~HAPPY HALLOWEEN ~

"Is this all of us?" Kaminari stood outside class 1-A's dorm wearing a knee length black cloak with the hood hanging low over his face.

"The fuck are you wearing?" Katsuki scowled, standing in his slippers with his hands in short pockets. He looked the least alarmed amongst the small group of students that had come to meet their electrical classmate so late in the evening. Uraraka and Midoriya stood on either side of him in sneakers, plain t-shirts and basketball shorts.

"Way to get into character dude!" Kirishima laughed in appraisal smacking a firm palm to Denki's shoulder.

"Yeah, I dig it! Puts me in the mood for spooks." Mina smiled, wiggling her fingers creepily.

Denki smirked with a nod before clearing his throat. "FOOLS!" He barked, sending a jump through his classmates. "All who stand here this night, value NOT their own lives! Ahead of you lies PERIL and misfortune. If you wish to turn back, now is your only chaaa~nce."

Mina clapped her hands in excitement and Kirishima matched her enthusiasm.

"Guys are we sure about this? I mean, I really don't think we're allowed to walk around after dark." Midoriya fretted, worry sitting along his brow.

"Sure, we're sure!" Uraraka chimed, hands balled into competitive fists. "It's Halloween! We can't do NOTHING!"

"And it looks like Kaminari is totally in the spirit." Mina laughed, as her cloaked friend picked up the lantern at his feet and charged it with his quirk.

"I mean, we don't have to do nothing! There are horror marathons on right now and I'm sure Sato has plenty of candy he's willing to—"

"Can it, Crybaby Deku!!!" Bakugo ordered, kicking at the back of the freckled boy's knees, causing him to wobble. "If you're too chicken-shit to do this, then go the hell back inside and quit holding us up!"

"He's coming!" Uraraka reassured with conviction before turning to face the green boy. "You are coming, right?"

Deku reddened and faltered at the invested girl. He sighed. "Yeaaah…"

"Great! Let's do this! Lead the way Kaminari!" The short girl pointed onward.

The self-proclaimed "quest-master" nodded sternly before turning on his heel and leading the group toward the main school grounds.

"Legend has it," the cloaked boy began. "A spirit haunts the halls of the main building."

"Here we go." Mina chuckled.

"No one is sure how this poor soul died on campus, only that she was indeed a student. A student that wanted to become a hero someday, much like you and I. Her name was Sunny."

"Oh, I've heard this one! The good ghost of U.A Uraraka chimed.

"Indeed. Sunny is known more for her deeds in the after life than her deeds in the living world. She's been known to assist students around the building in mysterious ways, longing to fulfill the hero role she'd aspired for all her life. One student even claims she walked him to class when he was lost as a 1st-yr. He thanked her, but turned around and she was gone."

"At least she's friendly." Midoriya added.

"You believe in ghosts, Deku?" Uraraka questioned, interested. The green haired boy beside her smiled but shook his head.

"No I don't. But it's nice to imagine that if there were one, it'd want to be a hero."

"I'm sad more peeps didn't come out." Mina commented on the small number of classmates that chose to participate in the after-hours expedition.

"This is almost everyone I expected to show up...although I'm surprised Bakugo bothered with us." Uraraka cast a questioning glance toward the brooding teen.

"That's because I told him it was a test of manly courage!" Kirishima added.

"You mean you said he was a wuss if he didn't do it." Mina corrected.

"Same thing." The red head laughed.

"I'll kill you both." Katsuki disclosed calmly.

"AND WE'RE HERE!" Their guide suddenly shouted. Gesturing his hand upward to their towering school building. It loomed over them, dark and devoid of life. Without the hustle and bustle of thousands of people moving within, the glass structure stood with and intimidating and unwelcoming air. "As said before, the rules of your trial are simple. Enter the front of the building and go up one floor. Walk to the back of the building and come down the stairs to exit into the courtyard. You make it out without needing to be saved, you pass."

"In, up, down and out. Got it." Uraraka punched her fists together in a readying pose. "Let's do this."

"Me first!!" Mina raised her hand quickly, volunteering. "Anyone who doesn't pass has to help clean up, right?"

Denki snickered with a nod. "I was hoping you'd want to go first, my foolish pink friend." He handed a walkie talkie to Midoriya. "Mina will go first. You each have five minutes. If someone doesn't make it out before then, I'll radio you guys to send the next contestant in. I'll be waiting in the courtyard for you guys to finish."

With that, their cloaked guide jogged into the building.

Mina bounced on the balls of her feet, her wild hair bouncing with her. I'll be through this in a heartbeat so you guys figure out who's going next!"

"Me." Katsuki asserted. "I'm not standing out here all fucking night so hurry up."

"You can go after him if you'd like, Kirishima." Uraraka offered. "I'll wait out here with Deku."

There was an audible pop from Midoriya's hand as his radio buzzed to life. "Alright my arrogant mortals, all is in place!" Denki spoke over the walkie. He tried to maintain his spooky persona but there was an obvious giddiness in his tone. "Send the first sacrifice inside! Remember, NO QUIRKS OR YOU'RE DISQUALIFIED!"

"Alright guys here I go!" Mina trotted into the building, disappearing through the dark entrance.

"There she goes." Kirishima rocked on his heels.

"I hope she'll be okay." Deku scratched the back of his head.

"I'm sure it won't be too bad." The sole girl standing reassured. "It can't be worse than the haunted house we did with class 1-B at summer camp."

"Yeah, Mina and I missed out on that one! I hope this makes up for that, but I wonder how much Kaminari was actually able to do alone." Kirishima commented.

Katsuki plopped down on the side of the quiet fountain that sat behind them. "That idiot is probably in there making stupid sounds and flickering the lights.

"Oh don't be-"

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAK!!!!" A shrill scream pierced through the quiet night, sending a shiver through the waiting students. They all turned to the building, but there was no movement.

"Th-that was Mina." Kirishima confirmed.

Another static pop came through Midoriya's radio.

"Ah, it seems our enthusiastic Ashido's soul has been lost. She's failed the test. Who will be our dearly departed's predecessor?"

"Out of the way Nerd!" Bakugo shoved by Midoriya, marching toward the building.

"Uh, Kaa-Chan is up next." Deku spoke into the radio.

"Perrrrrrrrfect." Was the whispered response.

"Here I come! You better be ready for me, Kaminari!" Katsuki shouted, swinging the door open with a flat footed kick. He shoved his hands into his pockets and disappeared into the building.

"Well knowing him, this won't take long so I might as well get re-"

BOOOOM!!!

"K-Kaachan!!" Deku exclaimed.

"Didn't Denki say no quirks?!" Kirishima questioned with an apprehensive expression. "Did something happen?"

Midoriya pulled the radio close to his mouth and the others huddled around him. "Kaminari! Is every thing okay?"

There was a reply of crackles and broken sentences. "Psychopath- shhhhhhhkkkkkkkrrrrr- so freakin' caught-shhhhhrrrrkkkkkkk"

Kirishima swore under his breath before taking off in a sprint toward the building.

"Eijiro wait!" Uraraka called reaching out to grab the redhead but missing by a long shot.

"Hello? Hello? Midoriya are you there?" Kaminari's voice came through clearly.

"Hey! We're here!" Deku answered quickly.

"What's happening!? Kirishima just ran inside!" Uraraka added.

"What? Ahhhh, ummmm...Ok. Okay that's fine. You guys stay there till it's your turn!" The quest master disconnected.

"What? Is everything alright?" Midoriya asked. No answer returned. The remaining boy and girl looked at each other with concern.

"He said stay, but...should we go check anyway?" Deku suggested.

Uraraka looked apprehensively at the doorway her friends had disappeared through. "I mean...I don't know. I think he would have asked for help if they really needed it." She frowned, hoping she wasn't wrong.

"Think it's all part of the scare?" Midoriya thought aloud.

His classmate gave a halfhearted chuckle. "That'd be really creative, but I doubt it. I'm sure the teachers heard the ruckus."

Midoriya winced. Their class wasn't really in a position to gain any more demerits.

"Alright, you guys can come! Hurry up, though!" Kaminari's voice suddenly broke through the radio static.

Plural?

"Both of us?" Deku questioned back.

"Yes! Come on!" Was the rushed response.

The two students exchanged looks before breaking into a jog.

/.../

"It's so dark…" Ochacco commented upon entering the building. The school lobby sat large and empty, only partially illuminated by the ceiling high glass windows that let in the scarce moonlight. "He said: go in, up, down, out. Right?"

Deku gave her a stern nod.

They headed through the main lobby quietly, finding their way to the steps. Their footsteps were the only sound echoing off the walls. The duo slowed upon reaching the top floor. It was substantially darker.

"Alright. The steps to the court yard are at the rear of the building. Let's head there... Deku?" Uraraka turned to see the green haired boy trembling behind her with his hands clasped together. He looked pensively around them. "Deku!?"

"Ah! I mean yes?" He jumped.

"Are you scared already?" She asked incredulously. She knew her powerful friend had a nack for being an occasional crybaby, but she would've never pegged him as a scary cat.

"Pshhh. No, I'm not scared." He lied. If it were anyone else, he probably would've been achingly honest. Ochacco however, always seemed to bring out the testosterone based urge to appear, at the least, stable. "I'm just focused. "

There was a quick shuffle from down the hall.

The color drained from freckled cheeks.

"What was that?" The braver one asked.

There were more shuffles from down the hall. The light disappeared completely toward the back of the building.

Uraraka put a hand on the wall to feel her way. "Let's go." She walked at a steady pace with the obviously uncomfortable boy on her heels.

The dim light from the large windows got further and further behind them until they were completely engulfed in the dark.

"Oh gross, I touched something sticky." Ochocco whispered, stopping abruptly. Midoriya ran blindly into the back of her, hitting their heads together with an audible smack.

"Ahk!"

"Ow!"

"Mmmmmppph!!" A third voice added. The two froze.

The third voice however persisted. Groans and grunts trailed from the back of the dark hall. The square shaped building turned at a ninety degree angle just ahead of them. Something unfriendly was right around the corner. "MRRRRRRRRH!"

"W-w-w-What the heck is that!" Midoriya jumped to his feet.

"I don't- ugh. What the heck? I'm stuck!" His partner responded?

"What? Stuck where? How?" Deku panicked reaching around in the dark. "Found you!"

Ochocco pursed her lips together, understanding that it was far too dark for her friend to see where he was touching. "Midoriya...please move your hand up to my shoulder."

"Huh? What's this, your cheek?...IAMSOSORRYOCHACCOIDIDNTMEANTO! OHFORTHELOVEOFALMIGHT-"

"ITS FINE JUST LET GO!!" Uraraka assertively dismissed, grateful for the darkness that hid her reddening face.

There was a cough near by and both teens went frigid, listening to the dark. There was the not-so-far-off grunts from whatever was waiting around the corner, but the cough had sounded much closer.

"He-hello?" The curly haired boy squeezed.

Something bumped against his foot and he screamed. Uraraka screamed as well.

"What!? What is it Deku!?"

"Something touched-ouuf!" Midoriya had taken a step back from the wall, heart racing for multiple reasons, but whatever had bumped his sneaker had rolled under his foot. He fell flatly to the floor. He groaned, feeling around for what he tripped over before finding the inconveniently placed cylinder. "Ah! It's a flashlight!"

Maybe it wasn't so inconvenient.

Midoriya hit the switch on the light and climbed up from the floor.

"Oh. Wow. Kaminari really took this seriously." Uraraka gawked at what was revealed. The end of the hallway looked like a spider's nest. From floor to ceiling, a sticky white film laced patterns across the walls. Uraraka herself, stood with half her body pressed into a web of sticky mess. Deku walked over to her, flashlight in his teeth, and pulled her free arm until she ripped free of her bond.

"Jeeze. Thanks."

"Hurry up! You guys are taking way too long." Kaminari's voice crackled from the radio that slid across the floor in the commotion. "Pick up any stragglers you find or, uh...or they'll be doomed for eternity!" He improvised poorly.

"Stragglers? What does that mean?" Midoriya squeaked, letting his imagination pump the words into something minacing.

"I don't know but we're running out of time. Let's go." Uraraka gripped Midoriya's wrist and trudged them both down the hallway. She could still feel the boy's gentle hand on her "cheek" and it made her skin hot. It was time to quickly find something else to focus on.

It didn't take long.

As soon as the duo rounded the corner, the came to a sudden stop, with the green haired boy running into the back of her once more. This time she didn't respond, shining the flashlight. Midoriya rubbed at his battered nose, and glanced down at a small cold hand that suddenly latched onto his. "U-Urara-" He stopped when what had frozen his partner in her tracks finally grabbed his attention.

A mummy.

Life size and squirming, hanging upside down from the ceiling with two glaring red eyes leering out from between layers of wrappings. It growled at them, echoing a muffled anger down the empty halls. It was the noise they had been hearing all along.

"I don't like worms." Uraraka muttered quickly in a panicked tone, unknowingly squeezing hard at the taller boy's hand.

"Worm?...oh because of the wriggling?" Deku figured, the sheer will to help his scared classmate solely keeping him from erupting into a bashful mess.

This worm comment seemed to infuriate the mummy, who in return muffled in increased volume and bucked wildly, sending itself swinging and wiggling further. With llimbs bound closely together and nothing of the thing inside being visible through the thick layers of wraps, it did almost appear to be a worm stuck in a spiders web.

Uraraka dry-heaved, looking green and leaning behind her partner to work through her shivers. Midoriya squinted, tilting his head at the monster. The groans and grunts made his ears ring with a startlingly familiar feeling. "It's so real looking…" The undertones were catching his ear, sounding almost like speech.

And the eyes...They were familiar, as if the words FUCKING DEKU! were written across the irises.

"Kaachan?" Midoriya gawked.

"What? Bakugo?" Uraraka jumped, suddenly letting go of a warm and very scarred hand. She took a moment before walking to stand in front of the mummified boy. She inspected for a moment, before pointing and laughing.

The mummy squirmed in anger. She gagged.

"Don't worry Kaachan! I'll cut you down!" Midoriya reassured, scanning for something to combat the sticky web.

Katsuki's anger intensified.

"It'll probably be easier if I do it." The girl offered, motivated to release the squirming teen from his hold and spare her stomach. She pressed her fingertips together before floating quietly to the ceiling. "Might wanna catch him." She offered before giving a strong tug to the band of tape securing Bakugo's place in the air.

"Ah!" Midoriya lunged forward to catch the suddenly free falling boy. Bakugo landed in his arms with a heavy thud. "Gotcha!" He smiled reassuringly to the blonde.

The murderous intent on his face was otherworldly.

Deku chuckled nervously. Holding the taller boy like an infant any longer than necessary certainly wasn't going to earn him any points. "Uhhhm, I'll get you out right away!" He peeled the sticky boy away from himself and grabbed a broom from the nearby janitors closet. Using his hands on the strong adhesive wasn't going to get them anywhere fast.

"Wait" Uraraka put a hand between the broom and the immobile boy. "We're in hot water because you used your noisy heck'n quirk! Promise you won't blow anything up when we untie you."

"Uraraka!?" Deku exclaimed, holding the broom with an aghast expression. He looked from the round faced girl back to the scowling cocoon.

Was she really ballsy enough to give him an ultimatum?

Katsuki glared daggers at the girl. She knew he would go berserk the moment he was free.

"Promise now or I'll make you float and leave you sticking to the ceiling!" She demanded.

Midoriya squeaked in disbelief.

Bakugo stared at the girl. Stared into her soul and saw that she meant every word. He gave one jerked nod.

"Okay, untie him."

Midoriya gave a wary look and began poking at the entrapped boy with the broom handle. Oochacco snickered and poorly hid it beneath a cough. Bakugo quietly watched through expressive eyes as Midoriya poked and prodded him until it was made apparent that a broom was clearly not what the situation called for.

"Maybe there's something else-" Uraraka began, but stopped mid sentence as something clattered down the hall.

Midoriya quickly shined the light in the direction, skittering the beam along the walls. "What was that?" There was a ruffling noise untill something shiny was suddenly slid across the floor in their direction.

"Eeeek!"

"Who's there?!"

"Mmmrrph!!!!!!!"

No one answered. Deku shined the light at the shining object at his feet. "Scissors!"

"Oh! So we have a helper! Thankyou Sunny!!" Oochacco called into the dark.

Midoriya paled at the notion of a ghost helping them out. "S-s-sunny isn't real Uraraka."

"Well of course not." She answered, picking up the scissors. Bakugo watched through narrow slits as she cut until he was mobile enough to pull himself free. "It's just a nice touch, don't you think? Denki did a great job so far."

The liberated blonde stood quietly from the floor and spun quickly to face the savior duo. Midoriya flinched with a squeak, holding the broom rigidly straight. Ochaco raised a brow.

"Round-face saved your ass, useless pervert Deku." Katsuki stated bluntly before turning down the hall, intending to be a man of his word.

He probably didn't realize it, since the jab had only been intended for one, but that sentence had dealt a crippling blow to both bystanders.

He heard. Midoriya and Ochocco thought in unison.

The trio walked down the length of the dark back hall, Bakugo taking the front despite not having the flashlight. In a few quiet moments, they approached the staircase that led down to the courtyard.

"Wait! Don't go down the stairs!!!" A voice suddenly called from the dark!

Uraraka spun in a circle and Midoriya followed with the light. "That sounded like Mina!"

"The fuck?" Katsuki interjected, looking to the tops of the lockers above them.

Midoriya quickly shone the light in that direction to illuminate a cowering Aishido. The pink girl squatted very much like a startled cat atop the hall lockers looking down onto the others with wide eyes.

"Look down the stairs! Watch your feet!" She warned, pointing down to the ground she was obviously avoiding.

The trio immediately looked down to see a handful of quiet creatures crawling about. Further down the steps, there were so many of them that the floor was barely visible.

"Snakes!?" Midoriya shouted, feeling his skin crawl from the sheer amount of slithering reptiles before him.

"I hate woooooooorms!!!!" Oochacco screeched, her voice hitting an involuntary pitch as she immediately made herself float high off the ground away from the possibility of some legless crawler getting near her. It was blatantly obvious that worms weren't what they were dealing with here, but in her panicked state, she was sure the others got the point.

"Why didn't you say something before we got so close!" The floating girl shouted to her pink classmate.

"I wasn't sure if you guys were in on it!" Mina whined, scared tears rimming her eyes. She was obviously terrified, but too much of a humanitarian to use her quirk on the unsuspecting snakes that definitely didn't ask to be there.

Katsuki scoffed. "I'll just blast em all to jelly."

"No explosions, piñata boy!" Uraraka rejected.

"Fuck did you call me!?"

"Can we please focus on the task at hand!" Mina cried, tired of crouching atop the metal lockers.

"Look, they're leaving!" Midoriya observed, drawing the others' attention. The snakes were indeed departing down the handicap ramp that lead to the courtyard. It was almost organized, the way they seemed to quickly evacuate the building.

Mina dangled one leg from the locker, prepping herself for the short drop. "Are they all gone?"

"Looks like it." Midoriya answered with a bewildered nod as he walked to the stairs, shining their sole beam of light across the floor.

"Ugh. What happened?" The Uraraka answered, floating slowly and pensively back to the ground.

"They knew what was best for 'em." Katsuki answered with a scoff and began descending the stairs.

Mina and Ochocco exchanged looks, but chose not to comment.

"Anyone seen Eijiro?" Mina pitched, as they walked in a hushed pace.

"No we haven't run into him. Only you and Kaachan." Deku informed.

Uraraka frowned. "He ran in after you guys. I assumed he'd be with at least one of you."

"He needs help. Go downstairs." An unfamiliar voice answered.

The small quad of students stopped, hair standing on the back of their necks.

"Which one of you fucking said that?" Bakugo barked at the girls.

"I didn't!" They answered in unison.

"I-it has to be a trick." Midoriya rationalized.

"I don't care anymore, I'm so done with this. I didn't think it'd be actually scary!" Mina announced, walking ahead of the group. The remaining trio followed suit down to the main floor. "There's the back door!" She exclaimed, seeing the red exit sign in the distance.

"Great let's get out of here."

They walked toward the back door, until it was close enough for the light to reach. It wasn't vacant.

"Kirishima!" Uraraka exclaimed, upon seeing the easily identifiable back of her classmate's head.

Mina gasped and then exhaled in relief. "Jeeze dude, you scared me."

"How did you beat us here idiot?" Katsuki called, approaching the red head. He paused in his step once noticing his friend didn't answer. He hadn't responded to any of them, instead choosing to stand silently and motionless with his back toward them.

"Kirishima?" Midoriya called warily to the boy who stood facing the exit. "Are you okay?"

The red head twitched in response but didn't turn around.

"Yo! You were in on this the whole time!" Katsuki immediately accused, storming over to the silent boy who was doing a terrible job at scaring anyone, in the blonde's opinion. He put a hand on the boy's shoulder, realizing he was muttering something under his breath. He spun him around and took a step back.

The others gasped.

Their friend stood with wide colorless fish eyes, as if he'd been dead for days. "You didn't thank her. You didn't thank her." He muttered repeatedly under his breath, lips moving in tiny quick movements as if whispering a secret.

"What the…" Katsuki reeled.

All the color visibly drained from Mina's face, which was a feat considering she was naturally pink, and for a moment she looked as if she were going to faint.

"Thank her? Who? Is it a riddle?" Uraraka questioned shakily, holding firmly onto the knowledge that everything she experienced was part of a plot to scare her.

"Thank her. Thank her. THANK HER. THANK HER!" Kirishima's body tensed as his voice rose in volume. "THANK HER OR SHE'LL NEVER LET YOU GO!"

"Her? Sunny? Do we just say Thankyou to the air?" Midoriya prattled to himself while the red head shouted, blocking the exit. Mina leaned against him woozily, clearly overwhelmed.

"I'm just going to knock him out." Katsuki informed, rolling his shoulder.

Suddenly Kirishima stopped yelling, and lifted a finger. He pointed straight ahead.

Midoriya blinked and pointed to himself. "Me?"

"She's here." He whispered.

The spooked students whipped their heads around so quickly, they only caught a glimpse of the horrified Eijiro sprinting out the door.

A lone blanket stood in the hall, a tall figure standing beneath.

"Really? A sheet?" Bakugo dismissed.

On that note, the blanket fell away, revealing nothing underneath.

The courtyard door burst open as four horrified bodies scrambled through it at the same time. There was no stopping upon exit. They successfully ran in perfect form all the way back to the dorm.

"So." Kaminari's sat with a smug expression on the steps of class 1-A's dorm.

"What. The. Fuck." Bakugo approached the electric boy. "You said you'd be in the courtyard!"

"What did you do to Eijiro!" Mina cried.

"Explain, everything! There's no way you did all that alone." Uraraka spoke in a winded voice as she leaned onto her knees to catch her breath. Midoriya lay on his back in the grass beside her, still visibly scared.

"Well, I ended up getting spooked myself, so I did totally bail on you guises. Buuut, You're right! I had plenty of help." The quest master laughed. Seto and Koda emerged from inside the building, along with the floating pajamas of Toru."I introduce you to our spider king, snake master and Sunny, herself."

Midoriya sat up half way in the damp lawn. "You guys! Wow, you all used your quirks!" He enthused, the new found energy of realization and understanding, dawning him. A horror attraction made entirely of applied quirks. "That's so interesting and innovative. Kaminari always chooses to be one of the more laid back students, but he has a tendency to be impressive when it comes to applying knowledge and creativity making me think he's probably one of the smarter kids in our class. To use seto's tape in intricate patterns to immediately make our mind think of spiders instead of recognizing it as his quirk was good foresight. Then convincing Koda to help, who's usually passive but Denki had to know that his quirk was a perfect weakness for the girls. All the while, Toru follows us around speaking to us, giving us hints and items we need to proceed. The thought behind-"

"And there he goes." Uraraka sighed a laugh, standing from her hunched position and taking one calming breath.

"He sure bounces back quickly." Seto remarked. "A lot better than Denki did. He ditched us all and ran back here. This guy totally believes in ghosts."

"Absolutely." The hooded blonde answered. "I heard voices the entire time I was setting up!"

"I'm sorry." Koda whispered. "I didn't want to help, but Kaminari was going to use the snakes with or without me and I didn't want to see anyone get hurt."

Denki rolled his eyes. "He made them all leave as soon as Bakugo threatened to kill them all."

"But what about Eijiro!? Where is he?" Mina questioned, still with worry.

"Yo, guys."

Startled, the winded students turned to see their last participant approaching with an apologetic wave. Beside him, another familiar face approached.

"Hitoshi!" Midoriya called surprised, climbing to his feet.

"Hey." The purple haired student offered simply.

"How the heck did you even get this guy in on it?" Kirishima sighed.

Denki shrugged. "It was actually pretty easy."

"I saw a chance to mess with the hero-course, and I took it." Shinso disclosed, matter-of-factly.

"You really were in on it!" Mina accused her classmate with a betrayed pouted lip.

"No! Really I wasn't!" The previously possessed boy pleaded.

"No. He wasn't." Midoriya agreed, suddenly realizing what had really happened to the RedRiot.

Bakugo did as well. "You got caught by mind-control freak and used as a dummy to scare these twits. Weak."

"You were pretty scared too, Kaachan." Midoriya mumbled.

Kirishima laughed apologetically. "Yeah, so I was told. Sorry guys. I guess rushing in to save everyone ended up being counter productive."

"You should've seen everyone's faces when you pointed to me under the sheet!" Toru laughed bouncily, obviously pleased with her voluntary role in the plot. "Oh, but there's something you said, Midoriya. I never talked to you guys. Denki told me to be quiet and mysterious."

"Oh, he means on the stairwell after the snakes." Mina answered.

"Yeah you told us to save Kirishima." Uraraka added.

Toru stood quietly, seeming to fidget with her shirt. The end of it twisted and untwisted. "I didn't follow you guys into the stairwell." She informed.

The group of students all looked between each other, waiting for someone to explain, but no one took claim. Even Hitoshi denied using his voice changer.

"So who the hell spoke to us." Katsuki flatly broke the silence.

"I did." Nobody answered. The night air grew cold.

They all ran inside.
