« CHAPTER FIVE »

| January 11 | 6:41 P.M. | Hospital
"Aizawa can we talk?" All Might asked, his face filled with urgency.

Eraser Head glanced at him and nodded. But before All Might could even begin, Detective Tsukauchi suddenly called for the former number one hero.

"I believe you two are standing as guardians for Izuku Midoriya?" He stopped in front of both of them, in which both gestured a yes, "You can come with me to the questioning of the villains your other students captured. I think it'd give them at ease when you explain them everything."

With this both teachers followed the detective and rode on a car towards the police station. Nezu came along with them too before they sent the students back at their dorm.

Aizawa glanced at his seatmate and asked, "What were you planning to tell me, All Might?"

All Might shook his head, "Nevermind."

Aizawa knew he still had something in his mind but he figured he shouldn't push it. Now that their time was limited anyways.

| 6:51 P.M. | Police Station
All three teachers and Detective Tsukauchi sat across the culprit of Midoriya's gun wound.

"Just answer our questions honestly. If you lie, it will be detected so you just have to tell us the truth." Tsukauchi started, putting down the paper on pen on his lap.

The villain snarled, "Promise you, I'm not telling you shit."

The four of them sighed and began asking questions close to their investigation. The first villain really didn't answer anything as he promised, even after being yelled at by Eraser Head.

And so, they skipped to another villain, who was shaky and stuttery. He sounds like he was on the verge of being killed.

"What is in the bullet?"

The villain stammered, "D-Don't tell the boss, okay?!" The four nodded, even if he was always speaking with pauses, this one is the best they got to unveil the secret. How convenient.

The villain explained that the only thing he knew about his boss's quirk was that it can make the one hit with the bullet's quirk to go haywire on its own. As if the owner is losing control.

"Hmm, so you're goal is to make quirks destroy themselves." Detective Tsukauchi cleared up, "Tell me, why are there two human DNAs mixed in the bullet?"

The villain was taken aback. It looked like he didn't know anything about any of this. "W-What?"

"Apparently you aren't informed of your own plans." Tsukauchi sighed. Two quirks of two villains were appar

Nezu stood up, but he was still small though, "Is there a way to turn off the quirk the bullet caused?"

"N-No.. From what I heard, it can't be rewinded. But it will run out eventually.." The villain looked down.

Aizawa grumbled and questioned, "Was Midoriya your target or is it just a coincidence?"

"Somehow both.. T-The boss wanted to use it on a hero.. considering they probably have strong quirks.. a-and that boy said they were heroes in training.. so it was the perfect opportunity.." He answered briefly.

The next few questions weren't clearly answered by the villain. He was just someone who had a debt to the boss and was obviously a person the leader didn't tell much of his plans.

Even so, the information they got was important. All they need to know is to find a way to solve it.

| 6:50 P.M. | Heights Alliance
Bakugo was finally finished making his own delicious tea in the Kitchen when the door flew open. It revealed the students of Class 1-A who attended Todoroki's birthday.

"You extras are past curfew." Bakugo smirked, "Those teachers must've beaten you to a pulp."

Everyone except Bakugo looked swollen. Their eyes were looking down on the ground, not speaking a word.

Some like Kaminari and Kirishima sat down on the couch, they looked lost in thought. Todoroki and Tokoyami stood in a corner, their heads on their hand as if they were frustrated.

Students like Iida, Yaoyorozu and Ojiro crossed their arms as they sat in different places, all looked like they were planning a solution.

Heck, even Mineta, who'd probably be thinking about pervy stuff by now just wrapped himself in his own arms.

Uraraka's eyes were full of tears with Asui patting her at the back, trying to comfort her. All in all, everyone just looked depressed.

"The hell with the long stupid faces?" Bakugo stopped sipping his tea and had his hands on the table.

No one uttered a word, they were all quiet and it clearly irritated the ash blonde to be ignored.

He observed everyone's faces and only counted eighteen. He was even more grumpier. What was up with his classmates?

"Where the hell is shitty Deku?" Bakugo grunted.

He noticed how everyone tensed up at the mention of the name. Everyone didn't move an inch and sat there in stillness.

"You damn extras, answer me or--"

"He got shot." Todoroki stated, no emotion in his words. Everyone stiffened at the answer.

Bakugo glanced at the two-tone haired boy, "The hell do you mean?!"

"I told you Midoriya was shot. Do I have to repeat myself?" Todoroki restated sternly but a crack on his voice while saying it came in the way.

"Quit joking, half 'n half bastard! That nerd isn't--"

"I'm not. He's.." Todoroki responded harshly, but having a much more soft tone on the next, "He's being quarantined.. in the hospital.."

Bakugo grunted undescribable noises, as if he was building up words, "Then those damn doctors should just get rid of the gunshot! The hell are you sad for?!"

"It wasn't just a normal gunshot, Bakugo." Yaoyorozu stood up, facing the angry blonde. Everyone else couldn't stand the atmosphere they were in.

"Can anyone fucking explain?!" Bakugo flipped the glass of tea off the table, the cup shattering to the floor with liquid spilling all over.

"The doctors said there was something in the bullet.. they said it affects his quirks.. a-and that Midoriya has eight quirks.." Yaoyorozu explained adamantly until she stopped on the next, "and.. because of that.. h-he.."

"D-Deku.." Uraraka spoke up, " The doctors.. They said.. he was.. he would.. he.."

"He would die." Todoroki finished.

In just one sentence, everyone froze. In just three words, the whole class got even more gloomy.

Bakugo glanced at Todoroki, wide-eyed at his words. Deku? That damn nerd? He was going to die from a fucking gunshot? He said he was going to go higher than him, then why was he going to die?

That stupid nerd said he was going to be the greatest hero, so why was he wasting away on his deathbed? That Deku will just leave them all with no shitty goodbyes? What the hell is up with that?

"Motherfucking Liars." Bakugo said before running off to his room, the slamming of his door can be heard even on the living room.

Everyone slowly got up and went to their respective rooms. Some passed by the greenhead's room, and it just gave shivers down their spines.

Bakugo slumped on his bed and began surfing the net. The news travels to the reporters pretty quick. He searched and found all recent ones.

"U.A. Student, shot at Local Soba Shop by Villains"

And the picture of the student who was shot displayed a green-haired boy. A freckled face with big round eyes. An innocent smile wishing to be a hero.

Izuku Midoriya.
