To The End Of An Apocalypse

Izuku looks at Katsuki, who seems to be zoning out, thinking. Everyone else is clawing to get more food into their bodies, so Izuku takes out a small metal tin from his uniform pocket. 

He walks to the blonde and holds out the tin of dried meat to him. Katsuki looks at him, his eyes refocusing. 

"You should eat something before we go." 

Katsuki takes the tin from him and opens the thin lid of it. He eats the dried meat inside and doesn't say anything as he does. 

As everyone is eating, Izuku cleans his ax of the blood, making it shiny. Iida pushes his glasses up with his finger and looks at Izuku, the lenses casting a light on his eyes. 

"Thank you for the food, sir. Would it be rude of me to ask your name?" 

he looks at Tenya then at the desk where the food used to be. Now it's just the empty container and the water bottle, nothing left. 

Izuku's face twitches slightly and he looks back at Tenya. 

"Um...My number is 04." 

Tenya looks down at him, confused. 

"Number sir?" 

Izuku puts his backpack back on. 

"Yeah, the base uses numbers to keep track of everyone. Anyway, i only came here for Bakugo, but i can't just leave you all here so your free to come along." 

Kirishima looks over at him, eating the rest of the food in his hand that leaves crumbs all over the place. Kaminari snags a bit of it and eats some himself. 

"Are you here by yourself?" 

Izuku nods. 

"Yes. It takes two weeks to get to the base from here, so if you all want to come, now would be the time to say so."

The student's glance at each other, no one declining, though there are some uncertain looks. Izuku continues to speak. 

"I'm sure all of you are aware, but outside isn't a safe place to be. There is a good chance people are going to die and when that happens you just have to move on. You can leave anytime you want, but you're on your own." 

Izuku stands up and goes to the door, holding his ax in one hand as his backpack makes clanging sounds. 

"If you are coming, follow me, stay close, and move fast." 

Izuku doesn't wait for any of them to answer before opening the door and stepping out. He moves left down the hall and people begin to follow. 

Kirishima sees the body of their teacher and gives him a look of gratitude before moving on. The hallways are splattered with blood and bodies, a number of them with intestines spewing out. 

Someone throws up, leaning against the wall to take a quick breath. Izuku's stride doesn't slow down as he moves. There is something banging loudly on one of the classroom doors in front of them. 

The wood of the door pushes forward and back again as the thing throws its body at it. Izuku moves past it, the rest following.
