Chapter 6

(Aizawa pov)

By now it's safe to say problem child wasn't just out late, worse yet we haven't had any luck locating the league's location. I perch on a roof top surveying the land. There's a flutter of wings, it's not hard to guess who's beside me now. "So, why exactly are we accusing the league in particular...?", Hawks asks. I turn and glare at him. "Nobody else is stupid enough to kidnap a UA student," I mutter. "O-oh, yeah," he laughs. He seems a tad stiff...

I slip through the old cracked window  and make a smooth landing on the musty gray floor. I look up and there's Dabi, dragging an unconscious green haired boy. The target. "Dabi," I growl. He gives a glare in return, "Hawks". I plant my face into my palm, "why was I not informed of this plan?", I ask. He gives a sly smile, "because you'd be completely against kidnapping a UA student and forcing him to either give up his quirk or join the league," he purrs. Damnit, he's not wrong... I look at the boy, he's that bush one I saw with Endeavor along with that angry anthropomorphic Pomeranian and the candy cane. "What would you even do with his quirk? How are you going to get it? Isn't it like breaking your arm whenever you punch someone?", I ask. He rolls his eyes, "first off all, the boss is back, and he wanted this kid in particular, said something about All Might and his brother-" OFA has a brother- "and he wanted to give it to either Shiggy or... You". My eyes grow wide with shock. What benefit would come from giving it to me? I thought they didn't trust me just yet? Is this a test or...? "He figured if you're really on our side, you could use this to increase your strength of attack," what Dabi's saying doesn't match with his voice. He says it's so I can be a stronger spy. But his tone says he's expecting me to use it against them and he's going to argue for the quirk to be passed to Shigaraki- or him. I really need to get closer to them fast... But at the expense of a kid? I bite my lip. "Well, the pros are going to be looking for the league soon", I explain. He frowns. "Well then, we'll just have to work fast". I nod and take one last look at the kid. He's bleeding and beaten up. Yet his face looks so determined. Keep going strong kid...

While getting dressed I found bandages at least. And I've managed to finish before Toga gets here! Now... I look around the room. There's cameras, so breaking out isn't an option. I calmly fold my clothes and hold them in my arms, I hope I'm avoiding suspicion. Plus this is my favorite All Might shirt from the silver age! It would take too long to destroy the camera. I sit down on the bathtub ledge and stare at the door. I'd estimate it's been about 13 minutes. So close... There might be a blindspot here behind the shower curtain, but the crash from breaking the wall would certainly alert them. I look over at the wall. I can hear footsteps. What are my odds... They've stopped at the door. I jump up. The door knob turns and clicks. Now or never! Green lightning zaps around my body as I turn and kick the wall full force. There's a lot of cracking as the brick chunks fly into the tub. "Hey! We just got thaaaaat! It was a luxury!", Toga cries out from behind me. I pause for a second, "sorry!".

(Hawks pov)
Yeah, my conscious isn't gonna take it if the kid dies or something. So, I may or may not be slowly leading them to the hideout. Of course I'm going to be backup and pray they don't need me in there. There is no way of explaining that to Dabi. I can see it now. "Hey, that looks like a hideout," I point directly to their hideout. "Good eye, it does!", Midnight exclaims. "We don't want to rush in there though, Hawks might be wrong," Present Mic mutters. No no no. Go in there already! Save the freaking kid before one of them comes out here and spots us! There's a loud crash and I look at the wall. There's another, and another. Isn't that the bathroom? Wasn't that thing a luxury too? "Well, something is trying to get out," Endeavor states. No shit Sherlock. Is that kid insane? Didn't they tell him how thick those walls are? Ugh, we better get in there quick. "Hey, I'll go back for Recovery girl, you guys go in and check it out, whatever's going on in there doesn't seem legal," I point out. Please you idiots go save your broccoli child. Eraserhead nods, "we've wasted too much time watching, even if that's not problem child something is being held captive". Problem child? That's a good nickname. But I prefer mine.

So I've learned it's a challenging process to avoid Toga's knives and needles and also destroy a stupidly thick wall. Like, is that where their whole budget went or something? It's overkill! I'm bleeding from numerous points. I've got a few shards of metal in my left leg, a knife is in my right shoulder, I've accidently impaled my forehead with some small pieces of brick and a large part of one of these titanium plates in the wall. Also I've been using my right arm to guard my clothes which I've thrown under the jacket, it's starting to bleed heavy though. "What's going on," I glance behind me. Yaaaaay. Dabi. I can't focus on him. I've gotten through 6 or so layers so far, I can do this! I throw my right leg at the titanium layer once more. Finally, enough of it has broke! But so has my ankle. Eh, I can still move it. I grit my teeth and nearly avoid a knife. I get less than a minute to move as blue flames pass by my backside. On the plus side he melted off more titanium. Damn this all hurts. But, 3 more layers, and also the pros should be coming anyways!
