1-A was falling apart. 1-B close behind. The teachers were in a meeting, discussing another course of action.

Bakugo had not gotten better.

Todoroki stopped eating.

Uraraka was never seen out of her room, Tsu always supplying her food and making her take care of herself.

Shinso was taking high-doses of sleeping medicines to sleep off his sadness. His saltiness about the Sports Festival were long gone, he wanted the greebette back--the world seemed so different with him gone.

Ojiro was always working on martial arts.

Kendo often was seen at the gym.

Kirishima and TetsuTetsu often sparred together but no words were said. And sometimes they just spontaneously sat down and stopped.

Jiro and Momo began meditating to alleviate stress but their minds always seemed to wonder. Later on Koda and Sero would join.

Bakugo was always everywhere and nowhere. Always spotted but never around.

Shoji took up knitting.

Monoma always listened to music or read--something many people found off about him recently. They didn't think Midoriya's absence would hinder him to this state.

Ibara was always in the garden, sometimes teaching others in her class how to nurture plants.

Kaminari was always in his room, video games abandoned. Sketching paper out where he could draw his emotions. The poor teen kept redrawing class photos from before the incident. Or adding Midoriya to the background of all the photos taken of his friend groups and him.

They were all a mess, and nothing could help them.

"Wait what?" Asked All Might, appalled.

The meeting in Nezu's office was tense.

"I said we need to go to Tartarus. I have reason to believe that Midoriya Izuku is going to go to the villains. We need their location and only one person in our custody knows where they might be."

Toshinori and Nezu made their way to Tartarus, having scheduled an emergency visit. The owner of the prison instantly accepted the visitation, seeing Nezu glare at him helped the process.

Toshinori's footsteps clacked on the tiled ground. It was ominous and the air seemed thick. Toshinori was close to hyperventilating.

Scratch that, he was close to a full on panic attack.

Nezu sat on his shoulder, ignoring the emotions the hero all but cast out. Slowly they turned towards the center of the building.

They stopped in front of a door guarded by three men in suits, one on each side and one across the door. Toshinori felt Nezu hop off his shoulder and stand in front of a guard. The guard remained looking straight ahead as Nezu narrowed his eyes.

He had a bad feeling about the one on the right.

He had purposefully looked into all the guards before watching the head prison guard select special ones for this door. This one just so happened to have an instant quirk--whenever it activated, he was forced to take the backseat in his mind as his body completed the task needed.

But Toshinori took a whopping inhale of air to calm his jittery nerves. He took the keycard of the leader of the Tartarus Prison Guard and scanned it across the box. An automated voice spoke, "Please scan your hand for proper authorization." Toshinori moved his hands to do so.

Nezu clicked his tongue, stopping his staring session with the guard, and waddled over, saying, "I need to put my paw there."

Toshinori, who trusted his boss, stepped aside and allowed the creature to scan in. But Nezu looked at him, annoyed.

"I am sorry but I must ask what makes you think I can reach this when I surely cannot even touch the doorknob." Toshinori fumbled and realized the principle was right, the scanner was ridiculously high off the ground, and at an odd angle. It was a couple feet above the doorknob.

Probably so it is easier for the tall Tartarus Officer to go in and out, but also as a security measurement.

Smart on their end.

Toshinori moved forward and picked Nezu up awkwardly. Nezu paid no mind to the amusing situation however Toshinori felt like he was trying to pick up an over glorified badger that might flip around and attack him any second.

Yes, he definitely trusted his boss.

"Verification complete, welcome Nezu."

Toshinori put the rat-like chimera down and together they walked through the door.

Off to see the villain, the wonderful All for One.

Once the door closed behind them, all three guards couldn't hold in their laughter and broke their serious persona. That was the most amusing thing that had ever happened on their shift.

They really hoped the giant, dense blonde and the overly sophisticated bear thing came back soon.
