I ran down the sidewalk, heading in a certain direction. It had been an hour since I left the hospital undetected, and figured I had some time before they realized I had escaped. All Might and everyone else would be beyond furious, but I didn't care. Her freedom is worth more than anything to me. All I had to do was get there and infiltrate the warehouse.
The streets were empty around this time, being lit up only by the street lights on either side. I didn't expect to see anyone I knew on my way, but you could never be too cautious. Being spotted would mean serious punishment after all.
I wasn't heading to the pier yet, though. I was meeting someone. Someone who would be very helpful in this rescue. I had to admit, I was nervous and scared, but pushed those thoughts and feels aside, focusing on who was now in front of me, standing under a streetlight and looking very eager and impatient.
"So you finally show, you damn nerd," Kacchan stated, glaring me down.
"Sorry, it's a long walk from the hospital," I responded.

*HOURS BEFORE...*
I needed a plan. I knew I couldn't fight those two villains alone again, especially with that one man and his quirk. If he ended up poisoning me again, I'd surely be dead. And he would definitely kill me. But if I could find a way to distract them long enough for me to get Uraraka, it shouldn't matter. Just a quick in-and-out mission. But how would I distract them?
Then it hit me. I grabbed my phone from the side table.
[Izuku Midoriya 8:38pm]: I need your help.
[Katsuki Bakugo 8:40pm]: I told you to never message me, nerd.
[Izuku Midoriya 8:40pm]: Before you block me, hear me out. What if I told you that you could fight some really strong villains?
[Katsuki Bakugo 8:41pm]: Whatever, I'm listening.
[Izuku Midoriya 8:43pm]: I'm going after Uraraka. I know where the villains took her but the villains are too strong. If you'd help, there'd be a fighting chance. They're tough as all hell, just the villains you'd like defeating.
[Katsuki Bakugo 8:43pm]: Okay, and? What's in it for me, exactly?
[Izuku Midoriya 8:44pm]: I'll fight you. One on One, no strings attached.
[Katsuki Bakugo 8:44pm]: Do you actually think we'd have a chance, nerd?
[Izuku Midoriya 8:44pm]: Yes.
[Katsuki Bakugo 8:45pm]: Then I'm in, but I'm bringing shitty hair too. We've been looking to crush some bastards!

"So what's the plan, nerd? It better be good," Kacchan said to me.
"One can use poison, paralysis and three other seriously affecting moves. One touch and you're down. The other has nails that can grow to the size of daggers," I explained.
"Okay, and? Spit it out!" Kacchan demanded.
"You can deal with the woman with the dagger nails. Kirishima can harden like a rock. So I'm hoping he can deal with the guy. I don't know how that would work. Where is Kirishima anyways?"
"Waiting at my house, why does it even matter? I just want to beat these bastards to the ground,"Kacchan told me. "I'm not doing this for that round-faced loser, either. I'm doing this because I was promised a fight between you."
"Don't you ever call her a loser again, got it? I don't care why you're here. If you don't want to help, then don't waste my time," I responded.
He glared at me. Not in a menacing way, but I could tell he didn't expect my tone to change. I didn't either
"Let's get moving. We're wasting time just standing here. If we're gonna save her, we need to stay focused," Kacchan said to me, before starting to walk.
It surprised me. He didn't retaliate or start an argument back. He... genuinely responded. Even under that tough act, I knew he wanted to save her too. Not because he cared about her, either. But because she was a person in distress and he wants to be a hero and save everyone.
We walked for a few minutes in silence. Probably for the best, I knew he didn't like me at all. But even after he bullied me most of my life, I still looked up to him. He was a douche and didn't deserve to be in the hero course, sure. But he had the heart and drive to be a hero, and it was respectable. We finally got to his house, where Kirishima waited.
"Jesus, babe. You could've waited for me to get here before you took off," Kirishima said to Kacchan.
"SHITTY HAIR!" Kacchan yelled at him. Kirishima then noticed me.
"Oh, uh... I mean uh- hey Bakugo welcome back!" He corrected, blushing hard.
"It's okay, I knew you two were dating. No big surprise," I stated.
"Shut the hell up, nerd! You tell anyone and you're dead, got it?!" He yelled.
It wasn't any secret to me that Kacchan and Kirishima were together. It's just ridiculous nobody else knew. I'll probably get hit later for knowing, anyways.
"That's beside the point. Explain the plan and we'll head out, got it?" Kirishima stated.
"I'll tell you on the way. We can't lose time," I explained.
"Then lead the damn way why don't ya?" Kacchan demanded.
We started on our way to the pier, which I knew the location of. Along the way, I filled Kirishima in on the plan, which would consist of him and Kacchan sneaking in through a back entrance, if there was one, while I snuck into the front. That way, they would be able to jump the villains while I looked for Uraraka. They agreed to this plan, with Kirishima telling me he could most likely withstand their quirks a little using his hardening.
Kacchan kept reminding me he wanted the credit and that I owed him a fight after all this. It was only fair since I was asking for his help. Although I did doubt this plan. We didn't know how many villains were there, and we definitely couldn't take on multiple. But I knew I had to do this tonight. It took about forty-five minutes, but we arrived and hid in an alleyway nearby.
"You sure this is the place?" Kirishima asked.
"Yeah, It's the same from this picture. Now, are you sure you want to help me with this?" I asked them.
"We wouldn't fucking be here if we didn't, would we? Now let's move!" He whisper-yelled.
They split off from me, looking for a back exit while I used the night to sneak closer. he warehouse was huge, which made me more nervous about the whole thing since it could mean a lot of villains. I planned on making a loud entrance so all attention would be on me, so I charged up 5% of one cor all and sent a punch into the door, throwing them open.
The lights were off, and I couldn't really see. I swallowed any doubt I was feeling and stepped into the darkness. I was on guard though, just in case. Even though my body wasn't fully recovered, I knew I could fight if I needed. But all I heard were my own footsteps echo in the darkness. It seemed empty and abandoned, which meant... no...
All of a sudden the lights came on and a door swung open. A couple seconds later, A man stepped into the scene.
"Ah, it seems we have a visitor. None other than the one and only Izuku Midoriya! Tell me, what brings you here this night?"
__________
Bakugo and Kirishima jumped a gate that led to a big backyard connected to the warehouse. From there, it was hard to see but they did see a door on the building.
"I hope he wasn't wrong about this shit. That damn nerd might be getting ahead of himself," Bakugo stated.
"Calm it, babe. You're getting too tense. We need to ease up so we can take these guys down," Kirishima said, grabbing Bakugo's chin and pecking his lips.
"...Fine," He stated.
All of a sudden, the heard quick footsteps around them, before the lights inside and out turned on and they got in fighting position. The area was now illuminated, and there stood two people, a man and a woman.
"Hello there. We've been expecting you," The woman stated, her nails growing. "My name is 'The Wolf', and I'll be taking your life."
"And I go by 'The Doktor'. We won't let pesky kids ruin our Master's plans. We have cameras and sensors around, so we knew you were coming. Any last words?" The man asked.
"I should be asking you guys that. Time to die!" Bakugo yelled, letting small explosions off in his hands.
"Let's send these villains back to whatever holes they crawled out of," Kirishima stated, smirking.
"It's your funeral," The woman stated, and began rushing them.
Their fight had begun.

*EARLIER, AT THE HOSPITAL*
Iida walked down the hospital's halls, heading to visit his friend one last time before being released tomorrow. He hobbled close to his room, when a nurse ran out of it and to another nurse in the hall.
"Hasuda, what seems to be the matter?" The nurse asked the other.
"It's Midoriya, our patient. He's not in his room!" The lady exclaimed.
"What?!" The other nurse stated, running in.
Iida knew exactly what was going on as he overheard the conversation. Izuku had gone after the villains. The nurse ran out of the hospital room, nervous and scared.
"Go to the front desk and call his mom! I'll call the police station and fill them in!" One lady exclaimed, very nervous.
Iida stood there in the hall, looking down. He only had one thought in his mind at that moment;
Midoriya, what the hell are you doing?
__________
"Where the hell is Uraraka?!" I yelled at the man, who was on a platform higher up. He had grey hair and a grey beard and was masculine.
"Oh, you mean my newest recruit? She goes by 'Defy' now. She's quite enjoying that name," The man stated.
"Lies! I'm not leaving here without her! I know she's here, so hand her over!" I yelled, getting in a fight stance.
"She is very much here. Defy, dear, come on out. You have someone who wants to see you," the man stated and snapped his fingers.
I heard footsteps from behind him. I didn't know what to expect or what trap this might've been, but I had to be ready. My eyes widened, though, when I saw her. She was in a version of her hero costume, but it was black and white and didn't have a mask on it. Se looked as she usually did. But... she didn't have a scared or shocked or terrified expression on. She was smiling. She saw me though and got overjoyed at my presence.
"Defy, welcome our guest please," The man said, snapping his finger again.
"Izuku, hey! It's been a while, hasn't it?"
