   "Look, we can do this the easy or hard way." Arisa took a small step closer with her hands raised. "One: you can just leave and pretend you never saw us, I mean we can be besties if you want. Or two: we get violent and screw our friendship."

   "But why can't we get violent and still be besties?" Toga tilted her head to side in confusion.

   "Cause that's not how it works."

   "But I want your blood!" Toga whined.

   "That's a little psychotic to say... listen, Toga, right?"

   "Yep!"

   "Look... I don't know what your life was before this but whatever the reason, I'm sorry. I know you're amazing and I know you can do amazing things with your Quirk for the better good... whatever it is. Moving on— we can be friends. Isn't that what you want? We can do crazy but legal shit together. We can have fun and talk about boys. Oh! And of course talk shit about the people we don't like! Being a villain isn't the brightest idea but if it's something you want to do, then you do you. I support you, I guess."

"Yeah... sorry, talking me out of it won't work."

"Really?" Arisa let out a sigh. "I need to get better at my Talk-No Jutsu..."

   "Let's get violent, shall we?!" Toga sneered as she jumped up and threw herself on to Arisa.

"Woah there, vixen!"

   "Vixen?" Toga giggled. "I like the name! In that case I'll call you... She-Wolf! Because it sounds awesome."

   "Eh, I like it." Arisa hummed with a shrug before flipping Toga over.

   "Ari! That's the wrong one!" Ochaco shouted.

   "What do you mean this is the wrong one?!"

"Clone!" Tsuyu added.

"Clo—" Arisa was cut off by the sight in front of her.

  Ochaco was now pinned against the tree with with a knife and Asui had a bloodied tongue.

   "Shit." Arisa cussed softly before running over to the trio.

"Above, vixen!"

Toga glanced up, a kick on the face sending her flying a few feet away.

"That was a pretty good kick, Wolfie."

"Why thank you."

"But not good enough!"

Arisa dodged the knife with ease, raising her leg to knee the crazed blonde in her arm, causing her to drop the silver blade.

"Asui! Ururaka!"

"Arisa!" The bluenette added with a small huff and pout.

"Too many for me alone." Toga ran off, stopping in her tracks to send a grin towards Midoriya and Arisa. "See you two next time."

———

"Kacchan!"

Arisa's fist tightened, her knuckles turning white as she helplessly watched her classmate being taken away.

"See you next time, U.A!"

———

   "The only good thing that happened here was the fact that Arisa didn't end up in the hospital this time." Kaminari commented softly.

  The remaining Class 1-A students gathered around Midoriya's hospital bed, a sad expression on each of their faces.

   "Well... he has a point there." Tokoyami agreed.

   "True." Oijiro added. "It's usually her and Midoriya who end up in the hospital."

  Arisa cleared her throat, "this isn't about me, guys. We're here to talk about what we're going to be doing."

   "About what?" Jiro questioned.

   "Bakugo."

   "We can't just not do anything about it." Kirishima said softly. "We have to help him."

   "We're trying to find a way to rescue him ourselves incase you guys haven't gotten it yet." Arisa told the group who were looking around at each other in confusion.

   "You're what?!" Iida bellowed. "That's not right and you know it."

   "Oh come on!" Kirishima angrily spat. "Do you know what it's like being stuck in a room unable to help out your friend while everyone else was out there trying their hardest? The least I can do now is help rescue him."

   "Why not just let the Pro Heroes to it?" Asui asked. "That is their job after all. You guys will be breaking the rules and..."

   "And?"

   "And acting like villains."

   "Don't compare us to them. We're nothing like villains." Arisa growled, her hands clenched into a tight fist. "There's a difference between hurting people and wanting to save a friend." 

   "Arisas's right," Todoroki was quick to agree. "We're not hurting anyone purposely for our sake. If anything, we're hurting ourselves and the possibility of staying in U.A. Bakugo's our friend and classmate. It's only normal we would try to save him."

   "Ribbit. But still," Asui looked down at the floor in shame. "We should leave the job to the Pro Heroes."

   "The Pro Heroes don't even have any proper leads yet." Kaminari said, now standing besides Arisa, a hand on her shoulder.

   "Well actually..." Kirishima glanced towards Arisa. "They do now."

   "What? Since when?" Kaminari questioned. "They were practically clueless just this morning."

   "We passed by Yaomomo's room." Arisa leaned against Kaminari, a yawn leaving her mouth. "And we accidentally heard her talking to All Might and a detective. She planted a tracker on the Nomu."

   "Oh, wow. She's such a genius."

   "Right? That's what I said."

   "We were planning on asking her to make us a new tracking device for us... so Midoriya, are you in?"
