Part XVI - Guilt

I looked at the clock. 2:32.

I sighed and turned over to the other side.

"These videos. I need to delete them."

I stood up. I was feeling dizzy and had to pause for a moment to regain my posture.

I opened my door. I remembered I had dropped the phone somewhere around here.

It wasn't there.

I continued to look around, even going down the stairs to see. But I never found it.

- Fuck, I mumbled, making my way back to my room.

But then, I heard a small whisper.

- Izuku?

It was Ochako, calling out for me in a sleepy voice.

- Hey.
- What's up? What are you looking for?
- My phone.
- Oh. Why do you need it? It's 2 AM.

I looked down at the floor. I believed this would be good if I told her. I just had to tell someone about this before I delete them.

- I found some disturbing things on it and wish to delete them.
- Like what?

She got more serious, looking straight into my eyes.

- Torture videos, I blurted out.

Her eyes widened.

- What? she asked in an angry tone.
- Shigaraki filmed us while he was torturing us.
- That fucking asshole! I'll fucking kill him!

She threw the pillow she was holding at the wall but instead, it crashed into a random plant making it fall over in a loud "boom".

- What a bastard! Both him and the heroes. They're both the worst thing! she hissed.
- I know, but calm down.

Because she wouldn't calm down, I hugged her, making her shut up. She was suprised and froze at first but the she hugged me back.

- Thanks Izuku for trusting me into telling me this, she said, her face buried in my chest.
- You're the only one I trust here.
- Same.

We stayed like this for a few moments before pulling back.

- So, what do we do now? she asked.

She continued:

- I don't want to go back to these bastards anymore. Torturing us is one thing, but filming it and making it a fucking documentary like we are some animals in a zoo is a no. But I also don't want to stay here.
- I thought of something, I said.

She looked at me straight in the eyes again with a small smirk.

- I'm listening captain Izu.

I rolled my eyes.

- Well, I think that staying here is the best option to be honest. They train us and give us some kind of education. And they kind of take care of us too, unlike the villains back at the hideout.
- Hm, you're right.

My eyes lit up as I thought of an idea.

- Hey, I just remembered something... I said with a smile.
- What? she answered, raising an eyebrow at my playful smile.
- I got some money back at the hideout.
- How much?
- About 10 million yen. [~100 000$ US]
- Holy crap! How'd you get that?!
- Stole some in missions and some random people's money I stole too.
- Nice! So, what do you plan to do?

I let out a chuckle. We had been whispering the whole time, but now, I approached her and whispered in her ear.

- Let's go get that money back. And when we are strong enough, we escape together.

She blushed and smiled. A genuine smile of someone who's happy.

- I'm fucking in, she said.
- Alright, I'll make the preparations, we're going tomorrow night.
- You can count on me Izu!

I secretly blushed, hidden by the darkness of the room. We both made our way back to our room. When I laid down on my bed, I felt good.

"How exciting."

I drifted off to sleep in peace, not bothered by the videos anymore.

[...]

I woke up. 7:26.

"A whoppin' 4 hours and a half of sleep, fucking amazing." I thought, rubbing my eyes.

I put on my uniform and tied my tie before heading out. In the kitchen, five students were already sitting and eating at the table.

Bakugo, Kirishima, Mina, Sero and Kaminari.
