At school the next day, everyone was talking about Todoroki's disappearance. Most thought that he was just sick, but I knew he must've gotten hurt when Toga took his blood. She probably knocked him out so he wouldn't struggle. He should be back in a few days, but blows to the head can be pretty serious.

I couldn't focus on my school work for the entire day because of the visit from the League of Villains the night before. I hadn't gotten much sleep and I had plenty of stress on my head. It was pretty obvious that Uraraka and Iida thought something was wrong with me since they kept asking me if I needed to go to see recovery girl.

"Midoriya!

"Huh?" I hadn't even realized that I had been spacing out.

"This is the third time this period. Please pay attention."

"Y-yes, sir."

"You look like you didn't sleep a wink last night."

Uraraka was walking me to the bus station. Iida was busy with a meeting for Class Presidents, but Uraraka was, as usually, happy to go out if her way to make sure I wasn't lonely on my way home. I wasn't sure if I liked it or not, since it was nice having company, but it also made me feel like a burden, making her go out of the way for me like this.

"Make sure you get plenty of sleep tonight, okay? And if you ever need someone to talk to, I'll always be willing." She beamed at me and it made me want to smile too.

"Okay, sure. I'll make sure to do that. Thanks, Uraraka."

"No problem, Deku!"

That night, I paced around my room, waiting for the villains to show up. I just wanted to get this over with. I'd collected minimum data on a few of the weaker kids in General Studies and, though I knew what Shigaraki wanted, I wasn't going to hand him my precious notebook with information on my former classmates.

I heard the window slide open and my heart started to pound. He's gonna hurt me! He's gonna hurt me!

"Well?" Shigaraki's voice was quiet, but it made me shake like a leaf. I was already holding the notebook in my hand. I was shaking so bad that I almost dropped it a couple times before handing it to the villain.

Slowly, Shigaraki opened the notebook. A minute passed, then another. Then one more.

"What is this crap?"

I winced. He used his quirk to turn the notebook to duet before grabbing me by the front of the shirt. "Did you really think I would take that? There's nothing helpful in there. I need information on the little Hero Eggs, not the useless General Studies brats!"

"I-I-I'm s-s-sorry!" I felt tears building up in my eyes. He was gonna beat the crap out of me!

A hand wound it's way in my hair and jerked up. I yelped in pain.

"Shut up. Wouldn't wanna wake momma up, do we?"

I cried silently in fear as I looked up at the glare that Shigaraki gave me. "What are your orders?"

"T-to get i-information on the kids f-from Class 1-A."

"Good. Now, you'd better give me that information tomorrow, or your mom might have a little...accident."

I felt like crying. It was one thing to hurt me, but to threaten an innocent, especially my mom...who wouldn't give in?

I nodded slowly. "O-okay."

"Good answer."

Just as soon as he had come, Shigaraki was gone.

I knew that if I did this, I would be betraying the heroes that I'd looked up to for my whole life, but I didn't know how to get our of this one. There was always All Might, but if Shigaraki found out that I told someone, the people I loved would be in danger.

I curled up onto my bed and started to sob.

Okay
I know this is really late.

But I have an excuse...

1) Writer's block (it was really bad)

2) I was camping for a week without WiFi

3) I had to help with my church's VBS (which we always go way over the top with and I'm exaused now)

But now I'm back!

I think I have an idea for the next chapter, so the next update should be real soon!
