Lucy

All of them stare at me, with mixtures of confusion and shock on their faces.

"Continue." Mika orders after a long silence.

"I... I overheard one of my students talking to Kaminari... it's Tara she's being blackmailed... Kaminari is the other traitor, I don't know about him, but I know she's being blackmailed." I put my hand in my hands, resting my elbows on the table.

"That's a very bold accusation, can you prove it?" Aizawa asked, crossing his arms.

"No... I know my word isn't much, but-"

"Of you can't prove your claim we have no reason to believe you. How do we know you aren't the traitor yourself?" Yagi demanded, glaring slightly with intense eyes.

"Hey! Hold on now, let's not jump to conclusions. I trust everyone at this table, and I've known Lucy long enough to be able to trust her word. We all have." Mika quickly jumped to my defense, before turning to me, "Can you give us details on what exactly happened?"

"Yeah," I nodded, "class had just ended at the time, and after I left the classroom I overheard talking in the janitors closet...

I paused, and leaned against the wall next to the door.

"Kaminari, I can't give you any details on Midoriya's quirk!" I recognized Tara's voice, in a snapping tone. A male's voice sighed.

"Shigaraki isn't going to be happy about that." The male, who I assumed was Kaminari, clicked his tongue a little.

"Well then he'll just have to deal with it!" Tara snapped.

"Look, I can't cover you forever. You gotta figure out Midoriya's weaknesses, he's the only one that they don't know how to counter. Unless you want your dear sister to get hurt, I suggest you start paying attention!" Kaminari retorted.

"You wouldn't." Tara growled in a threatening tone.

"I wouldn't have a choice. Oh, and I'd be careful about who you tell about this. I heard you talking to Kara about it."

No reply.

"Yeah. I'll call you later. The next meeting is tomorrow night by the way, you'll probably wanna be there."

"Whatever."

The door opened, and I quickly pretended to be walking by. A blonde kid with a black lightning streak in his hair ran into me coming out.

"Oh! Sorry miss!" He laughed nervously, before running off to his group of friends, in which I recognized Bakugo and Kirishima.

"O-oh, hey Mrs. Hawkins!" Tara smiled, looking nervous when she looked up at me. 

"Hey Tara, what were you doing in the janitors closet?" I asked.

"Oh, just uh... hanging out with a friend! Yeah..."

"A boy, alone."

She turned bright red, "No! It's not like that!"

"So who is this Shigaraki?" I asked.

She instantly paled."

"They're threatening to hurt or possibly kill Kara?" Joseph asked. I nodded.

"That's horrible..." Mika muttered.

"We should prioritize finding the students as soon as possible, especially Tara, Kara, and Kaminari." Chris said.

"Chris is right," Talon nodded, "All of us together should be able to find them. It's just your class that's missing right?" He looked at me.

"Plus Kaminari, yeah." I nodded.

"How do you suggest we find them?" Aizawa demanded.

"Everyone here except you and Yagi has an animal type quirk. We can find clues at the scene, and then spread out." Joseph said.

Joseph's quirk was similar to Mika's, where he's partially fox.

Talon's quirk gives him a large pale of owl wings.

Chris's quirk makes him partially wolf.

My quirk makes me partially cat.

"They teleported. That would cut off a scent trail." Yagi pointed out.

"The scent from the locations they went to would've come out of the portals before they closed, if we go now, we'll get a better scent. Lets go!" Mika exclaimed.

Everyone nodded, and stood up, leaving the room.

Tara

I growled quietly when I saw him out of the corner of my eye. A mop of golden blond hair.

"Is something something?" Midoriya asked, I quickly shook my head.

"I'll be right back, I need to use the bathroom," I lied. He nodded as I stood up and left.

I went into the forest, pausing a few feet in.

"Well? Did you wanna talk to me or are you just here to stare?" I demanded aloud.

"I told you she isn't stupid," Kaminari said, jumping down from a tree.

"I'm impressed," Dabi joined him, landing in front of Kaminari and staring at me with intense eyes.

"What do you want?" I demanded, crossing my arms, glaring at them both.

"Whoa Babe, I'm not here to pick a fight," Kaminari raised his hands in surrender.

"Unless you want this to go the same way as our first meeting, I suggest you lay off the flirting." I growled, reminding him of how I punched him when we first met.

"Right, whatever." He shrugged.

"That's enough you two," Dabi interrupted before I could retort, "Shigaraki has a job for you both."

"Spit it out already, before Midoriya gets suspicious." I demanded.

"You aren't one to be making demands Kel," he growled, "but if you're that eager, Shigaraki wants Midoriya and Kirishima dead."

I froze, so did Kami. Dabi grinned.

"You have three nights to do it, and may I remind you that your families are being watched 24/7 by members of the League. Think about what'll happen if you refuse." He said, "I'll check back in three days. I hope you make the right choices."

He hopped back into the tree, and was gone.

There was something burning inside of me, a negative emotion set ablaze. Anger was an understatement, scared wasn't right.

I was enraged, and terrified.

I bit my tongue to stop a gutteral scream from coming out, and turned on Kaminari. He looked shaken.

"What are you so upset about? Don't you work for them? Shouldn't you be happy you finally have something worthwhile to do?!" I snapped angrily. He flinched.

"Hey, don't get the wrong idea about me!" He exclaimed in protest, "I don't want to do this either-"

"BULLSHIT!" I yelled, "YOU WORK FOR THEM! HOW CAN I T-"

"YOU WORK FOR THEM TOO KEL!" He snapped, "AND YOU AREN'T THE ONLY BEING THREATENED! MY FAMILY IS BEING WATCHED, AND THEIR EXPECTING ME TO KILL MY BEST FRIEND! AT LEAST YOU GOT SOMEONE YOU DON'T KNOW VERY WELL!"

I was taken aback by his sudden outburst, but it just made me angrier.

"REALLY?! YOUR ENTIRE BLOOD FAMILY?! AT LEAST YOU STILL HAVE A FAMILY!" I yelled, "I ONLY HAVE KARA, AND NOW THEIR THREATENING TO KILL THE ONLY FAMILY I HAVE LEFT!"

I don't exactly know how it happened, I just know that in our rage, our heated argument turned into a full force fight. We ended up throwing fists at each other, until we were interrupted.

"STOP!" A familiar pair of voices yelled, as two people ran between us, and streaks of green stares flashing.

I got pulled away from Kaminari by Midoriya, and he was pulled away from me by Kirishima.

"LET GO OF ME!" I yelled, struggling.

"Tara, calm down! What's gotten into you?!" Midoriya exclaimed. I stopped, and just glared at Kaminari from across the clearing breathing heavily.

"You wouldn't understand." I growled, "Let go of me."

I was covered in bruises and had a fee burn marks from Kami. My head was pounding with an intense migraine from using my quirk.

"I can't do that, you'll just go after Kami." He said.

"I won't..." I breathed out quietly, the anger started to fade into sadness, "just... let me go..."

He did, and I fell to the ground. My vision got blurry. My ears filled with white noise.

Then I blacked out.

Denki

"Tara!" Midoriya panicked when she fell over. Kiri let go of me.

I stood there, and look down.

"Hey, is she okay?" Kirishima exclaimed, pulling me over to them.

"Of course not," I let out a brittle laugh, "neither of us are, why do you think we were fighting."

"Kami, what are you talking about-"

"You idiot!" I interrupted him, falling onto my knees, and holding my head, "We're traitors, both of us! We work for the League Of Villains!"

They were both speechless, and then something pushed around me to the ground, I looked over at Tara, and her eyes were open.

"You little shit," she hissed through her teeth, "you just doomed your family, and my sister by telling them that!" Her eyes watered.

Midoriya's eyes widened. He caught on fast.

"You... you're..."

"Hey!" We turned and saw... Kara?!

"K-Kara?!" Tara exclaimed.

Tara sat up, but got dizzy. Midoriya helped her.

Kara kept running towards us. My eyes locked on a figure behind her. Tara's shrill voice screamed suddenly.

"KARA LOOK OUT!"

The girl, with bright eyes, and long magenta braided hair, turned around to see what she was dodging.

And then there was fire and ice everywhere.
