«3rd Person's POV»

Todoroki, Bakugo, Yaoyorozu and Jirou were standing by the bridge where Todoroki and Bakugo had started making their memories.

Bakugo was staring at Todoroki, trying to read his expressions. While Todoroki was staring at the familiar ducks Bakugo had once tried to converse with, his mind stuck somewhere else.

It just so had happened that the second best hero hadn't really been very active on media as well as in his personal life for the past week. They had visited his office where his workers and assistances couldn't give any information about his current location.Rei informed, to Todoroki's surprise, that Endeavor had visited her on the day he decided to not sign the contract. He had apologized sincerely and hadn't ask for forgiveness before he left, which brought a question to Todoroki. Why had he suddenly apologized?

"So," Jirou, who apparently had been hanging out with Yaoyorozu and tagged along with the tree of them, broke the silence. "I don't get it clearly. Todoroki's father is missing?"

Yaoyorozu stared at Todoroki as well, but she wasn't trying to read his expressions like Bakugo was. She was thinking of something the security guard had whispered to another worker.

'I have my money on the scar man, he definitely has some business with sir Endeavor.'

She was sure the other three hadn't caught this in the hurry, but this just inscreased the worry. Who was the scar man anyway?

She decided she needed to tell Todoroki if they wanted to solve anything, so she opened her mouth.

"You know, I've heard one of the guard say there's a 'scar man' emvolved in this. Shoto, I don't want to jump into crazy assumptions, but do you think this is a kidnap case?" Yaoyorozu asked. "What if he's just hiding somewhere, not showing up?"

"Yeah, Sho. We can't just assume something stupid." Bakugo said, exhaling. Todoroki remained silent.

"It's not a stupid assumption. He's been kidnapped. Taken by the league of villains." Jirou said, her voice suddenly grim.

They all looked up at the purple haired female, eyes widened. And then, three sentences bursted out at the same time.

"What?"

"How the Fuck do you know that?"

"What do you mean, Kyoka?"

Jirou blinked, her mouth gaping, but then she muttered again. "I just..." She started. "Know. It's not that hard to guess, scar man definitely means Dabi, one of the members from the league of villains? I'm pretty sure that's it."

"But what do those fuckers have to do with Sho's dad huh?" Bakugo snapped, Yaoyorozu nodded in consent. Jirou just shrugged.

Todoroki continued to stare at nowhere in particular, his eyes practically empty. Dabi. That name rang a bell, a specifically loud one. He remembered the up close version of bright turquoise eyes which were, much to his disturbance and dismay, quite similar to his own left eye. It had bugged him for more than a few sleepless nights. But eventually he had dropped the topic from his mind, allowing himself to sleep.

But now that he was reminded of the eyes again, he couldn't get once suspicion out of his mind. He knew Dabi.

Thinking about Jirou's words again, she did have a point. If the guards were talking about a suspicious scar man, there was a 50% chance it was Dabi. But why would Dabi kidnap his father all on a sudden? Was it about Endeavor having any past grudges with the villains?

"Listen," Todoroki's voice was shaky. "We don't know if they took dad. However," he eyed Jirou. "We don't know if they didn't take him either, so I think it'll be best if we pay them a little visit."

Yaoyorozu tried to protest, "but-"

But Jirou interrupted. "I agree with Todoroki. There might be a chance our assumption is correct, so we should at least check."

Bakugo narrowed his eyes at Jirou. "Smart of you to come up with the idea of those villains."

Jirou glanced at Bakugo's eyes and just shrugged. "So, we should our journey right?"

"Yeah, I guess. I mean- if they really have him then it's gonna be a long ride." Yaoyorozu commented, worried.

Todoroki, who was till then finding his shoelaces more interesting than the conversation, looked up and said, "but before that, we need a pro-hero. Anyone, we just need someone professional. Its the league of villains we're going against, it's not something to take lightly."

Yaoyorozu nodded in consent. Jirou however, protested.

"But- but then we have to tell them everything. And Todoroki, how are you so sure that they are gonna take us seriously? No, I don't think we should involve elders-"

"Well, most of us so think we should involve pro-heroes. And I'm sure Aizawa will take us, at least me and Shoto, pretty damn seriously. So you shut the bullshit." Bakugo snapped.

Jirou seemed taken aback, so were the other two friends. Specially Todoroki, who had heard how Bakugo had comforted Jirou in the washroom from Bakugo himself. But right then, he didn't take it much on count.

"Brilliant idea Katsuki," Todoroki muttered, trying to sound as praising as possible. If there was one pro-hero who knew about Todoroki and his dad's real problem directly from Todoroki, it was Aizawa. And Todoroki trusted the black haired man to help them one way or another. And if he didn't, there was always the option of All Might."Let's get back to U.A and tell Aizawa real quick."

So they took a cab back to U.A.

ω

"...."

Aizawa stared at his students in awe.

Just a few minutes ago, four students had bursted into the staff room, legit grabbed him, took him out to a more deserted area and started talking non-stop. And between the blabberings and jumbled words, this was the story he could pick up:

Apparently, Endeavour was kidnapped by the league of villains.

And that was basically all they were trying to say for ten minutes straight.

If it was any other week, Aizawa probably would have scolded them for uttering such ridiculous suspension. 'The second best hero in Japan? Kidnapped so easily by some league of villains? Stop spewing inconvenient matters and get some brain.'

But right then, Aizawa felt a chill go down his spine. Because they, him, All Might and other pro heroes, had been discussing about those villains lately. How those villains might have gotten her in grasp, and how dangerous that was.

Aizawa stared blankly out of the window, while Bakugo's brain started clicking all of it.

The sudden breakout of villains in U.A dormitory, to be specific their dormitory, Todoroki's father's sudden appearance at his mother's hospital cabin and apologies, and his disappearance. It all seemed to make a pattern somewhere. But there were still unsolved pieces. Like a certain person amongst them right then acting weirdly.

Like the black smoke Bakugo now realized was following them.

Bakugo's eyes widened, how could he have been so dumb to not realize it earlier, all of this could've been over with before it started getting worse.

"Professor- wait." Bakugo inhaled, everyone staring at Bakugo. "There was somethin following us- yes! There was defiinitely something following us, me and Shoto and sometimes Momo, wherever we went for the past week. I noticed some black smoke often, it was in a distance, but it was definitely something. And whenever I noticed itz the next second it would vanish-"

"Hello- hello Toshi, listen. I'm setting out for the villain's hideout immediately. No- no listen, it's her. It's definitely her. It's Amaya. She's there. Enji's there, we need to save him. Get some defensive force and follow us as quickly as you can, we'll need backup. Toshi- I need to do this." Aizawa's voice cut off Bakugo. He cut the call with All Might and glanced at his students.

"Listen, kids, Bakugo, the smoke you saw, it's a person. It's- she's another villain from abroad. The league decided to take her help to kidnap your father, Todoroki." He said patiently, though everyone could detect the panic in his voice.

"wait, okay we got it. but why would the villains kidnap Shoto's father?" Yaomomo raised an eyebrow.

"It can be for any reason. Old grudges, business, misunderstandings, many things. But we don't have time to figure that out, come on. We need to head out. All of you go back in your dormrooms and get dressed in your hero suits, take as many medical supplies as possible. The black smoke girl which Bakugo saw, she uses knives."

"How do you know that?" Yaomomo questioned.

"I- I know. She's famous in abroad. Now go!" Aizawa growled.

All four of them ran to the dormitory's direction. Most of them worried.

Jirou blinked, holding her head once or twice before going running again.

So, a fight????
