Ch 62

The sun had gone down and it was now dark. Inside the hospital visiting hours were over and the lights to a lot of the rooms had been shut off. One of these rooms was Izuku's. But just because the lights were off didn't mean he was asleep. No how could he sleep at a time like this. Mei had been kidnapped while he was laying around. So no he couldn't sleep. Instead Izuku laid in bed awake, waiting for the one he contacted to arrive.
That's when there was a creaking sound that Izuku heard coming from the door leading into the room. Now no one should be here at this time of night. So it was ether someone breaking in to most likely hurt him or it was his friend. Some how though it was actually both.
Izuku watched as the first to come in was just a regular thug. Izuku watched as the man slowly walked in with a sadistic grin on his face. To be honest though Izuku wasn't worried in the slightest. As Izuku watched him walk he was pretty sure that even paralyzed he could take him.


Thug: it's nothing personal kid, scarecrow just wants to be sure you don't get in the way.


The thug then pulled a knife out of his pocket. It was a switch blade that the thug wasted no time flipping out. However as soon as he did the wrist of the knife hand was grabbed from behind. Then immediately the thug was put in a rear choke. The thug struggled trying to break free but couldn't. After a few more seconds of struggling his body went limp. He was out cold.


???: hey kid.


Standing in the room now was the man that taught Izuku a lot about being a hero. Especially one that didn't have powers. This man was Iwao Oguro, better known as the vigilante Knuckle Duster.


Izuku: you're late.


Oguro: nice to see you too.


Izuku: have you seen the news?


Oguro: you mean about the kidnapping of the UA girl? Yeah I heard about her.


Izuku: that's why I asked you here.


Oguro: I'll do what I can but finding her is going to be hard. Pretty sure the police and even the underground heroes don't have a lead.


Izuku: don't worry about that, I don't need your help finding her.


Oguro: then what do you need help with?


Izuku: I need you to get me out of here.


Oguro: now hold on a second Izuku. You're injured so the best place for you right now is here in bed.


Izuku: I'm fine Knuckle Duster, I just need to get out of here.


Oguro: I don't know about this man.


Izuku: listen I know I can walk again, I know I can completely heal my legs but I can't do that here. If I'm going to do it I need to my own way. Know will you help me or not?


Knuckle Duster didn't say anything. Instead he just stared at Izuku with uncertainty written all over his face. Then he closed his eyes as he let out a sigh of defeat before looking at Izuku again.


Oguro: fine I'll help you.


Izuku: good, now we need to hurry.


Oguro: no kidding. I don't need the nurses catching me here and calling the police. I have enough trouble with them as is. I don't need them coming after me for kidnapping a patient from the hospital.


Izuku: I'm sure you'd manage.


Oguro: that's not the point.


Knuckle Duster walked over to the bed and help Izuku up. He then put Izuku on his back like he was giving him a piggy back ride. Lastly Knuckle Duster used a bed sheet to tie Izuku to his back so that he  was more secure.


Oguro: you definitely owe me big time for this.


Izuku: I'll remember that.


It was at that moment that the door to the hospital room opened. The one who opened it was one of the nurses that was working the night shift. She had been making her rounds checking up on all of the patients. When the nurse opened the door to Izuku's room and looked in she saw.......Izuku laying in his bed asleep. To the nurse there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary. She then closed the door and continued on.


Oguro: that was a close one.


Izuku: it's a good thing you wear black.


Thinks to his clothes Knuckle Duster avoided being spotted. Because he was in all black all he had to do was lay down in the bed with Izuku and be as still as he possibly could. This wouldn't have been his first plain but the nurse came in out of nowhere and there was no time to untie Izuku. So he just had to lay down with him and hope for the best.


Izuku: we should probably get going before the nurse comes back.


Oguro: right.


Deciding that it would be safer this way, Knuckle Duster began to climb out the window. With Izuku on his back he began to scale down the side of the hospital. Even though Knuckle Duster, like Izuku, was also quirkless climbing down the building was easy for him do to his strength.


Izuku: try not to fall.


Oguro: what are you worried about, we used to do this kind of stuff all the time during your training. Don't tell me that school made you soft.


Izuku: it's not that I'm going soft or that I'm worried, it's just that I don't want to end up even more paralyzed then I already am.


Oguro: you won't now would you just relax.


Izuku: I am relaxed.


Knuckle Duster continued to climb down the side of the building. He eventually reached the bottom in no time at all. Since Izuku's room was on the lower floors Knuckle Duster didn't have to climb down to far.


Oguro: now where too? My hide out?


Izuku: I was thinking we'd go to mine.


Oguro: what you got your own abandoned building or something?


Izuku: it's not a building. More like a cave.
