"Ha ha, so no one get mad at me, but..."
Uraraka walked back into the kitchen, Shoto's computer in hand.
"What the hell did you do?!" Katsuki screached, rushing forwards to grab the device from her at the same time Shoto did.
She quickly turned and hid the device with her body. "Nothing bad! I'm trying to help." She said hurriedly.
The two spies backed off at her words. Katsuki still looked apprehensive, but Shoto gestured for her to continue talking.
Uraraka hesitantly looked between the two, then quickly made her way to Izuku's side. She set the computer down on the counter and started clicking through applications.
"I'm kind of good with computers, and I'm too snoopy for my own good." She mumbled while typing.
"We should just kill her now, she's getting on my nerves." Katsuki mumbled, running a hand down his face.
Izuku was seconds away from shouting at him for threatening his friend, yet again, when Shoto actually beat him to it.
"Shut up, Katsuki. She's off limits and you know that." He muttered back to the blond, who just groaned and threw his head back.
Izuku just looked between them, mildly confused by their interaction.
"Anyways," Uraraka said under her breath, trying to steer the conversation in the right direction again. "Like I was saying, I was snooping and I found this laptop. I'm pretty good with computers, so I got in pretty easily, then I really started snooping."
"How'd you get past the password? Everything on there is deleted if you enter even one wrong guess." Katsuki pointed out, resting his elbow on the counter as he watched the brunette navigate her way through Shoto's messy files like a pro.
She just threw her head back in a sudden laugh at the question. "First off, that's a stupid system. Make it at least three tries, what if you miss type one day? Second, it wasn't hard to guess it was Mido's birthday."
The green haired man snapped his head to look at Shoto. The normally stone faced man was blushing.
'What a sap,' Izuku thought to himself with a small smile.
Katsuki, on the other hand, smacked the half and half man over the back of his head. "His birthday? Really?"
Shoto shrugged at the accusation. "Yours would be too obvious."
Now that got the blond to blush.
Izuku couldn't keep his laughter to himself and ended up catching the attention of the spies. He just shook his head at the two of them when they shot him questioning looks.
"I don't know why you're laughing, he's trusted our only chance at survival, to your birthday." Katsuki grumbled, flicking Uraraka so she would get back to what she was doing instead of watching the three men.
Izuku shrugged at him. "You two are the only ones who know I exist anyway, let alone know my birthday. It was actually pretty smart." He said while ruffling Shoto's hair.
The stoic man wasn't exactly sure what was happening at first, and looked over at Izuku with a look that crossed baffled with awestruck.
"That's not true." Katsuki mumbled, crossing his arms over his chest and leaning back against the counter.
The greenette wasn't sure what he meant, but realization hit him only a few seconds later. "Iida."
Uraraka slammed her hands down on the counter in frustration. "Don't remind me! He's such a jerk." She vented, before shaking her head.
Her best friend elected to ignore her outburst and looked back over at the spies. "I cannot believe you hired someone to be my friend." Izuku hissed.
"We wanted to make sure you were safe." Shoto said quietly, scratching the back of his neck in an awkward fashion.
"Okay ladies," Uraraka called, catching all of the guys' attention. "So I got into their system. It's really not that great, you guys should fix that after this whole thing is over."
All three men were dead silent as they just stared at the small brunette with wide eyes.
She finally realized that no one was responding to her and looked up. Her brows were scrunched in confusion at the shock on their faces. "What?"
"You... you did what?" Katsuki asked in complete shock and disbelief.
"Got into their system? Was I not supposed to?" Uraraka asked, suddenly worried she fucked something up.
Shoto rushed to her side, angling the computer towards himself and scrolling through the application she had pulled up. "Holy shit, Kat, she wasn't kidding."
"No fucking way." Katsuki said while pushing Shoto out of the way and confirming it for himself. "How'd you do this?!" He asked, grabbing Uraraka's arm and pulling her from her stool.
"What? Like it's hard?" She asked, nervously laughing and trying to pry her arm out of his grip.
Izuku quickly stepped in, removing the blond's hand from his friend. "There, there, Kacchan, calm down."
"We've been trying for months! And she gets it in two minutes?! WHAT THE FUCK!"
The green haired man winced slightly from the close proximity of the yell. "You two were always shit with computers, no offense."
Shoto pushed himself up to sit on the counter next to Uraraka and shrugged. "None taken."
"Offense taken!" Katsuki shouted right after. Izuku just patted his cheek in a patronizing way and turned back to his friend.
"So can you just upload the virus remotely now?" He asked, hoping that it could be that easy for once in his life.
The brunette had to hold in her laughter at the question. "Oh hell no, that's not how this virus works. It's going to explode whatever computer you put it in before it can do any damage."
"Then what's the point?"
Shoto shook his head at Izuku's question. "We're not putting it into a computer at HQ, we're putting it into the building itself. It'll be able to take the strain of the virus just long enough for it to do its job. Then it'll probably fry every piece of tech built into the building." He explained.
"Which will trigger an immediate lock down. From that point on, no one is going to get in or out of that place." Katsuki finished.
'That explained the suicide mission then,' Izuku thought. He ran a hand through his hair in frustration. "Is there no way to get out before that happens?"
Shoto shrugged. "Most likely no. We'll only have about five to ten minutes, and it'll take at least fifteen to get to any exit from the insertion point."
"Please, never call it that again." Uraraka said with a grossed out look on her face.
"Insertion point?" Shoto asked, tilting his head.
The brunette covered her ears and shut her eyes. "Ew! Shush, stop talking!"
"What?!" Shoto asked, the implication of the name going right over his head. "That's what it is, why wouldn't I call it that?"
Izuku patted his head, much like he had with Katsuki earlier. "You poor, naive thing."
Katsuki was laughing his ass off next to them, having no sympathy for Shoto's cluelessness. He was used to this type of thing happening. Innuendos always went over the other's head.
"Whatever, let's stop talking about it." Uraraka said, a frown still present on her face. "If I was closer to the building, I could probably buy you that missing five minutes to get out." She said, after finding.... something. Izuku had no idea, computers weren't his thing either.
"Really?" He asked, his hope displayed openly on his face.
"But I need to be close, like really close."
Katsuki narrowed his eyes at her. "Like same city close?"
She shook her head. "Like right outside their front door close."
The blond pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration. "Great, how the fuck are we going to manage that? Iida knows you both, and there's no doubt that he's told whoever's in charge that you're with us now."
"We don't even have anyone else we can go to for help." Shoto said, trying to logically think through the situation to find the best solution.
Suddenly Uraraka and Izuku locked eyes, Uraraka's brown ones sparkling with an idea.
"Don't even think about it!" Izuku exclaimed.
The two spies looked between them in curiosity and apprehension.
Uraraka smiled brightly. "But she's the only idea or chance we've got."
"But she's fucking crazy." Izuku said, crossing his arms in clear displeasure.
The brunette just rolled her eyes at him. "She is not, you're just mad she calls you short all the time."
"Am not!"
"You totally are!"
"Who the fuck are you two talking about?!" Katsuki asked in an annoyed voice, nearly seething.
"This woman who came into the book story regularly. She used to tell us these crazy stories about how she was a secret agent when she was younger, but we never believed them. But she is the one who taught me about, ya know, the computer stuff." Uraraka explained, nearly giddy at the thought of her sort of mentor.
The spies turned their attention to Izuku. He sighed at the expectant gazes. "It's probably true, she knew a lot to just be some psycho."
Uraraka's eyes widened even more. "Seriously?!"
Shoto nodded in agreement. "If she's the one who taught you, it's more than likely she was."
"There's something else though." Izuku spoke up, looking uncomfortable. Everyone turned their attention back to him. "She... she seemed like she knew me? I guess? I don't know, it was always really weird, but it was almost like she was trying to get me to slip up and admit I knew about the world she'd tell us about."
"What was her name?" Shoto asked, cocking his head to the side.
"Helix!" Uraraka said happily.
"Oh for fucksake." Katsuki grumbled.
Izuku narrowed his eyes at the spies. "You know her?"
The blond rested his head in his hands as he spoke, "Freakishly tall, short purple hair, bangs, glasses, and seems like she's had twenty too many monsters no matter how early it is?"
"So you do know her." Izuku mumbled.
The room went silent for a few moments before Shoto spoke up.
"That bitch."
