—That Night, 9:34pm—

"They're on their way now?" Kurogiri asked into the phone that he was holding up to the side of his head. After he got a response, he nodded. "Thank you for the heads up." He ended the call and placed the phone down on the table.

"What's going on with UA?" Magne asked from the couch.

Several of the LoV members were all in the main room on the first floor of the building, those members being Kurogiri, Toga, Hawks, Shigaraki, Magne, and Mr. Compress. Everyone else was on the two upper floors of the building doing their own thing.

"Oooh~ They say anything about Izuku?" Toga pushed.

"No, Toga," Kurogiri responded to her before he turned to the others in the room. "Both Present Mic and Eraser Head are leaving for a mission this evening. It has to do with us—well more specifically, it has to do with Puppet."

"Get her down here," Shigaraki ordered.

"Kay, on it." One of Hawks' feathers left his wing and flew its way up the stairs.

"I was told that they know our general location, so that would be around here in Shibuya," Kurogiri informed.

"I could scout if that would do us any good," Hawks volunteered.

"I would think it wise to stay put," Mr. Compress advised. "They are only after Puppet, meaning they have seen her around this area at some point." He looked at the warp villain. "They only said something about Puppet?"

"Yes," Kurogiri confirmed.

The magician turned back to the winged man. "They don't know we're here. If they are to spot you, it might spell the end for the rest of us."

"She was too stubborn to stay here that she rushed off and killed people," Magne pointed out. "I'm pretty sure that's why she got noticed."

"I would think so," Mr. Compress agreed.

Toga looked at Shigaraki, noticing his silence. "Whatcha thinkin' about, handy man?"

"I'm thinking about how useful your quirk can be," the leader said back.

The teenager cocked her head to the side with a confused expression.

"Kurogiri, can you get sedatives?" Shigaraki asked a bit more respectable than usual, turning to the wispy man.

"Yes I can, Tomura Shigaraki," Kurogiri responded. "May I ask why?"

"We're going to let them come to us. Once we can get them sedated, we'll get what we need."

"Get who sedated and why?" Puppet asked as she walked down the stairs, a vermillion feather gliding down beside her. The feather passed her and went back to Hawks, attaching itself back to his wing.

Kurogiri quickly got her caught up on the conversation. "We were informed that both Eraser Head and Present Mic have left UA to come after you. They have our general location."

"Okay, but that still doesn't answer my question," she responded. "Why do we want them sedated in the first place?"

"How much do you know about them?" Shigaraki asked her, going slightly off-topic.

"They're close friends and will do pretty much anything for each other," she answered easily.

"They foster the girl from the Shie Hassikai, right?"

"Technically UA does, but it's Eraser that mainly takes care of her. When he's not around, Present Mic takes that role." Realization dawned on Puppet as she realized where the idea Shigaraki had was going. Without either Eraser Head or Present Mic, Eri would be much more vulnerable.
