𝔼𝕣𝕒𝕤𝕖 𝕎𝕙𝕒𝕥? [ON HOLD]

I walk away from Katsuki while he's whispering my name angrily. My heart speeds up and I can only think of what might happen to him if I don't come back alive. Something I didn't think was unlikely. But that didn't matter much right now. I was going to go save Eri in a way I could see her as my sister.

"You guys got one too?" Eijiro asked as we met up in the hallway, I was especially considerate about how dark it was right now, people were sleeping so we needed to move quickly and quietly.

"Yeah," Uraraka responded firmly.

"It's time to go." Midoriya looked at his hand before making a fist. After that time went by like a blur, we made it to the meeting spot in record time just after eating a quick breakfast.

For some reason though, Eijiro kept checking up on me, as if he couldn't help but worry about my mental state in the current moment. "You okay Lily?" I gave a halfhearted smile and a thumbs up.

"Yeah, though I'll feel much better when Eri is back in my arms..." I trailed off at the end, mumbling it so that Eijiro couldn't hear me.

We stood in the meeting room as the adults talked about where Eri was, Rock Lock seemed a little disappointed his work went back as simple data but looked happy enough that the little girl had been found.

I was ecstatic, though not so much at the thought of entering the Hassaikai main building. Who knows what could be lurking there behind every corner. I could only wonder.

I feel something warm touch my left hand, I look down and see Eijiro linking my pinky with his. I smile slightly and feel my heart start to speed up. Wait-... hold on... what?

No, no I can't think about this right now, I have a mission.

I let my happy face fall and continue listening to our mission details, though I don't pull away from Eijiro's comforting pinky hold.

"We are gonna do it!" I hear a loud voice yell, I turn my head and see Togata cheering and smiling, in reaction I feel my grin coming back. He had probably been regretting not grabbing Eri when we had the chance. So seeing him in higher spirits was calming.

After details were given we were told to go put on our gear and made our way into the changing rooms to do so. I put on my vest, and then pants and belt. I also strapped on my oxygen tank and shoes, deciding to put my goggles on my forehead until I needed them. I also put my speakers on and turned them onto the max.

I had a particularly bad feeling about something. I walked back into the meeting room just as the others did, heads held high in hopes to stop the feeling of dread.

"Now then, let's begin."

"With Nighteyes quirk we have found out that there were underground rooms and hallways. We also know that that girl is within one of them. We don't know the entire layout of the underground hallways so everyone will need to move with caution." A policeman informed us. "We believe that the man Sir Nighteye saw took the shortest route to the target. This is the best intel we have at the moment considering the Hassaikai stronghold. It's the basis of this mission." Nerve, after nervous nerve, I listened carefully.

These guys were extremely dangerous, especially that Chasiki guy.

"Things are moving fast now huh?" Eijiro asked with a smile, turning to the rest of us for confirmation.

"You're energetic, considering how e-early it is," Tamaki spoke, he seemed to be getting better at not stuttering with us. It put my mind at ease.

"Mmmm... I'm getting nervous..." Uraraka complained Tsuyu agreed with her. Though the dragon hero soon took their attention away from their nerves by telling them that schools often didn't prepare them to deal with large investigations like this.
