The boys all get back to school by nightfall and walk inside. "Ok, so what did you guys find out," Momo says. They sit down in the common room with everyone else in class 1-A.

"Well, first off, thank you for coming back early for all of us to talk...pretty much...shits not good," Sero sighs.

"Aizawa pretty much gave us the green light for murder. This guy is bad news," Denki says.

"Oh my god," Jirou says softly.

"So then it's settled," Iida says, standing up.

"What?" Izuku asks.

"I'm guessing our number one priority is keeping Eri safe...and I'm guessing that means we will be running if they can't take this guy out," Iida says.

"Yeah. We will divide ourselves into teams: the first defense, second defense, and final defense. The first line will stay here and help the pros if they..." Izuku stops and looks down.

Denki sighs. "Look, we need to be realistic. If...if they die...we are Eri's last hope. So, I think we should have Jirou, Iida, Kirishima, Hitoshi, and Shoji take Eri and run. First Defense will be me, Shoto, Izuku and Bakugou. Second Defense will be Tsuyu, Uraraka, Tokoyami, Mina, Sato, Sero and Momo. The third will be everyone else," Denki says.

"Hell no. I'm not leaving you all!" Kiri says worriedly.

"Calm down shitty hair...we will be ok," Bakugou says.

"FUCK THAT! You all just said if the pros are dead, we are the next ones to fucking die!" Jirou says. "Why can't we all just run together?!"

"Because we need to give you all time to run away...if the pros are dead, we need as many walls of defense from this guy," Sero says.

"Fuck...this is really bad, isn't it," Mina says softly.

"Everything will be ok," Izuku says softly.

"Why does he even want Eri in the first place?" Momo says.

"It's obvious," Denki shrugs. Everyone stares at him, confused.

"Think about it...Eri's quirk is to literally rewind...if forced...she could send the world back to the dark ages," Denki shrugs.

"Oh fuck..." Tokoyami says.

"Ok that is the first time Tokoyami has cursed, are we glossing over that or..." Denki looks around the room.

"Yeah...if he gets Eri...we are all fucked," Sero says.

"Ok...we need to have go-bags ready. I'll start making everyone's supplies. Keep them hidden. And not a word of this to Aizawa. If he or Mind find out that we plan on fighting like this...they won't be happy," Momo says.

"No, they won't be," Nezu says.

"Fuck! Sir! Hello! We were just discussing...plants...trees...flowers....ficus," Denki smiles nervously.

"Make sure to pack medical supplies in your bags. I know it will be hard, but you can not stop to help other people. Your priority is each other and the child," He says.

"You...you aren't mad?" Momo says.

"Oh, I'm furious...I don't like the idea of you children fighting this villain. But I'm also not stupid. This villain's quirk isn't like anything we have seen before..." Nezu sighs.

"Sir..." Momo says.

"I won't tell anyone of your plan...I will die before I put you all in jeopardy. Keep each other safe and, if need be...leave the country," He says sadly before walking out of the dorms.

"I'm scared," Mina says. "I...I don't wanna lose anyone...I don't wanna lose my friends," Mina whispers.

Bakugou hugs her tightly. "You aren't losing shit, dumbass. We are going to find this asshole and put him six feet under. We are just taking steps to be safe and shit," Bakugou growls. Mina hugs him tightly. The whole class hugs each other.

"We will protect each other and Eri...No one is going to fucking touch our family, Mina," Izuku says.

"Ok so is everyone cursing now?" Denki mumbles.

Shoto hops out of the window and takes off, running down the street. He gets onto the first bus, and he takes it all the way back to the mental hospital. He hops the fence and runs over to a small grass area.

"Touya?" He whispers. He sees a small blue flame and smiles. Touya walks out of the dark and hugs him.

"Shoto, what the fuck are you doing? Trying to get locked up too?" He asks.

"I...I need you to teach me how to use my fire," Shoto says.

"What?" Touya steps back.

"I can't ask dad, and I need to be ready," Shoto says sternly.

"Sho, what's going on?" Touya asks.

"There is a villain, and he wants to take Hitoshi's little sister. I need to be ready to protect them," Shoto says.

Touya stares at him and blinks a few times. "I...Sho, fire is a hard thing to learn," Touya says, gesturing at his scars.

"Please..." Shoto says. "Try."

"Just...fuck. If it gets bad...really bad...like...end of the world bad...just...let go. Think about everything dad did to us...and let go," Touya shrugs.

"Let go?" Shoto asks softly.

"Yeah. Dad taught you to control fire. If shit gets bad...let the fire control you...that's all I can tell you," Touya shrugs. Shoto nods. Touya hugs him agian. "Now get the fuck home..." Touya smirks. Shoto nods. Touya grabs his face and looks at him.

"Sho, if shit goes south, you fucking run. Do you hear me? You run. Don't try to be a hero. Take your boyfriend and his sister and get the fuck out of here...run," Touya says softly.

"Touya,"

"I mean it. I'm your big brother, and you better fuckin' listen. You. Run," Touya snaps. He hugs him tightly, and Shoto can feel his body shaking.

"Ok...I promise," Shoto says. Touya nods and slips back into the dark. Shoto heads back to the house and climbs into the window.

"Have a fun little meet-up?" Hitoshi snaps. Shoto looks up and sees Hitoshi sitting on his bed.

"Toshi,"

"Don't fucking Toshi me...." Hitoshi stands up.

"You aren't on the first line. You are coming with me...with us," Hitoshi says.

"No, I'm not...." Shoto says.

"Shoto!" Hitoshi says angrily.

Shoto grabs him and hugs him. "I will die before he hurts you and Eri...you heard Aizawa...he's scared...he's never scared...and if I need to be on the first line to make sure you get away, then I will," Shoto says.

Hitoshi sobs into Shoto's neck. "I love you...I can't...."

"You won't lose me noodle...I promise," Shoto whispers.

Hitoshi hugs him tighter. "Ok."
