(Slight Spoilers ahead. I just had to use this GIF, it went perfect with this chapter (/>.

Izuku, Shouto and Katsuki were waiting outside the club in a black van. Sitting on the bench attached to the walls. They could hear commotion from outside, they were itching to join the fight. Though, they waited patiently for their turn. Waiting for the signal to be given, for them to infiltrate the underground. They were all dressed in their black hero attire. They're supposed to go in once Hitoshi got information on how to go underground.

Katsuki with his head down by his knees was trying to stay calm. He really did hate waiting to kick ass. Izuku was shaking his foot nervously, nibbling on his bottom lip as he thought of every possible scenario that could go wrong. All while Shouto leaned back against the wall, letting his head fall backward, staring at the headliner of the van, trying to calm his erratic heart down.

Izuku thought of the last time he had to do a rescue like this. Sir Nighteye, his previous mentor, was with them throughout the whole mission in rescuing Eri. Then gone by the next day. He prayed nothing like that day would happen to his friends.

When his legs started to bounce up and down because of his anxiety, he closed his eyes trying to calm down. His legs stopped bouncing abruptly when he felt two different hands on each knee. He looked down at Katsuki and Shouto's hands that left his knees once he calmed down.

"Sorry." He mumbled sheepishly at his comrades.

"I still don't understand how you get this nervous after countless of missions we've done together." Katsuki looked up at Izuku smugly.

Shouto scoffed earning a scowl from the blond.

"Do you have something to say Icy Hot?" Katsuki threaten Shouto, who still had his eyes closed.

"Not like you're any better. I can see your sweat all the way from over here." Shouto replied with a smirk. "I also smell caramel. You must be really nervous, if your sweat overpowers the cologne, you put on to hide it."

Katsuki brought his left hand up, emitting a few sparks from his quirk, ready for a fight. Challenging to throw an explosion at the calm mismatched eyed male, who hasn't batted an eye at him or his threats.

Katsuki was also trying to hide the small tint of pink from his cheeks with his right hand by covering his face. Embarrassed of someone knowing what he really smelled like, underneath the musk woodsy scent he sprayed over himself to cover it.

"And how do you know this?" Katsuki narrowed his eyes at Shouto.

Shouto shrugged lazily, "I'm an observant person. I've also known and worked close with you for three years, so there's that."

"Guys this is not the right time to get distracted." Izuku tried to calm Katsuki, who was trying to push him out of the way to get to Shouto.

Shouto without a care, smirked at riling up the blond. Izuku and Katsuki would always argue, however, that didn't mean Shouto wouldn't take a jab at the angry blond just for the fun of it. It amused him how easy he could get under his skin. He would normally like to stay in the background and step in whenever he saw an opportunity.

His bluntness never helped in tense situations. Shouto would always tell it like it is. Katsuki knew how-to restrain himself. He didn't lack social skills, but not Shouto.

His social skills have been getting better ever since he's been friends with Izuku and Tenya. He even considers Katsuki as a close friend. Even though the blond always yells at him to take it back because he refuses to see him as a friend too.

Deep down, Shouto knows he does.

He looked to his left and saw Izuku trying to hold Katsuki back. This only irritated the blond more, and he started wrestling Izuku to the ground of the small van. Izuku was trying hard not to laugh at Katsuki because of how riled up he got. That seemed to piss him off Katsuki even more. He was about to use one of his explosions when they got interrupted by a stern voice in their ear.

"Can you please stop goofing off. We can see the van moving all the way from over here. You are supposed to stay quiet until we give you the signal! Not attract attention to yourselves!"

Shouto removed the earpiece communication device he was wearing and held it away from his ear, as an upset Tenya went over the proper protocol for a stealth mission. Katsuki got off from Izuku and turned off the earpiece while rolling his eyes. Tenya must have been talking specifically to Katsuki because he heard Tenya give a dramatic sigh on Izuku's and Shouto's earpiece.

"He turned off his comm didn't he?"

They could hear a quick rush of wind going in and out of the comm, assuming Tenya was swinging his hand up and down. The sound was soon cut off by a groggy tired voice.

"Iida, stop swinging your arms like a crazy maniac." Tenya looked over at Hitoshi with a comical expression. "Bakugou stop trying to kill Midoriya, you can do that later. Todoroki I'm ready for you. We're going down now to find the little boy. I've sent you all a digital copy of the underground..."

As he said this, they all looked down at their digital watch and saw what looked like a blueprint of the underground location.

"Everyone was able to restrain the people from the first floor with only a couple of civilians resisting. Now we're ready to go in. Midoriya, Bakugou... we have been unable to locate the boss, Y/n, and her sister... Some of the girls were upstairs, they mentioned there is seven more that are located underground. Bakugou make sure you get them all, Y/n's sister included."

Hitoshi sighed deeply remembering to stay calm, they were going to win today. No doubt about it.

"Midoriya... we're all counting on you. Be careful, you know what needs to be done."

After he stopped talking, Hitoshi's voice was drowned out by the erratic heartbeats of the three males in the van.

Izuku still laying on the floor of the van.

I can't fail, he thought. His forest green eyes sparked with electricity. Illuminating them, as he felt his quirk surge from the depths of his soul. I'm going to save her...

Shouto and Katsuki extended their hands to bring Izuku up. They gave each other a nod once Izuku was on his feet.

Katsuki gave his two comrades a smirk. "See you two losers at the end of the tunnel. I'm going to come out first!" He gripped his fist in determination.

Izuku gave Katsuki an amused smile, shaking his head at his crazy antics. He always turned everything into a competition. Katsuki opened the door to the black van and was about to jump out, when he was stopped by Shouto raising his hand to grab his and Izuku's attention.

Izuku turned towards Shouto and laughed softly at the hand he had raised, ready for a question. "What is it Shouto?"

"What tunnel? Did I miss something important from the mission?" Shouto asked confused as he tilted his head to the side like a lost puppy.

Katsuki's eye twitched in irritation. Izuku palmed his forehead and smiled in disbelief. It was easy to forget how literally Shouto could take anything said to him at times.

"That's...how do you?... HOW CAN YOU BE SO CLUELESS AND OBSERVANT AT THE SAME TIME!?" Katsuki growled irritated at a still confused Shouto.

"Did I say something wrong?" Shouto turned to Izuku for clarification.

Izuku patted his friends back gently. Closing his eyes, he smiled brightly at his best friend. "Don't worry about it, Shouto. I'll explain it once we're done with the mission."

Shouto's expression changed from confusion to determination in a second, understanding his work on social skills had to wait until they were done. After that awkward exchange the three third years jumped from the black van that was once occupied by all their peers.

They were the last ones to join the mission. One by one their classmates left to do their part until they were the only ones left.

Once they were outside, they were surrounded by darkness and a cold chill their costumes were specially made to cover. The three of them decided to wear their black stealth costumes they got from one of their missions on their first year, with a hint of their accented colors. Green for Izuku, orange for Katsuki and grey for Shouto.

The three of them ran over to where Hitoshi and Tenya were waiting for them at the front of the club.

"Took you three princesses long enough." Hitoshi grunted annoyingly.

Katsuki and Shouto were about to respond back with their own snarky comments, however, stopped when Izuku sent a glare in their direction. One of them averted his eyes, while the other rolled his.

Tenya and Hitoshi took them inside the building. They quickly noticed the chaos created as people tried to escape. Hitoshi made it sound like the mission went smoothly but looking over at the thrown tables and scattered drinks they could tell Hitoshi failed to mention people did not truly cooperate.

Everyone was detained with double zip tie handcuffs. It seemed Naomasa Tsukauchi and his team of police officers were taking everyone out in groups into the police cars parked outside. Every person in the club was going to be taken in for questioning.

They needed to rule out the people who knew what this club was really for, from the innocent. They were making sure no one could escape, regardless if they came from money or not. Tsukauchi was determined to get those involved charged for their criminal activity.

Fatgum and pro-hero Suneater were also helping with taking everyone into the police cars. Fatgum was true to his word when he said he wanted the students of U.A to take most of the heavy lifting. If they were going to graduate this year, they needed to know what to do when they encountered situations like this.

The world outside U.A High was nothing but dark. Villains did not wait for them to learn a lesson like they would normally do in class. A moment of hesitation could mean life or death.

When they infiltrated the club. Eijirou was the bulldozer to take down the door, should the guards refuse to let them in even after showing them a warrant, which they did.

Eijirou was taking care of Denki, who was giving him two thumbs up showing he was okay. Using his quirk at max capacity had him in his dumb state. It was also the reason they were able to capture everyone so easily once he electrocuted the people inside.

Once the electrocution quirk of Denki stopped, Hanta ran in first and taped all the guards he could find inside, pulling them up to have them hang from the ceiling. He was wearing special boots to not get electrocuted by Denki's quirk.

The police officers and Tsukauchi ran in with their guns at the ready after Hanta went in. They did not want to shoot anyone, but they would do what was necessary if it came to that. Fatgum and Suneater ran in after them and they effortlessly captured everyone else.

With Suneater using his tentacles from his quirk, he was able to capture some guards who ran away from Hanta. Fatgum grabbed some people that were trying to escape and stuffed them in his belly for good measure. With his quirk being at full capacity, he was able to absorb those people into him, leaving their heads out so they could breathe. Once they stopped resisting, he took them out and started zip tying them for the police.

Tenya was outside capturing the stragglers that were able to escape when they ran from the club. Capturing them with ease with his speed quirk, as he grabbed them and threw them up in the air. Ochako, made sure to touch all of them to have them float.

Tsuyu grabbed them with her long frog tongue, bringing them down to zip tie them. In situations like these, Tsuyu's frog quirk and Ochako's gravity quirk came in handy. There were police officers outside who took over for them once Tsuyu handed them over and Ochako released them from her quirk.

They were the team to make sure no one escaped.

Aizawa and Hitoshi watched from the sidelines, while the whole ordeal went down. Hitoshi standing side by side with his dad, noticed from the corner of his eyes. There were times Aizawa wanted to step in, but he knew it was wise not to.

Soon he would not be there for his students, and needed to acknowledge, they've grown up from their first year. They were all capable of working on missions on their own now, and they were proving themselves today.

Once Hitoshi was able to get close to the guards who were captured. He used his brainwashing quirk and made them answer his questions. He was able to get a guard to draw a map of the underground. A map he was able to send to everyone when it was Shouto, Izuku and Katsuki's turn to join the fight.

The four of them along with Aizawa, Fatgum, Suneater and a couple of other officers went towards the back of the club. While everyone else took care of the people at the top.

Just like the guard mentioned, there was a small utility closet room they all entered. It had shelves full of cleaning supplies. Hitoshi motioned for everyone to give him space as he ran his hand down on the concrete walls.

A pattern seemed uneven to the other lines at the very end of the back wall. When he knocked on the wall he smirked once he heard a hollow sound. He crouched down and moved his hands around the edges of the bottom wall until he felt a small breeze. He dug his fingers into his pocket and took out the key one of the guards gave him.

Stuffing the key on the small hole on the wall, Hitoshi turned it with anticipation. The room was silent as they all heard a small click of a metal door opening slightly. Once Hitoshi got up, he grabbed the small opening of the wall and pulled it open, revealing a long dark hallway with flickering lights on the ceiling.

Izuku looked around and noticed this hallway almost seemed like it was for mining and not hiding people. Izuku stepped into the hallway first after Hitoshi. Katsuki growling low behind him for wanting to go in first.

Izuku already used to Katsuki's temper didn't pay attention to him and kept walking forward. Shouto stepped after Katsuki, keeping a small distance from him in case he decided to send an explosion his way for irritating him.

Everyone else behind Shouto followed along.

They all reached the end of the hallway, that split into three different directions. If it wouldn't have been for the map Hitoshi got earlier, they'd have no idea what hallway to take next and gotten lost. The three of them looked the same with flickering yellow lights above.

Katsuki begrudgingly thanked the tired purple haired hero for getting the information first. It would have been a nightmare if they had to take one hallway at a time.

Aizawa got everyone's attention. "Alright, this is where we split. You three know what needs to be done. Bakugou, don't let your ego for winning cloud your judgment. Todoroki try not to be so awkward when you find the boy, Hitoshi is going with you, but you both lack social skills you still need to work on. Problem child... don't give me that look Midoriya, you know you are. I'm going with you."

It was decided, Aizawa was tagging with Izuku to get Y/n, he would only step in if it was necessary. Of course, he would talk to her, though he will let Izuku handle most of the heavy lifting.

Katsuki was going on his own with a nervous Suneater, who still remembered their one training together in Katsuki's first year. He would still be nervous about the blond even with the officers tagging along to help them.

Fatgum was headed off with Hitoshi and Shouto, however he would only step in if he was needed. Him and Aizawa decided it was best to stay back and watch the heroes in training. They both agreed this mission was a steppingstone for them to gain what they needed once they graduated.

Aizawa gave Hitoshi one last knowing look and smiled at the young man who rolled his eyes annoyingly at his father.

Then the three groups split to complete their parts of the mission...
