"Jeez, Shota, what did they do to you? Multiple stab woods, fracturing of the face, they really messed you up. Fuck, it just makes me cringe to see how much bandages you're in," Hizashi said as he entered the room. 

"She could have done worse..." he gritted, clutching his fists tightly as he looked down at his form, which was bedridden and covered with white strips of paper. He was reminded how much he didn't stand a chance against her, and how he was already beaten in less than a minute, showing weakness not only in front of his enemies but also his students, who had placed their hopes on him. He really had fucked it up, he couldn't do anything against her.  

"I hardly hurted her," he admitted, bearing his teeth as he groaned out in frustration. 

"Hey, hey, hey, don't beat yourself over it so much. There's no point, all you could do now is prepare if she comes back again," his words tried to comfort the ravenette. 

Knock.

"I'll go get that for you. Considering... you know," the voice hero replied, gesturing to his bandaged form, before getting up to open the door. 

"Detective Tsukauchi! Good to see you again!" 

"Present Mic! Eraserhead! I'm glad you're in stable conditions," the detective replied. 

"Are you here to question Eraserhead about the USJ incident?" Hizashi questioned curiously. "Should I take my leave?"

"Yes, actually, I would appreciate that. I will try to keep it short so you two can go back to your conversation. Thank you," he thanked, nodding gratefully as the blonde exited the room.

"I hope you don't mind, but Thirteen isn't awake yet and the students don't give us the most information about the villains." 

The Erasure hero shook his head. "What do you want me to start with?"

"The ringleader." 

"... I'm sure you already have heard his appearance. Hands all over him, blue hair, etc. His quirk however... I have a vague idea in which it decays or disintegrates whatever he touches."

"What about any of the other villains?"

"None of them were really memorable. One of them was how they get in and out. The 'portal' man. He does seem to have a human-like form from the looks of it. However, there was one villain that I especially have come into close contact with."

"I assume it is the one who did this to you in the first place?"

Aizawa nodded. "I'm not sure if she has targeted anybody else but me, her behavior is strange. When I first attacked the group of villains, who just seem as grade-one crooks rather than villains, she didn't seem to attack me. Actually, when all the others came from the portal, I didn't see her at all. She seems passive unless she was ordered to do something, as I assume. Otherwise, I don't believe she would have attacked me suddenly. A black and yellow suit with a matching mask, you really couldn't tell anything from her other than her gender. She had expert combat skills, as well as masterful experiences with blades. Even if she was 'just toying with me' I had a hard time to capture her. Her quirk is also dangerous. Speaking of, how is Bakugo?" 

"Katsuki Bakugou? He is fine, he was just unconscious, no injuries or any physical harm, along with no mental damage. It's as if he just slept. It seems her quirk is to make people fall into an unconscious form, but doesn't necessarily hurt the victim." 

Aizawa stared down at his lap, contemplating and wondering how to politely strike up an argument. He knew her quirk wasn't just to make people sleep. It intrigued him why he could hear the heartbeats of the victims that were affected, but then he realized that was because she could alter the heartbeats, leading him to think about a topic a few weeks prior that a friend of his had mentioned. 

"I don't think she makes people sleep. It's something she could do, but that isn't the only thing she can do. I believe that through physical contact, she could alter the pulse of people, like she could change the pace of our heartbeats into different states where we could either end up unconscious... or..."

"Dead," the detective finished, his eyes narrowing at the grave situation. "She could easily kill us."

"And that is the matter. She didn't. She didn't kill me or Bakugou, instead, she made us unconscious. If that's what she had been planning, she didn't definitely didn't need to go so far as to puncture my stomach and back. We can't be sure if she exactly is going on her intentions or is just being ordered. She has not once spoken and her movements are almost like... they were ingrained in her mind, like she was forced to do this multiple times. Now that I've thought of it, she hasn't done anything unless the ringleader says so, which would explain her behavior. But her leader is fine with killing students and heroes, but it seems that's something she opposes even if it was an order." 

"A villain gifted with possibly the best skills one could have... it's terrifying at what she could do. Fortunately, she doesn't seem to have that intent of what we fear she could turn into, but if she really is like the puppet they are treating her to be, they might as well make her like that. She's almost like Nomu, but a more human version," Tsukauchi said. 

Aizawa agreed for the most part, nodding. She was a mystery, her behavior didn't add up, pieces of the puzzle not fitting together accurately. It was like she had multiple personalities. She held back purposefully, like a child stalling for more time to play, she enjoyed hurting him. But at the same time, despite her associates who had a fondness for killing or at least didn't mind, her pleasure in hurting and killing was a line she didn't want to cross. Now his thoughts were lingering whether or not she actually enjoyed toying with him. Was it an order from the ringleader? Or was she just acting on her own intentions? 

Why was he so concerned over this? He should be focusing on how to overcome her if he had managed to meet her again? Why would he waste his time over her? She was a villain, whether or not she was being ordered around. Still clouds of doubt continued to linger in the creeks of his mind, but he chose to ignore them. 

"Is that all? How are the students? Thirteen and All Might?" Aizawa asked. 

"The students are alright, most of them only have some scratches and minor bruises from the crooks. One of them seemed to have self-destroyed his own body when he tried to use his quirk."

"Midoriya..." he groaned, remembering the athletic test. That child was going to have a pain in his ass, something told him.

"Thirteen is in stable condition, but will not be able to attend to heroics any time soon. All Might is fine as well, thanks to Recovery Girl."

The Erasure Hero nodded. 

"I'll let you recover now. Good day, Eraserhead."
