kept on moving to the right until I reached about three windows away from my original position. However, I didn't find anything on this floor. I muttered a couple inappropriate words under my breath.

I took a glance down to see how far I was from the ground and took a double take about the distance between me and ground level. It almost made me go light headed for a moment. "Get it together," I growled to myself, shaking my head at my own stupidity.

I let go of the ledge for a moment before letting myself slowly drift pass several different floors. Even though we thought it was the most logical to be on the top floor, I quickly figured out where the two boys really did hide it.

I pressed my finger to my left finger, turning on the ear piece. "Uraraka-san," I whispered just in case.

"Yes?" She whispered back.

"I found the hideout. They hid it on the fifth floor in the middle room. Head there and tread carefully. I'll give you the okay when it's time to make a move. Understand?"

"Got it! Over and out!" She cheekily stated as her line went dead. I bit down onto my lip as my feet remained dangling limply in the air. Iida-san walked around the space without much worry but kept his eye on surroundings. I let out a small sigh as the building shook uncontrollably from the beat down that was occurring somewhere within. Those boys completely lost sight of what we where suppose to be doing and it's a little frustrating. I ran a hand through my blond hair, which I quickly discovered had created a few knots in several different places.

As the building still continued to shake, after about a minute I saw Uraraka-san slowly creep into the room. I watched her silently for a moment as she made her way around the open space so Iida-san wouldn't see her. But after a while, I noticed that Iida-san had stopped walking and began to mutter under his breath. Seemingly it must of been funny as well because after he finished, Uraraka-san broke out into uncontrollable laughter.

"Dude!" I yelled into my ear piece. "What the hell was that!?"

"S-sorry!" She answered back. I clicked my tongue at her simple statement about the slip up.

"Izuku!" I yelled into the ear piece.

"What's up?" He whispered back. He must be on the run from Katsuki.

"Uraraka-san revealed her position to Iida-san. We are on the fifth floor in the middle room. How is it going on your end?"

I heard him huff slightly. "We don't have that much time left! And if time runs out, it's their win!" Ignore me, why don't you?

I heard him muttering until a familiar voice came in muffled from the background. "Izuku, did he catch up? What's going on?!" I tried demanding from the boy. However there was no response to my question.

I grit my teeth in pure frustration. "I hate it when asshats do this! We need to be a team!" I growled, looking into the window. Uraraka-san looked into the window for a moment before directing her attention to Iida-san who began to speak.

"Izuku, I'm going to come in, we need to be together and loose Katsuki in order to finish this off." There was no response to my statement but I lowered myself down to the floor I spotted them in.

As I began to approach the window that would lead me to the two boys, as I placed my hand on the lifting bar, I looked into the room to see Katsuki pulling a small metal trigger on his gallets. I had no time to react as his amazingly blazing hot and powerful explosion had completely knocked apart this half of the building.

And everything just turned white.
