X: Strategies

That was new, they'd never known anyone to resist the boss nor had they ever heard the boss laying off of someone because of a few tears.

"I dunno, I think this Midoriya boy might be a little more than we all have imagined." A blond man suggested.

His name was Denki Kaminari, he (of course) had a darker blond chin-length hair, with a black lightning streak on his left side, as he too had golden/ yellow colored eyes.

"I mean, cmon he hasn't even been here for over a week, and now the boss is suddenly so lenient on him, what's next, he's gonna start calling Bakugo by his first name."

That's when Asui gave the news, "Actually he's been calling him by his first name, in fact when we were talking he name called the boss regularly."

"Hm, for all we know the boss is only allowing this because he planning a death pretty soon, considering the number of new comings thanks to Midoriya." Yaoyorozu frowned in displeasure.

Mina sighed, "it seems like that's the only option... and it sucks- but all we can do is follow orders."

. . . That Evening . . .

Everyone in the lounge room was officially called into the main conference room by their boss.

They noticed he seemed to be in deep thought as they filed in before Iida cleared his throat alerting the blond.

"So what's our next course of action, sir?" Mina asked, "As we've already tried using the maximum force on them but nothing; like they've been forced into submission."

The maximum force was holding a gun with an empty chamber to their head, threatening to kill them.

"Assuming that they weren't hired off the streets it's clear that they must be loyal members, so we need to break said loyalty and submission." Katsuki started.

In his head, so far everything Izuku had said was right in the 3rd strategy made.

Each strategy was a little different but seemed effective enough.

1: they've just only been hired and don't know any real authoritative figure, but they must know the person that called them in so digging up that person would lead to the head figure that made such an order.

2: they are loyal members, so play them both; separate them and tell each one a lie about the other such as "we'll be granting only one of your life if you tell us" likely if they care so much about their boss they won't, but they might end up turning on each other if the cards are played right.

3: they've been forced into submission, take them into a false sense of security, like convince them that they will be safe with you rather than the person who gave the orders.

Katsuki ended up explaining the rest of the third plan, everyone seemed to understand.

"That's quite some plan, "Yaoyorozu noted, not expecting the blond to come up with something like that.

Even she who was exceptionally gifted didn't figure out that much.

"Asui will be the one to get them to her sense of security; it'll be hard for them to not do it since they haven't directly spoken to her, and the fact that she's monotone and doesn't show much of a facial expression," Katsuki added.

The green-haired girl nodded at her orders.

"Wait, are we keeping them under our protection though? They still technically stole from us." Kaminari raised his brow.

They watched the blond chuckle, though not as nice as most would've liked it.

"Oh no Kaminari, once we get what we need to know we'll be taking them out just like their little friends."

There he was, the same boss that exercised the same dark aura and bloodlust as he usually did when he was out for revenge.

His final instructions were given, everyone being dismissed to their daily duties, with Asui heading down to the basement to check up on the Bakugo clan's captives.
