[ There's plenty of cringe to go through already, and his accounts are being invaded with people hoping he's okay. Nobody gloating or taking responsibility, though, and the most serious thing on said social media whore's feed (between all the selfies) is discussing support items for people with deliberating quirks. He's a staunch advocate for making those things accessible to everyone, including the ones that want to be heroes.
Unless he's kidnapped for being pretty and funny, it's not the social media.
The police and others are focusing on the work ahead of them again, letting the two young heroes make their own plans on how to proceed. Sero quiets down as they talk about the press and the ideas of why Chargebolt should still be alive. Sero fully believes in it, but there's no stopping the way his gut feels cold. ]
"Considering that blood splatter, he was probably knocked over the head. Someone could have stabbed him, sure, but he would have shocked them. So most likely he was knocked out... how could he have tossed the thing? I mean, it led you in the right direction, didn't it?"
[ Maybe he somehow managed. Maybe someone was helping them. He's willing to believe that. Snapping some tape out to catch on to Dynamight, they set off into the sky.
The service road joins up with the main road about 400 yards down, and depending on the direction the garbage truck was headed towards Shizuoka city nearby or out to the larger highway. The city is the most likely, which is quickly backed up by the support team's surveillance.
It's lucky that Japan has such a wide net of cameras. ]
[And that's why he gave the task to Kirishima and Ashido. He certainly doesn't want to deal with all that shit. Nice to know people are wishing him well and hoping he's okay. Some might want to help with the investigation, but that'll never be a wanted thing when it comes to criminal activity. The rest of it is what he wants them to look for. Though Bakugou's 50/50 on whether or not Kaminari would tell him he has a stalker or a creeper on his account. Mostly because his boyfriend's the kind to... you know... explosively punch someone out who pops his boyfriend on the ass.
Anyways, those two'll know what to look for when it comes to red flags. Or they can outsource it to some of the media team.]
Unless they didn't knock him out and could just silence him.
[Which didn't explain why the blood splatter wasn't more if Kaminari was thrashing around. Somehow between the fucked up failsafe room and the area out the back, Kaminari lost the visor. Whether it was on purpose or on accident's the big question. Doesn't entirely help them, but...]
They might have thought it had a tracker in it, so got rid of it since it was cracked. The rest of his gear could be pawned or broken down for parts, so it makes sense they kept that if they had a way to disable the tracker inside.
[Talking himself through this logically helps keep him focused and not let his emotions rage too far out of control. Another reason why he told Sero to come along with him. And he figured the service road would join with the main road. With either direction possible. But just as he's about to start to scour the area, the surveillance team comes through for them.]
Shizuoka.
[And head's that way. Though it might be a far cry, he's keeping lower to the ground, looking for any possible blood stains. A ridiculous feat going at this speed, but... who knows. Also any garbage trucks.]
[ They'll handle it well enough. Ashido is just as much of a social media butterfly, she knows what to look for, and Kirishima has a lot of downtime being on a train. As for if a certain electric blonde would have told his boyfriend about stalkers or creeps? Absolutely. It's not like they could be blown up over the internet, and it's good to know.
Exactly in cases like these. Chargebolt might be known as 'dumb', but not socially. He weaves that like a master.
Flying and hanging on (and sometimes swinging from place to place) makes it hard to talk for Sero, since he's using more of his body to move - but the comms work well enough. ]
Silence him and stop his quirk from frying the attacker at the same time? Nah man, I'm still on the knocked-out theory. Unless they drugged him, but that doesn't explain the blood.
[ They're directed to the city, which is both good and bad. There's a lot of traffic and a lot of garbage trucks. ]
Weren't you and Deku born in this prefecture? Were you ever in the city?
[It's more Ashido's help he's counting on, but he wants Kirishima to have something to do while he travels rather than fret about everything he's hearing on the news. Give him a focus point, set him to task to help, and keep him busy as he moves. The fact Kaminari has never told his boyfriend about having a stalker or a creeper is a good indication that's probably not the case here. There'd be no one to immediately look at for suspicion.
Leave the social shit to him; Katsuki's glad Denki handles that kind of crap. He doesn't even deal with his own website, despite Best Jeanist's agency setting one up for him. (Kaminari probably has to handle it.)
One of those "yeah you do it, don't care" moments in Bakugou's life.
That's why there's comms, Sero. Ignore the occasional "boom" that happens nearby and in the link.]
Rubber. Insulated bindings. Grounding mats. There's a lot of ways to shut him up and kill his voltage at the same time. [Bakugou's still on the KO theory as well, mostly due to the bloodstain at head height on the walls. And the visor.] The fact they were in the building after he got everyone out says they were either there before or came in while no one was looking.
[CAUSE THE FUCKING PERIMETER WASN'T SET UP LIKE IT WAS FUCKING SUPPOSED TO, GODDAMMIT!!]
Yeah and yeah. [Meaning he'll know his way around once they get directs and landmarks. Bakugou lands atop one of the taller buildings nearby, scanning the glowing streets and dark rooftops below.] Why would they take him? Quirk. Ransom. Hostage. Murder. Message. Trade. Gotta be one of those six.
[ Thoughtful in his own way, as always. Helping his friends not worry themselves to death even while being the one with the most to lose.
Kaminari doesn't believe in secrets unless they're funny or he has something to tease about. They've been through enough shit already, so he's not hiding anything that could be a problem. He'll just block and move on if he has to; he does the same with the few things Bakugou has online.
Mostly it's selfies with the boyfriend, because ever since they were going loudly public with their relationship, the electric hero might have something of a thing about showing off his man. Both because he's happy and he's a little bit jealous sometimes. ]
"You know, it might not even be his blood."
[ Sero muses as he lands next to Bakugou, checking the other side. ]
"...I don't think murder. They would have killed him already, and what would the motive even be for that? I think either quirk or hostage. Maybe ransom, but I'm pretty sure the Commission doesn't do that no matter how better it is, now."
Edited 2022-07-20 02:32 (UTC)
honestly love the last few icons have been kaminari fighting
[Yeah, yeah. You can praise him later. Staying off the social media section has certainly been a good decision in his life. He doesn't have the distraction and doesn't care for the flood of junk that would otherwise be there. Most of his time spent on his phone is checking the news or things he's interested in, occasionally texting or calling people for short messages. Doesn't have time for that social media crap. Unless Kaminari wants to bring something funny or cool. to his attention that he found on one.
Bakugou's not all that restricting with the selfies either, trusting his boyfriend not to put up something embarrassing or personal (without knowing the fatal consequences, of course). It's not like he's got too much a problem with occasionally being shown off. He won't admit it, but he likes the attention in small doses.]
Maybe not, but Kaminari's not one to draw blood if he can help it.
[Plus it was on his visor as as well and the height of it on the wall was close to Denki's height. Still, he's far more likely to electrocute someone than bash them hard enough to spray red like that...]
Right. Another reason it's stupid the media's pushing for "death" already. [He frowns at the other ideas. Quirk or Hostage. Ransom would be stupid because the money would be recovered easily after paying.] A ransom would be pointless unless they planned to double cross at the end.
[ Every selfie and cute candid shot helps that popularity, too! Dynamight focusing on the most cases and saving everyone to be #1 is good and all, but showing him in a more domestic setting with a loving boyfriend kind of boosts his image. Plus the pic of them flying over the city got over two million likes!
...possibly because Chargebolt looks like he's screaming his lungs out. ]
"Yeah, I know. Things happen, though."
[ Sero still agrees, however. Kaminari doesn't really have the stomach for drawing blood, especially not like that. Zapping them is more likely. ]
"Hostage for what, though? Are they planning a bigger stunt?"
[ ...and why Denki, in that case? Even if he's a lesser ranked hero just starting out, he's not the easiest target... and they were definitely aiming for him.
There's no sign of the garbage truck with the false plates from their position, even if Sero swoops down to check every one they see. Surveillance is mentioning it going further into the city, and then it's quiet for a moment. ]
"Dynamight, Cellophane. We've lost visual of the truck. It headed down an alleyway without cameras to access, and has not appeared again."
[ They quickly send the street name and the coordinates. ]
[Looking "cute" is not what he fucking wants people to know him as, dammit! He's cool! Awesome! Dangerous! Victorious! Not "cute"! And yet 'somehow' those images continue to make their way into the world. Probably because in certain aspects, Bakugou can't say 'no' to his boyfriend. Growling out a "fine" after vetting the lesser of three evils when it comes to posting pictures.
The flight over the city had been fun. How Kaminari didn't lose his phone was a miracle.]
So what. There was only that spot and some on his visor. No one's bashing open fucking temples or stabbing knives.
[There wasn't a sign of some major struggle. A quick battle was what Bakugou expected happened. The further question only makes him furrow his brows more, glaring into the night.]
That or they think they can use him as some kinda... piece for something.
[A battery, a shield, a bargaining chip, some insurance. And they would know that taking Kaminari would get a number of eyes from Class 1-A on them. They still tend to look out for each other and take shit personally when someone goes after one of them. Don't go through a damn war together with all that social upheaval the way they did and not come out of it tight knit.]
Fuck, finally.
[A street name and coordinates. While he doesn't try to stop Cellophane's sweeping checks, Dynamight figures it's a waste of time and energy. Shooting into the dark won't help outside of incredible luck. But once he's got those two things...]
We're going, Scotch!
[And takes off into the air again, blasting towards the coordinates and street. Denki, you better be fucking alive or I swear I'll drag you back down from Heaven myself!]
[ He's the cute one! Bakugou is the hot accessory! Kaminari does 'ask' about uploading them though, which mostly means whining and pouts. Maybe some sexual promises. Or just outright challenges. The electric hero knows how to make his man fold. ]
"A piece. Like this kidnapping chess they're playing."
[ Sero says with a frown. He keeps checking garbage trucks because what if, but he knows it's waste of time. He just needs to do something or he'll crawl out of his skin. The coordinates coming through are a blessing, and he snaps his elbow out to tape himself to Dynamight again so they can take off.
Even with the quick soaring, it still takes them seven or so minutes to get to the right alley. Unfortunately it's not a small backside one-way thing, but an alley with fair amount of passage and cars driving by. The garbage truck is neatly parked to the side, so Sero swiftly swings down to tie the doors shut just in case anyone tried to make a run for it.
[Yeah but a picture with Bakugou in it that's tagged "cute" still sends a message! RAWR! Granted, he shoots himself in the foot cause he does allow them to go online. And/or doesn't demand Kaminari take any down that he puts up anyways. Whining and pouting are cheating and both of them fucking know it... oy, don't cajole embarrassing photos of him via sex and challenges! Brat.]
Guess you could look at it that way. Could use him as a shield, experiment, battery, bargain... Whatever. They know he's valuable.
[For his Quirk, for his safety, for his friendship, no one kidnaps a hero at random or in some void. There's always a reason behind it. A brief grunt as tape sticks to his back and he slams an explosion in place to brace himself as Sero pulls, giving the other hero the resistance needed to launch himself. It's a belay system they've got going on.
No, he doesn't expect to find anyone there when they arrive. But at least they've found the location the truck was last spotted, so that's progress. Except...]
FUCK! [This isn't some shitty back alley dead end! It's a full way busy street! At least the damn truck's there and Bakugou lands nearby while Sero preemptively seals the doors shut. Good thought, no comment, but pointless in result. They wouldn't still be here unless this was the place they wanted to make their final stand.]
OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T COMPACT HIM, YOU SHIT!
[He says. But that lie of assumption might be a cracked facade as Dynamight doesn't even wait to get inside and use the controls, but rather grabs the back of the garbage truck's door and rips the entire thing open if he has to. Hauls the metal up and shoves his face into his collar to avoid the smell that's gonna hit him full in the nose.]
[ Sero kind of wishes he would not be so damn blunt at times, shutting his mouth before he shoves his foot all the way up to the knee into it. Instead he cuts his tape off to start going through the front while the angry blonde tries to the compactor in the back apart. Thankfully there's a lever that easily opens it, so at least there was no need for explosions.
The smell is not pleasant, but not as horrible as it could be. There's no trash in the truck - instead there's a bunch of old tires and a mesh cage made from some form of metal. Its door is closed, but it's seemingly unlocked since the padlock is on the floor. Inside are what looks like a pile of clothes. A closer look reveals that it's Chargebolt's hero suit and equipment, sans a trademark choker. Even his underwear, so someone stripped him completely - possibly to avoid any bugs.
There's a little bit of blood on the floor of the mesh cage, but not enough to suggest a serious wound. ]
"You find anything?"
[ The taller hero asks from the front, just as the support team announces that the investigators and police are about five minutes away. If Dynamight opens the mesh cage's door, they'll also report that Chargebolt's comm and trackers are back on.
Once again it doesn't look great - the kidnappers could have changed vehicles here, and fully disappeared into the city. ]
[Yeah, he's over here being a muscle-bound angry idiot, prying the compactor back open with a glare and bared teeth, fighting against logical gear workings and everything. Only for Sero to climb inside and pull a fucking lever, whereupon Bakugou finds himself suddenly going straight up via his arm. A brief yelp before the tape-dispensing hero gets cussed out for almost ripping his damn shoulder out of place.
That's what you get for being more effective than one of the most effective heroes out there, Sero!
Bakugou drops to his feet, bouncing off the ledge of the garbage truck's hold, still not exactly keen on wading into a bunch of compacted garbage to look for someone who's likely not even there. But lucky for him, there's no trash. Just... tires. That gets him climbing inside immediately, igniting a small cluster burst in his hand to illuminate the back. Shit... From Kaminari's hero costume to rubber to some kind of cage made of metal. He glances at the floor of the cage, wondering if there's some kind of grounding pad there to keep the guy from electrifying the entire truck. Or if the tires were handling that (assumption). Couldn't have just been the tires, since he could still get a damn finger out on the metal unless his juice was completely drained.
There's... a far more personal level of rage at seeing his boyfriend's underwear... He knows it's to avoid wires or bugs, but... Bakugou shoves the thoughts out of his head.]
Yeah. There's a whole jury-rigged setup to keep him captured in here. This was fucking planned a long ways out.
[And quickly relays what he found into the comm, efficient detailed curtness included. He does open the mesh cage, only to growl about the report of Chargebolt's comm and tracker going online. Of course they are. He's fucking looking at them. Against his temptations, he avoids moving anything beyond the cage door. Leave that for the inspectors.]
They had to have some way to keep him from electrocuting everything in here, tires be damned. So either he was unconscious or drained or his Quirk was cancelled...
[ Nobody's gonna fault him for being a musclehead right now, he's earned it. It's just easier and leaves more clues for the investigators if things aren't torn apart or blow up.
At the mention of the jury-rigged thing, Sero sticks his head out of the front. These people definitely went hard on this. ]
"Shit, really?"
[ Sero makes his may to the back and climbs in, only to do an impressed whistle between his teeth. ]
"They put him in a whole-ass Faraday cage? That blocks all electrical signals and it protects from electricity. You can stand in one and have it shocked by lightning and it will shield you."
[ Thank you, random game trivia. ]
"So no matter what trackers he might have on him, they would all be useless. Protect the truck from his quirk, too. Then they probably switched cars... fuck."
[He might fault himself later for the occasional lapse in control here and there, but this event's personal beyond heroics and his concern is wrestling with his professionalism. Some might think he should stay off the case, due to his connection to it, but no one's going to voice that... Boom.]
No I'm shitting you. Yes really!
[Don't waste his time being flabbergasted, dammit! (He may have to somewhatkindapologize to Sero later for snarling at him throughout this mission, but that's for later.]
Tsk, wow, you recognized it. [Gritting his teeth and growling cause he forgot the official name for it despite knowing the function of said cage. Not letting Sero realize he momentarily one-upped him.] Yeah but if the lightning's coming from the inside out...
[Even if Kaminari could get so much as one finger out to touch the floor... well that's on a rubber mat, so never-fucking-mind; they took the simple precaution too. Probably also there to cushion the cage so it wouldn't bump around inside the back of the truck. Because garbage trucks are the smoothest of rides.]
The video only saw it turn down this alley, but it's not a dead end...
[He looks up the sides of the alley. Depending on the buildings, maybe someone in the buildings heard or saw something from looking out the window. Probably no luck on tire tracks leading out of the alley one way or another.]
[ If someone was stupid enough to tell him he was off the case, not even All Might could save them from the Bakusquad (and probably Bakugou himself). 1-A take care of their friends, and especially their little group.
Plus why waste the work when Dynamight knows Chargebolt the best?
Sero isn't bothered by all the outbursts and snapping, he kind of understands it. He'll probably accept an apology, but it's not like he expected his friend to be friendly while this was going on. ]
"It works on blocking things from the inside, too. If he even woke up, I feel like there would be more of a struggle to get him out if he was awake."
[ That would take precious minutes off of getting out of the truck and get into another car.
The buildings on the sides seem to be offices, with one side completely covered with a billboard and no windows. The other side has windows but looks like it's dark, but that doesn't mean there aren't people inside that might have seen something.
The police arrives just as Sero jumps out of the garbage truck as well, and starts putting up a perimeter, tape and photos. ]
[They likely know this and thus are not saying shit about keeping them off the case. Even Kirishima's going by train, despite being hours away. They've been through enough of kidnappings from their class already, and Bakugou's even more pissed because he knows what it's like to be kidnapped and it fucking sucks!
It's so tempting to vent his anger on the cage, so he gets out of the garbage truck and hangs off to the side to avoid putting his damn foot through the metal sides. Didn't seem like the cage itself was very roughed up either, so either Kaminari didn't try to get out of it or was prevented from making the effort.]
Unless they had a reason to get his cooperation.
[Whether he was still groggy from the head blow, was threatened to behave, or was already restrained, no fucking clue. The lack of concrete details helping in this case are frustrating, but... that's kind of the damn point of a kidnapping. Not to leave as many clues as possible.
Noticing the office building as the only viable target, Bakugou makes that his next target when the police arrive. He joins up with Sero as the other hero jumps out of the truck.]
Yeah. When you're done, let look inside and see if anyone might've seen something.
[No clue if anyone's in the dark building or not... but given the case around them, Bakugou's opting not to go in there alone.]
[ There's a lot of their hero friends that are checking in on how things are going, but they stay off the comms and talk to Jeanist and Eraserhead instead. There's a risk of all of them coming to help eventually, but for now it's their close-knit ones.
Sero looks back at Bakugou as 'cooperation' is mentioned and frowns. ]
"You don't think they're stupid enough to try doing what the LoV did to you? Trying to make him join them."
[ Not that Chargebolt would, but that's also a possible motive. Less so than the others, but still.
The tape hero nods at the go-ahead and then walks over to the police to fill them in on what they found. He mentions the cage and the possible switch of cars, asking them to check cameras for all cars that drove through. Anything that they can find.
Another crowd is gathering, of course, curious bystanders wondering what's going on and then seeing heroes. The press probably isn't far away, either.
By now it's been nearly three and a half hours since Chargebolt disappeared. ]
[So long as they don't clutter up the radio waves with useless worry and chatter, Bakugou won't end up yelling at them to shut the fuck up and focus on the mission. He knows it's going to ripple through the group sooner or later. The question about the LoV's intention earns a bark of a laugh and the blonde dismisses it immediately.]
If they're that stupid, we don't have to worry about shit.
[No, he highly doubts they want Kaminari to join them, or even think they can get him to do so. If anything, they want his Quirk and his connections to their advantage. Is his assumption at least.
Bakugou agrees with the monitoring decision. Checking any cars that left (or entered) the alley after the garbage truck went inside it. Maybe one of the cars had a fucked up license plate? Speaking of... how the hell did these people even get a garbage truck in the first place? Dynamight brings that up. Either the original drivers were taken out, or these people conned their way into getting a truck. And ripped off the plate or covered it up or bribed someone. Waste Management should be called to come identify the garbage truck and report any that were stolen or missing for the day and who the people were whose drove it last.
Katsuki tries calling Denki cellphone as he heads for the building, checking inside for occupants that might've seen or heard something going on outside the windows. Of course, if it's empty, then yeah, he'll head back out.]
[ That's why they're getting all their info from those two rather than messing up the system. Even the chaotic ones know better... and honestly the most chaotic ones are on the scene or on the way already.
The police and support team agree to check the cars and other things that might have entered and/or left the alley, and checking with Waste Management as well. It's going to take a bit longer since the alley is fairly busy, but this is still currently the highest priority.
Police also inform the two heroes that while they have not finished any DNA analysis yet, the blood type on the splatter in the power station was the same as Chargebolt's. It's not too much help since it's one of the most common blood types, but it's something.
Denki's cellphone is quiet. Turned off, smashed... who knows?
Once done reporting to the others, Cellophane joins up with Dynamight again to check the building. A sign on the door says that it is closed for remodeling, with a timeline explaining when they open again. It's in several days. Still, the door is opened by the police and they can go through the place, floor by floor.
Nothing.
Going back out again reveals that the press has arrived, and this time they're less scared and/or respectful. ]
"Dynamight! Dynamight! What are your thoughts on this case? Is Chargebolt still alive? Does Chargebolt's family know? Was he taken to blackmail you? What do you want to say to the villains if they're listening?"
[ Questions are raining down on the explosive here, and some even try to get Sero's opinion on it all, which he completely ignores in favor to update the police again. ]
[He can't expect them to produce answers immediately. What he can expect is to find more leads, more guesses, more clues that will help pinpoint something they can actually use. They found out Chargebolt was kidnapped, found out the garbage truck was used, it'd been planned, a Faraday cage involved, and eliminated a lot of other distractions as well. More and more things to put the pressure on to try and track down who these idiots are.
Blood test doesn't tell him much; whether it was Chargebolt that got smacked or one of the thugs, there's not enough blood to suggest it was a serious injury. So that's at least... something positive. Dynamight scowls at the returned signal. Long shot, but no, he didn't expect to get his boyfriend's phone online.
Into the building, looking for anything that might help. The closed sign doesn't offer any real suggestion of help, but it's just one more stone to check and one more dead end to throw over their shoulder. Bakugou goes from floor to floor, checking even the roof top and any windows that might've been close to the alley scene. Nothing... He leaves the area irritated and less patient.
Doesn't help the press is here and being an intrusive piece of shit.]
He's alive. Now fuck off.
[That's all he's going to give them, stalking past the snapping bulbs and microphones thrust into their space. Tsk, now what. They've exhausted most of their immediate actions outside of simply running around and looking with their eyes. The garbage truck is been checked, videos of the alley entrances reviewed, the powerplant staff questioned.]
Until they get back to us with videos, we're running blind at this point.
[ All the things these people had planned was crazy. Drawing him in with the one thing only an electric hero could help with, breaking the failsafe, the garbage truck stolen and remodeled with the cage... fuck, even this alley's office being closed. It's weeks of planning for one young hero, and for what? Cheaper utility bills?
Police are bagging the hero costume into evidence, pulling random Denki shit out of the pockets - a few candies, keys, a power bank, his hero license, receipts, explosion-lightning earrings, and a tiny pikachu squishie to occupy his hands when he's concentrating. Still no sign of his choker, though.
Sero claps Bakugou's shoulder at the mention of running blind, out of ideas as well. All they could do was hope that the surveillance caught something after going through the cars going past. ]
"RR is about to arrive at the train station, I'm gonna ask a driver to pick him up. Pinky's almost here, too. There's a local agency that's willing to loan us their services, and a hotel right by."
[ Nobody's going home right now, especially not them... but they can't exactly just stand here. ]
[Not to mention they got an alley that didn't have direct camera access. Not that there aren't a lot of those, but they still took the pains to cover up the drop off/trade off of Chargebolt. This wasn't a run-of-the-mill kidnapping. That makes it a lot worse in terms of having to deal with finding and stopping it. Katsuki wants to say it's something as stupid as cheaper electric, but...
Denki, why the hell do you have candies and receipts in your hero costume pockets?! Katsuki narrows his eyes at the earrings, but can't take them like he wants. The lack of his choker, however, still bothers him. Did they miss it? Did Kaminari throw it out the window somehow? Was it left in the garbage truck? Did the kidnappers take it with them? Why the fuck didn't they put a tracker in his goddamn collar?!
Katsuki growls when Sero's hand claps on his shoulder, bearing with it for a few seconds before shrugging it off with a huff. They were stuck with the surveillance cameras, waiting to see what left the alleyway. It shouldn't be entirely difficult? Wait to see a car go in and then not come out for a questionable amount of time. There was nothing in the alley that would suggest it as a place to stop in the blind spot outside of shady business like this. And no one in the office building meant there was no one "officially" that would be meeting someone there for business related to that office building. So... logically... fuck.]
Rough up some lowlifes until they give us some fucking useful information.
[Despite the fact that they can't. They're not vigilantes. They can't go out and beat up some thugs to drag potential information out of them. But that doesn't stop Katsuki from wanting to do that, dammit. The local agency and the hotel sound useful right now, with Eijirou and Mina coming soon enough.]
I'm gonna take a few rounds on the city. See if there's any electrical areas fucking up.
[ Candies are for pick-me-ups and scared kids! The receipts he has less of an explanation for, honestly. It's not like he does the agency bookkeeping or anything, he just tends to keep them. Unfortunately those beloved earrings go in an evidence bag, and Denki probably forgot to put them on due to the emergency situation.
Sero doesn't mind the way Bakugou growls like and angry dog and then eventually pulls away, instead starting to coordinate the pickup of their squad members. While it should not be too hard to find out what car might have stopped, it's a busy place and a lot of cars to go through, run plates and find the owners or a fake plate.
They might just have thrown him into a moving car, too.
The comment about roughing up some lowlifes earns a bit of a look from the tall hero, but he's honestly half into it when it comes to his friends. Sadly they have to be pillars of the community and not beating up people for answers.
The second suggestion is more acceptable... if less cathartic. ]
"Alright. I'll set up everyone at the agency - it's CrissCross Agency, it's the one with the big 'X' - and get us some rooms. Keep me updated over comms, ok?"
[So long as they can get them out of the evidence bag later. Katsuki won't let them get stored away forever. The receipts are less curious about "what" and more curious about why Denki was going shopping in his hero costume... And god, no one's going to let Kaminari do any kind of bookkeeping. Unless it's for the current health of their electrical power.
True, but most cars would go in and leave. Stopping to deal with a fucking garbage truck and a caged hero would take, should take, more time. Plus... that's a fucking garbage truck. That'd back up traffic if it stopped on an alley street... It's a lead regardless and Bakugou'll communicate those thoughts to anyone on the research team he's in communication with.
He's... not going to think about them chucking Kaminari out of his Faraday cage, out the back of the garbage truck, and into a car or truck driving on by. Talk about coordination.
Yeah. One red eyes slides towards Hanta when he says it, if only to gauge his reaction and make himself feel better for wanting to do such a thing. Then goes back to his own focus efforts. He might not be doing anything "useful" with some random scouting, but it's better than sitting around waiting and doing nothing until a clue is hit upon.]
Yeah. I'll be in touch. [He'll leave Sero to get everything arranged. With nothing else to do here, Dynamight blasts off and takes to the skies again, scouring the city for any lights that might be flickering, running brighter than normal, or perhaps some electric grids of power plants. Who the fuck knows.]
[ Those will most likely returned after being processed, or held until the victim is found again. As for shopping in hero costumes... sometimes you want a bottle of water or something after your shift is over! He's not buying a couch while on patrol, promise.
While Dynamight heads to the sky to search for something, the rest of the Bakusquad gather up at the offered Agency to plan their own searches, be it physical or online. So far RR and Pinky has not found anything on the Chargebolt social media aside from the normal whackos, and it honestly took forever since Denki had his Chargebolt Instagram and Twitter since UA.
They send that little but ultimately useless info to the comms, all while the support team work their asses off to help forensics with anything they can.
All of that, and there's still nothing. Hours pass and it's getting dark. Eight hours passed since Chargebolt disappeared. ]

Unless he's kidnapped for being pretty and funny, it's not the social media.
The police and others are focusing on the work ahead of them again, letting the two young heroes make their own plans on how to proceed. Sero quiets down as they talk about the press and the ideas of why Chargebolt should still be alive. Sero fully believes in it, but there's no stopping the way his gut feels cold. ]
"Considering that blood splatter, he was probably knocked over the head. Someone could have stabbed him, sure, but he would have shocked them. So most likely he was knocked out... how could he have tossed the thing? I mean, it led you in the right direction, didn't it?"
[ Maybe he somehow managed. Maybe someone was helping them. He's willing to believe that. Snapping some tape out to catch on to Dynamight, they set off into the sky.
The service road joins up with the main road about 400 yards down, and depending on the direction the garbage truck was headed towards Shizuoka city nearby or out to the larger highway. The city is the most likely, which is quickly backed up by the support team's surveillance.
It's lucky that Japan has such a wide net of cameras. ]
no subject
Anyways, those two'll know what to look for when it comes to red flags. Or they can outsource it to some of the media team.]
Unless they didn't knock him out and could just silence him.
[Which didn't explain why the blood splatter wasn't more if Kaminari was thrashing around. Somehow between the fucked up failsafe room and the area out the back, Kaminari lost the visor. Whether it was on purpose or on accident's the big question. Doesn't entirely help them, but...]
They might have thought it had a tracker in it, so got rid of it since it was cracked. The rest of his gear could be pawned or broken down for parts, so it makes sense they kept that if they had a way to disable the tracker inside.
[Talking himself through this logically helps keep him focused and not let his emotions rage too far out of control. Another reason why he told Sero to come along with him. And he figured the service road would join with the main road. With either direction possible. But just as he's about to start to scour the area, the surveillance team comes through for them.]
Shizuoka.
[And head's that way. Though it might be a far cry, he's keeping lower to the ground, looking for any possible blood stains. A ridiculous feat going at this speed, but... who knows. Also any garbage trucks.]
no subject
Exactly in cases like these. Chargebolt might be known as 'dumb', but not socially. He weaves that like a master.
Flying and hanging on (and sometimes swinging from place to place) makes it hard to talk for Sero, since he's using more of his body to move - but the comms work well enough. ]
Silence him and stop his quirk from frying the attacker at the same time? Nah man, I'm still on the knocked-out theory. Unless they drugged him, but that doesn't explain the blood.
[ They're directed to the city, which is both good and bad. There's a lot of traffic and a lot of garbage trucks. ]
Weren't you and Deku born in this prefecture? Were you ever in the city?
[ No blood stains. No dropped garbage. Nothing. ]
no subject
Leave the social shit to him; Katsuki's glad Denki handles that kind of crap. He doesn't even deal with his own website, despite Best Jeanist's agency setting one up for him. (Kaminari probably has to handle it.)
One of those "yeah you do it, don't care" moments in Bakugou's life.
That's why there's comms, Sero. Ignore the occasional "boom" that happens nearby and in the link.]
Rubber. Insulated bindings. Grounding mats. There's a lot of ways to shut him up and kill his voltage at the same time. [Bakugou's still on the KO theory as well, mostly due to the bloodstain at head height on the walls. And the visor.] The fact they were in the building after he got everyone out says they were either there before or came in while no one was looking.
[CAUSE THE FUCKING PERIMETER WASN'T SET UP LIKE IT WAS FUCKING SUPPOSED TO, GODDAMMIT!!]
Yeah and yeah. [Meaning he'll know his way around once they get directs and landmarks. Bakugou lands atop one of the taller buildings nearby, scanning the glowing streets and dark rooftops below.] Why would they take him? Quirk. Ransom. Hostage. Murder. Message. Trade. Gotta be one of those six.
no subject
Kaminari doesn't believe in secrets unless they're funny or he has something to tease about. They've been through enough shit already, so he's not hiding anything that could be a problem. He'll just block and move on if he has to; he does the same with the few things Bakugou has online.
Mostly it's selfies with the boyfriend, because ever since they were going loudly public with their relationship, the electric hero might have something of a thing about showing off his man. Both because he's happy and he's a little bit jealous sometimes. ]
"You know, it might not even be his blood."
[ Sero muses as he lands next to Bakugou, checking the other side. ]
"...I don't think murder. They would have killed him already, and what would the motive even be for that? I think either quirk or hostage. Maybe ransom, but I'm pretty sure the Commission doesn't do that no matter how better it is, now."
honestly love the last few icons have been kaminari fighting
Bakugou's not all that restricting with the selfies either, trusting his boyfriend not to put up something embarrassing or personal (without knowing the fatal consequences, of course). It's not like he's got too much a problem with occasionally being shown off. He won't admit it, but he likes the attention in small doses.]
Maybe not, but Kaminari's not one to draw blood if he can help it.
[Plus it was on his visor as as well and the height of it on the wall was close to Denki's height. Still, he's far more likely to electrocute someone than bash them hard enough to spray red like that...]
Right. Another reason it's stupid the media's pushing for "death" already. [He frowns at the other ideas. Quirk or Hostage. Ransom would be stupid because the money would be recovered easily after paying.] A ransom would be pointless unless they planned to double cross at the end.
never give up! ⚡
...possibly because Chargebolt looks like he's screaming his lungs out. ]
"Yeah, I know. Things happen, though."
[ Sero still agrees, however. Kaminari doesn't really have the stomach for drawing blood, especially not like that. Zapping them is more likely. ]
"Hostage for what, though? Are they planning a bigger stunt?"
[ ...and why Denki, in that case? Even if he's a lesser ranked hero just starting out, he's not the easiest target... and they were definitely aiming for him.
There's no sign of the garbage truck with the false plates from their position, even if Sero swoops down to check every one they see. Surveillance is mentioning it going further into the city, and then it's quiet for a moment. ]
"Dynamight, Cellophane. We've lost visual of the truck. It headed down an alleyway without cameras to access, and has not appeared again."
[ They quickly send the street name and the coordinates. ]
no subject
The flight over the city had been fun. How Kaminari didn't lose his phone was a miracle.]
So what. There was only that spot and some on his visor. No one's bashing open fucking temples or stabbing knives.
[There wasn't a sign of some major struggle. A quick battle was what Bakugou expected happened. The further question only makes him furrow his brows more, glaring into the night.]
That or they think they can use him as some kinda... piece for something.
[A battery, a shield, a bargaining chip, some insurance. And they would know that taking Kaminari would get a number of eyes from Class 1-A on them. They still tend to look out for each other and take shit personally when someone goes after one of them. Don't go through a damn war together with all that social upheaval the way they did and not come out of it tight knit.]
Fuck, finally.
[A street name and coordinates. While he doesn't try to stop Cellophane's sweeping checks, Dynamight figures it's a waste of time and energy. Shooting into the dark won't help outside of incredible luck. But once he's got those two things...]
We're going, Scotch!
[And takes off into the air again, blasting towards the coordinates and street. Denki, you better be fucking alive or I swear I'll drag you back down from Heaven myself!]
no subject
"A piece. Like this kidnapping chess they're playing."
[ Sero says with a frown. He keeps checking garbage trucks because what if, but he knows it's waste of time. He just needs to do something or he'll crawl out of his skin. The coordinates coming through are a blessing, and he snaps his elbow out to tape himself to Dynamight again so they can take off.
Even with the quick soaring, it still takes them seven or so minutes to get to the right alley. Unfortunately it's not a small backside one-way thing, but an alley with fair amount of passage and cars driving by. The garbage truck is neatly parked to the side, so Sero swiftly swings down to tie the doors shut just in case anyone tried to make a run for it.
The front is empty, though. Nobody there.
Just the garbage area itself to check. ]
"...they didn't compact him, right?"
no subject
Guess you could look at it that way. Could use him as a shield, experiment, battery, bargain... Whatever. They know he's valuable.
[For his Quirk, for his safety, for his friendship, no one kidnaps a hero at random or in some void. There's always a reason behind it. A brief grunt as tape sticks to his back and he slams an explosion in place to brace himself as Sero pulls, giving the other hero the resistance needed to launch himself. It's a belay system they've got going on.
No, he doesn't expect to find anyone there when they arrive. But at least they've found the location the truck was last spotted, so that's progress. Except...]
FUCK! [This isn't some shitty back alley dead end! It's a full way busy street! At least the damn truck's there and Bakugou lands nearby while Sero preemptively seals the doors shut. Good thought, no comment, but pointless in result. They wouldn't still be here unless this was the place they wanted to make their final stand.]
OF COURSE THEY DIDN'T COMPACT HIM, YOU SHIT!
[He says. But that lie of assumption might be a cracked facade as Dynamight doesn't even wait to get inside and use the controls, but rather grabs the back of the garbage truck's door and rips the entire thing open if he has to. Hauls the metal up and shoves his face into his collar to avoid the smell that's gonna hit him full in the nose.]
no subject
The smell is not pleasant, but not as horrible as it could be. There's no trash in the truck - instead there's a bunch of old tires and a mesh cage made from some form of metal. Its door is closed, but it's seemingly unlocked since the padlock is on the floor. Inside are what looks like a pile of clothes. A closer look reveals that it's Chargebolt's hero suit and equipment, sans a trademark choker. Even his underwear, so someone stripped him completely - possibly to avoid any bugs.
There's a little bit of blood on the floor of the mesh cage, but not enough to suggest a serious wound. ]
"You find anything?"
[ The taller hero asks from the front, just as the support team announces that the investigators and police are about five minutes away. If Dynamight opens the mesh cage's door, they'll also report that Chargebolt's comm and trackers are back on.
Once again it doesn't look great - the kidnappers could have changed vehicles here, and fully disappeared into the city. ]
no subject
That's what you get for being more effective than one of the most effective heroes out there, Sero!
Bakugou drops to his feet, bouncing off the ledge of the garbage truck's hold, still not exactly keen on wading into a bunch of compacted garbage to look for someone who's likely not even there. But lucky for him, there's no trash. Just... tires. That gets him climbing inside immediately, igniting a small cluster burst in his hand to illuminate the back. Shit... From Kaminari's hero costume to rubber to some kind of cage made of metal. He glances at the floor of the cage, wondering if there's some kind of grounding pad there to keep the guy from electrifying the entire truck. Or if the tires were handling that (assumption). Couldn't have just been the tires, since he could still get a damn finger out on the metal unless his juice was completely drained.
There's... a far more personal level of rage at seeing his boyfriend's underwear... He knows it's to avoid wires or bugs, but... Bakugou shoves the thoughts out of his head.]
Yeah. There's a whole jury-rigged setup to keep him captured in here. This was fucking planned a long ways out.
[And quickly relays what he found into the comm, efficient detailed curtness included. He does open the mesh cage, only to growl about the report of Chargebolt's comm and tracker going online. Of course they are. He's fucking looking at them. Against his temptations, he avoids moving anything beyond the cage door. Leave that for the inspectors.]
They had to have some way to keep him from electrocuting everything in here, tires be damned. So either he was unconscious or drained or his Quirk was cancelled...
no subject
At the mention of the jury-rigged thing, Sero sticks his head out of the front. These people definitely went hard on this. ]
"Shit, really?"
[ Sero makes his may to the back and climbs in, only to do an impressed whistle between his teeth. ]
"They put him in a whole-ass Faraday cage? That blocks all electrical signals and it protects from electricity. You can stand in one and have it shocked by lightning and it will shield you."
[ Thank you, random game trivia. ]
"So no matter what trackers he might have on him, they would all be useless. Protect the truck from his quirk, too. Then they probably switched cars... fuck."
[ They lost the perps... and Chargebolt. ]
no subject
No I'm shitting you. Yes really!
[Don't waste his time being flabbergasted, dammit! (He may have to somewhatkindapologize to Sero later for snarling at him throughout this mission, but that's for later.]
Tsk, wow, you recognized it. [Gritting his teeth and growling cause he forgot the official name for it despite knowing the function of said cage. Not letting Sero realize he momentarily one-upped him.] Yeah but if the lightning's coming from the inside out...
[Even if Kaminari could get so much as one finger out to touch the floor... well that's on a rubber mat, so never-fucking-mind; they took the simple precaution too. Probably also there to cushion the cage so it wouldn't bump around inside the back of the truck. Because garbage trucks are the smoothest of rides.]
The video only saw it turn down this alley, but it's not a dead end...
[He looks up the sides of the alley. Depending on the buildings, maybe someone in the buildings heard or saw something from looking out the window. Probably no luck on tire tracks leading out of the alley one way or another.]
no subject
Plus why waste the work when Dynamight knows Chargebolt the best?
Sero isn't bothered by all the outbursts and snapping, he kind of understands it. He'll probably accept an apology, but it's not like he expected his friend to be friendly while this was going on. ]
"It works on blocking things from the inside, too. If he even woke up, I feel like there would be more of a struggle to get him out if he was awake."
[ That would take precious minutes off of getting out of the truck and get into another car.
The buildings on the sides seem to be offices, with one side completely covered with a billboard and no windows. The other side has windows but looks like it's dark, but that doesn't mean there aren't people inside that might have seen something.
The police arrives just as Sero jumps out of the garbage truck as well, and starts putting up a perimeter, tape and photos. ]
"You want me to update them?"
no subject
It's so tempting to vent his anger on the cage, so he gets out of the garbage truck and hangs off to the side to avoid putting his damn foot through the metal sides. Didn't seem like the cage itself was very roughed up either, so either Kaminari didn't try to get out of it or was prevented from making the effort.]
Unless they had a reason to get his cooperation.
[Whether he was still groggy from the head blow, was threatened to behave, or was already restrained, no fucking clue. The lack of concrete details helping in this case are frustrating, but... that's kind of the damn point of a kidnapping. Not to leave as many clues as possible.
Noticing the office building as the only viable target, Bakugou makes that his next target when the police arrive. He joins up with Sero as the other hero jumps out of the truck.]
Yeah. When you're done, let look inside and see if anyone might've seen something.
[No clue if anyone's in the dark building or not... but given the case around them, Bakugou's opting not to go in there alone.]
no subject
Sero looks back at Bakugou as 'cooperation' is mentioned and frowns. ]
"You don't think they're stupid enough to try doing what the LoV did to you? Trying to make him join them."
[ Not that Chargebolt would, but that's also a possible motive. Less so than the others, but still.
The tape hero nods at the go-ahead and then walks over to the police to fill them in on what they found. He mentions the cage and the possible switch of cars, asking them to check cameras for all cars that drove through. Anything that they can find.
Another crowd is gathering, of course, curious bystanders wondering what's going on and then seeing heroes. The press probably isn't far away, either.
By now it's been nearly three and a half hours since Chargebolt disappeared. ]
no subject
If they're that stupid, we don't have to worry about shit.
[No, he highly doubts they want Kaminari to join them, or even think they can get him to do so. If anything, they want his Quirk and his connections to their advantage. Is his assumption at least.
Bakugou agrees with the monitoring decision. Checking any cars that left (or entered) the alley after the garbage truck went inside it. Maybe one of the cars had a fucked up license plate? Speaking of... how the hell did these people even get a garbage truck in the first place? Dynamight brings that up. Either the original drivers were taken out, or these people conned their way into getting a truck. And ripped off the plate or covered it up or bribed someone. Waste Management should be called to come identify the garbage truck and report any that were stolen or missing for the day and who the people were whose drove it last.
Katsuki tries calling Denki cellphone as he heads for the building, checking inside for occupants that might've seen or heard something going on outside the windows. Of course, if it's empty, then yeah, he'll head back out.]
no subject
The police and support team agree to check the cars and other things that might have entered and/or left the alley, and checking with Waste Management as well. It's going to take a bit longer since the alley is fairly busy, but this is still currently the highest priority.
Police also inform the two heroes that while they have not finished any DNA analysis yet, the blood type on the splatter in the power station was the same as Chargebolt's. It's not too much help since it's one of the most common blood types, but it's something.
Denki's cellphone is quiet. Turned off, smashed... who knows?
Once done reporting to the others, Cellophane joins up with Dynamight again to check the building. A sign on the door says that it is closed for remodeling, with a timeline explaining when they open again. It's in several days. Still, the door is opened by the police and they can go through the place, floor by floor.
Nothing.
Going back out again reveals that the press has arrived, and this time they're less scared and/or respectful. ]
"Dynamight! Dynamight! What are your thoughts on this case? Is Chargebolt still alive? Does Chargebolt's family know? Was he taken to blackmail you? What do you want to say to the villains if they're listening?"
[ Questions are raining down on the explosive here, and some even try to get Sero's opinion on it all, which he completely ignores in favor to update the police again. ]
no subject
Blood test doesn't tell him much; whether it was Chargebolt that got smacked or one of the thugs, there's not enough blood to suggest it was a serious injury. So that's at least... something positive. Dynamight scowls at the returned signal. Long shot, but no, he didn't expect to get his boyfriend's phone online.
Into the building, looking for anything that might help. The closed sign doesn't offer any real suggestion of help, but it's just one more stone to check and one more dead end to throw over their shoulder. Bakugou goes from floor to floor, checking even the roof top and any windows that might've been close to the alley scene. Nothing... He leaves the area irritated and less patient.
Doesn't help the press is here and being an intrusive piece of shit.]
He's alive. Now fuck off.
[That's all he's going to give them, stalking past the snapping bulbs and microphones thrust into their space. Tsk, now what. They've exhausted most of their immediate actions outside of simply running around and looking with their eyes. The garbage truck is been checked, videos of the alley entrances reviewed, the powerplant staff questioned.]
Until they get back to us with videos, we're running blind at this point.
no subject
Police are bagging the hero costume into evidence, pulling random Denki shit out of the pockets - a few candies, keys, a power bank, his hero license, receipts, explosion-lightning earrings, and a tiny pikachu squishie to occupy his hands when he's concentrating. Still no sign of his choker, though.
Sero claps Bakugou's shoulder at the mention of running blind, out of ideas as well. All they could do was hope that the surveillance caught something after going through the cars going past. ]
"RR is about to arrive at the train station, I'm gonna ask a driver to pick him up. Pinky's almost here, too. There's a local agency that's willing to loan us their services, and a hotel right by."
[ Nobody's going home right now, especially not them... but they can't exactly just stand here. ]
"What do you want to do, dude?"
no subject
Denki, why the hell do you have candies and receipts in your hero costume pockets?! Katsuki narrows his eyes at the earrings, but can't take them like he wants. The lack of his choker, however, still bothers him. Did they miss it? Did Kaminari throw it out the window somehow? Was it left in the garbage truck? Did the kidnappers take it with them? Why the fuck didn't they put a tracker in his goddamn collar?!
Katsuki growls when Sero's hand claps on his shoulder, bearing with it for a few seconds before shrugging it off with a huff. They were stuck with the surveillance cameras, waiting to see what left the alleyway. It shouldn't be entirely difficult? Wait to see a car go in and then not come out for a questionable amount of time. There was nothing in the alley that would suggest it as a place to stop in the blind spot outside of shady business like this. And no one in the office building meant there was no one "officially" that would be meeting someone there for business related to that office building. So... logically... fuck.]
Rough up some lowlifes until they give us some fucking useful information.
[Despite the fact that they can't. They're not vigilantes. They can't go out and beat up some thugs to drag potential information out of them. But that doesn't stop Katsuki from wanting to do that, dammit. The local agency and the hotel sound useful right now, with Eijirou and Mina coming soon enough.]
I'm gonna take a few rounds on the city. See if there's any electrical areas fucking up.
no subject
Sero doesn't mind the way Bakugou growls like and angry dog and then eventually pulls away, instead starting to coordinate the pickup of their squad members. While it should not be too hard to find out what car might have stopped, it's a busy place and a lot of cars to go through, run plates and find the owners or a fake plate.
They might just have thrown him into a moving car, too.
The comment about roughing up some lowlifes earns a bit of a look from the tall hero, but he's honestly half into it when it comes to his friends. Sadly they have to be pillars of the community and not beating up people for answers.
The second suggestion is more acceptable... if less cathartic. ]
"Alright. I'll set up everyone at the agency - it's CrissCross Agency, it's the one with the big 'X' - and get us some rooms. Keep me updated over comms, ok?"
no subject
True, but most cars would go in and leave. Stopping to deal with a fucking garbage truck and a caged hero would take, should take, more time. Plus... that's a fucking garbage truck. That'd back up traffic if it stopped on an alley street... It's a lead regardless and Bakugou'll communicate those thoughts to anyone on the research team he's in communication with.
He's... not going to think about them chucking Kaminari out of his Faraday cage, out the back of the garbage truck, and into a car or truck driving on by. Talk about coordination.
Yeah. One red eyes slides towards Hanta when he says it, if only to gauge his reaction and make himself feel better for wanting to do such a thing. Then goes back to his own focus efforts. He might not be doing anything "useful" with some random scouting, but it's better than sitting around waiting and doing nothing until a clue is hit upon.]
Yeah. I'll be in touch. [He'll leave Sero to get everything arranged. With nothing else to do here, Dynamight blasts off and takes to the skies again, scouring the city for any lights that might be flickering, running brighter than normal, or perhaps some electric grids of power plants. Who the fuck knows.]
no subject
While Dynamight heads to the sky to search for something, the rest of the Bakusquad gather up at the offered Agency to plan their own searches, be it physical or online. So far RR and Pinky has not found anything on the Chargebolt social media aside from the normal whackos, and it honestly took forever since Denki had his Chargebolt Instagram and Twitter since UA.
They send that little but ultimately useless info to the comms, all while the support team work their asses off to help forensics with anything they can.
All of that, and there's still nothing. Hours pass and it's getting dark. Eight hours passed since Chargebolt disappeared. ]
