13. The Raid

(Shouto POV.)

"Can't you drive any faster?" I question the driver. "At this rate we won't get there in time. They'll start the raid without us."

Momo reaches over and sets her hand in mine. Her simple touch relaxes me a bit and I know I need to not stress her out with any of my behavior... I've already put her through too much..

"It's okay Shouto, we'll be there soon. Even if we miss the beginning we'll still be able to watch the rest," she tells me. "It's not like we're going in to help out. We're just watching..."

I sigh and hold her hand tightly. "I know. I just.. I need to see it all... It's my brother they're after, and after that nightmare I had yesterday I just need to see him taken down..."

"I understand perfectly Shouto, but you need to be patient. There's ice and snow on the roads. The driver can only go so fast."

"I know.. I know..." I grumble slightly. I lean over next to her and set my arm around her and press my other hand on her belly. "How are you doing this morning? I know today was supposed to be our day to rest..."

She places her hand beside mine and looks down at her bump. "I'm fine now. This morning was a little stressful, but, I'm glad to be out of the house," she tells me while keeping her eyes on her stomach.

"Being cooped up at home because of the snow must be tough..."

"You're basically in the same boat as me now Shouto," she says as she turns to look at me. "Today is the most I'm allowing you to walk around for awhile. Tomorrow you're staying in bed to rest."

"Fine... But you have to stay with me," I reply as I pull her closer and kiss her cheek. "I don't want you pushing yourself too much either."

"I know. I'm not. But I do need to rest more.. Carrying twins is way more stressful and tiring than I thought it would be," she says as she begins to rub her stomach.

"I bet. You have gotten pretty big recently," I say as I run my hand over the growing babies. "It's still a little hard to tell you're pregnant while you're wearing your jacket, but that probably won't last too much longer..."

"I know.. I'm not looking forward to the press," she says with a heavy sigh.

"I know what you mean. They've always been somewhat of a pain. No matter what happens though we'll get through it together," I reassure her.

"Mr. and Mrs. Todoroki," the driver says to us, "we're about four blocks away from the agency now. The traffic is moving relatively slow. If you wish to get there faster I suggest walking the rest of the way."

"How 'bout it Momo?" I ask as I look to her.

"I could stretch my legs," she replies with a smile.

I nod in response. "We'll be walking. Thank you, and give my thanks to the Yaoyorozu's," I say to the Yaoyorozu's personal driver who's name I never caught...

I open the door and step out into the snow. I put on a red ball cap and pull my hood up to hide my hair and my scar. I really really can't handle being swarmed by fans right now, not with Momo out with me. I hold my hand out to Momo and assist her out of the black car. She shuts the door and thanks the driver. I keep my hold on her hand as we begin to walk to Headquarters.

I pull my hat forward a little more as I try to hide my scar from sight better, and I pull my scarf up a bit. Momo pulls the collar of her jacket up and I can feel her shiver slightly. "Here let me help." I use my quirk to radiate heat from my hand and arm. "Better?"

She wraps her other arm around my arm and snuggles in close to me as we continue to walk. "Yes. Thank you," she happily says. I grin and set my other hand in my pocket.

We walk the four blocks to the agency, making small talk. It was rather slow going but it was definitely faster than waiting around in traffic. I miss spending time with Momo like this.. No talk about Hero work, just enjoying one another.

(Momo POV.)

We enter the agency building and head to the elevators. Shouto removes his hood and takes his hat off, then presses the button and the doors open up. We step inside and he presses the button labeled 'B3' which is Hatsume's lab.

"Does she know that you're pregnant yet?" Shouto asks me as we descend.

"Um.. I don't think so. Why?"

Shouto sighs slightly as he rubs the back of his neck. "Last time I was down here her workshop wasn't exactly safe... Just stay by me incase anything blows up..."

I nod and now remember why her work space got moved below ground. "It's amazing how many of her inventions still do that even though she's one of the top Hero Supporters in Japan."

"Yeah... But she is the best and I'm glad our agency has her." The elevator stops and the doors open. Shouto takes my hand and steps out first. "Stay close."

I walk just behind him as we enter her enormous workshop. There's countless support items hanging all over the walls, the floor is flooded with pieces of incomplete projects as well as large nearly complete and completed suits, costumes and devices. There's a small pathway through the mess that leads us further into her space.

"Damn, it wasn't this bad last time I was here," Shouto mumbles.

"It's been months since you've been here," I remind him.

"Yeah, and there's a reason for it.. I try to take care of my gear so I don't have to visit as often..."

I roll my eyes and silently laugh as we make our way through the mess. We finally reach a large clean area and before us are nearly a dozen monitors, a long desk filled with numerous buttons, disls and switches just below the monitors, and a single microphone.

Hatsume is standing at the long keyboard typing some sort of code into it. Shouto clears his throat to alert her of our presence. "Hatsume," he says, and she glances back at us.

"Oh hey. Deku said you guys would be coming," she replies as she focuses back on what she's doing. "I'll be finished with this in a second. Make yourselves at home."

"Not sure if that's possible," Shouto mumbles.

I elbow him and shake my head. "Shouto don't be rude," I quietly scold him.

"What? Not like she heard me," he replies while rubbing his arm. "I'll go find a chair for you. You should sit down for a bit."

He walks off across the room in search of a chair. Meanwhile I walk over to Hatsume and look up at the screen. "So then, what exactly are you doing Hatsume?" I ask.

"Syncing up all the cameras and making sure we won't get any glitches. I developed them myself and tested them all thoroughly, so I'm not worried," she answers. "So how have you been doing? I heard you haven't been coming into work for awhile," she says while keeping her focus on her coding.

"I've been fine. Me and Shouto have a lot going on right now though," I reply.

"Momo, here." I turn and see Shouto found a chair for me. "Why don't you take your coat off. It's fairly warm in here," he suggests.

"Thank you," I say as I walk to him and begin to remove my jacket.

He assists me with taking it off just as Hatsume finishes what she's doing. "Whoa. Yeah you guys have been busy," she says as she looks to my stomach. "Damn Creati, how many babies you got in there?"

I set my hand on my belly as I sit down. "Two actually," I reply.

"Wow. Got some strong swimmers eh Todoroki?" she says to him with a wink.

I look up at Shouto and his cheeks are dusted pink. I can't help but laugh a little. He's never handled it well when women mess with him about sex stuff. He ignores her comment and removes his own jacket and places both of ours on a mildly clean workbench behind him.

"How far along are you? You look pretty big already. How has the media not caught wind of this yet?" Hatsume questions further about the pregnancy.

"Um... Nearly 12, 13 weeks I think," I respond. "And I've managed to keep it hidden with my jacket when I go out, but it's starting to get to the point where it won't hide anything any longer..."

"No kidding," she laughs. "What'll ya do once the media catches wind? That could happen any day now."

"Not sure really," Shouto replies while rubbing his neck. "Probably just smile and act nice like always. It'll probably die down after awhile... At least until they're born."

Hatsume shrugs at his answer. "Won't know until it happens."

"I guess," Shouto says. He's answering in short responses now. He must be getting bored waiting around for the raid...

"How soon until the raid team will be all set up?" I ask her, trying to perk up my husband.

Hatsume looks over at a clock on the wall. "Should be anytime now. And we've got a total of three Hero teams in place."

"Three?"

"Yup. Deku set up a team and they'll be heading in through the front, Ground Zero's team is coming in from the rear, and Endeavor and his sidekicks have outside covered. And then we've got the police on standby around the block to rush in once it's finished," she explains.

"They're going all out on this..." Shouto mumbles.

I can't help but know what he's thinking. He still wants to be out there with them. I know it... I reach over and take his hand, reminding him why he's here with me. He looks down at me, his upset expression leaving his face and he steps closer to me.

"They can handle this without us, without you Shouto," I tell him.

"I know... I just can't help how I feel right now..."

"I know my love, but we're here to support and watch them," I say as I grip his hand a little tighter.

"Plus you guys can talk with them," Hatsume states. "I've got the frequency for all communicators set up and synced through my baby here," she points to the large computer, "and we'll be able to be an additional set- sets of eyes."

I look up at Shouto who nods with the smallest trace of a smile. "Good. I was hoping we wouldn't just be sitting and watching."

Suddenly the cameras all begin to turn on one by one.

"Is it on?" I hear Bakugou ask.

"Yeah, I just turned it on. You don't think I can work a camera?" Kaminari replies.

"Just make sure they're all operational," Midoriya says to them over the communicator. It appears they're all in different locations, most likely already set up and standing by in their teams. "Hatsume, is everything showing on the screen?" Midoriya asks.

Hatsume goes to the mic and presses a button to reply. "Yup. Seeing everyone crystal clear. Can we get a quick mic check from everyone?"

"Here," Kaminari says while waving into Bakugou's camera.

"Shut the fuck up Pikachu," Bakugou barks while shoving him back.

"Zero leave Jamming Way alone," Jirou says over the communicator.

"We must remain focused on our mission. Zero, be professional," Tokoyami states bluntly.

"Shut the fuck up you raven headed fuck. I am focused. I'm ready to go right now!"

"Calm down Katsuki. We'll be heading in once Hatsume and Deku give the okay."

"Everyone just check in," Uraraka says.

"Yeah come on guys we need to get this thing going," Sero replies.

"Mine should be working," Honenuki states.

"Hell yeah! Let's get this operation going!" Tetsutestu exclaims.

"We'll head in shortly Steel," Hagakure states.

Hatsume scans all the body cams; from what I can tell they're all operational. It seems like all of them except Enji has cameras attached to their costumes. I can see that Midoriya, Uraraka, Jirou, Tokoyami, Sero, and Hagakure are standing by near the front of the building. Coming around the back and getting into position is Bakugou's team which consists of Kirishima, Tetsutetsu, Honenuki, and Kaminari.

"This looks pretty well rounded," I state as I watch the screens. "Jirou and Sero will do well with imobalizing them all, and Honenuki will be great at catching those who flee to the back..."

"Alright Deku," Hatsume says into the mic, "everything seems ship shape! You're free to undergo with the operation!"

I stand up and Shouto and I walk to the screens to get a better look. "Here we go..." Shouto says with anticipation.

(Midoriya POV.)

"Roger that." I turn to face my team I set up. "Hatsume says we're good to go," I inform them all.

"Great. So what's the plan?" Jirou asks.

"Well we're executing this in daylight," I start to say, "normally we'd do this at night when we have a better way to sneak up on them, but, we have Hagakure." They all look over to her. Her costume is a thin body suit now; Hatsume created the fabric and it's able turn completely invisible.

"So Hagakure will go in first and scope out the area for us?" Tokoyami asks.

I nod. "Yeah. Hatsume gave me a small monitor before we came here. With the short distance we should be able to get pretty clear video and audio." I turn to face Hagakure, looking to her where I assume her eyes are at.. "You sneak in and give us a count on how many are inside. Right now our main target is Dabi, but any other League members need taken down too."

"Right. Leave it to me," she replies.

"Great. We'll sync the monitor up to your camera. Once we get eyes on Dabi and get a number on how many are in there we'll execute the plan," I say.

(Shouto POV.)

Midoriya finishes going over the plan. Hagakure begins to make her way to the rundown building. Her costume goes fully invisible as she silently reaches a broken window on the side of the building in the alley way.

I can't help but feel tense as I watch. I've never had to deal with being stealthy the way she operates. She silently gets inside. The camera that she has is one Hatsume said she made to go invisible when her costume does, and it's attached on a headset.

"I'm in," she whispers. "Stand by."

"Roger that. Take your time Hagakure," Midoriya replies.

I cross my arms over my chest as I watch the monitor. The interior of the building is dark and dirty, not the kind of place I could picture anyone wanting to hide out in. She makes her way out of the room and down a rugged hallway. It's faint, but the closer she gets to the end of the hall where light is coming from, we can hear voices.

"That sounds like Touya..." I mutter to myself.

(Hagakure POV.)

Stealth comes naturally to me after all my time as a Hero in Training and as a Pro. Sneaking inside a broken building was simple, but now, the hard part is remaining quiet no matter what happens since there's multiple villains around me.

Just ahead I can hear Dabi speaking. It sounds like he's talking to a group, but I don't have eyes on them yet... I silenced my headset so I don't get any interference from the others. I'm grateful for the camera though - it's a great way for the others to remain updated on what I've got to do.

I reach the end of the hall. There's a blue light coming from the back of the room and now that I can see them all, I see that the light is coming from a large pit where Dabi's fire is flaring around. I walk in closer, trying to identify the others he's talking to. I recognize a few of them - they're all criminals who have records... Every single one of them have committed horrendous crimes and have yet to be caught...

(Midoriya POV.)

"Those people he's talking to... They all have strong quirks," I say as my eyes are glued to the screen. "You recognize them too right?" I ask, turning it so the others can see.

"Oh yeah," Sero says. "That guy there got away from Kirishima a few months back," he says as he points to a man with purple and white hair. "He goes by Baku and his quirk is a gas that makes you hallucinate your worst nightmares."

"Oh I remember hearing about him..." Jirou says. "I've seen these three in the news," she says pointing to two men and a woman. "The woman is known as Ivy. Her quirk allows her to reform the molecules in the air and turn them into weapons. And this guy with the white hair is Kaiser. His quirk changes depending on his emotions, so we gotta watch out for him. He'll most likely be angry which will be super strength..."

"What about the last one you know?" Tokoyami asks.

"The guy with the mohawk is Hades. His quirk is Shadow Fire. He can create and manipulate black flames from shadows around him or at a distance."

"I know the other guys too," I say. "The pink haired guy covered in scars is Grimm. His quirk is Razor Blades. From key points in his body he can form razor sharp blades from his bones and use them as weapons. The other woman with the dark hair is Devi, and her quirk is Fangs. Her teeth enlong and get extremely sharp. It's said that she's been able to bite and rip the arm off of people's bodies... So we'd better watch out for her. And then lastly, this guy with the black hair and sideburns is Draco. His quirk is Dragon Scales. Over all parts of his body he can turn his skin into fire resistant and nearly unbreakable scales. He takes the appearance of a humanoid drake."

"Oh man, this is gonna be tough," Ochaco says.

I give a confident grin as I look to my team. We all know this fight is going to be tough, but none of them looks scared in the slightest. "We can do this. We'll take all these guys down," I say, clenching my fist with confidence in us.

"We'll get this done," Jirou says with a small grin. "Dabi fucked with Momo and Todoroki. That bastard is going down today."

Ochaco nods to her. Todoroki told us that Jirou and Kaminari also know of their situation. Just knowing how close to danger they came in contact with during their wedding is terrifying to think about... I couldn't imagine how scared they both were...

"It looks like that's all of them on this floor," Tokoyami says, looking over my shoulder at the screen.

Dark Shadow suddenly pops out and looks at the screen too. "Awe man! I've been itching to take down some villains!" he says.

"Enough," Tokoyami states, pushing him back. "Dabi is in there and our main target. You and I will handle some of the others. We can't go up against his fire."

"Oh yeah. Kacchan doesn't have eyes on the inside," I remember. "I should inform them about the villain's quirks."

(Bakugou POV.)

"Yeah. Got it." I turn and look to my team. "You guys get all that?" They all nod. "Good. Once we bust in through the wall they'll all probably attack. Me and Deku already discussed a plan to fight Stitches together since he's our main target. Eijirou, Steel, I want you guys to handle Hades and Draco if you can."

"Got it."

"Leave them to us."

"Pikachu, you try and take down this Baku guy before he can gas us all with that nightmare shit."

He rolls his eyes at me but nods. "I'll handle that guy."

"Good. And Mudman, see if you can use that quirk of yours to capture as many guy as you can," I say.

"Sure thing," he says with a nod. "I'll hang back and lay low and get a many as I can."

"Good. This is our base plan. Deku's team will most likely also be planning which guys they'll take on. They'll probably have Tape Arms rounding guys up too. Expect Ears, Uraraka, and Bird to join you all with taking these losers down," I tell them all. "Just try and get them before we cause too much damage or before they can get the chance to escape. We still don't know where their warping guys are at. For all we know they could be in one of the upper levels.. After we take some of these bastards down, make a judgment call and head upstairs."

"Got it," they all say.

"Good," I grin. "We just wait for Invisible Girl now."

(Momo POV.)

It seems like they're all getting into position now. Midoriya and his team are getting to the front of the building now. Hagakure has checked the entire downstairs and those seven plus Touya are all that's there. On the other monitors Bakugou and his squad are already ready to go in, hiding in the shadows of the back of the building.

"It'll be any time now," Shouto states as his eyes are glued to the screens.

I'm standing beside him and I glance over and look at him. He looks tense, almost on edge. This waiting must be killing him...

"Invisible Girl just has to check the top floors now," Hatsume says. "Dabi and those seven others are all that's down there, that's still plenty for Deku and them to handle. Good thing we've got Endeavor and his men as back up outside."

"Yeah..." Shouto mumbles.

I take a step closer to him and wrap my arms around his bicep that's crossed over his chest. "Midoriya and Bakugou put a lot of effort into this mission. Don't worry about a thing my love."

I feel him relax a bit, but he remains standing the way he is. "I know. I trust they'll get the job done, I just feel like I should be there still..." he grumbles followed with a sigh.

"Oh! Hang on!" Hatsume suddenly exclaims.

We look to the monitor. I don't see anything and I don't think Shouto does either. "What d'you see?" he asks, his eyes darting around and trying to see anything suspicious.

Hatsume is focused on Hagakure's camera. She picks up the microphone and turns it on to all frequencies. "I just saw Toga and Twice in the distance at where Hatsume is at," she informs everyone.

"What? Hagakure did you see them?" Midoriya asks.

We all watch the camera shake side to side as she informs us 'no'. "Good thing you're here to help," I say to Hatsume.

"How much longer until they can go in?" Shouto asks.

Hatsume looks to the screen, holding her chin as she scans the room Hagakure is in. "Well, I don't have the experience like you guys have since I'm not a Hero, but I'd say she's cleared most of the building and those eight on the first floor seem like the biggest threat besides Twice's ability to make copies of Toga... If there's any others there could be a problem and Endeavor should send in his sidekicks," she says.

"She has cleared most of the building..." Shouto mumbles. He steps away from me and goes to the microphone. "Midoriya. When are you planning on going in?" he asks.

"We were planning on heading in once we saw all of the layout," he replies.

Shouto sighs. If he was there with him in person he would have a better chance to have his influence in what was going on... Shouto normally trusts Midoriya's judgment, they're best friends after all.. But right now Shouto is just too on edge and impatient...

"Yeah, alright..." Shouto replies, sounding a bit disappointed. "Just make sure you don't let him get away like I did."

"I won't. We'll get him for you guys."

(Midoriya POV.)

I can't imagine how hard this must be for Todoroki. I know he desperately wants to be here, hell, he almost came today regardless of the consequences... I run my hand through my hair and go over different scenarios in my head. I stare at the screen as I think things over. "Hagakure is on the third floor now, and it seems like this whole thing is some sort of recruitment... Twice and Toga are upstairs and Hagakure can keep them occupied while the rest of us take on the others. If we toss a few of them out to the street Endeavor and them can take them down easily. Although it isn't ideal to toss a villain where there would be higher civilian casualties, but we did set up a perimeter so it should be fine.. If we did that we could send Kirishima or Tetsutetsu up to help out. With their brute force they'd have a good chance at taking down any and all clones, plus Toga fights with knives so they would probably be the best option..."

"Deku!"

I look up and see everyone staring at me and I realize I was mumbling out loud again. "Sorry..." I say as I rub my head. "It's a habit I can't break."

"We're all used to it by now," Tokoyami says. "And anyway, the plan you were muttering seems like our best shot. We all want to get these guys and today is our best shot."

I nod and turn on my earpiece to speak with Kacchan and his team. "Kacchan, we're moving in and have a plan of attack."

He sighs before speaking up. "Lay it on me."

(Shouto POV.)

"We're going to be heading in now. Hagakure, try and keep Twice and Toga occupied. We'll have Kirishima and Tetsutetsu head up once we take down a few of the villains. Try to keep him from making any clones. Multiple Toga's will be a huge problem," Midoriya says over all of the frequencies.

"Got it. Let em know we're here," she whispers in response.

It's about time. I focus on all of the screens as they all start to move into position. "Here we go..." I mutter with anticipation.

(Midoriya POV.)

"Alright. Let's do this!"

I ball my hand into a fist and summon One For All into it. Using one hundred percent comes naturally to me now, I don't even have to think about it anymore like in high school. I pull back and throw my fist forward, smashing it into the wall. An enormous hole busts open, sending bricks and wood debris flying into the room. On the other end of the building I hear a loud explosion go off and know that Kacchan and his team have entered as well.

"Fuck!" I hear Dabi exclaim, but the dust from our entrances hasn't settled yet. All I can see is the glow of the blue firelight. "Alright, you want in!? Take down the Heroes and prove yourselves!"

I aim my hand forward and flick my finger out creating wind pressure and clearing the dust. "Fucking watch it Deku!" I hear Kacchan yell.

Sorry, but we need to see to fight Kacchan. The layout is completely clear now and I see Dabi ignite his hand in fire and blast it our way. Jirou steps in front of us all and counters him with powerful sound waves from her gloves. The sound cuts through his flames and they disappear. The other seven then begin to charge both sides of the room.

"Cellophane! Try and restrain as many as you can!" I shout.

Sero shoots his tape up and swings up onto the ceiling. He sticks himself in place and blasts tape from both arms, both in thick strips. His tape shoots across the room and sticks to all but one that was coming our way, Draco, the Dragon Scale user.

His body begins to change - green scales replace his skin and claws grow from his finger nails, his teeth grow sharp and his eyes become yellow and cat-like. He slashes his claws at Sero's tape, cutting it and getting some stuck to his arm. His scales become more jagged and the tape shreds off of him. He turns to his comrades and begins to swipe his claws at the tape around them.

"Don't let him get the others free!" I shout to everyone.

I launch myself forward with extreme speed thanks to my quirk. I slam my forearm against his body and send him flying across the room. He soars through the air and lands on the floor, rolling to a stop and then sinking into it. I turn to face the others who are still trapped and Sero shoots more tape at them, restraining them further. This is going a lot smoother than I expected..

(Bakugou POV.)

Deku gives us the go ahead to move in. I hear him bust through the wall, beating me to the fucking punch. "Like hell he's gonna get the first hit on these losers!" I shout as I press my palm to the bricks. I let off a powerful explosion, blowing a huge hole in the back wall.

Eijirou and Steel charge in first, both of them hardened thanks to their quirks. Stitch Face yells at the others to all attack us if they want to join the shitty League, then he goes and attacks Deku. It's hard to see due to the debris in the air thanks to me and that nerd, but I have a clear shot at three of those fucking losers and I will take it!

I aim my hand at them but that fucking Deku goes and blows my plan away. He fucking flicked his goddamn fingers at Blue Flames and caused all the shitty dust and shit to fly my way and past all of us and out the fucking hole in the wall. "Fucking watch it Deku!!!" I shout as I shoot him a glare.

I shake the incident away and focus on the fucking loser who are coming at us. The pink haired guy along with the purple haired nightmare dude come at us first. I glance back and see Pikachu step up, aiming his finger at them. I use my blasters and launch myself into the air, getting out of his way.

I adjust my trajectory and blow over them as he shoots a strong bolt at them both. I laugh at their stupidity. Being a stupid villain seems pointless to me. I blast over all the others, letting my team take care of those extras - I'm going for that Todoroki bastard!

He's staying back, in the middle of all the other shitty fucking villains and using them to fight for him. I've read his file and seen him fight enough to know his quirk has a recoiling affect on his body, meaning his fire burns himself if used too hot or too continuous.

I fly over and aim my hand at him and let off strong explosion right by his fucking face. He was faster than I thought. He flared his flames up from around his body and canceled out my explosion. "Dammit!" I yell in frustration. I blast my way around his fire that he's shooting at me and charge him. "DIE YOU BASTARD!" I pull the pin on my gauntlet and blow him away. "Ha! Take that!"

(Hagakure POV.)

The building rumbles and then I hear an explosion go off. They're all inside now and I can hear them fighting. I haven't located Twice and Toga yet, but I need to hurry and keep them occupied!

I run towards the location where Hatsume said she saw them. As I round the corner I spot them running my way, headed toward the stairs. It's times like these that I love my quirk. I run at them and hold my arms out at their neck level. They run full on into my forearms and choke themselves and drop to the floor.

"What the fuck was that!?" Twice coughs out as he holds his throat.

I look down at them and see that they're getting back up. Toga pulls her knife out and takes a stance, looking around. "If this is a raid by those Heroes, that invisible chick is probably here," she says.

She's not as dumb as I thought she was.. Even if she knows or thinks I'm here, I still can't let her know where I am. I sneak around behind her, readying myself to attack. I hold my breath in and lunge forward. I grab her wrist and twist the knife out. It falls to the floor and I kick it away.

"You fucking bitch!" she shouts. She throws her elbow back. I let her go and avoid her attack.

Toga spins around and swings her foot my way. I dodge and step out of her reach. Twice gets to his feet and wildly charges swinging his fists around. They both attack at the same time.

"Where the hell is she!? Just keep attacking and we'll get her!" Twice yells.

I move to the side and get around them. I get behind them as they keep blindly attacking the air. I jump up and use both of my feet to kick Twice in his back. Quickly before she can pinpoint my location I swing my fist at Toga, cracking her right in the face.

I turn my earpiece on as I look down at the two villains. "Kiri! Tetsu! I need you now!" I shout.

"Agh! Roger that!" Kirishima replies. "Just hold out a little longer!"

My brief moment of noise allowed Toga to hone in on my location. She spun on her heel and kicked her foot at me. I didn't have time to dodge so I blocked it with my arms. She grins big as she finally landed a solid hit on me.

I steady myself and get ready to fight them both head on. I've just gotta keep them up here until Kirishima can come.

(Kirishima POV.)

Kaminari totally fried that pink haired dude and the nightmare guy and Honenuki trapped them both in the ground. We still have to deal with this Hades dude and Ivy chick. Tetsu and I exchange looks and charge them both. He goes for Hades while I target Ivy.

Black flames rise up from the shadows as we near them. We've both trained with our quirks over the years to have a better resistance to heat as well as cold and other elements, so I'm confident that we can take them on!

Ivy forms a gun out of nowhere thanks to her quirk. She aims it at me and fires relentlessly. The bullets hit me but they have no chance at penetrating through my hardened body. I charge and swing my arm at her. She creates a large sword and blocks my hit. The blade and my quirk shred my arm cover, and my attack only managed to dent her sword.

While she's regaining her footing I bring my knee up and land a solid hit in her gut. She coughs and buckles over. I bring my fist up and unharden it as I connect it with her jaw. Before she can go flying away I catch her by the front of her shirt. I turn and throw her over my shoulder to where Honenuki has the others captured. She hits the ground and sinks in like the others - fully restrained up to her neck.

"Haha! Hell yeah! These villains are no match for us!" I shout with a laugh.

I turn to go and help Tetsu when the black flames suddenly engulf me. "Shit!" I harden my entire body and take the hit. "Dammit..."

"Kiri! Tetsu! I need you now!" I hear Hagakure shout over the coms.

I shield my face from the fire and jump and roll to the side to get away. "Riot!" Tetsu shouts to me. "I can handle this guy! You go help Invisible Girl!" he yells just as he punches Hades.

I nod, acknowledging what he said. Hades blasts his dark flames once more at the both of us. I dive back and evade the hit, but I don't know about Tetsu. "Agh! Roger that!" I respond to Hagakure. "Just hold out a bit longer!"

I've gotta get up there and help out! We need to take this guy out first!

(Midoriya POV.)

Everything is happening so fast it's almost too overwhelming. We've gotten the majority of the villains captured though. Sero, Ochaco, and Tokoyami have escorted the ones we caught on our side out to the police just a moment ago. That gave us more room to fight and less of a burden of them possibly getting themselves free.

I look across and see Kacchan's team still fighting Hades and Devi, and Kacchan is fighting Dabi. I charge forward and go to assist with our main target. I launch myself and bring my fist around right at his face. He's too quick. He backs away and dodges. I readjust myself and kick my foot forward, just barely grazing his arm.

Kacchan flies overhead and attacks. "AP shot!" he shouts, aiming his hand for a concentrated blow. His explosion fires like a bullet and pegs Dabi directly in the shoulder. "Ha! Take that ya bastard!"

Dabi stumbles back, holding his shoulder. I touch down on the ground and push off, headed back for him. I bring my right fist back and as he focuses on it I swing my left. I crack him in the side of the head. He tumbles through the air and smashes into the wall.

"Let's finish this fucker Deku!"

"Right!"

Me and Kacchan rush him together. As we near I can see him getting back to his feet. He doesn't look like he's in much pain from both our hits, but his face is bruised and his shoulder is burned. Dabi glares at us and throws his hand forward letting off an explosion of his blue fire. The heat is incredible, way hotter than any I've ever felt!

"Fuck!" Kacchan shields his face and tries to counter with an explosion. The flames are too powerful and it just absorbs Kacchan's attack.

"This isn't good," I say as we stand just out of his fire.

"Yeah right!" I look over to Kacchan. He unzips his winter costume and drops his gauntlets to the ground. Sweat has coated his entire body and his eyes are glaring at the swirling fire before us. "Get back Deku," he growls. "I'll send this fucker outside. If he keeps this up in here no one will be able to handle their own fights."

I look behind me and I see the others slowing their movements down, including some of the villains. Thanks to Dabi it seems like Hades has gotten the upper hand with their fight. We need to get him away now! I take a couple of steps back and allow Kacchan to make his move.

He steps forward, grinning like he always does. He aims both of his hands forward, keeping his palms facing Dabi. Sparks start to go off in little explosions as it looks like he's building his attack. "Now DIE!!!!" Kacchan shouts and lets off a powerful explosion.

The fire gets blown away and completely eradicates all the heat in the room as the cold air from outside rushes in. Dabi is wide eyed as he realizes what just happened. Kacchan blasts forward and presses his palm right up against his chest. He fires off one last explosion and sends Dabi flying through the hole in the wall.

"Nice one!" I shout out to him.

"Hmp. 'Course it is!" he calls back. "Well, I wasn't planning on it, I wanted to kick his ass for myself, but... I think it'd be best if we let Endeavor take him down."

I step up to where Kacchan is and see Dabi on the ground, looking up and glaring at Endeavor as he gets to his feet. "You may be right... As much as I'd like to watch or help, we need to finish off Hades and help get Toga and Twice," I state.

"Yeah. Let's get those losers while they settle this family issue."

(Shouto POV.)

Watching this is getting my blood pumping. Touya is much faster than he used to be, but his tolerance for taking a hit hasn't changed... Any normal person who'd take a direct his from Bakugou and Midoriya would have been out or at least in tremendous pain..

I watch Bakugou's cam and see him send Touya flying outside the building. Touya bounces off the street and rolls to a stop. Surrounding him is my father's sidekicks and the police are all still hanging back allowing the Pros to finish their mission.

Touya begins to pick himself up off the ground. I can't break my eyes away. I think Momo and Hatsume said something but all I can hear right now is the audio coming from the monitor. My dad stands before my brother, both of them are staring at one another... Touya is glaring, his anger and hatred towards our father looks like it's resurfacing. And my dad... He looks almost sad...

(Enji POV.)

Touya... It's time to put an end to this.. One of my biggest mistakes... I step past everyone who's surrounding him. I stand before my villain son and look down at him. I can see the years worth of hatred and anger in his eyes. I can't believe how I used to be, how I used to treat my children as tools for my own success... It was almost villainous...

"Touya, son I-"

"Don't fucking call me that!" he spits out. He gets to his feet and faces me head on. My dozens of sidekicks all get ready to attack, but I wave them off. This is something I must put an end to alone. "I'm not your fucking son anymore Endeavor! You burned that bridge long ago!"

"Fine. I've tried to reason with you before, but if you want to end this with a fight, so be it."

His flames explode from his body in a glowing blue intensity
of heat. He's still too wild with his power. I raise the temperature of my flames to meet his. My fire goes blue and I can feel my body heating up tremendously. I need to put a stop to this quickly! I throw my hand forward and blast a powerful stream of fire. He does the same. Seems like he hasn't forgotten what I taught him!

Our fire clashes in an explosion of swirling blue flames. The heat is incredible. The snow that's covered the entire block has begun to melt away. The police and others all get back, getting away from our fight. Good thing the perimeter got set up! I can't have any civilians getting in the way of this!

I cease my attack and his keeps coming. I roll out of the way and blast more at him. He explodes more fire from his body, absorbing my flames into his own. He can't keep this up for too long though or he risks burning himself even more than he already has. The best way to take him down is with brute force. He's still scrawny and relies on his quirk too much. A few consecutive hits should be enough to end this!

I ignite my fists in fire as I charge him. His focus is completely on me. He fires another attack my way. His flames surround us both in a ring of blazing fire. This heat is incredible. I launch my fists forward and blast out several fireballs. While he blocks them I form a spear using my quirk. I throw it at him.

He sees it coming and dodges it. "Gotta do better than that old man! I know how you fight and how your quirk works, remember!?"

The kid's not as stupid as I thought. I wipe the sweat from my face and run at him once more. Touya only grins as he blasts more fire my way. I extend my arms out and stop his flames with the palms of my hands. I generate enough fire in my palms to shield myself from his assault. It works well, I keep walking forward, closing the gap between us, however I can feel his attack growing in temperature. His flames begin to lighten in color, turning from blue to white.

His flames begin to push its way through my own. I can't hold my fire against his much longer and I don't have the speed to evade his attack! "Time to end this Touya!!!" I yell.

"I TOLD YOU NOT TO FUCKING CALL ME THAT!"

His fire intensifies. It eats through my flames and burns into my palms. I cross my arms over my face and walk through his incoming attack, taking the strong stream. I can feel it burning my arms through my costume. The pain is incredible but there's no way in hell I'm going down!

"You fucking bastard of a father! Just go down and stay down!"

Everything is starting to get blurry. The heat is getting hotter and hotter the closer I get to Touya. The white flames begin to burn parts of my costume away. It wasn't designed to take this much heat for this long. My glove and sleeves disintegrate and the fire begins to burn my skin.

"AAARRRGGHH!!!! TOUYA!"

His attack finally comes to an end. He must have reached his limit! I charge forward, ignoring the pain and the blood that's pooling from the bubbling wounds on my arms. I glare to my son. His hands and arms have become drenched in blood. The sleeves of his clothes have been burned away and he has fresh new injuries from his attack. I feel bad for what he's become, but my mistake with him turned into his own mistakes and choices! He's nothing but another villain who needs taken down!

I ignite my quirk back up, flaring my flames from behind me as an extra boost as I charge. I reach him and swing my fist up, connecting it against his gut. My fist and arm bleed more at the contact. Touya coughs and spits up blood. I grab him by his shirt, spinning and slamming him into the ground. I put my weight down against his body, keeping him trapped in place as I glare at him.

It seems like he wore himself down due to his overboard attack... He's completely unconscious. "Restrain him," I grumble as I lift myself from him. I feel lightheaded and dizzy. I'm losing too much blood from my injuries... I drop down to my knees and collapse to the ground.

A/N: I can't believe I spaced on updating this since October :/ I hope this one didn't seem rushed or anything. I spent the last 3 days figuring out how to have it set up and I decided on this... Hopefully this was good enough, but I feel like there's certain expectations of my writing and I hope I delivered for you all.

Until next time
