Light Within The Shadows(Aizawa x Reader Agent!AU)

Ch 5: Escape

"Take her to the basement. She might sell for a good price." The masked man said. I'm being...sold?

'Help me, Hizashi, Aizawa...please...'

~~~~~

Aizawa's P.O.V.

Hizashi and I sat at the bar where she was supposed to be. I clenched my fist and slammed it on the table.

"Where in the hell are we going to find her?!" I yelled. 

Hizashi put his hands out. "Calm down man. She's most likely still in this building. We need to find her with a calm mind. So, what can we do?"

"Well, we can track her equipment, but I highly doubt they'd leave her stuff with her," I replied. Looking around, I saw a group of people enter the elevator. Then they turned around, I saw a glimpse of her face. I stood up abruptly. "There she is. But where are they going?"

The elevator doors closed and on the digital display, it showed one letter: B.

"Hizashi, let's go. We're going to the basement."

~~~~~

The two men made their way to the basement, quickly following anyone of interest. We stayed in the shadows until we followed someone to a set of doors guarded by two men. A couple handed a guard a slip of paper, and they were given a mask each. The guard opened the door to let them in.

"Okay, Hizashi. On my count, you attack the guard on the left. I'll get the right. Got it?" I asked. He nodded. "On one...two.....three!"

We jumped out of our hiding places and made quick work of the guards and left them unconscious. We each took a mask, and entered the room. 

The whole room resembled a theatre, a stage, the seats all filled, with some people standing on the sidelines. The room was brimming with conversation. We walked up to a man and asked what was going on.

"The Villains' yearly Underground Auction. Why, weren't you informed?" He said.

"My good friend here just has a short-term memory. We're here for something special." Hizashi intervened. I exhaled. I'll have to thank him for that one later.

"Oh this auction has everything; from items to weaponry, even slaves!" The man ranted. I looked to Hizashi, nodding.

A man walked onto the stage with a microphone and announced the beginning of the auction. "Welcome to the yearly Underground Auction!! We have a wide variety of items that are sure to satisfy your greatest desires! Now, shall we begin?"

The bidding was insane. One man came out, in chains, terrified for his life. The announcer described him as a strong man who will adhere to his master's will. People clamoured for ownership of just one person. Is this really how low humanity can sink?

Many things and people were being auctioned off, prices rising as high as eight million yen. Cheers of success rang throughout the audience, but cries of despair came from the people being sold as slaves. And throughout the masked faces in the crowd, not one of them showed regret.

"And now, a beat up beauty! With high pain tolerance, she is the ideal servant for you!" The announcer yelled.

I looked up and I saw her there. In shackles, bruised and beaten, but alive. I looked to Hizashi and he nodded. We needed to get her back now. We walked forward, toward the stage. People raised the price way over eight million.

"Come on, ladies and gentlemen!! Take a look at this voluptuous vixen! She's got the beauty of legends!" The announcer took a hold of her and slid his hands all over her, outlining her curves. I could see the look of rage on her face. She threw her head back into the announcer's stomach and knocked him over. She stood up and her cuffs melted off of her and sat on the floor in a puddle.

"Let's go!" I told Hizashi. He held a thumbs up and aimed his Mahi gun at the announcer, and paralyzed him. The crowd gasped, looking for the shooter. I ran forward to help her fight off the oncoming guards.

~~~~~

Your P.O.V.

I took a fighting position, facing the guards coming on stage. They rushed me with weapons, and I activated my Quirk. I could hear the pandemonium happening in the audience.

When someone fired the Mahi gun, it could only be two people. I smiled in relief. I covered my fists in vermillion flames. "You guys can't win!! I'm leaving!"

I punched and kicked my way to the backstage. We still have to get this artifact back to the museum. I looked through all the stolen things and freed all the prisoners. I found the tanto blade and tied it to my waist with some rope. 

Running back out on stage, I could see Aizawa fighting off the guards with his capture device. I blew air between the guards and they fell off the stage. I ran to his side. "Good to see you! Thanks for saving me!"

"No problem. Hizashi is already getting ready to leave. We have enough data, we should go too." Aizawa said. 

We fought off guards left and right, slowly making our way off the stage. But it slowly got overwhelming. It wasn't any better with all my injuries. One of the guards hit a stab wound on my stomach, and I fell over, groaning in pain. 

Aizawa noticed, and held me up by the waist. The guards started surrounding us, when...

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

I know that scream anywhere. I look at the doors and see Hizashi with Naomasa, and the rest of the 3rd division of the U.A. National Police. "Stop! You are under arrest!!"

~~~~~

"Agh!"

I groaned in pain as Recovery Girl, a very skilled doctor and healing-Quirk user, dressed and healed my wounds. "You were lucky that none of those stab wounds hit any vital organs. That many usually kills a person."

"Heh, thank you Recovery Girl." I thanked.

"Now, have some rest. You'll return to work in a few days." She said, and left the room.

I lay down in peace, wondering about the man with blue hair. Did we get any information on that man? 

I lay down, alone with my thoughts when I heard the door open. "How are you?" Aizawa asked.

"Just fine."

"Well, I brought some apples for you." He began peeling them, slicing them, and put them on a plate for me to eat. "...........Are you sure you're okay, (L/N)?"

"Yeah, of course I am. And you don't have to call me by my last name anymore. Call me (Y/N)." I answered. "Since you saved me, it only seems reasonable."

"Well then, by that logic, you can call me Shouta."

"Yeah."

~~~~~

"Ms. (L/N)!!!"

All the students of 1-A surrounded me, relieved that I made it okay. It was only a few days after the assault on the casino. The tanto blade was back where it belonged and the casino was shut down due to the illegal auction.

The class got to work on their regular training courses, while I watched on the sidelines writing notes.

'Bakugou definitely could improve his temper, and Todoroki should really stop relying on his Quirk too much like I said. Denki needs to up his limit, etc, etc.'

A little later, all staff members were called to a conference room by Nezu. Once all the staff were in the room, Nezu began to speak. 

"Those people, are our enemies. They will begin to wage a war against us, a war to destroy the society of our agents." He said. A woman in a bondage outfit spoke up.

"It's a good thing Aizawa, Yamada, and (L/N) were able to expose them. But we could've taken this more seriously."

"I think we got too comfortable in this peaceful era," Hizashi mentioned. "I think it's safe to say..."

"There's a traitor within our ranks."
