a/n we are now in north carolina, and we just went up in the mountains. the humidity change basically killed all muscle to my neck and my head feels like three bowling balls on of my neck.

todoroki gave up on searching for midoryia, and sat in the cafeteria. "he never came. his neighbors found out about his mom and called the police. they suspected izuku did it, but didn't find him at the orphanage." iida explained.

todoroki nodded, and rested his elbow on the table, and his face in his hand. "so... midoryia went missing?" iida nodded. "they're getting information for the missing poster."

"how exactly do you know this?" uraraka asked. iida rolled his eyes. "i watch the news-" "-neerrrd," uraraka interrupted.

kirishima came up to their table. "not that i was eavesdropping or anything, deku went missing?" bakuhoe stood behind him, arms crossed.

iida nodded. he pushed the glasses up his nose, to keep them from falling off. kirishima nodded. "thanks." kiri's mood dropped. he turned, and walked off with bakugou.

uraraka suddenly seemed sad. "aww.. kiri-kun is sad..." todoroki sighed. "lets just hope hes okay... the least that could happen is that he was kidnapped-" "nah, i think rape." uraraka interrupted. shouto was hesitant, but nodded.

"kidnapping would be much worse than rape- not that rape is any good." iida shrugged.

"well... i should get going, before dad freaks. bye, guys." todoroki got up. "bye, bye! text us later." uraraka reminded. todoroki nodded. "cya, man." iida waved.

todoroki held up two fingers to his head, then pointed it at them, and turned on his heel. he then began walking home.

bakugou sat down next to kirishima. "you good?" he looked down at kiri. "i- umm- im fine." bakugou ran his fingers over kiri's fingers, and grabbed his hand. "you wanna stay over at my place?" a few eyes stared at the two. all of them were confused on why bakuhoe was so calm.

"you dont mind?" bakugou shook his head. "whatever youd like. you know where to come if you want to." he smiled down at kiri.

"well," kirishima forced himself into a smile. "lets go!" bakugou grinned. "good choice." the two held hands as they exited the school. people imediantly began whispering.

uraraka squealed. "so cute!" iida smiled slightly. "if only todoroki were here-" uraraka quickly got up,
and ran out the door. she took a picture of the two, and came back.

iida looked down at her knowingly. "go ahead, send it to him."

izuku smiled as he saved the picture. he thought it was cute. there was still sirens. he knocked down the boxes, and got up. he grabbed a younger police officer, and put his hand over her mouth. he pulled her behind the shop.

he tried to talk, but nothing came out. he knocked her quivering body down with the gun, and used the knife to kill her. he sunk his fingers into her blood, and wrote the words,
