It was two days later when Shouto went to work to be greeted by Best Jeanist and Katsuki Bakugou. Ochako had decided to go in with him and he had called in All Might. He had even informed his father of the situation and now Endeavor would be there soon to join in on the fun. Shouto had to control himself, he wanted to knock Bakugou the fuck out.

"I think we need to have a meeting..."

Shouto and Izuku's agency was run by everyday people not by heroes. It was something different that a few people had tried and failed but thanks to Izuku's insight about the quirks of the heroes they had hired and what kind of villain or rescue missions they'd be good for, they were starting to boom slowly. It was sad when some of the hero agencies were slightly offended they could do so well.

"Sara, I feel like we need to talk....."

The woman rolled her eyes. She had long reddish brown hair and bright yellow eyes that were piercing and angry. Her daughter Alice, a big time sidekick Heatwave sat on the side. She had bright pink hair and eyes so dark they looked black. She was good to keep around because she had ended up earning the nickname 'Demon' because when she was mad, she looked creepier. Now was one of those times since one of their heroes was attacked and missing.

The mother daughter duo was quite cut throat.

"No shit," Alice said, "Where is our hero?"

Katsuki opened his mouth but Best Jeanist raised his hand.

"We have some news from Bakugou that is quite disturbing."

Ochako looked at Shouto but he seemed unfazed. She still could see murder in his eyes.

"We're here!"

Alice, Sara and Ochako turned to see All Might and Endeavor walking through the doors.

"What a surprise!" Sara said standing up.

She shook All Might's hand then Endeavor's much to his son's surprise.

"What did we miss?" the old number one hero asked.

"They have some bad news apparently. I wonder if it's because they are firing that dumbass over there."

They all knew who the dumbass was.

"Listen here bitch-

"Enough!" Alice said standing up.

The room was starting to become humid even with the air conditioning on.

"Alice, stop it. You're going make my hair frizz," Sara said with a small smile.

"Where's Deku?" Ochako asked.

"The thing is-

"I don't care about your words," she snapped at Best Jeanist, "I want to hear from his mouth what the hell he did!"

Bakugou was shocked. He almost felt ashamed at this point.

"I was on patrol when I came across the League of Villains."

Alice arched an eyebrow.

"You didn't call for back up?"

"No I didn't! I was doing just fine when I tried taking out zipper face-"

Shouto became angry, dropping the room's temperature twenty degrees. Ochako pressed her lips into a thin line. He was talking about Dabi and even Endeavor knew that but he didn't say anything.

"That guy cloned himself and saved the girl they called Toga. Then I tried going after the leader, Shigaraki when Deku appeared out of no where."

They all exchanged looks.

"What happened then?" Sara asked.

"I pulled the pin on my-

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Uravity yelled.

All Might and Endeavor jumped. None of them ever heard her get that loud.

"You are to subdue villains, not kill them! Deku saw you aiming to hurt him and he jumped in front! That's what you're going to say, isn't it?!"

Bakugou swallowed hard and nodded.

"We are not judge, jury or executioner. Don't you know that?" All Might asked looking displeased and upset.

"I know that!" he yelled, "I'm more worried about the fact Deku went with them willingly! A warp appeared and Shigaraki walked him through! That's why he's missing."

"I'm not surprised."

They all turned to Alice.

"Izuku would confide in me sometimes. He said he met some people who wanted to change their ways. Heroes have that right to do underground work like Eraserhead does. You must've fucked up his whole operation and they couldn't leave him there to you because you're a threat."

Sara sighed and shook her head.

"Did any of them attack you?" she asked.

"N-no-

"You attacked them though?"

"The girl is pregnant," Alice said.

The color drained from Best Jeanist and Katsuki's face.

"Izuku had mentioned a female was going to become a mother. Her and the boyfriend wanted to fix things to have their family. You attacked a pregnant villain who didn't attack you. I may be a sidekick but I know more about villain laws than you do. You had no right attacking."

"I'll attack Shigaraki again if I see him. He's dangerous and he has killed people!"

Ochako reached over and slapped Bakugou across the face. He stumbled back backward with a stupid look on his face. No one dared to speak.

"How stupid can you be?!" she bellowed.

Everyone froze in their place afraid to move.

"He's trying to make the world a better place and here you are making things worse! What if they decide it's not worth their trouble anymore?! What if they change their mind?! A poor innocent life is in the mix! What's wrong with you!?"

Katsuki stormed out of the agency.

Ochako broke down and started crying.

"We'll discuss this later," Best Jeanist said and raced after his hero.

Alice stared at them.

"Is he safe?" she asked.

"We have some idea of what's going on already. Inko came by. Deku had left detailed instructions. I suppose he left some with you too?" Sara asked looking at Shouto.

He nodded.

"Alright. You have the paperwork?"

"I do but...." she trailed off.

"Who are they missing?" Alice asked.

"Mr. Compress."

Sara drummed her fingers against the desk.

"You aren't mad?" All Might asked.

Sara smiled and shook her head.

"How can I be? He's turning dangerous villains into civilians! I'm surprised no one else has tried it before!"

Alice rolled her eyes.

"If we hear word of him anywhere, I'll call you Uraraka. He'll have to fill out the paperwork. It's too dangerous for Izuku to return home. If they get arrested, everything will fall through."

"Spinner is in jail though."

Sara nodded.

"We only need to free him, correct?" she asked.

She opened a drawer and grabbed her checkbook. She wrote a very large check and handed it to Ochako.

"What- what's this?"

"Agencies can sometime enlist villains to help and cut their prison time. Shouto, go with her. I want Spinner by morning. Do not actively seek Compress-

"I have someone else doing it," Shouto said, "Mostly because they would be suspicious of us."

"I'm getting my hero license tomorrow," Alice said, "I'll be able to back you up."

Ochako and Shouto looked at each other.

"You would make number seven then."

"Should we try looking for him too?" All Might asked.

"Toshinori, that's up to you but I don't want you going alone. I have no doubt that other villains would attack you."

Sara looked at Endeavor.

"You are to lock down Izuku's apartment, no one is to go in there."

"I can ask Hawks since he's friends with my son."

Shouto gave him a weird look.

"So eight heroes then?" Ochako asked, "I didn't think so many people would be on board."

"Go now, we can talk later."

Sara got up and shooed the young heroes out of her agency.

"Alice, I want updates whenever you can."

"Let's go Toshi!" Alice said bouncing ahead of him.

"Good luck Endeavor."

"Yea."

Shouto and Ochako ended up being in the police station for six hours. Ochako ended up falling asleep on his shoulder and honestly, he was tired too. His nerves were shot and he hadn't expected so many people to be behind them. He wondered why any of them were exactly.... Izuku, All Might and his father's intentions were clear but he had no idea why Ochako, Midnight, his boss and his sidekick coworkers were ok with it.

Was it really for the safety of everyone?

It would make more sense that way. I wonder if Sara thinks they can bring more business. Converting villains to civilians... Imagine how many heroes she would need.... I would assume they would have probation of some kind....

"Here you go."

Spinner walked out with a plain white shirt and black sweat pants. He looked less than thrilled about the clothes but he smiled at Shouto and Ochako.

"What do I have to do?"

"Ochako wake up."

"Unnn."

"Uravity!"

She jumped up, "What?!"

She looked up to see Spinner standing there.

"Hey!"

She got up and gave him a big hug. He blushed because of the sudden, unexpected affection.

"I don't think Dabi would like that," Shouto said with a cocky smile on his face.

"Ugh! I told you nothing happened!" she cried turning red.

"Really? Why does he keeps asking for pictures of you then?"

"Who knew half of the league had a hero fetish," Spinner said.

Shouto snorted and shook his head.

"Let's go."

They climbed into Shouto's car and drove to Ochako's apartment. They walked up into her apartment. Spinner looked around and he wasn't surprised by how slightly girly it was. She placed her keys on the hook by the door and kicked off her shoes.

Wow, we are really doing this.

"You will stay here tonight then I'll pick you up by seven thirty. Sara will have duties for you to do until about five then Ochako can get you. I still work at night while Izuku is on.... paid leave."

Ochako walked into the kitchen and stopped.

"Ummmm...."

There was flowers in a vase with balloons and a box of chocolates on her table. She turned to look at Shouto.

"Where did this come from?"

"Oh, he told me he dropped by as a surprise."

She didn't say anything as Shouto went to her front door then left.

"Wow, he likes you and he never likes anyone. Dabi is kind of a prude."

Ochako turned pink.

"I have a small guest bedroom you can stay in. You can do whatever you want pretty much. I don't know if you're tired though."

Spinner nodded, " I am tired. I suppose I can sleep. Call me Iguchi by the way."

"Alright, Iguchi. The bedroom is on the left as you walk into the hallway. Then it's the bathroom."

"Sounds good. Goodnight."

"Goodnight to you too."

Ochako waited for Spinner to go into the bedroom. She sat down at the table looking over the sweet stuff Dabi had left her. She hadn't even thought of him that way. She did have a way with people.... most of the villains would tell her things she wouldn't want to ever know but she kept their secrets to try and help them out.

I didn't see him that way. I just thought he need someone. Don't get me wrong he's kinda of hot and he looks like a badass but....

She trailed off. He was quite open without even meaning too. She told him how she felt about Iida. Ochako had trusted him with her own feelings when she never told Tsuyu, Mina or Momo.

Iguchi would know him better than me... If he says he likes me then he must actually like me.

She pulled out her phone and opened the box of chocolates. She took a bite and sent Shouto a picture with the caption: Send to Dabi. Tell him thank you and hope to see him soon!

She closed the box and went to bed. Ochako left her door wide open just in case Spinner needed anything. She fell asleep with an odd smile on her face.
