Atem lay on his bed, arms wrapped about his middle and stared numbly at the wall. It had been three days since Katsuki bit into his mating gland and even now he could feel the flutters of the Alpha's frantic emotions. Nothing but snippets of feelings for now, but they would grow in time and the very idea of it was terrifying.

He still couldn't get his head around it. Mated and pregnant at sixteen! They had groomed him for it for years, but the reality was still hard to accept.

Hearing Katsuki banging around the tiny kitchenette, the Omega sighed. He probably should get up. He needed to eat for the sake of the life he was carrying and because Katsuki's Alpha instincts were going to make the ultimate mother hen out of the male.

Kicking away the blankets, the Omega climbed from bed. His long hair swayed about his slender frame. Honestly, Atem wished the beta bastards would at least give him hair ties, but apparently he looked extremely attractive with it all down.

As if his hair was relevant once they had drugged him and induced his heat, causing it to induce an Alpha's rut.

Looking up from the curry he was stirring, Katsuki flushed. "Oh! You're up! I'm just making dinner...though it could be fucking breakfast for all I know. No way to tell the time of day in this place."

"You get used to it," Atem responded quietly taking a seat at the small table. "You don't have to cook for me you know."

"I want to," Katsuki shrugged. "Besides, it keeps me busy."

Atem could understand that. The boredom was something he battled with for years and he was fully aware of Katsuki's Alpha instincts. They were no doubt driving him crazy, telling him to get his Omega to a safe place, because they weren't safe.

Plating their food, Katsuki placed one in front of Atem and took a seat. The silence was something he was beginning to get used to, in regard the Omega, but considering the reason for it, he really wished Atem would just shout…scream…anything! Accidental or not, Katsuki had completely trapped him.

"Must you stare at me?" Atem questioned, taking a bite of his meal.

"I'm not trying to damn it!" Katsuki groused. "I just wish…you'd kick my ass…throw something…knock me over the head with a pan!"

Atem blinked, red on black eyes widening in surprise. "You want me to attack you?"

"I mated you against your will!" Katsuki exploded, guilt burning in his gut. "Why aren't you angry?!"

Ah. So that was the heart of it. Setting down his utensils Atem sat back with a sigh. "There's a reason why it's not recommended to allow Alphas and Omegas together for Heats and ruts at our age. Instincts run wild and accidental mating's have happened."

"I know," Katsuki said softly. "My parents ended up having me very young for that reason. Wrong place, wrong time, but they learned to love each other and never regretted it. But this…this is different."

"Hardly," Atem argued, taking another bite of his food. "Katsuki…you were locked in here with me, with my heat induced and we both know those drugs make it stronger than it should be. We're sixteen and ended up caving to what our bodies wanted. If you'll have me…. I'll happily be your mate."

Shocked, Katsuki couldn't help but smile. This whole thing was a damn mess, but he would never regret meeting Atem. "Then…I accept."

They finished their meal in companionable silence, Atem feeling far more relaxed now that the pair knew where they stood. But there calm little bubble was about to burst. Reaching for the dishes to clean, Atem spun around when Bakugo barked a curse and collapsed. The Omega barely had enough time to acknowledge the tranquilizer dart in the Alpha's shoulder, before their little haven was invaded. Snarling, arms wrapping protectively about his middle, Atem scurried back into the corner.

The bastard doctor laughed at his reaction. "Oh! That is all but confirmation right there…but I still want to do an exam. Grab him."

Wild with terror, Atem fought fiercely against the Betas ordered to take him, but it was no use. Even against his slightly enhanced Omega strength, they were at an advantage from sheer size. Leaving Bakugo where he was, they dragged him from the room. Light momentarily blinded him, the hall lit up white and disorientated, Atem was pulled into an adjoining room before he could protest.

Familiar medical equipment left his stomach turning. Heart racing, Atem tried getting free, but it was no use and before he knew it, he was strapped down, bottoms removed and legs pride apart.

"Bastard!" The Omega seethed.

"Oh, don't be so stroppy," the Doctor reprimanded cheerfully. "It is honestly fascinating how early pregnancy can be detected in Omega's. Just by a simple cervical swab and voilà! We'll know if you are expecting!"

Legs strapped; Atem had no way to shield himself. Logically he knew this wouldn't hurt him or the pup, but his Omega instincts were haywire and crying threat. The swab took barely a second, and he fought them the entire time. Humming happily to himself, the Doctor wandered over to a cupboard and produced a specialised chemical to test the swab and when it came up pregnant, he crowed in delight.

"We did it! We finally did it!"

Atem felt tears well. He had known he was pregnant. Knew the minute he didn't bleed, but to have this monster confirm it and be so excited…it was killing him. Eight years he had lasted, but if they truly took his pup away, it would be what finally ended him.

Katsuki had been missing almost two weeks and Izuku was tearing his hair out. How could there be nothing? It was as if he just vanished! The operation to locate him had expanded to including class 1-B as well as other Pro heroes and yet, not so much as a sniff had been caught.

"Huh…A-K23 and Lust…where have I heard of those before?" Kirishima voiced out loud, looking over reports from the Police. "A creep thief the cop's hauled in three days ago was apparently screaming about some doctor buying both from a well known black market dealer. Figured he was trying to save his own skin. I know we asked for any activity, but they're just giving us anything…"

Eyes gritty with exhaustion, Izuku racked his brain and when it clicked, he burst up out of his seat, startling a yelp from Kirishima. "A-K23 is a sedative used on out of control Alphas. It's only used in the confines of a hospital, but there have been illegal usage…such as that incident in Tokyo where Alphas were being captured to fight! And Lust…it's…. it's a highly illegal drug used to induce an Omega's heat!"

"Name!" An equally tired Toshinori croaked out, gaze locked on Kirishima. "Please tell me he gave a name!"

"Eh…" Papers rustled. "Calls himself the Creator but the thief recognised him and gave his real name…Doctor Haruto Suzuki."

Endeavour was up and barking orders in an instant. He wanted everything there was to be had on the man and boy did they find a lot. Haruto Suzuki was one of the top Alpha and Omega doctors in the field, until his licence was revoked ten years ago for attempting to forcefully breed an Alpha and Omega in the basement of his home. Charges didn't stick unfortunately, and he fell off the grid.

"We got property!" Burnin shouted from where she worked tirelessly. "An overhauled Warehouse, called 'Creation Projects' …. under the ownership of one Suki Haru at a glance, but after some digging I found our Doctor and the business is bullshit. They apparently manufacture customised clothing, but the records are fake."

"We got him!" Endeavour growled out. "I want teams immobilized pronto! We've no idea what we're walking in on, but we don't have the time to wait. From this we have to go in knowing Bakugo isn't the only captive."

It was amazing just how quickly a rescue mission could be put together. Paramedics were called in, amongst other first responders and anyone fit to fight was put on the frontlines. Much to Endeavour's annoyance, Toshinori insisted on being present. Considering the stubborn bastard would probably show up anyway, Endeavour allowed the Omega to join, so long as he stayed back with the Paramedics.

Geared and ready to go, they headed out, fully intent on bringing Bakugo home.

Katsuki woke with a groan, head thumping painfully and feeling horribly groggy. Hearing a startled gasping, Atem's scent filling his nose, he moaned with relief when a cooling cloth was pressed against his temple.

"Wha' 'appened…" He slurred; tongue leaden in his mouth. Forcing his eyes open, he tried to see if his Omega was hurt. "You o-okay?"

"They sedated you," Atem explained. "I'm fine…they just wanted to confirm pregnancy."

Alertness quickly overtaking the fog, Katsuki sat up and grumbled irritably when he caught scents on his mate that he didn't recognise and when he noticed bruising on his wrists, rage filled him, his Alpha canines dropping and a full on snarl ripping from him.

"I'm okay," Atem promised soothingly. "So is the pup…Scent me…"

Giving into his instinct, Katsuki shifted forward and thoroughly scented the Omega, lapping at spots where the bastards had put their hands on him, until only his mark remained. Lower down, he nuzzled into his belly, a calming purr rumbling through his body and absolutely preened when it instantly relaxed the Omega.

"How long was out?" Katsuki asked once the tension had drained, cheek resting on Atem's thigh.

"A few hours…They gave you something really strong."

Of course, they did, fuckers. Block his Quirk, but they clearly weren't idiots. Alphas who felt threatened, or thought their pregnant mate was in danger could be lethal and no Beta could take on an aggressive Alpha.

Katsuki yelped in surprise when all of a sudden a burst of black flame erupted in front of them. It shifted and throbbed, until a large black panther with ruby red eyes and made entirely of black fire sat, head tilted curiously.

"Anubis!" Atem blurted, leaping up and throwing his arms about the animal. "But…how?!"

"What…Where did he come from?" Katsuki asked in shock.

"Anubis is part of my Quirk!" Atem explained. "I…I can create sentient creatures that usually vanish when I release my hold on them, but Anubis never did. He appeared as a cub when my Quirk first manifested and only went away when they put the Quirk cancelling cuffs on me…If he's here…"

"Our Quirks are active!" Katsuki spread his hands and when his explosions came on command, a shit eating grin bloomed on his face. "Fuck, yeah!"

Something had either shutdown or blocked the cuffs, and wasting no time, Katsuki used his Quirk to blast both their cuffs to pieces. The door was the next target. Sturdy it may have been, Katsuki's explosions were stronger. The metal blasted across the hall, warped and melting. Grabbing Atem's hand, he tugged the Omega out and to the left. He could smell familiar aromas, heart skipping with relief. They had found them!

"This way!"

Anubis lunged ahead, the fiery panther sniffing and growling, but the halls were deserted. Finding a set of stairs, the teenagers hurried up and burst out into absolute Chaos.

Pros were everywhere pinning down the men who held them captive. The doctor raged in Endeavour's grip and Burnin stood over him, flaming hair spread wide as she demanded to know where in the facility Katsuki was.

"Kacchan!"

Katsuki stood, protectively blocking his Omega and he had never been so damn happy to see the nerd. "Deku!"

"No!" Haruto howled, the doctor struggling. "We were finally successful! We finally completed our task! You can't take them!"

"That's where your wrong," Endeavour snarled. "Shoto, Deku…Get Bakugo and the Omega out to the Paramedics. Burnin, you grab any hands you need and search the rest of the base."

"On it!"

Trembling a little, Atem kept close to Katsuki. Never letting him go. When the one named Deku reached for him, he flinched back, and Katsuki's ripping snarl was enough to deter another attempt.

"Easy, Bakugo," Shoto reprimanded lightly. "We're only trying to help."

Anubis kept press close to Atem's left side, no one paying him any heed. Too used to Dark Shadow, Shoto and Deku presumed he was part of the Omega's Quirk.

Stepping outside for the first time in years, Atem blinked, and looked about in awe. Wind whipped through his hair and with it, a scent filled his nose, bringing him to a sharp stop.

"Atem?" Katsuki questioned softly. "Are you okay?"

"The Paramedics should look him over," Shoto suggested. "He's gone a bit pale."

"Mama…" Atem croaked tearfully.

Gazes following the Omega's line of sight, they all fell on Toshinori. The Omega stood with his back to them, but as if someone called out his name, the retired Pro spun around, bright blue eyes widening in astonishment.

"A-Atem?!"

"Mama!" With a sob and a laugh, Atem lunged forward and ran right into Toshinori's arms, burrowing in and drinking in the scent that had been his only salvation for eight years.

"My baby!" Toshinori croaked, gathering him against him, sobs tearing from him, racking his whole body. "Oh God…my beautiful boy!"
