S:THMH 33 Betrayal

(everyone laughed)

Kurogiri: It definitely will be, but because he's beaten you.

Midoriya nodded frantically in agreement, but neither of them had the chance to say anything else before the sound of a doorbell echoed through the agency. They looked at each other in confusion for a moment, then stood up and Mirio made sure Midoriya stayed protected behind him as they headed in the direction of the front door.

By the time they got there, many of his classmates were already gathered. Someone had actually opened the door at some point and there was a man who Mirio didn't recognize standing in the doorway.

The man gave them a jaunty smile, "Hello there heroes, I'm here to make you an offer."

Cementoss: And there's Shiguro.

Hitoshi wasn't really an early riser, but he was an insomniac, which meant that when Izuku called him on his comms, he was still awake. He'd spent most of the night going over the plans they'd made for if one of them was arrested and memorizing any adjustments, so he hadn't really gotten any sleep, but then again, he was used to it. The eyebags matched the scare-everyone-out-of-their-minds aesthetic.

"Hey Hitoshi." Izuku spoke quietly. "Is Jirou listening?"

Jirou: Probably not. I'm not an early morning person.

Hitoshi walked into the other room and made sure she was lying on the floor breathing deeply before walking back and responding, "She's asleep. What's going on?"

"The pawn shop guy stopped by the agency this morning." Izuku said. "I'm planning on telling the heroes exactly where those two are hiding to cement the heroes' trust in me, which means..."

Shinso: Gotta get out of there. Sorry Kaminari, Jirou.

"That I need to get out of the apartment and erase all evidence we were even here." Hitoshi finished. "They still know something's going down at the charity event tonight, though. What if they talk?"

"It's a risk, I have a plan for that." Izuku sounded like he was smiling. "Remember, we still have that villain group that owes us a favor."

Kaminari: We're going to end up like Giran aren't we?

Kirishima: Yup.

Hitoshi nodded. He'd been expecting this so it wouldn't take too much effort to erase his and Izuku's presence. Just grabbing a few of their things and erasing all of Izuku's mad scientist walls. It would take him fifteen minutes, tops.

All Might: Weren't those in permanent marker? Are you sure those can even be erased?

Gran Torino: Who knows.

Ten minutes later, Hitoshi was ready to go, a duffel bag of weapons and personal items slung over his back. He peeked his head into the room where Kyoka and Denki were, just to make sure they were still asleep. They looked so peaceful and for a moment, Hitoshi wondered if he should wake them up and tell them to run as well. It would probably ruin some of his and Izuku's plans, but these two were their friends, and didn't friends protect each other?

Iida: Yes...

Hitoshi shook his head. People with quirks like his didn't get to have friends. After this was all over, Denki and Kyoka would go back to their normal lives, with their normal quirks and, even if they decided to train more with the control aspects of their quirks, they still wouldn't be considered villainous like he was. They'd see how other people treated him and how others would treat them just for being associated with him and they'd leave, just like everyone else had.

Jirou: No we won't.

Kaminari: We promise.

He adjusted the bag on his shoulder and turned on his heel. He didn't let himself look back, even after he'd left the apartment behind. They'd all known from the beginning that they would be stabbing each other in the back, if that's what it took to win.
