Chapter 23

"What'd they find?" Izuku asked in excitement to have helped find a possible lead.

"Mics in class 3-B." Kaminari answered, putting his phone back into his pocket.

Izuku nodded in understanding, resting a hand under his chin while he got lost in his own thoughts. "So that would make the most sense if the traitor wasn't in 3-B, because why would they waste the time to put mics in there if they were already in there? It would make more sense to be in a different class instead of just waste resources like that. That rules out like twenty people, right?" He asked, looking up at his boyfriend who was just staring at him in silent amazement.

"Damn, I should have had you helping me earlier." Kaminari muttered more to himself.

Izuku nervously scratched the back of his neck. "Uh yeah, sure, but I hate to say this... the most logical class for the traitor to be hiding out in is ours."

Kaminari chocked back his shock at the accusation. He had been so sure their class was in the clear, which is why he was okay with tell them all about himself. If he had miss calculated... well he was in a lot of trouble.

"Why do you say that?" He asked. Maybe he could shut down the logic.

"Well, if you're gonna plant mics in a classroom that you aren't in to gather information, you'd pick ours, but they didn't. They picked 3-B, which means they have to have access to our class somehow." Izuku explained his reasoning and watched as Kaminari's face fell.

"Bunny, we are so fucked if you're right." He said lowly.

Izuku cringed at how defeated he sounded. "I know." He whispered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So you're saying that it's one of us?" Yaoyorozu asked in shock.

Kaminari and Izuku had done to the pros with their findings, and they all agreed it would be beneficial for the whole class to know, even though it would alert the traitor. The insight they could gain from the entire class being on edge could be worth it, not to mention the traitor could get so panicked they slip up.

They were all in the living room of the dorm building, Aizawa also being present. He wanted to watch how each and every student reacted to the news.

"You've got to be kidding, right?" Sero asked, not buying the fact one of his classmates, one of his friends, could be a traitor.

"Nope. With the new evidence we found, class 3-A is the most logical place to begin looking." Kaminari said

"Who do you think it is?" Todoroki asked suspiciously, knowing he had to be high on the suspect list by this point.

"Do you really want to know that answer?" Kaminari shot back. He still didn't think it was Todoroki, but it wouldn't hurt to scare him a little bit.

"Yes, we all want to know that answer." Mina said desperately. She trusted Kaminari and Izuku's judgement by this point, and she wanted to make sure her friends were in the clear. Well and herself, but she obviously knew if she was the traitor of not.

"Just tell them. They'll find out eventually." Izuku said quietly to Kaminari.

Heaving a sigh that expressed just how taxing it was for him to suspect his friends, Kaminari listened the suspects off. "Iida and Uraraka are low on the list, considering how well Izuku knows them and vouches for them." That alone raised protest.

"How can you even trust him?"

"That's completely unfair."

"Shut up, God. There's a lot you guys don't know about this investigation, and Izuku is the last person in this class that's going to be suspected, so yeah, I trust his judgement." Kaminari said, shutting down the more defensive classmates.

"Mina, Bakugou, Kirishima and Sero are also low on the list." Kaminari continued.

"Screw that! You can't just give them a free pass because they're your friends." Mineta said, knowing that he wasn't going to be getting one of those free passes because everyone hated him.

"It's not because they're my friends. I've spent the most time with them and I can vouch that they're all good." Kaminari said, starting to get annoyed with how often he was being interrupted.

"Awe, bor." Kirishima said, wiping a stray tear from his eyes.

"Yeah, because that's a villain right there." Mina said, patting Kirishima's back.

"Could be an act." Todoroki said with a casual shrug. "His was." He said, pointing at Kaminari.

"Trust me, Kirishima's genuine." Kaminari said.

"Also, why was I not on the low end of the list with Uraraka and Iida? I'm just as close to Izuku as them and I think he'd know if I was a villain." The duel hair boy pointed out.

"You would have, but then you proved that you were a shit human being and oh look at that, your place on the list sky rocketed!" Kaminari explained sarcastically.

"Language." Aizawa scolded.

Izuku grabbed Kaminari's hand in an attempt to keep him calm. It wasn't needed, but greatly appreciated.

"There aren't any solid suspects for this class and all of our guess are just that, guesses. Hagakure, Aoyama, and Oijirou are really the only ones we've come up with so far."

"What'd I do?!" Oijirou asked in complete bafflement.

Kaminari winced a little. He really didn't think it was Oijirou, but they had to be thorough. "Because you're just so... nice, I guess. And average. You don't exceed but you're not falling behind. You're suspiciously average all the time."

"Ouch."

"Sorry dude, I don't make the rules." Kaminari said.

"I get why I'm a suspect, but seriously? I can't control the fact you guys can't see me!" Hagakure said with a small whine.

"Yeah, we really only suspect you because of your quirk, it'd just be to easy." Kaminari told her truthfully.

"What'd about moi?" Aoyama asked, clearly offended.

"You just seem really fake dude, no offense." Kaminari said bluntly.

Izuku nudged his side. "Just because you say no offense doesn't mean it's not offensive." He scolded.

"What'd you want me to do? Lie? We suspect him because he seems fake, why sugarcoat it at this point?" Kaminari hissed back.

"I still think it's Kaminari." Todoroki said, causing everyone to look at him in confusion.

"Just because he stole the guy you like doesn't mean he's a villain Icyhot. Stop being so pathetic." Bakugou called from the other side of the room.

Todoroki rolled his eyes at the reasoning. "That's not why I think he's the traitor. I'm just saying, who would be better at hiding than the person who's supposed to be looking? Besides, how long has he been trying to find the mole? Three years and he still hasn't succeeded. It's suspicious is all I'm saying."

"It's not Denki, but nice try." Izuku said. He was really annoyed with Todoroki and didn't appreciate him budding in where he had no right to.

"How can you know that? He hid being the spy." Todoroki pointed out.

"And I found that out real quick, didn't I? Stop trying to act like you're smarter than you actually are." Izuku snapped back.

"Damn, feisty." Kaminari said with a smirk.

"Shut it." Izuku said, not in the mood.

"Yes sir." Kaminari said with a mock salute and a playful smile, one that made it impossible for Izuku to not smile back.

"Can you believe that Midoriya actually doubted that Kaminari was in love with him?" Mina stage whispered to Sero.

"Off topic! Seriously, we need to figure this out." Izuku said, snapping everyone back to reality.

"How are we gonna do that? None of the leads even have solid evidence." Uraraka pointed out.

"Any suggestions?" Kaminari asked, opening it up for the rest of the class.

"High intensity interrogations?" Sero suggested.

"No, if they're working for the League of Villains, they probably have training for that." Jirou reasoned.

"Surveillence of everyone in class?" Iida offered.

"Isn't that an invasion of privacy though? On grounds to get sued?" Yaoyorozu asked, only because she didn't want the school to have to deal with a parent pressing charges.

"You're right, but exceptions could be made to find a mole like this. It'd be for your own protection." Aizawa said. He was mainly just observing, wanting them to try and figure out something on their own, but he thought he should step in with that little piece of information.

"Okay, but how would that even work? Camera's can be tampered with, it wouldn't be the first time they did it." Kaminari said.

"Are you suggesting that we all stay together, twenty four seven? I'd rather be kidnapped again." Bakugou said, crossing his arms.

"I'm just saying, it might be the most effective way. It wouldn't have to be all of us all the time either. We'd need to have teachers or myself with all of the groups, but we could probably break down into groups of four or five." Kaminari explained.

"How so?"

"Everyone break into your main friend groups, it'll be easiest if we're all with people we can get along with." Kaminari instructed.

When Izuku tried to go to Iida, Uraraka, and Todoroki, he was pulled back by his boyfriend. "No way in hell. You're staying with me for this bunny."

Izuku lightly rolled his eyes, but went with it. He knew Kaminari was just being cautious because of their relationship, and if it were him, he'd probably do the same thing. Especially since Todoroki was in the other group.
