Summary
Mindjack’s expression twisted into something more thoughtful. His gaze intensified, more discerning. Izuku imagined it was what he looked like when he was focused on one of his projects. “Does anyone know you’re here right now?” Mindjack asked.
Lie. He had to lie. Izuku focused on the word ‘yes’. He would lie. He would. Izuku could feel everything in him pushing back. He opened his mouth. “No,” Izuku said.
“Stay,” Mindjack ordered. He moved swiftly to the end of the alleyway and glanced both ways before returning to Izuku. His next words were matter-of-fact, leaving no room for rebute even if Izuku was able to offer one. “Take off your mask.”
