Shoto Todoroki stared down at the water pouring out the pipes. It was already up to his ankles.

The hero looked around wildly, searching for any means of escape. He heated up his side with fire, but for every drop of water that evaporated, two more took its place. 

Todoroki began to panic. 

He tried plugging the pipes with ice and banged on the window frantically, but his efforts were to no avail.

The water had risen to his knees.

Shoto banged on the walls, searching for a weak spot, anything, anything.

Cold, dark fear rose up inside of Todoroki, engulfing him faster than the water.

He fought the urge to sink to his knees, water up to his chest.

The ceiling was only a few feet away, and Shoto felt his feet rise off the ground, head brushing the top of the room.

He treaded water, banging against the ceiling, water up to his neck and still filling up the room.

Soon the hero's nose and mouth were underwater.

No...no...I can't die like this...I have to save Izuku...see him again...he can't be all villain...Izuku..Izuku.

Todoroki's resolve hardened. His lungs were on fire, and his heart beat slower and slower.

With a feral scream, Shoto turned the water around him to ice and made it burst outwards.

He dropped to the ground.

The walls and window had exploded from the force of his ice blast.

With his mouth set in a grim line, the hero rose from the floor and walked out of the room, hurrying through the hallway.

Izuku, I'm coming.

...

Shoto flopped onto his bed. 

He had gotten some strange looks trudging through the streets in his sopping-wet hero uniform and haggard expression, with people crossing the street to avoid him.

Todoroki's mind was in turmoil with the events of the day. He crossed the room to pick up the phone, disregarding the pangs in his gut.

He dialed a number.

"Hello, Tokyo Police Station? I would like to phone in a tip..."

Todoroki spoke on the phone for a few more minutes.

"Yes. Yes. I'll be there in ten minutes."

He hung up, changing into a collared shirt and tie.

Then he left, walking two blocks to the police station.

Shoto pushed the door open cautiously, greeted by a grim-faced young woman.

She was of slim build, and wore studded purple gloves and a matching suit.

"Hello, Mr. Todoroki. My name is Kyoko Kirigiri. Please come in."

would all DanganRonpa fans PLEASE STAND UP

She motioned towards a meeting room.

Inside was two chairs on either side of a table, and a light.

She closed the door behind them and took out a sophisticated-looking tablet.

"Now, please describe the man who captured you." Kyoko spoke calmly.

"His name was...is Izuku Midoriya. He..." Shoto coughed and went on.

"S-sorry. He is the new mystery villain that shows up on the news all the time. He has green hair, green eyes..." Shoto went on, with Kyoko nodding and taking notes.

"Mr. Todoroki, if I may ask, do you have any prior connections with this person?" Todoroki met Kirigiri's cool gaze with a tired expression.

"Yes. He was my boyfriend in high school and disappeared senior year."

"Ah, I see. His records say he was presumed dead, but clearly not. Thank you, Mr. Todoroki. We will use this information to aid in our investigation." She opened the door for him, and Shoto walked out.

Todoroki left the building. 

He knew that the police were keeping up a pretense, that there wasn't anything they could really do.

No matter.

Standing outside on that afternoon, Shoto Todoroki made a vow.

A vow that he would not rest until he brought his former love to justice.
