The Healing Lodge went into lock down and groups were halted. The DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) Skills instructor came in and locked the doors. Someone knocked on the door. It was that Honda guy that talked with Aizawa.

"Todoroki, Midoriya. Come with me."

"OooOoOOooOHhhHh" The other adolescents chorused.

"Looks like your friend is afraid of a little talking!" One boy laughed, in particular. That boy. That one freaking imbecile was Shoya Ito and he drove Shoto INSANE. To save confusion, he was just called by his last name or Shoya. Two "Sho"s was too much and Shoto wasn't big on nicknames anyways. Ito had arrived the day before Todoroki and almost instantly, they butted heads.

All of the kids waited for Shoto and Izuku to be let out of the group room before madness ensued and they all pressed themselves to the windows, cheering for either the staff or the delinquent, but everyone was cheering nonetheless.

"What do you KNOW?" Kenji Honda asked.

"Kacchan ran?" Midoriya tried.

"Like, away from therapy or away from the Institute?" Shoto asked.

"So he didn't run a plan by you?" Kenji asked.

"We swear it. He didn't say anything." Midoriya lied.

"I told him adjusting is hard, but he never planned on running away." Todoroki also lied.

"OoOHHhHHHHhhhhHHHh!" Came the chorus of kids. Sounded like someone got GOT.

Honda pressed his lips together and crossed his arms. "Well, shit." He said.

"Boss, we have a sedation request."

-came over the 'talkie. "Hit it." Kenji sighed. He looked back from the speaker unit and unpressed the button. "Don't either of you think of running or we're splitting you... For now- just go. To your room. Dinner will be brought there."

The boys both, unknowingly and separate of each other, saluted Honda and turned on their heels, walking towards the nearest green scrub that would walk them to the lodge. They snickered at their in-syncness.

Bakugo was screaming in pain- shouting something about his shoulders and the League of Villains. They stood him up, handcuffed, and walked him to the lodge before plunking him on his bed and partly yanking down his pants to inject a serum into his butt cheek that calmed him down. His eyes were wild and they eventually un-cuffed him and left him to sleep.

"Yeah, man. That kid really thought he could get out?
It's that U.A. Kid from the news a week or two ago.
No, seriously. I swear it. He was kidnapped by the League!"

-Midoriya and Todoroki heard, as they walked past the guards.

Shoto stopped them. "Look." He said. "REMEMBER ME?" He asked. "Well that was me a WEEK ago and I'm FINE now. Sharing in groups, even. So give him the benefit of the doubt or DON'T, but NEVER talk about someone's trauma behind their back." Shoto said, glaring daggers into the guards.

"C'mon, Todoroki." Izuku muttered, after nodding.

They made their way into room 38 and shut the door, watching Katsuki sleep.

"I hate room time." Midoriya finally said to Shoto's back. Todoroki nodded and turned around after he finished writing a sentence.

"It gets easier once you have something to do." Shoto advised, wisely. "All I did was plot the first few days. Katsuki's still in that stage.

"I can hear you." Bakugo muttered, sleepily.

"How are you not ASLEEP?" Todoroki blinked.

"Willpower." Katsuki again muttered, stifling a yawn.

Izuku giggled and began to sing softly to the tune of a lullaby. His voice was hoarse.

"~Go to sleep, go to sleep,

you were jabbed in the butt cheek.

Go to sleep, go to sleep

or we'll get our cover blown~"

Shoto gave a disapproving look to Midoriya, who swallowed, nervously, and shrugged. Singing loudly like that could be the REAL reason cover was blown. They both turned when they heard Bakugo begin to lightly snore.

"Huh. Willpower." Shoto smirked. Izuku laughed. That was short-lived however.

"Knock, knock." Came Honda's voice in a sigh.

"You could actually knock." Todoroki said, VERY helpfully (not).

"Hands are full. Do you want dinner or not?"

"Fine." "No, Thanks."

Shoto quirked an eyebrow at Midoriya, as he opened the door. Kenji set down a tray on the desk after Todoroki moved his writing utensils and letter to his mother. It was bowls of ramen. Three of them.

Honda sighed."Your teacher, Mr. Aizawa, reported that you weren't eating back at U.A. So unfortunately for you, the correct answer is "yes, please." and do me a favor- make sure Mr. Katsuki eats, too." Kenji finished.

The boys agreed, quietly, and Mr. Honda left. They ate on the floor, sitting cross-legged, between Shoto and Bakugo's beds, with Katsuki's back to them.

The dreaded "room time" continued, however, as the two boys decided to accompany Bakugo for when he would inevitably awaken and they turned down watching a movie in the small gathering room in their lodge.

Katsuki sat up.

"Wha- ALREADY?!" Midoriya asked, surprised.

"I gotta piss." Bakugo said, rubbing out his shoulders. "What'd I miss?" He asked.

"Your therapy session and a movie." Todoroki said.

"Fine." Katsuki replied, sliding out of bed. "I can't believe I slept." He growled, in self-loathing.

"Your ramen's cold." Izuku said, awkwardly.

"Hm." Bakugo noted, sitting at the desk to eat.

"Your shoulders-" Todoroki began, "Are they okay?"

Katsuki lowered his chopsticks and frowned. "No. They're as fucked up as your eye."

"Kacchan!" Midoriya yelped in surprise. He looked at Shoto and there was silence. Finally, Todoroki snorted in laughter.

"Yeah, fuck you." He laughed. Izuku breathed a sigh of relief and Katsuki kept eating. Another day done. Phew.

They brushed their teeth in the attached bathroom and Todoroki showed Midoriya the med line for his Focalin medication that he would take in the morning.

"Remember- come to the line tomorrow, early. It's right here. I take meds morning and night... for now. See you back in the room, okay?" Shoto said.

Izuku nodded. "Mm. I'm going to go back to Kacchan now. Thanks for showing me."

And off he went. When Midoriya got back, Bakugo was asleep. Izuku crawled into the covers and let his body rest until he, too, drifted off to sleep. They didn't hear Todoroki return, but by morning, they would be reunited in the world of the awoken and then they could plan some more on

How to get out.
