《Dreamscape (ReaderxMidoriyaxBakugouxTodoroki)》9. Gathering Intel
Advertisement
Shouto, Katsuki and Izuku were hidden in the dark in one of the VIP tables on the top balcony of the club. Fatgum insisted on them dressing for the night, they couldn't dress like normal nineteen-year-olds. They had to look professional. Also, it helped to hide their distinguishable features.
Katsuki was wearing a red suit with a light pink shirt underneath and a red tie, the red matching his crimson eyes. He also wore a white mask. Making sure it covered his whole face so he wouldn't be recognized.
Izuku was wearing a light brown suit, his emerald eyes popping out more and a black dress up shirt underneath. He decided to wear a black mask that covered only half of his upper face. Since he had green hair, the team was afraid someone would recognize him and decided to have him wear a black wig to hide his green locks.
Shouto wore all black except for the salmon shirt underneath. Because he was the number one hero's son, he would be noticed more easily and it was decided he would wear a full mask as well, and a dark brown wig to hide his signature two-toned colored hair.
They were specifically instructed to get into the VIP section to ensure their safety. The team got a tip earlier today of people who went missing were from the lower sections who paid the regular admittance fee.
The admittance fee they were charged before being allowed in, was more than three almost full-on adults could afford. Katsuki didn't say anything. However, his eyes did widen slightly when he saw the fee. Izuku almost wanted to run out in panic as he realized how much it was. Shouto, on the other hand, calmly stopped him by putting his hand on his shoulder and pulled out his own credit card to pay the fee.
He stated Endeavor was 'happy to contribute' to the cause and smiled wickedly as he saw the card being charged for the ridiculous amount. Their attire was paid by Fatgum's agency since it was his mission.
Shouto could request a refund back for what he just paid, but he would rather let the agency know it was a donation.
Being at the club for an hour now, they've been keeping a watch on the young woman who was their target all night. Two of them wanted to desperately go to her and get her out of this mess, while the other one wasn't convinced so easily.
Yes, it was Katsuki's job to save her, but only if she was not truly involved in the crime of the club. It took a lot of will power for the other two to not jump from their seats and over the railing and push everyone trying to get close to her.
Could people not see how uncomfortable she felt when some stranger would walk up to her?
She looked like a bird trapped in a cage, she tried her best to work with what she got, but they could see how miserable she was. This reminded them so much of Eri, they were able to save Eri at a young age. She was still mentally scarred, but she would get better with time. She was in a safer space and has people who cared for her. This person in front of them has been doing this for who knows how long.
How long has she been a captive for? What would they make her do? These questions kept running through their heads.

Katsuki thought she looked sincere, but he never let looks cloud his judgment.
However, there was something about this girl that drew him in like the other two were affected, but he was more skeptical. Katsuki never trusted so easily. He was thrown off how Shouto trusted her right away, he understood Izuku, because it was in Izuku's nature but not in Shouto's. Which only made him that much more suspicious of her.
"Are you sure this is okay Shouto, we shouldn't draw attention to ourselves." Izuku whispered nervously with a beer in his trembling hand. Izuku has never drunk before and the thought of having poison in his hand made him break a sweat.
"This is for the mission Izuku, we have to blend in." Shouto laid back on the leather seat dismissing him with a wave of his hand without a care in the world. Mindlessly circling around the whiskey in his hand.
Shouto's mismatched eyes trailed everything the girl did. Even if it was just a glance towards a direction, he followed it too, and she was glancing a lot at a woman who was not that far from them. He has so many questions for her, questions that'd been burning in him since he met her at the store.
"Tch... Right the 'mission'. Stop lying to yourself icy-hot, we all know you want to get under Endeavor's skin." Katsuki was leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, he also kept his eyes on said girl all night looking for any red flags.
He promised All-Might after all, he would pull Izuku out of trouble if he jumped in. All-Might and Katsuki knew, Izuku was not in a well mental state. Izuku tended to save people without thinking about a plan first, that's why he would always get hurt. It would be worse if his emotions were all over the place. He always thought of the how to do it in the heat of the moment.
Katsuki knew Izuku was smart, and he was a force to be reckoned with. However, the Ochako breakup would be a distraction and it would cloud his judgment. He could make reckless decisions; they could not afford to make for this mission.
There were many servers checking up on them constantly. Some of them were even pushing to bring them the house special drink and since they kept declining, they kept pushing to have them join the VIP dance section. Close to the floor where they noticed a colorful smoke.
This made their suspicions correct when they first saw a light pink smoke come out in the center of the dance floor which somehow resembled Midnight's quirk. There was a slight difference from the smoke machine used to cover it, and it only appeared when their target started to dance.
Noticing how some of the people dancing close to her relaxed and loosened up after a while. These people also were getting closer and closer to her as the night progressed.
Katsuki noticed there was a woman who was escorted out of the club because she began to twitch nervously. It was done very discreetly, but Katsuki noticed and so did Shouto. They gave each other a knowing glance.
No matter what, they could not get close to her if she was letting out that pink smoke.
"Are you sure you don't want to join the dance floor? It'll certainly gather some ladies around you three handsome men." A server wearing a tight bunny outfit asked them innocently. She got close to Izuku and stroked his jaw teasingly with her finger, making the younger man squeak out in a high pitch tone.

"W-we're okay, thank you!" Izuku mumbled shyly while turning away from the server. Clutching on to the beer in his hand for dear life for how flustered he became. He's never been to a club before, and this was giving him a heart attack.
"No." Shouto and Katsuki spoke simultaneously, one of them growling in return. Not paying any mind to the server who was trying her hardest to get their attention.
Shouto was pretending to take a sip of his drink while Katsuki bit out, gritting his teeth. He was close to exploding. He really wished he could explode this whole place down to finish the mission, he hated walking around eggshells to gather intel.
"Hmm, bummer. Well, if you change your minds, we could always give you an extra dose of relaxation." The server winked at them and sauntered away making sure to sway her hips on her way.
"I'm impressed they haven't questioned our age." Shouto pointed out, while he took a whiff of the drink and his face scrunched from the strong odor. He didn't understand how his father could drink something so bitter.
Katsuki looked over at Shouto and rolled his eyes. "With the money you've been spending, it doesn't matter to them."
Izuku looked over to the girl whose been on his mind since he met her and sighed heavily.
She's been smiling all night, pretending she was having the time of her life. However, Izuku knew better, behind the forced smile she was suffering. He could easily tell with the different songs playing. Some of them she danced to, while others she mouthed and song some of the lyrics to.
The ones she would sing along with, were the ones with a hidden meaning behind them. The one she was singing right along with right now was "Wolves" by Selena Gomez and Marshmallow.
Izuku could see the pain in her eyes. She tried to force it down, still he saw right through it. He's seen that look before. In Eri, Katsuki and even All-Might. But most of all, he saw the same pain in his own reflection in a mirror.
He always did try to hide his own pain through smiling, and no one noticed. No one ever asked if he was okay.
Did anyone ever ask her?
Katsuki glancing over at Izuku, sighed. For someone who just went through a break-up, the best way Izuku could cope was to worry about others instead of himself. He always did that, put others before his own wellbeing. A quality Katsuki equally admired and hated about the green haired young man.
"Damn Deku, don't get any ideas, you know you can't."
Izuku's forest eyes connected with his childhood friend's crimson ones and nodded solemnly. "I know Kacchan... I can't help it. I want to help..."
"I can't have you distracted because of round cheeks." Katsuki angrily bit out to him. He wished; he could shake him to death to have him move on.
"Don't patronize him, Katsuki. It happened yesterday. They were together for a long time..." Shouto calmly tried to reason with the explosive blond.
Katsuki pulled his mask up and pointed angrily at the aloof man. "I wasn't asking for your opinion. The stupid nerd needs to move on. Her being scared is not a good reason to end things...
"Wait, how to do you know that Kacchan? I didn't tell anyone." Izuku cut him off confused and a little angry for what this meant.
What happened between him and Ochako was private, so how did he know?
He didn't say anything to Shouto or Tenya when they asked. He only let them know they broke-up. He didn't even tell All-Might when he talked to him about it, and he always told him everything.
Did Ochako by chance tell Mina who then told Katsuki.
It wouldn't be crazy to think that. Izuku did go to Mina to ask for her help, however, he didn't think Ochako would say the details of their breakup. He already felt like a failure for not being good enough for her, now could all of 3-A know the same thing.
It made him feel worthless in a way, and betrayed. It wasn't a big issue, but his self-esteem and self-worth felt shattered because he wasn't enough for her to stay. Would everyone think the same of him now.
That he was not good enough for anything?
It was natural if she wanted to talk about her problems to her friends, he couldn't blame her for it. However, now Katsuki knew. And Katsuki always made fun of him. He felt a small spark of anxiety ignite when he thought about Katsuki making fun of him all over again, like when they were younger.
Izuku was bullied for most of his life when they were younger by Katsuki. Would he use this as ammo to go another round with him?
Sure, him and Katsuki were in a better place in their friendship, and though the blond would still tease him it wouldn't be brutal or demeaning like it used to be. Surely, he wouldn't try to harm him again, right?
Izuku suddenly started to feel smaller, the large room closing in on him. The music sounding muffled.
Katsuki noticed the change in Izuku, he told him something, but to Izuku it sounded like he was underwater.
The green haired man was hyperventilating. Katsuki didn't know it, but his constant teasing and bullying when they were younger scarred Izuku mentally even if he forgave him.
Izuku did get over it and started a clean slate with him. Being with Ochako helped a lot, but now it seemed like it was all a lie.
I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough, I'm not good enough...
Izuku couldn't stop those words from clouding his mind, the words only getting louder and louder. His hands started to shake violently as he harshly bit his bottom lip, drawing out blood.
Katsuki tried to reach over to Izuku only to have him smack his hand away, surprising him. "What the hell's the matter with..."
However, Katsuki was interrupted by Shouto's strangled voice. "Shit..."
He whispered tensely, earning the others attention. They all quickly got up and looked down over the railing towards the dance floor. Once they saw what was happening one of them walked away quickly to go downstairs, while the other two almost shouted at him to stop.
If he got caught, the mission would be over...
