Toshinori was driving to Enji's house as fast as he could and running red lights. None of them could not care less about the cars honking at them. They need to get to Enji and the kids, and fast. None of them utter out a single word. The tension in the car was thick enough to cut a knife. After Toshinori told Shouta, Hizashi, and Nemuri everything that Izuku told him. From him, Shouto, and Katsuki looking through his office, meeting Valk, and all the way up till now. All of them were feeling a mix of emotions of anger, sadness, worry, and most of all, guilt. It mainly hurt Shouta that he couldn't notice any of this. All the signs from when they were younger, how on edge Enji always was wherever he goes to hang out with them when he wasn't allowed back when they were in highschool, and how Enji will only invite them to his house when Valk is gone on a business trip.
'How could I have not known..... why didn't Enji tell any of us...? Did he think we'll stop talking to him...?' Shouta thought to himself.
So many thoughts were going through his head. He has experienced plenty of times when Enji always thinks that they'll stop being friends, but he never knew it would go this far. All of them thought they show Enji many reasons that they won't stop being friends because of Valk. As much as they all wanted to kill Valk for all the shit he put Enji through, they only have one thing set in their mind and that is going to Enji's place as soon as possible. After a couple of minutes of Toshinori speeding through red lights and stop signs, they finally made it to Enji's house. Once Toshinori turned off his engine, he hurried up on the driver's door and jumped out of the vehicle. Shouta, Hizashi, and Nemuri soon followed right behind him and did the same thing as well. Toshinori rushed to the front gate and hurried up and typed in the code. Once the gate opened they all walked at a fast pace towards the front door as the gate door closed behind them. Nemuri was the first one to make towards the door and knocked loudly on the door but not loud enough for any one in the neighborhood to hear.
The door opens to reveal Katsuki with his eyes puffy and bloodshot red from crying. Katsuki doesn't remember how long he had been crying and he was still a little paranoid about whether Valk might come back.
"Bakugou, where are they?" Shouta asked him in a soft tone, not wanting to make Katsuki more paranoid than he already is as he was referring to Enji, Shouto, and Izuku.
It pained Shouta seeing one of his students like this especially when he knew that they'll blame themselves. Katsuki took a deep breath before answering Shouta. "T-their in the hallway in front of the bathroom...I-Izuku and Shouto said that Enji was bleeding ..." He said as his voice began to trail off and his eyes started to water, stopping him from finishing his sentence.
This is the first time that they heard Katsuki call Izuku and Shouto by their first names but they can bring that topic up some other time. Hizashi walks up to Katsuki and softly puts his hands on his shoulders. He looked at him with kind and soft eyes.
"Hey kiddo it's alright everything will be okay..." Hizashi said using a soft tone he always uses when Enji is having a breakdown. Toshinori went to where Shouto, Izuku, and Enji are while Shouta, Hizashi and Nemuri stayed with Katsuki.
Once he was in the hallway he saw Shouto pace back and forth nervously and Izuku checking on Enji injuries on his face. Shouto looks at the beginning of the hallway and sees Toshinori walking towards them.
"All Might you're here!" He said in a little bit of relief. Izuku looked up and was glad to see Toshinori, he let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding until now.
Toshinori knelt down next to Enji and saw the bruises on his face. "How long has he been unconscious??" He asked them while not taking his eyes off of Enji.
"F-for about ten to fifteen minutes maybe..." Izuku replied. "I don't know for sure.." He said truthfully while Shouto nodded his head agreeing with Izuku.
"Will he be okay All Might, right??" Shouto asked him.
Toshinori can hear Shouto's voice crack and can tell that he is worried about Enji. And If he's being honest he can't blame them for it.
"He'll be alright young Todoroki..." He stated.
"Now come on, we're going back to UA so Recovery Girl can have a look at him." He said as he picked Enji up and carried him in bridal style.
Toshinori walks back to the living room carrying Enji as Shouto and Izuku follow close behind him. Toshinori tries hard not to pay attention to the dry trail of blood on Enji's sweatpants and blood getting on his hands. The others see them walking in the living room. Shouta felt the color drain from his face once he saw the condition Enji was in. It hurt him to see his best friend in such a terrible condition and as much as he wanted to cry, Shouta kept his strong composure for his three students that had to witness all of it unfold.
"Alright kids, put your shoes on and head to the car and young Todoroki, Fuyumi will meet us at UA." Toshinori informed them.
Shouto, Katsuki, and Izuku got their shoes on and walked out the door behind Nemuri. Shouta was the last one out and locked the door behind him. Hizsahi grabbed the car keys from Toshinori and unlocked the doors. It's a good thing that Toshinori drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee to give everyone enough room in the backseat while he put Enji in the passenger seat.
Once he puts Enji in the passenger seat and everyone else gets in the vehicle, he puts Enji seatbelt on and closes the passenger door. Toshinori got in on the driver's side and got his keys from Hizashi, he started the engine and drove back to UA making sure he wasn't going too fast so Enji didn't hit his head on the window. He can worry about getting blood off hands and in the passenger seat some other time he just hopes that Enji's bleeding isn't as serious as he thinks it is. Now he have to plan a murder and perpare himself for a very worry Fuyumi once he see her at UA.
----—-
Once Rumi told Fuyumi what happened she immediately told her to come pick her. She couldn't keep herself together as soon as she got in the car, Fuyumi bailed her eyes out as Rumi tried to calm her down at least a little so she could call Natsuo and tell him what's going on. Which soon turned out to be a mistake since she and Natsuo were going back and forth because he thinks that Enji is lying and only doing this for attention. Truth be told Fuyumi felt more hurt than angry at him when he said that.
'Do he really hates dad that much to think that he just made all of this up...?' Fuyumi thought to herself in disbelief and not mentally not in the right mind to argue with Natsuo right now.
Rumi, having had enough of hearing Natsuo bullshit especially when Fuyumi is not in the right mind set, she grabs the phone from Fuyumi and hangs up the phone while still driving with the other hand. Fuyumi looked at her as she handed her back her phone.
"You're stressed out enough Yumi I don't want Natsuo bullshit to make it worse.." Rumi stated as she pulled into the UA parking lot.
They both got out of the car and Fuyumi hurried towards UA gates using her visitor card to open the gate. Rumi followed right behind her, not bothering to tell her to slow down or wait up. She doesn't blame Fuyumi for being worried about Enji, hell she worried about him her damn self.
'Fuck I hope that Enji is okay...' She thought to herself as she walked into UA heading towards Recovery Girl informority room.
Once they make it to the hallway, Recovery Girl is located, Fuyumi sees Shotuo, Izuku, and Katsuki sitting down in the chairs outside the hallway. She ran towards them with tears running down her face.
"SHOUTO! IZUKU! KATSUKI!!" She yelled out their names so they could hear her. The three boys turned their heads in the direction of hearing their name being called and saw Fuyumi running towards them.
In sync they got up out of their seats and ran towards Fuyumi. "YUMI!!" The three boys yelled in unison as they embarrassed Fuyumi in a bone crushing hug. Rumi got next to them and smiled seeing them hugging each other until suddenly she was pulled into the hug.
Of course Rumi hugged them back knowing that they are not letting go anytime soon and besides she knows that all of them needed this moment. They all stayed like this in silence until Fuyumi pulled away slightly and broke the silence.
"How's dad doing....?" She asked the boys softly. Her anxiety was through the roof and she just wanted to know if Enji injuries weren't too serious.
"All Might is with him and Recovery Girl just in case he wakes up." Izuku informed her. "Recovery Girl said that she'll hopefully only have to heal him twice."
At that moment Fuyumi felt relief washes over her with the information she has been told. Knowing that Enji will be okay helps ease her anxiety a little. But she couldn't help feeling a little guilty about this whole situation, and everyone else felt the same way. It gave them all questions that needed answers yet still not even close to getting to the bottom of this.
"I-is Natsuo coming...?" Shouto asked Fuyumi and Rumi.
He hope the Natsuo can at least put his stupid grudge aside and come here to see Enji. Fuyumi remembers the conversation she had on the phone with Natsuo, she doesn't want to tell them that Natsuo refuses to come and visit if Enji is alright. Or the fact that he believes that Enji made all of this up for attention and convenience everyone to go along with it. Fuyumi doesn't want to put any more stress on the boys than they already have.
"He's.....just needs a little more time...I'm sure he'll come around soon.." Rumi stated to the boys.
Shouto, Izuku, and Katsuki all nodded their heads showing Rumi that they understand. They all know how Natsuo is and that he won't just visit Enji even if was seriously injured. Suddenly they heard the door open from Recovery Girl medical infirmary and they looked and saw Toshinori walking out. He looks and sees that Fuyumi and Rumi had made it.
"Ah Fuyumi, Rumi you two made it." Toshinori said as a ghost smile was cast on his face.
Rumi grins slightly and asks. "Yeah, how's Enji doin?"
Toshinori ran his fingers through his hair and sighed softly but mostly in relief. "Some of his wounds and bruises are healed. Chiyo said she'll heal him a second time once he is awake and he has enough energy." He explained to them.
"And the bleeding....?" Katsuki asked him softly, so soft that almost none of them heard him for a second.
No one said a word for a moment, as the tension slowly built up and the silence was almost unbearable. It wasn't until Toshinori finally decided to say something that set everyone's nerves at ease a little.
"She was able to stop the bleeding and thankfully he won't have any serious or permanent injuries." He stated.
Katsuki felt glad to hear that, they all were knowing that Enji will be okay and they most of all happy to keep hearing good news. Now they just need to think of a plan to keep Enji safe and away from Valk. Shouto wanted to find out what the journals say and fast. He also was planning on finding more about Enji's childhood and a background on Valk. He'll tell Katsuki and Izuku about it later and show the others what the three of them have found so far. They all have been on a roller coaster of emotions and they want answers to understand just what Enji have been hiding from them and why. But for now they'll just have to wait until Enji wakes up and hopefully let him know that they are there for him.

Rage. That's all what Natsuo felt for that entire day was nothing but rage after that phone call with Fuyumi. He didn't care that she hung up, in fact he wasn't mad at Fuyumi. No, he was mad at no one but Enji for starting the bullshit.
'That fucking sick bastrad..' He thought to himself inrage at the idea that Enji not only made up a sick fucking story but he also got Shouto and his friends to go along with it.
Natsuo couldn't believe that Enji would go this far for attention and especially making a sick and twisted story. Or at least that is what he believes is true and doesn't want to be told otherwise. In his eyes he thinks that Enji is being who he truly is a monster and trying to force them to stay and forgive him.
It's a good thing he was back in his dorm when Fuyumi called him. Natsuo doesn't want Rei to know what 'sickening' idea Enji came up with. But the thing is Natsuo doesn't have any evidence that Enji is making all of this up nor can he keep believing this forever for the truth is only beginning to rise to the surface.

'Somethings not right.....' Touya thought to himself as he was staring into space while he was sitting on the couch at Keigo's place.
He was hanging out there while Toga and the rest went to handle something that Touya didn't know because he wasn't paying attention and he didn't want to be at the hideout alone. But that didn't change this weird feeling that his having that something is wrong. He doesn't know why but it's bothering him and he wants to figure out why.
*SLAMMED*
Touya almost jumped out of his skin from hearing the front door slam open. He looks in the direction and sees Keigo runs in the front from towards him with tears running down his face. Touya got up off the couch and went towards Keigo and put his hands on his shoulders.
"Hey hey Keigo calm down what happened?!" He asked the crying bird with concern in his voice.
It took Keigo a good solid five minutes before he could say anything but when he finally did, Touya felt his heart drop to his stomach.
"I-it's Enji he's hurt...." Keigo manages to say between his airy sobs. He found out after his patrol from Rumi about what happened to Enji and before he knew it he hurried and flew over here to Touya. Keigo felt like his world was trembling down after what happened to his idol, the man he looked up to since he was a kid.
Touya felt a wave of mixed emotions but tried to calm himself so he didn't scare Keigo. "I-it's alright Kei just tell me what happened okay?" He asked him.
Keigo only nodded and told Touya what had happened and everything went downhill from there but it wasn't an argument of such. No but a murder plan and a plan to get Enji far away from Valk that began to take place.
