Katsuki stumbled into a new room once again, Aizawa following, no longer holding the title 'sensei' in Katsuki's mind. No matter where he was, something told the blonde that he wouldn't get another chance should he not escape now. Third times a charm is a load of bull. He violently lashed out, without his quirk, dodging Aizawa's capture weapon. He lobbed a man across the face, punched someone in the gut, and might have broken another's rib before he was suddenly forced to the ground. He grunted.

Katsuki, with his head held down, surveyed the area the best he could, crimson eyes falling on a little boy in the corner. Kota?! That brat is here!?

*CLAP*

*CLAP*

*CLAP*

A slow, almost mocking, clap resounded around the room. The crowd circled around the blonde split and Deku strode through it. Of course... Deku crouched down by the detained Katsuki. "Well, well, well... Long time, no see, Bakugou." He mocked. Katsuki spat. Deku's sunglasses changed to show two angry red dots. He grabbed the blonde's face and painfully yanked his head up, red eyes meeting red dots. The position had made it hard for Katuki to breathe and he had to gulp for air, the combination of a strained airway and weight on his body causing airflow to be limited.

"You best watch your attitude here before I adjust it for you. Got it?"

Katsuki bit his tongue and glared.

Deku scoffed and dropped his face, Katsuki's jaw hitting the floor with a painful *Clack*. He took a deep breath, airway becoming less strained.

Deku turned around. "Thank you guys for helping me out. Bakugou and I want to catch up a tad. Will you all get Kota settled in? We will have a welcoming ceremony for him later.

Katsuki watched as the crowd dispersed, Kota going with them. Still, he was held down. The only people left were the main members of the Quirkles Rejects, Aizawa, and a girl with butterfly wings and a guy with a mouth mask that had... cat-like features... Wow. Two of the main members were missing it would seem but based on the way these two were dressed, they might be fill-ins. Did they have a falling out?

Nevermind that. Kota. He took a deep breath. Well, I've been talking some today anyways, minus well work my way out of this... as much as I don't want to...

"K- Kota," he choked out. "Why is h- e here? Let him g- o."

"Let him go?" Deku asked. "Wow, you're late. Kota has made the decision to join us." What? "He has a lot of resentment for such a young boy."

Deku waved his hand and the people, (Jester and Grimlin?), let him go. Katsuki got to his feet but did not fight. He knew that he had to play this carefully. These people... well to put it frankly, they are the main members of the most widespread, dangerous, and infamous villain organization. If Katsuki wanted to make it out of this alive, he need not fight but to wait for his chance.

"I do- n't believe you," he growled. "Understandable," Deku nodded. "I bet you are wondering what on earth would push him that far. Well, everyone has their own reasons, and that is why you are here today, Bakugou."

"Eh?"

"You see, for Kota it was simply a few months of watching the hero society and the rest of the world praise his parent's deaths." They died? "For others, it is quite different. Take me for example. Ten years of abuse and bullying upon Izuku brought me to even be in existence." Katsuki cringed. I know, I know. "Now, I ask you, knowing what you know, what do you think we have brought you here today for?"
