Third POV

"Well, what exactly are these requests of yours?" Katsuki raised his brow, still looking staring at him.

"The request doesn't exactly have to do with me," Izuku started, "But 1, I need  you to completely leave my mom from all of this; the things done are between me and you." Katsuki nodded, understanding that, "And the last thing is, I'd like it if you could give me a single phone call with her."

That's when his eyes narrowed, Izuku taking the hint that he was against that one. "Let me explain at least." Izuku stumbled, "My mom hadn't seen me in over 2 days and knowing her she's worried sick- so I just want to tell her that she can rest easy and overall reassure her- just so a case won't pop up."

Izuku knew his mom very well, he understood that he was her pride and joy and for him to suddenly disappear would take a toll on her. So to try and ease her heart he'd just say that he ran away and it had nothing to do with her. "If you don't believe me then you can go ahead and place a gun to my head at any point in which you feel that I might say something you don't like." He encouraged.

In Katsuki's head, he thought Izuku was being bold with a statement like that. But if he was willing to say that even after showing how scared he was to die he must've been telling the truth. They stared for a moment or two before Katsuki looked away.

"I grant both of them, but you do understand the circumstances if you betray me right?" He insured, "don't ever  be mistaken, I'm the one in control."

"I understand, Katsuki." Izuku nodded, "now what exactly do you need help with?"

. . . Main Lounge Area (Base) . . .

That's where everyone else was gathered, waiting for their boss once more to know what to do with the current captives. "So, once the boss gives the order we act," Iida stated. Everyone else nodding.

"He went back home, with a look on his face- only I'd never seen it before." Mina suddenly spoke making everyone else look at her. "Do you think it had something with the sectors being broken into?" Yaoyorozu asked.

Uraraka shook her head, "No, he only made that face when he was leaving, my bet is currently on that Midoriya kid."

"Oh yeah, hey Tsu you spent a day with him, what was he like?" Mina grinned with curiosity.

The green-haired woman placed a finger on her chin, recalling that yesterday, "Well, to be honest, he isn't even that bad."

"He's quiet and kinda shy but then out of the blue he asked to take notes on me, I said yes and once he was done I asked him what he planned to do with them."

"What did he say?" Todoroki paused, intrigued at such news.

"He said nothing. He's taking notes became a hobby for him, and the only reason he takes notes is cause he likes to analyze people but in general he never actually did anything with them but keeps them in a book- he's sweet once you get to know him."

Kirishima then decided to add some of his intel that had been relayed by the boss.

"According to the boss he's somewhat fragile- the boss tried something as he usually did but instead of going along like the other captives- he stared crying and looked so scared that the boss let go."
