Ch 12: Unknown Darkness

                                    

                                          
Iida and Momo still had Tsukauchi on their minds. His hero costume was almost the exact same as the man in the photos. Though the two weren't about to just jump to conclusions. Tsukauchi was the one who had saved their asses after all. If it hadn't been for the emerald eyed teen then what might of happened to them?
                          
"What do you think we should do?" Momo asked as she rolled around on her bed. Iida sat at her desk in contemplation. It was obvious that the heroes had to know about this. The question here was why were they allowing it. All the students except for Bakugo had completely forgotten about the USJ incident. 
                          
"If we just ask the heroes they probably won't tell us anything seeing as they have kept this to themselves thus far..." Iida stated while trying to figure out the puzzle. Momo hummed in agreement knowing that Iida was right. 
                          
"...but why would they keep something like this from us?" Momo inquired as she finally sat up. She knew that her family kept a number of things from her for her own safety. Though sometimes it was hard to understand why they kept other things from her. Iida was the same, knowing that he was left in the dark in a number of situations. 
                          
"The file room is unlocked and it might have something about Tsukauchi..." Momo suggested earning a worried expression from Iida.
                          
".....are we sure, I want to know too but....but what if we find something that we are better off not knowing about....." Iida posed as he fidgeted in his seat. He was never comfortable sneaking around but if it meant he would be safer he didn't mind. Momo simply nodded and lead Iida down the twisting halls of her estate. As they were crossing through the main hall they were stopped by one of the butlers.
                          
"Young mistress!" The butler called out as he hurried to her side. He bowed his head respectively before continuing.
                          
"Mr. Todoroki came to see you, he is waiting in your study." The butler stated before being dismissed by Momo. The two teens scurried to Momo's study. Momo found it quite odd to have a visit from Todoroki. Yes they were engaged but he hadn't come to visit her of his own free will since they were young. When the two teens finally got to Momo's study Iida wanted to just wait outside the room. He knew of the arrangement between the two and felt awkward just sitting there while they conversed but Momo wasn't having that.
                          
"Todoroki what do I owe this pleasure?" Momo asked keeping things formal. Todoroki looked tired, like he hadn't slept in days.
                          
"Do....Do either one of you remember a room at my estate....it had a glass bird cage engraved on the door..." Shoto asked the nightmare still fresh in his mind. The same nightmare had been relentlessly tormenting him since the day his father asked him if he even wanted to be a hero. Momo looked at Todoroki in confusion. She remembered the door but she couldn't remember where she had seen it before. 
                          
"Why do you ask?" Momo pried as she took a seat followed by Iida. At the moment compared to Todoroki the undead looked like supermodels. There was seriously something wrong with the teen but the two had no idea what to do.
                          
"I keep having these stupid nightmares about when my mom was still at the estate and it always starts with me looking around in this room....I've had these nightmares before but it's never gotten like this with it continuously reoccurring night after night." Todoroki stated as he held his head in his hands trying to stop the pounding headache.
                          
"Has anything happened recently, maybe it has something to do with the villain attack?" Iida suggested as he started to think over what might be the cause. Todoroki looked hesitant but he hoped that he could trust these two. He just had to cross his fingers that they weren't like his sister.
                          
"You both know how close I am with my sister but...." Todoroki paused while biting his lower lip contemplating on whether he could tell them or not.
