"We have to escape"
Bakugo said, holding out his hand.

"Kacchan...
The only one that should escape is you..."

"Deku.
We. Have. To. Escape."
Bakugo repeated.

Midoriya looked away, unable to look his brother in the eyes.

Bakugo sighed, "we will escape...
One day...

We will."

Nightfall descended upon them.
Everyone in the building was sound asleep, except for 1 person.

"...I wish I could just wish myself to escape but I don't want to use Deku like AFO...
Using his quirk already makes him sad enough.

Not to mention what if he doesn't grant the wish...

I need to escape, but Deku doesn't want to.
And I can't force him to escape with me...

So.
I need to escape and get help.
Once I get help, they can storm this place and rescue Deku out of here.

Yeah...

It's perfect...

I'll escape for the both of us.
That way, Deku won't feel like a burden...
This way we'll both be happy...!

Tomorrow I go to the lab again...
I don't want to go to the lab again...

So I'll have to escape tonight.

I have to.
While I'm still small enough to fit through vents..."
Bakugo crawled out of bed.
He glanced at the door, it stood there.

He grabbed the biggest shirt he could find in his closet and tied off the ends to make a makeshift bag.
He didn't have a real bag.

He stuffed it with clothes, he didn't own many things.
He only had clothes and toys.
He filled it and then put 1 toy, his favorite toy.
It was the toy he had wished for, it was his first and only wish he had asked of Midoriya.

After that, he tied off the shirt and wrapped 2 pairs of pants around it.
He threw it on his back and completed the make shift bag.

"...okay...
My stuff is ready...
Now I just escape..."
He felt a bead of sweat roll down his forehead. Everything was ready, he just didn't know if he had the guts to go through with the plan.

He glanced back at his brother who laid around asleep.
"...I'll just leave a note...
A goodbye note."

He walked back over to his desk and grabbed a pen and paper.

"Hey Deku.
By the time you're reading this, I have escaped.
I'm sorry.
I want to take you with me but you kept refusing.
So I decided on the second best option which was to escape and save you later.

Please survive until I can get us help.
Don't let AFO get to you.
... please stay safe.

-
Katsuki Bakugo."

He signed off and left the note on his pillowcase.

He walked over to the door and shakily slid it open.
The halls were quiet and empty, no one could be heard.

He carefully tip-toed down the stairs and found himself in the living room.
It was dark, almost impossible to see.
He had been using his quirk to light up his hands so he could see in the vast darkness.
