"I pick-"
                          
I matched eyes with Denki for a moment. His eyes pleaded for help as his face was swollen and covered in blood.
                          
"Let Bakugo and Denki go. Leave Kirishima here."
                          
"You don't want to save your little plaything?"
                          
"I've made my decision. Now let them go." 
                          
"Retrieve Bakugo from his room." Toga skipped off as Dabi untied Denki. He could barely stand and I walked over to help him up. I put his arm around my shoulders and held him up while Bakugo walked in behind Toga. His face was clearly hit multiple times with bruises showing as proof. He had some blood on his clothes and they were also ripped in some spots, but he looked a lot better than Denki did.
                          
"What the fuck are you doing here?!"
                          
"Nevermind that. Here, Take Denki and go."
                          
"What about you and Kirishima?"
                          
"We won't be coming." I saw anger in his eyes. I knew this decision would make him angry, but this is the right one to make. I looked down at Denki who was clinging onto Bakugo. He started coughing and some blood came up. "Go Bakugo! He needs a hospital!"
                          
"Yes.... go Bakugo.... before I change my mind..." Bakugo glared at Shigaraki then huffed. He ran with Denki still clinging onto him and went through the door.
                          
"Now... let's move out before he has time to call the heros here..."
                          
"Where's Kirishima?"
                          
"You thought we would be dumb enough to bring him here? No, we left him at base." A portal from Kurogiri appeared before Shigaraki and he went through it. I was the last one through and we entered into a dark room. It looked like an old apartment, maybe an abandoned one. 
                          
"So.... do you wanna see your little plaything then?" 
                          
"Where is he?"
                          
"Toga will show you..."
                          
"Ooo, come with me! I think k you will absolutely love how he looks now! Definitely an upgrade!"
                          
She skipped down the hall and I followed her. She took a key out of her pocket and opened a door. I saw Kiri laying down in the center of the room, a pool of blood around him. I ran to him and rolled him over, laying his head in my lap. He wasn't moving a tears pooled in the corners of my eyes.
                          
"Kiri? Please, wake up E."
                          
"He's not dead. I would never kill something I'm not allowed to. I was given strict orders to keep him alive.... but... he may be passed out...."
                          
She closed the door and I could hear her footsteps get further away. I could only see with the moonlight coming through the window.
                          
"Oh E, what did she do to you?"
                          
"Hmm?" It was faint, but that was definitely him.
                          
"E, I'm here. Wake up please!"
                          
"Hmm.... where? (Y/n)?
                          
"Yes, it's me! I'm here!"
                          
"What, what are you doing here? You need to leave!" He slowly sat up and got a steady control of his breathing.
                          
"I can't... this was the only way to save you all... well, at least Denki and Bakugo."
                          
"What happened to them?"
                          
"I gave my life to the league in exchange for their lives."
                          
"You can't! You can't stay here!"
                          
"We won't be staying long E." I slowly lifted up my hand so that E could see what was in my hand.
                          
"How is a choker going to help us?"
