Midoriya worried for Todoroki when he requested him to leave. He remembered how vulnerable Shouto could be when it came to love. He should've known that Todoroki wasn't ready for relationships. 'I'm a fucking idiot. Todoroki is still recovering from his past relationship. What if he assumes I'm compelling him into a relationship?' He was willing to give Shouto time to think over his confession and would understand if Shouto denied his affection. He arrived at the retreat and noticed Kirishima talking on the phone with someone. 

"Bakugou, you're behaving like a complete idiot! We promised that we wouldn't go off on our own!" Midoriya has never witnessed this side of Kirishima before. Kirishima was known to be calm and collected one in the organization. Midoriya pondered if it was the right decision to get involved. He knew surprisingly little about the situation, so he wasn't going to be much use.

"No one wants a pathetic, useless boy."

Midoriya clutched his green curls and attempted to calm himself down. He couldn't breakdown while Kirishima remained in the room. He couldn't exhibit weakness, or they'll use it against him. He couldn't comprehend why he was suddenly paranoid over his friends. He trusted the Anarchy, but everyone hid their secrets. They were running from their past, and now it's catching up with them. Midoriya was running his history.

Kirishima set the phone down to notice Midoriya clutching onto the table. "Midoriya?" He approached the boy to see Midoriya's eyes spaced out, "Hey, calm down!" Midoriya tried to cool down his breathing, "Shut up!"

"You're just like your father!"

Kirishima didn't apprehend why Midoriya was behaving this way. The red-haired boy grabbed Midoriya's wrist to face him, "Midoriya, calm down!" Midoriya's snapped out his trance and focused on Kirishima. "I'm sorry, I didn't know what got into me." Kirishima nodded his head, "It's fine."

"Why were you arguing with Kacchan?" Kirishima glanced towards his phone, "Katsuki is stubborn and decided to head out of town to complete a mission." Midoriya used to think about the time before when the Anarchy was in order, 'Things are changing, and I'm unsure if that's a good thing.' Kirishima sighed, "I thought he'll learn his lesson after the accident with Mineta and the league. We're not indestructible. I don't want anything to happen to him." Midoriya understood what Kirishima was talking about, "Kacchan can be stubborn, just like Todoroki."

"Midoriya, what's bothering you? We're not supposed to keep secrets from each other. If we try to run from our past, it will catch up with us." Midoriya sighed, "I told Todoroki how I feel about him."

"Midoriya, did he?" Midoriya shook his head before Kirishima could finish the sentence. "Todoroki isn't sure of his feelings. He told me to leave after I confessed. I'm going to let him have some time to think over everything. I don't think he's ready to be in a relationship, Kirishima." Kirishima placed his hand on Midoriya's shoulder, "That was manly, Midoriya."

The green-haired boy sighed, "I think while Bakugou and Todoroki are out of commission. We can start recruiting new members of the Anarchy." Midoriya left out the part that he was going to search for Shigaraki and Dabi. Kirishima nodded his head, "I'll see what I can do." Midoriya hugged his friend, "Don't worry about Kacchan. He's the toughest pomeranian I know." Kirishima returned the hug, "Thanks, Midoriya." The green-haired felt his phone buzz in his pocket. "I gotta see this," Midoriya pulled away from the phone and glanced at his phone.

Dad: Of course, son. You can come over to the department.

"I have to go see my dad. I'll see you later, Kirishima." Midoriya walked out of the hideout, 'Kirishima, I agree that we shouldn't have secrets. Why can't I tell anyone the truth? I'm running from my past, and my time is running out. Shigaraki was part of the league, which means that dad is alive.' Midoriya strolled down the sidewalk and entered inside the station. He avoided everyone's gazes and found Toshinori looking through is files. "Hey, Dad," Toshinori smiled at his son. "Young Izuku-"

"Dad, do you think he's alive?" Midoriya closed the door behind him to see his father's position straighten up. "What makes you say that, Izuku?" Midoriya clutched his shirt, "Tomura Shigaraki is running his organization! Dad, don't you think that he could have survived?"

"Izuku, are you feeling well?" Midoriya scoffed, "Dad, I'm not joking around. All for-" Toshinori slammed his fist against his desk. "We don't utter that name here! He won't come back for you because you're going to leave Japan!" Midoriya shook his head, "No, I'm staying in Japan. You don't control me anymore. I'm not a child anymore." Toshinori placed the ticket in Midoriya's hands. "I can't risk letting you get hurt, Izuku." 

"I can make my choices," Midoriya didn't understand why his dad was choosing to send him away. "I'm not giving you a choice, Midoriya." Midoriya pushed away, "I DON'T NEED YOU GIVING ME ORDERS! YOU'RE NOT MY FATHER!" Midoriya saw the pain and guilt lace Toshinori's expression. "Dad, I didn't mean that."

"Midoriya, I need you to leave." Midoriya bit his bottom lip, "Dad, let me-" Toshinori cut him off, "You've said it enough, Midoriya. You want to escape your father, but you're acting like him." He opened the door behind Midoriya, "You can leave. I won't stop you." Midoriya walked out of the station with his head down, 'I keep forgetting that I wasn't the only one that lost her. I'm going to find All for one and kill him. First, I need to find Shigaraki.'

Shinsou stood in front of Kaminari's door with his fist raised to the door, 'Will he even respond?' Kaminari avoided him for a month by now, and Hitoshi felt guilty. Hitoshi was busy preparing for his mission. The hardest part was catching one of the members and proving his loyalty. He didn't know how he'll find one of the members since they were secretive. He missed his blond boyfriend and wondered if he could do anything to repair their relationship. He couldn't lose the one he loved just because of his job. Kaminari was worth everything to him. He prepared himself to knock on the door until his phone buzzed.

Toshinori: Young Shinsou, can you please report to the station?

Shinsou sighed, 'I guess I'll come back later, Kaminari.' He turned his back to the door and heard someone talking on the other side. He overheard Kaminari's voice coming from the outside, and it sounded like he wasn't alone. "You need to stop coming in like that. You're going to give me a heart attack," Kaminari joked. Shinsou pressed his ear against the door to catch another voice response. "I need your help with something." Shinsou didn't recognize the voice, but it sounded so familiar. "Sure, what can I do for you?" Kaminari sounded surprisingly cheerful. Shinsou knew his father would hit behind the head for eavesdropping on other's conversations, but his curiosity got the best of him. Shinsou knew all of Kaminari's friends, and none of them matched the person's voice.

"I need you to find a man of the name Tomura Shigaraki and Touya Todoroki." Shinsou recognized one of the names. Touya Todoroki was the eldest son of the Todoroki empire. "Why is the Anarchy interested in them? Isn't Shigaraki a part of the league?" Shinsou covered his mouth to hide his gasp. Kaminari was talking to one of the members from the Anarchy.

The Shadow Killer adjusted his mask to cover his mouth. He abandoned the old look that included his kitsune mask. He couldn't let his past hold him back. The black gloves on Midoriya's hands hid his fingerprints. He was aiming to get back at the league for capturing Todoroki. Kaminari didn't understand why Shadow would return to his apartment complex. Kaminari knew he would get trouble for not reporting him to the police, but he was terrified of betraying the Anarchy.

Kaminari hacked into the security system to find the two men that Shadow described. The Shadow Killer remained quiet during the procedure. Kaminari scanned each footage taken in the last 24 hours to find them. Soon he found a match, "Is this your guy?" Shadow inspected the image, "Yeah, that's him." The Shadow Killer wrote down the last seen address, "You're going to need to erase the evidence." Kaminari understood Shadow's orders, "Good luck finding your person."

"Thank you for your help, Chargebolt."

Bakugou hid his face behind the face mask. He wasn't going to change his costume since Deku beat him to it. He was furious when he saw Todoroki heading towards Inasa's house. 'Damnit, Icy-Hot, you're picking at deep wounds. Inasa isn't going to let you if you go back to him. I hope you make the right choice.' Kirishima was infuriated when he told Kirishima that he's going at this mission alone. He loved Kirishima, but he couldn't let him get hurt. He dyed his hair black for this mission and kept his mask and gun in his bag.  

"Kirishima, I'll be fine. You don't have to worry about anything." Bakugou was on the phone with Kirishima, "Bakugou, you're behaving like a complete idiot! We promised that we wouldn't go off on our own!" Bakugou sighed, "Ei, I'll be fine. I can handle this alone. I'll call you back if I need back-up." He exited the bus and glanced at the street names to figure out where he was going. He noticed a small little girl crying in the corner, "Hey, are you lost?" Bakugou used his kindest voice he could muster up. He wasn't known to be kind and gentle, but he was different when it came to kids. He remembered shitty hair telling him that they could adopt kids. Bakugou couldn't wait to marry the love of his life. 

The little girl looked up at Bakugou, "Please, don't hurt me!" Bakugou saw the fear lacing her red eyes, "Hey, I'm not going to hurt you. Are you hurt?" Bakugou saw the multiple bruises on her body. She looked to be about four. "Please, don't take me back. Mommy and Daddy hurt me!" Bakugou nodded his head, "I won't take you back if you don't want me to. I'm an officer." Bakugou pulled out his badge to show the little girl. She pushed back a strand of her blond hair, "O-okay." Bakugou wiped away the little girl's tears from her red eyes.

"I'll protect you."

Shinsou didn't anything coming from the apartment. He ignored the buzzing phone when he walked out of the building. He wondered if he should report this to Toshinori. He didn't expect someone to grab him and pull him into an alleyway. Shinsou threw the first punch to see the figure catch his fist, "Wrong choice!" The silhouette twisted his arm and threw him to the ground. Shinsou kicked the man off his feet and grabbed the silencer. He pointed the gun at the figure. "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

The figure growled, "No one touches my gun!" He pulled out a dagger from his boot and threw it at Shinsou's hand. The purple-haired boy dropped the gun and gripped his hand. He glanced up to see a fist punching him in the face. It knocked him off his feet. The silhouette picked up the gun from the ground and pointed it at Shinsou. "I'm the Shadow Killer. You are in no position to ask questions. Why were you listening in to my conversation?" Midoriya's green eyes glared down at the boy in front of him.

Shinsou noticed that the boy was short and petit from where he was standing. He remembered how Toshinori warned him about the dangerous ones from the Anarchy. He wasn't to show fear to the guy, "I was walking past when I heard you guys mention a Todoroki. Of course, I was curious." Midoriya growled, "I hate eavesdroppers. I could kill you right now." Shinsou shook his head, "I won't tell anyone if you could do me one thing." Midoriya lowered his gun and gave the purple-haired boy a chance to speak.

"I want to join the Anarchy."
