The air in the underground lab is thick with the metallic tang of blood and disinfectant. Flickering fluorescent lights cast harsh shadows on rows of cracked glass pods, each one containing a still figure. Deku's footsteps echo as he steps forward, his green eyes scanning the darkness. "So we're here to rescue the experiments?" he asks. All Might's massive form looms beside him. Midnight shifts uneasily. Aizawa kneels down, looking at the small girl at his side. "Eri, do you know where they put the other experiments?" She nods slowly, her tiny hand pointing toward a corridor you knows all too well.
